2 Esdras (4 Ezra) 15 Church Slavonic Bible (Elizabeth Bible)
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 Сѐ, глаго́ли во ᲂу҆́шы лю́демъ мои̑мъ словеса̀ прⷪ҇ро́чества, ꙗ҆̀же да́мъ во ᲂу҆ста̀ твоѧ̑, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь:
1 “Behold, speak in the ears of my people the words of prophecy which I will put in your mouth,” says the Lord.
2 и҆ сотворѝ, да на хартїѝ напи́шꙋтсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ̑рна и҆ и҆́стинна сꙋ́ть:
2 “Cause them to be written on paper, for they are faithful and true.
3 не бо́йсѧ ѿ помышле́нїй на тѧ̀, нижѐ да смꙋтѧ́тъ тѧ̀ невѣ́рнѡсти глаго́лющихъ,
3 Don’t be afraid of their plots against you. Don’t let the unbelief of those who speak against you trouble you.
4 поне́же всѧ́къ невѣ́рный въ невѣ́рїи свое́мъ ᲂу҆́мретъ.
4 For all the unbelievers will die in their unbelief.
5 Сѐ, а҆́зъ наведꙋ̀ (речѐ гдⷭ҇ь) на крꙋ́гъ земны́й ѕла̑ѧ, ме́чь и҆ гла́дъ, и҆ сме́рть и҆ погꙋбле́нїе,
5 “Behold,” says the Lord, “I bring evils on the whole earth: sword, famine, death, and destruction.
6 поне́же ѡ҆сквернѝ беззако́нїе всю̀ зе́млю, и҆ напо́лнєна сꙋ́ть дѣла̀ и҆́хъ врє́днаѧ.
6 For wickedness has prevailed over every land, and their hurtful works have reached their limit.
7 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди речѐ гдⷭ҇ь:
7 Therefore,” says the Lord,
8 ᲂу҆жѐ не ᲂу҆молчꙋ̀ ѡ҆ нече́стїихъ и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же беззако́ннѡ содѣ́ловаютъ, ни потерплю̀ и҆̀мъ, ꙗ҆̀же ѕлѣ̀ творѧ́тъ: сѐ, кро́вь непови́ннаѧ и҆ пра́веднаѧ вопїе́тъ ко мнѣ̀, и҆ дꙋ́ши првⷣныхъ вопїю́тъ безпреста́ннѡ:
8 “I will hold my peace no more concerning their wickedness which they profanely commit, neither will I tolerate them in these things, which they wickedly practice. Behold, the innocent and righteous blood cries to me, and the souls of the righteous cry out continually.
9 ѿмща́ѧ ѿмщꙋ̀ и҆̀мъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ воспрїимꙋ̀ всѧ́кꙋ кро́вь непови́ннꙋю ѿ тѣ́хъ ко мнѣ̀.
9 I will surely avenge them,” says the Lord, “and will receive to me all the innocent blood from among them.
10 Сѐ, лю́дїе моѝ ꙗ҆́кѡ стада̀ къ заколе́нїю ведꙋ́тсѧ, ᲂу҆жѐ не потерплю̀ тогѡ̀, є҆́же ѡ҆бита́ти и҆̀мъ въ землѝ є҆гѵ́петстѣй,
10 Behold, my people are led like a flock to the slaughter. I will not allow them now to dwell in the land of Egypt,
11 но и҆зведꙋ̀ ѧ҆̀ рꙋко́ю си́льною и҆ мы́шцею высо́кою, и҆ поражꙋ̀ (є҆гѵ́петъ) ка́знїю ꙗ҆́коже пре́жде, и҆ растлю̀ всю̀ зе́млю є҆гѡ̀:
11 but I will bring them out with a mighty hand and with a high arm, and will strike Egypt with plagues, as before, and will destroy all its land.”
