Notes on this text (3)
- 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.
- 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.

1 А҆за́рїа же сы́нъ а҆да́довъ, бы́сть на не́мъ дх҃ъ бж҃їй:
1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded.
2 и҆ и҆зы́де во срѣ́тенїе а҆́сѣ и҆ всемꙋ̀ і҆ꙋ́дѣ и҆ венїамі́нꙋ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: ᲂу҆слы́шите мѧ̀, а҆́са и҆ ве́сь і҆ꙋ́да и҆ венїамі́нъ: гдⷭ҇ь съ ва́ми, ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́сте съ ни́мъ: и҆ а҆́ще взы́щете є҆гѡ̀, ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ ва́мъ, а҆́ще же ѡ҆ста́вите є҆го̀, ѡ҆ста́витъ ва́съ:
2 He went out to meet Asa, and said to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 мно́зи дні́е (бꙋ́дꙋтъ) во і҆и҃ли без̾ бг҃а и҆́стиннагѡ и҆ без̾ свѧще́нника ᲂу҆ча́щагѡ и҆ без̾ зако́на:
3 Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law.
4 є҆гда́ же ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ въ печа́ли ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ и҆ взы́щꙋтъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ и҆̀мъ:
4 But when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
5 и҆ во вре́мѧ ѻ҆́но не бꙋ́детъ ми́ръ и҆сходѧ́щемꙋ и҆ входѧ́щемꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́жасъ гдⷭ҇ень на всѣ́хъ ѡ҆бита́ющихъ на землѝ
5 In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands.
6 и҆ ѡ҆полчи́тсѧ ꙗ҆зы́къ на ꙗ҆зы́къ и҆ гра́дъ проти́вꙋ гра́да, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь смꙋти́тъ и҆̀хъ во всѧ́цѣй печа́ли:
6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
7 и҆ вы̀ ᲂу҆крѣпи́тесѧ, и҆ да не ѡ҆слабѣ́ютъ рꙋ́ки ва́шѧ, є҆́сть бо мзда̀ дѣ́лꙋ ва́шемꙋ.
7 But you be strong! Don’t let your hands be slack, for your work will be rewarded.”
8 И҆ є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́ша а҆́са словеса̀ сїѧ̑ и҆ прⷪ҇ро́чество а҆за́рїи прⷪ҇ро́ка, ᲂу҆крѣпи́сѧ и҆ ѿѧ̀ всѧ̑ і҆́дѡлы ѿ всеѧ̀ землѝ і҆ꙋ́дины и҆ венїамі́ни и҆ ѿ градѡ́въ, и҆̀хже содержа́ше і҆еровоа́мъ въ горѣ̀ є҆фре́мли, и҆ ѡ҆свѧтѝ ѻ҆лта́рь гдⷭ҇ень, и҆́же бѣ̀ пред̾ хра́момъ гдⷭ҇нимъ:
8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed Yahweh’s altar that was before Yahweh’s porch.
9 собра́ же (всего̀) і҆ꙋ́дꙋ и҆ венїамі́на и҆ прише́льцєвъ ѡ҆бита́ющихъ съ ни́мъ ѿ є҆фре́ма и҆ ѿ манассі́и и҆ ѿ сѷмеѡ́на, мно́зи бо къ немꙋ̀ прибѣго́ша ѿ і҆и҃лѧ, є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆ви́дѣша, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ є҆гѡ̀ съ ни́мъ.
9 He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon; for they came to him out of Israel in abundance when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him.
10 И҆ собра́шасѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ въ мцⷭ҇ъ тре́тїй, въ лѣ́то пѧтоена́десѧть ца́рства а҆́сы,
10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11 и҆ пожро́ша гдⷭ҇ꙋ въ де́нь то́й ѿ коры́стей, и҆̀хже приведо́ша, волѡ́въ се́дмь сѡ́тъ и҆ ѻ҆ве́цъ се́дмь ты́сѧщъ,
11 They sacrificed to Yahweh in that day, from the plunder which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.
12 и҆ поидо́ша въ завѣ́тѣ, є҆́же и҆ска́ти гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ всѣ́мъ се́рдцемъ и҆ все́ю дꙋше́ю свое́ю:
12 They entered into the covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 и҆ (речѐ): всѧ́къ, и҆́же а҆́ще не взы́щетъ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а і҆и҃лева, да ᲂу҆́мретъ ѿ ю҆́нагѡ да́же до старѣ́йшагѡ, ѿ мꙋ́жа да́же до жены̀.
13 and that whoever would not seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 И҆ клѧ́шасѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ гла́сомъ вели́кимъ въ восклица́нїи и҆ въ трꙋба́хъ и҆ въ ро́жаныхъ.
14 They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 И҆ возра́довасѧ ве́сь і҆ꙋ́да ѡ҆ клѧ́твѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ всеѧ̀ дꙋшѝ клѧ́шасѧ, и҆ все́ю во́лею взыска́ша є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ и҆̀мъ, и҆ дадѐ и҆̀мъ гдⷭ҇ь поко́й ѡ҆́крестъ.
15 All Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found by them. Then Yahweh gave them rest all around.
16 И҆ маа́хꙋ ма́терь свою̀ ѿлꙋчѝ, да не слꙋ́житъ а҆ста́ртꙋ, и҆ сокрꙋшѝ і҆́дѡла и҆ сожжѐ въ пото́цѣ ке́дрстѣмъ.
16 Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen mother, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; so Asa cut down her image, ground it into dust, and burned it at the brook Kidron.
17 То́кмѡ высо́кихъ не ѿста́ви, є҆ще́ бо бѧ́хꙋ во і҆и҃ли, но се́рдце а҆́сы бѣ̀ соверше́нно во всѣ́хъ дне́хъ є҆гѡ̀:
17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 и҆ внесѐ ст҃а̑ѧ даві́да ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀ и҆ ст҃а̑ѧ своѧ̑ въ до́мъ бж҃їй, сребро̀ и҆ зла́то и҆ сосꙋ́ды.
18 He brought the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated, silver, gold, and vessels into God’s house.
19 И҆ бра́нь не бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ да́же до три́десѧть пѧ́тагѡ лѣ́та ца́рства а҆́сина.
19 There was no more war to the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.

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).
… and David says distinctly, The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and in the Psalms, And take not thy Holy Spirit from me, and again, Thy good Spirit shall lead me in the land of righteousness. And as we have it in Chronicles, Azariah, in the time of King Asa, and Jahaziel in the time of King Jehoshaphat, …
