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 бы́сть, є҆гда̀ поража́ше а҆леѯа́ндръ македо́нскїй сы́нъ фїлі́ппа, и҆́же и҆зы́де ѿ землѝ хеттїи́мъ, поразѝ и҆ да́рїа царѧ̀ пе́рсскаго и҆ ми́дскаго, и҆ воцари́сѧ вмѣ́стѡ є҆гѡ̀ пе́рвый во є҆лла́дѣ,
1 After Alexander the Macedonian, the son of Philip, who came out of the land of Chittim, and struck Darius king of the Persians and Medes, it came to pass, after he had struck him, that he reigned in his place, in former time, over Greece.
2 и҆ соста́ви бра̑ни мнѡ́ги, и҆ ѡ҆держа̀ твєрды́ни мнѡ́ги, и҆ ᲂу҆бѝ цари̑ зє́мскїѧ,
2 He fought many battles, won many strongholds, killed the kings of the earth,
3 и҆ про́йде да́же до кра́євъ землѝ, и҆ взѧ̀ коры̑сти мно́гихъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ. и҆ ᲂу҆молчѐ землѧ̀ пред̾ ни́мъ. и҆ возвы́сисѧ, и҆ вознесе́сѧ се́рдце є҆гѡ̀.
3 went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils of a multitude of nations. The earth was quiet before him. He was exalted. His heart was lifted up.
4 И҆ собра̀ си́лꙋ крѣ́пкꙋ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ нача́льствова над̾ страна́ми и҆ ꙗ҆зы̑ки и҆ мꙋчи́тельми, и҆ бы́ша є҆мꙋ̀ въ да́нники.
4 He gathered together an exceedingly strong army and ruled over countries, nations, and principalities, and they paid him tribute.
5 И҆ по си́хъ падѐ на ло́же и҆ позна̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆мира́етъ:
5 After these things he fell sick, and perceived that he was going to die.
6 и҆ созва̀ ѻ҆́троки своѧ̑ благорѡ́дныѧ, и҆̀же съ ни́мъ бѧ́хꙋ совоспита́ни ѿ ю҆́ности є҆гѡ̀, и҆ раздѣлѝ и҆̀мъ ца́рство своѐ є҆щѐ жи́въ сы́й.
6 He called his honorable servants, which had been brought up with him from his youth, and he divided to them his kingdom while he was still alive.
7 И҆ ца́рствова а҆леѯа́ндръ лѣ́тъ двана́десѧть и҆ ᲂу҆́мре.
7 Alexander reigned twelve years, then he died.
8 И҆ ѡ҆блада́ша ѻ҆́троцы є҆гѡ̀ кі́йждо въ мѣ́стѣ свое́мъ.
8 Then his servants ruled, each one in his place.
9 И҆ возложи́ша всѝ дїади̑мы по сме́рти є҆гѡ̀, и҆ сы́нове и҆́хъ по ни́хъ лѣ̑та мнѡ́га, и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жиша ѕла̑ѧ на землѝ.
9 They all put crowns upon themselves after he was dead, and so did their sons after them many years; and they multiplied evils on the earth.
10 И҆ и҆зы́де ѿ ни́хъ ко́рень грѣха̀ а҆нтїо́хъ є҆пїфа́нъ, сы́нъ а҆нтїо́ха царѧ̀, и҆́же бѣ̀ зало́гомъ въ ри́мѣ: и҆ ца́рствова въ лѣ́тѣ сто̀ три́десѧть седмѣ́мъ ца́рства є҆́ллинскагѡ.
10 There came out of them a sinful root, Antiochus Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king, who had been a hostage at Rome, and he reigned in the one hundred thirty seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks.
11 Во дне́хъ тѣ́хъ и҆зыдо́ша ѿ і҆и҃лѧ сы́нове беззако́ннїи и҆ наꙋсти́ша мно́гихъ глаго́люще: по́йдемъ и҆ завѣща́емъ завѣ́тъ съ ꙗ҆зы̑ки, и҆̀же ѡ҆́крестъ на́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿне́лѣже ѿлꙋчи́хомсѧ ѿ ни́хъ, ѡ҆брѣто́ша на́съ мнѡ́га ѕла̑ѧ.
11 In those days transgressors of the law came out of Israel and persuaded many, saying, “Let’s go make a covenant with the Gentiles around us; for since we were separated from them many evils have befallen us.”
