¹

O city of blood, wholly false, full of unrighteousness; the prey shall not be handled.

¹

О гра'де кро'вьныи, и^ весь лжиv по'лнъ непра'вды. не пои%щеTся лови'тва,

²

The noise of whips, and the noise of the rumbling of wheels, and of the pursuing horse, and of the bounding chariot,

²

въ гла'съ раTныи, и^ глаs трђса ко'лнаго, и^ ко'ня текђща, и^ ѓ^рђжїя шђмяща,

³

and of the mounting rider, and of the glittering sword, and of the gleaming arms, and of a multitude of slain, and of heavy falling: and there was no end to her nations, but they shall be weak in their bodies

³

и^ кон#ника е%дђща, и^ блиска'юща ме'ча, и^ свита'ющься щиT, и^ мно'жества ја%ꙁвенъ, и^ тя'жка паденїя. и^ не бя'ше кон#ца страна'мъ ея`. і^ и^знемо'гђтъ въ тњлесеX и^хъ эT мно'жесᲄва блђженїя ея`.

⁴

because of the abundance of fornication: she is a fair harlot, and well-favoured, skilled in sorcery, that sells the nations by her fornication, and peoples by her sorceries.

⁴

блDђница добра` и^ ѓ^брадова'на, старњ'ишина влъхвоM, продающая страны` вᲆ блђженїе ея`, и^ племена въ вол#свXњ ея`”

⁵

Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord God Almighty, and I will uncover thy skirts in thy presence, and I will shew the nations thy shame, and the kingdoms thy disgrace.

⁵

Се^ а^зъ на' тя, гл~етъ г~ь б~ъ всемђ` сᲆдръжи'тель. и^ эTкры'ю заждь твои къ лицђ твое^мђ. ѓ^бличю` стра'намъ стыдњнїе твое, и^ црsтвомъ бесче'стїе твое`.

⁶

And I will cast abominable filth upon thee according to thine unclean ways, and will make thee a public example.

⁶

и^ въз#ве'ргђ на' тя ѓ^гнђшенїе по нечистота'мъ твои^мъ, и^ положђ т^я въ при'тчђ.

⁷

And it shall be that every one that sees thee shall go down from thee, and shall say, Wretched Nineve! who shall lament for her? whence shall I seek comfort for her?

⁷

и^ бђдетъ вся'къ видя'и т^я сни'детъ с тебе`. и^ рече'тъ, грᲇшная нинев#вїи. кт^о постенетᲆ по не'и. эTкђдђ и^спрошђ ё^тњше'нїе е'й.

⁸

Prepare thee a portion, tune the chord, prepare a portion for Ammon: she that dwells among the rivers, water is round about her, whose dominion is the sea, and whose walls are water.

⁸

ё^готови'ти ча'сть ёстрои'ти странђ ё^гото'вити ча'сть а^м#монђ живђщїя въ рњкаX” вода` ѓ%крsтъ ея`, е'йже нача'токъ мо'ря, и^ вода` забра'ла ея`,

⁹

And Ethiopia is her strength, and Egypt; and there was no limit of the flight of her enemies; and the Libyans became her helpers.

⁹

и^ е^џїѓ'пїа крњ'пость ея` и^ е^гљ=петъ, и^ нњсть кон#ца бњгъствђ твое^мђ. фђдъ и^ ли'вы бы'ша помо'щницы ея`.

¹⁰

Yet she shall go as a prisoner into captivity, and they shall dash her infants against the ground at the top of all her ways: and they shall cast lots upon all her glorious possessions, and all her nobles shall be bound in chains.

¹⁰

и^ с^и въ преселе'нїе пои^детъ плњн#ница. и^ младе'нца ея` разбїютъ въ зачаTцех# всњхъ пђтїи ея`, и^ ѓ^ всњхъ сла'вныX е^я` въꙁ#вергTђ жре'бїя, и^ вся вое^воды е^я` свя'жђтся пђт'ы”

¹¹

And thou shalt be drunken, and shalt be overlooked; and thou shalt seek for thyself strength because of thine enemies.

¹¹

И$ т^ы ё^пїешися и^ бђдеши ѓ^биDна. ты' же самA себњ` взы'щеши ё^ставленїя эT враh.

¹²

All thy strong-holds are as fig-trees having watchers: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater.

¹²

вс^я твердњли твоя` ја%ко смоквинїе стра'жа и^мђщее, а^ще поколњблюTся и^ в#падђтъ въ ё^ста` ја^дђщаго”

¹³

Behold, thy people within thee are as women: the gates of thy land shall surely be opened to thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.

¹³

Се^ лю'дїе твои` ја%ко же'ны въ тебњ`, враго'мъ твои^мᲆ ѓ^творя'ема ѓ^тво'рятся вра'та земля` твое'я, и^ поја%сть ѓ%гнь верея твоа`.

¹⁴

Draw thee water for a siege, and well secure thy strong-holds: enter into the clay, and be thou trodden in the chaff, make the fortifications stronger than brick.

¹⁴

во'дђ держанїя въсхити себњ` са'мъ, и^ ё^тврᲆди тве'рди твоа`. влњзи въ бре'нїе и^ попери въ плњвах#, ё^тверди па'че лаи%ны.

¹⁵

There the fire shall devour thee; the sword shall utterly destroy thee, it shall devour thee as the locust, and thou shalt be pressed down as a palmerworm.

¹⁵

та'мо поја%сть т^я ѓ%гнь, потреби'тᲆ т^я ѓ^рђжїе, поја%дяT т^я а^ки прђѕи. и^ ѓ^тяж#ча'етъ а^ки м#шица.

¹⁶

Thou hast multiplied thy merchandise beyond the stars of heaven: the palmerworm has attacked it, and has flown away.

¹⁶

ё^мно'жи кђпля` твоа паq ѕвњздъ нбsныхъ. м#шица ё^стреми'шася, и^ въꙁлетњша.

¹⁷

Thy mixed multitude has suddenly departed as the grasshopper, as the locust perched on a hedge in a frosty day; the sun arises, and it flies off, and knows not its place: woe to them!

¹⁷

восльпе а^ки прђгъ помо'щникъ тво'и сњдя` на плети'нњ въ дн~ь стђден#. слн~це възы'идетъ и^ эTлетᲇ, и^ не позна'ся мњсто е^го” Люте е'й.

¹⁸

Thy shepherds have slumbered, the Assyrian king has laid low thy mighty men: thy people departed to the mountains, and there was none to receive them.

¹⁸

въздрњма'шася пастђси` твои` цр~ь а^сљ=рїискь ё^спи` си'лныя твоя`, въZдви'гошаs лю'дїе твои` къ гора'мъ, и^ не бя'ше ждђщаго.

¹⁹

There is no healing for thy bruise; thy wound has rankled: all that hear the report of thee shall clap their hands against thee; for upon whom has not thy wickedness passed continually?

¹⁹

не бђдетъ цњлбы съкрђшенїю твое^мђ раZгорњся ја%зва ᲄвоа. вс^и слы'шавшїи вњ'сть твою, въспле'щђтъ рђка'ма по тебњ`. и%мже до кого не до'иде ѕлоба твоя` всегда`”
