And the seventh month came on, and the children of Israel were in their cities, and the people assembled as one man at Jerusalem.

¹

Приходя'щђ же мsцђ сеDмомђ, и^ бяхђ сн~ове і^и^л~еви въ' градњхъ свои^х#. собра'нъ е^сть полкъ ја^ко чл~къ е^ді'нъ въ і^ерsли'мњ”

²

Then stood up Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer upon it whole-burnt-offerings, according to the things that were written in the law of Moses the man of God.

²

И$ воста` і^ѓ^сђ'е сн~ъ і^ѓ^седе'ковъ и^ бра'тїа е^го сщ~е'нници, и^ зороваве'ль, сн~ъ салаџїилевъ и^ бра'тїя е^го. и^ созда'ша ѓ'лтарь б~ђ і^и^л~евђ, да принесђть в нем# вс^есож#женїе. ја%ко пи'санно е^сть въ зако'нњ мољ=сїѓвњ чл~ка бж~їа”

³

And they set up the altar on its place, for there was a terror upon them because of the people of the lands: and the whole-burnt-offering was offered up upon it to the Lord morning and evening.

³

И$ ё^гото'ваша ѓ'лтарь бж~їи на ё^гото'ванїи е^го ја%ко разоренїе б^њ иX по ѓ'крsтъ эT лю'дїи земныхъ” И$ възда'ша на то'мъ вс^есожженїе гв~и, и^ ё'трњ и^ ве'черъ.

⁴

And they kept the feast of tabernacles, according to that which was written, and offered whole-burnt-offerings daily in number according to the ordinance, the exact daily rate.

⁴

и^ сътвори'ша празнDенїе жили'щемъ ја%ко пи'сано е^сть. и^ вс^есоQже'нїе дн~їи всњхъ. по числђ` и^ по повеленїю дњ'ло бж~їе въ дн~ь свои”

⁵

And after this the perpetual whole-burnt-offering, and offering for the season of new moon, and for all the hallowed feasts to the Lord, and for every one that offered a free-will-offering to the Lord.

⁵

И$ посе'мъ вс^есож#женїе при'снаго, и^ в# но'вомњсячїа, и^ пра'зницњхъ гн~ихъ и^же бњхђ просщ~е'ни. и^ вся'комђ бл~гово'лномђ съ ё^сердїемъ да'ти гв~и.

⁶

On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord: but the foundation of the house of the Lord was not laid.

⁶

эT пр'ьваго дн~и мsца сеDмаго нача'ша воздава'ти жрътвђ гв~и” И$ цр~квь бж~їя не б^њ е^ще` ѓ^сно'вана.

⁷

And they gave money to the stone-hewers and carpenters, and meat and drink, and oil, to the Sidonians, and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of the Persians to them.

⁷

възда'ша же лю'дїе пњняѕи плин#џникомъ, и^ дре'водњляM. ја%ствђ же и^ пи'тїе, и^ е^ле'и, сидо'номъ, и^ ти'ромъ да принесђть дре'ва ке'дрова эT лива'на къ морю и^ѓ^пенъ. ја%коy повелњ кљ=ръ цр~ь прьскїи.

⁸

And in the second year of their coming to the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, over the workmen in the house of the Lord.

⁸

и^ въ лњто вто'рое вънегда прїити иM къ цр~кви бж~їи въ і^ерsли'мъ. мsца, вто'раго нача` зороваве'ль сн~ъ салаџїи^левъ. и^ ѓ^сђя сн~ъ и^ѓ^седековъ, и^ про'чїи эT бра'тїя и^хъ сщ~е'нници и^ левљ=ти, и^ вс^и и^же прїидо'ша эT плњненїя въ і^ерsли'мъ” И$ поста'виша левљ=ты эT к~, лњтъ и^ вы'шше. да настояT дњ'лђ бж~їю въ хра'мњ гн~и”

⁹

And Jesus and his sons and his brethren stood, Cadmiel and his sons the sons of Juda, over them that wrought the works in the house of God: the sons of Enadad, their sons and their brethren the Levites.

⁹

И$ ста'в же і^ѓ^сђа, и^ сн~ве е^го и^ бра'тїа е^го. кадои^лъ, и^ сн~ове е^го ја%ко мђж'ъ е^ді'нъ, ја%ко дабы настоя'ли на нихъ и^же строя'хђ дњ'ло въ цр~кви бж~їи. сн~ове надавовы, и^ сн~ове иX, и^ бра'тїа и^хъ левљ=ти,

¹⁰

And they laid a foundation for building the house of the Lord: and the priests in their robes stood with trumpets and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to the order of David king of Israel.

¹⁰

и^ ѓ^сно'ваша б^о эT дњ'латель цр~кви гн~я” И$ ста'ша же сщ~е'нницы въ ё^краше'нїи свое^мъ съ трђбники и^ левљ=ти. сн~ове а^саџовы въ кимъва'лњхъ да хва'лятъ г~а. поD рђ'кою зако'на, дв~да цр~я і^и^л~ева”

¹¹

And they answered each other with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, saying, For it is good, for his mercy to Israel endures for ever. And all the people shouted with a loud voice to praise the Lord at the laying the foundation of the house of the Lord.

¹¹

И$ въпїа'хђ въ пњснехъ і^ и^сповњ'данїи гн~и ја%ко бл~гъ, ја^ко въ вњки млsть е^го на і^и^л~я” И$ вс^и лю'дїе возгл~ша'хђ гла'сомъ вели'комъ въ хвале'нїи г~ђ. сего ра'ди и^же ѓ^сно'вана бы'сть цр~ьковь гн~я”

¹²

But many of the priests and the Levites, and the elder men, heads of families, who had seen the former house on its foundation, and who saw this house with their eyes, wept with a loud voice: but the multitude shouted with joy to raise a song.

¹²

Мно'ѕи е^ще` эT сщ~е'никовъ и^ левљ=тъ, и^ княѕе'и эTч~еств# и^ ста'рцеи, ви'дњша цр~ковь пре'жнюю на ѓ^снова'нїи ея`” И$ сїю цр~квь пла'кахђ гла'сомъ ве'лїимъ. и^ мно'ѕи воз#глаша'юще въ весе'лїи възъвыша'хђ гла'съ.

¹³

And the people did not distinguish the voice of the glad shout from the voice of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud voice, and the voice was heard even from afar off.

¹³

и^ не мого'ша никто'же позна'ти глаs въпњнїя веселя'щися эT глаs пла'ча плъко'внаго. смњше'нъ б^о полъкъ глаоова'ше гла'сомъ вели'кимъ и^ глаs вели'къ слы'шашеся далече”
