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 И҆ бы́сть і҆ѡсафа́тꙋ бога́тство и҆ сла́ва мно́га, и҆ поѧ́тъ женꙋ̀ въ домꙋ̀ а҆хаа́вли.
1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab.
2 И҆ сни́де при концы̀ лѣ́тъ ко а҆хаа́вꙋ въ самарі́ю: и҆ закла̀ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆хаа́въ ѻ҆вны̀ и҆ волы̀ мнѡ́ги, и҆ лю́демъ сꙋ́щымъ съ ни́мъ, и҆ ᲂу҆вѣщава́ше є҆го̀, да сни́детъ съ ни́мъ въ рамѡ́ѳъ галаа́дскїй.
2 After some years, he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.
3 И҆ речѐ а҆хаа́въ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ ко і҆ѡсафа́тꙋ царю̀ і҆ꙋ́динꙋ: по́йдеши ли со мно́ю въ рамѡ́ѳъ галаа́дскїй; И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: ꙗ҆́коже а҆́зъ, та́кѡ и҆ ты̀: и҆ ꙗ҆́коже лю́дїе твоѝ, та́кѡ и҆ лю́дїе моѝ съ тобо́ю на бра́нь.
3 Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” He answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war.”
4 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡсафа́тъ царю̀ і҆и҃левꙋ: вопросѝ ᲂу҆̀бо дне́сь гдⷭ҇а.
4 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for Yahweh’s word.”
5 И҆ собра̀ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ проро́кѡвъ четы́реста мꙋже́й и҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: пойдꙋ́ ли въ рамѡ́ѳъ галаа́дскїй на бра́нь, и҆лѝ ᲂу҆держꙋ́сѧ; И҆ рѣ́ша: взы́ди, и҆ преда́стъ бг҃ъ въ рꙋ́кꙋ царе́вꙋ.
5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” They said, “Go up, for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
6 Рече́ же і҆ѡсафа́тъ: нѣ́сть ли здѣ̀ прⷪ҇ро́ка гдⷭ҇нѧ є҆щѐ, да ѿ негѡ̀ вопро́симъ;
6 But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of Yahweh besides, that we may inquire of him?”
7 И҆ речѐ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ ко і҆ѡсафа́тꙋ: є҆́сть є҆щѐ мꙋ́жъ є҆ди́нъ, и҆́мже вопроси́ти гдⷭ҇а, но а҆́зъ ненави́ждꙋ є҆го̀, поне́же не прорица́етъ мнѣ̀ во блага̑ѧ, занѐ всѝ дні́е є҆гѡ̀ во ѕла̑ѧ: се́й мїхе́а сы́нъ і҆емвли́нъ. Рече́ же і҆ѡсафа́тъ: не глаго́ли, царю̀ та́кѡ.
7 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
8 И҆ призва̀ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ є҆ди́наго ѿ є҆ѵнꙋ̑хъ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: (призовѝ) ско́рѡ мїхе́ю сы́на і҆емвли́на.
8 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly.”
9 Ца́рь же і҆и҃левъ и҆ і҆ѡсафа́тъ ца́рь і҆ꙋ́динъ кі́йждо сѣдѧ́ше на престо́лѣ свое́мъ, и҆ ѡ҆блечє́на красото́ю ца́рскою, сѣдѧ́ста же на простра́нствѣ бли́з̾ вра́тъ самарі́йскихъ, и҆ всѝ проро́цы проро́чествовахꙋ пред̾ ни́ма.
9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah each sat on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10 И҆ сотворѝ себѣ̀ седекі́а сы́нъ ханаа́нь ро́ги желѣ̑зны и҆ речѐ: сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: си́ми и҆збоде́ши сѷрі́ю, до́ндеже сконча́етсѧ.
10 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “Yahweh says, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
11 И҆ всѝ проро́цы прорица́хꙋ та́кѡ, глаго́люще: взы́ди въ рамѡ́ѳъ галаа́дскїй и҆ пред̾ꙋспѣ́еши, и҆ преда́стъ гдⷭ҇ь въ рꙋ́кꙋ царе́вꙋ.
