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.

1 А҆́зъ навꙋходоно́соръ ѡ҆би́лꙋѧй бѣ́хъ въ домꙋ̀ мое́мъ и҆ благоцвѣты́й на престо́лѣ мое́мъ:
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.
2 со́нъ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ ᲂу҆страши́ мѧ, и҆ смѧто́хсѧ на ло́жи мое́мъ, и҆ видѣ̑нїѧ главы̀ моеѧ̀ смѧто́ша мѧ̀:
2 It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked toward me.
3 и҆ мно́ю положи́сѧ повелѣ́нїе, привестѝ пред̾ мѧ̀ всѧ̑ мꙋ́жы мꙋ́дрыѧ вавѷлѡ̑нскїѧ, да сказа́нїе сна̀ возвѣстѧ́тъ мнѣ̀.
3 How great are his signs! How mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. His dominion is from generation to generation.
4 И҆ вхожда́хꙋ ѡ҆баѧ́телїе, волсвѝ, газари́ни, халде́є, и҆ со́нъ а҆́зъ рѣ́хъ пред̾ ни́ми, и҆ сказа́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ не возвѣсти́ша мѝ,
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
5 до́ндеже вни́де (пред̾ мѧ̀) данїи́лъ, є҆мꙋ́же и҆́мѧ валтаса́ръ, по и҆́мени бо́га моегѡ̀, и҆́же дх҃а бж҃їѧ ст҃а и҆́мать въ себѣ̀, и҆ со́нъ пред̾ ни́мъ рѣ́хъ:
5 I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
6 валтаса́ре, кнѧ́же ѡ҆баѧ́телей, є҆го́же а҆́зъ разꙋмѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ дх҃ъ бж҃їй ст҃ы́й и҆́маши, и҆ всѧ́каѧ та́йна не и҆знемога́етъ пред̾ тобо́ю, слы́ши видѣ́нїе сна̀ моегѡ̀, є҆́же ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ повѣ́ждь мнѣ̀.
6 Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
7 И҆ видѣ́нїе главы̀ моеѧ̀ на ло́жи мое́мъ зрѣ́хъ, и҆ сѐ, дре́во средѣ̀ землѝ, и҆ высота̀ є҆гѡ̀ вели́ка:
7 Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in; and I told them the dream, but they didn’t make known to me its interpretation.
8 и҆ возвели́чисѧ дре́во то̀ и҆ ᲂу҆крѣпи́сѧ, и҆ высота̀ є҆гѡ̀ досѧза́ше до небесѐ, и҆ величина̀ є҆гѡ̀ до конє́цъ землѝ всеѧ̀,
8 But at last, Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. I told the dream before him, saying,
9 ли́ствїе є҆гѡ̀ прекра́сное, и҆ пло́дъ є҆гѡ̀ мно́гъ, и҆ пи́ща всѣ́хъ въ не́мъ, и҆ под̾ ни́мъ вселѧ́хꙋсѧ всѝ ѕвѣ́рїе ди́вїи, и҆ въ вѣ́твехъ є҆гѡ̀ живѧ́хꙋ (всѧ̑) пти̑цы небє́сныѧ, и҆ ѿ негѡ̀ пита́шесѧ всѧ́ка пло́ть.
9 “Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.
10 Ви́дѣхъ во снѣ̀ но́щїю на ло́жи мое́мъ, и҆ сѐ, бо́дрый и҆ ст҃ы́й ѿ нб҃сѐ сни́де
10 These were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and behold, a tree in the middle of the earth; and its height was great.
11 и҆ возгласѝ крѣ́пцѣ и҆ та́кѡ речѐ: посѣцы́те дре́во и҆ ѡ҆бі́йте вѣ̑тви є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѿтрѧси́те ли́ствїе є҆гѡ̀ и҆ разсы́плите пло́дъ є҆гѡ̀, да позы́блютсѧ ѕвѣ́рїе под̾ ни́мъ и҆ пти̑цы съ вѣ́твїй є҆гѡ̀:
11 The tree grew and was strong. Its height reached to the sky and its sight to the end of all the earth.
12 то́чїю ѿра́сль коре́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ въ землѝ ѡ҆ста́вите, и҆ во ᲂу҆́зѣ желѣ́знѣ и҆ мѣ́днѣ, и҆ во ѕла́цѣ внѣ́шнемъ и҆ въ росѣ̀ небе́снѣй всели́тсѧ, и҆ со ѕвѣрьмѝ (ди́вїими) ча́сть є҆гѡ̀ во травѣ̀ земнѣ́й:
12 Its leaves were beautiful, and it had much fruit, and in it was food for all. The animals of the field had shade under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
13 се́рдце є҆гѡ̀ ѿ человѣ̑къ и҆змѣни́тсѧ, и҆ се́рдце ѕвѣри́но да́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ се́дмь време́нъ и҆змѣнѧ́тсѧ над̾ ни́мъ:
13 “I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a holy watcher came down from the sky.
14 и҆зрече́нїемъ бо́драгѡ сло́во, и҆ глаго́лъ ст҃ы́хъ проше́нїе: да ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ живꙋ́щїи, ꙗ҆́кѡ владѣ́етъ вы́шнїй ца́рствомъ человѣ́ческимъ, и҆ є҆мꙋ́же восхо́щетъ, да́стъ є҆̀, и҆ ᲂу҆ничтоже́нное человѣ́кѡвъ возста́витъ над̾ ни́мъ.
14 He cried aloud and said this: ‘Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches! Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit! Let the animals get away from under it and the birds from its branches.
15 Се́й со́нъ, є҆го́же ви́дѣхъ а҆́зъ навꙋходоно́соръ ца́рь: ты́ же, валтаса́ре, сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ повѣ́ждь, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѝ мꙋ́дрїи ца́рства моегѡ̀ не мо́гꙋтъ сказа́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ повѣ́дати мнѣ̀, ты́ же, данїи́ле, мо́жеши, ꙗ҆́кѡ дх҃ъ бж҃їй ст҃ъ въ тебѣ̀.
15 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth.
16 Тогда̀ данїи́лъ, є҆мꙋ́же и҆́мѧ валтаса́ръ, ᲂу҆жасе́сѧ а҆́ки на є҆ди́нъ ча́съ, и҆ размышлє́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ смꙋща́хꙋ є҆го̀. И҆ ѿвѣща̀ ца́рь и҆ речѐ: валтаса́ре, со́нъ мо́й и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ да не смꙋща́етъ тебѐ. И҆ ѿвѣща̀ валтаса́ръ и҆ речѐ: господи́не, да бꙋ́детъ со́нъ се́й ненави́дѧщымъ тѧ̀, и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ врагѡ́мъ твои̑мъ.
16 Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let an animal’s heart be given to him. Then let seven times pass over him.
17 Дре́во, є҆́же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ возвели́чившеесѧ и҆ ᲂу҆крѣпи́вшеесѧ, є҆гѡ́же высота̀ досѧза́ше до небесѐ и҆ величина̀ є҆гѡ̀ на всю̀ зе́млю,
17 “‘The sentence is by the decree of the watchers and the demand by the word of the holy ones, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will, and sets up over it the lowest of men.’
18 и҆ ли́ствїе є҆гѡ̀ благоцвѣ́тное и҆ пло́дъ є҆гѡ̀ мно́гъ, и҆ пи́ща всѣ̑мъ въ не́мъ, под̾ ни́мъ живѧ́хꙋ ѕвѣ́рїе ди́вїи, и҆ въ вѣ́твехъ є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆гнѣздѧ́хꙋсѧ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ:
18 “This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”
19 ты̀ є҆сѝ, царю̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ возвели́чилсѧ є҆сѝ и҆ ᲂу҆крѣпѣ́лъ, и҆ вели́чество твоѐ возвели́чисѧ и҆ досѧжѐ небесѐ, и҆ вла́сть твоѧ̀ до конє́цъ землѝ.
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered, “Belteshazzar, don’t let the dream or the interpretation trouble you.” Belteshazzar answered, “My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries.
