1 Предрече́нный же сі́мѡнъ, и҆́же ѡ҆ сре́бреницѣхъ и҆ ѻ҆те́чествѣ доноси́тель сотвори́сѧ, ѕлосло́вѧше ѻ҆ні́ю, а҆́кибы то́й и҆лїодѡ́ра и҆ поѡщрѧ́лъ къ си̑мъ и҆ ѕло́бъ содѣ́тель бы́лъ.
1 The previously mentioned Simon, who had given information about the money against his country, slandered Onias, saying that it was he who had incited Heliodorus and had been the real cause of these evils.
2 И҆ благодѣ́телѧ гра́дꙋ и҆ защи́тника свои́хъ люді́й и҆ ревни́телѧ зако́нѡвъ (бж҃їихъ) дерза́ше нарица́ти навѣ́тникомъ веще́й.
2 He dared to call him a conspirator against the state who was actually the benefactor of the city, the guardian of his fellow countrymen, and a zealot for the laws.
3 Враждѣ́ же въ толи́ко происходѧ́щей, ꙗ҆́кѡ чрез̾ нѣ́коего ѿ дрꙋгѡ́въ сі́мѡновыхъ и҆ ᲂу҆бі̑йства соверша́хꙋсѧ,
3 When his hatred grew so great that even murders were perpetrated through one of Simon’s approved agents,
4 созерца́ѧ ѻ҆ні́а лю́тость прѣ́нїѧ, и҆ а҆поллѡ́нїа неи́стовствовати, ꙗ҆́кѡ кїлисѷрі́и и҆ фїнїкі́и воево́дꙋ, ᲂу҆множа́юща ѕло́бꙋ сі́мѡновꙋ, ко царю̀ ѿи́де,
4 Onias, seeing the danger of the contention, and that Apollonius the son of Menestheus, the governor of Coelesyria and Phoenicia, was increasing Simon’s malice,
5 не быва́ѧй гра́жданъ клеветни́къ, но по́льзꙋ во ѻ҆́бществѣ и҆ на є҆ди́нѣ всемꙋ̀ мно́жествꙋ промышлѧ́ѧ:
5 appealed to the king, not to be an accuser of his fellow citizens, but looking to the good of all the people, both public and private;
6 ви́дѧше бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ без̾ царе́ва про́мысла не мо́щно полꙋчи́ти ми́ра ктомꙋ̀ веще́мъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ сі́мѡнъ не ѿста́витъ бꙋ́йства.
6 for he saw that without the king’s involvement it was impossible for the state to obtain peace any more, and that Simon would not cease from his madness.
7 Ѡ҆ста́вльшꙋ же житїѐ селе́ѵкꙋ и҆ прїе́мшꙋ ца́рство а҆нтїо́хꙋ, и҆́же нарица́шесѧ є҆пїфа́нъ, жела́ше і҆асѡ́нъ бра́тъ ѻ҆ні́инъ а҆рхїере́йства,
7 When Seleucus was deceased, and Antiochus, who was called Epiphanes, succeeded to the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias supplanted his brother in the high priesthood,
8 вни́де ко царю̀, ѡ҆бѣщава́ѧ є҆мꙋ̀ сребра̀ тала̑нтъ три́ста шестьдесѧ́тъ и҆ ѿ прихо́дѡвъ нѣ́кїихъ и҆ны́хъ тала̑нтъ ѻ҆́смьдесѧтъ.
8 having promised to the king at an audience three hundred sixty talents of silver, and out of another fund eighty talents.
9 Къ си̑мъ же ѡ҆бѣщава́ше и҆ и҆ны́хъ написа́ти сто̀ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ, а҆́ще пода́стсѧ вла́стїю є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆чи́лище ю҆́ныхъ є҆мꙋ̀ поста́вити и҆ сꙋ́щихъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ а҆нтїохі́анами писа́ти.
9 In addition to this, he undertook to assign one hundred fifty more, if it might be allowed him through the king’s authority to set him up a gymnasium and a body of youths to be trained in it, and to register the inhabitants of Jerusalem as citizens of Antioch.
10 Соизво́лившꙋ же царю̀, и҆ нача́льство ѡ҆держа́въ, а҆́бїе на ꙗ҆зы́ческїй ѡ҆бы́чай є҆диноплемє́нныѧ своѧ̑ преводи́ти нача̀.
