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 і҆ѡра́мъ сы́нъ а҆хаа́вовъ воцари́сѧ над̾ і҆и҃лемъ въ самарі́и, въ лѣ́то ѻ҆смоена́десѧть і҆ѡсафа́та царѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́дина, и҆ ца́рствова лѣ́тъ двана́десѧть,
1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
2 и҆ сотворѝ лꙋка́вое пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма гдⷭ҇нима: ѻ҆ба́че не ꙗ҆́коже ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ не ꙗ҆́коже ма́ти є҆гѡ̀: и҆ разрꙋшѝ ка̑пища ваа́лѡва, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀:
2 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, but not like his father and like his mother, for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
3 ѻ҆ба́че ко грѣхꙋ̀ і҆еровоа́ма сы́на нава́това, и҆́же введѐ во грѣ́хъ і҆и҃лѧ, прилѣпи́сѧ и҆ не ѿстꙋпѝ ѿ негѡ̀.
3 Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from them.
4 И҆ мѡса̀ ца́рь мѡа́вль бѣ̀ нѡки́дъ и҆ даѧ́ше да́нь царю̀ і҆и҃левꙋ, сто̀ ты́сѧщъ а҆́гнцєвъ и҆ сто̀ ты́сѧщъ ѻ҆внѡ́въ съ рꙋна́ми.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder; and he supplied the king of Israel with one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.
5 И҆ бы́сть по ᲂу҆ме́ртвїи а҆хаа́вли и҆ ѿве́ржесѧ ца́рь мѡа́вль царѧ̀ і҆и҃лева.
5 But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 И҆ и҆зы́де ца́рь і҆ѡра́мъ во дни̑ ѡ҆́ны ѿ самарі́и и҆ соглѧ́да і҆и҃лѧ,
6 King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
7 и҆ и҆́де, и҆ посла̀ ко і҆ѡсафа́тꙋ царю̀ і҆ꙋ́динꙋ, глаго́лѧ: ца́рь мѡа́вль ѿве́ржесѧ менє̀: и҆́деши ли со мно́ю на бра́нь на мѡа́ва; И҆ речѐ: взы́дꙋ: си́це мнѣ̀, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ тебѣ̀: ꙗ҆́коже лю́дїе моѝ, лю́дїе твоѝ: ꙗ҆́коже ко́ни моѝ, ко́ни твоѝ.
7 He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?” He said, “I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
8 И҆ речѐ: кі́имъ пꙋте́мъ взы́демъ; И҆ речѐ: пꙋте́мъ пꙋсты́ни є҆дѡ́мскїѧ.
8 Then he said, “Which way shall we go up?” Jehoram answered, “The way of the wilderness of Edom.”
9 И҆ и҆́де ца́рь і҆и҃левъ и҆ ца́рь і҆ꙋ́динъ и҆ ца́рь є҆дѡ́мль, и҆ и҆до́ша пꙋте́мъ се́дмь дні́й: и҆ не бѣ̀ полкꙋ̀ воды̀ и҆ скотѡ́мъ сꙋ́щымъ съ ни́ми.
9 So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they marched for seven days along a circuitous route. There was no water for the army or for the animals that followed them.
10 И҆ речѐ ѻ҆трокѡ́мъ свои̑мъ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ: Ѽ, ꙗ҆́кѡ созва̀ гдⷭ҇ь трѝ сїѧ̑ цари̑ и҆дꙋ́щыѧ преда́ти и҆̀хъ въ рꙋ́цѣ мѡа́вли.
10 The king of Israel said, “Alas! For Yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
11 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡсафа́тъ къ немꙋ̀ ца́рь і҆ꙋ́динъ: є҆́сть ли здѣ̀ прⷪ҇ро́къ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ вопро́симъ гдⷭ҇а и҆́мъ; и҆ ѿвѣща̀ є҆ди́нъ ѻ҆́трокъ царѧ̀ і҆и҃лева и҆ речѐ: здѣ̀ є҆́сть є҆лїссе́й сы́нъ сафа́товъ, и҆́же возлива́ше во́дꙋ на рꙋ́цѣ и҆лїинѣ̑.
11 But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there a prophet of Yahweh here, that we may inquire of Yahweh by him?” One of the king of Israel’s servants answered, “Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah, is here.”
12 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡсафа́тъ: є҆́сть съ ни́мъ гл҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень. И҆ сни́де къ немꙋ̀ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ и҆ і҆ѡсафа́тъ ца́рь і҆ꙋ́динъ и҆ ца́рь є҆дѡ́мль.
