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 Вни́де же ца́рь и҆ а҆ма́нъ пирова́ти со цари́цею.
1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
2 И҆ речѐ ца́рь є҆сѳи́ри во вторы́й де́нь на пирꙋ̀: что́ є҆сть, є҆сѳи́ре цари́це; и҆ что̀ проше́нїе твоѐ; и҆ что̀ моле́нїе твоѐ; и҆ бꙋ́детъ тебѣ̀ до полꙋца́рствїѧ моегѡ̀.
2 The king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition, queen Esther? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”
3 И҆ ѿвѣща́вши (є҆сѳи́рь цари́ца) речѐ: а҆́ще ѡ҆брѣто́хъ благода́ть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма, царю̀, да да́стсѧ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀ проше́нїю моемꙋ̀ и҆ лю́дїе моѝ моле́нїю моемꙋ̀:
3 Then Esther the queen answered, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.
4 про́дани бо є҆смы̀, а҆́зъ же и҆ лю́дїе моѝ, на поги́бель и҆ расхище́нїе и҆ въ рабо́тꙋ, мы́ же и҆ ча̑да на̑ша въ рабы̑ и҆ рабы̑ни, и҆ небрего́хъ: нѣ́сть бо досто́инъ клеветни́къ двора̀ царе́ва.
4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for male and female slaves, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s loss.”
5 И҆ речѐ ца́рь: кто̀ є҆́сть се́й, и҆́же дерзнꙋ̀ сотвори́ти ве́щь сїю̀;
5 Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, “Who is he, and where is he who dared presume in his heart to do so?”
6 И҆ речѐ є҆сѳи́рь: человѣ́къ вра́гъ, а҆ма́нъ лꙋка́вый се́й. А҆ма́нъ же смѧте́сѧ ѿ царѧ̀ и҆ цари́цы.
6 Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman!” Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
7 Ца́рь же воста̀ со гнѣ́вомъ ѿ пи́ра (и҆ и҆́де) въ вертогра́дъ: а҆ма́нъ же молѧ́ше цари́цꙋ, ви́дѧше бо себѐ въ бѣда́хъ сꙋ́ща.
7 The king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen, for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
8 Возврати́сѧ же ца́рь и҆з̾ вертогра́да, и҆ а҆ма́нъ припадѐ къ ло́жꙋ, на не́мже бѣ̀ є҆сѳи́рь, молѧ̀ цари́цꙋ. И҆ речѐ ца́рь: є҆гда̀ и҆ женꙋ̀ наси́лꙋетъ въ домꙋ̀ мое́мъ; А҆ма́нъ же слы́шавъ и҆змѣни́сѧ лице́мъ.
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in front of me in the house?” As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
9 Рече́ же вꙋгаѳа́нъ є҆ди́нъ ѿ скопцє́въ, се́й же вѣ́дѧше ѡ҆ то́мъ дре́вѣ, ви́дѣвъ є҆̀ въ домꙋ̀ а҆ма́новѣ, є҆гда̀ призыва́ше є҆го̀ на ѡ҆бѣ́дъ ца́рскїй, и҆ ѡ҆ се́мъ и҆спыта́въ є҆ди́наго ѿ ѻ҆́трѡкъ, ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́въ замышлѧ́емое, и҆ речѐ ко царю̀: сѐ, и҆ дре́во ᲂу҆гото́ва а҆ма́нъ мардохе́ю глаго́лавшемꙋ блага̑ѧ ѡ҆ царѝ, и҆ стои́тъ въ домꙋ̀ а҆ма́новѣ возвыше́но на лакѡ́тъ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ. И҆ речѐ ца́рь: да повѣ́ситсѧ (а҆ма́нъ) на не́мъ.
9 Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were with the king, said, “Behold, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing at Haman’s house.” The king said, “Hang him on it!”
10 И҆ повѣ́шенъ бы́сть а҆ма́нъ на дре́вѣ, є҆́же ᲂу҆гото́ва мардохе́ю. И҆ тогда̀ ца́рь ᲂу҆толи́сѧ ѿ ꙗ҆́рости.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath was pacified.
