2 Maccabees 1

The brethren, the Jews that be at Jerusalem and in the land of Judea, wish unto the brethren, the Jews that are throughout Egypt health and peace:

ΤΟΙΣ ἀδελφοῖς τοῖς κατ᾿ Αἴγυπτον ᾿Ιουδαίοις χαίρειν. οἱ ἀδελφοὶ οἱ ἐν ῾Ιεροσολύμοις ᾿Ιουδαῖοι καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας εἰρήνην ἀγαθήν·

Бра́тїи сꙋ́щей во є҆гѵ́птѣ і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ ра́доватисѧ: бра́тїѧ и҆̀же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ і҆ꙋде́є и҆ и҆̀же во странѣ̀ і҆ꙋде́йстѣй, ми́ра блага́гѡ:

God be gracious unto you, and remember his covenant that he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, his faithful servants;

καὶ ἀγαθοποιήσαι ὑμῖν ὁ Θεὸς καὶ μνησθείη τῆς διαθήκης αὐτοῦ τῆς πρὸς ῾Αβραὰμ καὶ ᾿Ισαὰκ καὶ ᾿Ιακὼβ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ τῶν πιστῶν·

и҆ да бл҃госотвори́тъ ва́мъ бг҃ъ и҆ да помѧне́тъ завѣ́тъ сво́й и҆́же ко а҆враа́мꙋ и҆ і҆саа́кꙋ и҆ і҆а́кѡвꙋ рабѡ́мъ свои̑мъ вѣ̑рнымъ,

And give you all an heart to serve him, and to do his will, with a good courage and a willing mind;

καὶ δῴη ὑμῖν καρδίαν πᾶσιν εἰς τὸ σέβεσθαι αὐτὸν καὶ ποιεῖν αὐτοῦ τὰ θελήματα καρδίᾳ μεγάλῃ καὶ ψυχῇ βουλομένῃ·

и҆ да да́стъ ва́мъ се́рдце всѣ̑мъ во є҆́же че́ствовати є҆го̀ и҆ твори́ти хотѣ̑нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ се́рдцемъ вели́кимъ и҆ дꙋше́внымъ и҆зволе́нїемъ,

And open your hearts in his law and commandments, and send you peace,

καὶ διανοίξαι τὴν καρδίαν ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασι καὶ εἰρήνην ποιήσαι

и҆ да ѿве́рзетъ сердца̀ ва̑ша въ зако́нѣ свое́мъ и҆ въ повелѣ́нїихъ, и҆ ми́ръ да сотвори́тъ,

And hear your prayers, and be at one with you, and never forsake you in time of trouble.

καὶ ἐπακούσαι ὑμῶν τῶν δεήσεων καὶ καταλλαγείη ὑμῖν καὶ μὴ ὑμᾶς ἐγκαταλίποι ἐν καιρῷ πονηρῷ.

и҆ да ᲂу҆слы́шитъ моли̑твы ва́шѧ и҆ ᲂу҆мили́тсѧ ва́мъ и҆ не ѡ҆ста́витъ ва́съ во вре́мѧ лꙋка́во.

And now we be here praying for you.

καὶ νῦν ὧδέ ἐσμεν προσευχόμενοι περὶ ὑμῶν.

И҆ нн҃ѣ здѣ̀ є҆смы̀ молѧ́щесѧ ѡ҆ ва́съ.

What time as Demetrius reigned, in the hundred threescore and ninth year, we the Jews wrote unto you in the extremity of trouble that came upon us in those years, from the time that Jason and his company revolted from the holy land and kingdom,

βασιλεύοντος Δημητρίου ἔτους ἑκατοστοῦ ἑξηκοστοῦ ἐνάτου, ἡμεῖς οἱ ᾿Ιουδαῖοι γεγράφαμεν ὑμῖν ἐν τῇ θλίψει καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀκμῇ τῇ ἐπελθούσῃ ἡμῖν ἐν τοῖς ἔτεσι τούτοις, ἀφ᾿ οὗ ἀπέστη ᾿Ιάσων καὶ οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς ἁγίας γῆς καὶ τῆς βασιλείας

Ца́рствꙋющꙋ дими́трїю лѣ́та сто̀ шестьдесѧ́тъ девѧ́тагѡ, мы̀ і҆ꙋде́є писа́хомъ ва́мъ въ ско́рби и҆ въ го́рести наше́дшей на́мъ въ лѣ́тѣхъ си́хъ, ѿне́лѣже ѿстꙋпѝ і҆а́сѡнъ и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ ѿ сты́ѧ землѝ и҆ ца́рства,

And burned the porch, and shed innocent blood: then we prayed unto the Lord, and were heard; we offered also sacrifices and fine flour, and lighted the lamps, and set forth the loaves.

