2 Maccabees 10 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 Maccabees is not in RV1909.

1 Маккаве́й же и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ бѧ́хꙋ, гдⷭ҇ꙋ и҆̀хъ защища́ющꙋ, хра́мъ ᲂу҆́бѡ и҆ гра́дъ воспрїѧ́ша:
·
1 Then Maccabaeus and those who were with him, the Lord leading them on, recovered the temple and the city.
2 ка̑пища же ѿ и҆ноплеме́нникѡвъ на то́ржищи ᲂу҆стро́єннаѧ, є҆ще́ же и҆ трє́бища раскопа́ша,
·
2 They pulled down the altars that had been built in the marketplace by the foreigners, and also the sacred enclosures.
3 и҆ ѡ҆чи́стивше хра́мъ, и҆́нъ ѻ҆лта́рь сотвори́ша, и҆ разже́гше ка́менїе и҆ взе́мше ѻ҆́гнь ѿ ни́хъ, принесо́ша же́ртвꙋ по двою̀ лѣ́тꙋ и҆ ше́сти мцⷭ҇ѣхъ, и҆ ѳѷмїа́мъ и҆ свѣ́щники, и҆ хлѣ́бѡвъ предложе́нїе сотвори́ша.
·
3 Having cleansed the sanctuary, they made another altar of sacrifice. Striking flint and starting a fire, they offered sacrifices after they had ceased for two years, burned incense, lit lamps, and set out the show bread.
4 Сїѧ̑ же сотво́рше, молѧ́хꙋ гдⷭ҇а па́дше ни́цъ, да не ктомꙋ̀ въ сицєва́ѧ ѕла̑ѧ впадꙋ́тъ, но а҆́ще когда̀ и҆ согрѣ́шатъ, ѿ негѡ̀ съ кро́тостїю да наказꙋ́ютсѧ, а҆ не ва́рварѡмъ и҆ хꙋ́льнымъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ предадѧ́тсѧ.
·
4 When they had done these things, they fell prostrate and implored the Lord that they might fall no more into such evils; but that, if they ever did sin, they might be chastened by him with forbearance, and not be delivered to blaspheming and barbarous heathen.
5 И҆ во́ньже де́нь хра́мъ ѿ и҆ноплемє́нникъ ѡ҆скверни́сѧ, слꙋчи́сѧ въ то́й же де́нь ѡ҆чище́нїю бы́ти хра́ма, два́десѧть пѧ́тагѡ днѐ мцⷭ҇а, и҆́же є҆́сть хасле́ѵъ.
·
5 Now on the same day that the sanctuary was profaned by foreigners, upon that very day it came to pass that the sanctuary was cleansed, even on the twenty-fifth day of the same month, which is Chislev.
6 И҆ съ весе́лїемъ пра́здновахꙋ дні́й ѻ҆́смь по ѡ҆́бразꙋ сѣ́ней, помина́юще, ꙗ҆́кѡ пре́жде ма́лагѡ вре́мене пра́здникъ сѣ́нницъ въ гора́хъ и҆ въ пеще́рахъ ѕвѣри́нымъ ѡ҆́бразомъ бѧ́хꙋ провожда́юще.
·
6 They observed eight days with gladness in the manner of the feast of tabernacles, remembering how not long before, during the feast of tabernacles, they were wandering in the mountains and in the caves like wild animals.
7 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѳѵ́рси и҆ вѣ̑тви зелє́ныѧ, є҆ще́ же и҆ фі́нїки и҆мѣ́юще, пѣ̑сни приноша́хꙋ бл҃гопоспѣши́вшемꙋ ѡ҆чⷭ҇тити мѣ́сто своѐ.
·
7 Therefore carrying wands wreathed with leaves, and beautiful branches, and palm fronds also, they offered up hymns of thanksgiving to him who had successfully brought to pass the cleansing of his own place.
8 И҆ ᲂу҆зако́ниша ѻ҆́бщимъ повелѣ́нїемъ и҆ ᲂу҆ставле́нїемъ всемꙋ̀ ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ і҆ꙋде́йскꙋ по всѧ̑ лѣ̑та пра́здновати дни̑ сїѧ̑.
·
8 They ordained also with a public statute and decree, for all the nation of the Jews, that they should observe these days every year.
9 И҆ а҆нтїо́хъ ᲂу҆́бѡ, и҆́же проименова́шесѧ є҆пїфа́нъ, кончи́нꙋ та́кѡ и҆мѣ̀.
