1 Esdras 2 Church Slavonic Bible (Elizabeth Bible)
Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 Ца́рствꙋющꙋ кѵ́рꙋ пе́рсскомꙋ пе́рвагѡ лѣ́та, во и҆сполне́нїе сло́ва гдⷭ҇нѧ ᲂу҆сты̑ і҆еремі́иными,
1 In the first year of King Cyrus of the Persians, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremy might be accomplished,
2 воздви́же гдⷭ҇ь дꙋ́хъ кѵ́ра царѧ̀ пе́рсскагѡ, и҆ проповѣ́да во все́мъ ца́рствѣ свое́мъ, и҆ кꙋ́пнѡ писа́ньми, глаго́лѧ:
2 the Lord stirred up the spirit of King Cyrus of the Persians, and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also by writing,
3 сїѧ̑ глаго́летъ кѵ́ръ ца́рь пе́рсскїй: (гдⷭ҇ь) менѐ поста́ви царѧ̀ вселе́ннѣй, гдⷭ҇ь і҆и҃левъ, гдⷭ҇ь вы́шнїй,
3 saying, “Cyrus king of the Persians says: The Lord of Israel, the Most High Lord, has made me king of the whole world,
4 и҆ назна́мена мнѣ̀ созда́ти є҆мꙋ̀ до́мъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆́же во і҆ꙋде́и:
4 and commanded me to build him a house at Jerusalem that is in Judea.
5 а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо кто̀ є҆́сть въ ва́съ ѿ ꙗ҆зы́ка є҆гѡ̀, да бꙋ́детъ гдⷭ҇ь є҆гѡ̀ съ ни́мъ: и҆ возше́дъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, и҆̀же во і҆ꙋде́и, да сози́ждетъ до́мъ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃лева: се́й гдⷭ҇ь, и҆́же всели́сѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ:
5 If therefore there are any of you that are of his people, let the Lord, even his Lord, be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem that is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord of Israel. He is the Lord who dwells in Jerusalem.
6 є҆ли́цы ᲂу҆̀бо ѡ҆́крестъ мѣ́стъ ѡ҆бита́ютъ, да помо́гꙋтъ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆̀же сꙋ́ть на мѣ́стѣ то́мъ, и҆ зла́томъ и҆ сребро́мъ,
6 Therefore, of those who dwell in various places, let those who are in his own place each help with gold, with silver,
7 даѧ́нїемъ съ конмѝ и҆ скѡты̀ и҆ и҆ны́ми по ѡ҆бѣща́нїю предлага́емыми во свѧти́лище гдⷭ҇не, є҆́же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.
7 with gifts, with horses, and cattle, beside the other things which have been added by vow for the temple of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.
8 И҆ стоѧ́щїи нача̑льницы колѣ́нѡмъ ѻ҆те́чествъ і҆ꙋ́диныхъ и҆ колѣ́на венїамі́нова, и҆ свѧще́нницы и҆ леѵі́ти, и҆ всѝ, и҆́хже дꙋ́хъ воздви́же гдⷭ҇ь взы́ти, созда́ти до́мъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆́же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ,
8 Then the chief of the families of Judah and of the tribe of Benjamin stood up, with the priests, the Levites, and all whose spirit the Lord had stirred to go up, to build the house for the Lord which is in Jerusalem.
9 и҆ и҆̀же ѡ҆́крестъ и҆́хъ, помого́ша во все́мъ зла́томъ и҆ сребро́мъ, конмѝ и҆ скѡты̀ и҆ ѡ҆бѣ́тами мно́гими ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆́хже чꙋ́вство воздви́жено бы́сть.
9 Those who lived around them helped them in all things with silver and gold, with horses and cattle, and with very many gifts that were vowed by a great number whose minds were so moved.
10 И҆ кѵ́ръ ца́рь и҆знесѐ свѧщє́нныѧ сосꙋ́ды гдⷭ҇ни, и҆̀хже пренесѐ навꙋходоно́соръ (ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй) и҆з̾ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма и҆ поста́ви и҆̀хъ во і҆́дѡльницѣ свое́й:
10 King Cyrus also brought out the holy vessels of the Lord, which Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem and had stored in his temple of idols.
11 и҆ и҆знесѐ ты̑ѧ кѵ́ръ ца́рь пе́рсскїй и҆ предадѐ ѧ҆̀ мїѳрїда́тꙋ сокровищехрани́телю своемꙋ̀,
11 Now when King Cyrus of the Persians had brought them out, he delivered them to Mithradates his treasurer,
12 то́й же предадѐ сасавасса́рꙋ власти́телю і҆ꙋде́йскомꙋ.
