Notes on this text (3)

As in the Slavonic Bible, Esther includes the Greek additions within its ten chapters, and Daniel includes the Song of the Three Young Men (3:24–90), Susanna (chapter 13) and Bel and the Dragon (chapter 14); Psalm 151 follows Psalm 150.
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.

Daniel is not in PT1904.

1 Въ лѣ́то тре́тїе кѵ́ра царѧ̀ пе́рсскагѡ, сло́во ѿкры́сѧ данїи́лꙋ, є҆мꙋ́же прозва́сѧ и҆́мѧ валтаса́ръ: и҆́стинно же сло́во и҆ си́ла вели́ка и҆ ра́зꙋмъ даде́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀ въ видѣ́нїи.

1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the message was true, even a great warfare. He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.

2 Въ ты̑ѧ дни̑ а҆́зъ данїи́лъ бѣ́хъ рыда́ѧ трѝ седми̑цы дні́й:

2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.

3 хлѣ́ба вожделѣ́ннагѡ не ꙗ҆до́хъ, и҆ мѧ́со и҆ вїно̀ не вни́де во ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑, и҆ ма́стїю не пома́захсѧ до и҆сполне́нїѧ трїе́хъ седми́цъ дні́й.

3 I ate no pleasant food. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I didn’t anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.

4 Въ де́нь два́десѧть четве́ртый пе́рвагѡ мцⷭ҇а а҆́зъ бѣ́хъ бли́з̾ рѣкѝ вели́кїѧ, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть ті́гръ є҆ддеке́ль,

4 In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,

5 и҆ воздвиго́хъ ѻ҆́чи моѝ и҆ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сѐ, мꙋ́жъ є҆ди́нъ ѡ҆блече́нъ въ ри́зꙋ льнѧ́нꙋ, и҆ чрє́сла є҆гѡ̀ препоѧ̑сана зла́томъ свѣ́тлымъ:

5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure gold of Uphaz.

6 тѣ́ло же є҆гѡ̀ а҆́ки ѳарсі́съ, лице́ же є҆гѡ̀ а҆́ки зрѣ́нїе мо́лнїи, ѻ҆́чи же є҆гѡ̀ а҆́ки свѣщы̀ ѻ҆́гнєны, и҆ мы̑шцы є҆гѡ̀ и҆ го́лєни а҆́ки зра́къ мѣ́ди блеща́щїѧсѧ, гла́съ же слове́съ є҆гѡ̀ а҆́ки гла́съ наро́да.

6 His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.

7 И҆ ви́дѣхъ а҆́зъ данїи́лъ є҆ди́нъ ꙗ҆вле́нїе, а҆ мꙋ́жїе, и҆̀же со мно́ю, не ви́дѣша ꙗ҆вле́нїѧ, но ᲂу҆́жасъ вели́кїй нападѐ на ни́хъ, и҆ ѿбѣ́гнꙋша во стра́сѣ.

7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.

8 А҆́зъ же ѡ҆ста́хъ є҆ди́нъ и҆ ви́дѣхъ ꙗ҆вле́нїе вели́кое сїѐ, и҆ не ѡ҆ста̀ во мнѣ̀ крѣ́пость, и҆ сла́ва моѧ̀ ѡ҆брати́сѧ въ разсы́панїе, и҆ не ᲂу҆держа́хъ крѣ́пости.

8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.

9 И҆ слы́шахъ гла́съ слове́съ є҆гѡ̀. И҆ внегда̀ слы́шахъ, бѣ́хъ сокрꙋше́нъ, лице́ же моѐ на землѝ:

9 Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.

10 и҆ сѐ, рꙋка̀ прикаса́ющисѧ мнѣ̀, и҆ возста́ви мѧ̀ на кѡлѣ́на моѧ̑ и҆ на дла̑ни рꙋ́къ мои́хъ.

10 Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.

11 И҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀: данїи́ле, мꙋ́жꙋ жела́нїй, разꙋмѣ́й во словесѣ́хъ си́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же а҆́зъ глаго́лю къ тебѣ̀, и҆ станѝ на стоѧ́нїи свое́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нн҃ѣ по́сланъ є҆́смь къ тебѣ̀. И҆ є҆гда̀ возглаго́ла сло́во сїѐ ко мнѣ̀, воста́хъ тре́петенъ.