10 When the king had assented, and Jason had taken possession of the office, he immediately shifted those of his own race to the Greek way of life.
11 И҆ ᲂу҆ста́влєннаѧ і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ человѣколю̑бїѧ ца̑рскаѧ чрез̾ і҆ѡа́нна ѻ҆тца̀ є҆ѵполе́ма, и҆́же бѧ́ше посло́мъ ѡ҆ дрꙋ́жбѣ и҆ споборе́нїи къ ри́млѧнѡмъ, ѿри́нꙋ: и҆ закѡ́нныѧ ᲂу҆́бѡ гражда̑нскїѧ разорѧ́ѧ ᲂу҆ста́вы, беззакѡ́нныѧ ѡ҆бы̑чаи нововвожда́ше.
11 Setting aside the royal ordinances of special favor to the Jews, granted by the means of John the father of Eupolemus, who went on the mission to the Romans to establish friendship and alliance, and seeking to overthrow the lawful ways of living, he brought in new customs forbidden by the law.
12 Тща́тельнѣ бо под̾ са́мымъ краегра́дїемъ ᲂу҆чи́лище поста́ви, и҆ и҆зрѧ́днѣйшихъ ю҆́ношъ покори́въ, под̾ пета́съ ввожда́ше.
12 For he eagerly established a gymnasium under the citadel itself, and caused the noblest of the young men to wear the Greek hat.
13 И҆ си́це бѣ̀ ᲂу҆се́рдїе нѣ́кое ко є҆́ллинствꙋ и҆ ᲂу҆спѣ́хъ ꙗ҆зы́ческагѡ жи́тельства, ра́ди безмѣ́рнагѡ, нечести́вагѡ, а҆ не а҆рхїере́а і҆асѡ́на, беззако́нїѧ.
13 Thus there was an extreme of hellenization, and an advance of a foreign religion, by reason of the exceeding profaneness of Jason, who was an ungodly man and not a high priest;
14 Ꙗ҆́кѡ не ктомꙋ̀ ѡ҆ слꙋ́жбахъ ѻ҆лта́рныхъ ᲂу҆се́рдни бѧ́хꙋ жерцы̀, но хра́мъ ᲂу҆́бѡ презира́юще и҆ ѡ҆ же́ртвахъ нерадѧ́ще, тща́хꙋсѧ прича̑стницы бы́ти пале́стрѣ беззако́ннагѡ преда́нїѧ, по произзыва́нїи и҆гра́лищнагѡ крꙋ́га.
14 so that the priests had no more any zeal for the services of the altar; but despising the sanctuary and neglecting the sacrifices, they hastened to enjoy that which was unlawfully provided in the wrestling arena, after the summons to the discus-throwing.
15 И҆ ѻ҆те́чєскїѧ ᲂу҆́бѡ чє́сти ни во что́же вмѣнѧ́хꙋ, є҆́ллинскїѧ же сла̑вы предѡ́бры бы́ти мнѧ́хꙋ:
15 They despised the honors of their fathers, and valued the prestige of the Greeks best of all.
16 и҆́хже ра́ди ѡ҆б̾ѧ́тъ ѧ҆̀ лю́тое ѡ҆бстоѧ́нїе, и҆ ѡ҆ и҆́хже ревнова́хꙋ наставле́нїихъ, и҆ весьма̀ и҆̀мъ хотѧ́хꙋ ᲂу҆подо́битисѧ си́хъ врагѡ́въ и҆ мꙋчи́телей и҆мѣ́ѧхꙋ.
16 For this reason, severe calamity overtook them. The men whose ways of living they earnestly followed, and to whom they desired to be made like in all things, these became their enemies and punished them.
17 Нече́ствовати бо въ бжⷭ҇твенныхъ зако́нѣхъ неꙋдо́бь: но сїѧ̑ послѣ́дꙋющее вре́мѧ и҆звѣсти́тъ.
