¹

И҆ ца́рь а҆нтїо́хъ прохожда́ше вы̑шнїѧ страны̑ и҆ слы́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆́сть є҆лѷмаі́съ въ персі́дѣ гра́дъ сла́венъ бога́тствомъ, сребро́мъ и҆ зла́томъ,

¹

About that time king Antiochus travelling through the high countries heard say, that Elymais in the country of Persia was a city greatly renowned for riches, silver, and gold;

²

и҆ хра́мъ въ не́мъ бога́тъ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ тꙋ̀ запѡ́ны зла̑ты, и҆ брѡнѧ̀ и҆ ѻ҆рꙋ̑жїѧ, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ста́ви тꙋ̀ а҆леѯа́ндръ сы́нъ фїлі́пповъ, ца́рь македѡ́нскїй, и҆́же ца́рствова пе́рвый во є҆́ллинѣхъ.

²

and that there was in it a very rich temple, wherein were coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields, which Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian king, who reigned first among the Grecians, had left there:

³

И҆ прїи́де и҆ и҆ска́ше взѧ́ти гра́дъ и҆ плѣни́ти є҆го̀, и҆ не возмо́же, ꙗ҆́кѡ позна́сѧ сло́во сꙋ́щымъ во гра́дѣ.

³

wherefore he came and sought to take the city, and to spoil it; but he was not able, because they of the city, having had warning thereof,

⁴

И҆ воста́ша проти́вꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ на бра́нь, и҆ побѣжѐ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ, и҆ и҆́де со ско́рбїю ве́лїею, и҆ возврати́сѧ въ вавѷлѡ́нъ.

⁴

rose up against him in battle: so he fled, and departed thence with great heaviness, and returned to Babylon.

⁵

И҆ прїи́де возвѣща́ѧй є҆мꙋ̀ нѣ́кто въ персі́дꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿбѣго́ша полцы̀ ходи́вшїи во і҆ꙋде́ю.

⁵

Moreover there came one who brought him tidings into Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of Judea, were put to flight:

⁶

И҆ ходѝ лѷсі́а съ си́лою крѣ́пкою въ пе́рвыхъ, и҆ прогна́нъ бы́сть ѿ лица̀ и҆́хъ, и҆ возмого́ша ѻ҆рꙋ́жїѧми и҆ си́лами и҆ коры́стьми мно́гими, ꙗ҆̀же взѧ́ша ѿ полкѡ́въ, и҆̀хже и҆зби́ша.

⁶

and that Lysias, who went forth first with a great power, was driven away of the Jews; and that they were made strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils, which they had gotten of the armies, whom they had destroyed:

⁷

И҆ разори́ша ме́рзость, ю҆́же созда̀ на ѻ҆лтарѝ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ ст҃ы́ню, ꙗ҆́коже пре́жде ѡ҆крꙋжи́ша стѣна́ми высо́кими, и҆ веѳсꙋ́рꙋ гра́дъ є҆гѡ̀.

⁷

also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his city Bethsura.

⁸

И҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆слы́ша ца́рь словеса̀ сїѧ̑, оу҆страши́сѧ и҆ смꙋти́сѧ ѕѣлѡ̀: и҆ падѐ на ло́же и҆ впадѐ въ недꙋ́гъ ѿ печа́ли, поне́же не сбы́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́коже помышлѧ́ше.

⁸

Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for.

⁹

И҆ бѣ̀ тꙋ̀ дни̑ мнѡ́ги, поне́же ѡ҆бнови́сѧ на не́мъ печа́ль вели́ка, и҆ мнѧ́ше, ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆́мретъ.

⁹

And there he continued many days: for his grief was ever more and more, and he made account that he should die.

¹⁰

И҆ созва̀ всѧ̑ дрꙋ́ги своѧ̑ и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: ѿи́де со́нъ ѿ ѻ҆́чїю моє́ю, и҆ и҆спадо́хъ се́рдцемъ ѿ печа́ли,

¹⁰

Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto them, The sleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart faileth for very care.

