not exact literal translation from old Slavic to modern russian, but if the old Slavic text of "Слово о Полку Игореве" is understandable for you ...
Alware, would you mind me doing a little correction?
Technically speaking, the language of "Слово о полку Игореве" is not Old Slavic but Old Russian. The older edition of the Russian Bible was in the Church Slavonic language which is a variety of Old Slavonic. These were kindred but still different languages.
