3:	Бл҃горо́дни ҆и досто̀по́чете́ни ҆и хри́сто̀люби́ви хр͒тиӑни брáтйи мо́й возлюбле́ни послꙋ́шайте за дне́ши дн҃ь	O noble, and respect-worthy, and Christ-loving Christians, my dear brothers, listen (to the homily) for this day!
4:	да вѝ скáжемо дá разꙋме́те какво́ се по́роди гд͒ь нáшь ис҃ь хр͒то́сь	Let us tell you, so that you understand, how our Lord Jesus Christ was born.
5:	ре́че: гд͒ь ҆áр͛ха҃н͛гелꙋ гаврїйлꙋ	The Lord said to Archangel Gabriel:
6:	҆идѝ ҆áн͛г҃еле ре́чѝ прекрáсномꙋ ҆и҆ѡˇсифꙋ да ҆иде ꙋ: грáдь назаре́ть з҆á дв҃и́цꙋ мáри́ю	ʺGo, o angel, (and) tell the handsome Joseph to go the city of Nazareth for Virgin Mary!ʺ
7:	҆ꙗ́ повеле́хь да ю ҆ꙋзме ҆о́нь	ʺI gave the command to him to take her.ʺ
8:	҆и хо́че да сѐ; наречѐ мари́а дв҃ица ҆иѡˇсифꙋ ҆ѡбрꙋчница	ʺAnd Virgin Mary will be called the Bride of Joseph.ʺ
9:	тако̀ повелѐ бг҃ь	Thus God commanded.
10:	҆и проминáхꙋ неколи́ко днѝ	And some days passed.
11:	҆и ҆ѡтидѐ ҆и҆ѡсифь	And Joseph went away.
12:	҆и виде мари́ю деви́цꙋ	And he saw Virgin Mary.
13:	҆и до́йде мꙋ на пáмет като ю̀ гле́даше че ѐ ҆ѡще млáдо детѐ мари́ꙗ	And as he watched her, it came to his mind, that Mary is still a young child.
14:	҆á иѡˇсифь бе́ше бл҃горазꙋмень ҆и прáведень ҆и бг҃ꙋбоꙗ̀зли́вь	And Joseph was a prudent, and just, and a God-fearing man.
15:	та не щеꙗ̀ да ҆ѡбади ни́комꙋ че го ѐ прати́ль бг҃ь за деви́цꙋ мари́ю да ю̀ ҆ꙋзме за женꙋ се́бе	So he did not want to tell anybody that God had sent him to take Virgin Mary for a wife.
16:	но по́мислѝ да ю̀ напꙋ́щи	But he thought to leave her.
17:	҆и ва ҆онаѧ но́щь товà ҆ѡнь по́мисли	And thus he thought in that night.
18:	҆и ҆ꙗ́ви́ мꙋ се ҆áнг҃ель гд͒нь гаврїйль	And Gabriel, the angel of God, appeared to him.
19:	҆и рече мꙋ
20:	҆иѡˇосифе сн҃ꙋ дв҃и́довь ѿ нищо да сѐ не ꙋплáшишь	ʺO Joseph, son of David, may you have no fear from anything.ʺ
21:	нело̀ фанѝ мари́ю женꙋ̀ твою̀ за рꙋ́кꙋ	ʺJust take your wife Mary by the hand!ʺ
22:	҆и ꙋпази́ ю	ʺAnd protect her!ʺ
23:	҆и товà щото̀ ҆има мари́а ꙋ корь́мь сво́й това е заче́ла ѿ дх҃а ст҃аго	ʺAnd that, what Mary has in her bosom, she had conceived by Holy Spirit.ʺ
24:	҆и ще да ро́ди си́на	ʺAnd she will give a birth to a son.ʺ
25:	҆á ти́ мꙋ наречи́ ҆име ии҃сь	ʺAnd you give him the name Jesus!ʺ
26:	защо̀ ҆онь хоче да сп͒и сь́вь ро́дь чл҃ве́чески ѿ прегреше́нїе	ʺBecause he will save all the human race from sin.ʺ
27:	҆и когѝ стáнꙋ ҆иѡсифь он͛ поми́сли	And when Joseph woke up, he thought.
28:	҆и сотво́ри каквото мꙋ ре́че ҆áн͛г҃ель	And he did, as the angel said to him.
29:	҆и вь ҆о́но́ва вре́ме ҆излезе повеленїе ѿ цр҃а ҆áвгꙋстà да сѐ подпи́с-ва све́ки чл҃ве́кь по́дь цр҃евꙋ рꙋкꙋ	And in that time, a command came from Emperor Augustus, for every man under the Emperor's hand, to subscribe,
	҆и да знáе цр҃ь ко́й кáквь е члвекь ҆и све́ки да е запи́сань ꙋ цр҃ска кни́га	and so that the Emperor knows, what kind of man everyone is, everyone to be written in the imperial accounts.