17 For it is not a light thing to show irreverence to God’s laws, but later events will make this clear.
18 Бы́вшꙋ же пѧтолѣ́тномꙋ три́знищꙋ въ тѵ́рѣ и҆ царю̀ сꙋ́щꙋ та́мѡ,
18 Now when certain games that came every fifth year were kept at Tyre, and the king was present,
19 посла̀ і҆асѡ́нъ стꙋ́дныхъ смотри́телей и҆з̾ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма а҆нтїохі́аны сꙋ́щыѧ, несꙋ́щыѧ сребра̀ дїдра́хмъ три́ста въ же́ртвꙋ и҆раклі́евꙋ, ѡ҆ и҆́хже и҆ молѧ́хꙋ прине́сшїи, да не ᲂу҆потреблѧ́ютъ въ же́ртвꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не досто́итъ, но во и҆ны̑ѧ росхо́ды и҆̀хъ ѿложи́ти.
19 the vile Jason sent sacred envoys, as being Antiochians of Jerusalem, bearing three hundred drachmas of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, which even the bearers thereof thought not right to use for any sacrifice, because it was not fit, but to spend it for another purpose.
20 Посла̀ ᲂу҆̀бо сїѧ̑ ра́ди посла́вшагѡ въ же́ртвꙋ и҆раклі́евꙋ, ра́ди же прине́сшихъ на строе́нїе кораблеце́й тривесе́льныхъ.
20 Although the sender intended that this money was for the sacrifice of Hercules, yet on account of present circumstances it went to the construction of trireme warships.
21 По́сланꙋ же бы́вшꙋ во є҆гѵ́петъ а҆поллѡ́нїю сы́нꙋ менесте́овꙋ ко птоломе́ю фїломе́терꙋ царю̀, торжества̀ ра́ди воспрїѧ́тїѧ престо́ла, возмнѣ́въ а҆нтїо́хъ чꙋ́жда є҆го̀ бы́ти свои́хъ веще́й, ѡ҆ свое́мъ без̾ѡпа́сствѣ печа́шесѧ: тогѡ̀ ра́ди во і҆ѻппі́ю прише́дъ, дости́же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.
21 Now when Apollonius the son of Menestheus was sent into Egypt for the enthronement of Philometor as king, Antiochus, learning that Philometor had shown himself hostile toward the government, took precautions for the security of his realm. Therefore, going to Joppa, he travelled on to Jerusalem.
22 Великолѣ́пнѡ же ѿ і҆асѡ́на и҆ гра́да прїѧ́тъ, со свѣщьмѝ свѣ́тлыми и҆ хвала́ми вни́де: та́же си́це въ фїнїкі́ю съ во́инствомъ по́йде.
22 Being magnificently received by Jason and the city, he was brought in with torches and shouting. Then he led his army down into Phoenicia.
23 По трелѣ́тнѣмъ же вре́мени посла̀ і҆асѡ́нъ менела́а бра́та предрече́ннагѡ сі́мѡна несꙋ́ща царю̀ сре́бреники и҆ ѡ҆ ве́щехъ нꙋ́жныхъ представле́нїе соверши́ти и҆мꙋ́щаго.
23 Now after a space of three years, Jason sent Menelaus, the previously mentioned Simon’s brother, to carry the money to the king, and to make reports concerning some necessary matters.
24 Ѻ҆́нъ же предста́въ царю̀ и҆ возвели́чивъ є҆го̀ въ лицѐ вла́сти ра́ди, на себѐ восто́рже а҆рхїере́йство, положи́въ свы́ше і҆асѡ́на тала̑нтъ сребра̀ три́ста.
24 But he being commended to the king, and having been glorified by the display of his authority, secured the high priesthood for himself, outbidding Jason by three hundred talents of silver.
25 Прїе́мь же ѿ царѧ̀ повелѣ̑нїѧ прїи́де, ничто́же ᲂу҆́бѡ носѧ̀ досто́йно а҆рхїере́йства, ꙗ҆́рость же же́стокагѡ мꙋчи́телѧ и҆ ѕвѣ́рѧ лю́тагѡ гнѣ́въ и҆мѣ́ѧ.
25 After receiving the royal mandates, he returned bringing nothing worthy of the high priesthood, but having the passion of a cruel tyrant and the rage of a savage animal.
