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 Валтаса́ръ ца́рь сотворѝ ве́черю ве́лїю вельмо́жамъ свои̑мъ ты́сѧщи мꙋжє́мъ,
1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 пред̾ ты́сѧщею же вїно̀, и҆ пїѧ̀ валтаса́ръ речѐ при вкꙋше́нїи вїна̀, є҆́же принестѝ сосꙋ́ды зла̑ты и҆ срє́брѧны, ꙗ҆̀же и҆знесѐ навꙋходоно́соръ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆з̾ хра́ма (гдⷭ҇а бг҃а), и҆́же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ да пїю́тъ въ ни́хъ ца́рь и҆ вельмѡ́жи є҆гѡ̀, и҆ налѡ́жницы є҆гѡ̀ и҆ возлежа́щыѧ (ѡ҆́крестъ) є҆гѡ̀.
2 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded that the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem be brought to him, that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink from them.
3 И҆ принесо́ша сосꙋ́ды златы̑ѧ и҆ срє́брѧныѧ, ꙗ҆̀же и҆знесѐ (навꙋходоно́соръ ца́рь) и҆з̾ хра́ма гдⷭ҇а бг҃а, и҆́же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: и҆ пїѧ́хꙋ и҆́ми ца́рь и҆ вельмѡ́жи є҆гѡ̀, и҆ налѡ́жницы є҆гѡ̀ и҆ возлежа́щыѧ (ѡ҆́крестъ) є҆гѡ̀:
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of God’s house which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.
4 пїѧ́хꙋ вїно̀ и҆ похвали́ша бо́ги златы̑ѧ и҆ срє́брѧныѧ, и҆ мѣ̑дѧныѧ и҆ желѣ̑зныѧ, и҆ дрєвѧ́ныѧ и҆ ка́мєнныѧ, а҆ бг҃а вѣ́чнаго не благослови́ша, и҆мꙋ́щаго вла́сть дꙋ́ха и҆́хъ.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 Въ то́й ча́съ и҆зыдо́ша пе́рсты рꙋкѝ человѣ́чи и҆ писа́хꙋ проти́вꙋ лампа́ды на повапле́нїи стѣны̀ до́мꙋ царе́ва, и҆ ца́рь ви́дѧше пе́рсты рꙋкѝ пи́шꙋщїѧ.
5 In the same hour, the fingers of a man’s hand came out and wrote near the lamp stand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace. The king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Тогда̀ царю̀ зра́къ и҆змѣни́сѧ, и҆ размышлє́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ смꙋща́хꙋ є҆го̀, и҆ соꙋ́зы чре́слъ є҆гѡ̀ разслаблѧ́хꙋсѧ, и҆ кѡлѣ́на є҆гѡ̀ сража́стасѧ:
6 Then the king’s face was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs were loosened, and his knees struck one against another.
7 и҆ возопѝ ца́рь си́лою, є҆́же ввестѝ волхвѡ́въ, халде́євъ, газари́нѡвъ: и҆ речѐ ца́рь мꙋ̑дрымъ вавѷлѡ́нскимъ: и҆́же прочте́тъ писа́нїе сїѐ и҆ ра́зꙋмъ є҆гѡ̀ возвѣсти́тъ мнѣ̀, то́й въ багрѧни́цꙋ ѡ҆блече́тсѧ, и҆ гри́вна злата́ѧ на вы́ю є҆гѡ̀, и҆ тре́тїй во ца́рствѣ мое́мъ ѡ҆блада́ти на́чнетъ.
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and shows me its interpretation shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
8 И҆ вхожда́хꙋ всѝ мꙋ́дрїи ко царю̀ и҆ не можа́хꙋ писа́нїѧ прочестѝ, ни ра́зꙋма царю̀ возвѣсти́ти.
8 Then all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, and couldn’t make known to the king the interpretation.
9 Ца́рь же валтаса́ръ возмѧте́сѧ, и҆ зра́къ є҆гѡ̀ и҆змѣни́сѧ на не́мъ, и҆ вельмѡ́жи є҆гѡ̀ смꙋща́хꙋсѧ.
