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 речѐ ко мнѣ̀: сы́не человѣ́чь, снѣ́ждь сви́токъ се́й, и҆ и҆дѝ и҆ рцы̀ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ.
1 He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
2 И҆ ѿверзо́хъ ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑, и҆ напита́ мѧ сви́ткомъ си́мъ
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
3 и҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀: сы́не человѣ́чь, ᲂу҆ста̀ твоѧ̑ снѣдѧ́тъ, и҆ чре́во твоѐ насы́титсѧ сви́тка сегѡ̀ да́ннагѡ тебѣ̀. И҆ снѣдо́хъ є҆го̀, и҆ бы́сть во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ мои́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ме́дъ сла́докъ.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your belly and your bowels with it.” Then I ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 И҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀: сы́не человѣ́чь, и҆дѝ и҆ вни́ди въ до́мъ і҆и҃левъ, и҆ глаго́ли словеса̀ моѧ̑ къ ни̑мъ:
4 He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
5 ꙗ҆́кѡ не къ лю́демъ глꙋбокорѣ̑чивымъ и҆ косноѧзы̑чнымъ посыла́емь є҆сѝ, къ до́мꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ,
5 For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel—
6 нижѐ къ лю́демъ мнѡ́гимъ и҆ноѧзы̑чнымъ, и҆норѣ̑чивымъ, ни тѧ̑жкимъ ѧ҆зы́комъ сꙋ́щымъ, и҆́хже не разꙋмѣ́лъ бы є҆сѝ слове́съ: а҆́ще же и҆ къ тацѣ̑мъ посла́лъ бы́хъ тѧ̀, то̀ и҆ ті́и послꙋ́шали бы́ша тебѐ:
6 not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can’t understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
7 а҆ до́мъ і҆и҃левъ не восхо́щетъ послꙋ́шати тебѐ, поне́же не хотѧ́тъ слꙋ́шати менѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ве́сь до́мъ і҆и҃левъ непокори́ви сꙋ́ть и҆ жестокосе́рди:
7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you, for they will not listen to me; for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.
8 и҆ сѐ, да́хъ лицѐ твоѐ си́льно проти́вꙋ лица̀ и҆́хъ, и҆ прю̀ твою̀ ᲂу҆крѣплю̀ проти́вꙋ прѝ и҆́хъ:
8 Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
9 и҆ бꙋ́детъ, всегда̀ крѣпча́е ка́мене да́хъ прю̀ твою̀: не ᲂу҆бо́йсѧ и҆́хъ, ни ᲂу҆жаса́йсѧ лица̀ и҆́хъ, занѐ до́мъ разгнѣ́ваѧй є҆́сть.
9 I have made your forehead as a diamond, harder than flint. Don’t be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”
10 И҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀: сы́не человѣ́чь, всѧ̑ словеса̀, ꙗ҆̀же гл҃ахъ съ тобо́ю, возмѝ въ се́рдце твоѐ и҆ ᲂу҆ши́ма твои́ма послꙋ́шай:
10 Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, receive in your heart and hear with your ears all my words that I speak to you.
11 и҆ ше́дъ вни́ди въ плѣ́нъ къ сынѡ́мъ люді́й твои́хъ, и҆ рече́ши къ ни̑мъ и҆ возглаго́леши къ ни̑мъ: та́кѡ гл҃етъ а҆дѡнаі̀ гдⷭ҇ь: а҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ послꙋ́шаютъ и҆ а҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ повинꙋ́тсѧ.
11 Go to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says,’ whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse.”
12 И҆ взѧ́ мѧ дꙋ́хъ, и҆ слы́шахъ гла́съ за собо́ю трꙋ́са вели́ка, глаго́лющихъ: блгⷭ҇ве́на сла́ва гдⷭ҇нѧ ѿ мѣ́ста є҆гѡ̀.
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, “Blessed be Yahweh’s glory from his place.”
13 И҆ ви́дѣхъ гла́съ кри́лъ живо́тныхъ скрилѧ́ющихсѧ дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ, и҆ гла́съ коле́съ держа́щьсѧ и҆́хъ, и҆ гла́съ трꙋ́са вели́ка.
13 I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
14 И҆ дꙋ́хъ воздви́же мѧ̀ и҆ взѧ́ мѧ, и҆ поидо́хъ вознесе́нъ во ᲂу҆стремле́нїи дꙋ́ха моегѡ̀, и҆ рꙋка̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ бы́сть на мнѣ̀ крѣ́пкаѧ.
14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and Yahweh’s hand was strong on me.
15 И҆ внидо́хъ въ плѣ́нники вознесе́нъ, и҆ ѡ҆быдо́хъ живꙋ́щыѧ на рѣцѣ̀ хова́ръ, и҆ сѣдо́хъ тꙋ̀ се́дмь дні́й, ходѧ̀ посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ.
15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv who lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
16 И҆ бы́сть по седми́хъ дне́хъ сло́во гдⷭ҇не ко мнѣ̀ гл҃ѧ:
16 At the end of seven days, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
17 сы́не человѣ́чь, стра́жа да́хъ тѧ̀ до́мꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ, да слы́шиши сло́во ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ мои́хъ и҆ воспрети́ши и҆̀мъ ѿ менє̀.
