¹

And it came to pass, while the lion spake these words unto the eagle, I beheld,

¹

И҆ бы́сть, є҆гда̀ глаго́лаше ле́въ словеса̀ сїѧ̑ ко ѻ҆рлꙋ̀, и҆ ви́дѣхъ:

²

and, lo, the head that remained appeared no more, and the two wings which went over unto it arose and set themselves up to reign, and their kingdom was small, and full of uproar.

²

и҆ сѐ, ꙗ҆́же ѡ҆ста̀ глава̀, и҆ не ꙗ҆ви́шасѧ четы́ри кри́ла ѡ҆́наѧ, ꙗ҆̀же къ немꙋ̀ преидо́ша и҆ воздвиго́шасѧ да ца́рствꙋютъ, и҆ бѧ́ше ца́рство и҆́хъ скꙋ́дно и҆ молвы̀ по́лно.

³

And I beheld, and, lo, they appeared no more, and the whole body of the eagle was burnt, so that the earth was in great fear: then awoke I by reason of great ecstasy of mind, and from great fear, and said unto my spirit,

³

И҆ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сѐ, та̑ не ꙗ҆влѧ́хꙋсѧ, и҆ всѐ тѣ́ло ѻ҆́рлее возжига́шесѧ, и҆ оу҆страши́сѧ землѧ̀ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ а҆́зъ ѿ молвы̀ и҆ оу҆́жаса оу҆ма̀ и҆ ѿ вели́ка стра́ха воспрѧнꙋ́хъ и҆ рѣ́хъ дꙋ́хꙋ моемꙋ̀:

⁴

Lo, this hast thou done unto me, in that thou searchest out the ways of the Most High.

⁴

сѐ, ты̀ по́далъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀ то̀ въ то́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆спытꙋ́еши пꙋти̑ вы́шнѧгѡ:

⁵

Lo, I am yet weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit; nor is there the least strength in me, for the great fear wherewith I was affrighted this night.

⁵

сѐ, є҆щѐ оу҆трꙋжде́нъ є҆́смь дꙋше́ю и҆ дꙋ́хомъ мои́мъ и҆знемого́хъ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ нижѐ ма́лаѧ є҆́сть во мнѣ̀ си́ла ѿ мно́жества боѧ́зни, є҆́юже оу҆страши́хсѧ но́щи сеѧ̀:

⁶

Therefore will I now beseech the Most High, that he will strengthen me unto the end.

⁶

нн҃ѣ оу҆́бѡ помолю́сѧ вы́шнемꙋ, да мѧ̀ оу҆крѣпи́тъ да́же до конца̀.

⁷

And I said, O Lord that bearest rule, if I have found favor in thy sight, and if I am justified with thee above many others, and if my prayer indeed be come up before thy face;

⁷

И҆ реко́хъ: влⷣко гдⷭ҇и, а҆́ще ѡ҆брѣто́хъ благода́ть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма, и҆ а҆́ще ѡ҆правда́нъ є҆́смь пред̾ тобо́ю па́че мно́гихъ, и҆ а҆́ще и҆́стиннѡ взы́де моле́нїе моѐ пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ,

⁸

strengthen me then, and show me thy servant the interpretation and plain meaning of this fearful vision, that thou mayest perfectly comfort my soul.

⁸

оу҆крѣпи́ мѧ и҆ ꙗ҆вѝ мнѣ̀ рабꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀ толкова́нїе и҆ раздѣле́нїе видѣ́нїѧ гро́знагѡ сегѡ̀, да соверше́ннѣе оу҆тѣ́шиши дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀:

⁹

For thou hast judged me worthy to show me the end of time and the last times.

⁹

досто́йна бо менѐ и҆мѣ́лъ є҆сѝ показа́ти мнѣ̀ времена̀ послѣ̑днѧѧ. И҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀:

¹⁰

And he said unto me, This is the interpretation of this vision which thou sawest:

¹⁰

сїѐ є҆́сть толкова́нїе видѣ́нїѧ сегѡ̀:

¹¹

The eagle, whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the fourth kingdom which appeared in vision to thy brother Daniel.

