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 по дне́хъ седмѝ, и҆ ви́дѣхъ со́нъ но́щїю:
1 It came to pass after seven days, I dreamed a dream by night.
2 и҆ сѐ, ѿ мо́рѧ вѣ́тръ востава́ше, да возмꙋти́тъ всѧ̑ вѡ́лны є҆гѡ̀.
2 Behold, a wind arose from the sea that moved all its waves.
3 И҆ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сѐ, возмога́ше то́й человѣ́къ съ ты́сѧщьми небе́сными, и҆ а҆́може лицѐ своѐ ѡ҆браща́ше, да воззри́тъ, трепета́хꙋ всѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же под̾ ни́мъ ви́дѧхꙋсѧ,
3 I saw, and behold, [this wind caused to come up from the midst of the sea something like the appearance of a man. I saw, and behold,] that man flew with the clouds of heaven. When he turned his face to look, everything that he saw trembled.
4 и҆ а҆́може и҆схожда́ше гла́съ ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀, возжиза́хꙋсѧ всѝ, и҆̀же слы́шахꙋ гла́съ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́коже поко́итсѧ землѧ̀, є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ ѻ҆́гнь.
4 Whenever the voice went out of his mouth, all who heard his voice melted, like the wax melts when it feels the fire.
5 И҆ ви́дѣхъ по се́мъ, и҆ сѐ, собира́шесѧ мно́жество люді́й, и҆́хже не бѣ̀ числа̀, ѿ четы́рехъ вѣ̑тръ небе́сныхъ, да побѣдѧ́тъ человѣ́ка, и҆́же и҆зы́де ѿ мо́рѧ.
5 After this I saw, and behold, an innumerable multitude of people was gathered together from the four winds of heaven to make war against the man who came out of the sea.
6 И҆ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сѐ, са́мъ себѣ̀ и҆зваѧ̀ го́рꙋ вели́кꙋ и҆ возлетѣ̀ на ню̀:
6 I saw, and behold, he carved himself a great mountain, and flew up onto it.
7 а҆́зъ же и҆ска́хъ ви́дѣти странꙋ̀ и҆лѝ мѣ́сто, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ и҆зва́ѧна бы́сть гора̀, и҆ не мого́хъ.
7 I tried to see the region or place from which the mountain was carved, and I couldn’t.
8 И҆ по се́мъ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сѐ, всѝ, и҆̀же со́брани сꙋ́ть на него̀, да побо́рютъ є҆го̀, боѧ́хꙋсѧ ѕѣлѡ̀, ѻ҆ба́че дерза́хꙋ ра́товати.
8 After this I saw, and behold, all those who were gathered together to fight against him were very afraid, and yet they dared to fight.
9 И҆ сѐ, є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆ви́дѣ стремле́нїе мно́жества грѧдꙋ́щагѡ, не воздви́же рꙋкѝ своеѧ̀, ни ѻ҆рꙋ́жїѧ держа́ше и҆ никото́рагѡ ѻ҆рꙋ́дїѧ бра́ннагѡ, то́кмѡ ꙗ҆́коже ви́дѣхъ:
9 Behold, as he saw the assault of the multitude that came, he didn’t lift up his hand, or hold a spear or any weapon of war;
10 поне́же и҆спꙋстѝ и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ свои́хъ а҆́ки дохнове́нїе ѻ҆гнѧ̀, и҆ ѿ ᲂу҆сте́нъ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ дꙋ́хъ пла́мене, и҆ ѿ ѧ҆зы́ка своегѡ̀ и҆спꙋска́ше и҆́скры и҆ бꙋ̑ри, и҆ соединє́на сꙋ́ть всѧ̑ вкꙋ́пѣ сїѧ̑, дохнове́нїе ѻ҆гнѧ̀ и҆ дꙋ́хъ пла́мене и҆ мно́жество бꙋ́ри:
10 but I saw only how he sent out of his mouth something like a flood of fire, and out of his lips a flaming breath, and out of his tongue he shot out a storm of sparks.
11 и҆ нападѐ на мно́жество во ᲂу҆стремле́нїи, є҆́же ᲂу҆гото́вано бы́сть ѡ҆полча́тисѧ, и҆ пожжѐ всѣ́хъ (и҆ и҆скоренѝ), ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́бїе ничто́же ви́дѣно бѧ́ше ѿ безчи́сленна мно́жества, ра́звѣ то́кмѡ пра́хъ и҆ ды́ма вонѧ̀. И҆ ви́дѣхъ и҆ ᲂу҆страши́хсѧ.
