И# ви1дэ їwнаfaнъ ћкw врeмz є3мY споспэшествyетъ, и3 и3збрA мyжы и3 послA и5хъ въ ри1мъ состaвити и3 њбнови1ти съ ни1ми дрyжбу,

¹

Now when Jonathan saw that the time served him, he chose certain men, and sent them to Rome, for to confirm and renew the friendship that they had with them.

²

и3 ко спартіaтwмъ и3 ко и3ны6мъ мэстHмъ послA є3пістHліи, по томyжде w4бразу.

²

He sent letters also to the Lacedemonians, and to other places, for the same purpose.

³

И# и3д0ша въ ри1мъ и3 внид0ша въ совётный д0мъ и3 рек0ша: їwнаfaнъ ґрхіерeй и3 kзhкъ їудeйскій послaша нaсъ њбнови1ти дрyжбу съ вaми и3 споборeніе по прeжнему.

³

So they went unto Rome, and entered into the senate, and said, Jonathan the high priest, and the people of the Jews, sent us unto you, to the end ye should renew the friendship, which ye had with them, and league, as in former time.

⁴

И# дaша є3пістHліи и5мъ къ ни6мъ по мёсту, да пров0дzтъ и5хъ въ зeмлю їyдину съ ми1ромъ.

⁴

Upon this the Romans gave them letters unto the governors of every place, that they should bring them into the land of Judea peaceably.

⁵

И# сіE списaніе є3піст0лій, и5хже писA їwнаfaнъ ко спартіaтwмъ:

⁵

And this is the copy of the letters which Jonathan wrote to the Lacedemonians:

⁶

їwнаfaнъ ґрхіерeй и3 старBйшины людjй, и3 жерцы2 и3 пр0чіи лю1діе їудeйстіи, спартіaтwмъ брaтіи рaдоватисz:

⁶

Jonathan the high priest, and the elders of the nation, and the priests, and the other people of the Jews, unto the Lacedemonians their brethren send greeting:

⁷

є3щE прeжде пHсланы бsху є3пістHліи ко nнjи ґрхіерeю t дaріа цaрствовавшагw въ вaсъ, ћкw є3стE брaтіz н†ша, ћкоже списaніе содержи1тъ:

⁷

There were letters sent in times past unto Onias the high priest from Darius, who reigned then among you, to signify that ye are our brethren, as the copy here underwritten doth specify.

⁸

и3 пріS nнjа мyжа п0сланаго слaвнw и3 пріsтъ є3пістHліи, въ ни1хже завэщaно њ споборeніи и3 дрyжбэ:

⁸

At which time Onias entreated the ambassador that was sent honourably, and received the letters, wherein declaration was made of the league and friendship.

⁹

и3 мы2 u5бо не трeбующе си1хъ, ўтэшeніе и3мyще с™ы6z кни6ги, ±же въ рукaхъ нaшихъ,

⁹

Therefore we also, albeit we need none of these things, for that we have the holy books of scripture in our hands to comfort us,

¹⁰

покуси1хомсz послaти къ вaмъ њбнови1ти брaтство и3 дрyжбу, є4же бы не tчужди1тисz вaсъ: мнHга бо временA проид0ша, tнeлэже послaсте къ нaмъ:

¹⁰

have nevertheless attempted to send unto you for the renewing of brotherhood and friendship, lest we should become strangers unto you altogether: for there is a long time passed since ye sent unto us.

¹¹

мы2 u5бо во всsко врeмz непрестaннw и3 въ прaздники и3 въ пр0чихъ подобaющихъ днeхъ воспоминaемъ вaсъ въ жeртвахъ, ±же прин0симъ, и3 въ моли1твахъ, ћкоже подобaетъ и3 лёпо є4сть воспоминaти брaтію:

¹¹

We therefore at all times without ceasing, both in our feasts, and other convenient days, do remember you in the sacrifices which we offer, and in our prayers, as reason is, and as it becometh us to think upon our brethren:

¹²

весели1мсz u5бо њ слaвэ вaшей:

¹²

and we are right glad of your honour.

¹³

нaсъ же њбыд0ша мнHги скHрби и3 мнHги бр†ни, и3 рaтоваша нaсъ цaріе, и5же w4крестъ нaсъ:

¹³

As for ourselves, we have had great troubles and wars on every side, forsomuch as the kings that are round about us have fought against us.

