Notes on this text (3)
- 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.
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 Оу҆слы́ша же і҆оѳо́ръ, і҆ере́й мадїа́мскїй, те́сть мѡѷсе́овъ, всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь і҆и҃лю свои̑мъ лю́демъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆зведѐ гдⷭ҇ь і҆и҃лѧ и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта:
1 Y OYÓ Jethro, sacerdote de Madián, suegro de Moisés, todas las cosas que Dios había hecho con Moisés, y con Israel su pueblo, y cómo Jehová había sacado á Israel de Egipto:
1 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people, how Yahweh had brought Israel out of Egypt.
2 и҆ поѧ̀ і҆оѳо́ръ, те́сть мѡѷсе́овъ, сепфѡ́рꙋ, женꙋ̀ мѡѷсе́овꙋ, по ѿпꙋще́нїи є҆ѧ̀,
2 Y tomó Jethro, suegro de Moisés, á Séphora la mujer de Moisés, después que él la envió,
2 Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, received Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her away,
3 и҆ два̀ сы̑на є҆ѧ̀: и҆́мѧ є҆ди́номꙋ ѿ ни́хъ гирса́мъ, глаго́лѧ: пришле́цъ бы́хъ въ землѝ чꙋжде́й,
3 Y á sus dos hijos; el uno se llamaba Gersom, porque dijo, Peregrino he sido en tierra ajena;
3 and her two sons. The name of one son was Gershom, for Moses said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land”.
4 и҆ и҆́мѧ второ́мꙋ є҆лїе́зеръ, глаго́лѧ: бг҃ъ бо ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀ помо́щникъ мо́й и҆ и҆зба́ви мѧ̀ и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ фараѡ́ни.
4 Y el otro se llamaba Eliezer, porque [dijo], El Dios de mi padre me ayudó, y me libró del cuchillo de Faraón.
4 The name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, “My father’s God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh’s sword.”
5 И҆ прїи́де і҆оѳо́ръ, те́сть мѡѷсе́овъ, и҆ сы́нове и҆ жена̀ къ мѡѷсе́ю въ пꙋсты́ню, и҆дѣ́же ѡ҆полчи́сѧ при горѣ̀ бж҃їей.
5 Y Jethro, el suegro de Moisés, con sus hijos y su mujer, llegó á Moisés en el desierto, donde tenía el campo junto al monte de Dios;
5 Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with Moses’ sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the Mountain of God.
6 Возвѣсти́ша же мѡѷсе́ю, глаго́люще: сѐ, і҆оѳо́ръ, те́сть тво́й, и҆́детъ къ тебѣ̀, и҆ жена̀ твоѧ̀, и҆ ѻ҆́ба сы̑на твоѧ̑ съ ни́мъ.
6 Y dijo á Moisés: Yo tu suegro Jethro vengo á ti, con tu mujer, y sus dos hijos con ella.
6 He said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, have come to you with your wife, and her two sons with her.”
7 И҆зы́де же мѡѷсе́й во срѣ́тенїе те́стю своемꙋ̀ и҆ поклони́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ цѣлова̀ є҆го̀, и҆ привѣ́тствоваша дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га: и҆ введѐ и҆̀хъ мѡѷсе́й въ кꙋ́щꙋ.
7 Y Moisés salió á recibir á su suegro, é inclinóse, y besólo: y preguntáronse el uno al otro cómo estaban, y vinieron á la tienda.
7 Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed and kissed him. They asked each other of their welfare, and they came into the tent.
8 И҆ повѣ́да мѡѷсе́й те́стю своемꙋ̀ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь фараѡ́нꙋ и҆ всѣ̑мъ є҆гѵ́птѧнѡмъ і҆и҃лѧ ра́ди, и҆ ве́сь трꙋ́дъ бы́вшїй и҆̀мъ на пꙋтѝ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆зба́ви и҆̀хъ гдⷭ҇ь ѿ рꙋкѝ фараѡ́ни и҆ ѿ рꙋкѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ.
8 Y Moisés contó á su suegro todas las cosas que Jehová había hecho á Faraón y á los Egipcios por amor de Israel, y todo el trabajo que habían pasado en el camino, y cómo los había librado Jehová.
8 Moses told his father-in-law all that Yahweh had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardships that had come on them on the way, and how Yahweh delivered them.
9 Оу҆жасе́сѧ же і҆оѳо́ръ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ благи́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ и҆̀мъ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆зба́ви и҆̀хъ гдⷭ҇ь ѿ рꙋкѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ и҆ ѿ рꙋкѝ фараѡ́ни,
9 Y alegróse Jethro de todo el bien que Jehová había hecho á Israel, que lo había librado de mano de los Egipcios.
9 Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which Yahweh had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.