καὶ ἐνεπύρισαν τὸν πυλῶνα καὶ ἐξέχεαν αἷμα ἀθῷον· καὶ ἐδεήθημεν τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ εἰσηκούσθημεν καὶ προσηνέγκαμεν θυσίαν καὶ σεμίδαλιν καὶ ἐξήψαμεν τοὺς λύχνους καὶ προεθήκαμεν τοὺς ἄρτους.

и҆ пожго́ша врата̀, и҆ пролїѧ́ша кро́вь непови́ннꙋ: и҆ моли́хомсѧ гдⷭ҇еви, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шани є҆смы̀, и҆ принесо́хомъ же́ртвꙋ и҆ семїда́лъ, и҆ возжго́хомъ свѣти́льники, и҆ предложи́хомъ хлѣ́бы.

And now see that ye keep the feast of tabernacles in the month Casleu.

καὶ νῦν ἵνα ἄγητε τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς σκηνοπηγίας τοῦ Χασελεῦ μηνός. ἔτους ἑκατοστοῦ ὀγδοηκοστοῦ καὶ ὀγδόου».

И҆ нн҃ѣ пра́зднꙋйте дни̑ скинопигі́и хасле́ѵа мцⷭ҇а.

In the hundred fourscore and eighth year, the people that were at Jerusalem and in Judea, and the council, and Judas, sent greeting and health unto Aristobulus, king Ptolemeus’ master, who was of the stock of the anointed priests, and to the Jews that were in Egypt:

«Οἱ ἐν ῾Ιεροσολύμοις καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ καὶ ἡ γερουσία καὶ ᾿Ιούδας ᾿Αριστοβούλῳ διδασκάλῳ Πτολεμαίου τοῦ βασιλέως, ὄντι δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ τῶν χριστῶν ἱερέων γένους, καὶ τοῖς ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ᾿Ιουδαίοις χαίρειν καὶ ὑγιαίνειν.

Лѣ́та сто̀ ѻ҆́смьдесѧтъ ѻ҆сма́гѡ, и҆̀же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ и҆ и҆̀же во і҆ꙋде́и, и҆ старѣ̑йшины и҆ і҆ꙋ́да а҆рїстовꙋ́лꙋ ᲂу҆чи́телю птоломе́а царѧ̀ сꙋ́щемꙋ же ѿ пома́занныхъ і҆ере́євъ ро́да, и҆ сꙋ́щымъ во є҆гѵ́птѣ і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ, ра́доватисѧ и҆ здра́вствовати.

Insomuch as God hath delivered us from great perils, we thank him highly, as having been in battle against a king.

ἐκ μεγάλων κινδύνων ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ σεσωσμένοι μεγάλως εὐχαριστοῦμεν αὐτῷ, ὡς ἂν πρὸς βασιλέα παρατασσόμενοι·

Ѿ вели́кихъ бѣ́дствъ бг҃омъ сп҃се́ни, вельмѝ благодари́мъ є҆мꙋ̀, а҆́ки на царѧ̀ ѡ҆полча́ющїисѧ.

For he cast them out that fought within the holy city.

αὐτὸς γὰρ ἐξέβρασε τοὺς παραταξαμένους ἐν τῇ ἁγίᾳ πόλει.

Се́й бо и҆зведѐ ѡ҆полча́ющихсѧ на ст҃ы́й гра́дъ:

For when the leader was come into Persia, and the army with him that seemed invincible, they were slain in the temple of Nanea by the deceit of Nanea’s priests.

