¹

Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel assembled with fasting, and in sackcloths, and with ashes on their head.

¹

Въ дн~ь же, к~д. мsца сего, собра'шася сн~ове і^и^л~еви въ по'стњ и^ въ врњтищахъ. и^ пер#сть на глава'хъ и^хъ.

²

And the children of Israel separated themselves from every stranger, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

²

и^ эTлђчено е^сть сњмя сн~въ і^и^л~евъ эT вся'каго сн~а чюжда” И$ ста'ша и^сповњ'дахђ грњхи своя, и^ безаконїа эTц~ъ своиX.

³

And they stood in their place, and read in the book of the law of the Lord their god: and they confessed their sins to the Lord, and worshipped the Lord their God.

³

и^ ста'ша на стоа'нїю иX. и^ что'ша въ кни'ѕњ зако'на г~а б~а свое^го. и^сповњда'хђся и^ покланя'хђся г~ђ б~ђ свое^мђ”

⁴

And there stood upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jesus, and the sons of Cadmiel, Sechenia the son of Sarabia, sons of Choneni; and they cried with a loud voice to the Lord their God.

⁴

И$ ста'ша же на стђпню левљ=тоM і^е^сђ'е, и сн~ы ка'дьмии^ли саха'нїа саравїа и^ сн~ове ханани. и^ вопїахђ гла'соM вели'киM къ г~ђ б~ђ свое^мђ”

⁵

And the Levites, Jesus and Cadmiel, said, Rise up, bless the Lord our God forever and ever: and let them bless thy glorious name, and exalt it with all blessing and praise.

⁵

И$ реко'ша левљ=ти и^е^сђ'е, и^ каDмїиl. воста'ните и^ блsви'те г~а б~а на'шего эT' вњка да'же до' вњка. и^ блsвяT и^мя сла'вы твое'я. и^ вознесђтъ въ вся'ко блsвенїе и^ хва'лђ”

⁶

And Esdras said, Thou art the only true Lord; thou madest the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all their array, the earth, and all things that are in it, the seas, and all things in them; and thou quickenest all things, and the hosts of heaven worship thee.

⁶

И$ ре'че е'здра. т^ы самъ г~и е^ді'нъ. т^ы сътвори` нб~о, и^ нб~о нб~ное. и^ вс^я во'и и^хъ, и^ землю` и^ вс^я ја^же в не'и сђть. мо'ря и^ вс^я ја%же в ни'хъ е^сть. и^ т^ы ѓ^живи'ши вс^я сїя. и^ во'и нбsнїи тебњ ся покланя'ютъ”

⁷

Thou art the Lord God, thou didst choose Abram, and broughtest him out of the land of the Chaldeans, and gavest him the name of Abraam:

⁷

Ты` г~и б~е и^же и^збра'лъ е^си а^враа'ма. і^ и^звелъ е^си е^го эT селе'нїя халде'искаго, и^ положи'лъ е^си и^мя е^го а^враа'мъ”

⁸

and thou foundest his heart faithful before thee, and didst make a covenant with him to give to him and to his seed the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites; and thou hast confirmed thy words, for thou art righteous.

⁸

И$ ѓ^брњлъ е^си срDце е^го вњрно преD тобо'ю. и^ завњщаl е^си с ни'мъ ми'ръ, дати е^мђ зе'млю ханане'искђ, и^ хетъџе'искђ, и^ а^м#море'искђ, и^ ферезе'искђ, і^ е^вђсе'искђ и^ гергесе'искђ, и^ сњмени е^го” И$ напо'лнилъ е^си словеса` твоа` ја%ко пра'веденъ е^си.

⁹

And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and thou heardest their cry at the Red Sea.

⁹

и^ видњлъ е^си ѓ^злобле'нїе эTц~ъ на'шихъ въ е^гљ=п#тњ” Во'пль же и^хъ ё^слы'шалъ е^си на' морњ чрьмнMњ.

¹⁰

And thou shewedst signs and wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knowest that they behaved insolently against them: and thou madest thyself a name, as at this day.

¹⁰

и^ далъ е^си зна'менїе и^ чюдеса` въ е^гљ=птњ, на фараѓ'на и^ на вся` рабы` е^го, и^ на вси` лю'дїе земли` е^го” Позна'лъ б^о е^си и^ жестоко сътвори'шася протиv и^хъ. и^ сътвори'лъ е^си себњ` и^мя” ЈА/ко въ то'й дн~ь

¹¹

And thou didst cleave the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and thou didst cast into the deep them that were about to pursue them, as a stone in the mighty water.