¹¹

и҆ рѣ́хъ въ се́рдцы мое́мъ: до коли́кїѧ ско́рби доидо́хъ и҆ волны̀ ве́лїѧ, въ не́йже нн҃ѣ є҆́смь; ꙗ҆́кѡ бла́гъ и҆ люби́мь бы́хъ во вла́сти мое́й:

¹¹

And I thought with myself, Into what tribulation am I come, and how great a flood of misery is it wherein now I am! for I was bountiful and beloved in my power.

¹²

нн҃ѣ же помина́ю ѕла̑ѧ, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́хъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ взѧ́хъ всѧ̑ сосꙋ́ды зла̑ты и҆ срє́брѧны въ не́мъ, и҆ посла́хъ и҆з̾ѧ́ти ѡ҆бита́ющихъ во і҆ꙋде́и вотщѐ:

¹²

But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of gold and silver that were therein, and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea without a cause.

¹³

позна́хъ оу҆̀бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ си́хъ ра́ди ѡ҆брѣто́ша мѧ̀ ѕла̑ѧ сїѧ̑: и҆ сѐ, ги́бнꙋ ско́рбїю ве́лїею въ землѝ чꙋжде́й.

¹³

I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.

¹⁴

И҆ призва̀ фїлі́ппа є҆ди́наго ѿ дрꙋгѡ́въ свои́хъ, и҆ поста́ви є҆го̀ над̾ всѣ́мъ ца́рствомъ свои́мъ,

¹⁴

Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, whom he made ruler over all his realm.

¹⁵

и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ дїади́мꙋ и҆ ри́зꙋ свою̀ и҆ пе́рстень, є҆́же води́ти а҆нтїо́ха сы́на є҆гѡ̀ и҆ воспита́ти є҆го̀ є҆́же ца́рствовати.

¹⁵

And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his signet, to the end he should bring up his son Antiochus, and nourish him up for the kingdom.

¹⁶

И҆ оу҆́мре та́мѡ а҆нтїо́хъ ца́рь въ лѣ́то сто̀ четы́редесѧть девѧ́тое.

¹⁶

So king Antiochus died there in the hundred forty and ninth year.

¹⁷

И҆ позна̀ лѷсі́а, ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆́мре ца́рь. и҆ поста́ви ца́рствовати а҆нтїо́ха сы́на є҆гѡ̀ вмѣ́стѡ є҆гѡ̀, є҆го́же воспита̀ ю҆́ношꙋ, и҆ наречѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆ѵпа́тѡръ.

¹⁷

Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up being young, to reign in his stead, and his name he called Eupator.

¹⁸

И҆ сꙋ́щїи во краегра́дїи заключи́ша і҆и҃лѧ ѡ҆́крестъ ст҃ы́хъ и҆ и҆ска́хꙋ и҆̀мъ ѕла̑ѧ всегда̀ и҆ оу҆твержде́нїе ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ.

¹⁸

About this time they that were in the tower shut up the Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen.

¹⁹

И҆ оу҆мы́сли і҆ꙋ́да и҆згна́ти и҆̀хъ: и҆ созва̀ всѧ̑ лю́ди, да ѡ҆бстоѧ́тъ и҆̀хъ.

¹⁹

Wherefore Judas, purposing to destroy them, called all the people together to besiege them.

²⁰

И҆ собра́шасѧ вкꙋ́пѣ и҆ ѡ҆бсѣдо́ша и҆̀хъ въ лѣ́то сто̀ пѧтьдесѧ́тое, и҆ сотворѝ на ни́хъ стрѣлостоѧ́тєлницы и҆ миха̑ны.

²⁰

So they came together, and besieged them in the hundred and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for shot against them, and other engines.

²¹

И҆ и҆зыдо́ша ѿ ни́хъ и҆з̾ заключе́нїѧ, и҆ прилѣпи́шасѧ тѣ̑мъ нѣ́цыи нечести́вїи ѿ і҆и҃лѧ,

²¹

Howbeit certain of them that were besieged got forth, unto whom some ungodly men of Israel joined themselves:

²²

и҆ и҆до́ша ко царю̀ и҆ рѣ́ша: доко́лѣ не сотвори́ши сꙋда̀ и҆ ѿмсти́ши бра́тїю на́шꙋ;

²²

and they went unto the king, and said, How long will it be ere thou execute judgment, and avenge our brethren?