12 воспла́четсѧ є҆гѵ́петъ, и҆ ѡ҆снова̑нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ ка́знїю и҆збїє́на бꙋ́дꙋтъ и҆ наказа́нїемъ, ꙗ҆̀же наведе́тъ є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ:
12 Let Egypt and its foundations mourn, for the plague of the chastisement and the punishment that God will bring upon it.
13 воспла́чꙋтъ дѣ́лателє дѣ́лающїи зе́млю, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ютъ сѣ́мена и҆́хъ ѿ ржѝ и҆ гра́да и҆ ѿ ѕвѣзды̀ стра́шныѧ.
13 Let the farmers that till the ground mourn, for their seeds will fail and their trees will be ruined through the blight and hail, and a terrible tempest.
14 Го́ре вѣ́кꙋ, и҆ и҆̀же ѡ҆бита́ютъ въ не́мъ:
14 Woe to the world and those who dwell in it!
15 поне́же прибли́жисѧ ме́чь и҆ сокрꙋше́нїе и҆́хъ, и҆ воста́нетъ ꙗ҆зы́къ на ꙗ҆зы́къ къ бра́ни, и҆ ме́чь въ рꙋка́хъ и҆́хъ.
15 For the sword and their destruction draws near, and nation will rise up against nation to battle with weapons in their hands.
16 Бꙋ́детъ бо непостоѧ́нїе человѣ́кѡмъ, и҆ и҆ні́и и҆ны́хъ ѡ҆долѣва́ющїи вознерадѧ́тъ ѡ҆ царѝ свое́мъ, и҆ нача̑льницы пꙋті́й ѡ҆ дѣ́лѣхъ свои́хъ въ могꙋ́тствѣ свое́мъ.
16 For there will be sedition among men, and growing strong against one another. In their might, they won’t respect their king or the chief of their great ones.
17 Восхо́щетъ бо человѣ́къ во гра́дъ и҆тѝ и҆ не возмо́жетъ:
17 For a man will desire to go into a city, and will not be able.
18 горды́ни бо и҆́хъ ра́ди гра́ди смѧтꙋ́тсѧ, до́мы сокрꙋша́тсѧ, человѣ́цы ᲂу҆боѧ́тсѧ.
18 For because of their pride the cities will be troubled, the houses will be destroyed, and men will be afraid.
19 Не ᲂу҆милосе́рдитсѧ человѣ́къ ко и҆́скреннемꙋ своемꙋ̀, на разоре́нїе домѡ́въ и҆́хъ во ѻ҆рꙋ́жїе, на расхище́нїе и҆мѣ́нїй и҆́хъ, гла́да ра́ди хлѣ́бнагѡ и҆ ѡ҆скобле́нїѧ мно́га.
19 A man will have no pity on his neighbors, but will assault their houses with the sword and plunder their goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great suffering.
20 Сѐ, а҆́зъ созыва́ю, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, всѧ̑ цари̑ зє́мскїѧ, є҆́же менє̀ боѧ́тисѧ, и҆̀же сꙋ́ть ѿ восто́ка и҆ ю҆́га, ѿ сѣ́вера и҆ лїва́на, ко ѡ҆браще́нїю къ себѣ̀, и҆ возда́ти, ꙗ҆̀же возда́ша тѣ̑мъ:
20 “Behold,” says God, “I call together all the kings of the earth to stir up those who are from the rising of the sun, from the south, from the east, and Libanus, to turn themselves one against another, and repay the things that they have done to them.
21 ꙗ҆́коже творѧ́тъ да́же до дне́сь и҆збра̑ннымъ мои̑мъ, та́кѡ сотворю̀ и҆ возда́мъ въ нѣ̑дра и҆́хъ. Сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ:
21 Just as they do yet this day to my chosen, so I will do also, and repay into their bosom.” The Lord God says:
22 не пощади́тъ десни́ца моѧ̀ грѣ́шникѡвъ, и҆ не преста́нетъ ме́чь на пролива́ющихъ кро́вь непови́ннꙋю на землѝ:
22 “My right hand won’t spare the sinners, and my sword won’t cease over those who shed innocent blood on the earth.
