For Egypt, against the Power of Pharao Nechao King of Egypt, who was by the river Euphrates in Charmis, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Joakim king of Juda.

¹

В нача'токъ сн~а і^ѓ^сїина цр~я і^ѓ^а^кима. бы'сть сло'во с^е эT г~а”

³

Take up arms and spears, and draw nigh to battle;

²

Та'ко рече г~ь ста'ни въ дворњ домђ гн~я. и^ проповњси всемђ і^ё'дњ в#ходя'щимъ кла'няᲄися в до'мъ гн~ь вся` словеса` ја%же съчиниX тебњ проповњда'ти и^мъ, не ё^ими словесе`.

⁴

and harness the horses: mount, ye horsemen, and stand ready in your helmets; advance the spears, and put on your breast-plates.

³

негли послђшавше ѓ^братя'тся ко'ждо эT пђти` свое^го зла'го. и^ почїю эT ѕло'бы е^же мы'шлю сътвори'ти иM ѕлыX ради хђдо'жествъ и^хъ.

⁵

Why do they fear, and turn back? even because their mighty men shall be slain: they have utterly fled, and being hemmed in they have not rallied, saith the Lord.

⁴

и^ рече'ши, та'ко рече г~ь. а^ще не послђшае^те мене, ја^коже ходи'ти в# ꙁако'ны моя. ја%же дахъ преD лицемъ ва'шим#

⁶

Let not the swift flee, and let not the mighty man escape to the north: the forces at Euphrates are become feeble, and they have fallen.

⁵

в# послђшанїе словесъ ѓ'трокъ мои^хᲆ прoркъ. ја%же а'ꙁъ посылаю к ваM и^ꙁъ ё'тра, и^ посла'хъ и^ не послђшасте мене.

⁷

Who is this that shall come up as a river, and as rivers roll their waves?

⁶

и^ дамъ домъ сїи ја%ко и^ силђа^ма. и^ гра'дъ сеи дамъ въ кля'твђ всњмъ страна'мъ всея земля”

⁸

The waters of Egypt shall come up like a river: and he said, I will go up, and will cover the earth, and will destroy the dwellers in it.

⁷

И$ слы'шаша жръцы и^ лжи` пррoцы, и^ вси` лю'дїе, і^еремїю гл~юща в домђ` гн~и

⁹

Mount ye the horses, prepare the chariots; go forth, ye warriors of the Ethiopians, and Libyans armed with shields; and mount, ye Lydians, bend the bow.

⁸

И$ бысть і^еремїи премлъкнђвшђ, все е^ли'ко съчини е^мђ г~ь гл~ати всњм# лю'демъ. и^ я'ша і^ермїю жръцы` и^ лжи пррoци, и^ вси лю'дїе гл~юще, см~ртїю да ё'мрет#.

¹⁰

And that day shall be to the Lord our God a day of vengeance, to take vengeance on his enemies: and the sword of the Lord shall devour, and be glutted, and be drunken with their blood: for the Lord has a sacrifice from the land of the north at the river Euphrates.

⁹

ја%ко прорече и'менемъ гн~имъ гл~я, ја%ко и^ силђа'мъ бђдетъ сеи до'мъ, и^ гра'дъ се'и ѓ^пђстњетъ эT живђщиX. и^ събра'шася вси` лю'дїе на і^еремїю въ домђ гн~и.

¹¹

Go up to Galaad, and take balm for the virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain hast thou multiplied thy medicines; there is no help in thee.

¹⁰

И$ послђшаша кня'ѕи і^ё'дины словеs сихъ, и^ в#ꙁыдоша эT домђ цр~ва в доM гн~ь, и^ сњдоша въ преDдверїи вратъ домђ гн~я.

¹²

The nations have heard thy voice, and the land has been filled with thy cry: for the warriors have fainted fighting one against another, and both are fallen together.

¹¹

и^ рњша жерьцы и^ л#жи` прoрцы кн~ѕеM и^ всMњ людеM гл~ще. сђд# смр~тныи чл~кђ семђ, ја%ко прорече на сеи граD, ја%коже слы'шасᲄе въ ё'ши ва'ши”

¹³

The Words which the Lord spoke by Jeremias, concerning the coming of the king of Babylon to smite the land of Egypt.

¹²

И$ рече і^еремїя къ княѕемъ и^ всњмъ лю'демъ гл~я. г~ь посла м^я прорещи на до'мъ сеи, и^ на граD сеи вся` словеса` ја^же слы'шасте.

¹⁴

Proclaim it at Magdol, and declare it at Memphis: say ye, Stand up, and prepare; for the sword has devoured thy yew-tree.

¹³

и^ нн~њ ё'ньша сътвори'те пђти` ва'ша, и дњлеса` ва'ша, и^ послђшаите гл~а г~а б~а ва'шего. и^ ѓ^ста'вится г~ь эT ѕлоb ю^же гл~а на вы”

¹⁵

Wherefore has Apis fled from thee? thy choice calf has not remained; for the Lord has utterly weakened him.