·
9 Such were the events of the end of Antiochus, who was called Epiphanes.
10 Нн҃ѣ же ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ є҆ѵпа́торѣ а҆нтїо́хѣ, сы́нѣ нечести́вагѡ бы́вшемъ, рече́мъ, сокраща́юще ѕла̑ѧ, ꙗ҆̀же во бра́нехъ сотворє́на сꙋ́ть.
·
10 Now we will declare what came to pass under Antiochus Eupator, who proved himself a son of that ungodly man, and will summarize the main evils of the wars.
11 Се́й бо воспрїѧ́въ ца́рствїе, поста́ви над̾ дѣла́ми ца́рскими лѷсі́ю нѣ́коего, кїлисѷрі́и же и҆ фїнїкі́и воево́дꙋ первонача́льнаго.
·
11 For this man, when he succeeded to the kingdom, appointed one Lysias to be chancellor and supreme governor of Coelesyria and Phoenicia.
12 Птоломе́й бо нарица́емый ма́крѡнъ пра́вдꙋ соблюда́ти произво́ливъ ко і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ бы́вшаѧ ра́ди къ ни̑мъ ѡ҆би́ды, покꙋша́шесѧ ꙗ҆̀же къ ни̑мъ ми́рнѡ препроводи́ти.
·
12 For Ptolemy who was called Macron, setting an example of observing justice toward the Jews because of the wrong that had been done to them, endeavored to deal with them on peaceful terms.
13 Тѣ́мже ѡ҆клевета́нъ ѿ дрꙋгѡ́въ ко є҆ѵпа́торꙋ и҆ ча́стѡ нарица́емь а҆́кибы преда́тель, поне́же кѵ́пръ ввѣ́ренный ѿ фїломи́тора ѡ҆ста́ви и҆ ко а҆нтїо́хꙋ є҆пїфа́нꙋ ѿи́де, нижѐ честны́ѧ вла́сти и҆мꙋ́щь, ѿ печа́ли ѡ҆трави́въ себѐ живо́тъ сконча̀.
·
13 Whereupon being accused by the king’s friends before Eupator, and hearing himself called traitor at every turn because he had abandoned Cyprus which Philometor had entrusted to him, and had withdrawn himself to Antiochus Epiphanes, and failing to uphold the honor of his office, he took poison and did away with himself.
14 Горгі́а же бы́въ воево́да над̾ мѣста́ми, собира́ше чꙋжди́хъ во́євъ и҆ непреста́ннѡ на і҆ꙋдє́и ра́товаше.
·
14 But when Gorgias was made governor of the district, he maintained a force of mercenaries, and at every turn kept up war with the Jews.
15 Съ ни́мъ же кꙋ́пнѡ и҆ і҆дꙋме́ане ѡ҆бдержа́ще крѣ̑пкїѧ тверды̑ни ѡ҆бꙋча́хꙋ і҆ꙋде́ѡвъ, и҆ и҆згонѧ́емыхъ и҆з̾ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма прїе́млюще, ра́товати начина́хꙋ.
·
15 Together with him the Idumaeans also, being masters of important strongholds, harassed the Jews; and received those who had taken refuge from Jerusalem, they endeavored to keep up the war.
16 Сꙋ́щїи же со маккаве́омъ сотво́рше моли́твꙋ и҆ моли́вше бг҃а спобо́рника и҆̀мъ бы́ти, на і҆дꙋмє́йскїѧ тверды̑ни ᲂу҆стреми́шасѧ.
·
16 But Maccabaeus and his men, having made solemn supplication and having implored God to fight on their side, rushed upon the strongholds of the Idumaeans.
17 Къ ни̑мъ же и҆ пристꙋпи́вше мꙋ́жественнѡ ѡ҆держа́ша мѣста̀, всѣ̑мъ же на стѣнѣ̀ ра́тꙋющымъ ѿмсти́ша и҆ срѣта́ющихсѧ закала́хꙋ, ᲂу҆би́ша же не ме́ньше два́десѧти ты́сѧщъ.
·
17 Assaulting them vigorously, they took control of the positions, and kept off all who fought upon the wall, and killed those whom they encountered, killing no fewer than twenty thousand.
18 И҆збѣ́гшымъ же нѣ̑кїимъ не ме́ньши девѧтѝ ты́сѧщъ въ двѣ̀ пѵ̑рги крѣ̑пки ѕѣлѡ̀ и҆ всѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же проти́вꙋ ѡ҆блеже́нїѧ, и҆мꙋ́щыѧ,
·
18 Because no fewer than nine thousand had fled into two very strong towers having everything needed for a siege,
19 маккаве́й ѡ҆ста́вивъ сі́мѡна и҆ і҆ѡ́сифа, є҆ще́ же и҆ закхе́а и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ дово́льныхъ ко ѡ҆блеже́нїю и҆́хъ, на нꙋ́жднаѧ мѣста̀ са́мъ ѿи́де.
