¹

Woe to the crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, the flower that has fallen from the glory of the top of the fertile mountain, they that are drunken without wine.

¹

Го́ре вѣнцꙋ̀ горды́ни, наи̑мницы є҆фре́мѡвы, цвѣ́тъ ѿпады́й ѿ сла́вы, на версѣ̀ горы̀ тꙋ́чныѧ пїѧ́нїи без̾ вїна̀.

²

Behold, the anger of the Lord is strong and severe, as descending hail where there is no shelter, violently descending; as a great body of water sweeping away the soil, he shall make rest for the land.

²

Сѐ, крѣпка̀ и҆ же́стока ꙗ҆́рость гдⷭ҇нѧ, а҆́ки гра́дъ низпꙋща́емый не и҆мы́й кро́ва, наси́льнѡ низпꙋща́емый: ꙗ҆́коже воды̀ мно́гое мно́жество влекꙋ́щее странꙋ̀, землѝ сотвори́тъ поко́й рꙋка́ма,

³

The crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, shall be beaten down with the hands and with the feet.

³

и҆ нога́ма попере́тсѧ вѣне́цъ горды́ни, наи̑мницы є҆фре́мѡвы.

⁴

And the fading flower of the glorious hope on the top of the high mountain shall be as the early fig; he that sees it, before he takes it into his hand, will desire to swallow it down.

⁴

И҆ бꙋ́детъ цвѣ́тъ ѿпады́й ѿ наде́жды сла́вы на версѣ̀ горы̀ высо́кїѧ, а҆́ки ра́ннїй пло́дъ смо́квинъ: ви́дѣвый є҆го̀, пре́жде взѧ́тїѧ въ рꙋ́цѣ своѝ, восхо́щетъ поглоти́ти є҆го̀.

⁵

In that day the Lord of hosts shall be the crown of hope, the woven crown of glory, to the remnant of the people.

⁵

Въ то́й де́нь бꙋ́детъ гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ вѣне́цъ наде́жди, сплете́ный сла́вою ѡ҆ста́вшымсѧ лю́демъ.

⁶

They shall be left in the spirit of judgment for judgment, and for the strength of them that hinder slaying.

⁶

И҆ ѡ҆ста́вѧтсѧ дꙋ́хомъ сꙋ́днымъ на сꙋ́дъ, и҆ крѣ́пость возбранѧ́ющихъ погꙋблѧ́ти.

⁷

For these have trespassed through wine; they have erred through strong drink: the priest and the prophet are mad through strong drink, they are swallowed up by reason of wine, they have staggered through drunkenness; they have erred: this is their vision.

⁷

Сі́и бо вїно́мъ сꙋ́ть прельще́ни: прельсти́шасѧ сїке́ры ра́ди, жре́цъ и҆ проро́къ и҆зстꙋпи́ша оу҆ма̀ ѿ сїке́ры, пожє́рты бы́ша вїно́мъ, потрѧсо́шасѧ ѿ пїѧ́нства сїке́ры, прельсти́шасѧ: сїѐ є҆́сть привидѣ́нїе.

⁸

A curse shall devour this counsel, for this is their counsel for the sake of covetousness.

⁸

Проклѧ́тїе поѧ́стъ се́й совѣ́тъ, се́й бо совѣ́тъ ра́ди лихои́мства.

⁹

To whom have we reported evils? and to whom have we reported a message? even to those that are weaned from the milk, who are drawn from the breast.

⁹

Комꙋ̀ возвѣсти́хомъ ѕла̑ѧ и҆ комꙋ̀ повѣ́дахомъ вѣ́сть; и҆̀же ѿдое́нїи (сꙋ́ть) ѿ млека̀, ѿто́рженнїи ѿ сосца̀.

¹⁰

Expect thou affliction on affliction, hope upon hope: yet a little, and yet a little,

¹⁰

Печа́ли на печа́ль ѡ҆жида́й, наде́жды къ наде́жди, є҆щѐ ма́лѡ, є҆щѐ ма́лѡ,

¹¹

by reason of the contemptuous words of the lips, by means of another language: for they shall speak to this people, saying to them,

¹¹

ꙗ҆́кѡ хꙋ́достїю оу҆сте́нъ, ѧ҆зы́комъ и҆ны́мъ возглаго́лютъ лю́демъ си̑мъ, рекꙋ́ще и҆̀мъ:

¹²

This is the rest to him that is hungry, and this is the calamity: but they would not hear.

