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 та́мѡ бѧ́ше сы́нъ беззако́нный, и҆́мѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ саве́й, сы́нъ вохо́ровъ, мꙋ́жъ і҆емїні́овъ, и҆ вострꙋбѝ трꙋбо́ю ро́жаною и҆ речѐ: нѣ́сть на́мъ ча́сти въ даві́дѣ, нижѐ наслѣ́дїѧ на́мъ въ сы́нѣ і҆ессе́евѣ: (возврати́тесѧ,) мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃льтестїи, въ селє́нїѧ ва̑ша.
1 There happened to be there a wicked fellow, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet, and said, “We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel!”
2 И҆ ѿстꙋпи́ша всѝ мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃лєвы ѿ даві́да в̾слѣ́дъ саве́а сы́на вохо́рова: мꙋ́жїе же і҆ꙋ̑дины прилѣпи́шасѧ къ царю̀ своемꙋ̀ ѿ і҆ѻрда́на да́же и҆ до і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма.
2 So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah joined with their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
3 И҆ вни́де даві́дъ въ до́мъ сво́й во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, и҆ взѧ̀ ца́рь де́сѧть же́нъ подло́жницъ свои́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ста́ви стрещѝ до́мъ, и҆ дадѐ и҆̀хъ въ до́мъ стражбы̀: и҆ препита̀ и҆̀хъ, и҆ (ѿто́лѣ) не вни́де къ ни̑мъ: и҆ бѣ́ша храни́ми до днѐ сме́рти своеѧ̀, вдо́вски живꙋ́щѧ.
3 David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody and provided them with sustenance, but didn’t go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
4 И҆ речѐ ца́рь ко а҆месса́ю: созови́ ми мꙋ́жы і҆ꙋ̑дины въ трѝ дни̑, ты́ же здѣ̀ ста́ни.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be here present.”
5 И҆ по́йде а҆месса́й созва́ти мꙋже́й і҆ꙋ́диныхъ, и҆ ᲂу҆ме́дли ѿ вре́мене, въ не́же повелѣ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ даві́дъ.
5 So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together, but he stayed longer than the set time which had been appointed to him.
6 И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко а҆ве́ссѣ: нн҃ѣ ѕло̀ сотвори́тъ на́мъ саве́й сы́нъ вохо́рь па́че а҆вессалѡ́ма: и҆ нн҃ѣ ты̀ поимѝ съ собо́ю ѻ҆́троки господи́на своегѡ̀, и҆ поженѝ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀, да не ка́кѡ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ себѣ̀ гра́ды твє́рды и҆ застѣни́тсѧ ѿ ѻ҆че́съ на́шихъ.
6 David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.”
7 И҆ и҆зыдо́ша в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀ а҆ве́сса и҆ мꙋ́жїе і҆ѡа̑вли, и҆ хереѳѳі̀ и҆ фелеѳѳі̀ и҆ всѝ си́льнїи, и҆ и҆зыдо́ша и҆з̾ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма гна́ти в̾слѣ́дъ саве́а сы́на вохо́рова.
7 Joab’s men went out after him with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
8 И҆ ті́и (бѧ́хꙋ) ᲂу҆ ка́мене вели́кагѡ, и҆́же въ гаваѡ́нѣ, и҆ а҆месса́й вни́де пред̾ ни́ми: і҆ѡа́въ же препоѧ́санъ ри́зами ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїѧ своегѡ̀, и҆ верхꙋ̀ тогѡ̀ препоѧ́санъ мече́мъ припрѧ́женымъ при чре́слѣхъ є҆гѡ̀ въ ножна́хъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ є҆гда̀ ѿи́де, и҆ ме́чь и҆зсꙋ́нꙋсѧ и҆ падѐ.
8 When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was clothed in his apparel of war that he had put on, and on it was a sash with a sword fastened on his waist in its sheath; and as he went along it fell out.
9 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡа́въ а҆месса́ю: здра́въ ли є҆сѝ, бра́те; И҆ взѧ̀ і҆ѡа́въ рꙋко́ю десно́ю за брадꙋ̀ а҆месса́евꙋ лобза́ти є҆го̀:
9 Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
10 а҆месса́й же не побреже́сѧ меча̀, и҆́же въ рꙋцѣ̀ і҆ѡа́вли: и҆ ᲂу҆да́ри є҆го̀ і҆ѡа́въ мече́мъ въ чре́сла є҆гѡ̀, и҆ и҆злїѧ́сѧ чре́во є҆гѡ̀ на зе́млю, и҆ не повторѝ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆́мре (а҆месса́й). І҆ѡа́въ же и҆ а҆ве́сса бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀ гна́ста в̾слѣ́дъ саве́а сы́на вохо́рѧ.
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand. So he struck him with it in the body and shed out his bowels to the ground, and didn’t strike him again; and he died. Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
11 И҆ мꙋ́жъ ста̀ над̾ ни́мъ ѿ ѻ҆́трѡкъ і҆ѡа́влихъ и҆ речѐ: кто̀ хо́щетъ (бы́ти) і҆ѡа́вль, и҆ кто̀ даві́довъ, в̾слѣ́дъ і҆ѡа́ва (да и҆́детъ).
11 One of Joab’s young men stood by him, and said, “He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab!”
12 А҆месса́й же ме́ртвъ валѧ́шесѧ въ кро́ви посредѣ̀ пꙋтѝ. И҆ ви́дѣ мꙋ́жъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆становлѧ́хꙋсѧ над̾ ни́мъ всѝ лю́дїе, и҆ совратѝ а҆месса́ѧ съ пꙋтѝ на село̀, и҆ возложѝ на него̀ ри́зꙋ, поне́же ви́дѧше всѧ́каго приходѧ́ща над̾ ни́мъ стоѧ́вша:
12 Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. When the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.