·
19 Maccabaeus, having left Simon and Joseph, and also Zacchaeus and those who were with him, a force sufficient to besiege them, departed himself to places where he was most needed.
20 Сꙋ́щїи же съ сі́мѡномъ сребролюби́вїи ѿ нѣ́кїихъ, и҆́же въ пѵ̑ргахъ, сребро́мъ прельще́ни, и҆ се́дмьдесѧтъ ты́сѧщъ дра́хмъ взе́мше, ѡ҆ста́виша нѣ́кїихъ и҆збѣжа́ти.
·
20 But Simon and those who were with him, yielding to covetousness, were bribed by some of those who were in the towers, and receiving seventy thousand drachmas, let some of them slip away.
21 Є҆гда́ же возвѣсти́сѧ маккаве́ю ѡ҆ бы́вшемъ, собра́въ нача́льники люді́й, порица́ше, ꙗ҆́кѡ за сребро̀ прода́ша бра́тїю, сꙋпоста́тѡвъ на ни́хъ ѿпꙋсти́вше.
·
21 But when word was brought to Maccabaeus of what was done, he gathered the leaders of the people together, and accused those men of having sold their kindred for money by setting their enemies free to fight against them.
22 Си́хъ ᲂу҆̀бо преда́телей бы́вшихъ ᲂу҆бѝ и҆ внеза́пꙋ двѣ̀ пѵ̑рги разрꙋшѝ.
·
22 So he killed these men for having turned traitors, and immediately took possession of the two towers.
23 Ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ же во всѣ́хъ и҆ рꙋка́ми благоꙋспѣва́ѧ, погꙋбѝ въ двꙋ̀ тверды́нехъ бо́лѣе два́десѧти ты́сѧщъ.
·
23 Prospering with his weapons in everything he undertook, he destroyed more than twenty thousand in the two strongholds.
24 Тїмоѳе́й же, и҆́же пре́жде ѿ і҆ꙋдє́й бы́сть пораже́нъ, собра́въ во́євъ стра́нныхъ мно́жество, и҆ во а҆сі́и бы́вшихъ ко́нникѡвъ собра́въ не ма́лѡ, прїи́де а҆́ки ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ і҆ꙋде́ю хотѧ́щь взѧ́ти.
·
24 Now Timotheus, who had been defeated by the Jews before, having gathered together foreign forces in great multitudes, and having collected the cavalry which belonged to Asia, not a few, came as though he would take Judea by force of weapons.
25 Маккаве́й же и҆ сꙋ́щїи съ ни́мъ, приближа́ющꙋсѧ томꙋ̀, ко моли́твѣ бж҃їй ѡ҆брати́шасѧ, главы̑ земле́ю посы́павше и҆ чрє́сла вре́тищами препоѧ́савше,
·
25 But as he drew near, Maccabaeus and his men sprinkled dirt on their heads and girded their loins with sackcloth, in supplication to God,
26 пред̾ ѻ҆лта́рнымъ пра́гомъ ни́цъ па́дше, молѧ́хꙋ млⷭ҇тива и҆̀мъ бы́ти, враждова́ти же враждꙋ́ющымъ на ни́хъ и҆ сꙋпоста́тѡмъ проти́витсѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ зако́нъ глаго́летъ.
·
26 and falling down upon the step in front of the altar, implored him to become gracious to them, and be an enemy to their enemies and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law declares.
27 Бы́вше же по моли́твѣ, воспрїе́мше ѻ҆рꙋ̑жїѧ дале́че и҆з̾ гра́да и҆зыдо́ша: прибли́жшежесѧ къ сꙋпоста́тѡмъ, ѡ҆ себѣ̀ ста́ша.
·
27 Rising from their prayer they took up their weapons, and advanced some distance from the city. When they had come near to their enemies, they halted.
28 Со́лнцꙋ же возсїѧва́ющꙋ, ѻ҆боѝ срази́шасѧ: сі́и ᲂу҆́бѡ спорꙋ́чника и҆мꙋ́ще благополꙋ́чїѧ и҆ побѣ́ды съ добродѣ́телїю ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ прибѣ́жище, ѻ҆ни́ же воево́дꙋ бра́ней ᲂу҆чини́ша ꙗ҆́рость.
·
28 When the dawn was now breaking, the two armies joined in battle, the one part having this, beside virtue, for a pledge of success and victory, that they had fled to the Lord for refuge, the others making their passion their leader in the fight.