εἰς γὰρ τὴν Περσίδα γενόμενος ὁ ἡγεμὼν καὶ ὁ περὶ αὐτὸν ἀνυπόστατος δοκοῦσα εἶναι δύναμις, κατεκόπησαν ἐν τῷ τῆς Ναναίᾳς ἱερῷ, παραλογισμῷ χρησαμένων τῶν περὶ τὴν Ναναίαν ἱερέων.

въ персі́дꙋ бо бы́въ вождо́мъ, и҆ при не́мъ нестерпи́маѧ мнѧ́щаѧсѧ бы́ти си́ла, посѣ́чени бы́ша въ ка́пищи нане́и, прельщє́нїѧ ᲂу҆потреби́вшымъ жерцє́мъ сꙋ́щымъ при нане́и.

For Antiochus, as though he would marry her, came into the place, and his friends that were with him, to receive money in name of a dowry.

ὡς γὰρ συνοικήσων αὐτῇ παρεγένετο εἰς τὸν τόπον ὅ τε ᾿Αντίοχος καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ φίλοι χάριν τοῦ λαβεῖν τὰ χρήματα εἰς φερνῆς λόγον·

А҆́ки бо спребыва́ти хотѧ̀ є҆́й, прїи́де на мѣ́сто а҆нтїо́хъ и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ дрꙋ́зи, взѧ́тїѧ ра́ди сре́бреникѡвъ под̾ и҆́менемъ вѣ́на:

Which when the priests of Nanea had set forth, and he was entered with a small company into the compass of the temple, they shut the temple as soon as Antiochus was come in:

καὶ προθέντων αὐτὰ τῶν ἱερέων τῆς Ναναίας κἀκείνου προσελθόντος μετ᾿ ὀλίγων εἰς τὸν περίβολον τοῦ τεμένους, συγκλείσαντες, τὸ ἱερόν, ὡς εἰσῆλθεν ᾿Αντίοχος,

и҆ предложи́вшымъ сїѧ̑ жерцє́мъ нане́и, и҆ ѻ҆́номꙋ вше́дшꙋ съ ма́лыми въ притво́ръ ка́пища, заключи́вше ка́пище,

And opening a privy door of the roof, they threw stones like thunderbolts, and struck down the captain, hewed them in pieces, smote off their heads and cast them to those that were without.

ἀνοίξαντες τὴν τοῦ φατνώματος κρυπτὴν θύραν, βάλοντες πέτρους συνεκεραύνωσαν τὸν ἡγεμόνα καὶ μέλη ποιήσαντες καὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς ἀφελόντες τοῖς ἔξω παρέρριψαν.

є҆гда̀ вни́де а҆нтїо́хъ, ѿве́рзше сво́да сокрове́ннꙋю две́рь, мета́юще ка́менїе поби́ша и҆ге́мѡна и҆ сꙋ́щихъ съ ни́мъ, и҆ раздѣли́вше на ᲂу҆́ды и҆ главы̑ ѿсѣ́кше и҆змета́ша къ сꙋ́щымъ внѣ̀.

Blessed be our God in all things, who hath delivered up the ungodly.

κατὰ πάντα εὐλογητὸς ἡμῶν ὁ Θεός, ὃς παρέδωκε τοὺς ἀσεβήσαντας.

Ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ блгⷭ҇ве́нъ на́шъ бг҃ъ, и҆́же предадѐ нече́ствовавшихъ.

Therefore whereas we are now purposed to keep the purification of the temple upon the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, we thought it necessary to certify you thereof, that ye also might keep it, as the feast of the tabernacles, and of the fire, which was given us when Neemias offered sacrifice, after that he had builded the temple and the altar.

μέλλοντες οὖν ἄγειν ἐν τῷ Χασελεῦ πέμπτη καὶ εἰκάδι τὸν καθαρισμὸν τοῦ ἱεροῦ, δέον ἡγησάμεθα διασαφῆσαι ὑμῖν, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ ἄγητε τῆς σκηνοπηγίας καὶ τοῦ πυρός, ὅτε Νεεμίας οἰκοδομήσας τό τε ἱερὸν καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἀνήνεγκε θυσίαν.

