¹

And if one be found slain with the sword in the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit, having fallen in the field, and they do not know who has smitten him;

¹

Аще ли ся ѓ^бря'щетъ ё^бїеn лежа` на' поли. в зеMли` ю%же г~ь б~ъ дае'тъ тебњ` приня'ти и^ не вњ'дятъ и^же е^го ё^би'лъ”

²

thine elders and thy judges shall come forth, and shall measure the distances of the cities round about the slain man:

²

И$ да прїидђт# ста'рцы и^ сђдїи` твои`. и^ да и^змњ'рятъ до гра'дъ ѓ%крsтъ ё^бїенаго.

³

and it shall be that the city which is nearest to the slain man the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not laboured, and which has not borne a yoke.

³

и^ бђдеT гра'дъ приближа'яся ё^бїе'номђ. и^ да и^мђтъ ста'рцы гра'да того ю'ницђ эT говя'дъ, е^ю'же не дњ'лано н^и въ я^рмњ` не тежа`”

⁴

And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer into a rough valley, which has not been tilled and is not sown, and they shall slay the heifer in the valley.

⁴

И$ да и^зведђт# ста'рцы гра'да того` ю'ницђ в де'брь сђ'хђ. в не'иже нњ'сть ѓ%рано ниже насњя'но, и^ да пресњкђтъ жи'лы ю'ница в# дебри`.

⁵

And the priests the Levites shall come, because the Lord God has chosen them to stand by him, and to bless in his name, and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be decided.

⁵

и^ да пристђпятъ жерцы` и^ левљ=ти, ја%котїи и^збра` еs г~ь б~ъ тво'и преDстоя'ти е^мђ, и^ блsви'ти въ и%мя е^го, и^ въ ё^стњхъ и^хъ да бђдTђ вс^я гл~анїя, и^ вся'ка пря`”

⁶

And all the elders of that city who draw nigh to the slain man shall wash their hands over the head of the heifer which was slain in the valley;

⁶

И$ вси' же ста'рцы гра'да того` и^же приближа'ются ё^бїе'номђ да ё^мыюT рђцњ въ кро'ви ю'ница е'иже пресњ'чены сђть жи'лы въ дебри`”

⁷

and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen it.

⁷

И$ эTвњща'вше да рекђтъ рђцњ на'ши не пролїя'ша кро'ви сея` и^ ѓ%чи на'ши не ви'дњли е^я`.

⁸

Be merciful to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, O Lord, that innocent blood may not be charged on thy people Israel: and the blood shall be atoned for to them.

⁸

млsтивъ бђ'ди лю'деM свои^мъ, і^и^л~ю, и^хже и^зведе` г~и иZ земля` е^гљ=петъски, и^ не возложи` кро'ви непови'нны средњ люде'и твоиX і^и^л~я н^о и^зба'вы и^хъ эT кро'ви тоя`

⁹

And thou shalt take away innocent blood from among you, if thou shouldest do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord thy God.

⁹

И$ та'ко эTи'меши кро'вь непови'ннђ эT среды себе`, а^ще сътвори'ши до'брое и^ ё^го'дное преD гм~ъ бм~ъ твои^мъ”

¹⁰

And if when thou goest out to war against thine enemies, the Lord thy God should deliver them into thine hands, and thou shouldest take their spoil,

¹⁰

А/ще и^зы'идеши на' брань проти'вђ враго'мъ твои^мъ и^ преда'стъ я& г~ь б~ъ твои в# рђцњ твои`, и^ плњни'ши плњ'нъ эT ниX.

¹¹

and shouldest see among the spoil a woman beautiful in countenance, and shouldest desire her, and take her to thyself for a wife,

¹¹

и^ ё^зри'ши въ плњ'не женђ` до'брђ ѓ^бличїеM, и^ възлю'биши е^я`, и^ по'имеши ю& себњ` въ женђ`.

¹²

and shouldest bring her within thine house: then shalt thou shave her head, and pare her nails;

¹²

тогда въведе'ши ю& въ до'мъ свой, и^ да ѓ^бро'снеши главђ` ея` и^ да в#рњжеши но'гти ея`,

¹³

and shalt take away her garments of captivity from off her, and she shall abide in thine house, and shall bewail her father and mother the days of a month; and afterwards thou shalt go in to her and dwell with her, and she shall be thy wife.

