Notes on this text (3)
- 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.
- 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 И҆ бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇не ко мнѣ̀ гл҃ѧ:
1 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
2 сы́не человѣ́чь, глаго́ли ко сынѡ́мъ люді́й твои́хъ и҆ рече́ши къ ни̑мъ: землѧ̀, на ню́же а҆́зъ а҆́ще наведꙋ̀ ме́чь, и҆ по́ймꙋтъ лю́дїе землѝ человѣ́ка є҆ди́наго ѿ себє̀ и҆ поста́вѧтъ є҆го̀ себѣ̀ во стра́жа,
2 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
3 и҆ ᲂу҆́зритъ ме́чь грѧдꙋ́щь на зе́млю, и҆ вострꙋ́битъ трꙋбо́ю, и҆ проповѣ́сть лю́демъ,
3 if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
4 и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ ᲂу҆слы́шавый гла́съ трꙋбы̀, а҆ не сохрани́тсѧ, и҆ на́йдетъ ме́чь и҆ пости́гнетъ є҆го̀, кро́вь є҆гѡ̀ на главѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀ бꙋ́детъ:
4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and doesn’t heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
5 ꙗ҆́кѡ слы́ша гла́съ трꙋбы̀ и҆ не сохрани́сѧ, кро́вь є҆гѡ̀ на не́мъ бꙋ́детъ: а҆ се́й, поне́же сохрани́сѧ, дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ и҆зба́вилъ.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
6 И҆ стра́жъ, а҆́ще ᲂу҆ви́дитъ ме́чь грѧдꙋ́щь, и҆ не вострꙋ́битъ трꙋбо́ю, (и҆ не проповѣ́сть лю́демъ,) и҆ лю́дїе не ѡ҆хранѧ́тъ себѐ, и҆ наше́дъ ме́чь во́зметъ ѿ ни́хъ дꙋ́шꙋ, та̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ беззако́нїѧ ра́ди своегѡ̀ взѧ́сѧ, а҆ кро́ве є҆ѧ̀ ѿ рꙋкѝ стра́жа взыщꙋ̀.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword come and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
7 И҆ ты̀, сы́не человѣ́чь, во стра́жа да́хъ тѧ̀ до́мꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шиши ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ мои́хъ сло́во, и҆ проповѣ́си и҆̀мъ ѿ менє̀.
7 “So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
8 Є҆гда̀ рекꙋ̀ грѣ́шникꙋ: грѣ́шниче, сме́ртїю ᲂу҆́мреши: и҆ не бꙋ́деши глаго́лати (грѣ́шникꙋ), є҆́же сохрани́тисѧ нечести́вомꙋ, (є҆́же ѡ҆брати́тисѧ є҆мꙋ̀) ѿ пꙋтѝ своегѡ̀ (и҆ жи́вꙋ бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀), то́й беззако́нникъ во беззако́нїи свое́мъ ᲂу҆́мретъ, а҆ кро́ве є҆гѡ̀ ѿ рꙋкѝ твоеѧ̀ взыщꙋ̀.
8 When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
9 А҆́ще же ты̀ проповѣ́си нечести́вомꙋ пꙋ́ть є҆гѡ̀, є҆́же ѡ҆брати́тисѧ ѿ негѡ̀, и҆ не ѡ҆брати́тсѧ съ пꙋтѝ своегѡ̀, то́й въ нече́стїи свое́мъ ᲂу҆́мретъ, а҆ ты̀ дꙋ́шꙋ твою̀ и҆зба́вилъ є҆сѝ.
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn’t turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
10 И҆ ты̀, сы́не человѣ́чь, рцы̀ до́мꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ: си́це рѣ́сте глаго́люще: пре́лєсти на́шѧ и҆ беззакѡ́нїѧ на̑ша въ на́съ сꙋ́ть, и҆ мы̀ въ ни́хъ та́емъ, и҆ ка́кѡ на́мъ живы̑мъ бы́ти;
10 “You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?”’
