| Not long after this the king sent an old man of Athens to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers, and not to live after the laws of God: | Не по мно́зѣ же вре́мени посла̀ ца́рь ста́рца (нѣ́коего) а҆ѳине́анина понꙋжда́ти і҆ꙋдє́й, дабы̀ ѿстꙋпи́ли ѿ ѻ҆те́ческихъ преда́нїй и҆ по бжⷭ҇твєннымъ зако́нѡмъ не жи́телствовали, |
|

|
| and to pollute also the temple in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius; and that in Garizim, of Jupiter the defender of strangers, as they did desire that dwelt in the place. | ѡ҆скверни́ти же и҆ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ хра́мъ и҆ нарещѝ ді́а ѻ҆лѷмпі́йскагѡ, и҆ сꙋ́щїй въ гарїзі́нѣ, ꙗ҆́коже ѡ҆бита́ющїи бѧ́хꙋ на мѣ́стѣ ѻ҆́нѣмъ, ді́а страннопрїи́мца. |

| The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to the people: | Лю́то же и҆ всемꙋ̀ наро́дꙋ бѣ̀ и тѧ́жко нападе́нїе ѕло́бы, |
|

|
| for the temple was filled with riot and revelling by the Gentiles, who dallied with harlots, and had to do with women within the circuit of the holy places, and besides that brought in things that were not lawful. | и҆́бо це́рковь любодѣѧ́нїѧ и҆ козлогласова́нїѧ бѣ̀ полна̀ ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ живꙋ́щихъ со блꙋдни́цами и҆ во свѧще́нныхъ притво́рѣхъ къ жена́мъ приближа́ющихсѧ и҆ неподѡба́ющаѧ внꙋ́трь вносѧ́щихъ. |
|

|
| The altar also was filled with profane things, which the law forbiddeth. | Ѻ҆лта́рь та́кожде по́лнъ бѣ̀ возбране́нными ѿ зако́нѡвъ. |

|
| Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sabbath days or ancient feasts, or to profess himself at all to be a Jew. | Бѧ́ше же не возмо́жио сꙋббѡ́тъ храни́ти, ни пра́здникѡвъ ѻ҆те́ческихъ содержа́ти, нижѐ весьма̀ комꙋ̀ себѐ і҆ꙋде́аниномъ и҆менова́ти. |

|
| And in the day of the king's birth every month they were brought by bitter constraint to eat of the sacrifices; and when the feast of Bacchus was kept, the Jews were compelled to go in procession to Bacchus, carrying ivy. | Ведѧ́хꙋжесѧ съ го́рькою нꙋжде́ю на всѧ́къ мцⷭ҇ъ въ де́нь рожде́нїѧ царе́ва въ же́ртвѣ: бы́вшꙋ же дїоно́совꙋ пра́здникꙋ, понꙋжда́хꙋсѧ і҆ꙋде́є кі́ссы и҆мꙋ́ще хвали́ти дїонѵ́са. |

|
| Moreover there went out a decree to the neighbour cities of the heathen, by the suggestion of Ptolemee, against the Jews, that they should observe the same fashions, and be partakers of their sacrifices: | Повелѣ́нїе же и҆зы́де въ бли̑жнїѧ гра́ды є҆́ллинскїѧ, птоломе́ю под̾ꙋсти́вшꙋ, да тогѡ́жде оу҆ставле́нїѧ проти́вꙋ і҆ꙋде́євъ оу҆потреблѧ́ютъ, и҆ же́ртвꙋ прино́сѧтъ, |
|

|

|
| and whoso would not conform themselves to the manners of the Gentiles should be put to death. Then might a man have seen the present misery. | не и҆зволѧ́ющихъ же прейтѝ на є҆́ллинскїѧ оу҆ста́вы да оу҆бива́ютъ: бѣ̀ оу҆̀бо ви́дѣти настоѧ́щꙋю бѣ́дность. |
|

|

|
| For there were two women brought, who had circumcised their children; whom when they had openly led round about the city, the babes hanging at their breasts, they cast them down headlong from the wall. | Двѣ̀ бо жєны̀ ѡ҆клевєта́ны бы́стѣ ѡ҆брѣ́завшыѧ ча̑да своѧ̑: си́хъ привѣ́сивше и҆́ма къ сосца́мъ младе́нцы и҆ пред̾ наро́домъ ѡ҆бводи́вше и҆̀хъ по гра́дꙋ, со стѣны̀ сверго́ша. |
|
11
|

|
| And others, that had run together into caves near by, to keep the sabbath day secretly, being discovered to Philip, were all burnt together, because they made a conscience to help themselves for the honour of the most sacred day. | И҆ні́и же въ бли̑жнїѧ сте́кшесѧ пещє́ры, та́йнѡ де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный пра́здновати, є҆гда̀ возвѣ́щено бы́сть фїлі́ппꙋ, сожже́ни бы́ша, занѐ ра́ди че́сти пра́здничнагѡ днѐ боѧ́хꙋсѧ помога́ти себѣ̀. |
|

