Machine translation from the original · Show original
In the Sofia and Chudovskaya parchment Helmsmen, this article is placed after the decree of Ilya the Archbishop of Novgorod and Belogorod Bishop (No. 4), probably because archbishops and bishops are mentioned at the beginning of the monument. In addition, in the Miracle Helmsman the same article is attached to the message of the Vladimir bishop (No. 9), and in some later Helmsman it even appears three times: in the two indicated places and in the form of a separate article (see Helmsman Rum. Music No. 231, l. 191, 307 vol. and the last). In the printed Helmsman it is placed before the titles of the Photius nomocanon (fol. 14 of the first account). The text of this edition is based on the Sofia list, the variants are based on two Chudovsky ones, which, although they are in the same Kormcha (fol. 285 and 190 vol.), present some discrepancies among themselves: the first is indicated by the letter A, the last - B.
With all their strength and all their might, archbishops and bishops must guard the sacred rules. 961 It is entrusted 962 to have to strictly observe it, but nothing 963 from them is transgressed 964, and is overcome by oblivion 965, and abandoned by lack of research 966. On this day, 967 will be in agony over them. By keeping 968 the sacred canons, the rulers of God are granted help; This is a transgression, and they put themselves into final condemnation. Because divine rules are not preserved, crimes 969 are different: this is why God’s wrath is upon us and many executions and the final judgment. The saints are guilty of the same thing, not being vigilant, nor guarding the grapes that are the church, nor transgressing into offense, which is 970 out of some passion, or out of unreason, lack of fear of the highest fear, who swore to preserve the fate of the law and truth of God 971: woe as 972 judgment for those and reward for the deed.
