2 Esdras (4 Ezra) 2 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.
2 Esdras (4 Ezra) is not in RV1909.

1 Сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭь: а҆́зъ и҆зведо́хъ лю́ди сїѧ̑ и҆з̾ рабо́ты, и҆̀мже повелѣ̑нїѧ да́хъ рабы̑ мои́ми прⷪ҇рѡ́ки, и҆̀хже слꙋ́шати не восхотѣ́ша, но ѿверго́ша моѧ̑ совѣ́ты.

1 The Lord says, “I brought this people out of bondage. I gave them my commandments by my servants the prophets, whom they would not listen to, but made my counsels void.
2 Ма́ти, ꙗ҆́же и҆̀хъ родѝ, глаго́летъ и҆̀мъ: и҆ди́те, сы́нове, поне́же а҆́зъ вдови́ца є҆́смь и҆ ѡ҆ста́влена,
·
2 The mother who bore them says to them, ‘Go your way, my children, for I am a widow and forsaken.
3 воспита́хъ вы̀ съ ра́достїю и҆ лиши́хсѧ ва́съ со пла́чемъ и҆ ско́рбїю, ꙗ҆́кѡ согрѣши́сте пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ бг҃омъ ва́шимъ, и҆ є҆́же лꙋка́вое є҆́сть пред̾ ни́мъ, сотвори́сте:
·
3 I brought you up with gladness, and I have lost you with sorrow and heaviness, for you have sinned before the Lord God, and done that which is evil before me.
4 нн҃ѣ же что̀ сотворю̀ ва́мъ; а҆́зъ вдова̀ є҆́смь и҆ ѡ҆ста́влена: и҆ди́те, сы́нове, и҆ проси́те ѿ гдⷭ҇а млⷭ҇ти.
·
4 But now what can I do for you? For I am a widow and forsaken. Go your way, my children, and ask for mercy from the Lord.’
5 А҆́зъ же тебѐ, ѻ҆́ч҃е, свидѣ́телѧ призыва́ю на ма́терь сынѡ́въ, и҆̀же не восхотѣ́ша завѣ́та моегѡ̀ храни́ти:
·
5 As for me, O father, I call upon you for a witness in addition to the mother of these children, because they would not keep my covenant,
6 да да́си и҆̀мъ посрамле́нїе и҆ ма́терь и҆́хъ на расхище́нїе, да ро́да и҆́хъ не бꙋ́детъ,
·
6 that you may bring them to confusion, and their mother to ruin, that they may have no offspring.
7 да расточа́тсѧ во ꙗ҆зы́ки и҆мена̀ и҆́хъ, да и҆згла́дѧтсѧ ѿ землѝ, занѐ презрѣ́ша завѣ́тъ мо́й.
·
7 Let them be scattered abroad among the heathen. Let their names be blotted out of the earth, for they have despised my covenant.
8 Го́ре тебѣ̀, а҆ссꙋ́ръ, и҆́же сокрыва́еши непра́вєдныѧ ᲂу҆ себє̀. Ро́де лꙋка́вый, воспомѧнѝ, что̀ сотвори́хъ содо́мꙋ и҆ гомо́ррѣ,
·
8 Woe to you, Assur, you who hide the unrighteous with you! You wicked nation, remember what I did to Sodom and Gomorrah,
9 и҆́хже землѧ̀ лежи́тъ въ жꙋ́пельнѣй грꙋ́дѣ и҆ въ хо́лмѣхъ пе́пельныхъ: та́кѡ да́мъ тѣ́хъ, и҆̀же мѧ̀ не слꙋ́шаша, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель.
·
9 whose land lies in lumps of pitch and heaps of ashes. That is what I will also do to those who have not listened to me,” says the Lord Almighty.
10 Сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь ко є҆́здрѣ: возвѣстѝ лю́демъ мои̑мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да́мъ и҆̀мъ ца́рство і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мское, є҆́же да́ти и҆мѣ́хъ і҆и҃лю,
·
10 The Lord says to Esdras, “Tell my people that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have given to Israel.
11 и҆ возмꙋ̀ мнѣ̀ сла́вꙋ и҆́хъ и҆ да́мъ и҆̀мъ селє́нїѧ вѣ̑чнаѧ, ꙗ҆̀же пред̾ꙋгото́вахъ и҆̀мъ:
·
11 I will also take their glory back to myself, and give these the everlasting tabernacles which I had prepared for them.
12 дре́во жи́зни бꙋ́детъ и҆̀мъ въ благово́нїе ма́сти, и҆ не и҆́мꙋтъ трꙋжда́тисѧ, нижѐ ᲂу҆трꙋдѧ́тсѧ.