²³

мы̀ благоволи́мъ слꙋжи́ти ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀ и҆ ходи́ти въ за́повѣдехъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ послѣ́довати повелѣ́нїємъ є҆гѡ̀:

²³

We have been willing to serve thy father, and to do as he would have us, and to obey his commandments;

²⁴

и҆ ѡ҆блеже́ни сꙋ́ть во краегра́дїи сы́нове люді́й на́шихъ, сегѡ̀ ра́ди и҆ ѿчꙋжда́ютсѧ ѿ на́съ: и҆ є҆ли́цы ѡ҆брѣта́хꙋсѧ ѿ на́съ, погꙋблѧ́хꙋсѧ, и҆ наслѣ̑дїѧ на̑ша расхища́єма бѧ́хꙋ:

²⁴

for which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and are alienated from us: moreover as many of us as they could light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance.

²⁵

и҆ не на на́съ то́кмѡ простро́ша рꙋ́кꙋ, но и҆ на всѧ̑ предѣ́лы на́шѧ:

²⁵

Neither have they stretched out their hand against us only, but also against all their borders.

²⁶

и҆ сѐ, ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ дне́сь на краегра́дїе во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, є҆́же взѧ́ти є҆го̀ и҆ ст҃ы́ню, и҆ веѳсꙋ́рꙋ оу҆тверди́ша:

²⁶

And, behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Jerusalem, to take it: the sanctuary also and Bethsura have they fortified.

²⁷

и҆ а҆́ще не предвари́ши и҆̀хъ скорѣ́е, бѡ́лшаѧ си́хъ сотворѧ́тъ, и҆ не возмо́жеши оу҆держа́ти и҆̀хъ.

²⁷

Wherefore if thou dost not prevent them quickly, they will do greater things than these, neither shalt thou be able to rule them.

²⁸

И҆ прогнѣ́васѧ ца́рь, є҆гда̀ оу҆слы́ша, и҆ собра̀ всѧ̑ дрꙋ́ги своѧ̑ и҆ нача́лники си́лы своеѧ̀ и҆ и҆̀же над̾ кѡ́нники:

²⁸

Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the horse.

²⁹

и҆ ѿ ца́рствъ и҆ны́хъ и҆ ѿ ѻ҆стровѡ́въ морски́хъ прїидо́ша къ немꙋ̀ си̑лы нає́мницы:

²⁹

There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and from isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers.

³⁰

и҆ бы́сть число̀ си́лъ є҆гѡ̀ сто̀ ты́сѧщъ пѣшцє́въ и҆ два́десѧть ты́сѧщъ ко́нникѡвъ, и҆ слонѡ́въ три́десѧть два̀ вѣ́дѧщихъ бра́нь.

³⁰

So that the number of his army was an hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and two and thirty elephants exercised in battle.

³¹

И҆ прїидо́ша сквозѣ̀ і҆дꙋме́ю и҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ въ веѳсꙋ́рѣ, и҆ ра́товахꙋ дни̑ мнѡ́ги и҆ сотвори́ша миха̑ны: и҆ и҆зыдо́ша и҆ пожго́ша и҆̀хъ ѻ҆гне́мъ и҆ би́шасѧ мꙋ́жественнѣ.

³¹

These went through Idumea, and pitched against Bethsura, which they assaulted many days, making engines; but they of Bethsura came out, and burned them with fire, and fought valiantly.

³²

И҆ ѿи́де і҆ꙋ́да ѿ краегра́дїѧ и҆ ѡ҆полчи́сѧ въ веѳсаха́рїи проти́вꙋ полка̀ царе́ва.

³²

Upon this Judas removed from the tower, and pitched in Bethzacharias, over against the king's camp.

³³

И҆ воста̀ ца́рь ѕѣлѡ̀ ра́нѡ и҆ воздви́же ѡ҆полче́нїе во оу҆стремле́нїи є҆гѡ̀ по пꙋтѝ веѳсаха́рїи: и҆ оу҆стро́ишасѧ си̑лы на бра́нь, и҆ вострꙋби́ша трꙋба́ми,

³³

Then the king rising very early marched fiercely with his host toward Bethzacharias, where his armies made them ready to battle, and sounded the trumpets.

