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 Ви́дѣвши же рахи́ль, ꙗ҆́кѡ не родѝ і҆а́кѡвꙋ, и҆ поревнова̀ рахи́ль сестрѣ̀ свое́й и҆ речѐ і҆а́кѡвꙋ: да́ждь мѝ ча̑да: а҆́ще же нѝ, ᲂу҆мрꙋ̀ а҆́зъ.
1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”
2 Разгнѣ́вавсѧ же і҆а́кѡвъ на рахи́ль, речѐ є҆́й: є҆да̀ вмѣ́стѡ бг҃а а҆́зъ є҆́смь, и҆́же лиши́ тѧ плода̀ ᲂу҆тро́бнагѡ;
2 Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
3 Рече́ же рахи́ль і҆а́кѡвꙋ: сѐ, раба̀ моѧ̀ ва́лла: вни́ди къ не́й, и҆ да роди́тъ на колѣ́нахъ мои́хъ, и҆ ча́до сотворю̀ и҆ а҆́зъ ѿ неѧ̀.
3 She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”
4 И҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ва́ллꙋ рабꙋ̀ свою̀ є҆мꙋ̀ въ женꙋ̀: и҆ вни́де къ не́й і҆а́кѡвъ.
4 She gave him Bilhah her servant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
5 И҆ зача̀ ва́лла раба̀ рахи́лина и҆ родѝ і҆а́кѡвꙋ сы́на.
5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
6 И҆ речѐ рахи́ль: сꙋди́ ми бг҃ъ и҆ послꙋ́ша гла́са моегѡ̀, и҆ даде́ ми сы́на. Сегѡ̀ ра́ди прозва̀ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ да́нъ.
6 Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.
7 И҆ зача́тъ є҆щѐ ва́лла раба̀ рахи́лина и҆ родѝ сы́на втора́го і҆а́кѡвꙋ.
7 Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
8 И҆ речѐ рахи́ль: под̾ѧ́ мѧ бг҃ъ, и҆ сравни́хсѧ съ сестро́ю мое́ю, и҆ возмого́хъ. И҆ прозва̀ и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ нефѳалі́мъ.
8 Rachel said, “I have wrestled with my sister with mighty wrestlings, and have prevailed.” She named him Naphtali.
9 Ви́дѣ же лі́а, ꙗ҆́кѡ преста̀ ражда́ти, и҆ взѧ̀ зе́лфꙋ рабꙋ̀ свою̀ и҆ дадѐ ю҆̀ і҆а́кѡвꙋ въ женꙋ̀: и҆ вни́де къ не́й.
9 When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
10 И҆ зача́тъ зе́лфа раба̀ лі́ина и҆ родѝ і҆а́кѡвꙋ сы́на.
10 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a son.
11 И҆ речѐ лі́а: бла́го мнѣ̀ слꙋчи́сѧ. И҆ наречѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ га́дъ.
11 Leah said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad.
12 И҆ зача́тъ є҆щѐ зе́лфа раба̀ лі́ина и҆ родѝ і҆а́кѡвꙋ сы́на втора́го.
12 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a second son.
13 И҆ речѐ лі́а: блаже́на а҆́зъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆блажа́тъ мѧ̀ жєны̀. И҆ прозва̀ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆си́ръ.
13 Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher.
14 И҆́де же рꙋви́мъ въ де́нь жа́твы пшени́цы и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те ꙗ҆́блѡка мандраго́рѡва на по́ли, и҆ принесѐ ѧ҆̀ къ лі́и ма́тери свое́й. Рече́ же рахи́ль къ лі́и сестрѣ̀ свое́й: да́ждь мѝ ѿ мандраго́рѡвъ сы́на твоегѡ̀.
14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
15 Рече́ же лі́а: не дово́льно ли тебѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ взѧла̀ є҆сѝ мꙋ́жа моего̀; є҆да̀ и҆ мандраго́ры сы́на моегѡ̀ во́змеши; Рече́ же рахи́ль: не та́кѡ: да бꙋ́детъ сеѧ̀ но́щи съ тобо́ю за мандраго́ры сы́на твоегѡ̀.
