¹

И҆ воста̀ і҆ꙋ́да нарица́емый маккаве́й сы́нъ є҆гѡ̀ вмѣ́стѡ є҆гѡ̀.

¹

Then his son Judas, called Maccabeus, rose up in his stead.

²

И҆ помога́хꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ всѝ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ всѝ є҆ли́цы прилѣпи́шасѧ ко ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆полча́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆полче́нїемъ і҆и҃ль съ весе́лїемъ.

²

And all his brethren helped him, and so did all they that held with his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.

³

И҆ распространѝ сла́вꙋ лю́демъ свои̑мъ: и҆ ѡ҆блече́сѧ въ бронѧ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆споли́нъ и҆ препоѧ́сасѧ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ свои́мъ бра́ннымъ, и҆ соста́ви ра̑ти, защища́ѧ ѡ҆полчє́нїѧ мече́мъ свои́мъ,

³

So he gat his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike harness about him, and he made battles, protecting the host with his sword.

⁴

и҆ оу҆подо́бисѧ львꙋ̀ въ дѣ́лѣхъ свои́хъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ скѵ́менъ рыка́ющь въ лови́твѣ:

⁴

In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.

⁵

и҆ погна̀ беззакѡ́нныѧ и҆зслѣ́дꙋѧй, и҆ смꙋща́ющихъ лю́ди є҆гѡ̀ пожжѐ пла́менемъ.

⁵

For he pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt up those that vexed his people.

⁶

И҆ слѧко́шасѧ беззако́ннїи ѿ стра́ха є҆гѡ̀, и҆ всѝ дѣ́лателє беззако́нїѧ смѧто́шасѧ, и҆ благопоспѣ́шно бы́ти спасе́нїе рꙋко́ю є҆гѡ̀.

⁶

Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled, because salvation prospered in his hand.

⁷

И҆ ѡ҆горчѝ цари̑ мнѡ́ги и҆ возвеселѝ і҆а́кѡва въ дѣ́лѣхъ свои́хъ, и҆ да́же до вѣ́ка па́мѧть є҆гѡ̀ во благослове́нїе:

⁷

He grieved also many kings, and made Jacob glad with his acts, and his memorial is blessed for ever.

⁸

и҆ про́йде гра́ды і҆ꙋ̑дины, и҆ погꙋбѝ нечести́выхъ ѿ ни́хъ, и҆ ѿвратѝ гнѣ́въ ѿ і҆и҃лѧ,

⁸

Moreover he went through the cities of Juda, destroying the ungodly out of them, and turning away wrath from Israel:

⁹

и҆ и҆мени́тъ бы́сть да́же до послѣ́днихъ землѝ, и҆ собра̀ погиба́ющихъ.

⁹

so that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, and he received unto him such as were ready to perish.

¹⁰

А҆поллѡ́нїй же собра̀ ꙗ҆зы́ки и҆ ѿ самарі́и си́лꙋ ве́лїю, є҆́же ра́товати на і҆и҃лѧ.

¹⁰

Then Apollonius gathered the Gentiles together, and a great host out of Samaria, to fight against Israel.

¹¹

И҆ оу҆вѣ́да і҆ꙋ́да и҆ и҆зы́де во срѣ́тенїе є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ поразѝ є҆го̀ и҆ оу҆бѝ того̀: и҆ падо́ша ꙗ҆́звенїи мно́зи, а҆ про́чїи оу҆бѣго́ша.

¹¹

Which thing when Judas perceived, he went forth to meet him, and so he smote him, and slew him: many also fell down slain, but the rest fled.

¹²

И҆ взѧ̀ коры̑сти и҆́хъ, и҆ ме́чь а҆поллѡ́нїевъ ѿѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́да, и҆ бы́сть вою́ѧ и҆́мъ всѧ̑ дни̑.

¹²

Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apollonius' sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long.

¹³

И҆ оу҆слы́ша сирѡ́нъ нача́лникъ во́євъ сѵ́рскихъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ собра̀ і҆ꙋ́да совокꙋпле́нїе и҆ цр҃ковь вѣ́рныхъ съ ни́мъ и҆сходѧ́щихъ на бра́нь,

¹³

Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Syria, heard say that Judas had gathered unto him a multitude and company of the faithful to go out with him to war;

¹⁴

и҆ речѐ: сотворю̀ себѣ̀ и҆́мѧ, и҆ просла́влюсѧ въ ца́рствїи, и҆ поборю̀ і҆ꙋ́дꙋ и҆ сꙋ́щихъ съ ни́мъ и҆ оу҆ничижа́ющихъ сло́во царе́во.

