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 бы́сть по си́хъ, и҆ сотворѝ себѣ̀ а҆вессалѡ́мъ колєсни́цы и҆ ко́ни и҆ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ мꙋ̑жъ текꙋ́щихъ пред̾ ни́мъ:
1 After this, Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men to run before him.
2 и҆ востава́ше ра́нѡ а҆вессалѡ́мъ, и҆ стоѧ́ше при са́мѣмъ пꙋтѝ вра́тъ: и҆ бы́сть всѧ́къ мꙋ́жъ, є҆мꙋ́же бѧ́ше прѧ̀, прїи́де пред̾ царѧ̀ на сꙋ́дъ, и҆ возопѝ къ немꙋ̀ а҆вессалѡ́мъ, и҆ глаго́лаше є҆мꙋ̀: ѿ ко́егѡ гра́да ты̀ є҆сѝ; И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ мꙋ́жъ: ѿ є҆ди́нагѡ колѣ́нъ і҆и҃левыхъ ра́бъ тво́й.
2 Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. When any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”
3 И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ а҆вессалѡ́мъ: сѐ, словеса̀ твоѧ̑ бла̑га и҆ ᲂу҆дѡ́бна, но слꙋ́шающагѡ нѣ́сть тѝ ѿ царѧ̀.
3 Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
4 И҆ речѐ а҆вессалѡ́мъ: кто́ мѧ поста́витъ сꙋдїю̀ на землѝ, и҆ ко мнѣ̀ прїи́детъ всѧ́къ мꙋ́жъ и҆мѣ́ѧй прю̀ и҆ сꙋ́дъ, и҆ ѡ҆правда́ю є҆го̀;
4 Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”
5 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ приближа́шесѧ мꙋ́жъ поклони́тисѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ простира́ше рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀, и҆ прїима́ше є҆го̀, и҆ цѣлова́ше є҆го̀.
5 It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.
6 И҆ сотворѝ а҆вессалѡ́мъ по глаго́лꙋ семꙋ̀ всемꙋ̀ і҆и҃лю приходѧ́щымъ на сꙋ́дъ къ царю̀ и҆ приꙋсво́и а҆вессалѡ́мъ сердца̀ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ.
6 Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 И҆ бы́сть ѿ конца̀ четы́редесѧти лѣ́тъ, и҆ речѐ а҆вессалѡ́мъ ко ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀: пойдꙋ̀ нн҃ѣ и҆ возда́мъ ѡ҆бѣ́ты моѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆бѣща́хъ гдⷭ҇ꙋ въ хеврѡ́нѣ:
7 At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Yahweh, in Hebron.
8 занѐ ѡ҆бѣ́тъ ѡ҆бѣща̀ ра́бъ тво́й, є҆гда̀ жи́хъ въ гедсꙋ́рѣ сѷрі́йстѣмъ, глаго́лѧ: а҆́ще возвраща́ѧ возврати́тъ мѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, и҆ послꙋжꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ꙋ.
8 For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If Yahweh shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Yahweh.’”
9 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ца́рь: и҆дѝ съ ми́ромъ. И҆ воста́въ и҆́де въ хеврѡ́нъ.
9 The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
10 И҆ посла̀ а҆вессалѡ́мъ соглѧда̑таи во всѧ̑ кѡлѣ́на і҆и҃лєва, глаго́лѧ: є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́шите вы̀ гла́съ трꙋбы̀ ро́жаны, и҆ рцы́те: воцари́сѧ ца́рь а҆вессалѡ́мъ въ хеврѡ́нѣ.
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”
11 И҆ и҆до́ша со а҆вессалѡ́момъ двѣ́сти мꙋже́й ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма по́звани: и҆ и҆дѧ́хꙋ въ простотѣ̀ свое́й, и҆ не разꙋмѣ́ша всѧ́кагѡ глаго́ла.
11 Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.
12 И҆ посла̀ а҆вессалѡ́мъ, и҆ призва̀ а҆хїтофе́ла галамоні́йскаго, совѣ́тника даві́дова, ѿ гра́да є҆гѡ̀ гѡла́мы, є҆гда̀ жрѧ́ше жє́ртвы. И҆ бы́сть смѧте́нїе крѣ́пко: и҆ люді́й мно́жество и҆дꙋ́щихъ со а҆вессалѡ́момъ.
12 Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
13 И҆ прїи́де вѣ́стникъ къ даві́дꙋ, глаго́лѧ: бы́сть се́рдце мꙋже́й і҆и҃левыхъ со а҆вессалѡ́момъ.