¹⁴

и^ се а'ꙁъ в рђкђ ва'шею, съᲄвори'те ми ја%коже ся строиT ја%коже ё^не вамъ ја%вля'ется.

¹⁶

And thy multitude has fainted and fallen; and each one said to his neighbour, Let us arise, and return into our country to our people, from the Grecian sword.

¹⁵

н^о раꙁђмњ'юще да раꙁђмњ'ете, ја%ко а^ще ё^бїете м^я в^ы, кро'вь непови'ннђ дае^те сами на' ся, и^ на гра'дъ се'и, и^ на живђщая в немъ. ја%ко по и'стиnнᲇ посла мя г~ь гл~ати к# ва'мъ, въ ё'ши ва'ши вся` словеса` с^и.

¹⁷

Call ye the name of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, Saon esbeie moed.

¹⁶

и^ рњша княѕи и^ вси людїе къ жръцемъ, и^ къ всњмъ лжи'мъ прoркомъ. нњсть чл~кђ семђ сђдъ смр~тныи, ја%ко во и^мя г~а нашего гл~а к# намъ”

¹⁸

As I live, saith the Lord God, he shall come as Itabyrion among the mountains, and as Carmel that is on the sea.

¹⁷

И$ въста'ша мђжи эT ста'рецъ ꙁе'мныхъ, и^ рњша всемђ сᲆбо'рђ люDскомђ гл~ще.

¹⁹

O daughter of Egypt dwelling at home, prepare thee stuff for removing: for Memphis shall be utterly desolate, and shall be called Woe, because there are no inhabitants in it.

¹⁸

михе'я мораџи'тъскїи, б^њ въ дн~и і^езекїя цр~я і^ё'дина, и^ рече всњмᲆ лю'демъ і^ё'диномъ гл~я” Та'ко реq г~ь. сїѓ'нъ ја%ко ни'ва раꙁоре'тся, и і^е^рsлимъ ја%ко кђща пђдъска бђдеT, и^ гора ды'мная бђдетъ в лђгъ дђбрав#скь.

²⁰

Egypt is a fair heifer, but destruction from the north is come upon her.

¹⁹

е^да ё^бива'а ё^би и& е^зекїа цр~ь і^ё'динъ, и^ вси` лю'дїе і^ё'дины. не ё^боя'ша ли ся ё^бо г~а, и^ ја%ко моли'шася лицђ гн~ю. и^ ѓ^ста'вися г~ь эT ѕло'бы ја%же гл~алъ б^њ на' ня. и^ мы` сътвори'хомъ ѕло'бы велики на дш~а наша.

²¹

Also her hired soldiers in the midst of her are as fatted calves fed in her; for they also have turned, and fled with one accord: they stood not, for the day of destruction was come upon them, and the time of their retribution.

²⁰

и^ бњ чл~къ прорица'я и'менеM гн~имъ, ё'рїя сн~ъ саме'ѓвъ эT кариа^џїари'ма. и^ прорече ѓ^ ꙁемли` се'и, по всњмъ словесе'мъ і^еремїиномъ.

²²

Their voice is as that of a hissing serpent, for they go upon the sand; they shall come upon Egypt with axes, as men that cut wood.

²¹

И$ слы'ша цр~ь і^ѓа^кимъ, и^ вси кн~ѕи вся словеса`, і^ и^скахђ да и& ё^бїют#. и^ слы'ша ё'рія и^ ё^бояся и^ бњжа`, и^ прїиде въ е^гљ=пеT.

²³

They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, for their number cannot at all be conjectured, for it exceeds the locust in multitude, and they are innumerable.

²²

и^ посла` цр~ь мђжа въ е^гљ=пеT,

²⁴

The daughter of Egypt is confounded; she is delivered into the hands of a people from the north.

²³

і^ и^зведоша и& эTтђдђ и^ приведоша къ цр~ю, и^ пораꙁи и& мечеM и^ въврьже и& въ гробъ сн~овъ людїи е^го

²⁵

Behold, I will avenge Ammon her son upon Pharao, and upon them that trust in him.

²⁴

Раꙁвњ рђка хикама сн~а сафанїина бњ съ і^еремїею, ја%ко не преда'ти е^го в рђцњ людїи е^го, да не ё^бїюT е^го”

²⁷

But fear not thou, my servant Jacob, neither be thou alarmed, Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be at ease, and sleep, and there shall be no one to trouble him.

²⁸

Fear not thou, my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; for I am with thee: she that was without fear and in luxury, has been delivered up: for I will make a full end of every nation among whom I have thrust thee forth; but I will not cause thee to fail: yet will I chastise thee in the way of judgment, and will not hold thee entirely guiltless.
