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 во дни̑ ѡ҆́ны, и҆ собра́шасѧ и҆ноплемє́нницы проти́вꙋ і҆и҃лѧ на бра́нь: и҆ и҆зы́де і҆и҃ль во срѣ́тенїе и҆̀мъ на бра́нь, и҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ во а҆венезе́рѣ, и҆ и҆ноплемє́нницы ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ во а҆фе́цѣ:
1 Y SAMUEL habló á todo Israel. Por aquel tiempo salió Israel á encontrar en batalla á los Filisteos, y asentó campo junto á Eben-ezer, y los Filisteos asentaron el suyo en Aphec.
1 The word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
2 и҆ срази́шасѧ и҆ноплемє́нницы на бра́ни со і҆и҃льтѧны, и҆ преклони́сѧ бра́нь, и҆ падо́ша мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃лєвы пред̾ и҆ноплемє́нники, и҆ ᲂу҆бїе́ни бы́ша въ бра́ни на селѣ̀ четы́ри ты́сѧщы мꙋже́й.
2 Y los Filisteos presentaron la batalla á Israel; y trabándose el combate, Israel fué vencido delante de los Filisteos, los cuales hirieron en la batalla por el campo como cuatro mil hombres.
2 The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel. When they joined battle, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men of the army in the field.
3 И҆ прїидо́ша лю́дїе въ по́лкъ, и҆ рѣ́ша старѣ̑йшины і҆и҃лєвы: почто̀ поразѝ на́съ гдⷭ҇ь дне́сь пред̾ и҆ноплемє́нники; во́змемъ кївѡ́тъ бг҃а на́шегѡ ѿ силѡ́ма, и҆ и҆зы́детъ посредѣ̀ на́съ и҆ сп҃се́тъ ны̀ ѿ рꙋкѝ вра̑гъ на́шихъ.
3 Y vuelto que hubo el pueblo al campamento, los ancianos de Israel dijeron: ¿Por qué nos ha herido hoy Jehová delante de los Filisteos? Traigamos á nosotros de Silo el arca del pacto de Jehová, para que viniendo entre nosotros nos salve de la mano de nuestros enemigos.
3 When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has Yahweh defeated us today before the Philistines? Let’s get the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of Shiloh and bring it to us, that it may come among us and save us out of the hand of our enemies.”
4 И҆ посла́ша лю́дїе въ силѡ́мъ, и҆ взѧ́ша ѿтꙋ́дꙋ кївѡ́тъ гдⷭ҇а сѣдѧ́щагѡ на херꙋві́мѣхъ: и҆ (бы́ша) та́мѡ ѻ҆́ба сы̑на и҆лі̑ина съ кївѡ́томъ бж҃їимъ, ѻ҆фні̀ и҆ фїнее́съ.
4 Y envió el pueblo á Silo, y trajeron de allá el arca del pacto de Jehová de los ejércitos, que estaba asentado entre los querubines; y los dos hijos de Eli, Ophni y Phinees, estaban allí con el arca del pacto de Dios.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of Armies, who sits above the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ прїи́де кївѡ́тъ гдⷭ҇ень въ по́лкъ, и҆ возопѝ ве́сь і҆и҃ль гла́сомъ вели́кимъ, и҆ возшꙋмѣ̀ землѧ̀.
5 Y aconteció que, como el arca del pacto de Jehová vino al campo, todo Israel dió grita con tan gran júbilo, que la tierra tembló.
5 When the ark of Yahweh’s covenant came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth resounded.
6 И҆ ᲂу҆слы́шаша и҆ноплемє́нницы гла́съ во́плѧ и҆ рѣ́ша: что̀ се́й во́пль вели́кїй въ полцѣ̀ є҆вре́йстѣ; И҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ кївѡ́тъ гдⷭ҇ень прїи́де въ по́лкъ.
6 Y cuando los Filisteos oyeron la voz de júbilo, dijeron: ¿Qué voz de gran júbilo es esta en el campo de los Hebreos? Y supieron que el arca de Jehová había venido al campo.
6 When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” They understood that Yahweh’s ark had come into the camp.
7 И҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ и҆ноплемє́нницы и҆ рѣ́ша: сі́и бо́зи прїидо́ша къ ни̑мъ въ по́лкъ: го́ре на́мъ, и҆зми́ ны, го́споди, дне́сь: ꙗ҆́кѡ не бы́сть та́кѡ вчера̀ и҆ тре́тїѧгѡ днѐ:
7 Y los Filisteos tuvieron miedo, porque decían: Ha venido Dios al campo. Y dijeron: ¡Ay de nosotros! pues antes de ahora no fué así.
7 The Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp.” They said, “Woe to us! For there has not been such a thing before.
