And it came to pass in the fourth year of Darius the king, that the word of the Lord came to Zacharias on the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Chaseleu.

¹

И҆ бы́сть въ четве́ртое лѣ́то, при да́рїи царѝ, бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇не ко заха́рїи въ четве́ртый мцⷭ҇а девѧ́тагѡ, и҆́же є҆́сть хаселе́ѵъ.

²

And Sarasar and Arbeseer the king and his men sent to Bæthel, and that to propitiate the Lord,

²

И҆ посла̀ въ веѳи́ль сараса́ръ и҆ а҆рвесее́ръ ца́рь и҆ мꙋ́жїе є҆гѡ̀ моли́ти гдⷭ҇а,

³

speaking to the priests that were in the house of the Lord Almighty, and to the prophets, saying, The holy offering has come in hither in the fifth month, as it has done already many years.

³

глаго́лѧ ко свѧще́нникѡмъ, и҆̀же во хра́мѣ гдⷭ҇а (бг҃а) вседержи́телѧ, и҆ проро́кѡмъ, глаго́лѧ: а҆́ще вни́де здѣ̀ въ пѧ́тый мцⷭ҇ъ ст҃ы́нѧ, (пла́чѧ и҆лѝ постѧ́сѧ,) ꙗ҆́коже сотвори́хъ оу҆жѐ мнѡ́га лѣ̑та.

⁴

And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,

⁴

И҆ бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇а вседержи́телѧ ко мнѣ̀ гл҃ѧ:

⁵

Speak to the whole people of the land, and to the priests, saying, Though ye fasted or lamented in the fifth or seventh months (yea, behold, these seventy years) have ye at all fasted to me?

⁵

рцы̀ ко всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ землѝ и҆ ко свѧще́нникѡмъ глаго́лѧ: а҆́ще пости́стесѧ и҆лѝ плачево́пльствисте въ пѧти́нахъ и҆лѝ седми́нахъ (мцⷭ҇а), и҆ сѐ, се́дмьдесѧтъ лѣ́тъ, посто́мъ ли пости́стесѧ мѝ;

⁶

And if ye eat or drink, do ye not eat and drink for yourselves?

⁶

и҆ а҆́ще ꙗ҆́сте и҆лѝ пїетѐ, не вы́ ли ꙗ҆́сте и҆ пїетѐ;

⁷

Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and her cities round about her, and the hill country and the low country was inhabited?

⁷

Не сїѧ̑ ли сꙋ́ть словеса̀, ꙗ҆̀же гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь рꙋка́ми прⷪ҇ро́кѡвъ пре́жнихъ, є҆гда̀ бѣ̀ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ населе́нъ и҆ гобзꙋ́ющь, и҆ гра́ди є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆́крестъ, и҆ нагѡ́рнаѧ и҆ подѡ́льнаѧ населє́на бѧ́хꙋ;

⁸

And the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, saying,

⁸

И҆ бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇не ко заха́рїи гл҃ѧ:

⁹

Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Judge righteous judgment, and deal mercifully and compassionately every one with his brother:

⁹

си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель: сꙋ́дъ пра́веденъ сꙋди́те и҆ ми́лость и҆ щедрѡ́ты твори́те кі́йждо ко бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀,

¹⁰

and oppress not the widow, or the fatherless, or the stranger, or the poor; and let not one of you remember in his heart the injury of his brother.

¹⁰

а҆ вдови́цы и҆ си́ра, и҆ прише́лца и҆ оу҆бо́га не наси́льствꙋйте, и҆ ѕло́бы кі́йждо бра́та своегѡ̀ да не по́мнитъ въ сердца́хъ свои́хъ.

¹¹

But they refused to attend, and madly turned their back, and made their ears heavy, so that they should not hear.

¹¹

И҆ не покори́шасѧ, є҆́же внима́ти, и҆ да́ша плещы̀ презира́ющыѧ, и҆ оу҆шеса̀ своѧ̑ ѡ҆тѧготи́ша, є҆́же не слы́шати,

¹²

And they made their heart disobedient, so as not to hearken to my law, and the words which the Lord Almighty sent forth by his Spirit by the former prophets: so there was great wrath from the Lord Almighty.

¹²

и҆ се́рдце своѐ оу҆чини́ша непокори́во, не послꙋ́шати зако́на моегѡ̀ и҆ слове́съ, ꙗ҆̀же посла̀ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель дх҃омъ свои́мъ рꙋко́ю прⷪ҇ро́кѡвъ пре́жнихъ: и҆ бы́сть гнѣ́въ вели́кїй ѿ гдⷭ҇а вседержи́телѧ.

¹³

And it shall come to pass, that as he spoke, and they hearkened not, so they shall cry, and I will not hearken, saith the Lord Almighty.

¹³

И҆ бꙋ́детъ, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ, и҆ не оу҆слы́шаша є҆гѡ̀: си́це возопїю́тъ, и҆ не и҆́мамъ оу҆слы́шати, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель:

¹⁴

And I will cast them out among all the nations, whom they know not; and the land behind them shall be made utterly destitute of any going through or returning: yea they have made the choice land a desolation.

¹⁴

и҆ ѿве́ргꙋ ѧ҆̀ во всѧ̑ ꙗ҆зы́ки, и҆̀же не разꙋмѣ́ша, и҆ землѧ̀ запꙋстѣ́етъ послѣдѝ и҆́хъ ѿ проходѧ́щагѡ и҆ ѿ возвраща́ющагѡсѧ: и҆ оу҆чини́ша и҆збра́ннꙋю зе́млю въ запꙋстѣ́нїе.