¹²

се́й поко́й а҆́лчномꙋ и҆ сїѐ сокрꙋше́нїе, и҆ не восхотѣ́ша слы́шати.

¹³

Therefore the oracle of God shall be to them affliction on affliction, hope on hope, yet a little, and yet a little, that they may go and fall backward; and they shall be crushed and shall be in danger, and shall be taken.

¹³

И҆ бꙋ́детъ и҆̀мъ сло́во гдⷭ҇а бг҃а, печа́ль къ печа́ли, наде́жда къ наде́жди, є҆щѐ ма́лѡ, є҆щѐ ма́лѡ, да и҆́дꙋтъ и҆ падꙋ́тсѧ вспѧ́ть и҆ въ бѣдꙋ̀ впадꙋ́тъ, и҆ сокрꙋша́тсѧ и҆ плѣне́ни бꙋ́дꙋтъ.

¹⁴

Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, ye afflicted men, and ye princes of this people that is in Jerusalem.

¹⁴

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди оу҆слы́шите сло́во гдⷭ҇не, мꙋ́жїе ѡ҆ѕло́бленнїи и҆ кнѧ̑зи люді́й сꙋ́щихъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.

¹⁵

Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with Hades, and agreements with death; if the rushing storm should pass, it shall not come upon us: we have made falsehood our hope, and by falsehood shall we be protected:

¹⁵

Ꙗ҆́кѡ реко́сте: сотвори́хомъ завѣ́тъ со а҆́домъ и҆ со сме́ртїю сложе́нїе: бꙋ́рѧ носи́ма а҆́ще мимои́детъ, не прїи́детъ на на́съ: положи́хомъ лжꙋ̀ наде́ждꙋ на́шꙋ и҆ лже́ю покры́емсѧ.

¹⁶

therefore thus saith the Lord, even the Lord, Behold, I lay for the foundations of Sion a costly stone, a choice, a corner-stone, a precious stone, for its foundations; and he that believes on him shall by no means be ashamed.

¹⁶

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: сѐ, а҆́зъ полага́ю во ѡ҆снова́нїе сїѡ́нꙋ ка́мень многоцѣ́ненъ, и҆збра́нъ, краеꙋго́ленъ, чтⷭ҇енъ, во ѡ҆снова́нїе є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ вѣ́рꙋѧй въ ѻ҆́нь не постыди́тсѧ:

¹⁷

And I will cause judgment to be for hope, and my compassion shall be for just measures, and ye that trust vainly in falsehood shall fall: for the storm shall by no means pass by you,

¹⁷

и҆ положꙋ̀ сꙋ́дъ въ наде́ждꙋ, млⷭ҇ть же моѧ̀ на мѣ́рилѣхъ, и҆ оу҆пова́вшїи вотщѐ на лжꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не мине́тъ ва́съ бꙋ́рѧ:

¹⁸

except it also take away your covenant of death, and your trust in Hades shall by no means stand: if the rushing storm should come upon you, ye shall be beaten down by it.

¹⁸

и҆ не ѿи́метъ ѿ ва́съ завѣ́та сме́ртнагѡ, и҆ наде́жда ва́ша, ꙗ҆́же ко а҆́дꙋ, не пребꙋ́детъ. Бꙋ́рѧ и҆дꙋ́щаѧ а҆́ще на́йдетъ, бꙋ́дете є҆́й въ попра́нїе:

¹⁹

Whenever it shall pass by, it shall take you; morning by morning it shall pass by in the day, and in the night there shall be an evil hope. Learn to hear,

¹⁹

є҆гда̀ мимои́детъ, во́зметъ ва́съ: ꙗ҆́кѡ по всѧ́ко оу҆́тро преходи́ти бꙋ́детъ въ де́нь, и҆ въ нощѝ бꙋ́детъ наде́жда ѕла̀. Наꙋчи́тесѧ слы́шати, оу҆тѣснѧ́емїи:

²⁰

ye that are distressed; we cannot fight, but we are ourselves too weak for you to be gathered.