¹⁴

не хотёхомъ u5бо стужaти вaмъ и3 прHчіимъ споб0рникwмъ и3 другHмъ нaшымъ во брaнехъ си1хъ,

¹⁴

Howbeit we would not be troublesome unto you, nor to others of our confederates and friends, in these wars:

¹⁵

и3мёемъ бо съ нб7сE п0мощь помогaющую нaмъ, и3 и3збaвихомсz t вр†гъ нaшихъ, и3 смири1шасz врази2 нaши:

¹⁵

for we have help from heaven that succoureth us, so as we are delivered from our enemies, and our enemies are brought under foot.

¹⁶

и3збрaхомъ u5бо нуми1ніа ґнті0хова сhна и3 ґнтіпaтра їасHнова, и3 послaхомъ къ ри1млzнwмъ њбнови1ти съ ни1ми дрyжбу и3 споборeніе прeжнее:

¹⁶

For this cause we chose Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater the son of Jason, and sent them unto the Romans, to renew the amity that we had with them, and the former league.

¹⁷

заповёдахомъ u5бо и5мъ и3 къ вaмъ поити2 и3 поздрaвити вaсъ, и3 дaти вaмъ t нaсъ пwслaніz њ њбновлeніи и3 њ брaтствэ нaшемъ:

¹⁷

We commanded them also to go unto you, and to salute you, and to deliver you our letters concerning the renewing of our brotherhood.

¹⁸

и3 нн7э добрЁ сотворитE tвэщавaюще нaмъ на сі‰.

¹⁸

Wherefore now ye shall do well to give us an answer thereto.

¹⁹

И# сіE списaніе послaній, и5хже послA nнjи:

¹⁹

And this is the copy of the letters which Oniares sent.

²⁰

дaрій цaрь спартіaтwвъ nнjи свzщeннику вели1кому рaдоватисz:

²⁰

Areus king of the Lacedemonians to Onias the high priest, greeting:

²¹

њбрётесz въ писaніихъ њ спартіaтэхъ и3 їудeехъ, ћкw сyть брaтіz и3 ћкw сyть t р0да ґвраaмлz:

²¹

It is found in writing, that the Lacedemonians and Jews are brethren, and that they are of the stock of Abraham:

²²

и3 нн7э, tнeлэже сі‰ познaхомъ, д0брэ сотворитE пи1шуще нaмъ њ ми1рэ вaшемъ:

²²

now therefore, since this is come to our knowledge, ye shall do well to write unto us of your prosperity.

²³

и3 мh же восписaхомъ вaмъ: ск0ти вaши и3 и3мёніе вaше н†ша сyть, и3 ±же н†ша в†ша сyть: повелёхомъ u5бо, да возвэстsтъ вaмъ сі‰.

²³

We do write back again to you, that your cattle and goods are our's, and our's are your's. We do command therefore our ambassadors to make report unto you on this wise.

²⁴

И# слhша їwнаfaнъ, ћкw возврати1шасz нач†лницы дими1трієвы съ си1лою мн0гою, пaче нeже прeжде, рaтовати нaнь,

²⁴

Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius' princes were come to fight against him with a greater host than afore,

²⁵

и3 и3зhде и3з8 їеrли1ма, и3 срёте и4хъ во ґмаfjтстэй странЁ: не бо2 дадE и5мъ врeмене, да вни1дутъ во странY є3гw2:

²⁵

he removed from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amathis: for he gave them no respite to enter his country.

²⁶

и3 послA созирaтєли въ п0лкъ и4хъ: и3 возврати1шасz и3 возвэсти1ша є3мY, ћкw си1це ўстроsютсz напaсти на нS н0щію.

²⁶

He sent spies also unto their tents, who came again, and told him that they were appointed to come upon them in the night season.

²⁷

Е#гдa же зaйде с0лнце, заповёда їwнаfaнъ свои6мъ бдёти и3 бhти во nрyжіи и3 гот0витисz на брaнь всю2 н0щь, и3 постaви стрaжы w4крестъ полкA.

²⁷

Wherefore so soon as the sun was down, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms, that all the night long they might be ready to fight: also he sent forth centinels round about the host.

²⁸

И# слhшаша супостaти, ћкw гот0въ є4сть їwнаfaнъ со свои1ми на брaнь, и3 ўбоsшасz и3 ўжас0шасz сeрдцемъ свои1мъ, и3 возжг0ша nгни6 въ полцЁ своeмъ и3 tид0ша.