12 and by him they were delivered to Sanabassar the governor of Judea.
13 И҆́хже сїѐ число̀ бѣ̀: возлива́льницъ златы́хъ ты́сѧща, и҆ возлива́льницъ сре́брѧныхъ ты́сѧща, кади́льницъ сре́брѧныхъ два́десѧть де́вѧть, фїа̑лъ златы́хъ три́десѧть, сре́брѧныхъ двѣ̀ ты́сѧщы четы́ре ста̑ и҆ де́сѧть, и҆ и҆ны́хъ сосꙋ́дѡвъ ты́сѧща:
13 This was the number of them: one thousand gold cups, one thousand silver cups, twenty-nine silver censers, thirty gold bowls, two thousand four hundred ten silver bowls, and one thousand other vessels.
14 всѣ́хъ же сосꙋ́дѡвъ пренесе́ныхъ златы́хъ и҆ сре́брѧныхъ пѧ́ть ты́сѧщъ четы́ре ста̑ шестьдесѧ́тъ де́вѧть.
14 So all the vessels of gold and of silver were brought up, even five thousand four hundred seventy-nine,
15 Принесе́ни же сасавасса́ромъ вкꙋ́пѣ съ тѣ́ми, и҆̀же ѿ плѣне́нїѧ и҆з̾ вавѷлѡ́на во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.
15 and were carried back by Sanabassar, together with the returning exiles, from Babylon to Jerusalem.
16 Во временѣ́хъ же а҆ртаѯе́рѯа царѧ̀ пе́рсскагѡ, восписа́ша є҆мꙋ̀ на ѡ҆бита́ющихъ во і҆ꙋде́и и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ ви́лемосъ и҆ мїѳрїда́тъ, и҆ таве́ллїй и҆ раѳѵ́мъ, и҆ веелте́ѳмъ и҆ саме́ллїй писе́цъ, и҆ про́чїи соꙋчине́ннїи, ѡ҆бита́ющїи въ самарі́и и҆ во и҆ны́хъ мѣ́стѣхъ, нижепи́санное посла́нїе:
16 In the time of King Artaxerxes of the Persians, Belemus, Mithradates, Tabellius, Rathumus, Beeltethmus, and Samellius the scribe, with their other associates, dwelling in Samaria and other places, wrote to him against those who lived in Judea and Jerusalem the following letter:
17 царю̀ а҆ртаѯе́рѯꙋ господи́нꙋ ѻ҆́троцы твоѝ, раѳѵ́мъ писе́цъ слꙋ́чаєвъ и҆ саме́ллїй писе́цъ, и҆ про́чїи ѿ совѣ́та и҆́хъ и҆ сꙋдїи̑, и҆̀же въ кїлисѷрі́и и҆ фїнїкі́и:
17 “To King Artaxerxes our Lord, from your servants, Rathumus the recorder, Samellius the scribe, and the rest of their council, and the judges who are in Coelesyria and Phoenicia:
18 и҆ нн҃ѣ зна́емо да бꙋ́детъ господи́нꙋ царю̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆ꙋде́є, и҆̀же взыдо́ша ѿ ва́съ, къ на́мъ прише́дшїи во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ гра́дъ ѿме́тный и҆ стропти́вый, созида́ютъ тѡ́ржища є҆гѡ̀, и҆ составлѧ́ютъ стѣ́ны є҆гѡ̀, и҆ хра́мъ воздвиза́ютъ:
18 Let it now be known to our lord the king, that the Jews that have come up from you to us, having come to Jerusalem, are building that rebellious and wicked city, and are repairing its marketplaces and walls, and are laying the foundation of a temple.
19 а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо гра́дъ то́й сози́ждетсѧ и҆ стѣ́ны совершє́ны бꙋ́дꙋтъ, не то́кмѡ да́ни не потерпѧ́тъ даѧ́ти, но и҆ царє́мъ воспроти́вѧтсѧ:
19 Now if this city is built and its walls are finished, they will not only refuse to give tribute, but will even stand up against kings.
20 а҆ поне́же дѣ́йствꙋютсѧ ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ хра́мѣ, пра́вѡ бы́ти разсꙋжда́емъ не презрѣ́ти сегѡ̀,
20 Since the things pertaining to the temple are now in hand, we think it appropriate not to neglect such a matter,
21 но зна́емо сотвори́ти господи́нꙋ на́шемꙋ царю̀, да а҆́ще возмни́тсѧ тебѣ̀, да взы́щетсѧ въ кни́гахъ ѻ҆тє́цъ твои́хъ,
21 but to speak to our lord the king, to the intent that, if it is your pleasure, search may be made in the books of your ancestors.
