¹

Нечєсти́вымъ же до конца̀ без̾ ми́лости ꙗ҆́рость на́йде: предвѣ́дѣ бо и҆́хъ и҆ бꙋ̑дꙋщаѧ,

¹

As for the ungodly, wrath came upon them without mercy unto the end: for he knew before what they would do;

²

ꙗ҆́кѡ ті́и ѿпꙋсти́вшїи, є҆́же ѿитѝ, и҆ со тща́нїемъ предпосла́вше и҆̀хъ, поженꙋ́тъ в̾слѣ́дъ раска́ѧвшесѧ:

²

how that having given them leave to depart, and sent them hastily away, they would repent and pursue them.

³

є҆ще́ бо въ рꙋка́хъ и҆мѣ́юще рыда̑нїѧ и҆ сѣ́тꙋюще над̾ гроба́ми ме́ртвыхъ, и҆́нъ себѣ̀ взѧ́ша по́мыслъ безꙋ́мїѧ, и҆ и҆̀хже молѧ́ще и҆згна́ша, си́хъ а҆́ки бѣглецє́въ гонѧ́хꙋ.

³

For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to be gone.

⁴

Влеча́ше бо и҆̀хъ къ семꙋ̀ концꙋ̀ досто́йнаѧ нꙋ́жда, и҆ приклю́чшихсѧ забы́тїе вложѝ, да и҆ про́чꙋю къ мꙋче́нїємъ принапо́лнѧтъ ка́знь:

⁴

For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had already happened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting to their torments:

⁵

и҆ лю́дїе оу҆́бѡ твоѝ пресла́вное пꙋтьше́ствїе пре́йдꙋтъ, ѻ҆ни́ же стра́ннꙋ ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтъ сме́рть.

⁵

and that thy people might pass through a wonderful way: but they might find a strange death.

⁶

Все́ бо творе́нїе во свое́мъ є҆мꙋ̀ ро́дѣ па́ки свы́ше преѡбразова́шесѧ, слꙋжа́щее сво́йствєннымъ твои̑мъ повелѣ́нїємъ, да ѻ҆́троцы твоѝ сохранѧ́тсѧ неврежде́ни.

⁶

For the whole creature in his proper kind was fashioned again anew, serving the peculiar commandments that were given unto them, that thy children might be kept without hurt:

⁷

Ѡ҆́блакъ ѡ҆сѣнѧ́ѧй по́лкъ и҆́хъ, и҆ и҆з̾ преждебы́вшїѧ воды̀ ѿкры́тїе сꙋхі́ѧ землѝ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ, и҆ и҆з̾ мо́рѧ чермна́гѡ пꙋ́ть невозбра́ненъ, и҆ по́ле ѕла́чное ѿ волне́нїѧ ѕѣ́лнагѡ:

⁷

as namely, a cloud shadowing the camp; and where water stood before, dry land appeared; and out of the Red sea a way without impediment; and out of the violent stream a green field:

⁸

и҆́мже ве́сь ꙗ҆зы́къ про́йде, твое́ю рꙋко́ю покрове́ни, ви́дѧще ди̑внаѧ чꙋдеса̀.

⁸

through which all the people went that were defended with thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders.

⁹

Ꙗ҆́коже бо ко́ни насы́тишасѧ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гнцы взыгра́шасѧ, хва́лѧще тѧ̀, гдⷭ҇и, и҆зба́вльшаго и҆̀хъ:

⁹

For they went at large like horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them.

¹⁰

воспомѧнꙋ́ша бо є҆щѐ, ꙗ҆̀же во ѡ҆бита́нїи и҆́хъ, ка́кѡ оу҆́бѡ вмѣ́стѡ рожде́нїѧ живо́тныхъ и҆зведѐ землѧ̀ скні̑пы, вмѣ́стѡ же ры́бъ и҆зры́гнꙋ рѣка̀ мно́жество жа́бъ.

¹⁰

For they were yet mindful of the things that were done while they sojourned in the strange land, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes.