11 These were all mixed together: the flood of fire, the flaming breath, and the great storm, and fell upon the assault of the multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned up every one of them, so that all of a sudden an innumerable multitude was seen to be nothing but the dust of ashes and the smell of smoke. When I saw this, I was amazed.
12 И҆ по си́хъ ви́дѣхъ того̀ человѣ́ка сходѧ́щаго съ горы̀ и҆ зовꙋ́ща къ себѣ̀ мно́жество и҆но́е ми́рное:
12 Afterward, I saw the same man come down from the mountain, and call to himself another multitude which was peaceful.
13 и҆ пристꙋпа́хꙋ къ немꙋ̀ ли́ца человѣ́кѡвъ мно́гихъ, нѣ́кїихъ ра́дꙋющихсѧ и҆ нѣ́кїихъ скорбѧ́щихъ, нѣ́цыи же привѧ́зани, нѣ́цыи приводѧ́ще ѿ тѣ́хъ, и҆̀же приноша́хꙋсѧ. И҆ и҆знемого́хъ ѿ мно́жества стра́ха, и҆ возбꙋди́хсѧ и҆ реко́хъ:
13 Many people came to him. Some of them were glad. Some were sorry. Some of them were bound, and some others brought some of those as offerings. Then through great fear I woke up and prayed to the Most High, and said,
14 ты̀ ѿ нача́ла показа́лъ є҆сѝ рабꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀ чꙋдеса̀ сїѧ̑, и҆ досто́йна мѧ̀ и҆мѣ́лъ є҆сѝ, да прїи́меши моли́твꙋ мою̀:
14 “You have shown your servant these wonders from the beginning, and have counted me worthy that you should receive my prayer.
15 и҆ нн҃ѣ покажѝ мнѣ̀ є҆щѐ толкова́нїе сна̀ сегѡ̀,
15 Now show me also the interpretation of this dream.
16 ꙗ҆́коже бо мню̀ въ чꙋ́вствѣ мое́мъ, го́ре и҆̀же ѡ҆ста́влени бꙋ́дꙋтъ во дни̑ ты̑ѧ, и҆ наипа́че го́ре си̑мъ, и҆̀же не сꙋ́ть ѡ҆ста́влени,
16 For as I conceive in my understanding, woe to those who will be left in those days! Much more woe to those who are not left!
17 и҆̀же бо не сꙋ́ть ѡ҆ста́влени, ско́рбни бѧ́хꙋ:
17 For those who were not left will be in heaviness,
18 разꙋмѣ́ю нн҃ѣ, ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть ѿложє́на на послѣ̑днїѧ дни̑, и҆ ᲂу҆срѧ́щꙋтъ и҆̀хъ, но и҆ тѣ́хъ, и҆̀же ѡ҆ста́влени сꙋ́ть:
18 understanding the things that are laid up in the latter days, but not attaining to them.
19 сегѡ́ бо ра́ди прїидо́ша въ бѣды̑ вели̑кїѧ и҆ въ нꙋ̑жды мнѡ́гїѧ, ꙗ҆́коже показꙋ́ютъ сѡ́нїѧ сїѧ̑:
19 But woe to them also who are left, because they will see great perils and much distress, like these dreams declare.
20 ѻ҆ба́че легча́е є҆́сть бѣ́дствꙋющемꙋ прїитѝ на сїѐ, не́же прейтѝ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆́блакꙋ ѿ вѣ́ка и҆ нн҃ѣ ви́дѣти, ꙗ҆̀же слꙋча́тсѧ въ послѣ̑днѧѧ времена̀. И҆ ѿвѣща̀ ко мнѣ̀ и҆ речѐ:
20 Yet is it better for one to be in peril and to come into these things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and not to see the things that will happen in the last days.” He answered me,
21 и҆ видѣ́нїѧ толкова́нїе рекꙋ̀ тебѣ̀, и҆ ѡ҆ ни́хже глаго́лалъ є҆сѝ, ѿве́рзꙋ тѝ.
21 “I will tell you the interpretation of the vision, and I will also open to you the things about which you mentioned.