20 И҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣ ца́рь бо́драго и҆ ст҃а́го сходѧ́ща съ небесѐ, и҆ речѐ: посѣцы́те дре́во и҆ разсы́плите є҆̀, то́чїю прониче́нїе коре́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ въ землѝ ѡ҆ста́вите, и҆ во ᲂу҆́зѣ желѣ́знѣ и҆ мѣ́дѧнѣ и҆ во ѕла́цѣ внѣ́шнемъ и҆ въ росѣ̀ небе́снѣй водвори́тсѧ, и҆ со ѕвѣрьмѝ ди́вїими ча́сть є҆гѡ̀, до́ндеже се́дмь време́нъ премѣнѧ́тсѧ над̾ ни́мъ:
20 The tree that you saw, which grew and was strong, whose height reached to the sky and its sight to all the earth;
21 сїѐ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀, царю̀, и҆ и҆зрече́нїе вы́шнѧгѡ є҆́сть, є҆́же приспѣ̀ на господи́на моего̀ царѧ̀:
21 whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit plentiful, and in it was food for all; under which the animals of the field lived, and on whose branches the birds of the sky had their habitation—
22 и҆зженꙋ́тъ тѧ̀ ѿ человѣ̑къ, и҆ съ ди́вїими ѕвѣрьмѝ бꙋ́детъ житїѐ твоѐ, и҆ траво́ю а҆́ки вола̀ напита́ютъ тѧ̀, и҆ ѿ росы̀ небе́сныѧ тѣ́ло твоѐ ѡ҆роси́тсѧ, и҆ се́дмь време́нъ и҆змѣнѧ́тсѧ над̾ тобо́ю, до́ндеже ᲂу҆вѣ́си, ꙗ҆́кѡ владѣ́етъ вы́шнїй ца́рствомъ человѣ́ческимъ, и҆ є҆мꙋ́же восхо́щетъ, да́стъ є҆̀.
22 it is you, O king, that have grown and become strong; for your greatness has grown, and reaches to the sky, and your dominion to the end of the earth.
23 А҆ є҆́же речѐ: ѡ҆ста́вите прониче́нїе коре́нїѧ дре́ва (въ землѝ): ца́рство твоѐ тебѣ̀ бꙋ́детъ, ѿне́лѣже ᲂу҆вѣ́си вла́сть нбⷭ҇нꙋю.
23 “Whereas the king saw a holy watcher coming down from the sky and saying, ‘Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him.’
24 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди, царю̀ совѣ́тъ мо́й да бꙋ́детъ тебѣ̀ ᲂу҆го́денъ, и҆ грѣхѝ твоѧ̑ ми́лостынѧми и҆скꙋпѝ и҆ непра̑вды твоѧ̑ щедро́тами ᲂу҆бо́гихъ: не́гли бꙋ́детъ долготерпѣли́въ грѣхѡ́мъ твои̑мъ бг҃ъ.
24 “This is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which has come on my lord the king:
25 Сїѧ̑ всѧ̑ постиго́ша навꙋходоно́сора царѧ̀.
25 You will be driven from men and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. You will be made to eat grass as oxen, and will be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.
26 По двоюна́десѧти мцⷭ҇ѣхъ въ домꙋ̀ ца́рства своегѡ̀, въ вавѷлѡ́нѣ бѣ̀ ходѧ̀,
26 Whereas it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom will be restored to you after you learn that Heaven rules.
27 ѿвѣща̀ ца́рь и҆ речѐ: нѣ́сть ли се́й вавѷлѡ́нъ вели́кїй, є҆го́же а҆́зъ согради́хъ въ до́мъ ца́рства, въ держа́вѣ крѣ́пости моеѧ̀, въ че́сть сла́вы моеѧ̀;
27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.”
28 Є҆щѐ сло́вꙋ сꙋ́щꙋ во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ карѧ̀, гла́съ съ небесѐ бы́сть: тебѣ̀ гл҃етсѧ, навꙋходоно́соре царю̀: ца́рство твоѐ пре́йде ѿ тебє̀,
28 All this came on the King Nebuchadnezzar.
29 и҆ ѿ человѣ̑къ ѿженꙋ́тъ тѧ̀, и҆ со ѕвѣрьмѝ ди́вїими житїѐ твоѐ, и҆ траво́ю а҆́ки вола̀ напита́ютъ тѧ̀ и҆ се́дмь време́нъ и҆змѣнѧ́тсѧ на тебѣ̀, до́ндеже ᲂу҆вѣ́си, ꙗ҆́кѡ владѣ́етъ вы́шнїй ца́рствомъ человѣ́ческимъ, и҆ є҆мꙋ́же восхо́щетъ, да́стъ є҆̀.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon.
