¹

And Ezekias sent to all Israel and Juda, and wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasse, that they should come into the house of the Lord to Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel.

¹

Посла́ же є҆зекі́а ко всемꙋ̀ і҆и҃лю и҆ і҆ꙋ́дѣ, и҆ написа̀ посла̑нїѧ ко є҆фре́мꙋ и҆ манассі́и, да прїи́дꙋтъ къ до́мꙋ гдⷭ҇ню во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ сотвори́ти па́схꙋ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ.

²

For the king, and the princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, designed to keep the passover in the second month.

²

И҆ оу҆совѣ́това ца́рь и҆ кнѧ̑зи и҆ всѐ мно́жество во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ сотвори́ти па́схꙋ во вторы́й мцⷭ҇ъ:

³

For they could not keep it at that time, because a sufficient number of priests had not purified themselves, and the people was not gathered to Jerusalem.

³

не возмого́ша бо сотвори́ти во вре́мѧ своѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ свѧще́нницы не ѡ҆чи́стишасѧ дово́лни, и҆ лю́дїе не оу҆̀ собра́шасѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.

⁴

And the proposal pleased the king and the congregation.

⁴

И҆ оу҆го́дно бы́сть сло́во царе́ви и҆ всемꙋ̀ мно́жествꙋ.

⁵

And they established a decree that a proclamation should go through all Israel, from Bersabee to Dan, that they should come and keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for the multitude had not done it lately according to the scripture.

⁵

И҆ поста́виша сло́во, да про́йдетъ про́повѣдь во ве́сь і҆и҃ль ѿ вирсаве́и да́же до да́на, да прїи́дꙋтъ сотвори́ти па́схꙋ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, мно́зи бо не сотвори́ша по писа́нїю.

⁶

And the posts went with the letters from the king and the princes to all Israel and Juda, according to the command of the king, saying, Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, and bring back them that have escaped even those that were left of the hand of the king of Assyria.

⁶

И҆ поидо́ша гонцы̀ съ посла́ньми ѿ царѧ̀ и҆ ѿ нача́лникѡвъ во ве́сь і҆и҃ль и҆ і҆ꙋде́ю по повелѣ́нїю царе́вꙋ, глаго́люще: сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы, ѡ҆брати́тесѧ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ а҆враа́млю и҆ і҆саа́ковꙋ и҆ і҆а́кѡвлю, и҆ ѡ҆брати́те спа́сшихсѧ, и҆̀же и҆збы́ша ѿ рꙋкѝ царѧ̀ а҆ссꙋ́рска,

⁷

And be not as your fathers, and your brethren, who revolted from the Lord God of their fathers, and he gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

⁷

и҆ не бꙋ́дите ꙗ҆́коже ѻ҆тцы̀ ва́ши и҆ бра́тїѧ ва̑ша, и҆̀же ѿстꙋпи́ша ѿ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ, и҆ предадѐ и҆̀хъ въ погꙋбле́нїе, ꙗ҆́коже вы̀ ви́дите:

⁸

And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers did: give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away his fierce anger from you.

⁸

и҆ нн҃ѣ не ѡ҆жесточи́те серде́цъ ва́шихъ, ꙗ҆́коже ѻ҆тцы̀ ва́ши: дади́те сла́вꙋ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ и҆ вни́дите во свѧти́лище є҆гѡ̀, є҆́же ѡ҆ст҃ѝ во вѣ́къ, и҆ слꙋжи́те гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ ва́шемꙋ, и҆ ѿврати́тъ ѿ ва́съ гнѣ́въ ꙗ҆́рости своеѧ̀:

⁹

For when ye turn to the Lord, your brethren and your children shall be pitied before all that have carried them captives, and he will restore you to this land: for the Lord our God is merciful and pitiful, and will not turn away his face from you, if we return to him.

⁹

поне́же є҆гда̀ ѡ҆брати́тесѧ вы̀ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, бра́тїѧ ва̑ша и҆ ча̑да ва̑ша бꙋ́дꙋтъ въ щедро́тахъ пред̾ всѣ́ми плѣни́вшими и҆̀хъ, и҆ возврати́тъ въ зе́млю сїю̀, занѐ млⷭ҇тивъ и҆ ще́дръ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ на́шъ, и҆ не ѿврати́тъ лица̀ своегѡ̀ ѿ на́съ, а҆́ще ѡ҆брати́мсѧ къ немꙋ̀.

