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 Тогда̀ да́рїй ца́рь повелѣ̀, и҆ и҆ска́ша во книгохрани́тельницахъ, и҆дѣ́же сокрѡ́вище лежи́тъ въ вавѷлѡ́нѣ.
1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon, was searched.
2 И҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ во а҆ма́ѳѣ гра́дѣ миді́йстѣмъ въ пала́тѣ глави́зна є҆ди́на, и҆ сїѐ пи́сано бѣ̀ въ не́й на па́мѧть:
2 A scroll was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, and in it this was written for a record:
3 въ лѣ́то пе́рвое кѵ́ра царѧ̀, кѵ́ръ ца́рь ца́рь повелѣ̀ ѡ҆ до́мѣ бж҃їи, и҆́же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: до́мъ да сози́ждетсѧ, и҆ мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же жрꙋ́тъ жє́ртвы: и҆ положѝ мѣ́рꙋ высоты̀ лакѡ́тъ шестьдесѧ́тъ, широта̀ є҆гѡ̀ лакѡ́тъ шестьдесѧ́тъ:
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning God’s house at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid, with its height sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits;
4 и҆ стѣ́ны ка́мєнныѧ твє́рдыѧ трѝ, и҆ стѣна̀ древѧ́наѧ є҆ди́на, и҆ждиве́нїе же ѿ до́мꙋ царе́ва да да́стсѧ:
4 with three courses of great stones and a course of new timber. Let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.
5 и҆ сосꙋ́ди до́мꙋ бж҃їѧ златі́и и҆ сре́брѧнїи, и҆̀хже навꙋходоно́соръ взѧ̀ ѿ до́мꙋ, и҆́же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ пренесѐ и҆̀хъ въ вавѷлѡ́нъ, да ѿдадꙋ́тсѧ и҆ внесꙋ́тсѧ въ до́мъ, и҆́же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, на мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же и҆ поста́влени бѧ́хꙋ въ домꙋ̀ бж҃їи:
5 Also let the gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, everything to its place. You shall put them in God’s house.
6 нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо дади́те, кнѧ́зїе сꙋ́щїи за рѣко́ю, саѳарвꙋзана́й и҆ сослꙋжи́телїе и҆́хъ а҆фарсахе́є, и҆̀же за рѣко́ю, дале́че ѿиди́те ѿтꙋ́дꙋ:
6 Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, you must stay far from there.
7 нн҃ѣ ѡ҆ста́вите дѣ́ло до́мꙋ бж҃їѧ: кнѧ́зїе і҆ꙋде́йстїи и҆ старѣ̑йшины и҆́хъ до́мъ бж҃їй то́й да созида́ютъ на мѣ́стѣ свое́мъ:
7 Leave the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
8 и҆ ѿ менє̀ повелѣ́но бы́сть, да не когда̀ что̀ сотвори́те проти́вно старѣ́йшинамъ жидѡ́вскимъ въ созида́нїи до́мꙋ бж҃їѧ ѻ҆́нагѡ: и҆ ѿ и҆мѣ́нїй ца́рскихъ да́ней сꙋ́щихъ за рѣко́ю прилѣ́жнѡ на и҆ждиве́нїе да дае́тсѧ мꙋжє́мъ тѣ̑мъ, є҆́же бы не преста́ло дѣ́ло то̀:
8 Moreover I make a decree regarding what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses must be given with all diligence to these men, that they not be hindered.
9 и҆ є҆́же а҆́ще ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́етъ, и҆ тельцы̀ и҆ ѻ҆вны̀ и҆ а҆́гнцы, во всесожжє́нїѧ бг҃ꙋ нбⷭ҇номꙋ, пшени́ца, со́ль, вїно̀, є҆ле́й, по словесѝ свѧще́нникѡвъ, и҆̀же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, да дае́тсѧ и҆̀мъ по всѧ̑ дни̑, є҆́же а҆́ще воспро́сѧтъ,
9 That which they have need of, including young bulls, rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven; also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail,
10 да бꙋ́дꙋтъ приносѧ́щїи благоꙋха̑нїѧ бг҃ꙋ нбⷭ҇номꙋ и҆ да мо́лѧтсѧ ѡ҆ жи́зни царѧ̀ и҆ сынѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀:
10 that they may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.
