And these are the words of the book, which Baruch the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, the son of Asadias, the son of Chelcias, wrote in Babylon,

¹

Сїя словеса` кни'гъ ја%же написа` варђхъ сн~ъ нирїинъ, сн~а маа^се'ева, сн~а седекїинA сн~а а^садее^ва, сн~а хел#кїина въ вавило'нњ.

²

in the fifth year, and in the seventh day of the month, what time as the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, and burnt it with fire.

²

въ деся'тое лњто, в# седмыи дн~ь мsца” в лњто в неже взя'ша халдњи і^ерsлі'ма, и^ пож#го'ша и& ѓ^гнемъ”

³

And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book,

³

И$ почте` варђхъ словеса` кни'гъ сиX въ ёши і^ехонїинњ сн~а і^ѓ^а^ки'мля цр~я і^ё'дина. и^ въ ё'ши всњхъ людїи приходя'щихъ къ книгамъ,

⁴

and in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king's sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, from the lowest unto the highest, even of all them that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud.

⁴

и^ въ ё'ши си'лныхъ и^ сн~овъ цр~ьскь, и^ въ ёши ста'рчестњ и^ въ ё'ши всњхъ лю'дїи, эT ма'ла и^ до вели'ка и^хъ, всњхъ живђщихъ въ вављ=лонњ на рњцњ сљ=дъ”

⁵

Whereupon they wept, fasted, and prayed before the Lord.

⁵

и^ пла'кахђся и^ а^лка'хђ, и^ моля'хђ мл~твы преD гм~ъ”

⁶

They made also a collection of money according to every man's power:

⁶

Посемъ събраша сребро ја%коже кого'ждо можа'ше рђка,

⁷

and they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem,

⁷

и^ посла'ша въ і^ерsлі'мъ ко і^ѓ^а^ки'мђ жерцђ вели'комђ, сн~ђ хеlкїинђ сн~а сало'мля къ жръцемъ, и^ къ всњмъ лю'демъ и^же ся ѓ^брњтоша с ни'мъ въ і^ерsлі'мњ.

⁸

at the same time when he received the vessels of the house of the Lord, that were carried out of the temple, to return them into the land of Juda, the tenth day of the month Sivan, namely, silver vessels, which Sedecias the son of Josias king of Juda had made,

⁸

вънегда взя` сосђды хра'ма гн~я и^знесеныя эT хра'ма, възврати'ти на землю і^ёдинђ, і~ дн~ь мsца сиванъ. сосђды сребряны ја%же сътвори седекїя сн~ъ і^ѓ^сїинъ цр~ь і^ё'динъ.

⁹

after that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away Jechonias, and the princes, and the captives, and the mighty men, and the people of the land, from Jerusalem, and brought them unto Babylon.

⁹

по преселенїи навходоносорђ цр~ю вављ=лоньскђ, і^ехонїю, и^ княѕя, і^ ё'з#ники, и^ си'лныя, и^ люди земля эT і^ерsлима, и^ въведе` я` свя'заны въ вављ=ло'нъ.

¹⁰

And they said, Behold, we have sent you money to buy you burnt offerings, and sin offerings, and incense, and prepare ye manna, and offer upon the altar of the Lord our God;

¹⁰

и^ рекоша, с^е посла'хомъ к вамъ сребро, да кђпите на сребрњ всесъж#же'нїя ꙁа грњх#, и^ џимїамъ. и^ сътвори'те требђ, и^ възнесњте на требникᲆ г~а б~а на'шего.

¹¹

and pray for the life of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and for the life of Balthasar his son, that their days may be upon earth as the days of heaven:

¹¹

и^ моли'теся ꙁа жи'тїе навходоносо'рово цр~я вављ=лоньска, и^ ꙁа житїе вал#таса'ра сн~а е^го. да бђдђтъ дн~їе и^хъ ја%ко и^ днїе нбsнїи на земли`.

¹²

and the Lord will give us strength, and lighten our eyes, and we shall live under the shadow of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and we shall serve them many days, and find favour in their sight.

¹²

да дасть г~ь крњпость намъ, да просвњти'тъ ѓ'чи на'ши. и^ да живе'мъ поD сњнїю навходоносо'ровою, и^ поD сњнїю валтаса'рею сн~а е^го. да рабо'тае^мъ и'ма дн~и мно'ги, и^ ѓ^бря'щемъ блгDть преD нима.

¹³

Pray for us also unto the Lord our God, for we have sinned against the Lord our God; and unto this day the fury of the Lord and his wrath is not turned from us.

¹³

и^ моли'теся ꙁа на'съ къ гв~и б~ђ нашемђ, ја%ко съгрњшихомᲆ гв~и б~ђ на'шемђ. и^ не эTврати'ся ја%рость гн~я, и^ гнњвъ е^го эT насъ до сего дн~е”

¹⁴

And ye shall read this book which we have sent unto you, to make confession in the house of the Lord, upon the feasts and solemn days.

¹⁴

И$ почти'те кни'ги сїя ја%же посла'хомъ к вам#, и^сповњда'ти в# домђ гн~и въ дн~ь пра'знDика, въ дни годныя.

¹⁵

And ye shall say, To the Lord our God belongeth righteousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as it is come to pass this day, unto them of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

¹⁵

и^ да речете г~ђ б~ђ нашемђ пра'вда, а^ намъ стыдњнїе лицем#. ја%ко и^ до сего дн~е чл~кђ і^ё'динђ, и^ живђщимъ въ і^ерsли'мњ,

¹⁶

and to our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers:

¹⁶

цр~емъ на'шиM и^ кн~ѕеM, на'шиM и^ жрьцеM нашиM и^ пррoком# нашимъ, и^ эTц~емъ нашимъ.

¹⁷

for we have sinned before the Lord,

¹⁷

е^же съгрњшихомъ преD гм~ъ, и^ не вњровахомъ, не ё^пова'юще нань.

¹⁸

and disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the commandments that he gave us openly:

¹⁸

и^ не покори'хомся е^мђ, и не послђшахомъ гла'са г~а б~а нашего, ходи'ти въ повеленихъ е^го, ја%же даде преD лицем# нашимъ,

¹⁹

since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in not hearing his voice.

¹⁹

эT дне во'ньже и^зведе эTц~а наша эT земля` е^гљ=пет#ски, и^ до сего дн~е, бњхомъ непокаря'яся гв~и б~ђ нашемђ, и^ эTмета'хомъ ја%ко непослђшати гласа е^го.

²⁰

Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which the Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land that floweth with milk and honey, like as it is to see this day.

²⁰

и^ прилпе насъ ѕло` и^ кля'тва. ю%же съчини г~ь мољ=сїѓви ѓ%трокђ свое^мђ, вᲆ дн~ь во'ньже и^ꙁведе г~ь эTц~а наша эT ꙁемля` е^гљ=пеTски, да'ти намъ ꙁемлю кипя'щђ мле'комъ и^ ме'домъ, ја%ко и^ сїи дн~ь.

²¹

Nevertheless we have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, according unto all the words of the prophets, whom he sent unto us:

²¹

и^ не послђшахомᲆ гласа г~а б~а нашеh, по всњмъ словесемъ пррoчемъ, ја%же посла` к на'мъ, и^ сђдїамъ нашим#.

²²

but every man followed the imagination of his own wicked heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of the Lord our God.

²²

и^ хожда'хомъ ко'ждо на'съ по ра'ꙁђмђ срDца свое^го зла'го, рабо'тати богом# и'нњмъ, сътвори'ти зл^о преD ѓ^чи'ма г~а б~а нашего”