11 He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.

12 И҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀: не бо́йсѧ, данїи́ле, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ пе́рвагѡ днѐ, во́ньже по́далъ є҆сѝ се́рдце твоѐ, є҆́же разꙋмѣ́ти и҆ трꙋди́тисѧ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ бг҃омъ твои́мъ, ᲂу҆слы̑шана бы́ша словеса̀ твоѧ̑, а҆́зъ же прїидо́хъ во словесѣ́хъ твои́хъ:

12 Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.

13 кнѧ́зь же ца́рства пе́рсскагѡ стоѧ́ше проти́вꙋ мнѣ̀ два́десѧть и҆ є҆ди́нъ де́нь: и҆ сѐ мїхаи́лъ є҆ди́нъ ѿ старѣ́йшинъ пе́рвыхъ прїи́де помощѝ мнѣ̀, и҆ того̀ ѡ҆ста́вихъ та́мѡ со кнѧ́земъ ца́рства пе́рсскагѡ,

13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia.

14 и҆ прїидо́хъ сказа́ти тебѣ̀, є҆ли̑ка срѧ́щꙋтъ люді́й твои́хъ въ послѣ̑днїѧ дни̑, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆щѐ видѣ́нїе на дни̑.

14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”

15 И҆ є҆гда̀ глаго́ла со мно́ю по словесє́мъ си̑мъ, да́хъ лицѐ моѐ на зе́млю и҆ ᲂу҆мили́хсѧ.

15 When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and was mute.

16 И҆ сѐ, а҆́ки подо́бїе сы́на человѣ́ча прикоснꙋ́сѧ ᲂу҆стна́мъ мои̑мъ, и҆ ѿверзо́хъ ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑ и҆ глаго́лахъ, и҆ рѣ́хъ ко стоѧ́щемꙋ предо мно́ю: го́споди, въ видѣ́нїи твое́мъ ѡ҆брати́сѧ ᲂу҆тро́ба моѧ̀ во мнѣ̀, и҆ не и҆мѣ́хъ си́лы:

16 Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.

17 и҆ ка́кѡ возмо́жетъ ра́бъ тво́й го́споди, глаго́лати съ го́сподемъ си́мъ мои́мъ; а҆́зъ бо и҆знемого́хъ, и҆ ѿнн҃ѣ не ста́нетъ во мнѣ̀ крѣ́пость, (си́ла бо) и҆ дыха́нїе не ѡ҆ста̀ во мнѣ̀.

17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”

18 И҆ приложѝ, и҆ прикоснꙋ́сѧ мнѣ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ зра́къ человѣ́чь, и҆ ᲂу҆крѣпи́ мѧ,

18 Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.

19 и҆ рече́ ми: не бо́йсѧ, мꙋ́жꙋ жела́нїй, ми́ръ тебѣ̀: мꙋжа́йсѧ и҆ крѣпи́сѧ И҆ є҆гда̀ глаго́ла со мно́ю, ᲂу҆крѣпи́хсѧ и҆ рѣ́хъ: да глаго́летъ госпо́дь мо́й ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆крѣпи́лъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ.

19 He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”

20 И҆ речѐ: вѣ́си ли, почто̀ прїидо́хъ къ тебѣ̀; и҆ нн҃ѣ возвращꙋ́сѧ, є҆́же ра́тисѧ со кнѧ́земъ пе́рсскимъ: а҆́зъ же и҆схожда́хъ, кнѧ́зь же є҆́ллинскїй грѧдѧ́ше:

20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.

21 но да возвѣщꙋ́ ти вчине́ное въ писа́нїи и҆́стины, и҆ нѣ́сть ни є҆ди́нагѡ помога́ющагѡ со мно́ю ѡ҆ си́хъ, но то́чїю мїхаи́лъ кнѧ́зь ва́шъ.

21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these but Michael your prince.

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).

Quotes verse 10:6 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XII)
Gabriel appeared, and Daniel fell down: and of what nature or in what guise was he that appeared? His countenance was like lightning; not like the sun: and his eyes as lamps of fire, not as a furnace of fire: and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude, not as the voice of twelve legions …