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me.
18 Внегда̀ гл҃ати мѝ беззако́нникꙋ: сме́ртїю ᲂу҆́мреши: и҆ не возвѣсти́ши є҆мꙋ̀, ни соглаго́леши, є҆́же ѡ҆ста́тисѧ беззако́нникꙋ и҆ ѡ҆брати́тисѧ ѿ пꙋтѝ своегѡ̀, є҆́же жи́вꙋ бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀: беззако́нникъ то́й въ беззако́нїи свое́мъ ᲂу҆́мретъ, кро́ве же є҆гѡ̀ ѿ рꙋкѝ твоеѧ̀ взыщꙋ̀.
18 When I tell the wicked, ‘You will surely die;’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand.
19 И҆ ты̀ а҆́ще возвѣсти́ши беззако́нникꙋ, и҆ не ѡ҆брати́тсѧ ѿ беззако́нїѧ своегѡ̀ и҆ ѿ пꙋтѝ своегѡ̀ (беззако́нна): то́й беззако́нникъ во беззако́нїи свое́мъ ᲂу҆́мретъ, а҆ ты̀ дꙋ́шꙋ твою̀ и҆зба́виши.
19 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn’t turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.”
20 И҆ є҆гда̀ соврати́тсѧ првⷣникъ ѿ пра́вдъ свои́хъ и҆ сотвори́тъ согрѣше́нїе: и҆ да́мъ мꙋ́кꙋ пред̾ ни́мъ, то́й ᲂу҆́мретъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ не воспрети́лъ є҆сѝ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ во грѣсѣ́хъ свои́хъ ᲂу҆́мретъ, занѐ не помѧнꙋ́тсѧ пра̑вды є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ: кро́ве же є҆гѡ̀ ѿ рꙋкѝ твоеѧ̀ взыщꙋ̀.
20 “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered; but I will require his blood at your hand.
21 Ты́ же а҆́ще возвѣсти́ши првⷣномꙋ, є҆́же не согрѣши́ти, и҆ то́й не согрѣши́тъ: првⷣный жи́знїю поживе́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ воспрети́лъ є҆сѝ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ ты̀ твою̀ дꙋ́шꙋ и҆зба́виши.
21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he will surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.”
22 И҆ бы́сть на мнѣ̀ рꙋка̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ, и҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀: воста́ни и҆ и҆зы́ди на по́ле, и҆ та́мѡ возглаго́летсѧ къ тебѣ̀.
22 Yahweh’s hand was there on me; and he said to me, “Arise, go out into the plain, and I will talk with you there.”
23 И҆ воста́хъ и҆ и҆зыдо́хъ на по́ле: и҆ сѐ, та́мѡ сла́ва гдⷭ҇нѧ стоѧ́ше, ꙗ҆́коже видѣ́нїе и҆ ꙗ҆́коже сла́ва гдⷭ҇нѧ, ю҆́же ви́дѣхъ на рѣцѣ̀ хова́ръ, и҆ падо́хъ на лицы̀ мое́мъ.
23 Then I arose, and went out into the plain, and behold, Yahweh’s glory stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar. Then I fell on my face.
24 И҆ прїи́де на мѧ̀ дꙋ́хъ и҆ поста́ви мѧ̀ на ногꙋ̀ моє́ю: и҆ гл҃а ко мнѣ̀ и҆ речѐ мѝ: вни́ди и҆ затвори́сѧ средѣ̀ до́мꙋ твоегѡ̀.
24 Then the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me, and said to me, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
25 И҆ ты̀, сы́не человѣ́чь, сѐ, да́шасѧ на тѧ̀ ᲂу҆́зы, и҆ свѧ́жꙋтъ тѧ̀ и҆́ми, и҆ не и҆зы́деши ѿ среды̀ и҆́хъ:
25 But you, son of man, behold, they will put ropes on you, and will bind you with them, and you will not go out among them.
26 и҆ ѧ҆зы́къ тво́й привѧжꙋ̀ къ горта́ни твоемꙋ̀, и҆ ѡ҆нѣмѣ́еши и҆ не бꙋ́деши и҆̀мъ въ мꙋ́жа ѡ҆бличе́нїѧ, поне́же до́мъ разгнѣ́ваѧй є҆́сть:
26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and will not be able to correct them, for they are a rebellious house.
27 и҆ внегда̀ гл҃ати мѝ къ тебѣ̀, ѿве́рзꙋ ᲂу҆ста̀ твоѧ̑, и҆ рече́ши къ ни̑мъ: сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ а҆дѡнаі̀ гдⷭ҇ь: слы́шай да слы́шитъ, и҆ не покарѧ́ѧйсѧ да не покарѧ́етсѧ, занѐ до́мъ преѡгорчева́ѧй є҆́сть.
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”

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).
That watchman, "got out from thence," to whom it was I said, "I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel." For it was told him "If thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his way, that wicked one shall die in his iniquity, and thou shalt deliver thy soul." This if …
