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 Въ лѣ́то тре́тїе ца́рства валтаса́ра царѧ̀ видѣ́нїе ꙗ҆ви́сѧ мнѣ̀, а҆́зъ данїи́лъ, по ꙗ҆́вльшемсѧ мнѣ̀ пре́жде.

1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.

2 И҆ бѣ́хъ въ сꙋ́сѣхъ гра́дѣ, и҆́же є҆́сть во странѣ̀ є҆ла́мстѣй, и҆ ви́дѣхъ въ видѣ́нїи, и҆ бѣ́хъ на ᲂу҆ва́лѣ,

2 I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.

3 и҆ воздвиго́хъ ѻ҆́чи моѝ и҆ ви́дѣхъ: и҆ сѐ, ѻ҆ве́нъ є҆ди́нъ стоѧ̀ пред̾ ᲂу҆ва́ломъ є҆мꙋ́же ро́зи, ро́зи же высо́цы, є҆ди́нъ же вы́шше дрꙋга́гѡ, и҆ вы́шшїй восхожда́ше послѣдѝ.

3 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram which had two horns stood before the river. The two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

4 И҆ ви́дѣхъ ѻ҆вна̀ бодꙋ́ща на за́падъ и҆ на сѣ́веръ, и҆ на ю҆́гъ и҆ на восто́къ: и҆ всѝ ѕвѣ́рїе не ста́нꙋтъ пред̾ ни́мъ, и҆ не бѣ̀ и҆збавлѧ́юща и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ сотворѝ по во́ли свое́й, и҆ возвели́чисѧ.

4 I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.

5 А҆́зъ же бѣ́хъ размышлѧ́ѧ, и҆ сѐ козе́лъ ѿ ко́зъ и҆дѧ́ше ѿ лі́ва на лицѐ всеѧ̀ землѝ и҆ не бѣ̀ прикаса́ѧсѧ землѝ, и҆ козлꙋ̀ томꙋ̀ ро́гъ ви́димь междꙋ̀ ѻ҆чи́ма є҆гѡ̀:

5 As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

6 и҆ прїи́де до ѻ҆вна̀ и҆мꙋ́щагѡ рога̀ є҆го́же ви́дѣхъ стоѧ́ща пред̾ ᲂу҆ва́ломъ, и҆ течѐ къ немꙋ̀ въ си́лѣ крѣ́пости своеѧ̀.

6 He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.

7 И҆ ви́дѣхъ є҆го̀ доходѧ́ща до ѻ҆вна̀, и҆ разсвирѣ́пѣ на него̀, и҆ поразѝ ѻ҆вна̀, и҆ сокрꙋшѝ ѻ҆́ба рѡ́га є҆гѡ̀: и҆ не бѣ̀ си́лы ѻ҆внꙋ̀, є҆́же ста́ти проти́вꙋ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ пове́рже є҆го̀ на зе́млю и҆ попра̀ є҆го̀, и҆ не бѣ̀ и҆збавлѧ́ѧй ѻ҆вна̀ ѿ рꙋкѝ є҆гѡ̀.

7 I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.

8 И҆ козе́лъ ко́зїй возвели́чисѧ до ѕѣла̀: и҆ внегда̀ ᲂу҆крѣпи́сѧ, сокрꙋши́сѧ ро́гъ є҆гѡ̀ вели́кїй, и҆ взыдо́ша дрꙋзі́и четы́ри ро́зи под̾ ни́мъ, по четы́ремъ вѣ́трѡмъ небє́снымъ:

8 The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky.

9 и҆ ѿ є҆ди́нагѡ и҆́хъ взы́де ро́гъ є҆ди́нъ крѣ́покъ, и҆ возвели́чисѧ вельмѝ къ ю҆́гꙋ и҆ къ восто́кꙋ и҆ къ си́лѣ,

9 Out of one of them came out a little horn which grew exceedingly great—toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.

10 и҆ возвели́чисѧ да́же до си́лы нбⷭ҇ныѧ: и҆ сотворѝ па́сти на зе́млю ѿ си́лы нбⷭ҇ныѧ и҆ ѿ ѕвѣ́здъ, и҆ попра̀ ѧ҆̀:

10 It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground and trampled on them.

11 и҆ до́ндеже а҆рхїстрати́гъ и҆зба́витъ плѣ́нники, и҆ є҆гѡ̀ ра́ди же́ртва смѧте́сѧ, и҆ благопоспѣши́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ ст҃о́е ѡ҆пꙋстѣ́етъ:

11 Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

12 и҆ даде́сѧ на же́ртвꙋ грѣ́хъ, и҆ пове́ржесѧ пра́вда на зе́млю: и҆ сотворѝ, и҆ благопоспѣши́сѧ.