13 A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
14 И҆ речѐ даві́дъ всѣ̑мъ ѻ҆трокѡ́мъ свои̑мъ сꙋ́щымъ съ ни́мъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: воста́ните, и҆ бѣжи́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть на́мъ спасе́нїѧ ѿ лица̀ а҆вессалѡ́млѧ: ᲂу҆скори́те и҆тѝ, да не ᲂу҆скори́тъ и҆ во́зметъ на́съ, и҆ наведе́тъ на на́съ ѕло́бꙋ, и҆ и҆збїе́тъ гра́дъ ѻ҆́стрїемъ меча̀.
14 David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
15 И҆ рѣ́ша ѻ҆́троцы царє́вы къ царю̀: всѧ̑ є҆ли̑ка заповѣ́сть госпо́дь на́шъ ца́рь, сѐ, мы̀ ѻ҆́троцы твоѝ.
15 The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
16 И҆ и҆зы́де ца́рь и҆ ве́сь до́мъ є҆гѡ̀ нога́ми свои́ми, и҆ ѡ҆ста́ви ца́рь де́сѧть же́нъ подло́жницъ свои́хъ храни́ти до́мъ.
16 The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
17 И҆ и҆зы́де ца́рь и҆ всѝ ѻ҆́троцы є҆гѡ̀ пѣ̑ши и҆ ста́ша въ домꙋ̀ сꙋ́щемъ дале́че:
17 The king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
18 и҆ всѝ ѻ҆́троцы є҆гѡ̀ ѿ ѻ҆бою̀ странꙋ̑ є҆гѡ̀ и҆дѧ́хꙋ, и҆ всѝ хелеѳе́є и҆ всѝ фелеѳе́є и҆ всѝ геѳе́є, ше́сть сѡ́тъ мꙋже́й ше́дше пѣ̑ши ѿ ге́ѳа пред̾идѧ́хꙋ пред̾ лице́мъ царе́вымъ.
18 All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
19 И҆ речѐ ца́рь ко є҆ѳѳе́ю геѳѳе́инꙋ: почто̀ и҆ ты̀ и҆́деши съ на́ми; возврати́сѧ и҆ живѝ съ царе́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ чꙋ́ждь є҆сѝ ты̀, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ пресели́лсѧ є҆сѝ ты̀ ѿ мѣ́ста твоегѡ̀:
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner and also an exile. Return to your own place.
20 а҆́ще вчера̀ прише́лъ є҆сѝ, и҆ дне́сь ли подви́гнꙋ тѧ̀ и҆тѝ съ на́ми; и҆ а҆́зъ и҆дꙋ̀, а҆́може пойдꙋ̀: и҆дѝ и҆ возврати́сѧ, и҆ возвратѝ бра́тїю твою̀ съ тобо́ю, и҆ гдⷭ҇ь да сотвори́тъ съ тобо́ю млⷭ҇ть и҆ и҆́стинꙋ.
20 Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”
21 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ є҆ѳѳе́й къ царю̀ и҆ речѐ: жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ жи́въ господи́нъ мо́й ца́рь, ꙗ҆́кѡ на мѣ́стѣ, и҆дѣ́же бꙋ́детъ господи́нъ мо́й ца́рь, и҆лѝ въ сме́рти, и҆лѝ въ животѣ̀, та́мѡ бꙋ́детъ ра́бъ тво́й.
21 Ittai answered the king and said, “As Yahweh lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”
22 И҆ речѐ ца́рь ко є҆ѳѳе́ю: грѧдѝ, и҆ прейдѝ со мно́ю. И҆ пре́йде є҆ѳѳе́й геѳѳе́инъ и҆ ца́рь и҆ всѝ ѻ҆́троцы є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ве́сь наро́дъ и҆́же съ ни́мъ.
22 David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
23 И҆ всѧ̀ землѧ̀ пла́кашесѧ гла́сомъ вели́кимъ. И҆ всѝ лю́дїе прехожда́хꙋ по пото́кꙋ ке́дрскꙋ, и҆ ца́рь пре́йде чрез̾ пото́къ ке́дрскїй, и҆ всѝ лю́дїе и҆ ца́рь и҆дѧ́хꙋ къ лицꙋ̀ пꙋтѝ пꙋсты́ннагѡ.
23 All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.
24 И҆ сѐ, и҆ садѡ́къ і҆ере́й и҆ всѝ леѵі́ти съ ни́мъ, носѧ́ще кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ ѿ веѳа́ры: и҆ поста́виша кївѡ́тъ бж҃їй: и҆ а҆вїа́ѳаръ взы́де, до́ндеже преста́ша всѝ лю́дїе и҆сходи́ти и҆з̾ гра́да.
24 Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down God’s ark; and Abiathar went up until all the people finished passing out of the city.