¹¹

ѻ҆рла̀ є҆го́же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ восходѧ́ща ѿ мо́рѧ, то̀ є҆́сть ца́рство, є҆́же ви́дѣно бы́сть въ видѣ́нїи данїи́ла бра́та твоегѡ̀,

¹²

But it was not expounded unto him, as I now expound it unto thee or have expounded it.

¹²

но нѣ́сть є҆мꙋ̀ протолко́вано, ꙗ҆̀же а҆́зъ нн҃ѣ тебѣ̀ протолкꙋ́ю.

¹³

Behold, the days come, that there shall rise up a kingdom upon earth, and it shall be feared above all the kingdoms that were before it.

¹³

Сѐ, дні́е грѧдꙋ́тъ, и҆ воста́нетъ ца́рство на землѝ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ боѧ́знь вѧ́щшаѧ всѣ̑мъ ца́рствѡмъ, ꙗ҆̀же бы́ша пре́жде є҆гѡ̀:

¹⁴

In the same shall twelve kings reign, one after another:

¹⁴

ца́рствовати же бꙋ́дꙋтъ на не́й ца́рїе двана́десѧть, є҆ди́нъ по є҆ди́номꙋ,

¹⁵

whereof the second shall begin to reign, and shall have a longer time than any of the twelve.

¹⁵

и҆́бо вторы́й начне́тъ ца́рствовати, и҆ то́й ѡ҆де́ржитъ вѧ́щшее вре́мѧ па́че двана́десѧти:

¹⁶

This is the interpretation of the twelve wings, which thou sawest.

¹⁶

сїѐ є҆́сть толкова́нїе двана́десѧти кри́лъ, ꙗ҆̀же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ.

¹⁷

And whereas thou heardest a voice which spake, not going out from the heads, but from the midst of the body thereof, this is the interpretation:

¹⁷

И҆ є҆гѡ́же слы́шалъ є҆сѝ гла́съ, и҆́же глаго́лаше, не ѿ гла́въ є҆гѡ̀ и҆сходѧ́щь, но ѿ среди́ны тѣ́ла є҆гѡ̀,

¹⁸

That after the time of that kingdom there shall arise no small contentions, and it shall stand in peril of falling: nevertheless it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to its first estate.

¹⁸

сїѐ є҆́сть толкова́нїе: ꙗ҆́кѡ по́слѣ вре́мене ца́рства тогѡ̀ родѧ́тсѧ рвє́нїѧ не ма̑ла, и҆ бѣ́дствовати и҆́мать, ꙗ҆́кѡ да паде́тъ, и҆ не паде́тъ тогда̀, но па́ки возста́витсѧ въ своѐ нача́ло:

¹⁹

And whereas thou sawest the eight under wings sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation:

¹⁹

а҆ ꙗ҆̀же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ подкри́лєцъ ѻ҆́смь прилѣплѧ́ющихсѧ кри́ламъ є҆гѡ̀,

²⁰

That in it there shall arise eight kings, whose times shall be but small, and their years swift.

²⁰

сїѐ є҆́сть толкова́нїе: воста́нꙋтъ въ то́мъ ѻ҆́смь царе́й, и҆́хже бꙋ́дꙋтъ времена̀ лє́гка и҆ лѣ̑та скѡ́раѧ, и҆ два̀ оу҆́бѡ ѿ ни́хъ поги́бнꙋтъ:

²¹

And two of them shall perish, when the middle time approacheth: four shall be kept for a while until the time of the ending thereof shall approach: but two shall be kept unto the end.

²¹

приближа́ющꙋсѧ же вре́мени сре́днемꙋ, четы́ри сохранѧ́тсѧ во вре́мѧ, є҆гда̀ начне́тъ приближа́тисѧ вре́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ да сконча́етсѧ, дво́е же на коне́цъ сохранѧ́тсѧ.