¹⁴

he said, I will get me a name and honour in the kingdom; for I will go fight with Judas and them that are with him, who despise the king's commandment.

¹⁵

(и҆ оу҆гото́васѧ) и҆ приложѝ є҆́же взы́ти: и҆ взы́де съ ни́мъ по́лкъ нечести́выхъ крѣ́покъ помощѝ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ сотвори́ти ѿмще́нїе на сынѣ́хъ і҆и҃левыхъ.

¹⁵

So he made him ready to go up, and there went with him a mighty host of the ungodly to help him, and to be avenged of the children of Israel.

¹⁶

И҆ прибли́жисѧ да́же до восхо́да веѳѡрѡ́нска: и҆ и҆зы́де і҆ꙋ́да во срѣ́тенїе є҆мꙋ̀ въ ма́лѣ.

¹⁶

And when he came near to the going up of Bethhoron, Judas went forth to meet him with a small company:

¹⁷

Є҆гда́ же оу҆ви́дѣша по́лкъ грѧдꙋ́щїй во срѣ́тенїе и҆̀мъ, рѣ́ша і҆ꙋ́дѣ: ка́кѡ мо́жемъ въ ма́лѣ сꙋ́ще ѡ҆полча́тисѧ проти́вꙋ мно́жества толи́кагѡ крѣ́пкагѡ; и҆ мы̀ оу҆трꙋжде́ни є҆смы̀ посто́мъ дне́сь.

¹⁷

who, when they saw the host coming to meet them, said unto Judas, How shall we be able, being so few, to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, seeing we are ready to faint with fasting all this day?

¹⁸

И҆ речѐ і҆ꙋ́да: оу҆до́бь є҆́сть ѡ҆б̾ѧ́ти мно́гихъ рꙋко́ю ма́лыхъ: и҆ нѣ́сть ра́знствїѧ пред̾ бг҃омъ нбⷭ҇нымъ спⷭ҇тѝ во мно́гихъ и҆лѝ въ ма́лыхъ:

¹⁸

Unto whom Judas answered, It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the God of heaven it is all one, to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company;

¹⁹

ꙗ҆́кѡ не во мно́жествѣ во́євъ ѡ҆долѣ́нїе бра́ни є҆́сть, то́кмѡ ѿ нб҃сѐ крѣ́пость:

¹⁹

for the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of an host; but strength cometh from heaven.

²⁰

сі́и грѧдꙋ́тъ къ на́мъ во мно́жествѣ оу҆кори́зны и҆ беззако́нїѧ, є҆́же и҆сто́ргнꙋти на́съ и҆ жєны̀ на́шѧ и҆ ча̑да на̑ша, є҆́же взѧ́ти коры̑сти на́шѧ,

²⁰

They come against us in much pride and iniquity to destroy us, and our wives and children, and to spoil us:

²¹

мы́ же ѡ҆полча́емсѧ за дꙋ́шы на́шѧ и҆ зако́ны на́шѧ:

²¹

but we fight for our lives and our laws.

²²

и҆ са́мъ гдⷭ҇ь сокрꙋши́тъ и҆̀хъ пред̾ лице́мъ на́шимъ, вы́ же не оу҆страши́тесѧ и҆́хъ.

²²

Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face: and as for you, be ye not afraid of them.

²³

Ꙗ҆́коже преста̀ глаго́лати, и҆ наскочѝ на ни́хъ внеза́пꙋ, и҆ сотре́сѧ сирѡ́нъ и҆ вѡ́и є҆гѡ̀ пред̾ ни́мъ:

²³

Now as soon as he had left off speaking, he leaped suddenly upon them, and so Seron and his host were overthrown before him.

²⁴

и҆ погна̀ є҆го̀ въ низхожде́нїе веѳѡрѡ́на да́же до по́лѧ: и҆ падо́ша ѿ ни́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́смь сѡ́тъ мꙋже́й, про́чїи же побѣго́ша въ зе́млю фѷлїсті́млю.

²⁴

And they pursued them from the going down of Bethhoron unto the plain, where were slain about eight hundred men of them; and the residue fled into the land of the Philistines.

²⁵

И҆ нападѐ стра́хъ і҆ꙋ́динъ и҆ бра́тїи є҆гѡ̀ и҆ боѧ́знь на всѧ̑ ꙗ҆зы́ки, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆́крестъ и҆́хъ.

²⁵

Then began the fear of Judas and his brethren, and exceeding great dread, to fall upon the nations round about them:

²⁶

И҆ до́йде до царѧ̀ и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆ ѡ҆полче́нїихъ і҆ꙋ́диныхъ повѣ́дахꙋ всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы.