25 И҆ речѐ ца́рь къ садѡ́кꙋ: возвратѝ кївѡ́тъ бж҃їй во гра́дъ, и҆ да ста́нетъ на мѣ́стѣ свое́мъ: а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋ блгⷣть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма гдⷭ҇нима, и҆ возврати́тъ мѧ̀, и҆ пока́жетъ мѝ є҆го̀ и҆ лѣ́потꙋ є҆гѡ̀:
25 The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favor in Yahweh’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show me both it and his habitation;
26 и҆ а҆́ще та́кѡ рече́тъ: не благоволи́хъ въ тебѣ̀: сѐ, а҆́зъ є҆́смь, да сотвори́тъ мѝ по бл҃го́мꙋ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма свои́ма.
26 but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
27 И҆ речѐ ца́рь садѡ́кꙋ і҆ере́ю: ви́дите, ты̀ возвраща́ешисѧ во гра́дъ съ ми́ромъ и҆ а҆хїмаа́съ сы́нъ тво́й и҆ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ сы́нъ а҆вїа́ѳаровъ, два̀ сы́ны ва́ши съ ва́ми:
27 The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 ви́дите, а҆́зъ вселѧ́юсѧ во а҆равѡ́ѳъ пꙋсты́нный, до́ндеже прїи́детъ мѝ сло́во ѿ ва́съ, є҆́же возвѣсти́ти мѝ.
28 Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
29 И҆ возвратѝ садѡ́къ и҆ а҆вїа́ѳаръ кївѡ́тъ бж҃їй во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, и҆ сѣ́де та́мѡ.
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried God’s ark to Jerusalem again; and they stayed there.
30 И҆ даві́дъ восхожда́ше восхо́домъ на го́рꙋ є҆леѡ́нскꙋю восходѧ̀ и҆ пла́часѧ, и҆ покры́въ главꙋ̀ свою̀, и҆ са́мъ и҆дѧ́ше босы́ма нога́ма: и҆ всѝ лю́дїе и҆̀же съ ни́мъ покры́ша кі́йждо главꙋ̀ свою̀, и҆ восхожда́хꙋ восходѧ́ще и҆ пла́чꙋщесѧ.
30 David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31 И҆ возвѣсти́ша даві́дꙋ глаго́люще: и҆ а҆хїтофе́лъ въ мѧте́жницѣхъ со а҆вессалѡ́момъ. И҆ речѐ даві́дъ: разрꙋшѝ совѣ́тъ а҆хїтофе́левъ, гдⷭ҇и, бж҃е мо́й.
31 Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “Yahweh, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
32 И҆ бѣ̀ даві́дъ грѧды́й да́же до рѡ́са, и҆дѣ́же поклони́сѧ бг҃ꙋ. И҆ сѐ, на срѣ́тенїе є҆мꙋ̀ (и҆зы́де) хꙋсі́й пе́рвый дрꙋ́гъ даві́довъ, растерза́въ ри̑зы своѧ̑, и҆ пе́рсть на главѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀.
32 When David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.
33 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ даві́дъ: а҆́ще по́йдеши со мно́ю, и҆ бꙋ́деши мѝ въ тѧ́гость:
33 David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
34 а҆́ще же возврати́шисѧ во гра́дъ и҆ рече́ши а҆вессалѡ́мꙋ: минꙋ́ша бра́тїѧ твоѧ̑, и҆ ца́рь за мно́ю минꙋ̀ ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й, и҆ нн҃ѣ ра́бъ тво́й є҆́смь, царю̀, пощади́ мѧ жи́ва бы́ти: ра́бъ бѣ́хъ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ тогда̀ и҆ досе́лѣ, нн҃ѣ же а҆́зъ тво́й ра́бъ: и҆ разрꙋши́ ми совѣ́тъ а҆хїтофе́левъ:
34 but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
35 и҆ сѐ, съ тобо́ю та́мѡ садѡ́къ и҆ а҆вїа́ѳаръ і҆ере́є: и҆ бꙋ́детъ всѧ́къ глаго́лъ, є҆го́же ᲂу҆слы́шиши и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ ца́рскихъ, и҆ ска́жеши садѡ́кꙋ и҆ а҆вїа́ѳарꙋ і҆ере́ємъ:
35 Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 сѐ, та́мѡ съ ни́ми два̀ сы̑на и҆́хъ, а҆хїмаа́съ сы́нъ садѡ́ковъ и҆ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ сы́нъ а҆вїа́ѳаровъ: и҆ посли́те рꙋко́ю и҆́хъ ко мнѣ̀ всѧ́къ глаго́лъ, є҆го́же а҆́ще ᲂу҆слы́шите.
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”
37 И҆ вни́де хꙋсі́й дрꙋ́гъ даві́довъ во гра́дъ, и҆ а҆вессалѡ́мъ тогда̀ вхожда́ше во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.
37 So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