26 И҆ і҆асѡ́нъ ᲂу҆́бѡ, и҆́же своего̀ бра́та ко́знїю ᲂу҆ловѝ, са́мъ ко́знїю ᲂу҆ловле́нъ ѿ и҆на́гѡ, бѣгле́цъ во а҆мані́тскꙋю странꙋ̀ и҆згна́нъ бы́сть.
26 So Jason, who had supplanted his own brother, was supplanted by another and driven as a fugitive into the country of the Ammonites.
27 Менела́й же нача́льство ᲂу҆́бѡ ѡ҆держа̀, ѡ҆ сре́бреницѣхъ же царе́ви ѡ҆бѣща́нныхъ ничто́же радѧ́ше:
27 Menelaus had possession of the office, but of the money that had been promised to the king nothing was regularly paid, even though Sostratus the governor of the citadel demanded it—
28 творѧ́щꙋ же и҆стѧза́нїе сѡстра́тꙋ краегра́дїѧ є҆па́рхꙋ, къ семꙋ́ бо надлежа́ще да́ней дѣ́ло, тоѧ̀ ра́ди вины̀ ѻ҆́ба ко царю̀ при́звани.
28 for his job was the gathering of the revenues—so they were both called by the king to his presence.
29 И҆ менела́й ᲂу҆́бѡ ѡ҆ста́ви а҆рхїере́йства прее́мника лѷсїма́ха бра́та своего̀, сѡстра́тъ же крати́та, и҆́же бѣ̀ над̾ кѵ̑прѧны.
29 Menelaus left his own brother Lysimachus for his deputy in the high priesthood; and Sostratus left Crates, who was over the Cyprians.
30 И҆ є҆гда̀ сїѧ̑ дѣ́ѧхꙋсѧ, слꙋчи́сѧ та́рсѧнѡмъ и҆ малѡ́тѡмъ крамолꙋ̀ воздви́гнꙋти, сегѡ̀ ра́ди, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆нтїохі́дѣ нало́жницѣ царе́вѣ въ да́ръ ѿда́ни бы́ша.
30 Now while this was the state of things, it came to pass that the people of Tarsus and Mallus revolted because they were to be given as a present to Antiochis, the king’s concubine.
31 Ско́рѡ ᲂу҆̀бо ца́рь прїи́де ᲂу҆кроти́ти ве́щы, ѡ҆ста́вѧ намѣ́стника а҆ндроні́ка є҆ди́наго ѿ кнѧзе́й свои́хъ.
31 The king therefore quickly came to settle matters, leaving for his deputy Andronicus, a man of high rank.
32 Возмнѣ́въ же менела́й воспрїѧ́ти себѣ̀ вре́мѧ благополꙋ́чно, златы̑ѧ нѣ̑кїѧ сосꙋ́ды ѿ це́ркве ᲂу҆кра́дъ дарова̀ а҆ндроні́кꙋ и҆ и҆́на продадѐ въ тѵ́ръ и҆ во ѡ҆крє́стныѧ гра́ды.
32 Then Menelaus, supposing that he had gotten a favorable opportunity, presented to Andronicus certain vessels of gold belonging to the temple, which he had stolen. He had already sold others into Tyre and the neighboring cities.
33 Ꙗ҆̀же ꙗ҆́внѡ позна́въ ѻ҆ні́а, ѡ҆блича́ше є҆го̀, ѿше́дъ въ мѣ́сто без̾ѡпа́сное, въ дафні́ю бли́з̾ а҆нтїохі́и лежа́щꙋю.
33 When Onias had sure knowledge of this, he sharply reproved him, having withdrawn himself into a sanctuary at Daphne, that lies by Antioch.
34 Ѿтꙋ́дꙋ менела́й взе́мъ на є҆ди́нѣ а҆ндроні́ка, молѧ́ше да ᲂу҆бїе́тъ ѻ҆ні́ю. Ѻ҆́нъ же прише́дъ ко ѻ҆ні́и, и҆ ᲂу҆вѣща́въ ле́стїю, и҆ десни́цꙋ съ клѧ́твою да́въ, а҆́ще и҆ въ подозрѣ́нїи бѣ̀, ᲂу҆совѣ́това и҆з̾ без̾ѡпа́снагѡ мѣ́ста и҆зы́ти, є҆го́же и҆ а҆́бїе заключи́въ ᲂу҆бѝ, не ᲂу҆стыдѣ́всѧ пра́вды.
