¹

Бы́ша же и҆ лжи́вїи проро́цы въ лю́дѣхъ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ въ ва́съ бꙋ́дꙋтъ лжи́вїи оу҆чи́телїе, и҆̀же внесꙋ́тъ є҆́рєси поги́бели, и҆ и҆скꙋ́пльшагѡ и҆̀хъ влⷣки ѿмета́ющесѧ, приводѧ́ще себѣ̀ ско́рꙋ поги́бель.

¹

But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

²

И҆ мно́зи послѣ́дствꙋютъ и҆́хъ нечистота́мъ, и҆́хже ра́ди пꙋ́ть и҆́стинный похꙋ́литсѧ.

²

And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of.

³

И҆ въ преꙋмноже́нїи льсти́выхъ слове́съ [въ лихои́мствѣ льсти́выми словесы̀] ва́съ оу҆ловѧ́тъ: и҆́хже сꙋ́дъ и҆сконѝ не косни́тъ, и҆ поги́бель и҆́хъ не дре́млетъ.

³

And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction shall not slumber.

⁴

А҆́ще бо бг҃ъ а҆́ггелѡвъ согрѣши́вшихъ не пощадѣ̀, но плени́цами мра́ка свѧза́въ, предадѐ на сꙋ́дъ мꙋ́чимыхъ блюстѝ:

⁴

For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

⁵

и҆ пе́рвагѡ мі́ра не пощадѣ̀, но ѻ҆сма́го нѡ́а пра́вды проповѣ́дника сохранѝ, пото́пъ мі́рꙋ нече́ствовавшихъ наведѐ:

⁵

and spared not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

⁶

и҆ гра́ды содѡ́мскїѧ и҆ гомѡ́ррскїѧ сже́гъ, разоре́нїемъ ѡ҆сꙋдѝ, ѡ҆́бразъ хотѧ́щымъ нече́ствовати положи́въ:

⁶

and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly;

⁷

и҆ првⷣнаго лѡ́та, ѡ҆би́дима ѿ беззако́нныхъ въ нечистотѣ̀ сожи́тїѧ, и҆зба́ви:

⁷

and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked

⁸

видѣ́нїемъ бо и҆ слꙋ́хомъ пра́ведный, живы́й въ ни́хъ, де́нь ѿ днѐ дꙋ́шꙋ првⷣнꙋ беззако́нными дѣ́лы мꙋ́чаше:

⁸

(for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds):

⁹

(Заⷱ҇ ѯ҃з҃.) вѣ́сть гдⷭ҇ь бл҃гочⷭ҇ти̑выѧ ѿ напа́сти и҆збавлѧ́ти, непра́ведники же на де́нь сꙋ́дный мꙋ̑чимы блюстѝ,

⁹

the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment;

¹⁰

наипа́че же в̾слѣ́дъ плотскі́ѧ по́хоти скверне́нїѧ ходѧ́щыѧ и҆ ѡ҆ госпо́дствѣ нерадѧ́щыѧ: продерза́телє, себѣ̀ оу҆гѡ́дницы, сла́вы не трепе́щꙋтъ хꙋ́лѧще:

¹⁰

but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities:

¹¹

и҆дѣ́же а҆́гг҃ли крѣ́постїю и҆ си́лою бѡ́лши сꙋ́ще, не терпѧ́тъ на сѧ̀ ѿ гдⷭ҇а оу҆кори́зненъ сꙋ́дъ.

¹¹

whereas angels, though greater in might and power, bring not a railing judgment against them before the Lord.

¹²

Сі́и же, ꙗ҆́кѡ ско́ти живо́тни є҆стество́мъ бы́вше въ поги́бель и҆ тлю̀, въ ни́хже не разꙋмѣ́ютъ хꙋ́лѧще, во и҆стлѣ́нїи свое́мъ и҆стлѣ́ютъ,

¹²

But these, natural creatures without reason, made to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed,

¹³

прїе́млюще мздꙋ̀ непра́веднꙋ, сла́сть мнѧ́ще вседне́вное насыще́нїе, скверни́тєли и҆ поро́чницы, пита́ющесѧ лестьмѝ свои́ми, ꙗ҆дꙋ́ще съ ва́ми,

¹³

receiving the hire of wrongdoing; men that count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceivings while they feast with you;

¹⁴

ѻ҆́чи и҆мꙋ́ще и҆спо́лнь блꙋдодѣѧ́нїѧ и҆ непреста́емагѡ грѣха̀, прельща́юще дꙋ́шы неꙋтверждє́ны, се́рдце наꙋче́но лихои́мствꙋ и҆мꙋ́ще, клѧ́твы ча̑да:

¹⁴

having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unsteadfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing;

¹⁵

ѡ҆ста́вльше пра́вый пꙋ́ть заблꙋди́ша, послѣ́довавше пꙋтѝ валаа́ма восо́рова, и҆́же мздꙋ̀ непра́веднꙋ возлюбѝ,

¹⁵

forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the hire of wrongdoing;

¹⁶

ѡ҆бличе́нїе же и҆мѣ̀ своегѡ̀ беззако́нїѧ: под̾ѧре́мникъ безгла́сенъ, человѣ́ческимъ гла́сомъ провѣща́вшь, возбранѝ проро́ка безꙋ́мїе.

¹⁶

but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man’s voice and stayed the madness of the prophet.

¹⁷

Сі́и сꙋ́ть и҆сто́чницы безво́дни, ѡ҆́блацы и҆ мглы̑ ѿ вѣ́тръ преноси́ми, и҆̀мже мра́къ те́мный во вѣ́ки блюде́тсѧ.

¹⁷

These are springs without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved forever.

¹⁸

Прегѡ́рдаѧ бо сꙋеты̀ вѣща́юще, прельща́ютъ въ сквє́рны плотскі́ѧ по́хоти, ѿбѣга́ющихъ всѧ́чески ѿ ни́хъ живꙋ́щихъ во льстѝ,

¹⁸

For, uttering great swelling words of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lascivious doings, those who had truly escaped from them that live in error;

¹⁹

свобо́дꙋ и҆̀мъ ѡ҆бѣщава́юще, са́ми рабѝ сꙋ́ще тле́нїѧ: и҆́мже бо кто̀ побѣжде́нъ быва́етъ, семꙋ̀ и҆ рабо́тенъ є҆́сть.

¹⁹

promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage.

²⁰

А҆́ще бо ѿбѣ́гше скве́рнъ мі́ра въ ра́зꙋмъ [позна́нїемъ] гдⷭ҇а и҆ сп҃са на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, си́ми же па́ки спле́тшесѧ побѣжда́еми быва́ютъ, бы́ша и҆̀мъ послѣ̑днѧѧ гѡ́рша пе́рвыхъ.

²⁰

For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first.

²¹

Лꙋ́чше бо бѣ̀ и҆̀мъ не позна́ти пꙋтѝ пра́вды, не́жели позна́вшымъ возврати́тисѧ вспѧ́ть ѿ пре́данныѧ и҆̀мъ ст҃ы́ѧ за́повѣди.

²¹

For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

²²

Слꙋчи́сѧ бо и҆̀мъ и҆́стиннаѧ при́тча: пе́съ возвра́щьсѧ на свою̀ блево́тинꙋ, и҆: свинїѧ̀, ѡ҆мы́вшисѧ, въ ка́лъ ти́нный.

²²

But it hath happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.