9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
10 И҆ вни́де цари́ца въ до́мъ пи́рный, и҆ речѐ цари́ца: царю̀ во вѣ́ки живѝ: да не смꙋща́ютъ тебѐ размышлє́нїѧ твоѧ̑, и҆ зра́къ тво́й да не и҆змѣнѧ́етсѧ:
10 The queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house. The queen spoke and said, “O king, live forever; don’t let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.
11 є҆́сть мꙋ́жъ во ца́рствѣ твое́мъ, въ не́мже дх҃ъ бж҃їй: и҆ во дни̑ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ бо́дрость и҆ смы́слъ ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ въ не́мъ, и҆ ца́рь навꙋходоно́соръ ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й кнѧ́зѧ поста́ви є҆го̀ волхвѡ́мъ, ѡ҆баѧ́телємъ, халде́ємъ, газари́нѡмъ,
11 There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. The king, Nebuchadnezzar, your father—yes, the king, your father—made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers,
12 ꙗ҆́кѡ дꙋ́хъ преиз̾ѻби́льный (бѧ́ше) въ не́мъ, и҆ премꙋ́дрость и҆ смы́слъ (ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ) въ не́мъ, сказꙋ́ѧ сны̀ и҆ возвѣща́ѧ сокровє́ннаѧ и҆ разрѣша́ѧ соꙋ́зы, данїи́лъ, и҆ ца́рь наречѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ валтаса́ръ: нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо да призове́тсѧ, и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ возвѣсти́тъ тебѣ̀.
12 because an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting of dreams, showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.”
13 Тогда̀ данїи́лъ введе́нъ бы́сть пред̾ царѧ̀. И҆ речѐ ца́рь данїи́лꙋ: ты́ ли є҆сѝ данїи́лъ, ѿ сынѡ́въ плѣ̑нникъ і҆ꙋде́йскихъ, и҆̀хже приведѐ навꙋходоно́соръ ца́рь ѻ҆те́цъ мо́й;
13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Are you that Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
14 слы́шахъ ѡ҆ тебѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ дх҃ъ бж҃їй въ тебѣ̀, и҆ бо́дрость и҆ смы́слъ и҆ премꙋ́дрость и҆з̾ѻби́льна ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ въ тебѣ̀:
14 I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you and that light, understanding, and excellent wisdom are found in you.
15 и҆ нн҃ѣ внидо́ша пред̾ мѧ̀ мꙋ́дрїи, волсвѝ, газари́ни, да писа́нїе сїѐ прочтꙋ́тъ и҆ сказа̑нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ возвѣстѧ́тъ мѝ, и҆ не мого́ша возвѣсти́ти мнѣ̀:
15 Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.
16 а҆́зъ же слы́шахъ ѡ҆ тебѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ мо́жеши сꙋды̀ сказа́ти: нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо а҆́ще возмо́жеши писа́нїе сїѐ прочестѝ и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ возвѣсти́ти мнѣ̀, въ багрѧни́цꙋ ѡ҆блече́шисѧ, и҆ гри́вна злата́ѧ на вы́и твое́й бꙋ́детъ, и҆ тре́тїй во ца́рствѣ мое́мъ ѡ҆блада́ти бꙋ́деши.
16 But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations and dissolve doubts. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
17 Тогда̀ ѿвѣща̀ данїи́лъ и҆ речѐ пред̾ царе́мъ: даѧ̑нїѧ: твоѧ̑ съ тобо́ю да бꙋ́дꙋтъ, и҆ да́ръ до́мꙋ твоегѡ̀ и҆но́мꙋ да́ждь, а҆́зъ же писа́нїе прочтꙋ̀ царю̀ и҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ возвѣщꙋ̀ тебѣ̀.
17 Then Daniel answered before the king, “Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 Царю̀! бг҃ъ вы́шнїй ца́рство и҆ вели́чество, и҆ че́сть и҆ сла́вꙋ дадѐ навꙋходоно́сорꙋ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀,
18 “To you, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.
19 и҆ ѿ вели́чества, є҆́же є҆мꙋ̀ дадѐ, всѝ лю́дїе, племена̀, ꙗ҆зы́цы бѧ́хꙋ трепе́щꙋще и҆ боѧ́щесѧ ѿ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀: и҆̀хже хотѧ́ше ᲂу҆бива́ше, и҆ и҆̀хже хотѧ́ше бїѧ́ше, и҆ и҆̀хже хотѧ́ше возвыша́ше, и҆ и҆̀хже хотѧ́ше, то́й смирѧ́ше:
19 Because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. He killed whom he wanted to, and he kept alive whom he wanted to. He raised up whom he wanted to, and he put down whom he wanted to.