¹¹

и^ море раздњлъ е^си преD ни'ми. и^ пройдо'ша по'средњ мо'ря по' сђхђ” И$ гони'тели же иX въверглъ е^си въ глђби'нђ, ја%ко ка'мень въ во'дњ ѕњ'лнњ.

¹²

And thou guidedst them by day by a pillar of cloud, and by night by a pillar of fire, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.

¹²

и^ въ столпњ ѓ%блачнњ водиl е^си и^хъ во' дн~и. и^ во столпњ ѓ%гненњ в но'щи, дабы' ся ѓ^свњща'лъ иM пђть по не'мђже и^до'ша”

¹³

Also thou camest down upon mount Sina, and thou spakest to them out of heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and laws of truth, ordinances, and good commandments.

¹³

И на' горђ же сина'искђю съшелъ е^си, и^ гл~алъ е^си с ни'ми съ нб~се” И$ да'лъ е^си иM сђдїи` пра'вы, и^ зако'нъ и%стинныи. чи'ны и^ повеленїя бл~га”

¹⁴

And thou didst make known to them thy holy sabbath; thou didst enjoin upon them commandments, and ordinances, and a law, by the hand of thy servant Moses.

¹⁴

И$ сђбо'тђ ст~ђю твою ја^ви'лъ е^си иM и^ повелњнїе и^ чи'ны, и^ за'конъ повелњлъ е^си и^мъ въ рђ'кђ мољ=сїѓвђ раба` твое^го.

¹⁵

And thou gavest them bread from heaven for their food, and thou broughtest them forth water from a rock for their thirst; and thou badest them go in to inherit the land over which thou stretchedst out thy hand to give it them.

¹⁵

хлњбъ же съ нб~си да'лъ е^си и^мъ въ а^лчъбњ и^хъ въ сы'тость и^мъ. и^ во'дђ и^с ка'мени и^звелъ е^си и^мъ жаждђщимъ и^мъ” И$ реклъ е^си иM да вни'дђтъ и^ въздръжа'тъ зе'млю, на ню'же простерлъ рђ'кђ твою` дати иM”

¹⁶

But they and our fathers behaved proudly, and hardened their neck, and did not hearken to thy commandments,

¹⁶

Сїи же и^ эTц~и на'ши го'р#до съдњла'ша ѓ^жесточи'ша вы'я своя. и^ не слы'шаша за'повњдїи твои^хъ.

¹⁷

and refused to listen, and remembered not thy wonders which thou wroughtest with them; and they hardened their neck, and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt: but thou, O God, art merciful and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and thou didst not forsake them.

¹⁷

и^ не хотњша слы'шати и^ не сђть въспомянђли ди'вная твоа` и^же сътвори'лъ е^си и^мъ. и^ ѓ^жест'њ вы'я и^хъ и^ да'ша главђ` да ѓ^бра'тяTся на рабо'тђ свою` въ е^гљ=петъ” Ты' же б~е и^сцњли'тель, грњхо'въ защити'тель, и^ млsрдъ длъготрьпеливъ, и^ мно'гомлsтивъ не ѓ^ста'виши иX”

¹⁸

And still farther they even made to themselves a molten calf, and said, These are the gods that brought us up out of Egypt: and they wrought great provocations.

¹⁸

И$ е'ще же сътвори'ша себњ` те'льцы слїаны, и^ реко'ша. сїи сђть бо'ги твои` и^же и^зведоша т^я эT е^гљ=пта. сътвори'ша же раZдра'женїе ве'лїе”

¹⁹

Yet thou in thy great compassions didst not forsake them in the wilderness: thou didst not turn away from them the pillar of the cloud by day, to guide them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.

¹⁹

Тыy въ млsрдїи твое^мъ мно'ѕњмъ не ѓ^ста'вилъ е^си и^хъ въ пђсты'ни. сто'лпъ ѓ%блачныи не ё^кло'ни эT нихъ въ дн~и да и^зведетъ ихъ по пђти`. и^ стоlпъ ѓ%гненыи въ но'щи, да ска'жетъ и^мъ пђть по не'мђже и^до'ша”

²⁰

And thou gavest thy good Spirit to instruct them, and thou didst not withhold thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water in their thirst.

²⁰

И$ дх~ъ твой бл~гыи да'лъ е^си и^же наё^читъ иX, и^ ма'ннђ твою не ѓ^скђдњлъ е^си эT ё'стъ и^хъ. и^ во'дђ да'лъ е^си и^мъ во жа'ждђ и^хъ”

²¹

And thou didst sustain them forty years in the wilderness; thou didst not allow anything to fail them: their garments did not wax old, and their feet were not bruised.