10 и҆ речѐ і҆оѳо́ръ: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆зба́ви лю́ди своѧ̑ и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ и҆ и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ фараѡ́ни:
10 Y Jethro dijo: Bendito sea Jehová, que os libró de mano de los Egipcios, y de la mano de Faraón, y que libró al pueblo de la mano de los Egipcios.
10 Jethro said, “Blessed be Yahweh, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
11 нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣхъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вели́къ гдⷭ҇ь па́че всѣ́хъ богѡ́въ, сегѡ̀ ра́ди, ꙗ҆́кѡ налего́ша на ни́хъ.
11 Ahora conozco que Jehová es grande más que todos los dioses; hasta en lo que se ensoberbecieron contra ellos.
11 Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all gods because of the way that they treated people arrogantly.”
12 И҆ взѧ̀ і҆оѳо́ръ те́сть мѡѷсе́овъ всесожжє́нїѧ и҆ жє́ртвы бг҃ꙋ: прїи́де же а҆арѡ́нъ и҆ всѝ ста́рцы і҆и҃лєвы ꙗ҆́сти хлѣ́ба съ те́стемъ мѡѷсе́овымъ пред̾ бг҃омъ.
12 Y tomó Jethro, suegro de Moisés, holocaustos y sacrificios para Dios: y vino Aarón y todos los ancianos de Israel á comer pan con el suegro de Moisés delante de Dios.
12 Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God. Aaron came with all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law before God.
13 И҆ бы́сть на ᲂу҆́трїе, сѣ́де мѡѷсе́й сꙋди́ти лю́ди: стоѧ́хꙋ же пред̾ мѡѷсе́омъ всѝ лю́дїе ѿ ᲂу҆́тра до ве́чера.
13 Y aconteció que otro día se sentó Moisés á juzgar al pueblo; y el pueblo estuvo delante de Moisés desde la mañana hasta la tarde.
13 On the next day, Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from the morning to the evening.
14 Ви́дѣвъ же і҆оѳо́ръ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка творѧ́ше лю́демъ, речѐ: что̀ сїѐ, є҆́же ты̀ твори́ши лю́демъ; почто̀ ты̀ є҆ди́нъ сѣди́ши, вси́ же лю́дїе предстоѧ́тъ тебѣ̀ ѿ ᲂу҆́тра до ве́чера;
14 Y viendo el suegro de Moisés todo lo que él hacía con el pueblo, dijo: ¿Qué es esto que haces tú con el pueblo? ¿por qué te sientas tú solo, y todo el pueblo está delante de ti desde la mañana hasta la tarde?
14 When Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, “What is this thing that you do for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning to evening?”
15 Рече́ же мѡѷсе́й те́стю: поне́же прихо́дѧтъ лю́дїе ко мнѣ̀ проси́ти сꙋда̀ ѿ бг҃а:
15 Y Moisés respondió á su suegro: Porque el pueblo viene á mí para consultar á Dios:
15 Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God.
16 є҆гда́ бо быва́етъ и҆̀мъ ра́спрѧ, и҆ прихо́дѧтъ ко мнѣ̀, разсꙋжда́ю коемꙋ́ждо и҆ сказꙋ́ю и҆̀мъ повєлѣ́нїѧ бж҃їѧ и҆ зако́нъ є҆гѡ̀.
16 Cuando tienen negocios, vienen á mí; y yo juzgo entre el uno y el otro, y declaro las ordenanzas de Dios y sus leyes.
16 When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.”
17 Рече́ же те́сть мѡѷсе́овъ къ немꙋ̀: не пра́вѡ ты̀ твори́ши глаго́лъ се́й:
17 Entonces el suegro de Moisés le dijo: No haces bien:
17 Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you do is not good.
18 трꙋдо́мъ ᲂу҆трꙋди́шисѧ несно́снымъ и҆ ты̀, и҆ всѝ лю́дїе сі́и, и҆̀же сꙋ́ть съ тобо́ю: тѧ́жекъ тебѣ̀ глаго́лъ се́й, не возмо́жеши твори́ти ты̀ є҆ди́нъ:
18 Desfallecerás del todo, tú, y también este pueblo que está contigo; porque el negocio es demasiado pesado para ti; no podrás hacerlo tú solo.
18 You will surely wear away, both you, and this people that is with you; for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to perform it yourself alone.
