¹

Alas for me! for I am become as one gathering straw in harvest, and as one gathering grape-gleanings in the vintage, when there is no cluster for me to eat the first-ripe fruit: alas my soul!

¹

ⷱ҇И҆́, лю́тѣ мнѣ̀! поне́же бы́хъ а҆́ки собира́ѧй сла́мꙋ на жа́твѣ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ па́родокъ во ѡ҆б̾има́нїи вїногра́да не сꙋ́щꙋ гро́здїю, є҆́же ꙗ҆́сти первоплѡ́днаѧ, ꙗ҆̀же вожделѣ̀ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀.

²

For the godly is perished from the earth; and there is none among men that orders his way aright: they all quarrel even to blood: they grievously afflict every one his neighbour:

²

ⷱ҇И҆́, лю́тѣ мнѣ̀, дꙋшѐ! ꙗ҆́кѡ поги́бе бл҃гочтⷭ҇и́вый ѿ землѝ, и҆ и҆справлѧ́ющагѡ въ человѣ́цѣхъ нѣ́сть: всѝ во кро́вехъ прѧ́тсѧ, кі́йждо бли́жнѧго своего̀ ѡ҆ѕлоблѧ́етъ ѡ҆ѕлобле́нїемъ,

³

they prepare their hands for mischief, the prince asks a reward, and the judge speaks flattering words; it is the desire of their soul:

³

на ѕло̀ рꙋ́ки своѧ̑ оу҆готовлѧ́ютъ: кнѧ́зь про́ситъ, и҆ сꙋдїѧ̀ ми̑рнаѧ словеса̀ глаго́летъ, жела́нїе дꙋшѝ є҆гѡ̀ є҆́сть: и҆ ѿимꙋ̀ блага̑ѧ и҆́хъ,

⁴

therefore I will take away their goods as a devouring moth, and as one who acts by a rigid rule in a day of visitation. Woe, woe, thy times of vengeance are come; now shall be their lamentations.

⁴

ꙗ҆́кѡ мо́ль поѧда́ѧй, и҆ ходѧ́й по пра́виламъ въ де́нь стражбы̀. ⷱ҇И҆́, лю́тѣ! оу҆̀, лю́тѣ! ѿмщє́нїѧ твоѧ̑ приспѣ́ша, нн҃ѣ бꙋ́дꙋтъ пла́чы и҆́хъ.

⁵

Trust not in friends, and confide not in guides: beware of thy wife, so as not to commit anything to her.

⁵

Не вѣ́рите дрꙋгѡ́мъ, ни надѣ́йтесѧ на старѣ̑йшины, и҆ ѿ сожи́телницы твоеѧ̀ храни́сѧ, є҆́же сказа́ти є҆́й что̀:

⁶

For the son dishonours his father, the daughter will rise up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: those in his house shall be all a man's enemies.

⁶

поне́же сы́нъ безче́ститъ ѻ҆тца̀, дще́рь воста́нетъ на ма́терь свою̀ и҆ невѣ́ста на свекро́вь свою̀, вразѝ всѝ мꙋ́жꙋ дома́шнїи є҆гѡ̀.

⁷

But I will look to the Lord; I will wait upon God my Saviour: my God will hearken to me.

⁷

А҆́зъ же ко гдⷭ҇еви воззрю̀, потерплю̀ бг҃а сп҃са моего̀, оу҆слы́шитъ мѧ̀ бг҃ъ мо́й.

⁸

Rejoice not against me, mine enemy; for I have fallen yet shall arise; for though I should sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light to me.

⁸

Не ра́дꙋйсѧ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀, вражде́бница моѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ падо́хъ, и҆ воста́нꙋ: занѐ а҆́ще сѧ́дꙋ во тмѣ̀, гдⷭ҇ь ѡ҆свѣти́тъ мѧ̀.

⁹

I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he make good my cause: he also shall maintain my right, and shall bring me out to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.

⁹

Гнѣ́въ гдⷭ҇ень стерплю̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ согрѣши́хъ є҆мꙋ̀, до́ндеже ѡ҆правди́тъ прю̀ мою̀ и҆ сотвори́тъ сꙋ́дъ мо́й: и҆ и҆зведе́тъ мѧ̀ на свѣ́тъ, и҆ оу҆зрю̀ пра́вдꙋ є҆гѡ̀.

¹⁰

And she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shall clothe herself with shame, who says, Where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall look upon her: now shall she be for trampling as mire in the ways.

¹⁰

И҆ оу҆́зритъ вражде́бница моѧ̀, и҆ ѡ҆блече́тсѧ въ стꙋ́дъ глаго́лющаѧ ко мнѣ̀: гдѣ́ є҆сть гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й; Ѻ҆́чи моѝ воззрѧ́тъ на ню̀, нн҃ѣ бꙋ́детъ въ попра́нїе а҆́ки ка́лъ на пꙋте́хъ.