·
12 They will have the tree of life for fragrant perfume. They will neither labor nor be weary.
13 И҆ди́те и҆ прїими́те, проси́те себѣ̀ дні́й ма́лыхъ, да закоснѧ́тъ: ᲂу҆жѐ гото́во є҆́сть ва́мъ ца́рство, бди́те.
·
13 Ask, and you will receive. Pray that your days may be few, that they may be shortened. The kingdom is already prepared for you. Watch!
14 Засвидѣ́тельствꙋй нб҃омъ и҆ земле́ю: сотро́хъ бо ѕло́е и҆ сотвори́хъ бл҃го́е, ꙗ҆́кѡ живꙋ̀ а҆́зъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.
·
14 Call heaven and earth to witness. Call them to witness, for I have left out evil, and created the good, for I live, says the Lord.
15 Ма́ти, ѡ҆б̾имѝ сы́ны твоѧ̑, воспита́й и҆̀хъ со весе́лїемъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ голꙋби́ца ᲂу҆твердѝ но́зѣ и҆́хъ, занѐ тебѐ и҆збра́хъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.
·
15 “Mother, embrace your children. I will bring them out with gladness like a dove does. Establish their feet, for I have chosen you, says the Lord.
16 И҆ воскр҃шꙋ̀ мє́ртвыѧ ѿ мѣ́стъ свои́хъ и҆ и҆з̾ гробѡ́въ и҆зведꙋ̀ и҆̀хъ: позна́хъ бо и҆́мѧ моѐ во і҆и҃ли.
·
16 I will raise those who are dead up again from their places, and bring them out from their tombs, for I recognize my name in them.
17 Не бо́йсѧ, ма́ти сынѡ́въ, занѐ тебѐ и҆збра́хъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.
·
17 Don’t be afraid, you mother of children, for I have chosen you, says the Lord.
18 Послю̀ тебѣ̀ по́мощь ѻ҆́троки моѧ̑, и҆са́їю и҆ і҆еремі́ю, по и҆́хже совѣ́тꙋ ѡ҆ст҃и́хъ и҆ ᲂу҆гото́вахъ тебѣ̀ древе́съ двана́десѧть ѡ҆тѧгче́ныхъ разли́чными плѡ́ды,
·
18 For your help, I will send my servants Esaias and Jeremy, after whose counsel I have sanctified and prepared for you twelve trees laden with various fruits,
19 и҆ толи́кожде и҆сто́чникѡвъ текꙋ́щихъ млеко́мъ и҆ ме́домъ, и҆ го́ръ превысо́кихъ се́дмь и҆мѣ́ющихъ ши́покъ и҆ крі́нъ, на ни́хже весе́лїемъ и҆спо́лню сы́ны твоѧ̑.
·
19 and as many springs flowing with milk and honey, and seven mighty mountains, on which roses and lilies grow, with which I will fill your children with joy.
20 Вдовꙋ̀ ѡ҆правда́й, си́рꙋ сꙋдѝ, ни́щемꙋ да́й, сиротꙋ̀ защитѝ, нага́го ѡ҆дѣ́й,
·
20 Do right to the widow. Secure justice for the fatherless. Give to the poor. Defend the orphan. Clothe the naked.
21 ѡ҆ сокрꙋше́ннѣмъ и҆ немощнѣ́мъ попецы́сѧ, хромо́мꙋ не посмѣ́йсѧ, защитѝ безрꙋ́каго, а҆ слѣпа́го къ видѣ́нїю свѣ́та моегѡ̀ припꙋстѝ:
·
21 Heal the broken and the weak. Don’t laugh a lame man to scorn. Defend the maimed. Let the blind man have a vision of my glory.
22 ста́раго и҆ млада́го междꙋ̀ стѣна́ми твои́ми сокры́й:
·
22 Protect the old and young within your walls.
23 мє́ртвыѧ и҆дѣ́же ѡ҆брѧ́щеши, назна́менавъ ѿда́й гро́бꙋ, и҆ да́мъ тебѣ̀ пе́рвое сѣдѣ́нїе въ воскрⷭ҇нїе моѐ.
·
23 Wherever you find the dead, set a sign upon them and commit them to the grave, and I will give you the first place in my resurrection.
24 И҆ ᲂу҆тиши́тесѧ и҆ препоко́йтесѧ, лю́дїе моѝ, занѐ прїи́детъ поко́й ва́шъ.