|
| Now I beseech those that read this book, that they be not discouraged for these calamities, but that they judge those punishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of our nation. | Молю̀ оу҆̀бо чтꙋ́щихъ кни́гꙋ сїю̀ не оу҆страша́тисѧ напа́стей, мнѣ́ти же мꙋчє́їѧ сїѧ̑ не къ погꙋбле́нїю, но къ наказа́нїю ро́да на́шегѡ бы́ти. |
|
13
|

|
| For it is a token of his great goodness, when wicked doers are not suffered any longer time, but forthwith punished. | И҆́бо на мно́го вре́мѧ не попꙋска́ти ѕлоче́ствꙋющымъ, но а҆́бїе впа́дати и҆̀мъ въ мꙋчє́нїѧ, вели́кагѡ благодѣѧ́нїѧ є҆́сть зна́менїе. |
|
14
|
14
|
| For not as with other nations, whom the Lord patiently forbeareth to punish, till they be come to the fulness of their sins, so dealeth he with us, | Не бо̀ ꙗ҆́коже на и҆́ныхъ ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ жде́тъ долготерпѣли́вый влⷣка, до́ндеже дости́гшихъ ко и҆сполне́нїю грѣхѡ́въ мꙋ́читъ, та́кѡ и҆ на на́съ сꙋдѝ бы́ти: |
|
15
|
15
|
| lest that, being come to the height of sin, afterwards he should take vengeance of us. | да не до конца̀ дости́гшымъ грѣхѡ́мъ на́шымъ, послѣдѝ на́мъ ѿмсти́тъ. |
|
16
|
16
|
| And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us: and though he punish with adversity, yet doth he never forsake his people. | Сегѡ̀ ра́ди никогда́же ѿ на́съ млⷭ҇рдїе своѐ ѿе́млетъ: наказꙋ́ѧй же бѣ́дствами не ѡ҆ставлѧ́етъ люді́й свои́хъ. |
|
17
|
17
|
| But let this that we have spoken be for a warning unto us. And now will we come to the declaring of the matter in a few words. | Но сїѧ̑ ко оу҆вѣща́нїю на́мъ речє́на сꙋ́ть: ма́лыми же подоба́етъ вни́ти въ по́вѣсть. |
|

|
| Eleazar, one of the principal scribes, an aged man, and of a well-favoured countenance, was constrained to open his mouth, and to eat swine's flesh. | Є҆леаза́ръ нѣ́кїй ѿ пе́рвенствꙋющихъ кни́жникѡвъ, мꙋ́жъ оу҆жѐ соста́рѣвсѧ лѣ́тами и҆ зра́комъ лица̀ благолѣ́пенъ сы́й, ѿве́рстыми оу҆сты̑ принꙋжда́емь бѧ́ше ꙗ҆́сти свина̑ѧ мѧса̀. |
|
19
|
19
|
| But he, choosing rather to die gloriously, than to live stained with such an abomination, spit it forth, and came of his own accord to the torment. | Ѻ҆́нъ же со сла́вою сме́рть па́че, не́жели ненави́стный живо́тъ пред̾избра́въ, во́лею и҆дѧ́ше на мꙋ́кꙋ: |
|
20
|
20
|
| As it behoved them to come, that are resolute to stand out against such things as are not lawful for love of life to be tasted. | плю́нꙋвъ же (на та̑ѧ), и҆́мже ѡ҆́бразомъ подоба́ше приходи́ти хотѧ́щымъ терпѣ́ти мꙋче́нїе, ꙗ҆̀же не лѣ́ть бѣ̀ ꙗ҆́сти ра́ди любле́нїѧ живота̀. |
|
21
|
21
|
| But they that had the charge of that wicked feast, for the old acquaintance they had with the man, taking him aside, besought him to bring flesh of his own provision, such as was lawful for him to use, and make as if he did eat of the flesh taken from the sacrifice commanded by the king; | Ко беззако́ннѣй же приста́вленнїи же́ртвѣ, дре́внѧгѡ ра́ди къ мꙋ́жꙋ зна́нїѧ, взе́мше є҆го̀ на є҆ди́нѣ молѧ́хꙋ, да принесє́наѧ мѧса̀, ꙗ҆̀же ꙗ҆́сти є҆мꙋ̀ лѣ́ть бѧ́ше, є҆гѡ̀ ра́ди оу҆готѡ́вана, притвори́тъ себѐ а҆́ки ꙗ҆дꙋ́ща повелѣ̑ннаѧ ѿ царѧ̀ же́ртвєннаѧ мѧса̀: |
|
22
|
22
|
| that in so doing he might be delivered from death, and for the old friendship with them find favour. | да сїѐ содѣ́лавъ и҆зба́витсѧ ѿ сме́рти и҆ дре́внїѧ ра́ди къ ни̑мъ дрꙋ́жбы полꙋ́читъ человѣколю́бїе. |
|
23
|

