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 Слы́шите сло́во гдⷭ҇не, и҆́мже а҆́зъ прїе́млю на вы̀ пла́чь: до́мъ і҆и҃левъ паде́сѧ и҆ ктомꙋ̀ не приложи́тъ воста́ти:
1 Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel:
2 дѣви́ца і҆и҃лева пове́ржена на землѝ свое́й, нѣ́сть возставлѧ́ющагѡ ю҆̀.
2 “The virgin of Israel has fallen; She shall rise no more. She is cast down on her land; there is no one to raise her up.”
3 Поне́же сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ: и҆з̾ гра́да, и҆з̾ негѡ́же и҆схожда́ше ты́сѧща, ѡ҆ста́нетсѧ въ не́мъ сто̀: и҆ и҆з̾ негѡ́же и҆схожда́ше сто̀, ѡ҆ста́нетъ въ не́мъ де́сѧть до́мꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ.
3 For the Lord Yahweh says: “The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went out one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
4 Поне́же сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь къ до́мꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ: взыщи́те менѐ и҆ поживетѐ:
4 For Yahweh says to the house of Israel: “Seek me, and you will live;
5 а҆ не взыскꙋ́йте веѳи́лѧ и҆ въ галга́лꙋ не входи́те и҆ ко кла́дѧзю клѧ́твы не ходи́те, ꙗ҆́кѡ галга́ла плѣнѧ́ема плѣни́тсѧ, и҆ веѳи́ль бꙋ́детъ а҆́ки не бы́въ.
5 but don’t seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and don’t pass to Beersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
6 Взыщи́те гдⷭ҇а и҆ поживетѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да не возжже́тсѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́гнь до́мъ і҆ѡ́сифовъ, и҆ поѧ́стъ є҆го̀, и҆ не бꙋ́детъ ᲂу҆гаша́ющагѡ до́мꙋ і҆и҃лева.
6 Seek Yahweh, and you will live, lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.
7 Гдⷭ҇ь творѧ́й въ высотꙋ̀ сꙋ́дъ и҆ пра́вдꙋ на землѝ положѝ:
7 You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth!
8 творѧ́й всѧ̑ и҆ претворѧ́ѧй, и҆ ѡ҆браща́ѧй во ᲂу҆́тро сѣ́нь сме́ртнꙋю и҆ де́нь въ но́щь помрача́ѧй, призыва́ѧй во́дꙋ морскꙋ́ю и҆ разлива́ѧй ю҆̀ на лицѐ землѝ:
8 Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name,
9 гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ вседержи́тель и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀: раздѣлѧ́ѧй сокрꙋше́нїе на крѣ́пость и҆ бѣ́дство на тверды́ню наводѧ́й.
9 who brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress.
10 Возненави́дѣша ᲂу҆ вра́тъ наказꙋ́ющаго, и҆ сло́вомъ првⷣнымъ возгнꙋша́шасѧ.
10 They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.
11 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди поне́же пѧстьмѝ бїе́те ᲂу҆бо́гихъ и҆ да́ры и҆збра̑нны прїѧ́сте ѿ ни́хъ: до́мы ᲂу҆кра́шєны согради́сте, и҆ не вселите́сѧ въ ни́хъ, вїногра́ды вожделѣ̑нны насади́сте, и҆ не и҆́мате пи́ти вїна̀ ѿ ни́хъ.
11 Therefore, because you trample on the poor and take taxes from him of wheat, you have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.
12 Ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣхъ мнѡ́га нечє́стїѧ ва̑ша, и҆ крѣ́пцы грѣсѝ ва́ши, попира́юще првⷣнаго, прїе́млюще премѣ̑ны и҆ ᲂу҆бѡ́гїѧ ѿ вра́тъ ѿрѣѧ́юще.
12 For I know how many are your offenses, and how great are your sins— you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn away the needy in the courts.
13 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди смы́слѧй въ то̀ вре́мѧ премолчи́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вре́мѧ лꙋка́во є҆́сть.
13 Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.
14 Взыщи́те добра̀, а҆ не ѕла̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да поживетѐ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ та́кѡ съ ва́ми гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ вседержи́тель, ꙗ҆́коже рѣ́сте:
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say.