12 И҆ благоꙋви́дѣсѧ сло́во во ѻ҆́чїю и҆́хъ:
12 That proposal was good in their eyes.
13 и҆ пред̾избра́шасѧ нѣ́цыи ѿ люді́й и҆ и҆до́ша ко царю̀: и҆ дадѐ и҆̀мъ вла́сть твори́ти ѡ҆правда̑нїѧ ꙗ҆зы́чєскаѧ.
13 Some of the people eagerly went to the king, and he authorized them to observe the ordinances of the Gentiles.
14 И҆ созда́ша (себѣ̀) ᲂу҆чи́лище во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ по зако́нѡмъ ꙗ҆зы́чєскимъ.
14 So they built a gymnasium in Jerusalem according to the laws of the Gentiles.
15 И҆ сотвори́ша себѣ̀ неѡбрѣ́занїе, и҆ ѿстꙋпи́ша ѿ завѣ́та ст҃а́гѡ, и҆ сопрѧго́шасѧ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ, и҆ прода́шасѧ є҆́же твори́ти лꙋка́вое.
15 They made themselves uncircumcised, forsook the holy covenant, joined themselves to the Gentiles, and sold themselves to do evil.
16 И҆ ᲂу҆гото́васѧ ца́рство пред̾ а҆нтїо́хомъ: и҆ ᲂу҆мы́сли ца́рствовати во є҆гѵ́птѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ца́рствꙋетъ над̾ двѣма̀ ца́рствома.
16 The kingdom was established in the sight of Antiochus, and he planned to reign over Egypt, that he might reign over both kingdoms.
17 И҆ вни́де во є҆гѵ́петъ въ наро́дѣ тѧ́жцѣ, на колесни́цахъ и҆ на сло́нѣхъ, и҆ на вса́дникахъ и҆ на корабле́хъ мно́гихъ.
17 He entered into Egypt with a great multitude, with chariots, with elephants, with cavalry, and with a great navy.
18 И҆ соста́ви бра́нь на птоломе́а царѧ̀ є҆гѵ́петскаго: и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́сѧ птоломе́й ѿ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ побѣжѐ, и҆ падо́ша ꙗ҆́звени мно́зи.
18 He made war against Ptolemy king of Egypt. Ptolemy was put to shame before him, and fled; and many fell wounded to death.
19 И҆ взѧ́ша гра́ды твє́рды въ землѝ є҆гѵ́петстѣй: и҆ взѧ̀ кѡры́сти землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ.
19 They took possession of the strong cities in the land of Egypt, and he took the spoils of Egypt.
20 И҆ ѡ҆брати́сѧ а҆нтїо́хъ, повнегда̀ поразѝ є҆гѵ́пта во сто̀ четы́редесѧть тре́тїе лѣ́то: и҆ взы́де на і҆и҃лѧ и҆ на і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ въ наро́дѣ тѧ́жцѣ,
20 Antiochus, after he had defeated Egypt, returned in the one hundred forty third year, and went up against Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude,
21 и҆ вни́де во свѧти́лище съ горды́нею, и҆ взѧ̀ ѻ҆лта́рь златы́й и҆ свѣти́льникъ свѣ́щный и҆ всѧ̑ сосꙋ́ды є҆гѡ̀,
21 and entered presumptuously into the sanctuary, and took the golden altar, the lampstand for the light, and all its utensils.
22 и҆ трапе́зꙋ предложе́нїѧ и҆ возлїѧ́льники, и҆ фїа́лы и҆ кади̑льницы златы̑ѧ, и҆ катапета́смꙋ и҆ вѣнцы̀ и҆ ᲂу҆краше́нїе злато́е, є҆́же на лицы̀ це́ркви (бѧ́ше), и҆ сокрꙋшѝ всѧ̑:
22 He took the table of the show bread, the cups for the drink offerings, the bowls, the golden censers, the veil, the crowns, and the gold decoration on the front of the temple. He peeled it all off.
23 и҆ взѧ̀ сребро̀ и҆ зла́то и҆ сосꙋ́ды вожделѣ̑нныѧ: и҆ взѧ̀ сокрѡ́вища та̑йнаѧ, и҆̀хже ѡ҆брѣ́те.
23 He took the silver, the gold, and the precious vessels. He took the hidden treasures which he found.
24 И҆ взе́мъ всѧ̑ ѿи́де въ зе́млю свою̀, и҆ сотворѝ ᲂу҆бі́йство, и҆ глаго́ла въ го́рдости вели́цѣй.
