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 Бы́сть же житїѐ са́ррино лѣ́тъ сто̀ два́десѧть се́дмь.
1 Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.
2 И҆ ᲂу҆́мре са́рра во гра́дѣ а҆рво́цѣ, и҆́же є҆́сть въ раздо́лїи: се́й є҆́сть хеврѡ́нъ въ землѝ ханаа́нстѣй. Прїи́де же а҆враа́мъ рыда́ти по са́ррѣ и҆ пла́кати.
2 Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3 И҆ воста̀ а҆враа́мъ ѿ мертвеца̀ своегѡ̀ и҆ речѐ сынѡ́мъ хетте́ѡвымъ, глаго́лѧ:
3 Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
4 пресе́льникъ и҆ пришле́цъ а҆́зъ є҆́смь ᲂу҆ ва́съ, дади́те мѝ ᲂу҆̀бо стѧжа́нїе гро́ба междꙋ̀ ва́ми, да погребꙋ̀ мертвеца̀ моего̀ ѿ менє̀.
4 “I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
5 Ѿвѣща́ша же сы́нове хетте́ѡвы ко а҆враа́мꙋ, глаго́люще: нѝ, господи́не:
5 The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
6 послꙋ́шай же на́съ: ца́рь ѿ бг҃а ты̀ є҆сѝ въ на́съ: во и҆збра́нныхъ гробѣ́хъ на́шихъ погребѝ мертвеца̀ твоего̀: никто́же бо ѿ на́съ возбрани́тъ гро́ба своегѡ̀ ѿ тебє̀, є҆́же погребстѝ мертвеца̀ твоего̀ та́мѡ.
6 “Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”
7 Воста́въ же а҆враа́мъ поклони́сѧ наро́дꙋ землѝ, сынѡ́мъ хетте́ѡвымъ,
7 Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
8 и҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ а҆враа́мъ, глаго́лѧ: а҆́ще и҆́мате въ дꙋшѝ ва́шей, ꙗ҆́кѡ погребстѝ мертвеца̀ моего̀ ѿ лица̀ моегѡ̀, послꙋ́шайте менѐ и҆ рцы́те ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ є҆фрѡ́нꙋ саа́ровꙋ:
8 He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
9 и҆ да да́стъ мѝ пеще́рꙋ сꙋгꙋ́бꙋю, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть є҆гѡ̀, сꙋ́щꙋю на ча́сти села̀ є҆гѡ̀: сребро́мъ досто́йнымъ да да́стъ мѝ ю҆̀ ᲂу҆ ва́съ въ стѧжа́нїе гро́ба.
9 that he may sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me among you as a possession for a burial place.”
10 Є҆фрѡ́нъ же сѣдѧ́ше посредѣ̀ сынѡ́въ хетте́овыхъ. Ѿвѣща́въ же є҆фрѡ́нъ хетте́йскїй ко а҆враа́мꙋ, речѐ слы́шащымъ сынѡ́мъ хетте́ѡвымъ и҆ всѣ̑мъ приходѧ́щымъ во гра́дъ, глаго́лѧ:
10 Now Ephron was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth. Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
11 ᲂу҆ менє̀ бꙋ́ди, господи́не, и҆ послꙋ́шай менѐ: село̀ и҆ пеще́рꙋ ꙗ҆́же въ не́мъ, тебѣ̀ даю̀: пред̾ всѣ́ми гра́жданы мои́ми да́хъ тебѣ̀, погребѝ мертвеца̀ твоего̀.
11 “No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
12 И҆ поклони́сѧ а҆враа́мъ пред̾ наро́домъ землѝ
12 Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
13 и҆ речѐ є҆фрѡ́нꙋ во ᲂу҆шеса̀ пред̾ всѣ́мъ наро́домъ землѝ: поне́же по мнѣ̀ є҆сѝ, послꙋ́шай менѐ: сребро̀ села̀ возмѝ ᲂу҆ менє̀, и҆ погребꙋ̀ мертвеца̀ моего̀ та́мѡ.
13 He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, “But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”
14 Ѿвѣща́ же є҆фрѡ́нъ а҆враа́мꙋ, глаго́лѧ:
14 Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
15 нѝ, господи́не: слы́шахъ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ землѧ̀ четы́рехъ сѡ́тъ дїдра́хмъ сребра̀: но что̀ бы́ло бы сїѐ междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ тобо́ю; ты́ же мертвеца̀ твоего̀ погребѝ.
15 “My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.”
16 И҆ послꙋ́ша а҆враа́мъ є҆фрѡ́на, и҆ дадѐ а҆враа́мъ є҆фрѡ́нꙋ сребро̀, є҆́же глаго́ла во ᲂу҆шеса̀ сынѡ́въ хетте́овыхъ, четы́ре ста̀ дїдра́хмъ сребра̀ и҆скꙋше́на кꙋпца́ми.
16 Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard.
17 И҆ бы́сть село̀ є҆фрѡ́ново, є҆́же бѣ̀ въ сꙋгꙋ́бѣй пеще́рѣ, є҆́же є҆́сть лице́мъ къ мамврі́и, село̀ и҆ пеще́ра ꙗ҆́же бѣ̀ въ не́мъ, и҆ всѧ́кое дре́во, є҆́же бѣ̀ на селѣ̀, и҆ всѐ є҆́же є҆́сть въ предѣ́лѣхъ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆́крестъ,
17 So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all of its borders, were deeded
18 а҆враа́мꙋ (бы́сть) въ стѧжа́нїе пред̾ сы̑ны хетте́овыми и҆ пред̾ всѣ́ми приходѧ́щими во гра́дъ.
18 to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
19 По си́хъ погребѐ а҆враа́мъ са́ррꙋ женꙋ̀ свою̀ въ пеще́рѣ се́льнѣй сꙋгꙋ́бѣй, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть проти́вꙋ мамврі́и: сїѧ̀ є҆́сть хеврѡ́нъ въ землѝ ханаа́нстѣй.
19 After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
20 И҆ ᲂу҆твержде́но є҆́сть село̀ и҆ пеще́ра, ꙗ҆́же бѣ̀ на не́мъ, а҆враа́мꙋ въ стѧжа́нїе гро́ба ѿ сынѡ́въ хетте́овыхъ.
20 The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham by the children of Heth as a possession for a burial place.