³⁴

и҆ слонѡ́мъ показа́ша кро́вь гро́здовꙋ и҆ ꙗ҆́гѡды, є҆́же поѡстри́ти и҆̀хъ на бра́нь:

³⁴

And to the end they might provoke the elephants to fight, they shewed them the blood of grapes and mulberries.

³⁵

и҆ разлꙋчи́ша ѕвѣре́й на полкѝ и҆ приста́виша коемꙋ́ждо слонꙋ̀ ты́сѧщꙋ мꙋже́й ѡ҆блече́нныхъ въ брѡнѧ̀ желѣ́зомъ соплетє́ны, и҆ шле́мы мѣ́дѧни на глава́хъ и҆́хъ, и҆ пѧ́ть сѡ́тъ ко́нникѡвъ вчине́ныхъ коемꙋ́ждо ѕвѣ́рю и҆збра́нныхъ.

³⁵

Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads; and beside this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horsemen of the best.

³⁶

Сїѧ̑ бѣ́ша пре́жде вре́мене, и҆дѣ́же а҆́ще бѣ̀ ѕвѣ́рь: и҆ и҆дѣ́же а҆́ще и҆дѧ́ше, и҆дѧ́хꙋ вкꙋ́пѣ и҆ не ѿстꙋпа́хꙋ ѿ негѡ̀.

³⁶

These were ready at every occasion: wheresoever the beast was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went also, neither departed they from him.

³⁷

И҆ пѵ́рги древѧ́ни на ни́хъ крѣ́пцы защища́ющїи на ко́емждо ѕвѣ́ри, препоѧ́сани на не́мъ миха́нами, и҆ на ко́емждо мꙋже́й си́лы три́десѧть два̀ вою́ющихъ на ни́хъ, и҆ і҆нді́анинъ оу҆прави́тель є҆гѡ̀.

³⁷

And upon the beasts were there strong towers of wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt fast unto them with devices: there were also upon every one two and thirty strong men, that fought upon them, beside the Indian that ruled him.

³⁸

И҆ про́чыѧ ко́нники сю́дꙋ и҆ сю́дꙋ поста́виша на двѣ̀ ча̑сти полка̀, побꙋжда́юще и҆ загражда́юще въ де́брехъ.

³⁸

As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host, giving them signs what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks.

³⁹

Є҆гда́ же возсїѧ̀ со́лнце на щиты̀ златы̑ѧ и҆ мѣ̑дѧныѧ, ѡ҆бсїѧ́ша го́ры ѿ ни́хъ и҆ ѡ҆блиста́ша ꙗ҆́кѡ лампа̑ды ѻ҆́гнєнныѧ.

³⁹

Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold and brass, the mountains glistered therewith, and shined like lamps of fire.

⁴⁰

И҆ ѿлꙋчи́сѧ ча́сть нѣ́каѧ ѿ полка̀ царе́ва на го́ры высѡ́ки, и҆ нѣ́цыи на ни̑жшаѧ, и҆ и҆дѧ́хꙋ крѣ́пцѣ и҆ чи́ннѡ.

⁴⁰

So part of the king's army being spread upon the high mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on safely and in order.

⁴¹

И҆ поколеба́шасѧ всѝ слы́шащїи гла́съ мно́жества и҆́хъ, и҆ пꙋтьше́ствїѧ мно́гихъ, и҆ сраже́нїѧ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїй: бѣ́ бо ѡ҆полче́нїе вели́ко ѕѣлѡ̀ и҆ крѣ́пко.

⁴¹

Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the harness, were moved: for the army was very great and mighty.

⁴²

И҆ прибли́жисѧ і҆ꙋ́да и҆ по́лкъ є҆гѡ̀ на бра́нь, и҆ падо́ша ѿ полка̀ царе́ва ше́сть сѡ́тъ мꙋже́й.

⁴²

Then Judas and his host drew near, and entered into battle, and there were slain of the king's army six hundred men.