13 и҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ принесѐ ѿ пꙋтѝ, преидо́ша всѝ мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃лєвы в̾слѣ́дъ і҆ѡа́ва, є҆́же гна́ти в̾слѣ́дъ саве́а сы́на вохо́рѧ.
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
14 И҆ се́й про́йде всѧ̑ кѡлѣ́на і҆и҃лєва во а҆ве́ль и҆ во веѳма́хꙋ: и҆ всѝ въ ха́ррѣ, и҆ всѝ гра́ды собра́шасѧ, и҆ и҆до́ша в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀,
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, to Beth Maacah, and all the Berites. They were gathered together, and went also after him.
15 и҆ прїидо́ша и҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ на него̀ ѡ҆́крестъ во а҆ве́ли и҆ во веѳма́хѣ: и҆ насы́паша зе́млю ко гра́дꙋ, и҆ ста̀ на предстѣ́нїи: и҆ всѝ лю́дїе и҆̀же со і҆ѡа́вомъ помышлѧ́хꙋ низложи́ти стѣ́нꙋ (гра́дскꙋю).
15 They came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.
16 И҆ возопѝ жена̀ мꙋ́драѧ со стѣны̀ и҆ речѐ: слы́шите, слы́шите, рцы́те нн҃ѣ і҆ѡа́вꙋ, да прибли́житсѧ до здѣ̀, и҆ возглаго́лю къ немꙋ̀.
16 Then a wise woman cried out of the city, “Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, ‘Come near here, that I may speak with you.’”
17 И҆ прибли́жисѧ къ не́й (і҆ѡа́въ), и҆ речѐ жена̀: ты́ ли є҆сѝ і҆ѡа́въ; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: а҆́зъ. И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: послꙋ́шай слове́съ рабы̀ твоеѧ̀. И҆ речѐ і҆ѡа́въ: послꙋ́шаю, а҆́зъ є҆́смь.
17 He came near to her; and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” He answered, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Hear the words of your servant.” He answered, “I’m listening.”
18 И҆ речѐ глаго́лющи: сло́во глаго́лаша въ пе́рвыхъ, глаго́люще: вопроша́емь вопроше́нъ бы́сть во а҆ве́ли и҆ въ да́нѣ, а҆́ще ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ша, ꙗ҆̀же положи́ша вѣ́рнїи і҆и҃лєвы: вопроша́юще да вопро́сѧтъ во а҆ве́ли, и҆ та́кѡ речѐ, а҆́ще ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ша:
18 Then she spoke, saying, “They used to say in old times, ‘They shall surely ask counsel at Abel,’ and so they settled a matter.
19 а҆́зъ є҆́смь ми̑рнаѧ ᲂу҆твержде́нїй і҆и҃левыхъ, ты́ же и҆́щеши ᲂу҆мертви́ти гра́дъ и҆ ма́терь градѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ: и҆ почто̀ потоплѧ́еши достоѧ́нїе гдⷭ҇не;
19 I am among those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up Yahweh’s inheritance?”
20 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ і҆ѡа́въ и҆ речѐ: ми́лостивъ мнѣ̀, ми́лостивъ мнѣ̀, а҆́ще потоплю̀ и҆ а҆́ще разрꙋшꙋ̀:
20 Joab answered, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
21 не та́кѡ сло́во, ꙗ҆́кѡ мꙋ́жъ съ горы̀ є҆фре́мли, саве́й сы́нъ вохо́рь и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ воздви́же рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ на царѧ̀ даві́да: дади́те мѝ того̀ є҆ди́наго, и҆ ѿидꙋ̀ ѿ гра́да. И҆ речѐ жена̀ ко і҆ѡа́вꙋ: сѐ, глава̀ є҆гѡ̀ све́ржетсѧ къ тебѣ̀ со стѣны̀.
21 The matter is not so. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Just deliver him, and I will depart from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
22 И҆ вни́де жена̀ ко всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ и҆ глаго́ла ко всемꙋ̀ гра́дꙋ мꙋ́дростїю свое́ю, ѿѧ́ти главꙋ̀ саве́а сы́на вохо́рѧ. И҆ ѿсѣко́ша главꙋ̀ саве́а сы́на вохо́рѧ, и҆ сверго́ша ю҆̀ ко і҆ѡа́вꙋ. И҆ і҆ѡа́въ вострꙋбѝ въ трꙋбꙋ̀, и҆ разыдо́шасѧ мꙋ́жїе ѿ гра́да всѝ въ селє́нїѧ своѧ̑. І҆ѡа́въ же возврати́сѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ ко царю̀.
22 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. They cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. He blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. Then Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
23 И҆ (бѣ̀) і҆ѡа́въ над̾ все́ю си́лою і҆и҃левою, и҆ ване́а сы́нъ і҆ѡда́евъ над̾ хереѳѳі̀ и҆ над̾ фелеѳѳі̀,
23 Now Joab was over all the army of Israel, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites,
24 а҆дѡнїра́мъ же над̾ да́ньми, и҆ і҆ѡсафа́тъ сы́нъ а҆хїлꙋ́ѳовъ воспомина́ѧй,
24 Adoram was over the men subject to forced labor, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder,
25 и҆ сꙋса̀ книго́чїй, садѡ́къ же и҆ а҆вїаѳа́ръ і҆ере́є,
25 Sheva was scribe, Zadok and Abiathar were priests,
26 і҆ра́съ же і҆арі́нь бы́сть жре́цъ даві́довъ.
26 and Ira the Jairite was chief minister to David.