¹⁰

So the posts went through from city to city in mount Ephraim, and Manasse, and as far as Zabulon: and they as it were laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

¹⁰

И҆ бѧ́хꙋ гонцы̀ проходѧ́ще ѿ гра́да во гра́дъ, на горѣ̀ є҆фре́мли и҆ манассі́инѣ, да́же и҆ до завꙋлѡ́на: и҆ бы́ша ꙗ҆́кѡ посмѣѧва́еми и҆ порꙋга́еми.

¹¹

But the men of Aser, and some of Manasses and of Zabulon, were ashamed, and came to Jerusalem and Juda.

¹¹

Но мꙋ́жїе ѿ а҆си́ра и҆ ѿ манассі́и и҆ ѿ завꙋлѡ́на оу҆стыди́шасѧ и҆ прїидо́ша въ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ и҆ во і҆ꙋде́ю.

¹²

And the hand of the Lord was present to give them one heart to come, to do according to the commands of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.

¹²

И҆ бы́сть рꙋка̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ да́ти и҆̀мъ се́рдце є҆ди́но прїитѝ, є҆́же сотвори́ти по повелѣ́нїю царе́вꙋ и҆ кнѧзе́й сло́во гдⷭ҇не.

¹³

And a great multitude were gathered to Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

¹³

И҆ собра́шасѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ лю́дїе мно́зи, да сотворѧ́тъ пра́здникъ ѡ҆прѣсно́кѡвъ въ мцⷭ҇ъ вторы́й, со́нмъ мно́гъ ѕѣлѡ̀.

¹⁴

And they arose, and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all on which they burnt incense to false gods they tore down and cast into the brook Kedron.

¹⁴

И҆ воста́ша, и҆ разори́ша ѻ҆лтари̑, и҆̀же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ всѧ̑, въ ни́хже кадѧ́хꙋ і҆́дѡлѡмъ, и҆спроверго́ша и҆ вверго́ша и҆̀хъ въ пото́къ ке́дрскїй,

¹⁵

Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites repented, and purified themselves, and brought whole-burnt-offerings into the house of the Lord.

¹⁵

и҆ пожро́ша па́схꙋ въ четвертыйна́десѧть де́нь мцⷭ҇а втора́гѡ: свѧще́нницы же и҆ леѵі́ти оу҆мили́шасѧ и҆ ѡ҆свѧти́шасѧ, и҆ принесо́ша всесожжє́нїѧ въ до́мъ гдⷭ҇ень:

¹⁶

And they stood at their post, according to their ordinance, according to the commandment of Moses the man of God: and the priests received the blood from the hand of the Levites.

¹⁶

и҆ ста́ша въ чи́нѣ свое́мъ по ѡ҆бы́чаю своемꙋ̀, по за́повѣди мѡѷсе́а человѣ́ка бж҃їѧ, и҆ свѧще́нницы прїе́млѧхꙋ кро́вь ѿ рꙋкꙋ̀ леѵі̑тскꙋ.

¹⁷

For a great part of the congregation was not sanctified; and the Levites were ready to kill the passover for every one who could not sanctify himself to the Lord.

¹⁷

Поне́же мно́гъ наро́дъ ѡ҆свѧще́нъ не бы́сть, леѵі́ти же бѧ́хꙋ жрꙋ́ще па́схꙋ всѧ́комꙋ, и҆́же не можа́ше ѡ҆свѧти́тисѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ:

¹⁸

For the greatest part of the people of Ephraim, and Manasse, and Issachar, and Zabulon, had not purified themselves, but ate the passover contrary to the scripture. On this account also Ezekias prayed concerning them, saying,

¹⁸

поне́же бо́лшаѧ ча́сть люді́й ѿ є҆фре́ма и҆ манассі́и, и҆ і҆ссаха́ра и҆ завꙋлѡ́на ѡ҆свѧще́нна не бы́сть, но ꙗ҆до́ша па́схꙋ не по писа́нїю.

¹⁹

The good Lord be merciful with regard to every heart that sincerely seeks the Lord God of their fathers, and is not purified according to the purification of the sanctuary.