⁴³

И҆ оу҆ви́дѣ є҆леаза́ръ сы́нъ савара́нь є҆ди́наго ѿ ѕвѣре́й ѡ҆блече́на въ броню̀ ца́рскꙋ, и҆ бѧ́ше вы́ше про́чїихъ ѕвѣре́й, и҆ возмнѣ́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ на не́мъ є҆́сть ца́рь:

⁴³

Eleazar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving that one of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all the rest, and supposing that the king was upon him,

⁴⁴

и҆ вдаде́сѧ са́мъ є҆́же и҆зба́вити лю́ди своѧ̑ и҆ сотвори́ти себѣ̀ и҆́мѧ вѣ́чное,

⁴⁴

put himself in jeopardy, to the end he might deliver his people, and get him a perpetual name:

⁴⁵

и҆ течѐ къ немꙋ̀ съ де́рзостїю въ среди́нꙋ полка̀, и҆ побива́ше ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю и҆ ѡ҆шꙋ́юю, и҆ раздѣлѧ́хꙋсѧ ѿ негѡ̀ сю́дꙋ и҆ сю́дꙋ:

⁴⁵

wherefore he ran upon him courageously through the midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, so that they were divided from him on both sides.

⁴⁶

и҆ вни́де под̾ слона̀, и҆ подложи́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ оу҆бѝ є҆го̀, и҆ падѐ на зе́млю верхꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ оу҆́мре тꙋ̀.

⁴⁶

Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust him under, and slew him: whereupon the elephant fell down upon him, and there he died.

⁴⁷

И҆ ви́дѣша си́лꙋ ца́рства и҆ оу҆стремле́нїе во́євъ, и҆ оу҆клони́шасѧ ѿ ни́хъ.

⁴⁷

Howbeit the rest of the Jews seeing the strength of the king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them.

⁴⁸

Сꙋ́щїи же ѿ полка̀ царе́ва взыдо́ша проти́вꙋ и҆́хъ на і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ: и҆ ѡ҆полчи́сѧ ца́рь на і҆ꙋде́ю и҆ на го́рꙋ сїѡ́нъ.

⁴⁸

Then the king's army went up to Jerusalem to meet them, and the king pitched his tents against Judea, and against mount Sion.

⁴⁹

И҆ сотворѝ ми́ръ съ сꙋ́щими въ веѳсꙋ́рѣхъ: и҆ и҆зыдо́ша и҆з̾ гра́да, ꙗ҆́кѡ не бѣ̀ и҆̀мъ та́мѡ пи́щи, є҆́же затвори́тисѧ въ не́мъ, поне́же сꙋббѡ́та бѧ́ше землѝ.

⁴⁹

But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace: for they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land.

⁵⁰

И҆ взѧ̀ ца́рь веѳсꙋ́рꙋ и҆ поста́ви тꙋ̀ стра́жꙋ храни́ти ю҆̀.

⁵⁰

So the king took Bethsura, and set a garrison there to keep it.

⁵¹

И҆ ѡ҆полчи́сѧ на мѣ́сто ст҃ы́ни дни̑ мнѡ́ги, и҆ поста́ви тꙋ̀ стрѣлостоѧ́тєлницы и҆ миха̑ны, и҆ ѻ҆гнемє́тницы и҆ каменомє́тницы и҆ скорпїѡ́ны, є҆́же бы мета́ти стрѣ́лы и҆ пра́щы.

⁵¹

As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days: and set there artillery with engines and instruments to cast fire and stones, and pieces to cast darts and slings.

⁵²

Сотвори́ша же и҆ ті́и миха̑ны проти́вꙋ миха́нъ и҆́хъ, и҆ бра́шасѧ дни̑ мнѡ́ги.

⁵²

Whereupon they also made engines against their engines, and held them battle a long season.

⁵³

Пи́ща же не бѧ́ше во гра́дѣ, зане́же седмо́е лѣ́то бѣ̀, и҆ и҆збѣжа́вшїи во і҆ꙋде́ю ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ поѧдо́ша ѡ҆ста́нокъ сокрове́нїѧ.

⁵³

Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea, that were delivered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue of the store;)

⁵⁴

И҆ ѡ҆ста́шасѧ во свѧти́лищи мꙋже́й ма́лѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆б̾ѧ́тъ и҆̀хъ гла́дъ, и҆ расточе́ни бы́ша кі́йждо въ мѣ́сто своѐ.