34 Therefore Menelaus, taking Andronicus aside, asked him to kill Onias. Coming to Onias, and being persuaded to use treachery, and being received as a friend, Andronicus gave him his right hand with oaths and, though he was suspicious, persuaded him to come out of the sanctuary. Then, with no regard for justice, he immediately put him to death.
35 Сеѧ́ же ра́ди вины̀ не то́кмѡ і҆ꙋде́є, но мно́зи и҆ ѿ и҆ны́хъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ негодова́хꙋ и҆ скорбѧ́хꙋ ѡ҆ непра́веднѣмъ мꙋ́жа ᲂу҆бі́йствѣ.
35 For this reason not only Jews, but many also of the other nations, had indignation and displeasure at the unjust murder of the man.
36 Возврати́вшꙋсѧ же царю̀ ѿ кїлїкі́йскихъ мѣ́стъ, сꙋ́щїи во гра́дѣ і҆ꙋде́є пристꙋпи́ша просѧ́ще (сꙋда̀) кꙋ́пнѡ съ ненави́дѧщими беззакѡ́нїѧ є҆́ллинами ѡ҆ безви́ннѣмъ ᲂу҆бі́йствѣ ѻ҆ні́инѣ.
36 And when the king had come back from the places in Cilicia, the Jews who were in the city appealed to him against Andronicus (the Greeks also joining with them in hatred of the wickedness), urging that Onias had been wrongfully slain.
37 Ѡ҆скорби́всѧ ᲂу҆̀бо дꙋше́ю а҆нтїо́хъ (ѻ҆ні́и ра́ди) и҆ преклони́въ на ми́лость, и҆ сле́зы и҆злїѧ́въ ѡ҆ цѣломꙋ́дрїи сконча́вшагѡсѧ и҆ ѡ҆ мно́зѣмъ благонра́вїи
37 Antiochus therefore was heartily sorry, and was moved to pity, and wept, because of the sober and well ordered life of him who was dead.
38 и҆ раз̾ѧри́всѧ дꙋше́ю, а҆́бїе со а҆ндроні́ка порфѵ́рꙋ совле́къ и҆ ѻ҆дє́жды ѡ҆бодра́въ, по всемꙋ̀ гра́дꙋ повелѣ́въ ѡ҆бводи́ти, на то́мже мѣ́стѣ, и҆дѣ́же ѻ҆ні́ю нечести́вѡ ᲂу҆бѝ, та́мѡ ᲂу҆бі́йцꙋ погꙋбѝ, гдⷭ҇ꙋ досто́йнꙋю є҆мꙋ̀ ка́знь воздаю́щꙋ.
38 Being inflamed with anger, he immediately stripped off Andronicus’s purple robe, and tore off his under garments, and when he had led him round through the whole city to that very place where he had committed the outrage against Onias, there he put the murderer out of the way, the Lord rendering to him the punishment he had deserved.
39 Є҆гда́ же мнѡ́га свѧщеннограби́тєльства во гра́дѣ содѣ̑лана бы́ша ѿ лѷсїма́ха со менела́евымъ совѣ́томъ, и҆ и҆зы́де вѣ́сть внѣ̀, собра́сѧ мно́жество на лѷсїма́ха, мнѡ́гимъ ᲂу҆жѐ златы̑мъ сосꙋ́дѡмъ и҆знесє́нымъ бы́вшымъ.
39 Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the city by Lysimachus with the consent of Menelaus, and when the report of them had spread abroad outside, the people gathered themselves together against Lysimachus, after many vessels of gold had already been stolen.
40 Наро́дѡмъ же востаю́щымъ и҆ гнѣ́ва и҆спо́лнєннымъ, воѡрꙋжи́въ лѷсїма́хъ трѝ ты́сѧщы, нача̀ беззако́нными рꙋка́ми ѡ҆би́дѣти, предводи́тельствꙋющꙋ нѣ́коемꙋ мꙋчи́телю престарѣ́вшꙋсѧ во́зрастомъ, па́че же безꙋ́мїемъ.
40 When the multitudes were rising against him and were filled with anger, Lysimachus armed about three thousand men, and with unrighteous violence began the attack under the leadership of Hauran, a man far gone in years and no less also in folly.