22 Поне́же ѡ҆ си́хъ ре́клъ є҆сѝ, и҆̀же ѡ҆ста́влени сꙋ́ть, сїѐ є҆́сть толкова́нїе:
22 You have spoken of those who are left behind. This is the interpretation:
23 и҆́же ѿи́метъ бѣдꙋ̀ въ то̀ вре́мѧ, то́й сохрани́сѧ: и҆̀же въ бѣдꙋ̀ впадо́ша, сі́и сꙋ́ть, и҆̀же и҆мѣ́ютъ дѣла̀ и҆ вѣ́рꙋ къ крѣпча́йшемꙋ:
23 He that will endure the peril in that time will protect those who fall into danger, even those who have works and faith toward the Almighty.
24 вѣ́ждь ᲂу҆̀бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ бо́льши ᲂу҆блаже́ни сꙋ́ть и҆̀же ѡ҆ста́влени, па́че тѣ́хъ, и҆̀же ме́ртви сꙋ́ть.
24 Know therefore that those who are left behind are more blessed than those who are dead.
25 Сїѧ̑ толкѡва́нїѧ видѣ́нїю: ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ мꙋ́жа восходѧ́ща ѿ се́рдца морска́гѡ,
25 These are the interpretations of the vision: Whereas you saw a man coming up from the midst of the sea,
26 то́й є҆́сть, є҆го́же храни́тъ вы́шнїй мнѡ́га времена̀, и҆́же сами́мъ собо́ю и҆зба́витъ сотворе́нїе своѐ и҆ то́й разсмо́тритъ, и҆̀же ѡ҆ста́влени сꙋ́ть.
26 this is he whom the Most High has been keeping for many ages, who by his own self will deliver his creation. He will direct those who are left behind.
27 А҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆сходи́ти а҆́ки дꙋ́хъ и҆ ѻ҆́гнь и҆ бꙋ́рю,
27 Whereas you saw that out of his mouth came wind, fire, and storm,
28 и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ не держа́ше меча̀ и҆ ни ѻ҆рꙋ́дїѧ бра́ннагѡ, порази́ бо стремле́нїе є҆гѡ̀ мно́жество, є҆́же прїи́де ра́товати є҆го̀, сїѐ є҆́сть толкова́нїе:
28 and whereas he held neither spear, nor any weapon of war, but destroyed the assault of that multitude which came to fight against him, this is the interpretation:
29 сѐ, дні́е грѧдꙋ́тъ, є҆гда̀ начне́тъ вы́шнїй и҆збавлѧ́ти си́хъ, и҆̀же на землѝ сꙋ́ть,
29 Behold, the days come when the Most High will begin to deliver those who are on the earth.
30 и҆ прїи́детъ ᲂу҆́жасъ ᲂу҆ма̀ на тѣ́хъ, и҆̀же ѡ҆бита́ютъ на землѝ,
30 Astonishment of mind will come upon those who dwell on the earth.
31 и҆ и҆ні́и и҆ны́хъ помы́слѧтъ воева́ти, гра́дъ на гра́дъ и҆ мѣ́сто на мѣ́сто, и҆ ꙗ҆зы́къ на ꙗ҆зы́къ и҆ ца́рство на ца́рство:
31 One will plan to make war against another, city against city, place against place, people against people, and kingdom against kingdom.
32 и҆ бꙋ́детъ, є҆гда̀ бꙋ́дꙋтъ сїѧ̑, и҆ слꙋча́тсѧ зна́мєнїѧ, ꙗ҆̀же пре́жде показа́хъ тѝ, и҆ тогда̀ ѿкры́етсѧ сн҃ъ мо́й, є҆го́же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ ꙗ҆́кѡ мꙋ́жа восходѧ́ща:
32 It will be, when these things come to pass, and the signs happen which I showed you before, then my Son will be revealed, whom you saw as a man ascending.
33 и҆ бꙋ́детъ, є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́шатъ всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы гла́съ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆ста́витъ є҆ди́нъ кі́йждо во странѣ̀ свое́й бра́нь свою̀, ю҆́же и҆́мꙋтъ дрꙋ́гъ на дрꙋ́га,
33 It will be, when all the nations hear his voice, every man will leave his own land and the battle they have against one another.