20 и҆ є҆гда̀ вознесе́сѧ се́рдце є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆тверди́сѧ дꙋ́хъ є҆гѡ̀ є҆́же презо́рствовати, сведе́сѧ ѿ престо́ла ца́рства, и҆ сла́ва и҆ че́сть ѿѧ́сѧ ѿ негѡ̀,
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.
21 и҆ ѿ человѣ̑къ ѿгна́сѧ, и҆ се́рдце є҆гѡ̀ со ѕвѣрьмѝ ѿда́сѧ, и҆ житїѐ є҆гѡ̀ со ди́вїими ѻ҆слы̑, и҆ траво́ю а҆́ки вола̀ пита́хꙋ є҆го̀, и҆ ѿ росы̀ небе́сныѧ ѡ҆роси́сѧ тѣ́ло є҆гѡ̀, до́ндеже ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ владѣ́етъ бг҃ъ вы́шнїй ца́рствомъ человѣ́ческимъ, и҆ є҆мꙋ́же хо́щетъ, да́стъ є҆̀.
21 He was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.
22 И҆ ты̀ ᲂу҆̀бо, сы́не є҆гѡ̀ валтаса́ре, не смири́лъ є҆сѝ се́рдца твоегѡ̀ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ: не всѧ̑ ли сїѧ̑ вѣ́далъ є҆сѝ;
22 “You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
23 но на гдⷭ҇а бг҃а нбⷭ҇наго возне́слсѧ є҆сѝ, и҆ сосꙋ́ды хра́ма є҆гѡ̀ принесо́ша пред̾ тебѐ, ты́ же и҆ вельмѡ́жи твоѝ, и҆ налѡ́жницы твоѧ̑ и҆ возлежа́щыѧ (ѡ҆́крестъ) тебє̀, вїно̀ пїѧ́сте и҆́ми: и҆ бо́ги златы̑ѧ и҆ срє́брѧныѧ, и҆ мѣ̑дѧныѧ и҆ желѣ̑зныѧ, и҆ ка́мєнныѧ и҆ древѧ̑ныѧ, и҆̀же ни ви́дѧтъ, ни слы́шатъ, ни разꙋмѣ́ютъ, похвали́лъ є҆сѝ, а҆ бг҃а, ᲂу҆ негѡ́же дыха́нїе твоѐ въ рꙋцѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ всѝ пꙋтїѐ твоѝ, того̀ не просла́вилъ є҆сѝ.
23 but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.
24 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѿ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀ по́слани бы́ша пе́рсты рꙋчні́и и҆ писа́нїе сїѐ вчини́ша.
24 Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
25 Се́ же є҆́сть писа́нїе вчине́ное: манѝ, ѳеке́л, фа́рес.
25 “This is the writing that was inscribed: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’
26 Сѐ сказа́нїе глаго́ла: манѝ, и҆змѣ́ри бг҃ъ ца́рство твоѐ и҆ сконча̀ є҆̀:
26 “This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.
27 ѳеке́л, поста́висѧ въ мѣ́рилѣхъ и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ лиша́емо:
27 TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
28 фа́рес, раздѣли́сѧ ца́рство твоѐ и҆ даде́сѧ ми́дѡмъ и҆ пе́рсѡмъ.
28 PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
29 И҆ речѐ валтаса́ръ: (ѡ҆блецы́те и҆̀). И҆ ѡ҆блеко́ша данїи́ла въ багрѧни́цꙋ, и҆ гри́внꙋ златꙋ́ю возложи́ша на вы́ю є҆гѡ̀, и҆ проповѣ́да ѡ҆ не́мъ, є҆́же бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀ кнѧ́зю тре́тїемꙋ во ца́рствѣ є҆гѡ̀.
29 Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 Валтаса́ра царѧ̀ халде́йска ᲂу҆би́ша въ тꙋ̀ но́щь,
30 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.
31 да́рїй же ми́дѧнинъ прїѧ̀ ца́рство, сы́й шести́десѧти и҆ двою̀ лѣ́тъ.
31 Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
