2 Maccabees 6 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 Не по мно́зѣ же вре́мени посла̀ ца́рь ста́рца (нѣ́коего) а҆ѳине́анина понꙋжда́ти і҆ꙋдє́й, дабы̀ ѿстꙋпи́ли ѿ ѻ҆те́ческихъ преда́нїй и҆ по бжⷭ҇твєннымъ зако́нѡмъ не жи́тельствовали,

1 Not long after this, the king sent out an old man of Athens to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers and not to live by the laws of God,
2 ѡ҆скверни́ти же и҆ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ хра́мъ и҆ нарещѝ ді́а ѻ҆лѷмпі́йскагѡ, и҆ сꙋ́щїй въ гарїзі́нѣ, ꙗ҆́коже ѡ҆бита́ющїи бѧ́хꙋ на мѣ́стѣ ѻ҆́нѣмъ, ді́а страннопрїи́мца.
·
2 and also to pollute the sanctuary in Jerusalem and to call it by the name of Olympian Zeus, and to call the sanctuary in Gerizim by the name of Zeus the Protector of foreigners, even as the people who lived in that place did.
3 Лю́то же и҆ всемꙋ̀ наро́дꙋ бѣ̀ и҆ тѧ́жко нападе́нїе ѕло́бы,
·
3 The visitation of this evil was harsh and utterly grievous.
4 и҆́бо це́рковь любодѣѧ́нїѧ и҆ козлогласова́нїѧ бѣ̀ полна̀ ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ живꙋ́щихъ со блꙋдни́цами и҆ во свѧще́нныхъ притво́рѣхъ къ жена́мъ приближа́ющихсѧ и҆ неподѡба́ющаѧ внꙋ́трь вносѧ́щихъ.
·
4 For the temple was filled with debauchery and reveling by the heathen, who dallied with prostitutes, and had intercourse with women within the sacred precincts, and moreover brought inside things that were not appropriate.
5 Ѻ҆лта́рь та́кожде по́лнъ бѣ̀ возбране́нными ѿ зако́нѡвъ.
·
5 The altar was filled with those abominable things which had been prohibited by the laws.
6 Бѧ́ше же не возмо́жно сꙋббѡ́тъ храни́ти, ни пра́здникѡвъ ѻ҆те́ческихъ содержа́ти, нижѐ весьма̀ комꙋ̀ себѐ і҆ꙋде́аниномъ и҆менова́ти.
·
6 A man could neither keep the Sabbath, nor observe the feasts of their ancestors, nor so much as confess himself to be a Jew.
7 Ведѧ́хꙋжесѧ съ го́рькою нꙋжде́ю на всѧ́къ мцⷭ҇ъ въ де́нь рожде́нїѧ царе́ва въ же́ртвѣ: бы́вшꙋ же дїоно́совꙋ пра́здникꙋ, понꙋжда́хꙋсѧ і҆ꙋде́є кі́ссы и҆мꙋ́ще хвали́ти дїонѵ́са.
·
7 On the day of the king’s birth every month, they were led along with bitter constraint to eat of the sacrifices. When the feast of Dionysia came, they were compelled to go in procession in honor of Dionysus, wearing wreaths of ivy.
8 Повелѣ́нїе же и҆зы́де въ бли̑жнїѧ гра́ды є҆́ллинскїѧ, птоломе́ю под̾ꙋсти́вшꙋ, да тогѡ́жде ᲂу҆ставле́нїѧ проти́вꙋ і҆ꙋде́євъ ᲂу҆потреблѧ́ютъ, и҆ же́ртвꙋ прино́сѧтъ,
·
8 A decree went out to the neighboring Greek cities, by the suggestion of Ptolemy, that they should observe the same conduct against the Jews, and should make them eat of the sacrifices,
9 не и҆зволѧ́ющихъ же прейтѝ на є҆́ллинскїѧ ᲂу҆ста́вы да ᲂу҆бива́ютъ: бѣ̀ ᲂу҆̀бо ви́дѣти настоѧ́щꙋю бѣ́дность.
·
9 and that they should kill those who didn’t choose to go over to the Greek rites. So the present misery was for all to see.
10 Двѣ́ бо жєны̀ ѡ҆клевєта́ны бы́стѣ ѡ҆брѣ́завшыѧ ча̑да своѧ̑: си́хъ привѣ́сивше и҆́ма къ сосца́мъ младе́нцы и҆ пред̾ наро́домъ ѡ҆бводи́вше и҆̀хъ по гра́дꙋ, со стѣны̀ сверго́ша.
·
10 For example, two women were brought in for having circumcised their children. These, when they had led them publicly around the city with the babes hung from their breasts, they threw down headlong from the wall.
11 И҆ні́и же въ бли̑жнїѧ сте́кшесѧ пещє́ры, та́йнѡ де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный пра́здновати, є҆гда̀ возвѣ́щено бы́сть фїлі́ппꙋ, сожже́ни бы́ша, занѐ ра́ди че́сти пра́здничнагѡ днѐ боѧ́хꙋсѧ помога́ти себѣ̀.
