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 И҆ посла̀ ца́рь а҆нтїо́хъ сы́нъ дими́трїа царѧ̀ посла̑нїѧ ѿ ѻ҆стровѡ́въ морски́хъ сі́мѡнꙋ а҆рхїере́ю и҆ нача́льникꙋ ꙗ҆зы́ка і҆ꙋде́йска и҆ всемꙋ̀ ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ.
1 Antiochus son of Demetrius the king sent a letter from the islands of the sea to Simon the priest and governor of the Jews, and to all the nation.
2 И҆ бѧ́хꙋ содержа́ще ѡ҆́бразъ се́й: ца́рь а҆нтїо́хъ сі́мѡнꙋ жерцꙋ̀ вели́комꙋ и҆ ꙗ҆зы́ка нача́льникꙋ и҆ ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ і҆ꙋде́йскомꙋ ра́доватисѧ:
2 Its contents follow: “King Antiochus to Simon the chief priest and governor, and to the nation of the Jews, greetings.
3 поне́же мꙋ́жїе гꙋби́телє ѡ҆держа́ша ца̑рствїѧ ѻ҆тє́цъ на́шихъ, хощꙋ́ же снабдѣ́ти ца́рство, да ᲂу҆стро́ю є҆̀ ꙗ҆́коже бѣ̀ пре́жде, и҆ ѿ стра́нъ собра́хъ мно́жество си́лъ и҆ сотвори́хъ корабли̑ вѡ́инскїѧ,
3 Whereas certain troublemakers have made themselves masters of the kingdom of our fathers, but my purpose is to claim the kingdom, that I may restore it as it was before; and moreover I have raised a multitude of foreign soldiers, and have prepared warships;
4 хощꙋ́ же и҆зы́ти во странꙋ̀, да ѿмщꙋ̀ растли́вшымъ странꙋ̀ на́шꙋ и҆ ѡ҆пꙋстоши́вшымъ гра́ды мнѡ́ги въ ца́рствїи (мое́мъ),
4 moreover I plan to land in the country, that I may punish those who have destroyed our country, and those who have made many cities in the kingdom desolate;
5 нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо ᲂу҆твержда́ю тебѣ̀ всѧ̑ ѡ҆ставлє́нїѧ да́ней, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ста́виша тебѣ̀ бы́вшїи пре́жде менє̀ ца́рїе, и҆ є҆ли̑ки и҆́ны да́ры ѡ҆ста́виша тебѣ̀,
5 now therefore I confirm to you all the tax remissions which the kings who were before me remitted to you, and whatever gifts besides they remitted to you,
6 и҆ попꙋсти́хъ тебѣ̀ твори́ти кова́нїе ѡ҆со́быхъ пѣ́нѧзей во странѣ̀ твое́й,
6 and I permit you to coin money for your country with your own stamp,
7 і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мꙋ же и҆ ст҃ы́немъ бы́ти свобѡ́днымъ: и҆ всѧ̑ ѻ҆рꙋ̑жїѧ, є҆ли̑ка ᲂу҆гото́валъ є҆сѝ, и҆ тверды̑ни, и҆̀хже созда́лъ є҆сѝ, и҆̀хже держи́ши, да бꙋ́дꙋтъ тебѣ̀:
7 but that Jerusalem and the sanctuary should be free. All the weapons that you have prepared, and the strongholds that you have built, which you have in your possession, let them remain yours.
8 и҆ ве́сь до́лгъ царе́въ, и҆ ꙗ҆̀же подоба́ютъ царе́ви, ѿнн҃ѣ и҆ во всѐ вре́мѧ да ѡ҆ста́вѧтсѧ тебѣ̀:
8 Every debt owed to the king, and the things that will be owed to the king from henceforth and for evermore, let them be remitted to you.
9 є҆гда́ же ѡ҆держи́мъ ца́рство на́ше, просла́вимъ тебѐ и҆ лю́ди твоѧ̑ и҆ свѧти́лище сла́вою вели́кою, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ꙗ҆вле́нна бꙋ́детъ сла́ва ва́ша по все́й землѝ.
9 Moreover, when we have established our kingdom, we will glorify you and your nation and the temple with great glory, so that your glory will be made manifest in all the earth.
10 Лѣ́та сто̀ се́дмьдесѧтъ четве́ртагѡ и҆зы́де а҆нтїо́хъ въ зе́млю ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ, и҆ собра́шасѧ къ немꙋ̀ всѝ вѡ́и, ꙗ҆́кѡ ма̑лымъ бы́ти ѡ҆ста́вшымъ со трѵ́фѡномъ.