8 го́ре на́мъ, кто́ ны и҆́зметъ ѿ рꙋкѝ богѡ́въ крѣ́пкихъ си́хъ; сі́и сꙋ́ть бо́зи, поби́вшїи є҆гѵ́пта всѧ́кими ꙗ҆́звами и҆ въ пꙋсты́ни:
8 ¡Ay de nosotros! ¿Quién nos librará de las manos de estos dioses fuertes? Estos son los dioses que hirieron á Egipto con toda plaga en el desierto.
8 Woe to us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
9 ᲂу҆крѣпи́тесѧ и҆ бꙋ́дите въ мꙋ́жы, и҆ноплемє́нницы, ꙗ҆́кѡ да не порабо́таете є҆вре́ѡмъ, ꙗ҆́коже порабо́таша на́мъ, бꙋ́дите ᲂу҆̀бо въ мꙋ́жы и҆ бі́йтесѧ съ ни́ми.
9 Esforzaos, oh Filisteos, y sed hombres, porque no sirváis á los Hebreos, como ellos os han servido á vosotros: sed hombres, y pelead.
9 Be strong and behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen yourselves like men, and fight!”
10 И҆ би́шасѧ съ ни́ми: и҆ падо́ша мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃лєвы пред̾ и҆ноплемє́нники, и҆ побѣжѐ кі́йждо въ селе́нїе своѐ, и҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́зва вели́ка ѕѣлѡ̀: и҆ падѐ ѿ і҆и҃лѧ три́десѧть ты́сѧщъ чинѡ́въ:
10 Pelearon pues los Filisteos, é Israel fué vencido, y huyeron cada cual á sus tiendas; y fué hecha muy grande mortandad, pues cayeron de Israel treinta mil hombres de á pie.
10 The Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and each man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter; for thirty thousand footmen of Israel fell.
11 и҆ кївѡ́тъ бж҃їй взѧ́тъ бы́сть, и҆ ѻ҆́ба сы́ны и҆лі̑ины ᲂу҆мро́ша, ѻ҆фні̀ и҆ фїнее́съ.
11 Y el arca de Dios fué tomada, y muertos los dos hijos de Eli, Ophni y Phinees.
11 God’s ark was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
12 И҆ течѐ мꙋ́жъ ѿ бра́ни і҆емїне́й, и҆ прїи́де въ силѡ́мъ въ де́нь ѡ҆́нъ, и҆ ри̑зы своѧ̑ растерза́въ, и҆ пе́рсть бѣ̀ на главѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀.
12 Y corriendo de la batalla un hombre de Benjamín, vino aquel día á Silo, rotos sus vestidos y tierra sobre su cabeza:
12 A man of Benjamin ran out of the army and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head.
13 И҆ прїи́де, и҆ сѐ, и҆лі́й сѣдѧ́ше на престо́лѣ свое́мъ ᲂу҆ две́рїй, смотрѧ̀ на пꙋ́ть, ꙗ҆́кѡ бѣ̀ се́рдце є҆гѡ̀ во ᲂу҆́жасѣ (вели́цѣ) ѡ҆ кївѡ́тѣ бж҃їи. И҆ человѣ́къ вни́де во гра́дъ возвѣща́ѧ: и҆ возопѝ ве́сь гра́дъ гла́сомъ вели́кимъ:
13 Y cuando llegó, he aquí Eli que estaba sentado en una silla atalayando junto al camino; porque su corazón estaba temblando por causa del arca de Dios. Llegado pues aquel hombre á la ciudad, y dadas las nuevas, toda la ciudad gritó.
13 When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for God’s ark. When the man came into the city and told about it, all the city cried out.
14 и҆ слы́ша и҆лі́й гла́съ во́плѧ и҆ речѐ: что̀ є҆́сть гла́съ во́плѧ сегѡ̀; И҆ человѣ́къ потща́всѧ вни́де и҆ повѣ́да и҆лі́ю.
14 Y como Eli oyó el estruendo de la gritería, dijo: ¿Qué estruendo de alboroto es éste? Y aquel hombre vino apriesa, y dió las nuevas á Eli.
14 When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, “What does the noise of this tumult mean?” The man hurried, and came and told Eli.
15 И҆ бѣ̀ и҆лі́й девѧти́десѧти ѻ҆смѝ лѣ́тъ, и҆ ѻ҆́чи є҆гѡ̀ и҆знемого́ста, и҆ не ви́дѧше.
15 Era ya Eli de edad de noventa y ocho años, y sus ojos se habían entenebrecido, de modo que no podía ver.
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old. His eyes were set, so that he could not see.