41 Оу҆разꙋмѣ́вше же и҆ ᲂу҆си́лїе лѷсїма́хово, и҆ні́и ка́менїе, и҆ні́и дрекѡ́лїѧ тѡ́лстаѧ восхи́тиша, нѣ́цыи же бли́з̾ лежа́щїй пра́хъ взе́мше, на сꙋ́щихъ ѡ҆́крестъ лѷсїма́ха мета́ша.
41 But when they perceived the assault of Lysimachus, some caught up stones, others logs of wood, and some took handfuls of the ashes that lay near, and they flung them all in wild confusion at Lysimachus and those who were with him.
42 Сеѧ̀ ра́ди вины̀ мно́гихъ ᲂу҆́бѡ ѿ ни́хъ ᲂу҆ѧзви́ша, нѣ́кїихъ же и҆ низложи́ша, всѣ́хъ же въ бѣ́гъ ѡ҆брати́ша: самаго́ же свѧщеннограби́телѧ при сокро́вищнѣмъ храни́лищи ᲂу҆би́ша.
42 As a result, they wounded many of them, they killed some, and they forced the rest of them to flee, but the author of the sacrilege himself they killed beside the treasury.
43 Ѡ҆ си́хъ же сꙋ́дъ на менела́а настоѧ́ше.
43 But about these matters, there was an accusation laid against Menelaus.
44 Є҆гда́ же прїи́де ца́рь въ тѵ́ръ, къ немꙋ̀ сꙋде́бное дѣ́ло принесо́ша по́сланнїи трѝ мꙋ̑жа ѿ старѣ́йшинъ.
44 When the king had come to Tyre, the three men who were sent by the senate pleaded the cause before him.
45 И҆ ᲂу҆жѐ премога́емь менела́й ѡ҆бѣща̀ птоломе́ю сы́нꙋ дорѷме́новꙋ мнѡ́ги сре́бреники да́ти на ᲂу҆толе́нїе царѧ̀.
45 But Menelaus, seeing himself now defeated, promised much money to Ptolemy the son of Dorymenes, that he might win over the king.
46 Поѧ́тъ ᲂу҆̀бо ѡ҆со́бь птоломе́й въ нѣ́кїй притво́ръ а҆́ки прохлажда́ющасѧ царѧ̀, превратѝ,
46 Therefore Ptolemy taking the king aside into a cloister, as if to get some fresh air, convinced him to change his mind.
47 и҆ всеѧ̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ ѕло́бы вино́внаго менела́а свободѝ ѿ вины̀, а҆ бѣ́дныхъ, и҆̀же а҆́ще бы и҆ пред̾ скѵ̑ѳы глаго́лали, ѿпꙋще́ни бы́ли бы́ша неѡсꙋжде́ни, си́хъ на сме́рть ѡ҆сꙋдѝ.
47 He who was the cause of all the evil, Menelaus, he discharged from the accusations; but these hapless men, who, if they had pleaded even before Scythians, would have been discharged uncondemned, them he sentenced to death.
48 Ско́рѡ ᲂу҆̀бо непра́веднꙋ ка́знь претерпѣ́ша и҆̀же ѡ҆ гра́дѣ и҆ лю́дехъ и҆ ѡ҆ свѧще́нныхъ сосꙋ́дѣхъ доноси́вшїи.
48 Those who were spokesmen for the city and the families of Israel and the holy vessels soon suffered that unrighteous penalty.
49 Сеѧ̀ ра́ди вины̀ и҆ тѵ́рѧне, вознегодова́вше ѡ҆ беззако́нїи, на погребе́нїе и҆́хъ ще́дрѡ препода́ша.
49 Therefore even certain Tyrians, moved with hatred of the wickedness, provided magnificently for their burial.
50 Менела́й же ра́ди лихои́мства ѡ҆блада́ющихъ пребыва́ше во вла́сти, возраста́ющь ѕло́бою, вели́кїй гра́жданѡмъ навѣ́тникъ сотвори́всѧ.
50 But Menelaus, through the covetous dealings of those who were in power, remained still in his office, growing in wickedness, established as a great conspirator against his fellow citizens.
