The word of the Lord which came to Joel the son of Bathuel.

¹

Сло'во гн~е е^же бы'сть кᲆ і^ѓ^и^лю ваџђи'левђ”

²

Hear these words, ye elders, and hearken all ye that inhabit the land. Have such things happened in your days, or in the days of your fathers?

²

Слы'шите с^е ста'рцы, и^ внђша'ите вс^и живђщїи на ꙁемли`. а^ще е^сть бы'ло си'це въ дн~и вашA, или въ дн~и эTц~ь вашихъ.

³

Tell your children concerning them, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

³

ѓ^ ни'хъ ча'домъ свои^мъ и^сповњдите, а^ ча'да ва'ша ча'домъ и^хъ, а^ ча'да и^хъ ро'дђ дрђго'мђ.

⁴

The leavings of the caterpillar has the locust eaten, and the leavings of the locust has the palmerworm eaten, and the leavings of the palmerworm has the cankerworm eaten.

⁴

ѓ^ста'нокᲆ гђсњниць поја%до'ша прђ'ꙁи, и^ ѓ^ста'нокъ прђжїи поја^до'ша м#ши'ца, и^ ѓ^ста'нокъ м#ши'ць поја^до'ша си'плеве”

⁵

Awake, ye drunkards, from your wine, and weep: mourn, all ye that drink wine to drunkenness: for joy and gladness are removed from your mouth.

⁵

Оу^треꙁвитеся пїя'нїи эT вина` свое^го и^ пла'читеся, рыда'ите вс^и пїющеи вино` до пїан#ства, ја%ко и^ꙁя'ся эT ё%стъ ва'шихъ весе'лїе и^ ра'дость.

⁶

For a strong and innumerable nation is come up against my land, their teeth are lion's teeth, and their back teeth those of a lion's whelp.

⁶

ја%ко ја^ꙁыk въꙁы'иде на' ꙁемлю мою крњ'покъ и^ без# числа`, ꙁђ'бы е^го ја%ко и^ ꙁђ'бы льво'вы, и^ чрњновиTцы е^го ја%ко и^ льви'чищђ.

⁷

He has ruined my vine, and utterly broken my fig-trees: he has utterly searched my vine, and cast it down; he has peeled its branches.

⁷

положи винограD мои въ погђбленїе, и^ смоквинїе мое въ сломле'нїе. в#зыска'я ѓ^бъи^ска и& и^ съврьже, ѓ^бњли ло'ꙁїе е^го.

⁸

Lament to me more than a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

⁸

въспла'чется къ мнњ паче невњ'сты препоя'саны въ врњтище по мђжи е^я` дв~ьственнMњ”

⁹

The meat-offering and drink-offering are removed from the house of the Lord: mourn, ye priests that serve at the altar of the Lord.

⁹

И$з#връжеся тре'ба и^ въꙁлїя'нїе и^з до'мђ гн~я. пла'читеся жръцы слђжа'щеи тре'бникђ,

¹⁰

For the plains languish: let the land mourn, for the corn languishes; the wine is dried up, the oil becomes scarce;

¹⁰

ја%ко пострада'ша поля'ны. пла'чися ꙁемле ја%ко пострада п#шени'ца, и^ пресше вино`, ё^мни'ся ма'сло древя'ное,

¹¹

the husbandmen are consumed: mourn your property on account of the wheat and barley; for the harvest has perished from off the field.

¹¹

ѓ^срами'шася дњлателе. пла'читеся се'ла по пшени'цы, и^ по ја^чме'ни, ја%ко и^ погибо'шA и^манїя съ ни'вы.

¹²

The vine is dried up, and the fig-trees are become few; the pomegranate, and palm-tree, and apple, and all the trees of the field are dried up: for the sons of men have abolished joy.

¹²

винограD пос#ше, и^ смокви'нїе, ѓ^малњ ши'пчїе. и^ фини'ћ, и^ ја%блонь, и^ вс^е дре'во пол#ское и^сше, ја%ко срами'ша ра'дость сн~ове чл~чи.

¹³

Gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament, ye priests: mourn, ye that serve at the altar: go in, sleep in sackcloths, ye that minister to God: for the meat-offering and drink-offering are withheld from the house of your God.

¹³

препояши'теся и^ пїите жръцы плачитеся слђжа'щеи тре'бникђ, внидњте ё^сплњте на врњтищехъ слђжа'щеи б~ђ, ја%ко эTја%ся эT до'мђ б~а вашего тре'ба и^ въꙁлїя'нїе.

¹⁴

Sanctify a fast, proclaim a solemn service, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of your God, and cry earnestly to the Lord,

¹⁴

ѓ^ст~ите а^л#ка'нїе, проповњди'те цњ'лбђ” съберњте ста'рца и^ вся живђщая на ꙁемли` въ доM б~а вашего. и^ възовњте къ г~ђ продолжа'юще.

¹⁵

Alas, alas, alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is nigh, and it will come as trouble upon trouble.

¹⁵

ёO лю'те мнњ`, ёO лю'те мнњ вᲆ дн~ь, ја^ко бли'ꙁъ е^сть дн~ь гн~ь, и^ ја%ко стрsть эT стрsти прїидетъ.

¹⁶

Your meat has been destroyed before your eyes, joy and gladness from out of the house of your God.

¹⁶

ја%ко преD ѓ^чи'ма вашима пи'ща вꙁя'шася, и^ эT до'мђ б~а вашего весе'лїе и^ ра'дость.

¹⁷

The heifers have started at their mangers, the treasures are abolished, the wine-presses are broken down; for the corn is withered.

¹⁷

въскопыснђша ю%ница ё^ ја^сли и^хъ, и^ съплњснивњша жи'тница эT лњплњнїя и^хъ, погибо'ша и^мњ'нїя и^хъ, раскопа'шася тњсцы ја%ко посше пшени'ца.

¹⁸

What shall we store up for ourselves? the herds of cattle have mourned, because they had no pasture; and the flocks of sheep have been utterly destroyed.

¹⁸

чт^о положимъ себњ`. вᲆспла'кашася ста'да волђя ја%ко не бњ` па'жити и^мъ, и^ па'ствы ѓ%вчая погибо'ша.

¹⁹

To thee, O Lord, will I cry: for fire has devoured the fair places of the wilderness, and a flame has burnt up all the trees of the field.

¹⁹

к тебњ г~и възᲆпїю, ја%ко ѓ%гнь потреби предњ'лы пђсты'ня, и^ пла'мень пож#же вс^е дре'во по'льское.

²⁰

And the cattle of the field have looked up to thee: for the fountains of waters have been dried up, and fire has devoured the fair places of the wilderness.

²⁰

и^ ско'ти по'льстїи въꙁрњша к тебњ, ја%ко посхо'ша и^сто'чницы воDнїи, и^ ѓ'гнь поја%сть предњ'лы пђсты'ня”