16 И҆ речѐ и҆лі́й мꙋжє́мъ предстоѧ́щымъ себѣ̀: что̀ гла́съ во́плѧ сегѡ̀; И҆ мꙋ́жъ потща́всѧ вни́де ко и҆лі́ю и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: а҆́зъ є҆́смь прише́дый и҆з̾ полка̀, и҆ а҆́зъ прибѣжа́хъ ѿ бра́ни дне́сь. И҆ речѐ и҆лі́й: что̀ бы́вшїй глаго́лъ, ча́до;
16 Dijo pues aquel hombre á Eli: Yo vengo de la batalla, yo he escapado hoy del combate. Y él dijo: ¿Qué ha acontecido, hijo mío?
16 The man said to Eli, “I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army.” He said, “How did the matter go, my son?”
17 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ ѻ҆́трочищь и҆ речѐ: побѣжа́ша мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃лєвы ѿ лица̀ и҆ноплеме́нникѡвъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́зва ве́лїѧ бы́сть въ лю́дехъ, и҆ ѻ҆́ба сы́ны твоѧ̑ ᲂу҆мро́ша, и҆ кївѡ́тъ бж҃їй взѧ́тъ є҆́сть.
17 Y el mensajero respondió, y dijo: Israel huyó delante de los Filisteos, y también fué hecha gran mortandad en el pueblo; y también tus dos hijos, Ophni y Phinees, son muertos, y el arca de Dios fué tomada.
17 He who brought the news answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and God’s ark has been captured.”
18 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ помѧнꙋ̀ ѡ҆ кївѡ́тѣ бж҃їи, и҆ падѐ (и҆лі́й) съ престо́ла взна́къ бли́з̾ две́рїй, и҆ сокрꙋши́сѧ хребе́тъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆́мре, ꙗ҆́кѡ ста́ръ бѣ̀ человѣ́къ и҆ тѧ́жекъ: и҆ то́й сꙋдѝ і҆и҃леви четы́редесѧть лѣ́тъ.
18 Y aconteció que como él hizo mención del arca de Dios, [Eli] cayó hacia atrás de la silla al lado de la puerta, y quebrósele la cerviz, y murió: porque era hombre viejo y pesado. Y había juzgado á Israel cuarenta años.
18 When he made mention of God’s ark, Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died, for he was an old man and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.
19 И҆ сноха̀ є҆гѡ̀ жена̀ фїнее́сова заче́ншаѧ роди́ти, и҆ слы́ша вѣ́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ взѧ́тъ бы́сть кївѡ́тъ бж҃їй и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́мре све́коръ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ мꙋ́жъ є҆ѧ̀, и҆ воспла́касѧ (го́рькѡ), и҆ родѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брати́шасѧ на ню̀ бѡлѣ́зни є҆ѧ̀.
19 Y su nuera, la mujer de Phinees, que estaba preñada, cercana al parto, oyendo el rumor que el arca de Dios era tomada, y muertos su suegro y su marido, encorvóse y parió; porque sus dolores se habían ya derramado por ella.
19 His daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to giving birth. When she heard the news that God’s ark was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her.
20 И҆ во вре́мѧ, внегда̀ ᲂу҆мира́ше, рѣ́ша є҆́й жєны̀ предстоѧ́щыѧ є҆́й: не бо́йсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сы́на родила̀ є҆сѝ. И҆ не ѿвѣща̀, и҆ не разꙋмѣ̀ се́рдце є҆ѧ̀.
20 Y al tiempo que se moría, decíanle las que estaban junto á ella: No tengas temor, porque has parido un hijo. Mas ella no respondió, ni paró mientes.
20 About the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you have given birth to a son.” But she didn’t answer, neither did she regard it.
21 И҆ наречѐ ѻ҆́трочища ᲂу҆ехавѡ́ѳъ: и҆ рѣ́ша ѡ҆ кївѡ́тѣ бж҃їи и҆ ѡ҆ све́крѣ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ ѡ҆ мꙋ́жи є҆ѧ̀: пресели́сѧ сла́ва ѿ і҆и҃лѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ взѧ́тсѧ кївѡ́тъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́мре све́коръ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ мꙋ́жъ є҆ѧ̀.
21 Y llamó al niño Ichâbod, diciendo: ¡Traspasada es la gloria de Israel! por el arca de Dios que fué tomada, y porque era muerto su suegro, y su marido.
21 She named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel!” because God’s ark was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
22 И҆ речѐ: пресели́сѧ сла́ва і҆и҃лева, ꙗ҆́кѡ взѧ́тъ бы́сть кївѡ́тъ бж҃їй.
22 Dijo pues: Traspasada es la gloria de Israel: porque el arca de Dios fué tomada.
22 She said, “The glory has departed from Israel; for God’s ark has been taken.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But doubtless he is commemorating the doing of that thing, when they were conquered by the Philistines in the time of Heli the priest, and the Ark of the Lord was taken, and with great slaughter they were laid low. This it is that he speaketh of.