²⁰

не мо́жемъ ра́товати, са́ми же и҆знемога́емъ, є҆́же собра́тисѧ на́мъ.

²¹

The Lord shall rise up as a mountain of ungodly men, and shall be in the valley of Gabaon; he shall perform his works with wrath, even a work of bitterness, and his wrath shall deal strangely, and his destruction shall be strange.

²¹

Ꙗ҆́коже гора̀ на нечести́выхъ воста́нетъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ бꙋ́детъ (ꙗ҆́коже) въ де́бри гаваѡ́нстѣй, съ ꙗ҆́ростїю сотвори́тъ дѣла̀ своѧ̑, го́рести дѣ́ло: ꙗ҆́рость же є҆гѡ̀ чꙋ́ждѡ оу҆потреби́тсѧ, и҆ погꙋбле́нїе є҆гѡ̀ стра́нно.

²²

Therefore do not ye rejoice, neither let your bands be made strong; for I have heard of works finished and cut short by the Lord of hosts, which he will execute upon all the earth.

²²

И҆ вы̀ не ра́дꙋйтесѧ, нижѐ да возмо́гꙋтъ ва́ши оу҆́зы: занѐ сконча̑ны и҆ сокращє́ны вє́щи слы́шахъ ѿ гдⷭ҇а саваѡ́ѳа, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́тъ над̾ все́ю земле́ю.

²³

Hearken, and hear my voice; attend, and hear my words.

²³

Внꙋши́те и҆ слы́шите гла́съ мо́й, внемли́те и҆ слы́шите словеса̀ моѧ̑.

²⁴

Will the ploughman plough all the day? or will he prepare the seed beforehand, before he tills the ground?

²⁴

Є҆да̀ ве́сь де́нь бꙋ́детъ ѡ҆рѧ́й ѡ҆ра́ти; и҆лѝ сѣ́мѧ оу҆гото́витъ пре́жде воздѣ́ланїѧ землѝ;

²⁵

Does he not, when he has levelled the surface thereof, then sow the small black poppy, or cumin, and afterward sow wheat, and barley, and millet, and bread-corn in thy borders?

²⁵

Не є҆гда́ ли оу҆мѧгчи́тъ [оу҆равни́тъ] лицѐ є҆ѧ̀, тогда̀ всѣ́етъ ма́лѡ чернꙋ́хи и҆ кѷмі́на, пото́мъ же сѣ́етъ пшени́цꙋ и҆ ꙗ҆чме́нь и҆ про́со въ предѣ́лѣхъ твои́хъ;

²⁶

So thou shalt be chastened by the judgment of thy God, and shalt rejoice.

²⁶

И҆ наꙋчи́шисѧ сꙋдꙋ̀ бг҃а твоегѡ̀ и҆ возра́дꙋешисѧ.

²⁷

For the black poppy is not cleansed with harsh treatment, nor will a waggon-wheel pass over the cumin; but the black poppy is threshed with a rod, and the cumin shall be eaten with bread;

²⁷

И҆́бо не съ же́стокостїю ѡ҆чища́етсѧ чернꙋ́ха, нижѐ ко́ло колесни́чное ѡ҆бы́детъ кѷмі́на, но жезло́мъ и҆стрѧса́етсѧ чернꙋ́ха, кѷмі́нъ же со хлѣ́бомъ снѣ́стсѧ.

²⁸

for I will not be wroth with you for ever, neither shall the voice of my anger crush you.

²⁸

Не во вѣ́къ бо а҆́зъ разгнѣ́ваюсѧ на вы̀, нижѐ гла́съ гнѣ́ва моегѡ̀ попере́тъ ва́съ.

²⁹

And these signs came forth from the Lord of hosts. Take counsel, exalt vain comfort.

²⁹

И҆ сїѧ̑ ѿ гдⷭ҇а саваѡ́ѳа и҆зыдо́ша чꙋдеса̀: совѣ́тꙋйте, вознеси́те тще́тное оу҆тѣше́нїе.