²⁶

insomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all nations talked of the battles of Judas.

²⁷

Є҆гда́ же оу҆слы́ша ца́рь а҆нтїо́хъ словеса̀ сїѧ̑, разгнѣ́васѧ ꙗ҆́ростїю, и҆ посла́въ собра̀ си̑лы всѧ̑ ца́рства своегѡ̀, по́лкъ крѣ́покъ ѕѣлѡ̀:

²⁷

Now when king Antiochus heard these things, he was full of indignation: wherefore he sent and gathered together all the forces of his realm, even a very strong army.

²⁸

и҆ ѿве́рзе сокро́вище своѐ, и҆ дадѐ ѡ҆бро́ки во́инѡмъ свои̑мъ на лѣ́то, и҆ заповѣ́да и҆̀мъ въ лѣ́то бы́ти готѡ́вымъ на всѧ́кꙋ потре́бꙋ.

²⁸

He opened also his treasure, and gave his soldiers pay for a year, commanding them to be ready whensoever he should need them.

²⁹

И҆ ви́дѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ̀ сребро̀ ѿ сокро́вищъ, и҆ да̑ни ѿ стра́нъ ма̑лы, ра́ди несогла́сїѧ и҆ ꙗ҆́звы, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ на землѝ, да во́зметъ закѡ́ннаѧ, ꙗ҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ ѿ пе́рвыхъ дні́й.

²⁹

Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his treasures failed, and that the tributes in the country were small, because of the dissension and plague, which he had brought upon the land in taking away the laws which had been of old time;

³⁰

И҆ оу҆страши́сѧ, да не вознеимѣ́етъ є҆ди́ною и҆ два́жды въ росхо́ды и҆ даѧ̑нїѧ, ꙗ҆̀же даѧ́ше пре́жде простра́нною рꙋко́ю, и҆ и҆збы́точествова па́че царе́й бы́вшихъ пре́жде.

³⁰

he feared that he should not be able to bear the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did before: for he had abounded above the kings that were before him.

³¹

И҆ смѧте́сѧ дꙋше́ю свое́ю ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ оу҆мы́сли и҆тѝ въ персі́дꙋ и҆ прїѧ́ти да̑ни ѿ стра́нъ и҆ собра́ти сребра̀ мно́гѡ.

³¹

Wherefore, being greatly perplexed in his mind, he determined to go into Persia, there to take the tributes of the countries, and to gather much money.

³²

И҆ ѡ҆ста́ви лѷсі́ю человѣ́ка сла́вна и҆ ѿ ро́да ца́рска над̾ вещьмѝ ца́рскими, ѿ рѣкѝ є҆ѵфра́та да́же до предѣ̑лъ є҆гѵ́петскихъ:

³²

So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the blood royal, to oversee the affairs of the king from the river Euphrates unto the borders of Egypt:

³³

и҆ пита́ти а҆нтїо́ха сы́на своего̀, до́ндеже возврати́тсѧ са́мъ.

³³

and to bring up his son Antiochus, until he came again.

³⁴

И҆ предадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ по́лъ си́лы и҆ слонѡ́въ и҆ заповѣ́да є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ, и҆́хже совѣща̀, и҆ ѡ҆ ѡ҆бита́ющихъ во і҆ꙋде́и и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ,

³⁴

Moreover he delivered unto him the half of his forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all things that he would have done, as also concerning them that dwelt in Juda and Jerusalem;

³⁵

посла́ти на ни́хъ си́лꙋ, є҆́же сокрꙋши́ти и҆ и҆сто́ргнꙋти крѣ́пость і҆и҃левꙋ и҆ ѡ҆ста́нокъ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, и҆ ѿѧ́ти па́мѧть и҆́хъ ѿ мѣ́ста,

³⁵

to wit, that he should send an army against them, to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away their memorial from that place;

³⁶

и҆ всели́ти сынѡ́въ и҆норо́дныхъ во всѣ́хъ предѣ́лѣхъ и҆́хъ, и҆ по жре́бїю раздѣли́ти зе́млю и҆́хъ.

³⁶

and that he should place strangers in all their quarters, and divide their land by lot.

³⁷

И҆ ца́рь взѧ̀ по́лъ си́лы ѡ҆ста́вшихъ и҆ и҆зы́де ѿ а҆нтїохі́и ѿ гра́да ца́рства своегѡ̀, лѣ́та сто̀ четы́редесѧть седма́гѡ: и҆ пре́йде є҆ѵфра́тъ рѣкꙋ̀ и҆ прохожда́ше въ вы̑шнїѧ страны̑.