12 The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.

13 И҆ слы́шахъ є҆ди́нагѡ ст҃а́гѡ глаго́люща. И҆ речѐ є҆ди́нъ ст҃ы́й дрꙋго́мꙋ нѣ́коемꙋ глаго́лющемꙋ: доко́лѣ видѣ́нїе ста́нетъ, же́ртва ѿѧ́таѧ, и҆ грѣ́хъ ѡ҆пꙋстѣ́нїѧ да́нный, и҆ ст҃о́е и҆ си́ла попере́тсѧ;

13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”

14 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: да́же до ве́чера и҆ ᲂу҆́тра дні́й двѣ̀ ты́сѧщы и҆ три́ста, и҆ ѡ҆чи́ститсѧ ст҃о́е.

14 He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”

15 И҆ бы́сть, є҆гда̀ ви́дѣхъ а҆́зъ данїи́лъ видѣ́нїе и҆ взыска́хъ вѣ́дѣнїѧ, и҆ сѐ, ста̀ предо мно́ю а҆́ки ѡ҆́бразъ мꙋ́жескъ,

15 When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of a man.

16 и҆ слы́шахъ гла́съ мꙋ́жескъ средѣ̀ ᲂу҆ва́ла, и҆ призва̀ и҆ речѐ: гаврїи́ле, скажѝ видѣ́нїе ѻ҆́номꙋ.

16 I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”

17 И҆ прїи́де и҆ ста̀ бли́з̾ стоѧ́нїѧ моегѡ̀: и҆ є҆гда̀ прїи́де ᲂу҆жасо́хсѧ и҆ падо́хъ на лицѐ моѐ. И҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀: разꙋмѣ́й, сы́не человѣ́чь, є҆ще́ бо до сконча́нїѧ вре́мене видѣ́нїе.

17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.”

18 И҆ є҆гда̀ глаго́лаше со мно́ю, падо́хъ ни́цъ на землѝ, и҆ прикоснꙋ́сѧ мнѣ̀, и҆ поста́ви мѧ̀ на но́ги моѧ̑, и҆ речѐ:

18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me and set me upright.

19 сѐ, а҆́зъ возвѣща́ю тебѣ̀ бꙋ̑дꙋщаѧ на послѣ́докъ гнѣ́ва (сынѡ́мъ люді́й твои́хъ): є҆ще́ бо до конца̀ вре́мене видѣ́нїе.

19 He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.

20 Ѻ҆ве́нъ, є҆го́же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ и҆мꙋ́ща рога̀, ца́рь ми́дскїй и҆ пе́рсскїй:

20 The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

21 а҆ козе́лъ ко́зїй ца́рь є҆́ллинскїй є҆́сть: ро́гъ же вели́кїй, и҆́же междꙋ̀ ѻ҆чи́ма є҆гѡ̀, то́й є҆́сть ца́рь пе́рвый:

21 The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

22 семꙋ́ же сокрꙋши́вшꙋсѧ воста́ша четы́ри ро́зи под̾ ни́мъ: четы́ри ца́рїе воста́нꙋтъ ѿ ꙗ҆зы́ка є҆гѡ̀, но не въ крѣ́пости є҆гѡ̀,

22 As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms will stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.

23 и҆ на послѣ́докъ ца́рства и҆́хъ, и҆сполнѧ́ющымсѧ грѣхѡ́мъ и҆́хъ, воста́нетъ ца́рь безсра́менъ лице́мъ и҆ разꙋмѣ́ѧ гада̑нїѧ,

23 “In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding riddles, will stand up.

24 и҆ держа́вна крѣ́пость є҆гѡ̀, не въ крѣ́пости же свое́й, и҆ чꙋде́снѡ растли́тъ и҆ ᲂу҆пра́витъ и҆ сотвори́тъ, и҆ разсы́плетъ крѣ̑пкїѧ и҆ лю́ди ст҃ы,

24 His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.

25 и҆ ꙗ҆ре́мъ вери́гъ свои́хъ и҆спра́витъ: ле́сть въ рꙋцѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ въ се́рдцы свое́мъ возвели́читсѧ, и҆ ле́стїю разсы́плетъ мно́гихъ, и҆ на па́гꙋбꙋ мнѡ́гимъ возста́нетъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ꙗ҆́ица рꙋко́ю сокрꙋши́тъ.

25 Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hands.

26 И҆ видѣ́нїе ве́чера и҆ ᲂу҆́тра рече́ннагѡ и҆́стинно є҆́сть: ты́ же назна́менай видѣ́нїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ на дни̑ мнѡ́ги.

26 “The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.”

27 А҆́зъ же данїи́лъ ᲂу҆спо́хъ и҆ и҆знемога́хъ на дни̑ (мнѡ́ги), и҆ воста́хъ и҆ творѧ́хъ дѣла̀ царє́ва, и҆ почꙋди́хсѧ видѣ́нїю, и҆ не бѧ́ше разꙋмѣва́ющагѡ.

27 I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.

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 8:12 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Chapter XXV)
To this purpose Daniel says again: "And he shall desolate the holy place; and sin has been given for a sacrifice, and righteousness been cast away in the earth, and he has been active (fecit), and gone on prosperously." And the angel Gabriel, when explaining his vision, states with regard to this person: "And towards the end of their kingdom …