·
11 Others who had run together into the caves nearby to keep the seventh day secretly, were betrayed to Philip and were all burned together, because their piety kept them from defending themselves, in view of the honor of that most solemn day.
12 Молю̀ ᲂу҆̀бо чтꙋ́щихъ кни́гꙋ сїю̀ не ᲂу҆страша́тисѧ напа́стей, мнѣ́ти же мꙋчє́нїѧ сїѧ̑ не къ погꙋбле́нїю, но къ наказа́нїю ро́да на́шегѡ бы́ти.
·
12 I urge those who read this book to not be discouraged because of the calamities, but recognize that these punishments were not for the destruction, but for the chastening of our race.
13 И҆́бо на мно́го вре́мѧ не попꙋска́ти ѕлоче́ствꙋющымъ, но а҆́бїе впа́дати и҆̀мъ въ мꙋчє́нїѧ, вели́кагѡ благодѣѧ́нїѧ є҆́сть зна́менїе.
·
13 For indeed it is a sign of great kindness that those who act impiously are not let alone for a long time, but immediately meet with retribution.
14 Не бо̀ ꙗ҆́коже на и҆́ныхъ ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ жде́тъ долготерпѣли́вый влⷣка, до́ндеже дости́гшихъ ко и҆сполне́нїю грѣхѡ́въ мꙋ́читъ, та́кѡ и҆ на на́съ сꙋдѝ бы́ти:
·
14 For in the case of the other nations, the Sovereign Lord waits patiently to punish them until they have attained to the full measure of their sins; but not with us,
15 да не до конца̀ дости́гшымъ грѣхѡ́мъ на́шымъ, послѣдѝ на́мъ ѿмсти́тъ.
·
15 that he may not take vengeance on us afterward, when we have come to the height of our sins.
16 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди никогда́же ѿ на́съ млⷭ҇рдїе своѐ ѿе́млетъ: наказꙋ́ѧй же бѣ́дствами не ѡ҆ставлѧ́етъ люді́й свои́хъ.
·
16 Therefore he never withdraws his mercy from us; but though he chastens with calamity, he doesn’t forsake his own people.
17 Но сїѧ̑ ко ᲂу҆вѣща́нїю на́мъ речє́на сꙋ́ть: ма́лыми же подоба́етъ вни́ти въ по́вѣсть.
·
17 However let this that we have spoken suffice to remind you; but after a few words, we must come to the narrative.
18 Є҆леаза́ръ нѣ́кїй ѿ пе́рвенствꙋющихъ кни́жникѡвъ, мꙋ́жъ ᲂу҆жѐ соста́рѣвсѧ лѣ́тами и҆ зра́комъ лица̀ благолѣ́пенъ сы́й, ѿве́рстыми ᲂу҆сты̑ принꙋжда́емь бѧ́ше ꙗ҆́сти свина̑ѧ мѧса̀.
·
18 Eleazar, one of the principal scribes, a man already well advanced in years, and of a noble countenance, was compelled to open his mouth to eat swine’s flesh.
19 Ѻ҆́нъ же со сла́вою сме́рть па́че, не́жели ненави́стный живо́тъ пред̾избра́въ, во́лею и҆дѧ́ше на мꙋ́кꙋ:
·
19 But he, welcoming death with honor rather than life with defilement, advanced of his own accord to the instrument of torture, but first spat out the flesh,
20 плю́нꙋвъ же (на та̑ѧ), и҆́мже ѡ҆́бразомъ подоба́ше приходи́ти хотѧ́щымъ терпѣ́ти мꙋче́нїе, ꙗ҆̀же не лѣ́ть бѣ̀ ꙗ҆́сти ра́ди любле́нїѧ живота̀.
·
20 as men ought to come who are resolute to repel such things as not even for the natural love of life is it lawful to taste.
21 Ко беззако́ннѣй же приста́вленнїи же́ртвѣ, дре́внѧгѡ ра́ди къ мꙋ́жꙋ зна́нїѧ, взе́мше є҆го̀ на є҆ди́нѣ молѧ́хꙋ, да принесє́наѧ мѧса̀, ꙗ҆̀же ꙗ҆́сти є҆мꙋ̀ лѣ́ть бѧ́ше, є҆гѡ̀ ра́ди ᲂу҆готѡ́вана, притвори́тъ себѐ а҆́ки ꙗ҆дꙋ́ща повелѣ̑ннаѧ ѿ царѧ̀ же́ртвєннаѧ мѧса̀:
·
21 But those who had the charge of that forbidden sacrificial feast took the man aside, for the acquaintance which of old times they had with him, and privately implored him to bring flesh of his own providing, such as was proper for him to use, and to make as if he did eat of the flesh from the sacrifice, as had been commanded by the king;
22 да сїѐ содѣ́лавъ и҆зба́витсѧ ѿ сме́рти и҆ дре́внїѧ ра́ди къ ни̑мъ дрꙋ́жбы полꙋ́читъ человѣколю́бїе.