34 и҆ собере́тсѧ во є҆ди́но собра́нїе мно́жество безчи́сленно, ꙗ҆́кѡ хотѧ́ще прїитѝ и҆ ѡ҆полчи́тисѧ на него̀:
34 An innumerable multitude will be gathered together, as you saw, desiring to come and to fight against him.
35 то́й же ста́нетъ на верхꙋ̀ горы̀ сїѡ́на:
35 But he will stand on the top of Mount Zion.
36 сїѡ́нъ же прїи́детъ и҆ ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ всѣ̑мъ ᲂу҆гото́ванъ и҆ созда́нъ, ꙗ҆́коже ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ го́рꙋ и҆зва́ѧнꙋ без̾ рꙋ́къ:
36 Zion will come, and will be shown to all men, being prepared and built, like you saw the mountain carved without hands.
37 то́й же сн҃ъ мо́й ѡ҆бличи́тъ, ꙗ҆̀же и҆з̾ѡбрѣто́ша ꙗ҆зы́цы, нечє́стїѧ и҆́хъ та̑, ꙗ҆̀же къ бꙋ́ри прибли́жишасѧ ра́ди лꙋка́выхъ помышле́нїй и҆́хъ и҆ мꙋче́нїй, и҆́миже начнꙋ́тъ мꙋ́читисѧ,
37 My Son will rebuke the nations which have come for their wickedness, with plagues that are like a storm,
38 ꙗ҆̀же подѡ́бна сꙋ́ть пла́мени: и҆ погꙋби́тъ и҆̀хъ без̾ трꙋ́дности, по зако́нꙋ, и҆́же ѻ҆гню̀ подо́бенъ є҆́сть.
38 and will rebuke them to their face with their evil thoughts, and the torments with which they will be tormented, which are like a flame. He will destroy them without labor by the law, which is like fire.
39 А҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ є҆го̀ собира́ющаго къ себѣ̀ и҆но́е мно́жество ми́рное:
39 Whereas you saw that he gathered to himself another multitude that was peaceful,
40 сі́и сꙋ́ть де́сѧть колѣ́нъ, и҆̀же плѣне́ни бы́ша ѿ землѝ своеѧ̀ во дни̑ ѡ҆сі́и царѧ̀, є҆го́же плѣнѝ салманаса́ръ ца́рь а҆ссѷрі́йскїй и҆ преведѐ и҆̀хъ за рѣкꙋ̀, и҆ преведе́ни сꙋ́ть въ зе́млю и҆нꙋ́ю,
40 these are the ten tribes which were led away out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmananser the king of the Assyrians led away captive, and he carried them beyond the River, and they were taken into another land.
41 ті́и же себѣ̀ да́ша совѣ́тъ то́й, да ѡ҆ста́вѧтъ мно́жество ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ, и҆ дабы̀ прошлѝ въ да́льнꙋю странꙋ̀, и҆дѣ́же никогда̀ ѡ҆бита́ше ро́дъ человѣ́ческїй,
41 But they made this plan among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go out into a more distant region, where mankind had never lived,
42 и҆лѝ та́мѡ храни́ти закѡ́ннаѧ своѧ̑, и҆́хже не хранѧ́хꙋ во странѣ̀ свое́й:
42 that there they might keep their statutes which they had not kept in their own land.
43 вхо́дами же тѣ́сными рѣкѝ є҆ѵфра́та внидо́ша:
43 They entered by the narrow passages of the river Euphrates.
44 сотвори́лъ бо и҆̀мъ тогда̀ вы́шнїй зна́мєнїѧ и҆ ᲂу҆ста́вилъ жи̑лы рѣчны̑ѧ, до́ндеже про́йдꙋтъ:
44 For the Most High then did signs for them, and stopped the springs of the River until they had passed over.
45 ѻ҆́ною бо страно́ю бѧ́ше пꙋ́ть мно́гъ, пꙋ́тьствовати лѣ́то є҆ди́но и҆ по́лъ, и҆́бо страна̀ та̀ зове́тсѧ а҆рсаре́ѳъ:
45 For through that country there was a long way to go, namely, of a year and a half. The same region is called Arzareth.
46 тогда̀ ѡ҆бита́ша та́мѡ да́же до послѣ́днѧгѡ вре́мене: и҆ нн҃ѣ па́ки є҆гда̀ начнꙋ́тъ приходи́ти,
46 Then they lived there until the latter time. Now when they begin to come again,
47 па́ки вы́шнїй ᲂу҆ста́витъ жи̑лы рѣчны̑ѧ, да возмо́гꙋтъ пройтѝ: си́хъ ра́ди ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ мно́жество съ ми́ромъ:
47 the Most High stops the springs of the River again, that they may go through. Therefore you saw the multitude gathered together with peace.