¹¹

Послѣди́ же ви́дѣша и҆ но́вое рожде́нїе пти́цъ, є҆гда̀ похотѣ́нїемъ подви́гшесѧ, проси́ша сла́достныѧ пи́щи.

¹¹

But afterward they saw a new generation of fowls, when, being led with their appetite, they asked delicate meats.

¹²

Во оу҆тѣше́нїе бо взыдо́ша и҆̀мъ ѿ мо́рѧ кра́стєли: и҆ мꙋчє́нїѧ грѣ̑шнымъ наидо́ша, не без̾ бы́вшихъ зна́менїй си́лою мо́лнїй: пра́веднѣ бо пострада́ша за своѧ̑ ѕлѡ́бы,

¹²

For quails came up unto them from the sea for their contentment.

¹³

и҆́бо лютѣ́йшее ненавидѣ́нїе стра́нныхъ соверши́ша: и҆ні́и оу҆́бѡ незна́емыхъ не прїе́млѧхꙋ прише́лцєвъ, сі́и же благодѣ́телей стра́нныхъ порабоща́хꙋ.

¹³

And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.

¹⁴

И҆ не то́кмѡ, но а҆́ще ко́е разсмотре́нїе бꙋ́детъ и҆́хъ: занѐ вражде́бнѡ прїе́млѧхꙋ чꙋжды́хъ.

¹⁴

For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them.

¹⁵

Сі́и же съ пра́зднествами прїе́мше приѡбщи́вшихсѧ оу҆жѐ и҆́хъ ѡ҆бы́чаємъ, жесточа́йшими ѡ҆ѕло́биша трꙋда́ми.

¹⁵

And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly:

¹⁶

Побїе́ни же бы́ша и҆ ѡ҆слѣпле́нїемъ, ꙗ҆́коже ѻ҆́нїи при две́рехъ пра́ведника, є҆гда̀ вели́кою ѡ҆бложе́ни тмо́ю, кі́йждо свои́хъ две́рїй прохо́да и҆ска́ше.

¹⁶

but these very grievously afflicted them, whom they had received with feastings, and were already made partakers of the same laws with them.

¹⁷

Са́ми бо собо́ю стїхі̑и премѣнѧ́ємы, ꙗ҆́коже въ гꙋ́слехъ гла́сы сли́чїѧ и҆́мѧ премѣнѧ́ютъ, всегда̀ хранѧ́ще звꙋ́къ: є҆́же є҆́сть ви́дѣти ѿ зра́ка бы́вшихъ и҆звѣ́стнѡ.

¹⁷

Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man: when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage of his own doors.

¹⁸

Земна̑ѧ бо въ вѡ́днаѧ прелага́хꙋсѧ, и҆ пла̑вающаѧ прехожда́хꙋ на зе́млю.

¹⁸

For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived by the sight of the things that have been done.

¹⁹

Ѻ҆́гнь возмога́ше въ водѣ̀ вы́шше своеѧ̀ си́лы, и҆ вода̀ оу҆гаша́ющꙋю си́лꙋ забы̀.

¹⁹

For earthly things were turned into watery, and the things, that before swam in the water, now went upon the ground.

²⁰

Пла́мень вопрекѝ оу҆доботлѣ́нныхъ живо́тныхъ не вредѝ пло́тей въ не́мъ ходѧ́щихъ, нижѐ таѧ́ше ледови́дный оу҆добота́ѧй ро́дъ сла́достныѧ пи́щи.

²⁰

The fire had power in the water, forgetting his own virtue: and the water forgat his own quenching nature.

²¹

По всемꙋ́ бо, гдⷭ҇и, возвели́чилъ є҆сѝ лю́ди твоѧ̑ и҆ просла́вилъ є҆сѝ, и҆ не презрѣ́лъ є҆сѝ, во всѧ́цѣмъ вре́мени и҆ мѣ́стѣ предстоѧ́й.

²¹

On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of the corruptible living things, though they walked therein; neither melted they the icy kind of heavenly meat, that was of nature apt to melt.