·
22 that by so doing he might be delivered from death, and so his ancient friendship with them might be treated kindly.
23 Ѻ҆́нъ же мы́сль бла́гꙋ воспрїе́мь и҆ досто́йнꙋ во́зраста и҆ ста́рости преимꙋ́щества, и҆ пристѧжа́ныѧ лѣ́потныѧ сѣди́ны и҆ и҆здѣ́тска предо́брагѡ воспита́нїѧ, па́че же ст҃а́гѡ и҆ бг҃ода́ннагѡ зако́на, послѣ́довнѡ ѿвѣща̀, ско́рѡ глаго́лѧ: и҆зволѧ́ю по́сланъ бы́ти во а҆́дъ,
·
23 But he, having formed a high resolve, and one that became his years, the dignity of old age, and the gray hairs which he had reached with honor, and his excellent education from a child, or rather the holy laws of God’s ordaining, declared his mind accordingly, bidding them to quickly send him to Hades.
24 не бо̀ во́зрастꙋ на́шемꙋ досто́йно є҆́сть лицемѣ́рити, да мно́зи ѿ ю҆́ныхъ непщꙋ́юще є҆леаза́ра девѧтидесѧтилѣ́тна прейтѝ къ жи́тельствꙋ и҆ноплеме́нныхъ,
·
24 “For it doesn’t become our years to dissemble,” he said, “that many of the young should suppose that Eleazar, the man of ninety years, had gone over to an alien religion;
25 и҆ ѻ҆нѝ моегѡ̀ ра́ди лицемѣ́рїѧ и҆ маловре́меннагѡ живота̀ прельстѧ́тсѧ менє̀ ра́ди, и҆ не́нависть и҆ поро́къ ста́рости мое́й сотворю̀:
·
25 and so they, by reason of my deception, and for the sake of this brief and momentary life, would be led astray because of me, and I defile and disgrace myself in my old age.
26 а҆́ще бо ны́нѣшнїѧ мꙋ́ки человѣ́ческїѧ и҆ и҆зба́влюсѧ, но рꙋкѝ всемогꙋ́щагѡ ни жи́въ, ни ᲂу҆ме́рый и҆збѣгꙋ̀:
·
26 For even if for the present time I would remove from me the punishment of men, yet whether I live or die, I wouldn’t escape the hands of the Almighty.
27 тѣ́мже мꙋ́жественнѣ нн҃ѣ разлꙋчи́всѧ живота̀, ста́рости ᲂу҆́бѡ досто́инъ ꙗ҆влю́сѧ,
·
27 Therefore, by bravely parting with my life now, I will show myself worthy of my old age,
28 ю҆́нымъ же ѡ҆́бразъ до́блїй ѡ҆ста́влю, є҆́же ᲂу҆се́рднѡ и҆ до́бльственнѡ за чєстны́ѧ и҆ свѧты̑ѧ зако́ны ᲂу҆мира́ти. И҆ сїѧ̑ ре́къ, со тща́нїемъ на мꙋ́кꙋ по́йде.
·
28 and leave behind a noble example to the young to die willingly and nobly a glorious death for the revered and holy laws.” When he had said these words, he went immediately to the instrument of torture.
29 Ведꙋ́щїи же є҆го̀, бы́вшꙋю ма́лѡ пре́жде благопрїѧ́тность къ немꙋ̀ въ свирѣ́пость премѣни́ша предрече́нныхъ ра́ди слове́съ, ꙗ҆̀же сі́и мнѧ́хꙋ безꙋ́мство бы́ти.
·
29 When they changed the good will they bore toward him a little before into ill will because these words of his were, as they thought, sheer madness,
30 Хотѧ́ же ра́нами сконча́тисѧ, возстена́въ речѐ: гдⷭ҇еви ст҃ы́й ра́зꙋмъ и҆мꙋ́щемꙋ ꙗ҆́вно є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ сме́рти могꙋ́щь и҆зба́витисѧ, же́стѡкїѧ терплю̀ на тѣ́лѣ бѡлѣ́зни ᲂу҆ѧзвлѧ́емь, на дꙋши́ же сла́дцѣ стра́ха ра́ди є҆гѡ̀ сїѧ̑ стра́ждꙋ.
·
30 and when he was at the point to die with the blows, he groaned aloud and said, “To the Lord, who has the holy knowledge, it is manifest that, while I might have been delivered from death, I endure severe pains in my body by being scourged; but in soul I gladly suffer these things because of my fear of him.”
31 И҆ се́й ᲂу҆̀бо си́мъ ѡ҆́бразомъ живо́тъ сконча̀, не то́кмѡ ю҆́ношамъ, но и҆ премнѡ́гимъ ꙗ҆зы́ка свою̀ сме́рть во ѡ҆́бразъ до́блести и҆ въ па́мѧть добродѣ́тели ѡ҆ста́вивъ.
·
31 So this man also died like this, leaving his death for an example of nobleness and a memorial of virtue, not only to the young but also to the great body of his nation.
