¹

Ѻ҆смѝ лѣ́тъ бы́сть і҆ѡсі́а, є҆гда̀ ца́рствовати нача̀, и҆ три́десѧть є҆ди́но лѣ́то ца́рствова во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ,

¹

Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

²

и҆ сотворѝ пра́вое пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆ ходѝ въ пꙋте́хъ даві́да ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀, и҆ не оу҆клони́сѧ ни на де́сно, ни на лѣ́во.

²

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

³

И҆ во ѻ҆смо́е лѣ́то ца́рства своегѡ̀, и҆ то́й є҆щѐ сы́й ѻ҆́трокъ, нача̀ взыска́ти гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀ даві́да: и҆ во второена́десѧть лѣ́то ца́рства своегѡ̀ нача̀ ѡ҆чища́ти і҆ꙋде́ю и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ ѿ высо́кихъ и҆ лѣсѡ́въ, и҆ ѿ ка́пищъ и҆ ѿ и҆стꙋка́нныхъ.

³

And in the eighth year of his reign, and he being yet a youth, he began to seek the Lord God of his father David: and in the twelfth year of his reign he began to purge Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the ornaments for the altars, and the molten images.

⁴

И҆ разори́ша пред̾ лице́мъ є҆гѡ̀ ѻ҆лтари̑ ваалі́мли, и҆ высѡ́каѧ, ꙗ҆̀же на ни́хъ: и҆ посѣчѐ дꙋбра̑вы и҆ и҆стꙋка̑нныѧ, и҆ слїѧ̑ннаѧ сокрꙋшѝ и҆ и҆стнѝ, и҆ растопѝ и҆ пове́рже пред̾ лице́мъ гробѡ́въ жрꙋ́щихъ и҆̀мъ:

⁴

And he pulled down the altars of Baalim that were before his face, and the high places that were above them; and he cut down the groves, and the graven images, and broke in pieces the molten images, and reduced them to powder, and cast it upon the surface of the tombs of those who had sacrificed to them.

⁵

и҆ кѡ́сти жерцє́въ сожжѐ на ѻ҆лтаре́хъ и҆́хъ, и҆ ѡ҆чи́сти і҆ꙋ́дꙋ и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ,

⁵

And he burnt the bones of the priests upon the altars, and purged Juda and Jerusalem.

⁶

и҆ во градѣ́хъ манассі́иныхъ и҆ є҆фре́млихъ и҆ сѷмеѡ́нихъ да́же до нефѳалі́ма, и҆ въ мѣ́стѣхъ и҆́хъ ѡ҆́крестъ:

⁶

And he did so in the cities of Manasse, and Ephraim, and Symeon, and Nephthali, and the places round about them.

⁷

и҆ ѻ҆лтари̑ размета̀ и҆ лѣ́сы, и҆ і҆́дѡлы разсѣчѐ въ ча̑стицы, и҆ всѧ̑ высѡ́каѧ и҆зсѣчѐ ѿ всеѧ̀ землѝ і҆и҃левы, и҆ возврати́сѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.

⁷

And he pulled down the altars and the groves, and he cut the idols in small pieces, and cut off all the high places from all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.

⁸

И҆ во ѻ҆смоена́десѧть лѣ́то ца́рства своегѡ̀, є҆гда̀ ѡ҆чище́на бы́сть землѧ̀ и҆ це́рковь гдⷭ҇нѧ, посла̀ сафа́на сы́на є҆селі́ева и҆ а҆месі́ю нача́лника гра́да и҆ і҆ѡа́са сы́на і҆ѡаха́зова памѧтопи́сца своего̀, да оу҆твердѧ́тъ до́мъ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а своегѡ̀.

⁸

And in the eighteenth year of his reign, after having cleansed the land, and the house, he sent Saphan the son of Ezelias, and Maasa prefect of the city, and Juach son of Joachaz his recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.

⁹

И҆ прїидо́ша ко хелкі́и свѧще́нникꙋ вели́комꙋ, и҆ да́ша сребро̀ принесе́нное въ до́мъ гдⷭ҇ень, є҆́же собра́ша леѵі́ти хранѧ́щїи две́рь ѿ рꙋкѝ манассі́ины и҆ є҆фре́мли, и҆ ѿ нача́лникѡвъ и҆ ѿ всѣ́хъ про́чихъ во і҆и҃ли, и҆ ѿ сынѡ́въ і҆ꙋ́диныхъ и҆ венїамі́нихъ и҆ ѡ҆бита́ющихъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ,

⁹

And they came to Chelcias the high priest, and gave the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the gate collected of the hand of Manasse and Ephraim, and of the princes, and of every one that was left in Israel, and of the children of Juda and Benjamin, and of the dwellers in Jerusalem.

