¹

And it came to pass the second night that I saw a dream, and, behold, there came up from the sea an eagle, which had twelve feathered wings, and three heads.

¹

И$ ви'дњхъ со'нъ и^ с^е въсхожа'ше эT мо'ря ѓ^релъ е^мђже бя'хђ, в~і, кри'лъ пернатыX и^ главы` тр^и”

²

And I saw, and, behold, she spread her wings over all the earth, and all the winds of heaven blew on her, and the clouds were gathered together against her.

²

И$ ви'дњхъ и^ с^е простира'ше кри'лњ свои` на все'и земли`, и^ вс^и вњтри нбsнїи надыхахђ в него` и^ собира'хђся”

³

And I beheld, and out of her wings there grew other wings over against them; and they became little wings and small.

³

И$ ви'дњхъ и^ эT пе'рїя е^го родяхђся сђпротивъ перїе, и^ тїи сътворя'хђ в пер#натыхъ дро'бныхъ и^ малыX,

⁴

But her heads were at rest: the head in the midst was greater than the other heads, yet rested it with them.

⁴

і^ и^же гла'вы его бя'ше поко'ини, и^ среDняя глава` бы'сть бо'лши и%нњхъ гла'въ, н^ота` покоя'шеся с ни'ми”

⁵

Moreover I beheld, and, lo, the eagle flew with her wings, to reign over the earth, and over them that dwell therein.

⁵

И$ ви'дXњ и^ се^ ѓ^релъ летя'ше на пњрїи свое^мъ. и^ црsтвова на' земли, и^ на живђщиX на не'и.

⁶

And I beheld how that all things under heaven were subject unto her, and no man spake against her, no, not one creature upon earth.

⁶

и^ ви'дњхъ ја%ко повиновена е^мђ бысть вся поDнбsая. и^ никто е^мђ противля'шеся. ни е^диn эT твари и^же е^сть на' земли”

⁷

And I beheld, and, lo, the eagle rose upon her talons, and uttered her voice to her wings, saying,

⁷

И$ ви'дњхъ и^ с^е воста` ѓ^релъ на но'кти свои`, и^ пђсти гла'съ перїемъ свои^мъ гл~ющи.

⁸

Watch not all at once: sleep every one in his own place, and watch by course:

⁸

не хо'щите вси` вкђпњ бди'ти, спњте е^ді'нъ ко'ждоже въ мњстњ свое^мъ и^ по время бди'те.

⁹

but let the heads be preserved for the last.

⁹

главы' же по'слњ да съхраняTся”

¹⁰

And I beheld, and, lo, the voice went not out of her heads, but from the midst of her body.

¹⁰

И$ ви'дњхъ, и^ с^е глаs не и^схожDа'ше эT главы` е^го, н^о эT среды тњла е^го,

¹¹

And I numbered her wings that were over against the other, and, behold, there were eight of them.

¹¹

и^ чтохъ проти'внїи перїа е^го и^ сихъ бя'ше ѓ%смь”

¹²

And I beheld, and, lo, on the right side there arose one wing, and reigned over all the earth;

¹²

И$ ви'дњх# и^ с^е ѓ^деснђю странђ` воста е^ді'но перо и^ црsтвова на все'и земли`”

¹³

and so it was, that when it reigned, the end of it came, and it appeared not, so that the place thereof appeared no more: and the next following rose up, and reigned, and it bare rule a great time;

¹³

И$ бысть е^гда` црsтвова'ше прїидетъ е^мђ конеw и^ не ја^ви'ся мњсто е^го, і^ и'но воста`, и^ црsтвова'ше, то'и мно'го дръжа вре'мя.

¹⁴

and it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it came also, so that it appeared no more, like as the first.

¹⁴

и^ бысть е^гда` црsтвова'ше и^ грядя'ше конецъ е^го. да не ја^ви'тся ја%ко прь'выи.

¹⁵

And, lo, there came a voice unto it, and said,

¹⁵

и^ с^е гла'съ эTпђщенъ томђ` гл~ющи”

¹⁶

Hear thou that hast borne rule over the earth all this time: this I proclaim unto thee, before thou shalt appear no more,

¹⁶

Слы'шите и^же толи'ко вре'мя дръжа'лъ е^си зе'млю. сїя завњща'ю тебњ` пре'же неже` начне'ши не ја^ви'тися,

¹⁷

There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither unto the half thereof.

¹⁷

нњкт^о потебњ въздеrжи'тъ время твое` н^о ни по'лъ е^го.