³⁷

So the king took the half of the forces that remained, and departed from Antioch, his royal city, the hundred forty and seventh year; and he passed the river Euphrates, and went through the high countries.

³⁸

И҆ и҆збра̀ лѷсі́а птоломе́а сы́на дорѷме́нова, и҆ нїкано́ра, и҆ горгі́ю мꙋ́жы си̑льныѧ ѿ дрꙋгѡ́въ царе́выхъ.

³⁸

Then Lysias chose Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes, and Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king's friends:

³⁹

И҆ посла̀ съ ни́ми четы́редесѧть ты́сѧщъ мꙋже́й и҆ се́дмь ты́сѧщъ ко́нникѡвъ, є҆́же и҆тѝ въ зе́млю і҆ꙋ́динꙋ и҆ растли́ти ю҆̀ по словесѝ ца́рскꙋ.

³⁹

and with them he sent forty thousand footmen, and seven thousand horsemen, to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy it, as the king commanded.

⁴⁰

И҆ ѿидо́ша со все́ю си́лою свое́ю, и҆ прїидо́ша, и҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ бли́з̾ а҆ммаꙋ́ма на землѝ полево́й.

⁴⁰

So they went forth with all their power, and came and pitched by Emmaus in the plain country.

⁴¹

И҆ слы́шаша кꙋпцы̀ страны̀ тоѧ̀ и҆́мѧ и҆́хъ, и҆ взѧ́ша сребро̀ и҆ зла́то мно́го ѕѣлѡ̀ и҆ ѻ҆́троки: и҆ прїидо́ша въ станы̀, да во́змꙋтъ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ въ рабы̑, и҆ приложи́шасѧ къ ни̑мъ вѡ́и сѵ́рскїѧ и҆ землѝ и҆ноплеме́нникѡвъ.

⁴¹

And the merchants of the country, hearing the fame of them, took silver and gold very much, with servants, and came into the camp to buy the children of Israel for slaves: a power also of Syria and of the land of the Philistines joined themselves unto them.

⁴²

И҆ ви́дѣ і҆ꙋ́да и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆мно́жишасѧ ѕла̑ѧ, и҆ вѡ́и ѡ҆полча́хꙋсѧ въ предѣ́лѣхъ и҆́хъ: и҆ позна́ша словеса̀ царє́ва, ꙗ҆̀же повелѣ̀ лю́демъ сотвори́ти въ погꙋбле́нїе и҆ сконча́нїе.

⁴²

Now when Judas and his brethren saw that miseries were multiplied, and that the forces did encamp themselves in their borders; for they knew how the king had given commandment to destroy the people, and utterly abolish them;

⁴³

И҆ речѐ кі́йждо ко и҆́скреннемꙋ своемꙋ̀: воста́немъ за и҆стребле́нїе люді́й на́шихъ и҆ ѡ҆полчи́мсѧ за лю́ди на́шѧ и҆ ст҃ы̑ѧ.

⁴³

they said one to another, Let us restore the decayed estate of our people, and let us fight for our people and the sanctuary.

⁴⁴

И҆ собра́сѧ со́нмъ є҆́же бы́ти готѡ́вымъ на бра́нь и҆ є҆́же моли́тисѧ и҆ проси́ти ми́лости и҆ щедро́тъ.

⁴⁴

Then the congregation gathered together, that they might be ready for battle, and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion.

⁴⁵

И҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ бѣ̀ неѡбита́емь а҆́ки пꙋсты́нѧ: не бѣ̀ входѧ́й и҆ и҆сходѧ́й ѿ порожде́нїй є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ст҃ы́нѧ попра́на, и҆ сы́нове и҆норо́дныхъ въ краегра́дїи, бы́сть ѡ҆бита́лище ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ: и҆ взѧ́сѧ весе́лїе ѿ і҆а́кѡва, и҆ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ̀ (тꙋ̀) сопѣ́ль и҆ гꙋ́сли.

⁴⁵

Now Jerusalem was laid void as a wilderness, there was none of her children that went in or out: the sanctuary also was trodden down, and aliens kept the strong hold; the heathen had their habitation in that place; and joy was taken from Jacob, and the pipe with the harp ceased.

⁴⁶

И҆ собра́шасѧ и҆ прїидо́ша въ массифꙋ̀ прѧ́мѡ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мꙋ, поне́же мѣ́сто моли́твы въ массифѣ̀ пе́рвѣе і҆и҃лю.

⁴⁶

Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselves together, and came to Maspha, over against Jerusalem; for in Maspha was the place where they prayed aforetime in Israel.