²²

And whereas thou sawest three heads resting, this is the interpretation:

²²

А҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ трѝ главы̑ поко́ѧщыѧсѧ,

²³

In the last days thereof shall the Most High raise up three kingdoms, and renew many things therein, and they shall bear rule over the earth,

²³

сїѐ є҆́сть толкова́нїе: въ послѣ̑днѧѧ є҆гѡ̀ воздви́гнетъ вы́шнїй трѝ ца̑рства и҆ призове́тъ въ нѧ̀ мно́гихъ, и҆ поѡблада́ютъ земле́ю:

²⁴

and over those that dwell therein, with much oppression, above all those that were before them: therefore are they called the heads of the eagle.

²⁴

и҆ и҆̀же ѡ҆бита́ютъ на не́й, съ трꙋдо́мъ мно́гимъ на всѣ́хъ, и҆̀же бы́ша пре́жде си́хъ, сегѡ̀ ра́ди ті́и назва́ни сꙋ́ть главы̑ ѡ҆́рли:

²⁵

For these are they that shall accomplish her wickedness, and that shall finish her last end.

²⁵

сі́и бо бꙋ́дꙋтъ, и҆̀же воз̾ѡглавѧ́тъ нечє́стїѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ и҆̀же соверша́тъ послѣ̑днѧѧ є҆гѡ̀.

²⁶

And whereas thou sawest that the great head appeared no more, it signifieth that one of them shall die upon his bed, and yet with pain.

²⁶

А҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ главꙋ̀ болшꙋ́ю неѧвлѧ́ющꙋюсѧ, сїѐ є҆́сть толкова́нїе є҆ѧ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ди́нъ ѿ ни́хъ на ѻ҆дрѣ̀ свое́мъ оу҆́мретъ, но ѻ҆ба́че съ мꙋче́нїемъ,

²⁷

But for the two that remained, the sword shall devour them.

²⁷

и҆́бо два̀, и҆̀же пребꙋ́дꙋтъ, ме́чь и҆̀хъ поѧ́стъ:

²⁸

For the sword of the one shall devour him that was with him: but he also shall fall by the sword in the last days.

²⁸

є҆ди́нагѡ бо ме́чь поѧ́стъ сꙋ́щихъ съ ни́мъ, но ѻ҆ба́че и҆ се́й мече́мъ на послѣ́докъ паде́тъ.

²⁹

And whereas thou sawest two under wings passing over unto the head that is on the right side,

²⁹

А҆ ꙗ҆̀же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ два̀ подкри̑лїѧ восхѡдѧ́щаѧ на главꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть ѡ҆ деснꙋ́ю странꙋ̀,

³⁰

this is the interpretation: These are they, whom the Most High hath kept unto his end: this is the small kingdom and full of trouble, as thou sawest.

³⁰

сїѐ є҆́сть толкова́нїе: сі́и сꙋ́ть, и҆̀хже соблюдѐ вы́шнїй въ коне́цъ сво́й, то̀ є҆́сть ца́рство скꙋ́дное и҆ скорбе́й по́лно.

³¹

And the lion, whom thou sawest rising up out of the wood, and roaring, and speaking to the eagle, and rebuking her for her unrighteousness, and all her words which thou hast heard;

³¹

Ꙗ҆́коже ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ и҆ льва̀, є҆го́же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ ѿ лѣ́са возбꙋди́вшасѧ, рыка́юща и҆ глаго́люща ко ѻ҆рлꙋ̀, и҆ ѡ҆блича́юща є҆го̀ и҆ непра̑вды є҆гѡ̀ всѣ́ми словесы̀ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́коже слы́шалъ є҆сѝ:

³²

this is the anointed one, whom the Most High hath kept unto the end of days, who shall spring up out of the seed of David, and he shall come and speak unto them and reprove them for their wickedness and unrighteousness, and shall heap up before them their contemptuous dealings.