¹⁰

и҆ да́ша ѻ҆́ное въ рꙋ́цѣ творѧ́щихъ дѣла̀, приста̑вницы въ домꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ни, и҆ да́ша є҆̀ творѧ́щымъ дѣла̀, и҆̀же творѧ́хꙋ въ домꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ни да, ѡ҆бновѧ́тъ и҆ оу҆крѣпѧ́тъ хра́мъ:

¹⁰

And they gave it into the hand of the workmen, who were appointed in the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen who wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and strengthen the house.

¹¹

и҆ да́ша текто́нѡмъ и҆ домоздателємъ, да кꙋ́пѧтъ ка́менїе четвероꙋго́лное и҆ древа̀ на бе́рвна на покры́тїе домѡ́въ, и҆̀хже разори́ша ца́рїе і҆ꙋ̑дины.

¹¹

They gave it also to the carpenters and builders, to buy squared stones, and timber for beams to cover the houses which the kings of Juda had destroyed.

¹²

И҆ мꙋ́жїе вѣ́рнѡ творѧ́хꙋ въ дѣ́лѣхъ, и҆ над̾ ни́ми надзира́телє і҆е́ѳъ и҆ а҆вді́а леѵі́ти ѿ сынѡ́въ мера́рїныхъ, и҆ заха́рїа и҆ мосолла́мъ ѿ сынѡ́въ каа́ѳѡвыхъ надзира́ти, и҆ всѧ́къ леѵі́тинъ, и҆ всѧ́къ зна́ѧй во ѻ҆рга́ны пѣ́ти:

¹²

And the men were faithfully engaged in the works: and over them were superintendents, Jeth and Abdias, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zacharias and Mosollam, of the sons of Caath, appointed to oversee; and every Levite, and every one that understood how to play on musical instruments.

¹³

и҆ над̾ носѧ́щими бремена̀ и҆ над̾ всѣ́ми творѧ́щими дѣла̀, всѧ́кимъ дѣ́ланїемъ: и҆ ѿ леѵі̑тъ бѣ́ша пи́сареве и҆ сꙋдїи̑ и҆ двє́рницы.

¹³

And overseers were over the burden-bearers, and over all the workmen in the respective works; and of the Levites were appointed scribes, and judges, and porters.

¹⁴

И҆ внегда̀ и҆зноси́ти и҆̀мъ сребро̀ принесе́нное въ це́рковь гдⷭ҇ню, ѡ҆брѣ́те хелкі́а свѧще́нникъ кни́гꙋ зако́на гдⷭ҇нѧ, (ꙗ҆́же дана̀ бы́сть) рꙋко́ю мѡѷсе́овою.

¹⁴

And when they brought forth the money that had been brought into the house of the Lord, Chelcias the priest found a book of the law of the Lord given by the hand of Moses.

¹⁵

И҆ ѿвѣща̀ хелкі́а и҆ речѐ къ сафа́нꙋ пи́сарю: кни́гꙋ зако́на ѡ҆брѣто́хъ въ домꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ни. И҆ дадѐ хелкі́а кни́гꙋ сафа́нꙋ.

¹⁵

And Chelcias answered and said to Saphan the scribe, I have found a book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Chelcias gave the book to Saphan.

¹⁶

И҆ принесѐ сафа́нъ кни́гꙋ ко царю̀, и҆ возвѣстѝ є҆щѐ ко царю̀ сло́во, глаго́лѧ: всѐ сребро̀ дано̀ въ рꙋ́ки рабѡ́въ твои́хъ творѧ́щихъ дѣла̀:

¹⁶

And Saphan brought in the book to the king, and moreover gave an account to the king, saying, This is all the money given into the hand of thy servants that work.

¹⁷

и҆ слїѧ́ша сребро̀ ѡ҆брѣ́тенное въ домꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ни, и҆ да́ша въ рꙋ́ки надзира́телей и҆ въ рꙋ́ки творѧ́щихъ дѣ́ло.