11 Рцы̀ и҆̀мъ: живꙋ̀ а҆́зъ, гл҃етъ а҆дѡнаі̀ гдⷭ҇ь, не хощꙋ̀ сме́рти грѣ́шника, но є҆́же ѡ҆брати́тисѧ нечести́вомꙋ ѿ пꙋтѝ своегѡ̀ и҆ жи́вꙋ бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀: ѡ҆браще́нїемъ ѡ҆брати́тесѧ ѿ пꙋтѝ ва́шегѡ ѕла́гѡ: и҆ вскꙋ́ю ᲂу҆мира́ете, до́ме і҆и҃левъ;
11 Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’
12 И҆ ты̀, сы́не человѣ́чь, рцы̀ ко сынѡ́мъ люді́й твои́хъ: пра́вда првⷣника не и҆зба́витъ є҆го̀, во́ньже де́нь прельсти́тсѧ: и҆ беззако́нїе беззако́нника не ᲂу҆бїе́тъ, во́ньже де́нь ѡ҆брати́тсѧ ѿ беззако́нїѧ своегѡ̀: и҆ првⷣникъ не мо́жетъ спасти́сѧ въ де́нь грѣха̀ своегѡ̀.
12 “You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
13 Є҆гда̀ рекꙋ̀ првⷣникꙋ: жи́знїю жи́въ бꙋ́деши: се́й же ᲂу҆пова́ѧ на пра́вдꙋ свою̀ и҆ сотвори́тъ беззако́нїе, всѧ̑ пра̑вды є҆гѡ̀ не воспомѧнꙋ́тсѧ, въ непра́вдѣ свое́й, ю҆́же сотворѝ, въ то́й ᲂу҆́мретъ.
13 When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
14 И҆ є҆гда̀ рекꙋ̀ нечести́вомꙋ: сме́ртїю ᲂу҆́мреши: и҆ ѡ҆брати́тсѧ ѿ грѣха̀ своегѡ̀ и҆ сотвори́тъ сꙋ́дъ и҆ пра́вдꙋ,
14 Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
15 и҆ зало́гъ ѿда́стъ и҆ восхище́ное возврати́тъ, беззако́нникъ въ за́повѣдехъ жи́зни ходи́ти бꙋ́детъ, є҆́же не сотвори́ти непра́вды, жи́знїю жи́въ бꙋ́детъ и҆ не ᲂу҆́мретъ:
15 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
16 всѝ грѣсѝ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆̀же согрѣшѝ, не помѧнꙋ́тсѧ: поне́же сꙋ́дъ и҆ пра́вдꙋ сотворѝ, жи́въ бꙋ́детъ въ ни́хъ.
16 None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
17 И҆ рекꙋ́тъ сы́нове люді́й твои́хъ: непра́въ пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень. И҆ сѐ, пꙋ́ть и҆́хъ непра́въ.
17 “‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
18 Є҆гда̀ соврати́тсѧ првⷣникъ ѿ пра́вды своеѧ̀ и҆ сотвори́тъ беззако́нїе, и҆ ᲂу҆́мретъ въ не́мъ.
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
19 И҆ є҆гда̀ грѣ́шникъ возврати́тсѧ ѿ беззако́нїѧ своегѡ̀ и҆ сотвори́тъ сꙋ́дъ и҆ пра́вдꙋ, то́й жи́въ бꙋ́детъ въ ни́хъ.
19 When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
20 И҆ сѐ є҆́сть, є҆́же реко́сте: непра́въ пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень. Комꙋ́ждо по пꙋтє́мъ є҆гѡ̀ сꙋждꙋ̀ ва́мъ, до́ме і҆и҃левъ.
20 Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”
21 И҆ бы́сть во второена́десѧть лѣ́то, мцⷭ҇а вторагѡна́десѧть, въ пѧ́тый де́нь мцⷭ҇а плѣне́нїѧ на́шегѡ, прїи́де ко мнѣ̀ ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма ᲂу҆цѣлѣ́вый глаго́лѧ: плѣне́нъ бы́сть гра́дъ.
21 In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
22 И҆ рꙋка̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ бы́сть на мнѣ̀ въ ве́черъ, пре́жде прише́ствїѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѿве́рзе ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑, до́ндеже прїи́де ко мнѣ̀ заꙋ́тра: и҆ ѿвє́рзшаѧсѧ ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑ не затвори́шасѧ ктомꙋ̀.
22 Now Yahweh’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
23 И҆ бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇не ко мнѣ̀ гл҃ѧ:
23 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
24 сы́не человѣ́чь, живꙋ́щїи на ѡ҆пꙋстѣ́вшихъ мѣ́стѣхъ во землѝ і҆и҃левѣ глаго́лютъ: є҆ди́нъ бѧ́ше а҆враа́мъ и҆ ѡ҆держа́ше зе́млю, а҆ мы̀ мно́жайшїи є҆смы̀, на́мъ дана̀ є҆́сть землѧ̀ во ѡ҆держа́нїе.