¹³

и^ да съвлече'ши ри'зы плњнн'ыя е^я с нея`. и^ да ся'детъ в# домђ` твое^мъ и^ да ся пла'четъ эTц~а свое^го, и^ ма'тери своея`, мsцъ дн~їи. и^ посеM въни'деши к не'и и^ съвокђ'пишися с не'ю и^ бђ'дет# т^и жена`”

¹⁴

And it shall be if thou do not delight in her, thou shalt send her out free; and she shall not by any means be sold for money, thou shalt not treat her contemptuously, because thou hast humbled her.

¹⁴

И$ бђ'дет# а^ще не въсхо'щеши ея` да эTпђ'стиши ю& свобо'днђ, прода'жею же да не продаси` ея` на цњнњ`, и^ да не ѓ^ста'виши ея` поне'же ѓ^бидњлъ ю& е^си”

¹⁵

And if a man have two wives, the one loved and the other hated, and both the loved and the hated should have born him children, and the son of the hated should be first-born;

¹⁵

А/ще ли бђдеt мђжђ дв^њ женњ`, е^ді'на е^мђ люба` а^ дрђга'я не люба`, и^ породи'тъ е^мђ люба` и^ не люба`, и^ бђдетъ сн~ъ прьворожде'ныи эT не люби'мыя”

¹⁶

then it shall be that whensoever he shall divide by inheritance his goods to his sons, he shall not be able to give the right of the first-born to the son of the loved one, having overlooked the son of the hated, which is the first-born.

¹⁶

И$ бђдетъ воньже дн~ь разде'лиT сн~омъ свои^мъ, и^мњнїе свое. и^ да не воZмо'жетъ прьвенцеM быти сн~ъ люби'мыя презрњ'вши не люби'мыя прьвен#ца`”

¹⁷

But he shall acknowledge the first-born of the hated one to give to him double of all things which shall be found by him, because he is the first of his children, and to him belongs the birthright.

¹⁷

Но^ сн~а нелюби'мыя въ прьвенецъ прїимет#, и^ дастъ е^мђ сђгђ'бо эT всего` ја%же ѓ^бря'щется е^мђ, ја%ко се'й е^сть нача'ло чаD е^го, и^ семђ` достои'тъ прьвен#ство`”

¹⁸

And if any man has a disobedient and contentious son, who hearkens not to the voice of his father and the voice of his mother, and they should correct him, and he should not hearken to them;

¹⁸

А/ще л^и комђ` бђ'детъ сн~ъ непокори'въ, и^ гђби'тель непослђшаяи` гла'са эTц~а свое^го и^ гла'са мт~ре свое^я и^ нака'жђтъ е^го, и^ не послђша'етъ и^хъ”

¹⁹

then shall his father and his mother take hold of him, and bring him forth to the elders of his city, and to the gate of the place:

¹⁹

да по'имеT е^го эTц~ъ е^го и^ мт~и е^го, и^ да и^зведђтъ е^го преD ста'рцы гра'да свое^го, и^ преD вра'та мњста свое^го”

²⁰

and they shall say to the men of their city, This our son is disobedient and contentious, he hearkens not to our voice, he is a reveller and a drunkard.

²⁰

И$ да рекђтъ къ мђжеM гра'да свое^го, сн~ъ на'шъ сїи непокори'въ е^сть и^ гђби'тель и^ непослђжаеT рњ'чи на'шея, вњтђя' пїа'нствђеT”

²¹

And the men of his city shall stone him with stones, and he shall die; and thou shalt remove the evil one from yourselves, and the rest shall hear and fear.

²¹

И$ да побїю'тъ и& мђжи гра'да сего` ка'менїемъ и^ да ё%мретъ. да и^змњте ѕло'е эT себе` са'ми, да и^ дрђѕїи слы'шавше ё^боа'тся”

²²

And if there be sin in any one, and the judgment of death be upon him, and he be put to death, and ye hang him on a tree:

²²

А/ще л^и бђ'детъ в кои'мъ грњсњ` сђ'дъ смр~тныи и^ ё^ме'ртвїе и^ повњ'ситї е на' древњ.

²³

his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but ye shall by all means bury it in that day; for every one that is hanged on a tree is cursed of God; and ye shall by no means defile the land which the Lord thy God gives thee for an inheritance.

²³

да не преме'длитъ тњло е^го на' древњ, н^о въ гро'бњ погреби'те и& въ то'иже дн~ь” ЈА/ко прокляT е^сть эT б~а вся'къ вися'и на' древњ, да не ѓ^скверна'виш# зе'мля ю%же г~ь б~ъ тво'и да'етъ тебњ` въ прича'стїе”