22 и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щеши въ лѣтопи́сцѣхъ пи́сано ѡ҆ тѣ́хъ, и҆ позна́еши, ꙗ҆́кѡ гра́дъ то́й бѧ́ше ѿме́тникъ и҆ царе́й и҆ гра́ды смꙋща́ющь,
22 You will find in the chronicles what is written concerning these things, and will understand that that city was rebellious, troubling both kings and cities,
23 и҆ і҆ꙋде́є ѿстꙋ̑пницы, и҆ ѡ҆полче́нїе сотворѧ́юще въ не́мъ ѿ вѣ́ка, є҆ѧ́же ра́ди вины̀ и҆ гра́дъ то́й ѡ҆пꙋстоше́нъ бы́сть:
23 and that the Jews were rebellious, and kept starting wars there in the past. For this cause, this city was laid waste.
24 нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо зна́емо тѝ твори́мъ, господи́не царю̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще гра́дъ се́й созда́нъ бꙋ́детъ и҆ стѣ́ны є҆гѡ̀ возста́влєны бꙋ́дꙋтъ, и҆схо́дꙋ тебѣ̀ ктомꙋ̀ не бꙋ́детъ въ кїлисѷрі́ю и҆ фїнїкі́ю.
24 Therefore now we do declare to you, O lord the king, that if this city is built again, and its walls set up again, you will from then on have no passage into Coelesyria and Phoenicia.”
25 Тогда̀ восписа̀ ца́рь раѳѵ́мꙋ пи́шꙋщемꙋ слꙋча́ємаѧ и҆ веелте́ѳмꙋ и҆ саме́ллїю писцꙋ̀ и҆ про́чымъ, соꙋчинє́нымъ и҆ ѡ҆бита́ющымъ въ самарі́и и҆ сѷрі́и и҆ фїнїкі́и, сїѧ̑ пи̑санаѧ:
25 Then the king wrote back again to Rathumus the recorder, Beeltethmus, Samellius the scribe, and to the rest of their associates who lived in Samaria, Syria, and Phoenicia, as follows:
26 что́хъ посла́нїе, є҆́же посла́сте ко мнѣ̀: повелѣ́хъ ᲂу҆̀бо взыска́ти, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тено є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ гра́дъ то́й є҆́сть ѿ нача́ла царє́мъ противлѧ́ющьсѧ,
26 “I have read the letter which you have sent to me. Therefore I commanded to make search, and it has been found that that city of old time has fought against kings,
27 и҆ человѣ́цы ѿстꙋплє́нїѧ и҆ ѡ҆полче́нїе въ не́мъ сотворѧ́юще, и҆ ца́рїе крѣ́пцы и҆ же́стоцы бы́ша во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, ѡ҆блада́юще и҆ да̑ни налага́юще на кїлисѷрі́ю и҆ фїнїкі́ю:
27 and the men were given to rebellion and war in it, and that mighty and fierce kings were in Jerusalem, who reigned and exacted tribute in Coelesyria and Phoenicia.
28 нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо повелѣ́хъ возбрани́ти человѣ́кѡмъ ѡ҆́нымъ созида́ти гра́дъ и҆ пред̾ꙋсмотрѧ́ти, да ничто́же бо́лѣ си́хъ сотворѧ́тъ,
28 Now therefore I have commanded to prevent those men from building the city, and heed to be taken that there be nothing done contrary to this order,
29 ни да происхо́дѧтъ бо мнѡ́жайшаѧ лꙋка̑вства, во є҆́же царє́мъ трꙋ́дъ твори́ти.
29 and that those wicked doings proceed no further to the annoyance of kings.”
30 Тогда̀ проче́тше ѿ царѧ̀ а҆ртаѯе́рѯа напи̑саннаѧ раѳѵ́мъ и҆ саме́ллїй писе́цъ и҆ съ ни́ми соꙋчине́ннїи, впрѧ́гше потща́ннѡ прїидо́ша во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ съ кѡ́нники и҆ наро́днымъ ѡ҆полче́нїемъ,
30 Then King Artaxerxes, his letters being read, Rathumus, and Samellius the scribe, and the rest of their associates, went in haste to Jerusalem with cavalry and a multitude of people in battle array, and began to hinder the builders. So the building of the temple in Jerusalem ceased until the second year of the reign of King Darius of the Persians.
31 и҆ нача́ша созида́ющихъ ᲂу҆держава́ти: и҆ ᲂу҆праздни́сѧ созида́нїе хра́ма, и҆́же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, да́же до втора́гѡ лѣ́та ца́рства да́рїа царѧ̀ пе́рсскагѡ.