30 Въ то́й ча́съ сло́во сконча́сѧ на царѝ навꙋходоно́сорѣ, и҆ ѿ человѣ̑къ ѿгна́сѧ, и҆ травꙋ̀ а҆́ки во́лъ ꙗ҆дѧ́ше, и҆ ѿ росы̀ небе́сныѧ тѣ́ло є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆роси́сѧ, до́ндеже вла́си є҆мꙋ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ львꙋ̀ возрасто́ша и҆ нѡ́гти є҆мꙋ̀ а҆́ки пти́цамъ.
30 The king spoke and said, “Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?”
31 И҆ по сконча́нїи тѣ́хъ дні́й, а҆́зъ навꙋходоно́соръ ѻ҆́чи своѝ на не́бо воздви́гъ, и҆ ᲂу҆́мъ мо́й ко мнѣ̀ возврати́сѧ, и҆ вы́шнѧго благослови́хъ, и҆ живꙋ́щаго во вѣ́ки похвали́хъ и҆ просла́вихъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вла́сть є҆гѡ̀ вла́сть вѣ́чна, и҆ црⷭ҇тво є҆гѡ̀ въ ро́ды и҆ ро́ды,
31 While the word was in the king’s mouth, a voice came from the sky, saying, “O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: ‘The kingdom has departed from you.
32 и҆ всѝ живꙋ́щїи на землѝ ни во что́же вмѣни́шасѧ, и҆ по во́ли свое́й твори́тъ въ си́лѣ нбⷭ҇нѣй и҆ въ селе́нїи земнѣ́мъ: и҆ нѣ́сть, и҆́же воспроти́витсѧ рꙋцѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ рече́тъ є҆мꙋ̀: что̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ;
32 You shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. You shall be made to eat grass like oxen. Seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.’”
33 Въ то̀ вре́мѧ ᲂу҆́мъ мо́й возврати́сѧ ко мнѣ̀, и҆ въ че́сть ца́рства моегѡ̀ прїидо́хъ, и҆ зра́къ мо́й возврати́сѧ ко мнѣ̀, и҆ нача̑льницы моѝ и҆ вельмѡ́жи моѝ и҆ска́хꙋ менѐ: и҆ въ ца́рствѣ мое́мъ ᲂу҆тверди́хсѧ, и҆ вели́чество и҆з̾ѻби́льнѣе приложи́сѧ мнѣ̀.
33 This was fulfilled the same hour on Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; and his body was wet with the dew of the sky until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.
34 Нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо а҆́зъ навꙋходоно́соръ хвалю̀ и҆ превозношꙋ̀ и҆ сла́влю цр҃ѧ̀ нбⷭ҇наго, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ̑ дѣла̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆́стинна, и҆ пꙋтїѐ є҆гѡ̀ сꙋдьбы̑, и҆ всѧ̑ ходѧ́щыѧ въ го́рдости мо́жетъ смири́ти.
34 At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever, for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation. 35 All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and no one can stop his hand, or ask him, “What are you doing?” 36 At the same time my understanding returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.

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).
… quencheth fire, so alms quencheth sin." Again it is written, "Shut up alms in the heart of a poor man, and it shall make supplication for thee before the Lord." Again it is written, "Hear, O king, my counsel, and redeem thy sins by alms." And many other testimonies of the Divine oracles are there, whereby it is shown that …

… think also that I have the Spirit of God," and again, "that good thing which was committed to thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us." And of Daniel it is fitting to say that "the Holy Spirit of God is in him," and similarly of men who are like these in virtue.

And what [of this], that he called him "Belteshazzar, the name of" his own "god"? Thus [it seems] they accounted their gods to be nothing wonderful, when he called even the captive thus; he who commands all men to worship the image, manifold and of various colors, and who adores the dragon.