¹⁷

And they have collected the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and given it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of them that do the work.

¹⁸

И҆ возвѣстѝ сафа́нъ пи́сарь сло́во царю̀, глаго́лѧ: кни́гꙋ даде́ ми хелкі́а свѧще́нникъ. И҆ прочтѐ ю҆̀ сафа́нъ пред̾ царе́мъ.

¹⁸

And Saphan the scribe brought word to the king, saying, Chelcias the priest has given me a book. And Saphan read it before the king.

¹⁹

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ оу҆слы́ша ца́рь словеса̀ зако́на, и҆ растерза̀ ри̑зы своѧ̑.

¹⁹

And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he rent his garments.

²⁰

И҆ повелѣ̀ ца́рь хелкі́еви и҆ а҆хїка́мꙋ сы́нꙋ сафа́новꙋ и҆ а҆вдѡ́нꙋ сы́нꙋ мїхе́евꙋ, и҆ сафа́нꙋ пи́сарю и҆ а҆са́їю рабꙋ̀ царе́вꙋ, глаго́лѧ:

²⁰

And the king commanded Chelcias, and Achicam the son of Saphan, and Abdom the son of Michaias, and Saphan the scribe, and Asaia the servant of the king, saying,

²¹

и҆ди́те и҆ моли́тесѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ за мѧ̀ и҆ за всѧ́каго ѡ҆ста́вшагосѧ во і҆и҃ли и҆ і҆ꙋ́дѣ, ѡ҆ словесѣ́хъ кни́ги, ꙗ҆́же ѡ҆брѣ́тена є҆́сть, вели́къ бо гнѣ́въ гдⷭ҇ень разгорѣ́сѧ на на́съ, поне́же не послꙋ́шаша ѻ҆тцы̀ на́ши слове́съ гдⷭ҇нихъ, є҆́же твори́ти по всѣ̑мъ напи̑саннымъ въ кни́зѣ се́й.

²¹

Go, enquire of the Lord for me, and for every one that is left in Israel and Juda, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord which has been kindled amongst us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of the Lord, to do according to all the things written in this book.

²²

И҆ и҆́де хелкі́а, и҆ и҆̀мже повелѣ̀ ца́рь, ко ѻ҆лда́нѣ проро́чицѣ, женѣ̀ селли́ма сы́на ѳекꙋ́ева, сы́на є҆сері́и ризохрани́телѧ, хранѧ́щей за́пѡвѣди, ꙗ҆́же ѡ҆бита́ше во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ въ маса́нѣ, и҆ глаго́лаша є҆́й по си̑мъ.

²²

And Chelcias went, and the others whom the king told, to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellem son of Thecoe, son of Aras, who kept the commandments; and she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter: and they spoke to her accordingly.

²³

И҆ та̀ ѿвѣща̀ и҆̀мъ: сїѧ̑ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ: глаго́лите мꙋ́жꙋ, и҆́же посла̀ ва́съ ко мнѣ̀: сїѧ̑ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь:

²³

And she said to them, Thus has the Lord God of Israel said, Tell the man who sent you to me,

²⁴

сѐ, а҆́зъ наведꙋ̀ ѕла̑ѧ на мѣ́сто сїѐ и҆ на ѡ҆бита́ющихъ въ не́мъ всѧ̑ словеса̀, ꙗ҆̀же пи̑сана сꙋ́ть въ кни́зѣ прочте́ннѣй пред̾ царе́мъ і҆ꙋ́динымъ,

²⁴

Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I bring evil upon this place, even all the words that are written in the book that was read before the king of Juda:

²⁵

занѐ ѡ҆ста́виша мѧ̀ и҆ кадѧ́хꙋ богѡ́мъ чꙋжди̑мъ, да прогнѣ́ваютъ мѧ̀ во всѣ́хъ дѣ́лѣхъ рꙋ́къ свои́хъ: и҆ разгорѣ́сѧ ꙗ҆́рость моѧ̀ на мѣ́сто сїѐ и҆ не оу҆гаси́тсѧ:

²⁵

because they have forsaken me, and burnt incense to strange gods, that they might provoke me by all the works of their hands; and my wrath is kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.