Хотѧ́ще ᲂу҆̀бо пра́здновати два́десѧть пѧ́тагѡ днѐ мцⷭ҇а хасле́ѵа ѡ҆чище́нїе це́ркве, потре́бно непщева́хомъ и҆звѣсти́ти ва́мъ, да и҆ вы̀ пра́зднꙋете де́нь скинопигі́и и҆ ѻ҆гнѧ̀, є҆гда̀ неемі́а созда́въ це́рковь и҆ ѻ҆лта́рь, принесѐ же́ртвꙋ.

For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that were then devout took the fire of the altar privily, and hid it in an hollow place of a pit without water, where they kept it sure, so that the place was unknown to all men.

καὶ γὰρ ὅτε εἰς τὴν Περσικὴν ἤγοντο οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν, οἱ τότε εὐσεβεῖς ἱερεῖς λαβόντες ἀπὸ τοῦ πυρὸς τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου λαθραίως, κατέκρυψαν ἐν κοιλώματι φρέατος τάξιν ἔχοντος ἀνύδρου, ἐν ᾧ κατησφαλίσαντο ὥστε πᾶσιν ἄγνωστον εἶναι τὸν τόπον.

И҆́бо є҆гда̀ въ персі́дꙋ ведѧ́хꙋсѧ ѻ҆тцы̀ на́ши, тогда̀ жерцы̀ боѧ́щїисѧ бг҃а взе́мше ѿ ѻ҆гнѧ̀ ѻ҆лта́рнагѡ ѡ҆́тай, скры́ша во ю҆до́ль кла́дѧзѧ дно̀ и҆мѣ́юща безво́дное, и҆ въ не́мъ соблюдо́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѣ̑мъ невѣ́домꙋ бы́ти мѣ́стꙋ.

Now after many years, when it pleased God, Neemias, being sent from the king of Persia, did send of the posterity of those priests that had hid it to the fire: but when they told us they found no fire, but thick water;

διελθόντων δὲ ἐτῶν ἱκανῶν, ὅτε ἔδοξε τῷ Θεῷ, ἀποσταλεὶς Νεεμίας ὑπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως τῆς Περσίδος τοὺς ἐκγόνους τῶν ἱερέων τῶν ἀποκρυψάντων ἔπεμψεν ἐπὶ τὸ πῦρ· ὡς δὲ διεσάφησαν ἡμῖν μὴ εὑρηκέναι πῦρ, ἀλλὰ ὕδωρ παχύ,

Преминꙋ́вшымъ же лѣ́тѡмъ мнѡ́гимъ, є҆гда̀ и҆зво́лисѧ бг҃ꙋ, по́сланный неемі́а ѿ царѧ̀ персі́дскагѡ, внꙋ́ки жерцє́въ сокры́вшихъ посла̀ на взыска́нїе ѻ҆гнѧ̀: и҆ ꙗ҆́коже повѣ́даша на́мъ, не ѡ҆брѣто́ша ѻ҆гнѧ̀, но во́дꙋ гꙋ́стꙋ,

Then commanded he them to draw it up, and to bring it; and when the sacrifices were laid on, Neemias commanded the priests to sprinkle the wood and the things laid thereupon with the water.

ἐκέλευσεν αὐτοὺς ἀποβάψαντας φέρειν. ὡς δὲ ἀνηνέχθη τὰ τῶν θυσιῶν, ἐκέλευσε τοὺς ἱερεῖς Νεεμίας ἐπιρρᾶναι τῷ ὕδατι τά τε ξύλα καὶ τὰ ἐπικείμενα.

повелѣ̀ и҆̀мъ че́рпати и҆ принестѝ: є҆гда́ же принесє́на бы́ша же́ртвєннаѧ, повелѣ̀ жерцє́мъ неемі́а покропи́ти водо́ю дрова̀ и҆ лежа̑щаѧ на ни́хъ.

When this was done, and the time came that the sun shone, which afore was hid in the cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that every man marvelled.

ὡς δὲ ἐγένετο τοῦτο καὶ χρόνος διῆλθεν ὅ τε ἥλιος ἀνέλαμψε, πρότερον ἐπινεφὴς ὤν, ἀνήφθη πυρὰ μεγάλη ὥστε θαυμάσαι πάντας.