²⁸

But when the adversaries heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, they feared, and trembled in their hearts, and they kindled fires in their camp.

²⁹

Їwнаfaнъ же и3 и5же съ ни1мъ бёша, не познaша дaже до ќтра: ви1дzху бо nгни6 горsщыz.

²⁹

Howbeit Jonathan and his company knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning.

³⁰

И# погнA їwнаfaнъ в8слёдъ и4хъ и3 не дости1же и4хъ, преид0ша бо є3леvfeру рэкY.

³⁰

Then Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they were gone over the river Eleutherus.

³¹

И# њбрати1сz їwнаfaнъ на ґрaвы, и5же нарицaхусz заведeє, и3 порази2 и5хъ, и3 взS кwрhсти и4хъ.

³¹

Wherefore Jonathan turned to the Arabians, who were called Zabadeans, and smote them, and took their spoils.

³²

И# востaвъ и4де въ дамaскъ и3 прохождaше всю2 странY тY.

³²

And removing thence, he came to Damascus, and so passed through all the country.

³³

Сjмwнъ же и3зhде и3 пріи1де дaже до ґскалHна и3 бли1жнихъ твердhнь, и3 ўклони1сz во їoппjю и3 взS ю5.

³³

Simon also went forth, and passed through the country unto Ascalon, and the holds there adjoining, from whence he turned aside to Joppe, and won it.

³⁴

Слhша бо, ћкw совэщaшасz твердhню предaти странЁ дими1тріевэ, и3 постaви тaмw стрaжу, да стрегyтъ ю5.

³⁴

For he had heard that they would deliver the hold unto them that took Demetrius' part: wherefore he set a garrison there to keep it.

³⁵

И# возврати1сz їwнаfaнъ, и3 собрA старBйшины людск‡z, и3 совэщaсz съ ни1ми созидaти тверды6ни во їудeи

³⁵

After this came Jonathan home again, and calling the elders of the people together, he consulted with them about building strong holds in Judea,

³⁶

и3 возвhсити стёны їеrли6мскіz и3 воздви1гнути высотY вeлію междY краегрaдіемъ и3 грaдомъ, є4же бы tлучи1ти џное t грaда, да бyдетъ сіE на ўединeніи, ћкw да ни купyютъ, нижE продаю1тъ.

³⁶

and making the walls of Jerusalem higher, and raising a great mount between the tower and the city, for to separate it from the city, that so it might be alone, that men might neither sell nor buy in it.

³⁷

И# собрaшасz созидaти грaдъ, падe бо стэнA пот0ка, ћже t вост0ка, и3 ўгот0ваша нарицaемое хафенаfA.

³⁷

Upon this they came together to build up the city, forasmuch as part of the wall toward the brook on the east side was fallen down, and they repaired that which was called Caphenatha.

³⁸

И# сjмwнъ создA ґдідY въ сефи1лэ и3 ўтверди2 вратA и3 завHры.

³⁸

Simon also set up Adida in Sephela, and made it strong with gates and bars.

³⁹

И# взыскA трЂфwнъ цaрствовати во ґсjи и3 возложи1ти діади1му и3 прострeти рyку на ґнті0ха царS,

³⁹

Now Tryphon went about to get the kingdom of Asia, and to kill Antiochus the king, that he might set the crown upon his own head.

⁴⁰

и3 ўбоsсz, да не когдA не попyститъ є3мY їwнаfaнъ и3 рaтовати бyдетъ на него2, и3 взыскA пути2, є4же ћти їwнаfaна и3 ўби1ти є3го2: и3 востaвъ пріи1де въ веfсaнъ.

⁴⁰

Howbeit he was afraid that Jonathan would not suffer him, and that he would fight against him; wherefore he sought a way how to take Jonathan, that he might kill him. So he removed, and came to Bethsan.

⁴¹

И# и3зhде їwнаfaнъ во срётеніе є3мY съ четhредесzтію ты6сzщію мужeй и3збрaнныхъ на њполчeніе и3 пріи1де въ веfсaнъ.

⁴¹

Then Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for the battle, and came to Bethsan.