11 All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
12 Вѣ́стникъ же, ше́дый призва́ти мїхе́ю, речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: сѐ, реко́ша проро́цы є҆ди́нѣми ᲂу҆сты̑ блага̑ѧ ѡ҆ царѝ да бꙋ́дꙋтъ ᲂу҆̀бо и҆ твоѧ̑ словеса̀, ꙗ҆́коже є҆ди́нагѡ ѿ ни́хъ, и҆ да рече́ши блага̑ѧ.
12 The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good.”
13 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ мїхе́а: жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆́же а҆́ще рече́тъ бг҃ъ ко мнѣ̀, сїѐ возглаго́лю.
13 Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, I will say what my God says.”
14 И҆ прїи́де ко царю̀, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ца́рь: мїхе́е, и҆́мамъ ли и҆тѝ рамѡ́ѳъ галаа́дскїй на бра́нь, и҆лѝ ᲂу҆держꙋ́сѧ; И҆ ѿвѣща̀: взы́ди и҆ пред̾ꙋспѣ́еши, и҆ предадꙋ́тсѧ (вразѝ) въ рꙋ́ки ва́шѧ.
14 When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” He said, “Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand.”
15 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ца́рь: коли́кѡ кра́тъ заклина́ю тѧ̀, да не глаго́леши мнѣ̀, то́кмѡ и҆́стинꙋ во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не.
15 The king said to him, “How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in Yahweh’s name?”
16 И҆ речѐ мїхе́а: ви́дѣхъ всего̀ і҆и҃лѧ расточе́на по гора́мъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́вцы, и҆̀мже нѣ́сть па́стырѧ: и҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: не и҆́мꙋтъ сі́и вожда̀, да возвратѧ́тсѧ кі́йждо въ до́мъ сво́й въ ми́рѣ.
16 He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. Yahweh said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
17 И҆ речѐ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ ко і҆ѡсафа́тꙋ: не рѣ́хъ ли тебѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не прорица́етъ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ блага̑ѧ, но то́кмѡ ѕла̑ѧ;
17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
18 И҆ речѐ мїхе́а: не та́кѡ: слы́шите сло́во гдⷭ҇не: ви́дѣхъ гдⷭ҇а сѣдѧ́ща на прⷭ҇то́лѣ свое́мъ, и҆ всѧ̀ си́ла нбⷭ҇наѧ предстоѧ́ше ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ѡ҆шꙋ́юю є҆гѡ̀:
18 Micaiah said, “Therefore hear Yahweh’s word: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
19 и҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: кто̀ прельсти́тъ а҆хаа́ва царѧ̀ і҆и҃лева, да взы́детъ и҆ паде́тъ въ рамѡ́ѳѣ галаа́дстѣмъ; и҆ глаго́лаше є҆ди́нъ та́кѡ, и҆ и҆́нъ речѐ та́кѡ:
19 Yahweh said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way.
20 и҆ и҆зы́де дꙋ́хъ, и҆ ста̀ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆ речѐ: а҆́зъ прельщꙋ̀ є҆го̀: є҆мꙋ́же гдⷭ҇ь, въ че́мъ, речѐ, (прельсти́ши);
20 A spirit came out, stood before Yahweh, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ “Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’
21 и҆ речѐ: и҆зы́дꙋ и҆ бꙋ́дꙋ дꙋ́хъ лжи́въ во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ всѣ́хъ проро́кѡвъ є҆гѡ̀: рече́ же (гдⷭ҇ь): прельсти́ши и҆ превозмо́жеши, и҆зы́ди и҆ сотворѝ та́кѡ:
21 “He said, ‘I will go, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ “He said, ‘You will entice him, and will prevail also. Go and do so.’
22 и҆ нн҃ѣ сѐ, гдⷭ҇ь дадѐ дꙋ́ха лжи́ва во ᲂу҆ста̀ всѣ̑мъ проро́кѡмъ твои̑мъ си̑мъ, и҆ гдⷭ҇ь гл҃а ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ ѕла̑ѧ.