³²

се́й є҆́сть вѣ́тръ, є҆го́же сохрани́лъ вы́шнїй на коне́цъ на ни́хъ и҆ на нечє́стїѧ и҆́хъ, и҆ ѡ҆бличи́тъ тѣ́хъ и҆ ѡ҆б̾ѧви́тъ пред̾ тѣ́ми пре́лєсти и҆́хъ,

³³

For at the first he shall set them alive in his judgment, and when he hath reproved them, he shall destroy them.

³³

поста́витъ бо и҆̀хъ на сꙋдѣ̀ живы́хъ: и҆ бꙋ́детъ, є҆гда̀ ѡ҆бличи́тъ и҆̀хъ, тогда̀ нака́жетъ и҆̀хъ:

³⁴

For the rest of my people shall he deliver with mercy, those that have been preserved throughout my borders, and he shall make them joyful until the coming of the end, even the day of judgment, whereof I have spoken unto thee from the beginning.

³⁴

и҆́бо ѡ҆ста́нокъ люді́й мои́хъ и҆зба́витъ съ бѣ́дностїю, и҆̀же сохране́ни сꙋ́ть на конца́хъ мои́хъ, и҆ оу҆блажи́тъ и҆̀хъ, до́ндеже прїи́детъ коне́цъ де́нь сꙋда̀, ѡ҆ не́мже гл҃ахъ тебѣ̀ ѿ нача́ла.

³⁵

This is the dream that thou sawest, and this is the interpretation thereof:

³⁵

Се́й со́нъ, є҆го́же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ, и҆ сїѧ̑ сꙋ́ть толкова̑нїѧ.

³⁶

and thou only hast been meet to know the secret of the Most High.

³⁶

Ты̀ оу҆̀бо є҆ди́нъ досто́инъ бы́лъ є҆сѝ зна́ти та́йнꙋ сїю̀ вы́шнѧгѡ:

³⁷

Therefore write all these things that thou hast seen in a book, and put them in a secret place:

³⁷

напишѝ оу҆́бѡ всѧ̑ сїѧ̑ въ кни́гꙋ, ꙗ҆̀же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ, и҆ положѝ ѧ҆̀ въ мѣ́стѣ сохра́ннѣ,

³⁸

and thou shalt teach them to the wise of thy people, whose hearts thou knowest are able to comprehend and keep these secrets.

³⁸

и҆ наꙋчи́ши си̑мъ мꙋ̑дрыѧ ѿ люді́й твои́хъ, и҆́хже сердца̀ вѣ́си, ꙗ҆́кѡ мо́гꙋтъ прїѧ́ти и҆ храни́ти та̑йны сїѧ̑:

³⁹

But wait thou here thyself yet seven days more, that there may be shown unto thee whatsoever it pleaseth the Most High to show thee. And he departed from me.

³⁹

ты́ же є҆щѐ потерпѝ здѣ̀ и҆ны́хъ дні́й се́дмь, да тебѣ̀ пока́зано бꙋ́детъ всѐ, є҆́же и҆зво́литсѧ вы́шнемꙋ показа́ти тебѣ̀. И҆ ѿи́де ѿ менє̀.

⁴⁰

And it came to pass, when all the people saw that the seven days were past, and I had not come again into the city, they gathered them all together, from the least unto the greatest, and came unto me, and spake to me, saying,

⁴⁰

И҆ бы́сть, є҆гда̀ оу҆слы́ша ве́сь наро́дъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ проидо́ша се́дмь дні́й, и҆ а҆́зъ не возврати́хсѧ во гра́дъ, и҆ собра́шасѧ всѝ ѿ ме́ншагѡ да́же до бо́лшагѡ, и҆ прїидо́ша ко мнѣ̀ и҆ реко́ша мѝ, глаго́люще:

⁴¹

What have we offended thee? and what evil have we done against thee, that thou hast utterly forsaken us, and sittest in this place?