11 и҆ ѿ менє̀ ᲂу҆ста́влено повелѣ́нїе, да всѧ́къ человѣ́къ, и҆́же престꙋ́питъ повелѣ́нїе сїѐ, во́зметсѧ дре́во ѿ до́мꙋ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ воздви́женъ ѡ҆бѣ́ситсѧ на не́мъ, и҆ до́мъ є҆гѡ̀ мнѣ̀ бꙋ́детъ взѧ́тъ:
11 I have also made a decree that whoever alters this message, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
12 и҆ бг҃ъ, є҆гѡ́же ѡ҆бита́етъ и҆́мѧ та́мѡ, да низврати́тъ всѧ́каго царѧ̀ и҆ лю́ди, и҆̀же прострꙋ́тъ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ премѣни́ти и҆лѝ разори́ти до́мъ бж҃їй, и҆́же є҆́сть во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: а҆́зъ да́рїй поста́вихъ повелѣ́нїе, съ прилѣжа́нїемъ да бꙋ́детъ.
12 May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who stretch out their hand to alter this, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree. Let it be done with all diligence.
13 Тогда̀ ѳаѳана́й кнѧ́зь страны̀ зарѣ́чныѧ, саѳарвꙋзана́й и҆ сослꙋже́бницы є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́коже посла̀ да́рїй ца́рь, та́кѡ сотвори́ша тща́тельнѡ.
13 Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions did accordingly with all diligence, because Darius the king had sent a decree.
14 Старѣ̑йшины же і҆ꙋде́йстїи созида́хꙋ и҆ леѵі́ти по прⷪ҇ро́чествꙋ а҆гге́а прⷪ҇ро́ка и҆ заха́рїи сы́на а҆́ддова. И҆ созда́ша и҆ соверши́ша по повелѣ́нїю бг҃а і҆и҃лева и҆ по повелѣ́нїю кѵ́ра и҆ да́рїа и҆ а҆ртаѯе́рѯа царе́й пе́рсскихъ,
14 The elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15 и҆ соверши́ша до́мъ то́й да́же до днѐ тре́тїѧгѡ, мцⷭ҇а а҆да́ра, и҆́же є҆́сть въ лѣ́то шесто́е ца́рства да́рїа царѧ̀.
15 This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
16 Сотвори́ша же сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы, свѧще́нницы и҆ леѵі́ти, и҆ про́чїи сынѡ́въ преселе́нїѧ ѡ҆бновле́нїе до́мꙋ бж҃їѧ въ ра́дости,
16 The children of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
17 и҆ принесо́ша на ѡ҆бновле́нїе до́мꙋ бж҃їѧ тельцє́въ сто̀, ѻ҆внѡ́въ двѣ́сти, а҆́гнцєвъ четы́реста, козлѡ́въ ѿ ко́зъ за грѣхѝ всегѡ̀ і҆и҃лѧ двана́десѧть, по числꙋ̀ колѣ́нъ і҆и҃левыхъ:
17 They offered at the dedication of this house of God one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
18 и҆ поста́виша свѧще́нникѡвъ въ чинѣ́хъ свои́хъ и҆ леѵі́ты въ ча́стехъ свои́хъ на слꙋже́нїе до́мꙋ бж҃їѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, ꙗ҆́коже пи́сано є҆́сть въ кни́зѣ мѡѷсе́овѣ.
18 They set the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God which is at Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
19 И҆ сотвори́ша сы́нове преселе́нїѧ па́схꙋ въ четвертыйна́десѧть де́нь мцⷭ҇а пе́рвагѡ:
19 The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
20 ѡ҆чище́ни бо бѧ́хꙋ свѧще́нницы и҆ леѵі́ти да́же до є҆ди́нагѡ всѝ чи́сти, и҆ пожро́ша па́схꙋ всѣ̑мъ сынѡ́мъ преселе́нїѧ и҆ бра́тїи и҆́хъ свѧще́нникѡмъ и҆ себѣ̀ самы́мъ.
20 Because the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together, all of them were pure. They killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
21 И҆ ꙗ҆до́ша сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы па́схꙋ, и҆̀же ѿ преселе́нїѧ, и҆ всѧ́къ ѿлꙋчи́выйсѧ ѿ ѡ҆скверне́нїѧ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ землѝ къ ни̑мъ, є҆́же взыска́ти гдⷭ҇а бг҃а і҆и҃лева.
21 The children of Israel who had returned out of the captivity, and all who had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, ate,
22 И҆ сотвори́ша пра́здникъ ѡ҆прѣсно́чный се́дмь дні́й въ весе́лїи, ꙗ҆́кѡ возвеселѝ и҆̀хъ гдⷭ҇ь и҆ ѡ҆братѝ се́рдце царѧ̀ а҆ссꙋ́рска къ ни̑мъ, ᲂу҆крѣпи́ти рꙋ́ки и҆́хъ въ дѣ́лѣхъ до́мꙋ бг҃а і҆и҃лева.
22 and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; because Yahweh had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of God, the God of Israel’s house.