⁴²

И# ви1дэ трЂфwнъ, ћкw пріи1де їwнаfaнъ съ вHи мн0гими, и3 прострeти нaнь рyку ўбоsсz:

⁴²

Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came with so great a force, he durst not stretch his hand against him;

⁴³

и3 воспріsтъ є3го2 чeстнw, и3 постaви є3го2 пред8 всёми др{ги свои1ми, и3 дадE є3мY дaры, и3 заповёда всBмъ си1ламъ свои6мъ послyшати є3гw2 ћкw себє2.

⁴³

but received him honourably, and commended him unto all his friends, and gave him gifts, and commanded his men of war to be as obedient unto him, as to himself.

⁴⁴

И# речE їwнаfaну: вскyю ўтруди1лъ є3си2 вс‰ лю1ди сі‰, брaни не настоsщей нaмъ;

⁴⁴

Unto Jonathan also he said, Why hast thou put all this people to so great trouble, seeing there is no war betwixt us?

⁴⁵

и3 нн7э tпусти2 и5хъ въ д0мы сво‰, и3збери1 же себЁ мужeй мaлw, и5же бyдутъ съ тоб0ю, и3 пріиди2 со мн0ю во птолемаjду, и3 предaмъ тебЁ ю5 и3 пр0чыz твєрдhни и3 си6лы пр0чыz, и3 всёхъ и5же над8 потрeбами, и3 возврaщьсz tидY: сегH бо рaди пріид0хъ.

⁴⁵

Therefore send them now home again, and choose a few men to wait on thee, and come thou with me to Ptolemais, for I will give it thee, and the rest of the strong holds and forces, and all that have any charge: as for me, I will return and depart: for this is the cause of my coming.

⁴⁶

И# вёровавъ є3мY, сотвори2, ћкоже речE, и3 tпусти2 си6лы, и3 tид0ша въ зeмлю їyдину.

⁴⁶

So Jonathan believing him did as he bade him, and sent away his host, who went into the land of Judea.

⁴⁷

Њстaви же съ соб0ю три2 тhсzщы мужeй, и4хже двЁ тhсzщы њстaви въ галілeи, тhсzща же и3д0ша съ ни1мъ.

⁴⁷

And with himself he retained but three thousand men, of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him.

⁴⁸

Е#гдa же вни1де їwнаfaнъ во птолемаjду, заключи1ша вратA гр†дскаz во птолемаjдэ, и3 ћша є3го2, и3 всёхъ вшeдшихъ съ ни1мъ ўби1ша мечeмъ.

⁴⁸

Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates, and took him, and all them that came with him they slew with the sword.

⁴⁹

И# послA трЂфwнъ вHи и3 к0нники въ галілeю и3 на п0ле вели1кое, є4же погуби1ти всёхъ другHвъ їwнаfaновыхъ.

⁴⁹

Then sent Tryphon an host of footmen and horsemen into Galilee, and into the great plain, to destroy all Jonathan's company.

⁵⁰

И# познaша, ћкw ћтъ бhсть їwнаfaнъ и3 ўбіeнъ и3 вси2 и5же съ ни1мъ, и3 ўвэщaша сaми себE и3 и3д0ша ўгот0вани на брaнь.

⁵⁰

But when they knew that Jonathan and they that were with him were taken and slain, they encouraged one another, and went close together, prepared to fight.

⁵¹

И# ви1дэша гонsщіи, ћкw њ души2 и5мъ є4сть, и3 возврати1шасz.

⁵¹

They therefore that followed upon them, perceiving that they were ready to fight for their lives, turned back again.

⁵²

И# пріид0ша вси2 съ ми1ромъ въ зeмлю їyдину, и3 плaкашасz їwнаfaна и3 сyщихъ съ ни1мъ, и3 ўбоsшасz ѕэлw2, и3 плaкаше вeсь ї}ль плaчемъ вeліимъ.

⁵²

Whereupon they all came into the land of Judea peaceably, and there they bewailed Jonathan, and them that were with him, and they were sore afraid; wherefore all Israel made great lamentation.

⁵³

И# взыскaша вси2 kзhцы, и5же w4крестъ и4хъ, сокруши1ти и5хъ, рёша бо:

⁵³

Then all the heathen that were round about them sought to destroy them: for said they, They have no captain, nor any to help them: now therefore let us make war upon them, and take away their memorial from among men.

⁵⁴

не и3мёютъ начaлника и3 помогaющагw: нн7э u5бо порaтуемъ и5хъ и3 tи1мемъ t челwвёкъ пaмzть и4хъ.