24 When he had taken all of these, he went away into his own land. He made a great slaughter, and spoke very arrogantly.
25 И҆ бы́сть пла́чь вели́къ во і҆и҃ли на всѧ́цѣмъ мѣ́стѣ и҆́хъ.
25 Great mourning came upon Israel, in every place where they were.
26 И҆ возстена́ша нача̑льницы и҆ старѣ̑йшины, дѣ̑вы и҆ ю҆́нѡши и҆знемого́ша, и҆ красота̀ же́нскаѧ и҆змѣни́сѧ.
26 The rulers and elders groaned. The virgins and young men were made feeble. The beauty of the women was changed.
27 Всѧ́къ жени́хъ прїѧ̀ пла́чь, и҆ сѣдѧ́щаѧ на ѻ҆дрѣ̀ бра́чнѣ бы́сть въ печа́ли.
27 Every bridegroom took up lamentation. She who sat in the marriage chamber was mourning.
28 И҆ потрѧсе́сѧ землѧ̀ на ѡ҆бита́ющихъ на не́й, и҆ ве́сь до́мъ і҆а́кѡвль ѡ҆блече́сѧ стꙋдо́мъ.
28 The land was moved for its inhabitants, and all the house of Jacob was clothed with shame.
29 И҆ по двою̀ лѣ̑тꙋ дні́й посла̀ ца́рь нача́льника да́немъ во гра́ды і҆ꙋ̑дины. и҆ прїи́де во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ съ наро́домъ вели́кимъ
29 After two full years, the king sent a chief collector of tribute to the cities of Judah, and he came to Jerusalem with a great multitude.
30 и҆ глаго́ла къ ни̑мъ словеса̀ ми̑рнаѧ во льстѝ. и҆ вѣ́роваша є҆мꙋ̀. и҆ нападѐ на гра́дъ внеза́пꙋ и҆ поразѝ є҆го̀ ꙗ҆́звою вели́кою и҆ погꙋбѝ лю́ди мнѡ́ги ѿ і҆и҃лѧ:
30 He spoke words of peace to them in subtlety, and they believed him. Then he fell upon the city suddenly, struck it very severely, and destroyed many people of Israel.
31 и҆ взѧ̀ кѡры́сти гра́да и҆ сожжѐ є҆го̀ ѻ҆гне́мъ, и҆ разорѝ до́мы є҆гѡ̀ и҆ стѣ́ны є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆́крестъ:
31 He took the spoils of the city, set it on fire, and pulled down its houses and its walls on every side.
32 и҆ плѣни́ша же́нъ и҆ ча̑дъ, и҆ скоты̀ раздѣли́ша,
32 They led captive the women and the children, and seized the livestock.
33 и҆ ѡ҆гради́ша гра́дъ даві́довъ стѣно́ю вели́кою и҆ крѣ́пкою и҆ ба́шнѧми крѣ́пкими, и҆ бы́сть и҆̀мъ въ крѣ́пость:
33 Then they fortified the city of David with a large, strong wall and with strong towers, and it became their citadel.
34 и҆ посади́ша та́мѡ люді́й грѣ́шникѡвъ, мꙋже́й беззако́нныхъ, и҆ возмого́ша въ не́й:
34 They put a sinful nation, transgressors of the law, there, and they strengthened themselves in it.
35 и҆ положи́ша ѻ҆рꙋ̑жїѧ и҆ бра̑шна, и҆ собира́хꙋ кѡры́сти і҆ерⷭ҇ли̑мскїѧ, и҆ полага́хꙋ та́мѡ: и҆ бы́ша въ сѣ́ть вели́кꙋ,
35 They stored up weapons and food, and gathering together the spoils of Jerusalem, they stored them there, and they became a great menace.
36 и҆ бы́сть въ лови́тельство ст҃ы́ни и҆ въ дїа́вола лꙋка́ваго і҆и҃лю вы́нꙋ.
36 It became a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil adversary to Israel continually.
37 И҆ пролїѧ́ша кро́вь непови́ннꙋю ѡ҆́крестъ свѧти́лища и҆ ѡ҆скверни́ша ст҃ы́ню.
37 They shed innocent blood on every side of the sanctuary, and defiled the sanctuary.
38 И҆ бѣжа́ша ѡ҆бита́ющїи во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ и҆́хъ ра́ди, и҆ бы́сть ѡ҆бита́нїе чꙋжди̑мъ: и҆ бы́сть чꙋ́ждо сѣ́мени рожде́нїѧ своегѡ̀, и҆ ча̑да є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆ста́виша є҆го̀.