·
24 Stay still, my people, and take your rest, for your rest will come.
25 Корми́лице блага́ѧ, кормѝ сы́ны твоѧ̑, ᲂу҆твержда́й но́зѣ и҆́хъ.
·
25 Nourish your children, good nurse, and establish their feet.
26 Рабѡ́въ, и҆̀хже тебѣ̀ да́хъ, ни є҆ди́нъ ѿ ни́хъ поги́бнетъ, и҆̀хъ бо а҆́зъ взыщꙋ̀ ѿ числа̀ твоегѡ̀.
·
26 As for the servants whom I have given you, not one of them will perish, for I will require them from among your number.
27 Не и҆знемога́й: є҆гда́ бо прїи́детъ де́нь печа́ли и҆ тѣсноты̀, и҆ні́и воспла́чꙋтсѧ и҆ печа́льни бꙋ́дꙋтъ, ты́ же ра́достна и҆ ѻ҆би́льна бꙋ́деши.
·
27 Don’t be anxious, for when the day of suffering and anguish comes, others will weep and be sorrowful, but you will rejoice and have abundance.
28 Поревнꙋ́ютъ (тебѣ̀) ꙗ҆зы́цы и҆ ничто́же проти́вꙋ тебє̀ возмо́гꙋтъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.
·
28 The nations will envy you, but they will be able to do nothing against you, says the Lord.
29 Рꙋ́цѣ моѝ покры́ютъ тѧ̀, да сы́нове твоѝ гее́нны не ᲂу҆́зрѧтъ.
·
29 My hands will cover you, so that your children don’t see Gehenna.
30 Оу҆тѣша́йсѧ, ма́ти, съ сы̑ны твои́ми, занѐ а҆́зъ тѧ̀ и҆зба́влю, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.
·
30 Be joyful, mother, with your children, for I will deliver you, says the Lord.
31 Воспомѧнѝ ча̑да твоѧ̑ спѧ́щыѧ, поне́же а҆́зъ и҆зведꙋ̀ и҆̀хъ и҆з̾ бокѡ́въ землѝ и҆ млⷭ҇ть съ ни́ми сотворю̀: млⷭ҇тивъ бо є҆́смь, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель.
·
31 Remember your children who sleep, for I will bring them out of the secret places of the earth and show mercy to them, for I am merciful, says the Lord Almighty.
32 Ѡ҆б̾имѝ ча̑да твоѧ̑, до́ндеже а҆́зъ прїидꙋ̀ и҆ сотворю̀ и҆̀мъ млⷭ҇рдїе: и҆сто́чницы бо моѝ и҆з̾ѡби́лꙋютъ и҆ блгⷣть моѧ̀ не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́етъ.
·
32 Embrace your children until I come, and proclaim mercy to them, for my wells run over, and my grace won’t fail.”
33 А҆́зъ є҆́здра взѧ́хъ повелѣ́нїе ѿ гдⷭ҇а на горѣ̀ ѡ҆ри́въ, да и҆дꙋ̀ ко і҆и҃лю, къ ни̑мже є҆гда̀ прїидо́хъ, ѿри́нꙋша мѧ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆ничижи́ша за́повѣдь гдⷭ҇ню.
·
33 I, Esdras, received a command from the Lord on Mount Horeb to go to Israel, but when I came to them, they rejected me and rejected the Lord’s commandment.
34 И҆ сегѡ̀ ра́ди ва́мъ глаго́лю, ꙗ҆зы́цы, и҆̀же слы́шите и҆ разꙋмѣ́ете: жди́те па́стырѧ ва́шего, и҆́же да́стъ ва́мъ поко́й вѣ́чный: поне́же ѻ҆́нъ ᲂу҆жѐ бли́з̾ є҆́сть и҆ и҆́мать прїитѝ во сконча́нїи вѣ́ка.
·
34 Therefore I say to you, O nations that hear and understand, “Look for your shepherd. He will give you everlasting rest, for he is near at hand who will come at the end of the age.
35 Бꙋ́дите гото́ви къ воздаѧ́нїємъ црⷭ҇твїѧ, свѣ́тъ бо вѣ́чный возсїѧ́етъ на вы̀ во вѣ́ки:
·
35 Be ready for the rewards of the kingdom, for the everlasting light will shine on you forevermore.
36 бѣжи́те сѣ́ни вѣ́ка сегѡ̀, прїими́те наслажде́нїе сла́вы ва́шеѧ, а҆́зъ ꙗ҆́вѣ свидѣ́тельствꙋю сп҃си́телемъ мои́мъ.
·
36 Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joy of your glory. I call to witness my savior openly.