12 Jehoshaphat said, “Yahweh’s word is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 И҆ речѐ є҆лїссе́й ко царю̀ і҆и҃левꙋ: что̀ мнѣ̀ и҆ тебѣ̀; и҆дѝ ко проро́кѡмъ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆ ко проро́кѡмъ ма́тере твоеѧ̀. И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ: є҆да̀ созва̀ гдⷭ҇ь трѝ цари̑, є҆́же преда́ти ѧ҆̀ въ рꙋ́цѣ мѡа̑вли;
13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother.” The king of Israel said to him, “No, for Yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
14 И҆ речѐ є҆лїссе́й: жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь си́лъ є҆мꙋ́же предстою̀ пред̾ ни́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще бы́хъ не лицѐ і҆ѡсафа́та царѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́дина а҆́зъ прїѧ́лъ, то̀ воззрѣ́лъ ли бы́хъ на тѧ̀, и҆ ви́дѣлъ ли бы́хъ тѧ̀;
14 Elisha said, “As Yahweh of Armies lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.
15 и҆ нн҃ѣ приведи́ ми пѣвца̀. И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ воспѣва́ше пѣве́цъ, и҆ бы́сть на не́мъ рꙋка̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ,
15 But now bring me a musician.” When the musician played, Yahweh’s hand came on him.
16 и҆ речѐ: та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: сотвори́те пото́къ се́й рва́ми рва́ми,
16 He said, “Yahweh says, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’
17 ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: не ᲂу҆́зрите дꙋ́ха, и҆ нижѐ ᲂу҆ви́дите дождѧ̀: и҆ пото́къ се́й напо́лнитсѧ воды̀, и҆ пїе́те вы̀ и҆ стѧжа̑нїѧ ва̑ша и҆ ско́ти ва́ши:
17 For Yahweh says, ‘You will not see wind, neither will you see rain, yet that valley will be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your other animals.
18 и҆ ле́гко сїѐ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма гдⷭ҇нима, и҆ преда́мъ мѡа́ва въ рꙋ́ки ва́шѧ,
18 This is an easy thing in Yahweh’s sight. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
19 и҆ порази́те всѧ́къ гра́дъ тве́рдъ, и҆ всѧ́ко дре́во бла́го низложитѐ, и҆ всѧ́къ и҆сто́чникъ воды̀ заградитѐ, и҆ всѧ́кꙋ ча́сть бла́гꙋ разбїетѐ ка́менїемъ.
19 You shall strike every fortified city and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.’”
20 И҆ бы́сть заꙋ́тра восходѧ́щей же́ртвѣ, и҆ сѐ, во́ды и҆дѧ́хꙋ пꙋте́мъ є҆дѡ́мскимъ, и҆ и҆спо́лнисѧ воды̀ землѧ̀.
20 In the morning, about the time of offering the sacrifice, behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21 И҆ всѝ мѡаві́тѧне ᲂу҆слы́шаша, ꙗ҆́кѡ взыдо́ша три́десѧти царѧ̑ бра́тисѧ съ ни́ми. И҆ возопи́ша ѿвсю́дꙋ препоѧ́саннїи ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ и҆ рѣ́ша: ѻ҆́хъ: и҆ ста́ша ᲂу҆ предѣ́ла.
21 Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, young and old, and stood on the border.
22 И҆ ᲂу҆ра́ниша заꙋ́тра, и҆ со́лнце возсїѧ̀ на во́ды: и҆ ви́дѣ мѡа́въ сопроти́въ во́ды чє́рмны ꙗ҆́кѡ кро́вь,
22 They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite them as red as blood.
23 и҆ речѐ: кро́вь сїѧ̀ є҆́сть ѿ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїѧ: и҆ би́шасѧ ца́рїе, и҆ ᲂу҆бѝ мꙋ́жъ и҆́скреннѧгѡ своего̀: и҆ нн҃ѣ (грѧдѝ) на коры̑сти, мѡа́ве.
23 They said, “This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the plunder!”
24 И҆ внидо́ша въ по́лкъ і҆и҃левъ, і҆и҃льтѧне же воста́ша. и҆ и҆зби́ша мѡа́влѧнъ: и҆ побѣго́ша ѿ лица̀ и҆́хъ: и҆ внидо́ша входѧ́ще и҆ бїю́ще мѡа́ва,
24 When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land attacking the Moabites.
25 и҆ гра́ды разби́ша, и҆ всѧ́кꙋ ча́сть бла́гꙋ наверго́ша мꙋ́жїе ка́менїемъ, и҆ напо́лниша ю҆̀, и҆ всѧ́къ и҆сто́чникъ загради́ша, и҆ всѧ́ко дре́во бла́го и҆зсѣко́ша, доне́лѣже ѡ҆ста́виша ка́менїе стѣ́нъ разбїе́но: и҆ ѡ҆бстꙋпи́ша пра́щницы и҆ разби́ша є҆го̀.
25 They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land each man cast his stone, and filled it. They also stopped all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth all they left was its stones; however the men armed with slings went around it and attacked it.
26 И҆ ви́дѣ ца́рь мѡа́вль, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆крѣпи́сѧ над̾ ни́мъ бра́нь, и҆ взѧ̀ съ собо́ю се́дмь сѡ́тъ мꙋже́й со ѡ҆бнаже́ннымъ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ, є҆́же просѣщи́сѧ ко царю̀ є҆дѡ́мскꙋ: и҆ не возмого́ша.
26 When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew a sword, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not.
27 И҆ поѧ́тъ сы́на своего̀ пе́рвенца, є҆го́же воцарѝ вмѣ́стѡ себє̀, и҆ вознесѐ є҆го̀ во всесожже́нїе на стѣнѣ̀: и҆ бы́сть раска́ѧнїе вели́кое во і҆и҃ли: и҆ ѿстꙋпи́ша ѿ негѡ̀ и҆ возврати́шасѧ въ зе́млю свою̀.
27 Then he took his oldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