24 “Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
25 Тогѡ̀ ра́ди рцы̀ и҆̀мъ: си́це гл҃етъ а҆дѡнаі̀ гдⷭ҇ь: поне́же съ кро́вїю ꙗ҆́сте и҆ ѻ҆́чи ва́ши воздвиго́сте ко кꙋмі́рѡмъ и҆ кро́вь пролива́ете, и҆ зе́млю ли наслѣ́дите;
25 Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
26 ста́сте съ мече́мъ ва́шимъ, сотвори́сте ме́рзѡсти, и҆ кі́йждо женꙋ̀ бли́жнѧгѡ своегѡ̀ ѡ҆скверни́сте, и҆ та́кѡ ли зе́млю и҆́мате наслѣ́дити;
26 You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’
27 Тогѡ̀ ра́ди рцы̀ и҆̀мъ: сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ а҆дѡнаі̀ гдⷭ҇ь: живꙋ̀ а҆́зъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ падꙋ́тъ мече́мъ сꙋ́щїи во ѡ҆пꙋстѣ́вшихъ, и҆ и҆̀же на лицы̀ по́лѧ, ѕвѣрє́мъ пѡ́льнымъ предадꙋ́тсѧ на и҆з̾ѧде́нїе, и҆ сꙋ́щыѧ во градѣ́хъ и҆ и҆̀же въ пеще́рахъ сме́ртїю поражꙋ̀,
27 “You shall tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
28 и҆ да́мъ зе́млю на ѡ҆пꙋстѣ́нїе, и҆ поги́бнетъ го́рдость крѣ́пости є҆ѧ̀, и҆ ѡ҆пꙋстѣ́ютъ го́ры і҆и҃лєвы, зане́же не бꙋ́детъ проходѧ́щагѡ:
28 I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
29 и҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆ сотворю̀ зе́млю и҆́хъ пꙋ́стꙋ, и҆ ѡ҆пꙋстѣ́етъ всѣ́хъ ра́ди ме́рзостей и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́ша.
29 Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
30 И҆ ты̀, сы́не человѣ́чь, сы́нове люді́й твои́хъ глаго́лющїи ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ ᲂу҆ забра̑лъ и҆ во вратѣ́хъ дворѡ́въ, и҆ глаго́лютъ кі́йждо ко бли́жнемꙋ своемꙋ̀ и҆ кі́йждо ко бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀, глаго́люще: собери́мсѧ и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шимъ и҆сходѧ̑щаѧ ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ гдⷭ҇нихъ.
30 “As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from Yahweh.’
31 И҆ прихо́дѧтъ къ тебѣ̀, ꙗ҆́коже схо́дѧтсѧ лю́дїе, и҆ сѣдѧ́тъ лю́дїе моѝ пред̾ тобо́ю, и҆ послꙋ́шаютъ глаго́лѡвъ твои́хъ, и҆ не сотворѧ́тъ и҆́хъ: поне́же лжа̀ во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ и҆́хъ, и҆ в̾слѣ́дъ скве́рнъ и҆́хъ се́рдце и҆́хъ хо́дитъ.
31 They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
32 И҆ бꙋ́деши и҆̀мъ ꙗ҆́кѡ гла́съ пѣ́снивца сладкогла́снагѡ благосли́чнагѡ, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шатъ глаго́лы твоѧ̑, и҆ не сотворѧ́тъ и҆́хъ.
32 Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don’t do them.
33 И҆ є҆гда̀ прїи́деши, рекꙋ́тъ: сѐ, прїи́де. И҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ прⷪ҇ро́къ бѣ̀ средѣ̀ и҆́хъ.
33 “When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”

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).
… of the grace of God have, by the Holy Spirit, spoken of repentance; and the Lord of all things has himself declared with an oath regarding it, "As I live, saith the Lord, I desire not the death of the sinner, but rather his repentance;" adding, moreover, this gracious declaration, "Repent, O house of Israel, of your iniquity.
These selfish persons have more cause to fear than those to whom it was said through the prophet, "He is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand." For watchmen or overseers of the people are appointed in churches, that they may unsparingly rebuke sin.