48 но и҆ и҆̀же ѡ҆ста́влени сꙋ́ть ѿ люді́й твои́хъ, сі́и сꙋ́ть, и҆̀же ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтсѧ внꙋ́трь предѣ̑лъ мои́хъ:
48 But those who are left behind of your people are those who are found within my holy border.
49 бꙋ́детъ ᲂу҆̀бо, є҆гда̀ начне́тъ погꙋблѧ́ти мно́жество тѣ́хъ, и҆̀же со́брани сꙋ́ть ꙗ҆зы́цы, защи́титъ и҆̀хъ, и҆̀же премого́ша люді́й,
49 It will be therefore when he will destroy the multitude of the nations that are gathered together, he will defend the people who remain.
50 и҆ тогда̀ пока́жетъ и҆̀мъ ве́лїе мно́жество чꙋде́съ.
50 Then he will show them very many wonders.”
51 И҆ реко́хъ а҆́зъ: влⷣко гдⷭ҇и, сїе́ ми покажѝ, чесѡ̀ ра́ди ви́дѣхъ мꙋ́жа восходѧ́ща ѿ се́рдца морска́гѡ; И҆ речѐ мнѣ̀:
51 Then I said, “O sovereign Lord, explain this to me: Why have I seen the man coming up from the midst of the sea?”
52 ꙗ҆́коже не мо́жеши сїѧ̑ и҆спыта́ти, и҆лѝ зна́ти, ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть во глꙋбинѣ̀ морстѣ́й, та́кѡ не мо́жетъ кі́йждо ви́дѣти на землѝ сн҃а моего̀, и҆лѝ тѣ́хъ, и҆̀же съ ни́мъ сꙋ́ть, то́кмѡ во вре́мѧ днѐ.
52 He said to me, as no one can explore or know what is in the depths of the sea, even so no man on earth can see my Son, or those who are with him, except in the time of his day.
53 Сїѐ є҆́сть толкова́нїе со́нїѧ, є҆́же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ и҆ є҆гѡ́же ра́ди просвѣще́нъ є҆сѝ здѣ̀ є҆ди́нъ:
53 This is the interpretation of the dream which you saw, and for this only you are enlightened about this,
54 ѡ҆ста́вилъ бо є҆сѝ тво́й и҆ ѡ҆́крестъ моегѡ̀ ᲂу҆пражднѧ́лсѧ є҆сѝ зако́на и҆ и҆ска́лъ є҆сѝ:
54 for you have forsaken your own ways, and applied your diligence to mine, and have searched out my law.
55 житїе́ бо твоѐ ᲂу҆стро́илъ є҆сѝ въ премꙋ́дрости и҆ чꙋ́вство твоѐ назва́лъ є҆сѝ ма́терїю:
55 You have ordered your life in wisdom, and have called understanding your mother.
56 и҆ тогѡ̀ ра́ди показа́хъ тебѣ̀ мзды̑ ᲂу҆ вы́шнѧгѡ: бꙋ́детъ бо по и҆нѣ́хъ трїе́хъ дне́хъ, и҆на̑ѧ къ тебѣ̀ возгл҃ю и҆ и҆з̾ѧвлю̀ тебѣ̀ тѧ̑жкаѧ и҆ ди̑внаѧ.
56 Therefore I have shown you this, for there is a reward laid up with the Most High. It will be, after another three days I will speak other things to you, and declare to you mighty and wondrous things.”
57 И҆ и҆до́хъ и҆ прїидо́хъ на по́ле, мно́гѡ сла́вѧ и҆ хвалѧ̀ вы́шнѧго ѡ҆ ди́вныхъ, ꙗ҆̀же по вре́мени творѧ́ше,
57 Then I went out and passed into the field, giving praise and thanks greatly to the Most High because of his wonders, which he did from time to time,
58 и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆правлѧ́етъ сїѐ, и҆ ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть во временѣ́хъ сотворє́на: и҆ сѣдо́хъ тꙋ̀ трѝ дни̑.
58 and because he governs the time, and such things as happen in their seasons. So I sat there three days.