38 The inhabitants of Jerusalem fled because of them. She became a habitation of foreigners. She became foreign to those who were born in her, and her children forsook her.
39 Ст҃ы́нѧ є҆гѡ̀ разоре́на ꙗ҆́кѡ пꙋсты́нѧ, пра́здницы є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆браще́ни сꙋ́ть во пла́чь, сꙋббѡ̑ты є҆гѡ̀ въ поноше́нїе, че́сть є҆гѡ̀ во ᲂу҆ничиже́нїе:
39 Her sanctuary was laid waste like a wilderness, her feasts were turned into mourning, her Sabbaths into reproach, and her honor into contempt.
40 по сла́вѣ є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆мно́жисѧ безче́стїе є҆гѡ̀, и҆ высота̀ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆браще́на бы́сть во пла́чь.
40 According to her glory, so was her dishonor multiplied, and her exaltation was turned into mourning.
41 И҆ писа̀ ца́рь а҆нтїо́хъ всемꙋ̀ ца́рствꙋ своемꙋ̀, да бꙋ́дꙋтъ всѝ лю́дїе є҆ди́но,
41 King Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom that all should be one people,
42 и҆ ѡ҆ста́витъ кі́йждо зако́нъ сво́й. и҆ соизво́лиша всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы по сло́вꙋ царѧ̀ (а҆нтїо́ха).
42 and that each should forsake his own laws. All the nations agreed according to the word of the king.
43 И҆ мно́зи ѿ і҆и҃лѧ и҆зво́лиша слꙋже́нїю є҆гѡ̀ и҆ пожро́ша і҆́дѡлѡмъ и҆ ѡ҆скверни́ша сꙋббѡ́тꙋ.
43 Many of Israel consented to his worship, sacrificed to the idols, and profaned the Sabbath.
44 И҆ посла̀ ца́рь кни̑ги рꙋко́ю вѣ́стникѡвъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ и҆ во гра́ды і҆ꙋ̑дины, да по́йдꙋтъ в̾слѣ́дъ зако́нѡвъ чꙋжди́хъ землѝ
44 The king sent letters by the hand of messengers to Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, that they should follow laws strange to the land,
45 и҆ возбранѧ́тъ всесожжє́нїѧ и҆ же́ртвꙋ и҆ возлїѧ́нїе ѿ ст҃ы́ни, и҆ ѡ҆мерзѧ́тъ сꙋббѡ̑ты и҆ пра́здники,
45 and should forbid whole burnt offerings and sacrifice and drink offerings in the sanctuary; and should profane the Sabbaths and feasts,
46 и҆ ѡ҆сквернѧ́тъ ст҃ы́ню и҆ ст҃ы́хъ,
46 and pollute the sanctuary and those who were holy;
47 и҆ сози́ждꙋтъ трє́бища и҆ ка̑пища и҆ кꙋмі̑рницы, и҆ да жрꙋ́тъ мѧса̀ свина̑ѧ и҆ скоты̀ ѻ҆́бщыѧ:
47 that they should build altars, and temples, and shrines for idols, and should sacrifice swine’s flesh and unclean animals;
48 и҆ да ѡ҆ста́вѧтъ сы́ны своѧ̑ неѡбрѣ̑заны, є҆́же ѡ҆скверни́ти дꙋ́шы и҆́хъ во всѧ́цѣй нечистотѣ̀ и҆ ѡ҆скверне́нїи,
48 and that they should leave their sons uncircumcised, that they should make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation;
49 ꙗ҆́кѡ да забꙋ́дꙋтъ зако́нъ и҆ и҆змѣнѧ́тъ всѧ̑ ѡ҆правда̑нїѧ (бж҃їѧ).
49 so that they might forget the law, and change all the ordinances.
50 И҆ и҆́же а҆́ще не сотвори́тъ по глаго́лꙋ царе́вꙋ, да ᲂу҆́мретъ.
50 Whoever doesn’t do according to the word of the king, he shall die.
51 По всѣ̑мъ словесє́мъ си̑мъ написа̀ всемꙋ̀ ца́рствꙋ своемꙋ̀ и҆ приста́ви надзира́тєли над̾ всѣ́ми людьмѝ: и҆ повелѣ̀ градѡ́мъ і҆ꙋ̑динымъ жре́ти во всѧ́цѣмъ гра́дѣ.