29 Пребыва́ющей же крѣ́пцей бра́ни, ꙗ҆ви́шасѧ сꙋпоста́тѡмъ ѿ нб҃сѐ мꙋ́жїе пѧ́ть на ко́нехъ зла̑ты ᲂу҆зды̑ и҆мꙋ́щихъ, благолѣ́пни, и҆ пра́вѧще і҆ꙋде́ѡвъ два̀:
·
29 When the battle became strong, there appeared out of heaven to their adversaries five splendid men on horses with bridles of gold, and two of them, leading on the Jews,
30 и҆ маккаве́а средѣ̀ себє̀ взе́мше и҆ защища́юще свои́мъ всеѻрꙋ́жїемъ невреди́ма сохранѧ́хꙋ, на сꙋпоста́ты же стрѣ́лы и҆ мѡ́лнїи мета́хꙋ: тѣ́мже смѣси́вшесѧ невидѣ́нїемъ сѣча́хꙋсѧ мѧте́жа и҆спо́лнени.
·
30 and taking Maccabaeus in the midst of them, and covering him with their own armor, guarded him from wounds, while they shot arrows and thunderbolts at the enemies. For this reason, they were blinded and thrown into confusion, and were cut to pieces, filled with bewilderment.
31 Оу҆бїе́нныхъ же бы́сть два́десѧть ты́сѧщъ и҆ пѧ́ть сѡ́тъ, ко́нныхъ же ше́сть сѡ́тъ.
·
31 Twenty thousand five hundred were slain, beside six hundred cavalry.
32 Са́мъ же тїмоѳе́й побѣжѐ въ газа́рꙋ глаго́лемꙋю тверды́ню, ѕѣлѡ̀ крѣ́пкꙋю, воево́дствꙋющꙋ та́мѡ хере́ю.
·
32 Timotheus himself fled into a stronghold called Gazara, a fortress of great strength, where Chaereas was in command.
33 Маккаве́й же и҆ сꙋ́щїи съ ни́мъ ве́селѡ ѡ҆бсѣдо́ша крѣ́пость дни̑ четы́ри.
·
33 Then Maccabaeus and his men were glad and laid siege to the fortress for four days.
34 сꙋ́щїи же внꙋ́трь на тве́рдость мѣ́ста ᲂу҆пова́юще, па́че мѣ́ры хꙋ́лѧхꙋ и҆ словеса̀ беззакѡ́ннаѧ и҆зноша́хꙋ.
·
34 Those who were within, trusting in the strength of the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and hurled out impious words.
35 Ꙗ҆́вльшꙋжесѧ пѧ́томꙋ дню̀ два́десѧть ю҆́ношей, и҆̀же съ маккаве́емъ бѣ́хꙋ, разже́гшесѧ ꙗ҆́ростїю хꙋле́нїѧ ра́ди, прибли́жившесѧ ко стѣнѣ̀, мꙋ́жественнѡ и҆ ѕвѣроѡбра́зною ꙗ҆́ростїю прилꙋчи́вшихсѧ разсѣца́хꙋ.
·
35 But at dawn of the fifth day, certain young men of Maccabaeus’ company, inflamed with anger because of the blasphemies, assaulted the wall with masculine force and with furious anger, and cut down whoever came in their way.
36 И҆ні́и же подо́бнѣ возше́дше съ нꙋ́ждею къ сꙋ́щымъ внꙋ́трь, зажига́хꙋ пѵ̑рги, и҆ возже́гше ѻ҆гни̑ща, живы́хъ хꙋ́льникѡвъ сожго́ша.
·
36 Others climbing up in the same way, while the enemies were distracted with those who had made their way within, set fire to the towers, and kindled fires that burned the blasphemers alive, while others broke open the gates, and, having given entrance to the rest of the band, occupied the city.
37 И҆ні́и же врата̀ разсѣко́ша, и҆ впꙋсти́вше про́чїй по́лкъ, взѧ́ша гра́дъ, и҆ тїмоѳе́а скры́вшагосѧ въ нѣ́коемъ рвѣ̀ закла́ша, и҆ бра́та є҆гѡ̀ хере́а и҆ а҆поллѡфа́на.
·
37 They killed Timotheus, who was hidden in a cistern, and his brother Chaereas, and Apollophanes.
38 Сїѧ̑ же сотво́рше съ пѣ́сньми и҆ и҆сповѣ́даньми благословлѧ́хꙋ гдⷭ҇а бл҃годѣ́телѧ вели́каго і҆и҃лю и҆ побѣ́дꙋ и҆̀мъ да́вшаго.
·
38 When they had accomplished these things, they blessed the Lord with hymns and thanksgiving, blessing him who provides great benefits to Israel and gives them the victory.
