| Wherever this decree was received, the people kept up a revelry of joy and shouting; as if their long-pent-up, hardened hatred, were now to shew itself openly. | И# вездЁ, и3дёже пріи1де сіE повелёніе, нар0днэ составлsшесz kзhкwмъ ќбw пи1ръ съ восклицaньми и3 рaдостію, ѓки бы заматерёлаz и3здрeвле въ мhсли и4хъ, нн7э съ дeрзостію kвлsласz враждA: |

| The Jews suffered great throes of sorrow, and wept much; while their hearts, all things around being lamentable, were set on fire as they bewailed the sudden destruction which was decreed against them. | їудewмъ же бsше непрестаю1щь плaчь и3 ѕэлw2 рыдaтеленъ со слезaми в0пль, стенaньми сожжeнну сyщу сeрдцу и4хъ tвсю1ду, рыдaющихъ њ нечazннэй внезaпу ўстaвленнэй на ни1хъ поги1бели. |

| What home, or city, or place at all inhabited, or what streets were there, which their condition did not fill with wailing and lamentation? | Кaz странA и3ли2 грaдъ, и3ли2 к0е весьмA њбитaемое мёсто, и3ли2 к‡z стHгны плaча и3 рыдaніz њ ни1хъ не наполнsхусz; |

| They were sent out unanimously by the generals in the several cities, with such stern and pitiless feeling, that the exceptional nature of the infliction moved even some of their enemies. These, influenced by sentiments of common humanity, and reflecting upon the uncertain issue of life, shed tears at this their miserable expulsion. | Си1це бо съ г0рькою и3 немилосeрдою душeю t страти1гwвъ сyщихъ по градHмъ є3динодyшнw и3зсылaеми бsху (ко царю2), ћкw њ неwбhчныхъ мучeніихъ, и3 нёцыи t врагHвъ взeмлюще пред8 nчесA џбщую бёдность и3 помышлsюще неизвёстную житіS и3змёну, (да не когдA и3 и5мъ случи1тсz сіE,) плaкаху њ пребёдственнэмъ и4хъ и3зслaніи. |

| A multitude of aged hoary-haired men, were driven along with halting bending feet, urged onward by the impulse of a violent, shameless force to quick speed. | Вед0мо бо бsше престарёлыхъ мн0жество сэди1нами ўкрaшенныхъ, рaди бhвшагw t стaрости коснeніz н0гъ слsченыхъ, за наси1льное и3згнaніе стремлeніz, без8 всsкагw студA ѕлоупотреблsющихъ ко ск0рому шeствію. |

| Girls who had entered the bridal chamber quite lately, to enjoy the partnership of marriage, exchanged pleasure for misery; and with dust scattered upon their myrrh-anointed heads, were hurried along unveiled, and, in the midst of outlandish insults, set up with one accord a lamentable cry in lieu of the marriage hymn. | Тaкожде и3 недaвнw сочетaвшыzсz къ житіS соwбщeнію, въ брaчный вшeдшыz черт0гъ nтрокови6цы, вмёстw весeліz взeмшz плaчь, и3 прaхомъ мmроух†нныz власы2 посhпавшz, непокровє1ны же ведHмы, рыдaніе вмёстw пёсней брaчныхъ є3динодyшнw начинaху, ѓки растє1рзаны и3ноязhчныхъ мучeніемъ, и3 св‰заны нар0днэ влекHмы бhша съ нyждею дaже до ввержeніz въ корaбль. |

| Bound, and exposed to public gaze, they were hurried violently on board ship. | Супрyзи же си1хъ въ цвэтyщемъ ю4ношестэмъ в0зрастэ, ќжами вмёстw вэнцє1въ на шjzхъ њплетeни, вмёстw пи1ршества и3 ю4ношескагw ўпокоeніz пр0чыz дни6 брaка въ рыдaніихъ провождaху, при ногaхъ ўжE ви1дzще ѓдъ лежaщь. |

| The husbands of these, in the prime of their youthful vigour, instead of crowns wore halters round their necks; instead of feasting and youthful jollity, spent the rest of their nuptial days in wailings, and saw only the grave at hand. | Ведeни же бhша ѕвэри1нымъ w4бразомъ, влек0ми во ќзахъ желёзныхъ нyждныхъ: и3 џви ќбw къ сэдaлищємъ корaблєнымъ пригвождeни бhша шjzми, и3нjи же за н0ги нерастeрзными пyтами ўкрэплeни, є3щe же и3 свeрху чaстыми дщи1цами њбложeнными t свёта заключeни, ћкw да tвсю1ду помрачeни nчесы2, поведeніе ѓки навBтницы во всeмъ плaваніи и3мёютъ. |