¹¹

It is the day of making of brick; that day shall be thine utter destruction, and that day shall utterly abolish thine ordinances.

¹¹

Де́нь глажде́нїѧ плі́нѳа: и҆зглажде́нїе твоѐ де́нь ѻ҆́ный, и҆ сотре́тъ зако́ны твоѧ̑ де́нь ѻ҆́ный.

¹²

And thy cities shall be levelled, and parted among the Assyrians; and thy strong cities shall be parted from Tyre to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.

¹²

И҆ гра́ди твоѝ прїи́дꙋтъ на поравне́нїе и҆ въ раздѣле́нїе а҆ссѷрі́йско, и҆ гра́ди твоѝ тве́рдїи въ раздѣле́нїе ѿ тѵ́ра да́же до рѣкѝ сѵ́рскїѧ, и҆ ѿ мо́рѧ да́же до мо́рѧ, и҆ ѿ горы̀ да́же до горы̀, дні́е воды̀ и҆ молвы̀.

¹³

And the land shall be utterly desolate together with them that inhabit it, because of the fruit of their doings.

¹³

И҆ бꙋ́детъ землѧ̀ въ па́гꙋбꙋ со живꙋ́щими на не́й, ѿ плодѡ́въ начина́нїй и҆́хъ.

¹⁴

Tend thy people with thy rod, the sheep of thine inheritance, those that inhabit by themselves the thicket in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in the land of Basan, and in the land of Galaad, as in the days of old.

¹⁴

Пасѝ лю́ди твоѧ̑ жезло́мъ твои́мъ, ѻ҆́вцы наслѣ́дїѧ твоегѡ̀, вселѧ́ющыѧсѧ є҆ди̑ны въ дꙋбра́вѣ средѣ̀ карми́ла, попасꙋ́тъ васані́тїдꙋ и҆ галааді́тїдꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже дні́е вѣ́ка.

¹⁵

And according to the days of thy departure out of Egypt shall ye see marvellous things.

¹⁵

И҆ по днє́мъ и҆схо́да твоегѡ̀ и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта оу҆́зрите чꙋдє́снаѧ.

¹⁶

The nations shall see and be ashamed; and at all their might they shall lay their hands upon their mouth, their ears shall be deafened.

¹⁶

Оу҆́зрѧтъ ꙗ҆зы́цы и҆ оу҆срамѧ́тсѧ ѿ всеѧ̀ крѣ́пости своеѧ̀, рꙋ́цѣ возложа́тъ на оу҆ста̀ своѧ̑, и҆ оу҆́ши и҆́хъ ѡ҆гло́хнꙋтъ,

¹⁷

They shall lick the dust as serpents crawling on the earth, they shall be confounded in their holes; they shall be amazed at the Lord our God, and will be afraid of thee.

¹⁷

поли́жꙋтъ пе́рсть ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕмі́еве плѣ́жꙋще по землѝ, смѧтꙋ́тсѧ во ѡ҆блеже́нїи свое́мъ: ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ бз҃ѣ на́шемъ оу҆жа́снꙋтсѧ и҆ оу҆боѧ́тсѧ ѿ тебє̀.

¹⁸

Who is a God like thee, cancelling iniquities, and passing over the sins of the remnant of his inheritance? and he has not kept his anger for a testimony, for he delights in mercy.

¹⁸

Кто̀ бг҃ъ ꙗ҆́коже ты̀, ѿе́млѧй беззакѡ́нїѧ и҆ ѡ҆ставлѧ́ѧй нечє́стїѧ ѡ҆ста́нкѡмъ наслѣ́дїѧ своегѡ̀; и҆ не оу҆держа̀ гнѣ́ва своегѡ̀ во свидѣ́нїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ воли́тель млⷭ҇ти є҆́сть.

¹⁹

He will return and have mercy upon us; he will sink our iniquities, and they shall be cast into the depths of the sea, even all our sins.

¹⁹

То́й ѡ҆брати́тъ и҆ оу҆ще́дритъ ны̀, и҆ погрꙋзи́тъ непра̑вды на́шѧ и҆ вве́ржетъ въ глꙋбины̑ мѡрскі́ѧ всѧ̑ грѣхѝ на́шѧ,

²⁰

He shall give blessings truly to Jacob, and mercy to Abraam, as thou swarest to our fathers, according to the former days.

²⁰

да́стъ и҆́стинꙋ і҆а́кѡвꙋ, (и҆) млⷭ҇ть а҆враа́мꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже клѧ́лсѧ є҆сѝ ѻ҆тцє́мъ на́шымъ во дни̑ пє́рвыѧ.