¹⁸

Then arose the third, and had the rule as the others before, and it also appeared no more.

¹⁸

и^ въздвижеся тре'тїи дръжа'ти кня'ѕьство ја%ко и^ прь'выи и^ не ја^ви'ся и^ то'и”

¹⁹

So went it with all the wings one after another, as that every one bare rule, and then appeared no more.

¹⁹

И$ та'ко слђча'шеся и^ всњхъ и%нњхъ и^ е^ді'нымъ кня'ѕьство носи'ти, и^ паки никогда` ја^ви'тися,

²⁰

And I beheld, and, lo, in process of time the wings that followed were set up upon the right side, that they might rule also; and some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no more:

²⁰

и^ ви'дњхъ и^ с^е въ вре'мя сњдя'щи пе'рїя въздвига'хђся ѓ^де'снђю странђ` да дръжаT и^ тїи кня'ѕьство, и^ эT тXњ бы'ша и^же дръжа'хђ, н^о ско'ро не ја^вля'хђся.

²¹

some also of them were set up, but ruled not.

²¹

и^же и^ нњкоторїи эT ни'хъ воздвига'хђся н^о не дръжахђ кня'зьства”

²²

After this I beheld, and, lo, the twelve wings appeared no more, nor two of the little wings:

²²

И ви'дњхъ посе'мъ, и^ с^е не ја^ви'шася, в~і, кри'лъ, и^ дв^а кри'лњта.

²³

and there was no more left upon the eagle’s body, but the three heads that rested, and six little wings.

²³

и ничто` бя'ше ѓ^ста'ло въ тњлњ ѓ^рли` токмо дв^њ главњ` поко'юща и^ ше'сть крилати”

²⁴

And I beheld, and, lo, two little wings divided themselves from the six, and remained under the head that was upon the right side: but four remained in their place.

²⁴

И$ ви'дњхъ и^ с^е ше'сть перна'тыхъ раздњле'ни сђть дво'е. и^ пребы'ша поD главо'ю чт^о е^сть на де'снњи странњ`. и^же четы'ре пребыва'ше въ мњ'стњ свое^мъ”

²⁵

And I beheld, and, lo, these under wings thought to set up themselves, and to have the rule.

²⁵

И$ ви'дњхъ и^ с^е сїя поDкри'лїа мышляхђ възDвигнђти и^ дръжа'ти княZство.

²⁶

And I beheld, and, lo, there was one set up, but within a while it appeared no more.

²⁶

И$ ви'дњхъ и^ с^е е^ді'на въздви'жена еs н^о ско'ро не ја^ви'ся.

²⁷

A second also, and it was sooner away than the first.

²⁷

и^ вто'рыя скорњ'ише неже пр'ьвїи не ја^ви'шася”

²⁸

And I beheld, and, lo, the two that remained thought also in themselves to reign:

²⁸

И$ ви'дњхъ и^ с^е дв^а и^же свы'ше къ себњ са'ми помышля'хђ и^ тїи` црsтвова'ти.

²⁹

and while they so thought, behold, there awoke one of the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in the midst; for that was greater than the two other heads.

²⁹

и^ в неM е^гDа помышля'хђ с^е е^ді'нъ покоющђ главђ`, и^же бысть среDнїи и^ въз#бня'ше. сїя б^о бысть двњма главаM бо'льшая”

³⁰

And I beheld how that it joined the two other heads with it.

³⁰

И$ ви'дњхъ ја^ко съвръше'ны сђть дв^њ главы` съ собо'ю,

³¹

And, behold, the head was turned with them that were with it, and did eat up the two under wings that thought to have reigned.

³¹

и^ с^е эTвраще'на е^сть глава` с тњми и^же с не'ю бяхђ. и^ снњдь дв^њ поDкрилята и^же помышляхђ црsтвова'ти”

³²

But this head held the whole earth in possession, and bare rule over those that dwell therein with much oppression; and it had the governance of the world more than all the wings that had been.

³²

Сїя же глава` ё^страши вс^ю зе'млю, и^ владя'ше на не'и тњмъ и^же ѓ^бладаюT землю съ трђ'достїю мно'гою. и^ си'л#ныхъ дръжа` селенїя зем#ская на всњхъ крилXњ и^же бы'ша”

³³

And after this I beheld, and, lo, the head also that was in the midst suddenly appeared no more, like as the wings.