²¹

Четы'ридеся'ть лњтъ препита'лъ е^си и^хъ въ пђсты'ни, ничто'же и^мъ ѓ^скђдњ, ѓ^дња'нїя иX не състарњшася. и^ сапо'ги иX не разрDашася”

²²

Moreover, thou gavest them kingdoms, and didst divide nations to them: and they inherited the land of Seon king of Esebon, and the land of Og king of Basan.

²²

И$ да'лъ е^си иM црsтва и^ люди и^ преча'сти и^мъ по жре'бїю. и^ въздръжаше зе'млю сїѓ'ню. и^ зе'млю цр~я е^сево'ня. и^ зе'млю і^ѓ'га цр~я савана

²³

And thou didst multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land of which thou spokest to their fathers;

²³

и^ ё^мно'жилъ е^си сн~ы иX ја^ко ѕвњзды нбsныя” І$ и^звелъ е^си и^хъ въ зе'мли ѓ^ ни'х же гл~алъ е^си эTц~емъ и^хъ и^ наслњ'диша ю&.

²⁴

And they inherited it: and thou didst destroy from before them the dwellers in the land of the Chananites, and thou gavest into their hands them and their kings, and the nations of the land, to do unto them as it pleased them.

²⁴

и^ смири'лъ е^си пре ни'ми ѓ^бита'ющїи зе'млю ханане'и, и^ дал# е^си иX въ рђ'кђ иX. и^ цр~и и^хъ и^ лю'ди зе'мли да сътво'рятъ иM ја%ко ё^гоDнотњмъ”

²⁵

And they took lofty cities, and inherited houses full of all good things, wells dug, vineyards, and oliveyards, and every fruit tree in abundance: so they ate, and were filled, and grew fat, and rioted in thy great goodness.

²⁵

И$ прїя'ша гра'ды высо'кїя и^ въздръжа'ша до'мы по'лны всњхъ бл~гихъ, и^ во'ды ѓ^гра'жены ка'менїеM, и^ виногра'ды и^ масли'ны. и^ вся'ко дре'во снDњно въ мно'жество” И$ ја^до'ша и^ насыти'шася и^ ё^тол#стњша и^ разширњшася въ бл~гости се'й вели'цњи.

²⁶

But they turned, and revolted from thee, and cast thy law behind their backs; and they slew thy prophets, who testified against them to turn them back to thee, and they wrought great provocations.

²⁶

і^ и^змњни'шася и^ эTстђпи'ша эT тебе` и^ повръго'ша зако'нъ твой за'ди пло'ти и^х#. и^ прoрки твоа` и^зби'ша, и^же засвњдњтельствовахђ и^мъ да ѓ^братя'тся к тебњ`” И сътвори'ша же хђ'лы вели'ки.

²⁷

Then thou gavest them into the hand of them that afflicted them, and they did afflict them: and they cried to thee in the time of their affliction, and thou didst hear them from thy heaven, and in thy great compassions gavest them deliverers, and didst save them from the hand of them that afflicted them.

²⁷

и^ далъ е^си и^хъ в рђ'кђ ѓ^скорбля'ющих#, и^ ѓ^зло'биша и^хъ. и^ въ вре'мя печа'ли свое'я възопи'ша к тебњ`, и^ т^ы съ нб~си ё^слы'шалъ е^си и^ по щедрота'мъ твои^мъ мно'гимъ. далъ е^си и^мъ сп~сенїе и^же сп~се и^хъ эT рђкъ вра'гъ иX”

²⁸

But when they rested, they did evil again before thee: so thou leftest them in the hands of their enemies, and they ruled over them: and they cried again to thee, and thou heardest them from heaven, and didst deliver them in thy great compassions.

²⁸

И$ е^гда` покои'шася ѓ^бращени сђть, да сътво'рятъ лђкаво преD тобо'ю” И$ ѓ^ста^вилъ е^си иX в рђка'хъ вра'гъ и^хъ и^ нача'льствова'ша и%ми. и^ па'ки ѓ^брати'шася, и^ возопи'ша к тебњ`” Ты' же эT нб~се послђшалъ е^си і^ и^зба'вилъ е^си и^хъ въ щедрота'хъ твои^хъ мно'ѕњхъ,

²⁹

And thou didst testify against them, to bring them back to thy law: but they hearkened not, but sinned against thy commandments and thy judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and they turned their back, and hardened their neck, and heard not.