15 возненави́дѣхомъ ѕла̑ѧ и҆ возлюби́хомъ дѡ́браѧ: и҆ возста́вите ᲂу҆ вра́тъ сꙋ́дъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да поми́лꙋетъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ вседержи́тель ѡ҆ста̑вшаѧ і҆ѡ́сифѡва.
15 Hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.”
16 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ вседержи́тель: на всѣ́хъ сто́гнахъ (бꙋ́детъ) пла́чь, и҆ на всѣ́хъ пꙋте́хъ рече́тсѧ: ᲂу҆вы̀ лю́тѣ, ᲂу҆вы̀ лю́тѣ! призове́тсѧ земледѣ́лецъ на пла́чь и҆ на рыда́нїе, и҆ на вѣ́дѧщихъ пла́чь,
16 Therefore Yahweh, the God of Armies, the Lord, says: “Wailing will be in all the wide ways. They will say in all the streets, ‘Alas! Alas!’ They will call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing.
17 и҆ на всѣ́хъ пꙋте́хъ пла́чь, поне́же пройдꙋ̀ средѣ̀ тебє̀, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.
17 In all vineyards there will be wailing, for I will pass through the middle of you,” says Yahweh.
18 Оу҆вы̀ лю́тѣ жела́ющымъ днѐ гдⷭ҇нѧ! вскꙋ́ю ва́мъ се́й де́нь гдⷭ҇ень; се́й бо є҆́сть тьма̀, а҆ не свѣ́тъ:
18 “Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh! Why do you long for the day of Yahweh? It is darkness, and not light.
19 ꙗ҆́коже а҆́ще ᲂу҆бѣжи́тъ человѣ́къ ѿ лица̀ льва̀, и҆ нападе́тъ на́нь медвѣ́дица: и҆ вско́читъ въ до́мъ и҆ ѡ҆пре́тсѧ рꙋка́ма свои́ма ѡ҆ стѣ́нꙋ, и҆ ᲂу҆сѣ́кнетъ є҆го̀ ѕмїѧ̀.
19 As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.
20 Нѣ́сть ли де́нь гдⷭ҇ень тьма̀, а҆ не свѣ́тъ, и҆ мгла̀ не и҆мꙋ́щи свѣ́та своегѡ̀;
20 Won’t the day of Yahweh be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 Возненави́дѣхъ и҆ ѿверго́хъ пра́здники ва́шѧ и҆ не ѡ҆бонѧ́ю же́ртвъ въ со́нмѣхъ ва́шихъ:
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.
22 занѐ а҆́ще принесе́те мѝ всесожжє́нїѧ и҆ жє́ртвы ва́шѧ, не прїимꙋ̀, и҆ на спаси́тєльнаѧ ꙗ҆вле́нїѧ ва́шегѡ не призрю̀.
22 Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
23 Ѿста́ви ѿ менє̀ гла́съ пѣ́сней твои́хъ, и҆ пѣ́сни ѻ҆рга́нѡвъ твои́хъ не послꙋ́шаю.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24 И҆ пова́литсѧ ꙗ҆́коже вода̀ сꙋ́дъ, и҆ пра́вда ꙗ҆́коже водоте́ча непрохо́дна.
24 But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
25 Є҆да̀ заколє́нїѧ и҆ трє́бы принесо́сте мѝ въ пꙋсты́ни лѣ́тъ четы́редесѧть, до́ме і҆и҃левъ;
25 “Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel?
26 И҆ воспрїѧ́сте ски́нїю моло́ховꙋ и҆ ѕвѣздꙋ̀ бо́га ва́шегѡ ремфа́на, ѡ҆́бразы, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́сте себѣ̀.
26 You also carried the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
27 И҆ преселю́ вы да́лѣе дама́ска, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: бг҃ъ вседержи́тель и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀.
27 Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,” says Yahweh, whose name is the God of Armies.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But God turned, and gave them up to worship the hosts of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets: O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to Me sacrifices and oblations for forty years in the wilderness?
I will seek Thee, that my soul may live. For my body liveth by my soul, and my soul liveth by Thee.

I am moreover restrained by the Prophet's saying, "Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time, for it is an evil time," a time when some trip up their neighbours' heels, some stamp on a man when he is down, and others clap their hands with joy, but there is not one to feel for the fallen and hold …

The day of the Lord is darkness and not light." A day of darkness for those who are worthy of darkness.