³³

И$ ви'дњх# посемъ, и^ с^е поl главы` ско'ро не ја%ви'ся и^ т^о ја%ко кри'лњ.

³⁴

But there remained the two heads, which also in like sort reigned over the earth, and over those that dwell therein.

³⁴

эTлђчи'ша же ся дв^њ главы` и^же и^ т^њ та'коже црsтвова'шA на' земли и^ на ни'хъ и^же ѓ^бита'ютъ в не'мъ”

³⁵

And I beheld, and, lo, the head upon the right side devoured it that was upon the left side.

³⁵

И$ ви'дњхъ и^ с^е пожре` главђ` ѓ^деснђю странђ` и^же ѓ^шђ'юю”

³⁶

Then I heard a voice, which said unto me, Look before thee, and consider the thing that thou seest.

³⁶

И$ слы'шахъ глаs гл~ющъ м^и. зри` проти'въ тебе`. и^ знаменаи чт^о ё%зриши”

³⁷

And I beheld, and, lo, as it were a lion roused out of the wood roaring: and I heard how that he sent out a man’s voice unto the eagle, and spake, saying,

³⁷

И$ ви'дњхъ и^ с^е ја^ко левъ прогнњ'ванъ эT лњ'са ры'щђщъ. и^ ви'дњхъ ја%ко посыла'ше гла'съ члчsкїи къ ѓ^рлђ рекђщи”

³⁸

Hear thou, I will talk with thee, and the Most High shall say unto thee,

³⁸

Слы'ши т^ы и^ гл~ю тебњ, и^ речеT вы'шнїи тебњ.

³⁹

Art not thou it that remainest of the four beasts, whom I made to reign in my world, that the end of my times might come through them?

³⁹

н^и ли ты е^си и^же на и^звышилъ эT четы'реX животныхъ и^же сътвориX. црsтвова'ти въ вњцњ мое^мъ. и^ да по ниX прїидетъ конецъ вњка иX”

⁴⁰

And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts that were past, and held the world in governance with great trembling, and the whole compass of the earth with grievous oppression; and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit.

⁴⁰

И$ четвеrтыи грядђщи побњди'лъ вся` живо'тная и^же прїидо'ша. и^ си'лою дръжаl вњкъ съ трепетомъ мно'гимъ, и^ вс^ю вселеннђю съ трђ'достїю стропти'во всели'лся толи'кимъ вре'менемъ селенїи зем#скихъ с лестїю”

⁴¹

And thou hast judged the earth, but not with truth.

⁴¹

И$ сђди'лъ е^си зе'млю не съ и'стинною.

⁴²

For thou hast afflicted the meek, thou hast hurt the peaceable, thou hast hated them that speak truth, thou hast loved liars, and destroyed the dwellings of them that brought forth fruit, and cast down the walls of such as did thee no harm.

⁴²

смђтиl б^о е^си кро'т#кихъ. и^ възразилъ е^си поко'ющихъ. и^ възлюбилъ ло'жных# и^ разорилъ е^си жили'ща и^хъ и^же плодя'хђ. и^ смири'лъ е^си стњны иX и^же тебе` не побњди'ша”

⁴³

Therefore is thy insolent dealing come up unto the Most High, and thy pride unto the Mighty.

⁴³

И$ възыидетъ ё^коре'нїе твое к вы'шнемђ, и^ гордыня твоа` къ крњпкомђ.

⁴⁴

The Most High also hath looked upon his times, and, behold, they are ended, and his ages are fulfilled.

⁴⁴

и^ възрњ вы'шнїи го'рдая времена`. и^ с^е сконча'на сђть, и^ безако'нїя е^го съвръше'на сђть”

⁴⁵

And therefore appear no more, thou eagle, nor thy horrible wings, nor thy evil little wings, nor thy cruel heads, nor thy hurtful talons, nor all thy vain body:

⁴⁵

Сего ради не ја^ви'ся т^ы ѓ^реl и^ кри'лњ твои` гро'зныя, и^ криля'та твоа` стропти'выя и^ гла'вы твоа лђкавыа, и^ нокти твоа строптивыя, и^ вс^е тњлотвое` сђе'тное

⁴⁶

that all the earth may be refreshed, and be eased, being delivered from thy violence, and that she may hope for the judgment and mercy of him that made her.

⁴⁶

дабы ся прохлади'ла вс^я земля`, и^ ѓ^братилася свобоDна эT твое'я си'лы. и^ ё^поваеT сђдїи млsрдїю е^го и^же сътвори е'й”