²⁹

и^ свњдњтельствовалъ е^си и^мъ. да ѓ^братя'тся къ зако'нђ твое^мђ. ѓ^ниy възгордњша и^ не ё^слы'шаша” Но въ повеленїи твое^мъ и^ въ сђдъбахъ твои^хъ съгрњшиша. и^же сътвориT чл~къ и^ живетъ в ниX. и^ даша пле'щи е^же не послђшати, и^ вы'ю свою` ѓ^жесточи'ша и^ не слы'шаша”

³⁰

Yet thou didst bear long with them many years, and didst testify to them by thy Spirit by the hand of thy prophets: but they hearkened not; so thou gavest them into the hand of the nations of the land.

³⁰

И$ продолжиl на ни'хъ лњта мно'га, и^ свњдњтельствовалъ е^си и^мъ съ дх~омъ твоиM. и^ прoрчьствъ прoркъ твоиX не вня'ша” И$ предалъ е^си ихъ в# рђ'кђ лю'деM земъскимъ.

³¹

But thou in thy many mercies didst not appoint them to destruction, and didst not forsake them; for thou art strong, and merciful, and pitiful.

³¹

въ млsрдїих же твоиX мно'ѕXњ не сътвори'лъ е^си, въ сконча'нїе. н^и ѓ^ста'виl е^си иX ја%ко б~ъ ја^ко силенъ млsтиv ще'дръ защитель е^си т^ы”

³²

And now, O our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the terrible, keeping thy covenant and thy mercy, let not all the trouble seem little in thy sight which has come upon us, and our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and upon all thy people, from the days of the kings of Assur even to this day.

³²

И$ нн~њ б~е на'шъ вели'кїи дръжа'вныи и^ стра'шныи. стрегђщїи завњт#, и^ млsти не эTврати лица` твое^го” Вся'каготрђ'да и^же ѓ^брњлъ наs и^ цр~и на'ша и^ нача'лницы на'ши и^ сщ~еnницы на'ши и^ прoрци наша. и^ эTц~ы на'ша, и^ вс^и лю'дїе твои`. эT дн~и цр~евъ а^с#сђ'ръ даy на' дн~ь то'й”

³³

But thou art righteous in all the things that come upon us; for thou hast wrought faithfully, but we have greatly sinned.

³³

И$ т^ы пра'въ е^си во всXњ и^же прїидо'ша на на'съ и^ ја%ко и%стин#ною сътвори'лъ е^си на'мъ” Мы' же нечести'во съдњлахомъ.

³⁴

And our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our fathers, have not performed thy law, and have not given heed to thy commandments, and have not kept thy testimonies which thou didst testify to them.

³⁴

и^ цр~и на'ша, и^ нача'лницы наша, и^ сщ~е'нницы на'ша. и^ эTц~ы на'ша не сътвори'ша зако'на твое^го, и^ не в#нима'ша повеле'нїи твоиX. и^ свњдњтельства твое^го и^же свњдњтельствовалъ е^си в ниX”

³⁵

And they did not serve thee in thy kingdom, and in thy great goodness which thou gavest to them, and in the large and fat land which thou didst furnish before them, and they turned not from their evil devices.

³⁵

И$ тїи въ црsтвїи твое^мъ бл~гомъ. и въ бл~гости твое'и мно'ѕњ ја%же далъ е^си и^мъ. и^ в зе'мли` ширњ'ишеи и^ тђчнои и^же далъ е^си преD ними не послђжи'ша тебњ. и^ не ѓ^брати'шася эT начина'нїи свои^хъ стропти'выX”

³⁶

Behold, we are servants this day, and as for the land which thou gavest to our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good things of it, behold, we are servants upon it:

³⁶

Се м^ы днsь раби` е^смы и^ зе'млю ю%же далъ е^си эTц~емъ на'шимъ ја%сти

³⁷

and its produce is abundant for the kings whom thou didst appoint over us because of our sins; and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, as it pleases them, and we are in great affliction.

³⁷

плоD ея` цр~емъ. и^хже да'лъ е^си намъ за грњхи на'ша, и^ пло'тьми на'шими да владычествђю'тъ. и^ въ скотехъ на'шихъ е^ли'ко ё^гоDнотво'рятъ, и^ въ печа'ли вели'цњ е^смы`”

³⁸

And in regard to all these circumstances we make a covenant, and write it, and our princes, our Levites, and our priests, set their seal to it.

³⁸

НаD всњми си'ми м^ы са'ми, полага'емъ вњрђ и^ пи'шемъ, и^ печата'ютъ вс^и нача'лницы на'ша. и^ левљ=ти на'ша и^ сщ~е'ннцы на'ша”