| They were dragged along by unyielding chains, like wild beasts: of these, some had their necks thrust into the benches of the rowers; while the feet of others were enclosed in hard fetters. | Си6мъ же на глаг0лемую ладію2 приведє1нымъ бhвшымъ, и3 плaванію соверши1вшусz, ћкоже бЁ повелёно t царS, повелЁ и5хъ пред8 грaдомъ на конористaтелнэмъ мёстэ постaвити, на вели1цэмъ прострaнствэ, и3 на поругaніе вельми2 ўг0днэмъ всBмъ входsщымъ во грaдъ, тaкожде и3 tтyду во странY посылaємымъ ко и3зшeствію: да нижE съ в0zми є3гw2 соwбщaютсz, нижE tню1дъ спод0бzтсz к0егw покр0ва. |

| The planks of the deck above them barred out the light, and shut out the day on every side, so that they might be treated like traitors during the whole voyage. | Е#гдa же бhсть сіE, ўслhшавъ (цaрь), ћкw нёцыи t р0да и4хъ и3з8 грaда тaйнw и3схождaху чaстw њплaкивати безчeстную брaтіи бёдность, разгнёвавсz ѕёлw, повелЁ со прилэжaніемъ и3 си6мъ тaкожде ћкоже и3 џнэмъ сотвори1ти, да никaкоже мeншую џнэхъ воз8имёютъ мyку, и3 написaти всsко колёно по и4мени: |

| They were conveyed accordingly in this vessel, and at the end of it arrived at Schedia. The king had ordered them to be cast into the vast hippodrome, which was built in front of the city. This place was well adapted by its situation to expose them to the gaze of all comers into the city, and of those who went from the city into the country. Thus they could hold no communication with his forces; nay, were deemed unworthy of any civilized accommodation. | не къ мaлw преждеwб8sвленнэй многотрyднэй раб0тэ, но ўмyченныхъ повелёнными кaзньми, въ конeцъ и3стреби1ти во врeмz є3ди1нагw днE. |

| When this was done, the king, hearing that their brethren in the city often went out and lamented the melancholy distress of these victims, | Бhсть же u5бо си1хъ написaніе съ г0рькимъ тщaніемъ и3 любочeстнымъ присэдёніемъ t восх0да с0лнечнагw дaже до захождeніz, и3 не возмог0ша концA сотвори1ти во днeхъ четhредесzтихъ. |

| was full of rage, and commanded that they should be carefully subjected to the same (and not one whit milder) treatment. | Цaрь же непрестaннw рaдостію вельми2 и3сполнszсz, пи1ршєства ў всёхъ јдwлwвъ составлsz, заблуждeнымъ далeче t и4стины рaзумомъ и3 сквeрными ўсты6, нэм†z ќбw и3 не мог{щаz глаг0лати и5мъ и3ли2 помощи2 похвалsz, на превели1каго же бGа неподоб†ющаz глаг0лz. |

| The whole nation was now to be registered. Every individual was to be specified by name; not for that hard servitude of labour which we have a little before mentioned, but that he might expose them to the before-mentioned tortures; and finally, in the short space of a day, might extirpate them by his cruelties. | По предрэчeннэмъ же врeмене разстоsніи, возвэсти1ша кни1жницы царю2, ћкw никaкоже ктомY м0гутъ њписaніе їудє1й сотвори1ти, безчи1сленнагw рaди и4хъ мн0жества, и3 понeже сyть є3щE премн0зи по странaмъ, и3нjи же по домHмъ њбрэтaютсz, ґ и3нjи по мэстHмъ, ћкw не возмощи2 tню1дъ всBмъ, и5же во є3гЂптэ, страти1гwмъ сотвори1ти сегw2. |

| The registering of these men was carried on cruelly, zealously, assiduously, from the rising of the sun to its going down, and was not brought to an end in forty days. | Е#гдa же цaрь запрети2 и5мъ жесточaе, ѓки дарaми подкyплєнымъ на ковaрство и3збэжaніz, случи1сz и5мъ и3звёстнэ є3го2 њ сeмъ ўвёрити, глаг0лющымъ съ показaніемъ, ћкw и3 хартіи6 ўжE и3 писaтєлныz трHсти, и5хже ўпотреблsху, њскудёша. |

| The king was filled with great and constant joy, and celebrated banquets before the temple idols. His erring heart, far from the truth, and his profane mouth, gave glory to idols, deaf and incapable of speaking or aiding, and uttered unworthy speech against the Greatest God. | Сіe же бЁ дёйство помогaющагw їудeємъ съ нб7сE пр0мысла непобэди1магw (б9іz). |
|

|
|
| At the end of the above-mentioned interval of time, the registrars brought word to the king that the multitude of the Jews was too great for registration, | |
|
18
|
|
| inasmuch as there were many still left in the land, of whom some were in inhabited houses, and others were scattered about in various places; so that all the commanders in Egypt were insufficient for the work. | |
|

|
|
| The king threatened them, and charged them with taking bribes, in order to contrive the escape of the Jews: but was clearly convinced of the truth of what had been said. | |
|

|
|
| They said, and proved, that paper and pens had failed them for the carrying out of their purpose. | |
|
21
|
|
| Now this was the active interference of the unconquerable Providence which assisted the Jews from heaven. |