22 “Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.”
23 И҆ пристꙋпѝ седекі́а сы́нъ ханаа́нь, и҆ ᲂу҆да́ри мїхе́ю въ лани́тꙋ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: ко́имъ пꙋте́мъ про́йде дх҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень ѿ менє̀, є҆́же глаго́лати къ тебѣ̀;
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did Yahweh’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”
24 Рече́ же мїхе́а: сѐ, ᲂу҆́зриши въ де́нь то́й, є҆гда̀ вни́деши въ ло́жницꙋ и҆з̾ ло́жницы, да ᲂу҆кры́ешисѧ.
24 Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
25 И҆ речѐ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ: возми́те мїхе́ю, и҆ ѿведи́те ко є҆мми́рꙋ нача́льникꙋ гра́да и҆ ко і҆ѡа́сꙋ кнѧ́зю сы́нꙋ царе́вꙋ,
25 The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;
26 и҆ рцы́те: сїѧ̑ глаго́летъ ца́рь: вве́рзите сего̀ въ темни́цꙋ, и҆ да ꙗ҆́стъ хлѣ́бъ печа́ли и҆ во́дꙋ печа́ли, до́ндеже возвращꙋ́сѧ въ ми́рѣ.
26 and say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.”’”
27 Рече́ же мїхе́а: а҆́ще возвраща́ѧсѧ возврати́шисѧ въ ми́рѣ, не гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь мно́ю. И҆ речѐ: слы́шите, всѝ лю́дїе.
27 Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, you people, all of you!”
28 И҆ взы́де ца́рь і҆и҃левъ и҆ і҆ѡсафа́тъ ца́рь і҆ꙋ́динъ въ рамѡ́ѳъ галаа́дскїй.
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
29 Рече́ же ца́рь і҆и҃левъ ко і҆ѡсафа́тꙋ: прикры́юсѧ и҆ вни́дꙋ во бра́нь, ты́ же ѡ҆блецы́сѧ въ ри̑зы моѧ̑. И҆ прикры́сѧ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ и҆ вни́де во бра́нь.
29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.
30 Ца́рь же сѵ́рскїй повелѣ̀ вождє́мъ колесни́цъ свои́хъ, глаго́лѧ: не ᲂу҆стремлѧ́йтесѧ на ма́ла и҆ на вели́ка, но то́кмѡ на самаго̀ царѧ̀ і҆и҃лева.
30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.”
31 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆ви́дѣша нача̑льницы колесни́цъ і҆ѡсафа́та, глаго́лаша: ца́рь і҆и҃левъ є҆́сть се́й. И҆ ѡ҆быдо́ша є҆го̀ вою́юще. І҆ѡсафа́тъ же возопѝ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, и҆ гдⷭ҇ь послꙋ́ша є҆го̀, и҆ ѿвратѝ и҆̀хъ бг҃ъ ѿ негѡ̀.
31 When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “It is the king of Israel!” Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
32 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆ви́дѣша воевѡ́ды колесни́цъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не бѧ́ше ца́рь і҆и҃левъ, ѡ҆ста́виша є҆го̀.
32 When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
33 И҆ мꙋ́жъ налѧчѐ лꙋ́къ примѣ́тнѡ и҆ поразѝ царѧ̀ і҆и҃лева междꙋ̀ ле́гкимъ и҆ пе́рсѧми. И҆ речѐ воза́таю своемꙋ̀: ѡ҆братѝ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ и҆ и҆зведѝ мѧ̀ ѿ бра́ни ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆знемого́хъ.
33 A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely wounded.”
34 И҆ сконча́на бы́сть бра́нь въ де́нь то́й, и҆ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ бѣ̀ стоѧ̀ на колесни́цѣ свое́й проти́вꙋ сѷрі́ѡмъ да́же до ве́чера, и҆ ᲂу҆́мре заходѧ́щꙋ со́лнцꙋ.
34 The battle increased that day. However, the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening; and at about sunset, he died.
