Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings glad tidings, and publishes peace! O Juda, keep thy feasts, pay thy vows: for they shall no more pass through thee to thy decay.

Възыиде в#дыха'яй въ лице твое эTе%мля эT ѓ^скор#бленїа. ё^смотри пђть, ё^крњпи чресла`, възмђжа'и крњ'постїю ѕњло.

²

It is all over with him, he has been removed, one who has been delivered from affliction has come up panting into thy presence, watch the way, strengthen thy loins, be very valiant in thy strength.

²

поне'же эTвраᲄи г~ь ё^кори'знђ і^а'ковлю ја%коже ё^кори'знђ і^и^л~евђ. зане сътреса'ющеи сътрясоша я&, и^ лозы иX расы'паша.

³

For the Lord has turned aside the pride of Jacob, as the pride of Israel: for they have utterly rejected them, and have destroyed their branches.

³

щи'ты си'лныхъ, эT чл~къ мђж'а си'лны и^гра'ющая въ ѓ^гни, бръꙁды ѓ^рђжїя и^хъ въ дн~ь ё^готова'нїя иX, и^ кон#ницы възмятђтся на пђтеX,

⁴

They have destroyed the arms of their power from among men, their mighty men sporting with fire: the reins of their chariots shall be destroyed in the day of his preparation, and the horsemen shall be thrown into confusion

⁴

и^ смятђтся ѓ^рђжїя и^ сплетђтся на стьгнахъ. ви'дъ и^хъ ја%ко свњща ѓ%гнены, и^ ја%ко молнїа мы'кающася.

⁵

in the ways, and the chariots shall clash together, and shall be entangled in each other in the broad ways: their appearance is as lamps of fire, and as gleaming lightnings.

⁵

и^ помянђтъ старњ'ишины и^хъ, и^ пробњгнђтъ дн~їи, и^ эTнемогђтся пђтїе и^хᲆ. и^ потщаTся на забра'ла, и^ ё^гото'вятъ преDняа` страQбы иX”

⁶

And their mighty men shall bethink themselves and flee by day; and they shall be weak as they go; and they shall hasten to her walls, and shall prepare their defences.

⁶

вра'та граDная эTве'рзђтся, и^ црsтвA эTпадо'ша, і^ и^мњнїе эTвръзеся.

⁷

The gates of the cities have been opened, and the palaces have fallen into ruin,

⁷

сїи же вᲆсхожDа'ше. и^ рабы'ня ея` ведя'хђся ја%ко го'лђбїе горка'юще въ срDцыX свои^хъ.

⁸

and the foundation has been exposed; and she has gone up, and her maid-servants were led away as doves moaning in their hearts.

⁸

і^ нинев#вїины ја%ко кђпель воDная воды ея`. и^ сїи же бњжа'ще не сᲄа'ша, и^ не бя'ше ставля'ющаго.

⁹

And as for Nineve, her waters shall be as a pool of water: and they fled, and staid not, and there was none to look back.

⁹

расхита'хђ сребро`, расхиᲄахђ зла'то, и не бя'ше конца и^мњнїя ея, ѓ^тяг#чаша па'че всњхᲆ сосђды и^ꙁволе'нїа е^я`.

¹⁰

They plundered the silver, they plundered the gold, and there was no end of their adorning; they were loaded with it upon all their pleasant vessels.

¹⁰

и^ сътрясенїе и^ потрясенїе и^ въски'пњнїе, и^ срDца съкрђшенїе, и^ раслабленїе колњнїю,и^ бо'лњзнь по всMњ чре'сломъ,и^ лице всњхъ ја%ко ѓ^полњнїе ла'точьное”

¹¹

There is thrusting forth, and shaking, and tumult, and heart-breaking, and loosing of knees, and pangs on all loins; and the faces of all are as the blackening of a pot.

¹¹

Гдњ е^сть ста'я леvская, и^ па'жить сђщая льви'чищеM. ка'мо и%деT ле'въ, ја%ко влњсти тамо льви'чищь, и^ не бя'ше постраша'ющаh.

¹²

Where is the dwelling-place of the lions, and the pasture that belonged to the whelps? where did the lion go, that the lion's whelp should enter in there, and there was none to scare him away?

¹²

ле'въ въсхити'тъ довлњ'ющее льви'чищемъ е^го, и^ ё^дави ло'вомъ е^го, и^ напо'лни лови'твы гнњꙁдо свое, и^ ста'ю свою` въсхита'нїя.

¹³

The lion seized enough prey for his whelps, and strangled for his young lions, and filled his lair with prey, and his dwelling-place with spoil.

¹³

Се а^зъ на' тя, гл~етъ г~ь всемђ` съдръжи'тель. и^ пожегђ ды'момъ мно'жества твоя`, и^ львы твоа` поја%сᲄь ѓ^рђжїе, и^ поᲄреблю съ земля` лови'твђ твою`, и^ не ё^слы'шаTся к#семђ` дњла твоа`”

¹⁴

Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord Almighty, and I will burn up thy multitude in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy lions; and I will utterly destroy thy prey from off the land, and thy deeds shall no more at all be heard of.