²⁶

и҆ ко царю̀ і҆ꙋ́динꙋ, и҆́же посла̀ ва́съ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ помоли́тисѧ, та́кѡ глаго́лите є҆мꙋ̀: сїѧ̑ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ: словеса̀, ꙗ҆̀же слы́шалъ є҆сѝ,

²⁶

And concerning the king of Juda, who sent you to seek the Lord,—thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, As for the words which thou hast heard,

²⁷

и҆ сокрꙋши́сѧ се́рдце твоѐ, и҆ смири́лсѧ є҆сѝ пред̾ лице́мъ мои́мъ, є҆гда̀ оу҆слы́шалъ є҆сѝ словеса̀ моѧ̑ на мѣ́сто сїѐ и҆ на ѡ҆бита́ющихъ въ не́мъ, и҆ смири́лсѧ є҆сѝ предо мно́ю, и҆ растерза́лъ є҆сѝ ри̑зы твоѧ̑, и҆ пла́калъ є҆сѝ предо мно́ю, и҆ а҆́зъ оу҆слы́шахъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь:

²⁷

forasmuch as thy heart was ashamed, and thou wast humbled before me when thou heardest my words against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, and thou wast humbled before me, and didst rend thy garments, and didst weep before me; I also have heard, saith the Lord.

²⁸

сѐ, приложꙋ̀ тѧ̀ ко ѻ҆тцє́мъ твои̑мъ, и҆ приложи́шисѧ ко гробѡ́мъ твои́мъ въ ми́рѣ, и҆ не оу҆́зрѧтъ ѻ҆́чи твоѝ всѧ́кагѡ ѕла̀, ꙗ҆̀же а҆́зъ наведꙋ̀ на мѣ́сто сїѐ и҆ на ѡ҆бита́ющихъ въ не́мъ. И҆ возвѣсти́ша царю̀ сло́во.

²⁸

Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, and thine eyes shall not look upon all the evils which I am bringing upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of it. And they brought back word to the king.

²⁹

И҆ посла̀ ца́рь, и҆ собра̀ старѣ̑йшины і҆ꙋ̑дины и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли̑мли.

²⁹

And the king sent and gathered the elders of Juda and Jerusalem.

³⁰

И҆ взы́де ца́рь въ до́мъ гдⷭ҇ень и҆ всѝ мꙋ́жїе і҆ꙋ̑дины и҆ живꙋ́щїи во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ свѧще́нницы и҆ леѵі́ти, и҆ всѝ лю́дїе ѿ ма́ла да́же до вели́ка: и҆ чита́ше во оу҆шеса̀ и҆́хъ всѧ̑ словеса̀ кни́ги завѣ́та ѡ҆брѣ́тенныѧ въ домꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ни.

³⁰

And the king went up to the house of the Lord, he and all Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that were found in the house of the Lord.

³¹

И҆ ста̀ ца́рь на столпѣ̀, и҆ завѣща̀ завѣ́тъ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ ходи́ти пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, храни́ти за́пѡвѣди є҆гѡ̀ и҆ свидѣ̑нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ повелѣ̑нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ всѣ́мъ се́рдцемъ и҆ все́ю дꙋше́ю, є҆́же твори́ти словеса̀ завѣ́та напи̑саннаѧ въ кни́зѣ се́й.

³¹

And the king stood at a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk before the Lord, to keep his commandments and testimonies, and his ordinances, with all his heart and with all his soul, so as to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

³²

И҆ поста́ви всѣ́хъ, и҆̀же ѡ҆брѣ́тени бѧ́хꙋ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ и҆ венїамі́нѣ, и҆ сотвори́ша ѡ҆бита́ющїи во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ завѣ́тъ въ домꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ.

³²

And he caused all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand; and the inhabitants of Jerusalem made a covenant in the house of the Lord God of their fathers.

³³

И҆ ѿѧ̀ і҆ѡсі́а всѧ̑ ме́рзѡсти ѿ всеѧ̀ землѝ, ꙗ҆́же бѣ̀ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, и҆ сотворѝ всѣ́хъ ѡ҆брѣ́тшихсѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ и҆ во і҆и҃ли слꙋжи́ти гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ своемꙋ̀ во всѧ̑ дни̑ своѧ̑, и҆ не оу҆клони́сѧ ѿ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ.

³³

And Josias removed all the abominations out of the whole land which belonged to the children of Israel, and caused all that were found in Jerusalem and in Israel, to serve the Lord their God all his days: he departed not from following the Lord God of his fathers.
