¹

As for the ungodly, wrath came upon them without mercy unto the end: for he knew before what they would do;

¹

Нечєсти1вымъ же до концA без8 ми1лости ћрость нaйде: предвёдэ бо и4хъ и3 б{дущаz,

²

how that having given them leave to depart, and sent them hastily away, they would repent and pursue them.

²

ћкw тjи tпусти1вшіи, є4же tити2, и3 со тщaніемъ предпослaвше и5хъ, поженyтъ в8слёдъ раскazвшесz:

³

For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to be gone.

³

є3щe бо въ рукaхъ и3мёюще рыд†ніz и3 сётующе над8 гробaми мeртвыхъ, и4нъ себЁ взsша п0мыслъ безyміz, и3 и5хже молsще и3згнaша, си1хъ ѓки бэглецє1въ гонsху.

⁴

For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had already happened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting to their torments:

⁴

Влечaше бо и5хъ къ семY концY дост0йнаz нyжда, и3 приклю1чшихсz забhтіе вложи2, да и3 пр0чую къ мучeніємъ принап0лнzтъ кaзнь:

⁵

and that thy people might pass through a wonderful way: but they might find a strange death.

⁵

и3 лю1діе ќбw твои2 преслaвное путьшeствіе прeйдутъ, nни1 же стрaнну њбрsщутъ смeрть.

⁶

For the whole creature in his proper kind was fashioned again anew, serving the peculiar commandments that were given unto them, that thy children might be kept without hurt:

⁶

Всe бо творeніе во своeмъ є3мY р0дэ пaки свhше преwбразовaшесz, служaщее св0йствєннымъ твои6мъ повелёніємъ, да џтроцы твои2 сохранsтсz невреждeни.

⁷

as namely, a cloud shadowing the camp; and where water stood before, dry land appeared; and out of the Red sea a way without impediment; and out of the violent stream a green field:

⁷

W$блакъ њсэнszй п0лкъ и4хъ, и3 и3з8 преждебhвшіz воды2 tкрhтіе сухjz земли2 kви1сz, и3 и3з8 м0рz чермнaгw пyть невозбрaненъ, и3 п0ле ѕлaчное t волнeніz ѕёлнагw:

⁸

through which all the people went that were defended with thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders.

⁸

и4мже вeсь kзhкъ пр0йде, твоeю рук0ю покровeни, ви1дzще ди6внаz чудесA.

⁹

For they went at large like horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them.

⁹

Ћкоже бо к0ни насhтишасz, и3 ћкw ѓгнцы взыгрaшасz, хвaлzще тS, гDи, и3збaвльшаго и5хъ:

¹⁰

For they were yet mindful of the things that were done while they sojourned in the strange land, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes.

¹⁰

воспомzнyша бо є3щE, ±же во њбитaніи и4хъ, кaкw ќбw вмёстw рождeніz жив0тныхъ и3зведE землS скн‡пы, вмёстw же рhбъ и3зрhгну рэкA мн0жество жaбъ.

¹¹

But afterward they saw a new generation of fowls, when, being led with their appetite, they asked delicate meats.

¹¹

Послэди1 же ви1дэша и3 н0вое рождeніе пти1цъ, є3гдA похотёніемъ подви1гшесz, проси1ша слaдостныz пи1щи.

¹²

For quails came up unto them from the sea for their contentment.

¹²

Во ўтэшeніе бо взыд0ша и5мъ t м0рz крaстєли: и3 мучє1ніz грBшнымъ наид0ша, не без8 бhвшихъ знaменій си1лою м0лній: прaведнэ бо пострадaша за сво‰ ѕлHбы,

¹³

And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.

¹³

и4бо лютёйшее ненавидёніе стрaнныхъ соверши1ша: и3нjи ќбw незнaемыхъ не пріeмлzху пришeлцєвъ, сjи же благодётелей стрaнныхъ порабощaху.

¹⁴

For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them.

¹⁴

И# не т0кмw, но ѓще к0е разсмотрeніе бyдетъ и4хъ: занE враждeбнw пріeмлzху чуждhхъ.

¹⁵

And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly:

¹⁵

Сjи же съ прaзднествами пріeмше приwбщи1вшихсz ўжE и4хъ њбhчаємъ, жесточaйшими њѕл0биша трудaми.

¹⁶

but these very grievously afflicted them, whom they had received with feastings, and were already made partakers of the same laws with them.

¹⁶

Побіeни же бhша и3 њслэплeніемъ, ћкоже џніи при двeрехъ прaведника, є3гдA вели1кою њбложeни тм0ю, кjйждо свои1хъ двeрій прох0да и3скaше.

¹⁷

Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man: when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage of his own doors.

¹⁷

Сaми бо соб0ю стіх‡и премэнsємы, ћкоже въ гyслехъ глaсы сли1чіz и4мz премэнsютъ, всегдA хранsще звyкъ: є4же є4сть ви1дэти t зрaка бhвшихъ и3звёстнw.

¹⁸

For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived by the sight of the things that have been done.

¹⁸

Земн†z бо въ вHднаz прелагaхусz, и3 пл†вающаz прехождaху на зeмлю.

¹⁹

For earthly things were turned into watery, and the things, that before swam in the water, now went upon the ground.

¹⁹

Џгнь возмогaше въ водЁ вhшше своеS си1лы, и3 водA ўгашaющую си1лу забы2.

²⁰

The fire had power in the water, forgetting his own virtue: and the water forgat his own quenching nature.

²⁰

Плaмень вопреки2 ўдоботлённыхъ жив0тныхъ не вреди2 пл0тей въ нeмъ ходsщихъ, нижE таsше ледови1дный ўдоботazй р0дъ слaдостныz пи1щи.

²¹

On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of the corruptible living things, though they walked therein; neither melted they the icy kind of heavenly meat, that was of nature apt to melt.

²¹

По всемy бо, гDи, возвели1чилъ є3си2 лю1ди тво‰ и3 прослaвилъ є3си2, и3 не презрёлъ є3си2, во всsцэмъ врeмени и3 мёстэ предстоsй.

²²

For in all things, O Lord, thou didst magnify thy people, and glorify them, neither didst thou lightly regard them: but didst assist them in every time and place.