Є҆гда́ же бы́сть сїѐ, и҆ вре́мѧ прїи́де, є҆гда̀ со́лнце возсїѧ̀ пре́жде ѡ҆́блачно сꙋ́що, возжже́сѧ ѻ҆́гнь вели́къ, ꙗ҆́кѡ диви́тисѧ всѣ̑мъ.

And the priests made a prayer whilst the sacrifice was consuming, I say, both the priests, and all the rest, Jonathan beginning, and the rest answering thereunto, as Neemias did.

προσευχὴν δὲ ἐποιήσαντο οἱ ἱερεῖς δαπανωμένης τῆς θυσίας, οἵ τε ἱερεῖς καὶ πάντες, καταρχομένου ᾿Ιωνάθου, τῶν δὲ λοιπῶν ἐπιφωνούντων ὡς Νεεμίου.

Моли́твꙋ же творѧ́хꙋ жерцы̀, є҆гда̀ горѧ́ще же́ртва, и҆ жерцы̀ и҆ всѝ і҆ѡнаѳа́нꙋ начина́ющꙋ, про́чымъ же ѿвѣща́ющымъ, ꙗ҆́коже неемі́и.

And the prayer was after this manner; O Lord, Lord God, Creator of all things, who art fearful and strong, and righteous, and merciful, and the only and gracious King,

ἦν δὲ ἡ προσευχὴ τὸν τρόπον ἔχουσα τοῦτον· Κύριε Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ὁ πάντων κτίστης, ὁ φοβερὸς καὶ ἰσχυρὸς καὶ δίκαιος καὶ ἐλεήμων, ὁ μόνος βασιλεὺς καὶ χρηστός,

Бѣ́ же моли́тва и҆мѣ́ющи ѡ҆́бразъ се́й: гдⷭ҇и, гдⷭ҇и бж҃е, всѣ́хъ тво́рче, стра́шный и҆ крѣ́пкїй, и҆ првⷣный и҆ млⷭ҇тивый, є҆ди́ный цр҃ю̀ и҆ бл҃гі́й,

The only giver of all things, the only just, almighty, and everlasting, thou that deliverest Israel from all trouble, and didst choose the fathers, and sanctify them:

ὁ μόνος χορηγός, ὁ μόνος δίκαιος καὶ παντοκράτωρ καὶ αἰώνιος, ὁ διασώζων τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐκ παντὸς κακοῦ, ὁ ποιήσας τοὺς πατέρας ἐκλεκτοὺς καὶ ἁγιάσας αὐτούς,

є҆ди́ный да́телю, є҆ди́не првⷣне и҆ Вседержи́телю и҆ вѣ́чный, сп҃са́ѧй і҆и҃лѧ ѿ всѧ́кагѡ ѕла̀, сотвори́вый ѻ҆тцы̀ и҆збра̑нны и҆ ѡ҆ст҃и́вый и҆̀хъ,

Receive the sacrifice for thy whole people Israel, and preserve thine own portion, and sanctify it.

πρόσδεξαι τὴν θυσίαν ὑπὲρ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ σου ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ διαφύλαξον τὴν μερίδα σου καὶ καθαγίασον.

прїимѝ же́ртвꙋ за всѧ̑ лю́ди твоѧ̑ і҆и҃лѧ и҆ сохранѝ ча́сть твою̀ и҆ ѡ҆ст҃ѝ:

Gather those together that are scattered from us, deliver them that serve among the heathen, look upon them that are despised and abhorred, and let the heathen know that thou art our God.

ἐπισυνάγαγε τὴν διασπορὰν ἡμῶν, ἐλευθέρωσον τοὺς δουλεύοντας ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, τοὺς ἐξουθενημένους καὶ βδελυκτοὺς ἔπιδε, καὶ γνώτωσαν τὰ ἔθνη, ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν.

соберѝ расточе́нїе на́ше, и҆зба́ви рабо́тающихъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ, на ᲂу҆ничиже́нныхъ и҆ ме́рзкихъ при́зри, и҆ да ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ ꙗ҆зы́цы, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ є҆сѝ бг҃ъ на́шъ:

Punish them that oppress us, and with pride do us wrong.

βασάνισον τοὺς καταδυναστεύοντας καὶ ἐξυβρίζοντας ἐν ὑπερηφανίᾳ.