¹⁹

И҆ помоли́сѧ є҆зекі́а ѡ҆ ни́хъ глаго́лѧ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ бл҃гі́й да оу҆млⷭ҇тивитсѧ ѡ҆ всѧ́цѣмъ се́рдцы напра́вившемсѧ є҆́же взыска́ти гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ, а҆ не по ѡ҆чище́нїю ст҃ы́нь.

²⁰

And the Lord hearkened to Ezekias, and healed the people.

²⁰

И҆ оу҆слы́ша гдⷭ҇ь є҆зекі́ю и҆ и҆зцѣлѝ лю́ди.

²¹

And the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy; and they continued to sing hymns to the Lord daily, and the priests and the Levites played on instruments to the Lord.

²¹

И҆ сотвори́ша сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы ѡ҆брѣ́тшїисѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ пра́здникъ ѡ҆прѣсно́кѡвъ се́дмь дні́й въ весе́лїи вели́цѣ хва́лѧще гдⷭ҇а на всѧ́къ де́нь, леѵі́ти же и҆ свѧще́нницы во ѻ҆рга́ны гдⷭ҇ꙋ.

²²

And Ezekias encouraged all the Levites, and those that had good understanding of the Lord: and they completely kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days, offering peace-offerings, and confessing to the Lord God of their fathers.

²²

И҆ глаго́ла є҆зекі́а ко всѧ́комꙋ се́рдцꙋ леѵі́тѡвъ, и҆̀же и҆мѣ́хъ ра́зꙋмъ бла́гъ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ: и҆ сконча́ша пра́здникъ ѡ҆прѣсно́кѡвъ се́дмь дні́й жрꙋ́ще же́ртвꙋ спасе́нїѧ и҆ и҆сповѣ́дающесѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ.

²³

And the congregation purposed together to keep other seven days: and they kept seven days with gladness.

²³

И҆ оу҆совѣ́това ве́сь собо́ръ кꙋ́пнѡ сотвори́ти и҆́ны се́дмь дні́й (пра́здника): и҆ сотвори́ша се́дмь дні́й и҆ны́хъ въ весе́лїи.

²⁴

For Ezekias set apart for Juda, even for the congregation, a thousand calves and seven thousand sheep; and the princes set apart for the people a thousand calves and ten thousand sheep: and the holy things of the priests abundantly.

²⁴

Поне́же є҆зекі́а ца́рь і҆ꙋ́динъ дадѐ нача́тки всемꙋ̀ наро́дꙋ ты́сѧщꙋ телцє́въ и҆ се́дмь ты́сѧщъ ѻ҆ве́цъ: нача̑лницы же да́ша лю́демъ телцє́въ ты́сѧщꙋ и҆ ѻ҆ве́цъ де́сѧть ты́сѧщъ, и҆ ѡ҆свѧти́шасѧ свѧще́нникѡвъ мно́жество.

²⁵

And all the congregation, the priests and the Levites, rejoiced, and all the congregation of Juda, and they that were present of Jerusalem, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and the dwellers in Juda.

²⁵

И҆ возра́довасѧ всѧ̀ це́рковь, свѧще́нницы и҆ леѵі́ти, и҆ всѐ мно́жество і҆ꙋ́дино и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тшїисѧ и҆з̾ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, и҆ прише́лцы прише́дшїи ѿ землѝ і҆и҃левы и҆ ѡ҆бита́ющїи во і҆ꙋде́и.

²⁶

And there was great joy in Jerusalem: from the days of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not such a feast in Jerusalem.

²⁶

И҆ бы́сть весе́лїе ве́лїе во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ дні́й соломѡ́на, сы́на даві́дова царѧ̀ і҆и҃лева, не бы́сть таковы́й пра́здникъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.

²⁷

Then the priests the Levites rose up and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came into his holy dwelling-place, even into heaven.

²⁷

И҆ воста́ша свѧще́нницы и҆ леѵі́ти и҆ благослови́ша люді́й, и҆ оу҆слы́шанъ бы́сть гла́съ и҆́хъ, и҆ прїи́де моле́нїе и҆́хъ въ жили́ще ст҃о́е є҆гѡ̀ на нб҃о.