10 In the one hundred seventy-fourth year, Antiochus went into the land of his fathers; and all the forces came together to him, so that there were few men with Tryphon.
11 И҆ гна́ше є҆го̀ а҆нтїо́хъ ца́рь, и҆ прїи́де бѣжа́щь въ дѡ́рꙋ, ꙗ҆́же при мо́ри:
11 King Antiochus pursued him, and he came, as he fled, to Dor, which is by the sea;
12 вѣ́дѧше бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ собра́шасѧ ѕла̑ѧ на́нь и҆ ѡ҆ста́виша є҆го̀ во́ини.
12 for he knew that troubles had come upon him all at once, and that his forces had deserted him.
13 И҆ ѡ҆полчи́сѧ а҆нтїо́хъ на дѡ́рꙋ, и҆ съ ни́мъ двана́десѧть те́мъ мꙋже́й бра́нныхъ и҆ ѻ҆́смь ты́сѧщъ ко́нникѡвъ:
13 Antiochus encamped against Dor, and with him one hundred twenty thousand men of war and eight thousand cavalry.
14 и҆ ѡ҆бстꙋпѝ гра́дъ, и҆ корабли̑ ѿ мо́рѧ прїидо́ша, и҆ ѡ҆скорблѧ́ше гра́дъ ѿ землѝ и҆ мо́рѧ, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́ви ни є҆ди́наго и҆зы́ти и҆ вни́ти.
14 He surrounded the city, and the ships joined in the attack from the sea. He harassed the city by land and sea, and permitted no one to go out or in.
15 Прїи́де же нꙋми́нїй и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ ѿ ри́ма, и҆мꙋ́ще посла́нїе царє́мъ и҆ страна́мъ, въ ни́хже напи̑сана сїѧ̑:
15 Numenius and his company came from Rome, having letters to the kings and to the countries, in which were written these things:
16 леѵкі́й ѵ҆па́тъ ри́мскїй птоломе́ю царю̀ ра́доватисѧ:
16 “Lucius, consul of the Romans, to King Ptolemy, greetings.
17 послы̀ і҆ꙋде́йстїи прїидо́ша къ на́мъ дрꙋ́зи на́ши и҆ спобѡ́рницы, ѡ҆бновлѧ́юще пре́жнюю дрꙋ́жбꙋ и҆ споборе́нїе, по́слани ѿ сі́мѡна а҆рхїере́а и҆ люді́й і҆ꙋде́йскихъ,
17 The Jews’ ambassadors came to us as our friends and allies, to renew the old friendship and alliance, being sent from Simon the high priest, and from the people of the Jews.
18 принесо́ша же и҆ щи́тъ златы́й мна̑съ ты́сѧщи:
18 Moreover they brought a shield of gold weighing one thousand minas.
19 ᲂу҆го́дно ᲂу҆̀бо бы́сть на́мъ писа́ти ко царє́мъ и҆ страна́мъ, да не нано́сѧтъ и҆̀мъ ѕѡ́лъ и҆ да не ра́тꙋютъ и҆̀хъ, ни градѡ́въ и҆́хъ, ни страны̀ и҆́хъ, и҆ да не спобора́ютъ ра́тꙋющымъ проти́вꙋ и҆́хъ:
19 It pleased us therefore to write to the kings and to the countries, that they should not seek their harm or fight against them, their cities, and their country, or be allies with those who fight against them.
20 и҆ и҆зво́лисѧ на́мъ прїѧ́ти ѿ ни́хъ щи́тъ:
20 Moreover, it seemed good to us to receive the shield from them.
21 а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо нѣ́цыи гꙋби́телє пребѣжа́ша ѿ страны̀ и҆́хъ къ ва́мъ, преда́йте и҆̀хъ сі́мѡнꙋ а҆рхїере́ю, да ѿмсти́тъ и҆̀мъ по зако́нꙋ своемꙋ̀.
21 If therefore any troublemakers have fled from their country to you, deliver them to Simon the high priest, that he may take vengeance on them according to their law.”