37 Ввѣ́ренный да́ръ прїими́те и҆ весели́тесѧ, благодарѧ́ще призва́вшаго вы̀ въ црⷭ҇тво нбⷭ҇ное.
·
37 Receive that which is given to you by the Lord, and be joyful, giving thanks to him who has called you to heavenly kingdoms.
38 Воста́ните и҆ сто́йте, и҆ смотрѧ́йте число̀ зна́менаныхъ на пирꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇немъ,
·
38 Arise and stand up, and see the number of those who have been sealed at the Lord’s feast.
39 и҆̀же пресели́шасѧ ѿ сѣ́ни вѣ́ка сегѡ̀, воспрїѧ́ша свѣ̑тлаѧ ѡ҆дѣѧ̑нїѧ ѿ гдⷭ҇а.
·
39 Those who withdrew themselves from the shadow of the world have received glorious garments from the Lord.
40 Воспрїимѝ число̀ твоѐ, сїѡ́не, и҆ заключѝ ѡ҆дѣ́ѧнныхъ твои́хъ въ бѣ̑лаѧ, и҆̀же и҆спо́лниша зако́нъ гдⷭ҇ень.
·
40 Take again your full number, O Zion, and make up the reckoning of those of yours who are clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord.
41 И҆спо́лнено є҆́сть число̀ ча̑дъ твои́хъ, и҆̀хже жела́лъ є҆сѝ: молѝ црⷭ҇тва гдⷭ҇нѧ, да бꙋ́дꙋтъ ѡ҆свѧще́ни лю́дїе твоѝ, призва́ннїи и҆з̾ нача́ла.
·
41 The number of your children, whom you long for, is fulfilled. Ask the power of the Lord, that your people, which have been called from the beginning, may be made holy.”
42 А҆́зъ є҆́здра ви́дѣхъ на горѣ̀ сїѡ́нстѣй наро́дъ мно́гъ, и҆̀хже и҆счи́слити не мого́хъ, и҆ всѝ пѣ́сньми хвалѧ́хꙋ гдⷭ҇а:
·
42 I, Esdras, saw upon Mount Zion a great multitude, whom I could not number, and they all praised the Lord with songs.
43 посредѣ́ же и҆́хъ бѣ̀ ю҆́ноша высоча́е во́зрастомъ па́че всѣ́хъ ѻ҆́ныхъ, и҆́же полага́ше вѣнцы̀ на главꙋ̀ коегѡ́ждо и҆ па́че возвыша́шесѧ, а҆́зъ же диви́хсѧ ѕѣлѡ̀.
·
43 In the midst of them, there was a young man of a high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads he set crowns, and he was more exalted than they were. I marveled greatly at this.
44 Тогда̀ вопроси́хъ а҆́гг҃ла, глаго́лѧ: что̀ сꙋ́ть сі́и, го́споди;
·
44 So I asked the angel, and said, “What are these, my Lord?”
45 Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща̀: сі́и сꙋ́ть, и҆̀же совлеко́шасѧ ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїѧ сме́ртнагѡ и҆ ѡ҆блеко́шасѧ въ безсме́ртное и҆ и҆сповѣ́даша и҆́мѧ бж҃їе: нн҃ѣ вѣнча́ютсѧ и҆ прїе́млютъ фі́нїки.
·
45 He answered and said to me, “These are those who have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God. Now they are crowned, and receive palms.”
46 И҆ вопроси́хъ а҆́гг҃ла ѡ҆ ю҆́ноши: кто̀ є҆́сть ѻ҆́ный ю҆́ноша, и҆́же возлага́етъ на ни́хъ вѣнцы̀ и҆ фі́нїки въ рꙋ́цѣ дае́тъ;
·
46 Then said I to the angel, “Who is the young man who sets crowns on them, and gives them palms in their hands?”
47 Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща̀ мѝ: се́й є҆́сть сн҃ъ бж҃їй, є҆го́же и҆сповѣ́даша въ вѣ́цѣ се́мъ. А҆́зъ же нача́хъ велича́ти и҆̀хъ, и҆̀же крѣ́пкѡ за и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не воѡрꙋжа́шасѧ.
·
47 So he answered and said to me, “He is the Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world.” Then I began to praise those who stood so valiantly for the name of the Lord.
48 Тогда̀ речѐ мѝ а҆́гг҃лъ: и҆дѝ и҆ возвѣ́сти лю́демъ мои̑мъ, какѡва́ѧ и҆ кѡли́каѧ чꙋдеса̀ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ.
·
48 Then the angel said to me, “Go your way, and tell my people what kind of things, and how great wonders of the Lord God you have seen.”