|
| But he began to consider discreetly, and as became his age, and the excellency of his ancient years, and the honour of his gray head, whereunto he was come, and his most honest education from a child, or rather the holy law made and given by God: therefore he answered accordingly, and willed them straightways to send him to the grave. | Ѻ҆́нъ же мы́сль бла́гꙋ воспрїе́мь и҆ досто́йнꙋ во́зраста и҆ ста́рости преимꙋ́щества, и҆ пристѧжа́ныѧ лѣ́потныѧ сѣди́ны и҆ и҆здѣ́тска предо́брагѡ воспита́нїѧ, па́че же ст҃а́гѡ и҆ бг҃ода́ннагѡ зако́на, послѣ́довнѡ ѿвѣща̀, ско́рѡ глаго́лѧ: и҆зволѧ́ю по́сланъ бы́ти во а҆́дъ, |
|
24
|
24
|
| For it becometh not our age, said he, in any wise to dissemble, whereby many young persons might think that Eleazar, being fourscore years old and ten, were now gone to a strange religion; | не бо̀ во́зрастꙋ на́шемꙋ досто́йно є҆́сть лицемѣ́рити, да мно́зи ѿ ю҆́ныхъ непщꙋ́юще є҆леаза́ра девѧтидесѧтилѣ́тна прейтѝ къ жи́телствꙋ и҆ноплеме́нныхъ, |
|
25
|
25
|
| and so they through mine hypocrisy, and desire to live a little time and a moment longer, should be deceived by me, and I get a stain to mine old age, and make it abominable. | и҆ ѻ҆нѝ моегѡ̀ ра́ди лицемѣ́рїѧ и҆ маловре́меннагѡ живота̀ прельстѧ́тсѧ менє̀ ра́ди, и҆ не́нависть и҆ поро́къ ста́ростимое́й сотворю̀: |
|
26
|
26
|
| For though for the present time I should be delivered from the punishment of men: yet should I not escape the hand of the Almighty, neither alive, nor dead. | а҆́ще бо ны́нѣшнїѧ мꙋ́ки человѣ́ческїѧ и҆ и҆зба́влюсѧ, но рꙋкѝ всемогꙋ́щагѡ ни жи́въ, ни оу҆ме́рый и҆збѣгꙋ̀: |
|
27
|
27
|
| Wherefore now, manfully changing this life, I will shew myself such an one as mine age requireth, | тѣ́мже мꙋ́жественнѣ нн҃ѣ разлꙋчи́всѧ живота̀, ста́рости оу҆́бѡ досто́инъ ꙗ҆влю́сѧ, |
|
28
|
28
|
| and leave a notable example to such as be young to die willingly and courageously for the honourable and holy laws. And when he had said these words, immediately he went to the torment: | ю҆́нымъ же ѡ҆́бразъ до́блїй ѡ҆ста́влю, є҆́же оу҆се́рднѡ и҆ до́бльственнѡ за чєстны́ѧ и҆ свѧты̑ѧ зако́ны оу҆мира́ти. И҆ сїѧ̑ ре́къ, со тща́нїемъ на мꙋ́кꙋ по́йде. |
|
29
|
29
|
| they that led him changing the good will they bare him a little before into hatred, because the foresaid speeches proceeded, as they thought, from a desperate mind. | Ведꙋ́щїи же є҆го̀, бы́вшꙋю ма́лѡ пре́жде благопрїѧ́тность къ немꙋ̀ въ свирѣ́пость премѣни́ша предрѣче́нныхъ ра́ди слове́съ, ꙗ҆̀же сі́и мнѧ́хꙋ безꙋ́мство бы́ти. |
|
30
|
30
|
| But when he was ready to die with stripes, he groaned, and said, It is manifest unto the Lord, that hath the holy knowledge, that whereas I might have been delivered from death, I now endure sore pains in body by being beaten: but in soul am well content to suffer these things, because I fear him. | Хотѧ́ же ра́нами сконча́тисѧ, возстена́въ речѐ: гдⷭ҇еви ст҃ы́й ра́зꙋмъ и҆мꙋ́щемꙋ ꙗ҆́вно є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ сме́рти могꙋ́щь и҆зба́витисѧ, же́стѡкїѧ терплю̀ на тѣ́лѣ бѡлѣ́зни оу҆ѧзвлѧ́емь, на дꙋши́ же сла́дцѣ стра́ха ра́ди є҆гѡ̀ сїѧ̑ стра́ждꙋ. |
|
31
|
31
|
| And thus this man died, leaving his death for an example of a noble courage, and a memorial of virtue, not only unto young men, but unto all his nation. | И҆ се́й оу҆̀бо си́мъ ѡ҆́бразомъ живо́тъ сконча̀, не то́кмѡ ю҆́ношамъ, но и҆ премнѡ́гимъ ꙗ҆зы́ка свою̀ сме́рть во ѡ҆́бразъ до́блести и҆ въ памѧть добродѣ́тели ѡ҆ста́вивъ. |