51 He wrote according to all these words to his whole kingdom. He appointed overseers over all the people, and he commanded the cities of Judah to sacrifice, city by city.
52 И҆ собра́шасѧ мно́зи ѿ люді́й къ ни̑мъ, всѧ́къ ѡ҆ста́вивый зако́нъ гдⷭ҇ень: и҆ сотвори́ша лꙋка̑ваѧ на землѝ
52 From the people were gathered together to them many, everyone who had forsaken the law; and they did evil things in the land.
53 и҆ положи́ша і҆и҃лѧ въ та́йныхъ во всѧ́цѣмъ ᲂу҆бѣ́жищи и҆́хъ.
53 They made Israel to hide themselves in every place of refuge which they had.
54 И҆ въ пѧтыйна́десѧть де́нь мцⷭ҇а хасле́ѵа, въ лѣ́то сто̀ четы́редесѧть пѧ́тое созда́ша ме́рзость запꙋстѣ́нїѧ на ѻ҆лтарѝ (бж҃їи), и҆ во градѣ́хъ і҆ꙋ́диныхъ ѡ҆́крестъ созда́ша трє́бища.
54 On the fifteenth day of Chislev, in the one hundred forty fifth year, they built an abomination of desolation upon the altar, and in the cities of Judah on every side they built idol altars.
55 И҆ пред̾ две́рьми домѡ́въ и҆ на сто́гнахъ кадѧ́хꙋ,
55 At the doors of the houses and in the streets they burned incense.
56 и҆ кни̑ги зако́на (бж҃їѧ), и҆̀хже ѡ҆брѣто́ша, сожго́ша ѻ҆гне́мъ, раздира́юще (и҆̀хъ).
56 They tore the books of the law which they found in pieces and set them on fire.
57 И҆ и҆дѣ́же ѡ҆брѣта́шесѧ ᲂу҆ когѡ̀ кни́га завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ, и҆ а҆́ще кто̀ соизволѧ́ше зако́нꙋ гдⷭ҇ню, по повелѣ́нїю царе́вꙋ закала́хꙋ є҆го̀.
57 Anyone who was found with any a book of the covenant, and if any consented to the law, the king’s sentence delivered him to death.
58 Въ си́лѣ свое́й творѧ́хꙋ си́це лю́демъ і҆и҃лєвымъ, ѡ҆брѣта́ющымсѧ во всѧ́цѣмъ мцⷭ҇ѣ и҆ мцⷭ҇ѣ во градѣ́хъ.
58 Thus did they in their might to Israel, to those who were found month by month in the cities.
59 И҆ въ два́десѧть пѧ́тый де́нь мцⷭ҇а жрѧ́хꙋ въ ка́пищи, є҆́же бѣ̀ на ѻ҆лтарѝ.
59 On the twenty-fifth day of the month they sacrificed upon the idol altar that was on top of the altar of burnt offering.
60 И҆ же́нъ ѡ҆брѣ́завшихъ ча̑да своѧ̑ закала́ша по повелѣ́нїю (царе́вꙋ),
60 They put to death women who had circumcised their children, according to the commandment.
61 и҆ ѡ҆бѣ́шахꙋ дѣ̑тища за ші̑и и҆́хъ, до́мы и҆́хъ расхища́хꙋ, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́завшихъ ѧ҆̀ ᲂу҆мерщвлѧ́хꙋ.
61 They hung their babies around their necks, and their houses, and those who had circumcised them.
62 И҆ мно́зи ѿ люді́й і҆и҃левыхъ ᲂу҆держа́шасѧ и҆ ᲂу҆тверди́шасѧ въ себѣ̀, є҆́же не ꙗ҆́сти скве́рныхъ,
62 Many in Israel were fully resolved and confirmed in themselves not to eat unclean things.
63 и҆ и҆збра́ша па́че ᲂу҆мре́ти, не́же ѡ҆скверни́тисѧ бра́шны, и҆ не хотѣ́ша престꙋпи́ти зако́на бж҃їѧ ст҃а́гѡ: и҆ закла́ни бы́ша.
63 They chose to die, that they might not be defiled with the food, and that they might not profane the holy covenant; and they died.
64 И҆ бы́сть гнѣ́въ ве́лїй на і҆и҃лѧ ѕѣлѡ̀.
64 Exceedingly great wrath came upon Israel.
