¹

And the Lord said to me, Take to thyself a volume of a great new book, and write in it with a man's pen concerning the making a rapid plunder of spoils; for it is near at hand.

¹

И# речE гDь ко мнЁ: пріими2 себЁ сви1токъ н0въ вели1къ и3 напиши2 въ нeмъ писaломъ человёчимъ, є4же ск0рw плэнeніе сотвори1ти корhстей, приспё бо:

²

And make me witnesses of faithful men, Urias, and Zacharias the son of Barachias.

²

и3 свидBтели мнЁ сотвори2 вBрны человёки, ўрjю їерeа и3 захaрію сhна варахjина.

³

And I went in to the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. And the Lord said to me, Call his name, Spoil quickly, plunder speedily.

³

И# приступи1хъ ко прbр0чицэ, и3 во чрeвэ зачaтъ и3 роди2 сhна. И# речE гDь мнЁ: нарцы2 и4мz є3мY: ск0рw плэни2, нaглw расхи1ти,

⁴

For before the child shall know how to call his father or his mother, one shall take the power of Damascus and the spoils of Samaria before the king of the Assyrians.

⁴

занE прeжде нeже разумёти nтрочaти назвaти nтцA и3ли2 мaтерь, пріи1метъ си1лу дамaскову, и3 кwрhсти самар‡йскіz пред8 царeмъ ґссmрjйскимъ.

⁵

And the Lord spoke to me yet again, saying,

⁵

И# приложи2 гDь гlати ко мнЁ є3щE, гlz:

⁶

Because this people chooses not the water of Siloam that goes softly, but wills to have Rassin, and the son of Romelias to be king over you;

⁶

понeже не восхотёша лю1діе сjи воды2 сілwaмли текyщіz ти1сэ, но восхотёша и3мёти рассHна и3 сhна ромелjева царS над8 вaми,

⁷

therefore, behold, the Lord brings up upon you the water of the river, strong and abundant, even the king of the Assyrians, and his glory: and he shall come up over every valley of yours, and shall walk over every wall of yours:

⁷

сегw2 рaди сE, возв0дитъ гDь на вы2 в0ду рэки2 си1льну и3 мн0гу, царS ґссmрjйска и3 слaву є3гw2: и3 взhдетъ на всsку дeбрь вaшу, и3 њбhдетъ всsку стёну вaшу,

⁸

and he shall take away from Juda every man who shall be able to lift up his head, and every one able to accomplish anything; and his camp shall fill the breadth of thy land, O God with us.

⁸

и3 tи1метъ t їудeи человёка, и4же возм0жетъ главY воздви1гнути, и3ли2 могyщаго что2 соверши1ти: и3 бyдетъ п0лкъ є3гw2, во є4же нап0лнити ширинY страны2 твоеS, съ нaми бGъ!

⁹

Know, ye Gentiles, and be conquered; hearken ye, even to the extremity of the earth: be conquered, after ye have strengthened yourselves; for even if ye should again strengthen yourselves, ye shall again be conquered.

⁹

Разумёйте, kзhцы, и3 покарsйтесz, ўслhшите дaже до послёднихъ земли2: могyщіи, покарsйтесz: ѓще бо пaки возм0жете, пaки побёждени бyдете,

¹⁰

And whatsoever counsel ye shall take, the Lord shall bring it to nought; and whatsoever word ye shall speak, it shall not stand among you: for God is with us.

¹⁰

и3 и4же ѓще совётъ совэщaете, разори1тъ гDь, и3 сл0во, є4же ѓще возглаг0лете, не пребyдетъ въ вaсъ, ћкw съ нaми бGъ.

¹¹

Thus saith the Lord, With a strong hand they revolt from the course of the way of this people, saying,

¹¹

Тaкw гlетъ гDь: крёпкою рук0ю не покарsютсz хождeнію пути2 людjй си1хъ, глаг0люще:

¹²

Let them not say, It is hard, for whatsoever this people says, is hard: but fear not ye their fear, neither be dismayed.