показнѝ наси́лꙋющихъ и҆ досажда́ющихъ въ горды́ни:

Plant thy people again in thy holy place, as Moses hath spoken.

καταφύτευσον τὸν λαόν σου εἰς τὸν τόπον τὸν ἅγιόν σου, καθὼς εἶπε Μωυσῆς.

насадѝ лю́ди твоѧ̑ на мѣ́стѣ ст҃ѣ́мъ твое́мъ, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ мѡѷсе́й.

And the priests sung psalms of thanksgiving.

οἱ δὲ ἱερεῖς ἐπέψαλλον τοὺς ὕμνους.

Жерцы́ же поѧ́хꙋ пѣ̑нїѧ.

Now when the sacrifice was consumed, Neemias commanded the water that was left to be poured on the great stones.

καθὼς δὲ ἀνηλώθη τὰ τῆς θυσίας καὶ τὸ περιλειπόμενον ὕδωρ, ὁ Νεεμίας ἐκέλευσε λίθους μείζονας κατασχεῖν.

Є҆гда́ же сгорѣ́ша же́ртвєннаѧ, ѡ҆ста́вшею водо́ю неемі́а повелѣ̀ ка́менїе бо́льшее поли́ти.

When this was done, there was kindled a flame: but it was consumed by the light that shined from the altar.

ὡς δὲ τοῦτο ἐγενήθη, φλὸξ ἀνήφθη· τοῦ δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἀντιλάμψαντος φωτὸς ἐδαπανήθη.

Є҆гда́ же сїѐ бы́сть, пла́мень возгорѣ́сѧ, и҆ ѿ ѻ҆лтарѧ̀ ѡ҆блиста́вшꙋ свѣ́тꙋ, сгорѣ̀.

So when this matter was known, it was told the king of Persia, that in the place, where the priests that were led away had hid the fire, there appeared water, and that Neemias had purified the sacrifices therewith.

ὡς δὲ φανερὸν ἐγενήθη τὸ πρᾶγμα, καὶ διηγγέλη τῷ βασιλεῖ τῶν Περσῶν ὅτι εἰς τὸν τόπον, οὗ τὸ πῦρ ἀπέκρυψαν οἱ μεταχθέντες ἱερεῖς τὸ ὕδωρ ἐφάνη, ἀφ᾿ οὗ καὶ οἱ περὶ τὸν Νεεμίαν ἥγνισαν τὰ τῆς θυσίας,

Є҆гда́ же ꙗ҆вле́на бы́сть ве́щь, и҆ возвѣще́но бы́сть царю̀ пе́рсскꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ на мѣ́стѣ, въ не́мже ѻ҆́гнь скры́ша преселе́ннїи жерцы̀, вода̀ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ, ѿне́лѣже неемі́а и҆ сꙋ́щїи съ ни́мъ ѡ҆чи́стиша жє́ртвы,

Then the king, inclosing the place, made it holy, after he had tried the matter.

περιφράξας δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἱερὸν ἐποίησε, δοκιμάσας τὸ πρᾶγμα.

ѡ҆гради́въ же ца́рь ст҃о сотворѝ (мѣ́сто то̀), и҆скꙋша́ѧй ве́щь.

And the king took many gifts, and bestowed thereof on those whom he would gratify.

καὶ οἷς ἐχαρίζετο ὁ βασιλεὺς πολλὰ διάφορα ἐλάμβανε καὶ μετεδίδου.

И҆ и҆̀мже дарова́ше ца́рь, мнѡ́ги да́ры взима́ше и҆ преподаѧ́ше.

And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which is as much as to say, a cleansing: but many men call it Nephi.

προσηγόρευσαν δὲ οἱ περὶ τὸν Νεεμίαν τοῦτο νέφθαρ, ὃ διερμηνεύεται Καθαρισμός· καλεῖται δὲ παρὰ τοῖς πολλοῖς Νεφθαεί.

Прозва́ же неемі́а и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ мѣ́сто то̀ нефѳа́рь, є҆́же сказꙋ́етсѧ ѡ҆чище́нїе, нарица́етсѧ же ᲂу҆ мно́гихъ нефѳа́й.