22 Та̑ѧжде написа̀ дими́трїю царю̀ и҆ а҆тта́лꙋ, и҆ а҆рїара́ѳꙋ и҆ а҆рса́кꙋ,
22 He wrote the same things to King Demetrius, to Attalus, to Arathes, to Arsaces,
23 и҆ во всѧ̑ страны̑, и҆ самѱа́кꙋ и҆ спартїа́тѡмъ, и҆ въ ди́лонъ и҆ въ мѵ́ндонъ, и҆ въ сѷкїѡ́нъ и҆ въ карі́ю, и҆ въ са́монъ и҆ въ памфѷлі́ю, и҆ въ лѷкі́ю и҆ въ а҆лїкарна́съ, и҆ въ ро́дъ и҆ въ фасилі́дꙋ, и҆ въ кѡ́ю и҆ въ сїди́нꙋ, и҆ въ а҆ра́дъ и҆ въ гортѵ́нꙋ, и҆ въ кні́дъ и҆ въ кѵ́пръ и҆ въ кѷрині́ю.
23 to all the countries, to Sampsames, to the Spartans, to Delos, to Myndos, to Sicyon, to Caria, to Samos, to Pamphylia, to Lycia, to Halicarnassus, to Rhodes, to Phaselis, to Cos, to Side, to Aradus, Gortyna, Cnidus, Cyprus, and Cyrene.
24 Списа́нїе же и҆́хъ написа́ша сі́мѡнꙋ а҆рхїере́ю.
24 They also wrote this copy to Simon the high priest.
25 А҆нтїо́хъ же ца́рь ѡ҆полчи́сѧ на дѡ́рꙋ втори́цею, наводѧ̀ вы́нꙋ на ню̀ рꙋ́ки и҆ миха̑ны творѧ̀, и҆ заключѝ трѵ́фѡна є҆́же не входи́ти нижѐ и҆сходи́ти.
25 But King Antiochus encamped against Dor the second day, bringing his forces up to it continually, and making engines of war; and he shut up Tryphon from going in or out.
26 И҆ посла̀ є҆мꙋ̀ сі́мѡнъ двѣ̀ ты́сѧщы мꙋже́й и҆збра́нныхъ въ по́мощь є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ сребро̀ и҆ зла́то и҆ сосꙋ́ды мнѡ́ги.
26 Simon sent him two thousand chosen men to fight on his side, with silver, gold, and instruments of war in abundance.
27 И҆ не восхотѣ̀ и҆̀хъ прїѧ́ти, но ѿве́рже всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка завѣща̀ є҆мꙋ̀ пре́жде, и҆ ѿчꙋжди́сѧ ѿ негѡ̀.
27 He would not receive them, but nullified all the covenants which he had made with him before, and was estranged from him.
28 И҆ посла̀ къ немꙋ̀ а҆ѳинові́а є҆ди́наго ѿ дрꙋгѡ́въ свои́хъ, да побесѣ́дꙋетъ съ ни́мъ, глаго́лѧ: вы̀ держитѐ і҆ѻппі́ю и҆ газа́рꙋ и҆ краегра́дїе є҆́же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, гра́ды ца́рства моегѡ̀,
28 He sent to him Athenobius, one of his friends, to confer with him, saying, “You hold possession of Joppa, Gazara, and the citadel that is in Jerusalem, cities of my kingdom.
29 предѣ́лы и҆́хъ ѡ҆пꙋстоши́сте, и҆ сотвори́сте ꙗ҆́звꙋ вели́кꙋ на землѝ, и҆ госпо́дствовасте мѣста́ми мно́гими въ ца́рствїи мое́мъ:
29 You have devastated their territory, and done great harm in the land, and control many places in my kingdom.
30 нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо ѿдади́те гра́ды, и҆̀хже взѧ́сте, и҆ да̑ни мѣ́стъ, и҆́миже ѡ҆госпо́дствовасте внѣ̀ предѣ́лѡвъ і҆ꙋде́йскихъ:
30 Now therefore hand over the cities which you have taken, and the tributes of the places which you have taken control of outside of the borders of Judea;
31 а҆́ще же нѝ, дади́те мѣ́стѡ си́хъ пѧ́ть сѡ́тъ тала́нтѡвъ сребра̀, и҆ за ѡ҆пꙋстоше́нїе, и҆́мже ѡ҆пꙋстоши́сте, и҆ за да̑ни градѡ́въ дрꙋгі̑ѧ пѧ́ть сѡ́тъ тала́нтѡвъ: а҆́ще же нѝ, прише́дше пора́тꙋемъ ва́съ.
31 or else give me for them five hundred talents of silver; and for the harm that you have done, and the tributes of the cities, another five hundred talents. Otherwise we will come and subdue you.”