19 нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо послꙋ́шай менѐ и҆ присовѣ́тꙋю тебѣ̀, и҆ бꙋ́детъ бг҃ъ съ тобо́ю: бꙋ́ди ты̀ лю́демъ въ тѣ́хъ ꙗ҆̀же къ бг҃ꙋ, и҆ донесе́ши словеса̀ и҆́хъ къ бг҃ꙋ,
19 Oye ahora mi voz, yo te aconsejaré, y Dios será contigo. Está tú por el pueblo delante de Dios, y somete tú los negocios á Dios.
19 Listen now to my voice. I will give you counsel, and God be with you. You represent the people before God, and bring the causes to God.
20 и҆ засвидѣ́тельствꙋй и҆̀мъ повелѣ̑нїѧ бж҃їѧ и҆ зако́нъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ повѣ́ждь и҆̀мъ пꙋти̑ є҆гѡ̀, и҆́миже по́йдꙋтъ, и҆ дѣла̀, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѧ́тъ:
20 Y enseña á ellos las ordenanzas y las leyes, y muéstrales el camino por donde anden, y lo que han de hacer.
20 You shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.
21 ты́ же ᲂу҆смотрѝ себѣ̀ ѿ всѣ́хъ люді́й мꙋ́жы си̑льны, бг҃а боѧ́щыѧсѧ, мꙋ́жы пра́вєдны, ненави́дѧщыѧ го́рдости, и҆ поста́виши и҆̀хъ над̾ ни́ми тысѧщенача́льники и҆ стонача́льники, и҆ пѧтьдесѧтонача́льники и҆ десѧтонача́льники и҆ писмовводи̑тели,
21 Además inquiere tú de entre todo el pueblo varones de virtud, temerosos de Dios, varones de verdad, que aborrezcan la avaricia; y constituirás á éstos sobre ellos caporales sobre mil, sobre ciento, sobre cincuenta y sobre diez.
21 Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men which fear God: men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
22 и҆ сꙋ́дѧтъ люді́й по всѧ̑ часы̀: сло́во же неꙋдоборѣши́тельное донесꙋ́тъ къ тебѣ̀: ма̑лыѧ же сꙋды̀ да сꙋ́дѧтъ ѻ҆нѝ, и҆ ѡ҆блегча́тъ тѧ̀ и҆ спомо́гꙋтъ тебѣ̀:
22 Los cuales juzgarán al pueblo en todo tiempo; y será que todo negocio grave lo traerán á ti, y ellos juzgarán todo negocio pequeño: alivia así [la carga] de sobre ti, y llevarla han ellos contigo.
22 Let them judge the people at all times. It shall be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge themselves. So shall it be easier for you, and they shall share the load with you.
23 а҆́ще сло́во сїѐ сотвори́ши, ᲂу҆крѣпи́тъ тѧ̀ бг҃ъ, и҆ возмо́жеши настоѧ́тельствовати, и҆ всѝ лю́дїе сі́и прїи́дꙋтъ во своѐ мѣ́сто съ ми́ромъ.
23 Si esto hicieres, y Dios te lo mandare, tú podrás persistir, y todo este pueblo se irá también en paz á su lugar.
23 If you will do this thing, and God commands you so, then you will be able to endure, and all these people also will go to their place in peace.”
24 Послꙋ́ша же мѡѷсе́й гла́са те́стѧ своегѡ̀ и҆ сотворѝ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка речѐ є҆мꙋ̀:
24 Y oyó Moisés la voz de su suegro, é hizo todo lo que dijo.
24 So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.
25 и҆ и҆збра̀ мѡѷсе́й мꙋ́жы си̑льны ѿ всегѡ̀ і҆и҃лѧ, и҆ сотворѝ ѧ҆̀ над̾ ни́ми тысѧщенача́льники и҆ стонача́льники, и҆ пѧтьдесѧтонача́льники и҆ десѧтонача́льники и҆ писмовводи̑тели:
25 Y escogió Moisés varones de virtud de todo Israel, y púsolos por cabezas sobre el pueblo, caporales sobre mil, sobre ciento, sobre cincuenta, y sobre diez;
25 Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
26 и҆ сꙋжда́хꙋ лю́демъ по всѧ̑ часы̀: всѧ́кое же сло́во неꙋдоборѣши́тельное доноси́ша къ мѡѷсе́ю, всѧ́кое же сло́во ле́гкое сꙋжда́хꙋ са́ми.
26 Y juzgaban al pueblo en todo tiempo: el negocio arduo traíanlo á Moisés, y ellos juzgaban todo negocio pequeño.
26 They judged the people at all times. They brought the hard cases to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
27 Ѿпꙋсти́ же мѡѷсе́й те́стѧ своего̀, и҆ ѿи́де въ зе́млю свою̀.
27 Y despidió Moisés á su suegro, y fuése á su tierra.
27 Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way into his own land.