23 и҆зы́де ѻ҆́гнь ѿ гнѣ́ва є҆гѡ̀, и҆ пожрѐ ѡ҆снова̑нїѧ землѝ, и҆ грѣ́шники ꙗ҆́кѡ хвра́стїе зажже́но.
23 A fire has gone out from his wrath and has consumed the foundations of the earth and the sinners, like burnt straw.
24 Го́ре си̑мъ, и҆̀же согрѣша́ютъ и҆ не содержа́тъ за́повѣдїй мои́хъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь,
24 Woe to those who sin and don’t keep my commandments!” says the Lord.
25 не прошꙋ̀ и҆̀мъ: ѿиди́те, сы́нове, ѿ вла́сти, не ѡ҆сквернѧ́йте ст҃ы́ни моеѧ̀.
25 “I will not spare them. Go your way, you rebellious children! Don’t defile my sanctuary!”
26 Ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ́сть гдⷭ҇ь всѣ́хъ, и҆̀же согрѣша́ютъ є҆мꙋ̀, сегѡ̀ ра́ди предадѐ и҆̀хъ въ сме́рть и҆ въ заколе́нїе.
26 For the Lord knows all those who trespass against him, therefore he will deliver them to death and destruction.
27 Оу҆же́ бо прїидо́ша на крꙋ́гъ земны́й ѕла̑ѧ, и҆ пребꙋ́дете въ ни́хъ, не и҆зба́витъ бо ва́съ бг҃ъ, поне́же согрѣши́сте пред̾ ни́мъ.
27 For now evils have come upon the whole earth, and you will remain in them; for God will not deliver you, because you have sinned against him.
28 Сѐ, видѣ́нїе гро́зное, и҆ лицѐ є҆гѡ̀ ѿ восто́ка:
28 Behold, a horrible sight appearing from the east!
29 и҆ и҆зы́дꙋтъ рождє́нїѧ ѕмїє́въ а҆ра́вскихъ на колесни́цахъ мно́гихъ: ꙗ҆́коже дыха́нїе (вѣ́трѡвъ) число̀ и҆́хъ понесе́тсѧ по землѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆жѐ ᲂу҆боѧ́тсѧ и҆ вострепе́щꙋтъ всѝ, и҆̀же и҆́хъ ᲂу҆слы́шатъ:
29 The nations of the dragons of Arabia will come out with many chariots. From the day that they set out, their hissing is carried over the earth, so that all those who will hear them may also fear and tremble.
30 кармѡ́нѧне неи́стовствꙋющїи во гнѣ́вѣ и҆зы́дꙋтъ ꙗ҆́кѡ вє́при ѿ дꙋбра́вы и҆ прїи́дꙋтъ въ си́лѣ вели́цѣй, и҆ ста́нꙋтъ на бра́нь съ ни́ми и҆ ѡ҆пꙋстоша́тъ ча́сть землѝ а҆ссѷрі́йскїѧ:
30 Also the Carmonians, raging in wrath, will go out like the wild boars of the forest. They will come with great power and join battle with them, and will devastate a portion of the land of the Assyrians with their teeth.
31 и҆ по си́хъ превозмо́гꙋтъ ѕмі́еве по́мнѧщїи рожде́нїе своѐ и҆ ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ согласꙋ́юще въ си́лѣ вели́цѣй на постиза́нїе и҆́хъ:
31 Then the dragons will have the upper hand, remembering their nature. If they will turn themselves, conspiring together in great power to persecute them,
32 сі́и смꙋтѧ́тсѧ, и҆ ᲂу҆молча́тъ въ си́лѣ и҆́хъ, и҆ ѡ҆братѧ́тъ но́зѣ своѝ на бѣжа́нїе:
32 then these will be troubled, and keep silence through their power, and will turn and flee.