⁴⁷

И҆ пости́шасѧ тогѡ̀ днѐ, и҆ ѡ҆блеко́шасѧ во врє́тища, и҆ пе́пелъ посы́паша на главы̑ своѧ̑, и҆ растерза́ша ѡ҆дѣѧ̑нїѧ своѧ̑,

⁴⁷

Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, and cast ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes,

⁴⁸

и҆ распростро́ша кни́гꙋ зако́на, ѡ҆ ни́хже и҆спыта́хꙋ ꙗ҆зы́цы написа́ти на ни́хъ подѡ́бїѧ і҆́дѡлъ свои́хъ,

⁴⁸

and laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images.

⁴⁹

и҆ принесо́ша ри̑зы свѧти́тєлскїѧ и҆ перворѡ́днаѧ и҆ десѧти̑ны: и҆ воздви́гнꙋша назїре́євъ, и҆̀же напо́лниша дни̑,

⁴⁹

They brought also the priest's garments, and the firstfruits, and the tithes: and the Nazarites they stirred up, who had accomplished their days.

⁵⁰

и҆ возопи́ша гла́сомъ (ве́лїимъ) на нб҃о, рекꙋ́ще: что̀ сотвори́мъ си̑мъ и҆ ка́мѡ и҆̀хъ ѿведе́мъ;

⁵⁰

Then cried they with a loud voice toward heaven, saying, What shall we do with these, and whither shall we carry them away?

⁵¹

и҆ ст҃а̑ѧ твоѧ̑ попра́шасѧ и҆ ѡ҆скверни́шасѧ, и҆ свѧще́нницы твоѝ въ ско́рби и҆ въ смире́нїи:

⁵¹

For thy sanctuary is trodden down and profaned, and thy priests are in heaviness, and brought low.

⁵²

и҆ сѐ, ꙗ҆зы́цы собра́шасѧ на ны̀, да расто́ргнꙋтъ на́съ: ты̀ вѣ́си, ꙗ҆̀же помышлѧ́ютъ на на́съ:

⁵²

And, lo, the heathen are assembled together against us to destroy us: what things they imagine against us, thou knowest.

⁵³

ка́кѡ возмо́жемъ ста́ти пред̾ лице́мъ и҆́хъ, а҆́ще не ты̀ помо́жеши на́мъ;

⁵³

How shall we be able to stand against them, except thou, O God, be our help?

⁵⁴

И҆ вострꙋби́ша трꙋба́ми и҆ возопи́ша гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ.

⁵⁴

Then sounded they with trumpets, and cried with a loud voice.

⁵⁵

И҆ посе́мъ поста́ви і҆ꙋ́да воевѡ́ды люді́й, ты́сѧщники и҆ со́тники, и҆ пѧтьдесѧ́тники и҆ десѧтонача́лники.

⁵⁵

And after this Judas ordained captains over the people, even captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens.

⁵⁶

И҆ реко́ша созида́ющымъ до́мы и҆ ѡ҆брꙋча́ющымъ жєны̀, и҆ насажда́ющымъ вїногра́ды и҆ боѧзли̑вымъ возврати́тисѧ комꙋ́ждо въ до́мъ сво́й по зако́нꙋ.

⁵⁶

But as for such as were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, those he commanded that they should return, every man to his own house, according to the law.

⁵⁷

И҆ воздви́жесѧ по́лкъ и҆ ѡ҆полчи́сѧ на ю҆́гъ а҆ммаꙋ́ма.

⁵⁷

So the camp removed, and pitched upon the south side of Emmaus.

⁵⁸

И҆ речѐ і҆ꙋ́да: препоѧ́шитесѧ, и҆ бꙋ́дите въ сы́ны си̑льны, и҆ бꙋ́дите гото́ви въ заꙋ́трїе ѡ҆полчи́тисѧ на ꙗ҆зы́ки сїѧ̑, и҆̀же собра́шасѧ на ны̀ растерза́ти на́съ и҆ ст҃а̑ѧ на̑ша:

⁵⁸

And Judas said, Arm yourselves, and be valiant men, and see that ye be in readiness against the morning, that ye may fight with these nations, that are assembled together against us to destroy us and our sanctuary:

⁵⁹

ꙗ҆́кѡ лꙋ́чше є҆́сть на́мъ оу҆мре́ти въ бра́ни, не́же ви́дѣти ѕла̑ѧ люді́й на́шихъ и҆ ст҃ы́хъ:

⁵⁹

for it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the calamities of our people and our sanctuary.

⁶⁰

и҆ ꙗ҆́коже во́лѧ бꙋ́детъ на нб҃сѝ, та́кѡ сотвори́тъ.

⁶⁰

Nevertheless, as the will of God is in heaven, so let him do.