32 И҆ прїи́де а҆ѳинові́й дрꙋ́гъ ца́рскїй во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, и҆ ви́дѣ сла́вꙋ сі́мѡновꙋ, и҆ сокро́вище зла́та и҆ сребра̀, и҆ ᲂу҆строе́нїе дово́льно, и҆ ᲂу҆жасе́сѧ, и҆ возвѣстѝ є҆мꙋ̀ словеса̀ ца̑рска.
32 Athenobius, the king’s friend, came to Jerusalem. When he saw the glory of Simon, the cupboard of gold and silver vessels, and his great attendance, he was amazed. He reported to him the king’s words.
33 И҆ ѿвѣща́въ сі́мѡнъ, речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: нижѐ чꙋждꙋ́ю зе́млю прїѧ́хомъ, нижѐ чꙋжда̑ѧ ѡ҆держа́хомъ, но наслѣ́дїе ѻ҆тє́цъ на́шихъ, ѿ вра̑гъ же на́шихъ въ нѣ́кое вре́мѧ непра́веднѡ ᲂу҆держа́сѧ:
33 Simon answered, and said to him, “We have not taken other men’s land nor do we have possession of that which belongs to others, but of the inheritance of our fathers. However, it had been in possession of our enemies wrongfully for a while.
34 мы́ же вре́мѧ и҆мꙋ́ще воспрїѧ́хомъ наслѣ́дїе ѻ҆тє́цъ на́шихъ:
34 But we, having opportunity, firmly hold the inheritance of our fathers.
35 ѡ҆ і҆ѻппі́и же и҆ газа́рѣхъ, и҆̀хже про́сиши, сі́и творѧ́хꙋ въ лю́дехъ ꙗ҆́звꙋ ве́лїю въ странѣ̀ на́шей, ѿ си́хъ дади́мъ тала̑нтъ сто̀. И҆ не ѿвѣща̀ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆ѳинові́й словесѐ.
35 As for Joppa and Gazara, which you demand, they did great harm among the people throughout our country. We will give one hundred talents for them.” Athenobius didn’t answer even one word,
36 Возврати́сѧ же съ ꙗ҆́ростїю ко царю̀ и҆ возвѣстѝ є҆мꙋ̀ словеса̀ сїѧ̑ и҆ сла́вꙋ сі́мѡновꙋ и҆ всѧ̑ є҆ли̑ка ви́дѣ. И҆ прогнѣ́васѧ ца́рь гнѣ́вомъ ве́лїимъ.
36 but returned in a rage to the king, and reported to him these words, and the glory of Simon, and all that he had seen; and the king was exceedingly angry.
37 Трѵ́фѡнъ же всѣ́дъ къ кора́бль, ѿбѣжѐ во ѻ҆рѳѡсїа́дꙋ.
37 Meanwhile, Tryphon embarked on board a ship, and fled to Orthosia.
38 И҆ поста́ви ца́рь кендеве́а воево́дою примо́рскимъ и҆ си̑лы пѣхѡ́тныѧ и҆ кѡ́нныѧ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀.
38 The king appointed Cendebaeus chief captain of the sea coast, and gave him troops of infantry and cavalry.
39 И҆ повелѣ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆полчи́тисѧ проти́вꙋ лица̀ і҆ꙋде́йска, и҆ заповѣ́да є҆мꙋ̀ созда́ти кедрѡ́нъ и҆ ᲂу҆тверди́ти врата̀, и҆ да ра́тꙋетъ лю́ди. Ца́рь же гонѧ́ше трѵ́фѡна.
39 He commanded him to encamp against Judea, and he commanded him to build up Kidron, and to fortify the gates, and that he should fight against the people; but the king pursued Tryphon.
40 И҆ прїи́де кендеве́й во і҆амні́ю и҆ нача̀ раздража́ти лю́ди и҆ входи́ти во і҆ꙋде́ю и҆ плѣни́ти лю́ди и҆ ᲂу҆бива́ти: и҆ созда̀ кедрѡ́нъ
40 So Cendebaeus came to Jamnia and began to provoke the people, and to invade Judea, and to take the people captive and kill them.
41 и҆ поста́ви та́мѡ ко́нники и҆ си̑лы, ꙗ҆́кѡ да и҆сходѧ́ще прохо́дѧтъ пꙋти̑ і҆ꙋдє́йскїѧ, ꙗ҆́коже повелѣ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ ца́рь.
41 He built Kidron and stationed cavalry and infantry there, to the end that going out they might make raids on the highways of Judea, as the king had commanded him.
