And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

¹

И бы'сть слово гн~е къ мн^њ гл~я

²

And thou, son of man—of all the wood of the branches that are among the trees of the forest, what shall be made of the wood of the vine?

²

сн~е чл~чь, чт^о ё^бо древо ло'зное эT всњхъ древесъ ло'ꙁныхъ, ја%же сђть въ древесњхъ дђбра'вныхъ.

³

Will they take wood of it to make it fit for work? will they take of it a peg to hang any vessel upon it?

³

а^ще възмђтъ эT нихъ древо, ја^коже сътвори'ти дњло. и^ а'ще въꙁмђтъ ко'лъ, ја%коже ѓ^бњсиᲄи на немъ съсђдъ.

⁴

It is only given to the fire to be consumed; the fire consumes that which is yearly pruned of it, and it is utterly gone. Will it be useful for any work?

⁴

ра'звњ е^же ѓ^гневи дасться въ потребле'нїе, лњтномђ ё^чище'нїю е^го. потребля'етъ ѓ'гнь, и^ скоnчава'ется до конца`, е^да потре'бно бђдетъ на дњло.

⁵

Not even while it is yet whole will it be useful for any work: if the fire shall have utterly consumed it, will it still be fit for work?

⁵

и^ е^ще цњлђ'емђ сђщђ не бђдетъ на дњло. ко'ль па'че а^ще ѓ'гнь е& попали'тᲆ до конца`, а^ще бђдетъ на дњло потомъ”

⁶

Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord, As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given up to the fire to be consumed, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

⁶

Сего раd сице гл~етъ г~ь б~ъ, ја%коже лоꙁа` виноградная въ древњ дђбра'внеM, тђ же да'хъ на потребле'нїе ѓ^гневи. такоy дамъ живђщая въ і^ерsлі'мњ,

⁷

And I will set my face against them; they shall go forth of the fire, and yet fire shall devour them; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set my face against them.

⁷

и^ дам# лице мое на ня. эT ѓ^гня и^ꙁы'идђтᲆ и^ ѓ'гнь поя'сть я&. и^ ё^вњдятъ ја%ко а^зъ г~ь. е^д^а ё^твержђ лице свое на' ня,

⁸

And I will give up the land to ruin, because they have utterly transgressed, saith the Lord.

⁸

и^ дамъ ꙁемлю в# пагђбђ, ꙁане' же в#падо'ша въ грњхъ, гл~етъ а^дона'и г~ь”