¹²

да не когдA рекyтъ: жeстоко: всe бо, є4же ѓще рекyтъ лю1діе сjи, жeстоко є4сть: стрaха же и4хъ не ўб0йтесz, нижE возмzти1тесz.

¹³

Sanctify ye the Lord himself; and he shall be thy fear.

¹³

ГDа си1лъ, того2 њсвzти1те, и3 т0й бyдетъ тебЁ въ стрaхъ.

¹⁴

And if thou shalt trust in him, he shall be to thee for a sanctuary; and ye shall not come against him as against a stumbling-stone, neither as against the falling of a rock: but the houses of Jacob are in a snare, and the dwellers in Jerusalem in a pit.

¹⁴

И# ѓще бyдеши ўповaz на него2, бyдетъ тебЁ во њсщ7eніе, ґ не ћкоже њ кaмень претыкaніz преткнeшисz, нижE ћкw њ кaмень падeніz: д0мове же ї†кwвли въ прyглэ, и3 въ разд0ліи сэдsщіи во їеrли1мэ.

¹⁵

Therefore many among them shall be weak, and fall, and be crushed; and they shall draw nigh, and men shall be taken securely.

¹⁵

Сегw2 рaди и3знем0гутъ въ ни1хъ мн0зи, и3 падyтъ, и3 сокрушaтсz, и3 прибли1жатсz, и3 ћти бyдутъ человёцы въ твердhни сyще.

¹⁶

Then shall those who seal themselves that they may not learn the law be made manifest.

¹⁶

ТогдA kвлeни бyдутъ печатлёющіи зак0нъ, є4же не ўчи1тисz.

¹⁷

And one shall say, I will wait for God, who has turned away his face from the house of Jacob, and I will trust in him.

¹⁷

И# речeтъ: пождY бGа tврaщшагw лицE своE t д0му їaкwвлz и3 ўповaz бyду нaнь.

¹⁸

Behold I and the children which God has given me: and they shall be for signs and wonders in the house of Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells in mount Sion.

¹⁸

СE, ѓзъ и3 дёти, ±же ми2 дадE бGъ: и3 бyдутъ знaмєніz и3 чудесA въ домY ї}левэ t гDа саваHfа, и4же њбитaетъ на горЁ сіHнъ.

¹⁹

And if they should say to you, Seek those who have in them a divining spirit, and them that speak out of the earth, them that speak vain words, who speak out of their belly: shall not a nation diligently seek to their God? why do they seek to the dead concerning the living?

¹⁹

И# ѓще рекyтъ къ вaмъ: и3зыщи1те чревоволшeбникwвъ и3 t земли2 возглашaющихъ, тщесл0вующихъ, и5же t чрeва глашaютъ, не kзhкъ ли къ бGу своемY взhщетъ; что2 и3спытyютъ мє1ртвыz њ живhхъ;

²⁰

For he has given the law for a help, that they should not speak according to this word, concerning which there are no gifts to give for it.

²⁰

Зак0нъ бо въ п0мощь дадE, да рекyтъ не ћкоже сл0во сіE, зaньже не лёть дaры даsти.

²¹

And famine shall come sorely upon you, and it shall come to pass, that when ye shall be hungry, ye shall be grieved, and ye shall speak ill of the prince and your fathers' ordinances: and they shall look up to heaven above,

²¹

И# пріи1детъ на вы2 жeстокъ глaдъ, и3 бyдетъ, є3гдA взaлчете, ск0рбни бyдете и3 ѕло2 речeте кнsзю и3 nтeчеству:

²²

and they shall look on the earth below, and behold severe distress, and darkness, affliction, and anguish, and darkness so that one cannot see; and he that is in anguish shall not be distressed only for a time.

²²

и3 воззрsтъ на нeбо горЁ, и3 на зeмлю ни1зу при1зрzтъ, и3 сE, скyдость тёсна и3 тмA, ск0рбь и3 тэснотA и3 тмA, ћкоже не ви1дэти: и3 не њскудёетъ въ тёснотэ сhй дaже до врeмене.

²³

Drink this first. Act quickly, O land of Zabulon, land of Nephthalim, and the rest inhabiting the sea-coast, and the land beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