33 и҆ ѿ ѡ҆́бласти а҆ссѷрі́йскїѧ ѡ҆бстоѧ́тель ѡ҆бста́нетъ и҆̀хъ и҆ сконча́етъ є҆ди́наго ѿ ни́хъ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ боѧ́знь и҆ стра́хъ въ полцѣ̀ и҆́хъ, и҆ рве́нїе на цари̑ и҆́хъ.
33 From the land of the Assyrians, an enemy in ambush will attack them and destroy one of them. Upon their army will be fear and trembling, and indecision upon their kings.
34 Сѐ, ѡ҆́блацы ѿ восто́ка и҆ сѣ́вера да́же до полꙋ́дне, и҆ лицѐ и҆́хъ гро́зно ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆спо́лнено гнѣ́ва и҆ бꙋ́ри:
34 Behold, clouds from the east, and from the north to the south! They are very horrible to look at, full of wrath and storm.
35 и҆ сразѧ́тсѧ междꙋ̀ собо́ю и҆ сразѧ́тъ ѕвѣздꙋ̀ мно́гꙋ на землѝ и҆ ѕвѣздꙋ̀ и҆́хъ: и҆ бꙋ́детъ кро́вь ѿ меча̀ да́же до ᲂу҆тро́бы,
35 They will clash against one another. They will pour out a heavy storm on the earth, even their own storm. There will be blood from the sword to the horse’s belly,
36 и҆ гно́й человѣ́ческїй да́же до сѣдла̀ вельблю́ждѧ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ боѧ́знь и҆ стра́хъ мно́гъ на землѝ,
36 and to the thigh of man, and to the camel’s hock.
37 и҆ ᲂу҆страша́тсѧ, и҆̀же ᲂу҆́зрѧтъ гнѣ́въ се́й, и҆ тре́петъ прїи́метъ и҆̀хъ:
37 There will be fearfulness and great trembling upon earth. They who see that wrath will be afraid, and trembling will seize them.
38 и҆ по се́мъ воздви́гнꙋтсѧ бꙋ̑ри мнѡ́ги ѿ полꙋ́дне и҆ сѣ́вера, и҆ ча́сть и҆́на ѿ за́пада,
38 After this, great storms will be stirred up from the south, from the north, and another part from the west.
39 и҆ премо́гꙋтъ вѣ́три ѿ восто́ка, и҆ ѡ҆творѧ́тъ є҆го̀, и҆ ѡ҆́блакъ, є҆го́же воздви́же во гнѣ́вѣ, и҆ ѕвѣзда̀ на сотворе́нїе стра́ха ѿ восто́чна вѣ́тра и҆ за́падна повреди́тсѧ:
39 Strong winds will arise from the east, and will shut it up, even the cloud which he raised up in wrath; and the storm that was to cause destruction by the east wind will be violently driven toward the south and west.
40 и҆ воздви́гнꙋтсѧ ѡ҆́блацы ве́лїи и҆ ѕѣ́льнїи, по́лни гнѣ́ва, и҆ ѕвѣзда̀, да ᲂу҆страша́тъ всю̀ зе́млю и҆ ѡ҆бита́ющихъ на не́й, и҆ возлїю́тъ на всѧ́ко мѣ́сто высо́ко и҆ вознесе́ное ѕвѣздꙋ̀ стра́шнꙋю,
40 Great and mighty clouds, full of wrath, will be lifted up with the storm, that they may destroy all the earth and those who dwell in it. They will pour out over every high and lofty one a terrible storm,
41 ѻ҆́гнь и҆ гра́дъ, и҆ мечы̀ лета́ющыѧ и҆ во́ды мнѡ́ги, ꙗ҆́кѡ да напо́лнѧтсѧ всѧ̑ полѧ̀ и҆ всѝ и҆сто́чницы и҆сполне́нїемъ во́дъ мно́гихъ:
41 fire, hail, flying swords, and many waters, that all plains may be full, and all rivers, with the abundance of those waters.