⁵⁴

there were but a few left in the sanctuary, because the famine did so prevail against them, that they were fain to disperse themselves, every man to his own place.

⁵⁵

И҆ слы́ша лѷсі́а, ꙗ҆́кѡ фїли́ппъ, є҆го́же поста́ви ца́рь а҆нтїо́хъ, є҆щѐ жи́въ сы́й, да воспита́етъ а҆нтїо́ха сы́на є҆гѡ̀, во є҆́же ца́рствовати є҆мꙋ̀,

⁵⁵

At that time Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom Antiochus the king, whiles he lived, had appointed to bring up his son Antiochus, that he might be king,

⁵⁶

возврати́сѧ ѿ персі́ды и҆ миді́и, и҆ вѡ́и ца́рстїи ходи́вшїи съ ни́мъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́щетъ прїѧ́ти ве́щы:

⁵⁶

was returned out of Persia and Media, and the king's host also that went with him, and that he sought to take unto him the ruling of affairs.

⁵⁷

и҆ потща́сѧ поитѝ ѿ краегра́дїѧ и҆ глаго́лати ко царю̀ и҆ воево́дамъ си́лы и҆ къ мꙋжє́мъ: ѡ҆скꙋдѣва́емъ на всѧ́къ де́нь, и҆ пи́ща на́мъ ма́ла (є҆́сть), и҆ мѣ́сто, є҆́же ѡ҆бстои́мъ, оу҆твержде́но, и҆ надлежи́тъ на́мъ (стро́ити) ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ ца́рствѣ:

⁵⁷

Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king and the captains of the host and the company, We decay daily, and our victuals are but small, and the place we lay siege unto is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us:

⁵⁸

нн҃ѣ оу҆̀бо дади́мъ десни́цꙋ человѣ́кѡмъ тѣ̑мъ и҆ сотвори́мъ съ ни́ми ми́ръ и҆ со всѣ́ми людьмѝ и҆́хъ,

⁵⁸

now therefore let us be friends with these men, and make peace with them, and with all their nation;

⁵⁹

и҆ оу҆ста́вимъ и҆̀мъ, да хо́дѧтъ въ зако́нѣхъ свои́хъ, ꙗ҆́коже пре́жде: ра́ди бо зако́нѡвъ свои́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же разрꙋши́хомъ, прогнѣ́вашасѧ и҆ сотвори́ша всѧ̑ сїѧ̑.

⁵⁹

and covenant with them, that they shall live after their laws, as they did before: for they are therefore displeased, and have done all these things, because we abolished their laws.

⁶⁰

И҆ оу҆го́дно бы́сть сло́во пред̾ царе́мъ и҆ нача̑лники, и҆ посла̀ къ ни̑мъ ми́ръ сотвори́ти. и҆ прїѧ́ша.

⁶⁰

So the king and the princes were content: wherefore he sent unto them to make peace; and they accepted thereof.

⁶¹

И҆ клѧ́тсѧ и҆̀мъ ца́рь и҆ нача̑лницы: ѡ҆ си́хъ и҆зыдо́ша и҆з̾ тверды́ни.

⁶¹

Also the king and the princes made an oath unto them: whereupon they went out of the strong hold.

⁶²

И҆ вни́де ца́рь въ го́рꙋ сїѡ́нъ и҆ ви́дѣ тверды́ню мѣ́ста: и҆ ѿве́ржесѧ клѧ́твы, є҆́юже клѧ́тсѧ, и҆ повелѣ̀ разори́ти стѣ́нꙋ ѡ҆́крестъ.

⁶²

Then the king entered into mount Sion: but when he saw the strength of the place, he brake his oath that he had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall round about.

⁶³

И҆ ѿи́де тща́телнѡ и҆ возврати́сѧ во а҆нтїохі́ю, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те фїлі́ппа госпо́дствꙋюща над̾ гра́домъ, и҆ воева̀ на́нь, и҆ взѧ̀ гра́дъ нꙋ́ждею.

⁶³

Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto Antiochia, where he found Philip to be master of the city: so he fought against him, and took the city by force.
