¹

Нечести'вым же до конца` без# млsти ја%рость на'иде” Прови'дњ б^о и^хъ и^ бђдђщая,

¹

As for the ungodly, wrath came upon them without mercy unto the end: for he knew before what they would do;

²

ја^ко сїи ѓ^браще'ннїи еже ѓ^ста'вити, и^ съ т#ща'нїемᲆ эTпђсти'ша и^хъ” Гна'ша въ слњд# раска'явшися,

²

how that having given them leave to depart, and sent them hastily away, they would repent and pursue them.

³

е^ще б^о въ рђка'хъ и^мњ'юще рыда'нїя, и^ сњтђ'ющися гробомъ мрт~выX, и%нъ себњ взя'ша по'мыслъ безђмїя. і^ и^хже моля'щи и^згна'ша иX а^ки бњгльцы гоня'хђ”

³

For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to be gone.

⁴

Влеча'ше б^о и^хъ къ семђ концђ досто'ина нђжда, и^ приклю'чшихся не въспомянђтїе вложи`” да'же и^ прочая мђкамъ ко и^сполне'нїю мђче'нїя.

⁴

For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had already happened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting to their torments:

⁵

лю'ди же ᲄвоя пресла'вное пђтьше'ствїе и^скђси`. ѓ^ни' же стра'ннђ ѓ^бря'щђтъ смр~ть”

⁵

and that thy people might pass through a wonderful way: but they might find a strange death.

⁶

Все' бо творе'нїе въ свое'мъ е^мђ родђ` па'ки со выjше преѓ^бразя'шеся, слђжа'щи своиственыM повеле'нїемъ, да ѓ'троцы твои` съхраня'тся неврежде'ни.

⁶

For the whole creature in his proper kind was fashioned again anew, serving the peculiar commandments that were given unto them, that thy children might be kept without hurt:

⁷

ѓ%блакъ ѓ^сеня'щїи по'клъ и^хъ, и^ вла'жна земля` сђха ја^ви'ся. и^з мо'ря чермнаго пђть беꙁъ прет#кнове'нїя, и^ по'ле процвиᲄа'ющи эT волны зᲇлныя

⁷

as namely, a cloud shadowing the camp; and where water stood before, dry land appeared; and out of the Red sea a way without impediment; and out of the violent stream a green field:

⁸

и^мже весь ја^зы'къ про'иде, твое'ю рђкою покрове'ни” Ви'дящи ди'вная и^ чюдеса`,

⁸

through which all the people went that were defended with thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders.

⁹

ја^ко ко'ни насыти'шася, и^ ја^ко а'гньци възра'довашася хваля'ще т^я г~и и^зба'вльшаго и^хъ”

⁹

For they went at large like horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them.

¹⁰

Въспомянђся бо е^ще и^мъ, иже въ ѓ^бита'нїю и^хъ. ка'ко ё^бо за рожде'нїе живо'тныхъ и^зведе земля скни'фы, и^ за рыбы эTри'гнђ рњка` мно'жество жа'бъ”

¹⁰

For they were yet mindful of the things that were done while they sojourned in the strange land, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes.

¹¹

Послњди же ви'дњшA и^ новорожDенїе птицъ, ја%ко похотњнїемъ и^зве'дени, проси'ша сла'достьныя пи'ща,

¹¹

But afterward they saw a new generation of fowls, when, being led with their appetite, they asked delicate meats.

¹²

въ похотњнїю б^о в#зыидо'ша и^мъ эT мо'ря крастели. мђче'нїя грњшнымъ наи^до'ша не безъ быvшихъ зна'менїи, по нђж'ди гро'ма пра'ведне б^о пострада'ша по свои^хъ безако'нїяхъ.

¹²

For quails came up unto them from the sea for their contentment.

¹³

и^б^о лю'тњишее ненавидњнїе на страннолю'бца насᲄа'вишA и^нїи б^о незна'емыхъ не прїемля'хђ прише'лецъ, сїи же бл~годњтелїю страннолю'бцоM слђжа'хђ,

¹³

And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.

¹⁴

и^ не тоkмо н^о е^же кое расмотре'нїе бђдеT иX. зане насиляеми въспрїемляхђ чю'ждиX.

¹⁴

For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them.

¹⁵

нᲇцыи же съ пра'знесᲄвами въспрїеMля'хђ сиX, ё^же` ѓ^бы'чаемъ приѓ^бща'ющеся пра'ведныX. жесточа'ишими ѓ^ѕлоби'ша бо'лњꙁньми.

¹⁵

And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly:

¹⁶

побїени же сђть ѓ^слњпле'нїемъ, ја%коже и^ ѓ^ни` при две'реX прпDбнаго съ ско'рыми покровени бяхђ тма' ми. ко'ждо же прохода своиX две'рїи и^ска'ше,

¹⁶

but these very grievously afflicted them, whom they had received with feastings, and were already made partakers of the same laws with them.

¹⁷

і^ и'хъ ра'ди стихїи премњне'ны. ја%ко въ гђслехᲆ стрђны послњдова'нїю и%мени премњня'тся, и^ всегда` свое^го шђма стрегђтъ. ꙁане` е^сть ви'дњти ѓ%бразђ бы'вшаго и%стиннњ.

¹⁷

Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man: when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage of his own doors.

¹⁸

сђха'я въ вла'жная ѓ^браща'хђся, и^ е^ли'ка бњхђ пла'вающїа в зе'млю проидя'хђ.

¹⁸

For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived by the sight of the things that have been done.

¹⁹

ѓ%гнь можа'ше наD во'дђ выш#ше своея си'лы, и^ вода` ё^гаша'ющђ си'лђ ꙁабы`

¹⁹

For earthly things were turned into watery, and the things, that before swam in the water, now went upon the ground.

²⁰

пла'мени эT противле'нїя и^стлњнных# живо'тныхъ. не трђди'ша пло'теи проходя'щихъ. ниже та'ющаго ледоѓ'брзне тлњненъ ро'дъ нетлᲇнныя пи'ща.

²⁰

The fire had power in the water, forgetting his own virtue: and the water forgat his own quenching nature.

²¹

по всемђ` г~и въꙁвели'чилᲆ е^си лю'ди твоя, и^ просла'виl е^си и^ не пре'зрњлᲆ е^си въ все вре'мя и^ на вся'ком# мњсте преDстоя`”

²¹

On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of the corruptible living things, though they walked therein; neither melted they the icy kind of heavenly meat, that was of nature apt to melt.