42 и҆ сокрꙋша́тъ гра́ды и҆ стѣ́ны, и҆ го́ры и҆ хо́лмы, (и҆ ᲂу҆дѡ́лїѧ) и҆ древа̀ дꙋбра̑внаѧ, и҆ сѣ̑на лꙋ̑жнаѧ и҆ жи̑та и҆́хъ,
42 They will break down the cities and walls, mountains and hills, trees of the forest, and grass of the meadows, and their grain.
43 и҆ про́йдꙋтъ непоколе́блеми до вавѷлѡ́на и҆ сокрꙋша́тъ є҆го̀:
43 They will go on steadily to Babylon and destroy her.
44 соберꙋ́тсѧ къ немꙋ̀, и҆ ѡ҆бы́дꙋтъ є҆го̀, и҆ и҆злїю́тъ ѕвѣздꙋ̀ и҆ всю̀ ꙗ҆́рость на́нь: и҆ взы́детъ пра́хъ и҆ ды́мъ да́же до небесѐ, и҆ всѝ, и҆̀же ѡ҆́крестъ, возрыда́ютъ ѡ҆ не́мъ,
44 They will come to it and surround it. They will pour out the storm and all wrath on her. Then the dust and smoke will go up to the sky, and all those who are around it will mourn for it.
45 и҆ и҆̀же под̾ ни́мъ ѡ҆ста́нꙋтъ, послꙋ́жатъ тѣ̑мъ, и҆̀же ᲂу҆страши́ша и҆̀хъ.
45 Those who remain will serve those who have destroyed it.
46 И҆ ты̀, а҆сі́е, согла́сна во ᲂу҆пова́нїе вавѷлѡ́на, и҆ сла́ва лица̀ є҆гѡ̀:
46 You, Asia, who are partaker in the beauty of Babylon, and in the glory of her person—
47 го́ре тебѣ̀ бѣ́днѣй! поне́же ᲂу҆подо́биласѧ є҆сѝ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆краси́ла є҆сѝ дщє́ри твоѧ̑ въ любодѣѧ́нїи, ко ᲂу҆гожде́нїю и҆ прославле́нїю въ любо́вныхъ твои́хъ, и҆̀же съ тобо́ю похотѣ́ша всегда̀ блꙋди́ти:
47 woe to you, you wretch, because you have made yourself like her. You have decked out your daughters for prostitution, that they might please and glory in your lovers, which have always lusted after you!
48 ненави́дѣнномꙋ подража́ла є҆сѝ во всѣ́хъ дѣ́лѣхъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ въ начина́нїихъ є҆гѡ̀.
48 You have followed her who is hateful in all her works and inventions. Therefore God says,
49 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, послю̀ на тѧ̀ ѕла̑ѧ, вдовство̀, ᲂу҆бо́жество и҆ гла́дъ, и҆ ме́чь и҆ гꙋби́тельство на разоре́нїе домѡ́въ твои́хъ ѿ наси́лїѧ и҆ сме́рти,
49 “I will send evils on you: widowhood, poverty, famine, sword, and pestilence, to lay waste your houses and bring you to destruction and death.
50 и҆ сла́ва си́лы твоеѧ̀ ꙗ҆́коже цвѣ́тъ и҆́зсхнетъ, є҆гда̀ воста́нетъ зно́й, и҆́же по́сланъ є҆́сть на тѧ̀:
50 The glory of your power will be dried up like a flower when the heat rises that is sent over you.
51 и҆знемо́жеши ꙗ҆́коже ᲂу҆бо́жайшаѧ ꙗ҆́звена и҆ нака́зана ѿ же́нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не возмо́гꙋтъ тебѐ прїѧ́ти си́льнїи и҆ любѡ́вницы.
51 You will be weakened like a poor woman who is beaten and wounded, so that you won’t be able to receive your mighty ones and your lovers.