⁴¹

что̀ согрѣши́ли є҆смы̀ тебѣ̀ и҆ что̀ непра́во содѣ́ѧхомъ на тѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ставлѧ́ѧй на́съ сѣ́лъ є҆сѝ на мѣ́стѣ то́мъ;

⁴²

For of all the prophets thou only art left us, as a cluster of the vintage, and as a lamp in a dark place, and as a haven for a ship saved from the tempest.

⁴²

ты́ бо на́мъ ѡ҆ста́лсѧ є҆сѝ є҆ди́нъ ѿ всѣ́хъ люді́й, ꙗ҆́коже гро́здъ ѿ вїногра́да и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ свѣти́лникъ въ мѣ́стѣ мра́чнѣ и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ приста́нище и҆ кора́бль спасе́ный ѿ бꙋ́ри:

⁴³

Are not the evils which are come to us sufficient?

⁴³

и҆лѝ недовѡ́лна на́мъ сꙋ́ть ѕла̑ѧ, ꙗ҆̀же приключа́ютсѧ;

⁴⁴

If thou shalt forsake us, how much better had it been for us, if we also had been consumed in the burning of Zion!

⁴⁴

а҆́ще оу҆̀бо ты̀ на́съ ѡ҆ста́виши, ко́ль лꙋ́чше бы на́мъ бы́ло, а҆́ще бы́хомъ сожже́ни бы́ли и҆ мы̀ съ сожже́нїемъ сїѡ́на;

⁴⁵

For we are not better than they that died there. And they wept with a loud voice. And I answered them, and said,

⁴⁵

нижѐ бо мы̀ є҆смы̀ лꙋ́чши тѣ́хъ, и҆̀же та́мѡ оу҆мро́ша. И҆ пла́каша гла́сомъ вели́кимъ. И҆ ѡ҆вѣща́хъ къ ни̑мъ и҆ реко́хъ:

⁴⁶

Be of good comfort, O Israel; and be not sorrowful, thou house of Jacob:

⁴⁶

оу҆пова́й, і҆и҃лю, и҆ не скорбѝ ты̀, до́ме і҆а́кѡвль:

⁴⁷

for the Most High hath you in remembrance, and the Mighty hath not forgotten you forever.

⁴⁷

є҆́сть бо па́мѧть ѡ҆ ва́съ пред̾ вы́шнимъ, и҆ крѣ́пкїй не забы̀ ва́съ въ напа́сти:

⁴⁸

As for me, I have not forsaken you, neither am I departed from you: but am come into this place, to pray for the desolation of Zion, and that I might seek mercy for the low estate of your sanctuary.

⁴⁸

а҆́зъ бо не ѡ҆ста́вихъ ва́съ, ни ѿидо́хъ ѿ ва́съ, но прїидо́хъ на сїѐ мѣ́сто, да помолю́сѧ ѡ҆ разоре́нїи сїѡ́на, да взыщꙋ̀ млⷭ҇рдїе за смире́нїе ст҃ы́ни ва́шеѧ:

⁴⁹

And now go your way every man to his own house, and after these days will I come unto you.

⁴⁹

и҆ нн҃ѣ и҆ди́те є҆ди́нъ кі́йждо въ до́мъ сво́й, и҆ а҆́зъ прїидꙋ̀ къ ва́мъ по дне́хъ си́хъ.

⁵⁰

So the people went their way into the city, like as I said unto them:

⁵⁰

И҆ ѿи́де наро́дъ, ꙗ҆́коже реко́хъ є҆мꙋ̀, во гра́дъ:

⁵¹

but I sat in the field seven days, as the angel commanded me; and in those days I did eat only of the flowers of the field, and had my meat of the herbs.

⁵¹

а҆́зъ же сѣдо́хъ на по́ли се́дмь дні́й, ꙗ҆́коже мѝ повелѣ̀, и҆ ꙗ҆до́хъ то́кмѡ ѿ цвѣтѡ́въ се́лныхъ, и҆ ѿ тра́въ сотворена̀ бы́сть мнѣ̀ пи́ща во дне́хъ тѣ́хъ.