30:	҆и защо̀ рáзбра цр҃ь че хоче да сѐ поро́ди цр҃ь вели́кь ѿ дв҃и́цꙋ мари́ю	And (it was done so?) because the Emperor understood, that a great king was going to be born from Virgin Mary.
31:	та се бое́ше цр҃ь да мꙋ не преꙋзме цр҃ь,ство	Thus the Emperor feared, that he would take over his domain.
32:	то̀ затовà сáкаше да препи́ше сви́ те чл҃ве́ци ꙋ него́ва кни́га	And that is why he wanted to write down all the people in his accounts,
	҆и да знае комꙋ̀ какво́ е ҆имѐ	and to know, how is everyone called.
33:	до҆иде ре́дь ҆и до ҆иѡсифа да сѐ пи́ше ҆и ѡˇнь	And it was, then, Joseph's turn to subscribe himself.
34:	҆и пи,с҆а се	And he wrote himself.
35:	҆и҆ѡсифь бе́ше ѿ цр҃ь дави́довь родь	Joseph was from the house of King David.
36:	҆и коги́ се написáхꙋ до́йде вре́ме да ро́ди дв҃и́ца мáри́а хр͒тà	And as they were writing themselves, the time had come for Virgin Mary to give birth.
37:	҆и бг҃ь запратѝ ҆áнг҃ела	And God sent an angel.
38:	та ре́че	And he said:
39:	҆иѡˇсифе ҆иди; ꙋзмѝ женꙋ̀ твою̀ мари́ю	ʺO Joseph, go (and) take your wife, Mary!ʺ
40:	҆и бе́жи ꙋ виѳле́емь	ʺAnd flee to Bethlehem!ʺ
41:	҆и ҆о́нь ю фáнꙋ за рꙋкꙋ	And he took her by the hand.
42:	҆и побе́же дале́ко като̀ да го не нá҆идꙋть;	And he ran far away, so that he will not be found.
43:	҆и ꙋле́зохꙋ ꙋ еднà пе́щера	And they entered a cave.
44:	҆и тáмо роди пре́чт͒аꙗ бц҃а гд͒а нáшего ҆ис҃са хр͒та	And there, the Most Pure Mother of God gave birth to our Lord Jesus Christ.
45:	҆и като̀ чꙋеше ст҃аꙗ бдца такви́ва дꙋ́ми ѿ цр҃а ҆ѡнà се боеше за хр͒та си́на сво́его̀	And as the holy Mother of God heard such words (?) from the Emperor (?), she feared for the Christ, her son.
46:	҆и ѡпо́ви го ꙋ пелени	And she wrapped him in diapers.
47:	҆и положи́ го ꙋ ꙗ́сли	And she put him into a cradle.
48:	та го̀ скри	And thus she hid him.
49:	защо ꙋ ѡнáꙗ пе́щера бе́ше ме́сто ши́ро́ко	Because there was a wide place in the cave.
50:	тá дохо́дехꙋ пꙋ́тници	And so travellers were coming.
51:	та бе́хꙋ; напрáвени ҆ꙗ́сли	And thus a cradle was made.
52:	та сѝ приве́звахꙋ; ко́ни ҆или воло́ве ҆илѝ мьски ҆или било̀ що	And thus they were binding on (it) horses, or oxen, or mules, or whatever (they had).
53:	та тамо скрѝ ст҃а҆ꙗ́ бдца хр͒тà ꙋ ҆ꙗ́сли те пре́дь воло́ве	And there the holy Mother of God hid the Christ in the cradle in front of the oxen.
54:	҆и пасти́рїе ҆имáше тáмо бли́зо при́ ҆о́нáꙗ пе́щера	And shepherds were there, close to that cave.
55:	҆и сви́рехꙋ на своѐ стáдо	And they were whistling on their flock.

59:	҆и ре́че ймь	And he said to them:
60:	не бо́йте се	ʺHave no fear!ʺ
61:	дꙋ́мамь вáмь	ʺI say to you:ʺ
62:	тꙋ́ка хо́че рáдось голе́ма дá бꙋ́де	ʺThere will be great joy here.ʺ
63:	иде́те ꙋ пеще́рꙋ	ʺGo to the cave!ʺ
64:	҆и нáй щете тáмо ст҃ꙋю бдцꙋ	ʺAnd you will find there the holy Mother of God.ʺ
65:	҆и виде́ щете кáкво пови́ва хр͒та млднца своего ꙋ пелени	ʺAnd you will see, how she wraps the Christ, her son, in diapers.ʺ
66:	҆и да чꙋ́ете тамо какво пеють ҆áньг҃ели	ʺAnd you (will?) hear, how the angels sing there:ʺ