52 Є҆да̀ а҆́зъ та́кѡ возревнꙋ́ю тебѣ̀, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь,
52 Would I have dealt with you with such jealousy,” says the Lord,
53 а҆́ще бы не закла́ла є҆сѝ и҆збра́нныхъ мои́хъ во всѧ́ко вре́мѧ, возвыша́ющи на пораже́нїе рꙋ́цѣ и҆ глаго́лющи на сме́рть и҆́хъ, є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆пива́ласѧ є҆сѝ;
53 “if you had not always slain my chosen, exalting and clapping your hands, and talking about their dead when you were drunk?
54 ᲂу҆красѝ лѣ́потꙋ лица̀ твоегѡ̀:
54 “Beautify your face!
55 мзда̀ блꙋже́нїѧ твоегѡ̀ въ нѣ́дрѣхъ твои́хъ, сегѡ̀ ра́ди воздаѧ́нїе прїи́меши.
55 The reward of a prostitute will be in your bosom, therefore you will be repaid.
56 Ꙗ҆́коже сотвори́ши и҆збра̑ннымъ мои̑мъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, та́кѡ сотвори́тъ тебѣ̀ бг҃ъ и҆ преда́стъ тѧ̀ во ѕла̑ѧ:
56 Just as you will do to my chosen,” says the Lord, “even so God will do to you, and will deliver you to your adversaries.
57 и҆ ча̑да твоѧ̑ гла́домъ поги́бнꙋтъ, ты́ же мече́мъ паде́ши, и҆ гра́ди твоѝ сокрꙋша́тсѧ, и҆ всѝ твоѝ въ по́ли ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ падꙋ́тъ:
57 Your children will die of hunger. You will fall by the sword. Your cities will be broken down, and all your people in the field will perish by the sword.
58 и҆ и҆̀же сꙋ́ть въ гора́хъ, гла́домъ поги́бнꙋтъ и҆ ꙗ҆́сти бꙋ́дꙋтъ мѧса̀ своѧ̑ ѿ гла́да хлѣ́ба и҆ кро́вь пи́ти ѿ жа́жды воды̀:
58 Those who are in the mountains will die of hunger, eat their own flesh, and drink their own blood, because of hunger for bread and thirst for water.
59 неблагополꙋ́чна чрез̾ морѧ̀ прїи́деши и҆ па́ки прїи́меши ѕла̑ѧ,
59 You, unhappy above all others, will come and will again receive evils.
60 и҆ въ прехожде́нїи поразѧ́тъ гра́дъ и҆збїе́нный, и҆ и҆скоренѧ́тъ нѣ́кꙋю ча́сть землѝ твоеѧ̀, и҆ ча́сть сла́вы твоеѧ̀ и҆стребѧ́тъ, па́ки возвраща́ющесѧ къ вавѷлѡ́нꙋ превраще́нномꙋ:
60 In the passage, they will rush on the hateful city and will destroy some portion of your land, and mar part of your glory, and will return again to Babylon that was destroyed.
61 и҆ разоре́на бꙋ́деши и҆̀мъ ꙗ҆́кѡ хвра́стїе, и҆ ті́и бꙋ́дꙋтъ тебѣ̀ а҆́ки ѻ҆́гнь,
61 You will be cast down by them as stubble, and they will be to you as fire.
62 и҆ пожрꙋ́тъ тѧ̀ и҆ гра́ды твоѧ̑, зе́млю твою̀ и҆ го́ры твоѧ̑, и҆ всѧ̑ дꙋбра̑вы твоѧ̑ и҆ древеса̀ плодонѡ́снаѧ ѻ҆гне́мъ пожгꙋ́тъ,
62 They will devour you, your cities, your land, and your mountains. They will burn all your forests and your fruitful trees with fire.
63 сы́ны твоѧ̑ въ плѣне́нїе поведꙋ́тъ, и҆ да̑ни твоѧ̑ въ коры́сть во́змꙋтъ, и҆ сла́вꙋ лица̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆стребѧ́тъ.
63 They will carry your children away captive, and will plunder your wealth, and mar the glory of your face.”