15 Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes, also?” Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”
16 Прїи́де же і҆а́кѡвъ съ по́лѧ въ ве́черъ, и҆ и҆зы́де лі́а во срѣ́тенїе є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ речѐ: ко мнѣ̀ вни́деши дне́сь: наѧ́ла бо тѧ̀ є҆́смь за мандраго́ры сы́на моегѡ̀. И҆ бы́сть съ не́ю тоѧ̀ но́щи.
16 Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” He lay with her that night.
17 И҆ послꙋ́ша бг҃ъ лі́ю, и҆ заче́нши родѝ і҆а́кѡвꙋ сы́на пѧ́таго.
17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18 И҆ речѐ лі́а: даде́ ми бг҃ъ мздꙋ̀ мою̀, занѐ да́хъ рабꙋ̀ мою̀ мꙋ́жꙋ моемꙋ̀. И҆ прозва̀ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ссаха́ръ, є҆́же є҆́сть мзда̀.
18 Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar.
19 И҆ зача́тъ є҆щѐ лі́а и҆ родѝ сы́на шеста́го і҆а́кѡвꙋ.
19 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
20 И҆ речѐ лі́а: дарова́ ми бг҃ъ да́ръ до́бръ въ нн҃ѣшнее вре́мѧ: возлю́битъ мѧ̀ мꙋ́жъ мо́й: роди́хъ бо є҆мꙋ̀ ше́сть сынѡ́въ. И҆ прозва̀ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ завꙋлѡ́нъ.
20 Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.
21 И҆ посе́мъ родѝ дще́рь, и҆ прозва̀ и҆́мѧ є҆́й ді́на.
21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
22 Помѧнꙋ́ же бг҃ъ рахи́ль, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́ша ю҆̀ бг҃ъ, и҆ ѿве́рзе ᲂу҆тро́бꙋ є҆ѧ̀:
22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
23 и҆ заче́нши, родѝ і҆а́кѡвꙋ сы́на. И҆ речѐ рахи́ль: ѿѧ̀ бг҃ъ ᲂу҆кори́знꙋ мою̀.
23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
24 И҆ наречѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ѡ́сифъ, глаго́лющи: да прида́стъ мѝ бг҃ъ сы́на дрꙋга́го.
24 She named him Joseph, saying, “May Yahweh add another son to me.”
25 Бы́сть же ꙗ҆́кѡ родѝ рахи́ль і҆ѡ́сифа, речѐ і҆а́кѡвъ лава́нꙋ: ѿпꙋсти́ мѧ, да и҆дꙋ̀ на мѣ́сто моѐ и҆ въ зе́млю мою̀:
25 When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
26 ѿда́ждь мѝ жєны̀ моѧ̑ и҆ дѣ́ти моѧ̑, и҆́хже ра́ди рабо́тахъ тебѣ̀, да ѿидꙋ̀: ты́ бо вѣ́си рабо́тꙋ, ю҆́же рабо́тахъ тѝ.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”
27 Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ лава́нъ: а҆́ще ѡ҆брѣто́хъ благода́ть пред̾ тобо́ю: ᲂу҆смотри́хъ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ блгⷭ҇ви́ мѧ бг҃ъ прише́ствїемъ твои́мъ:
27 Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”
28 раздѣлѝ мздꙋ̀ свою̀ ᲂу҆ менє̀, и҆ да́мъ тѝ.
28 He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
29 Рече́ же і҆а́кѡвъ: ты̀ вѣ́си, ꙗ҆̀же рабо́тахъ тебѣ̀, и҆ коли́кѡ бѣ̀ скота̀ твоегѡ̀ ᲂу҆ менє̀:
29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
30 ма́лѡ бо бѣ̀ є҆ли́кѡ твоегѡ̀ ᲂу҆ менє̀ и҆ возрастѐ во мно́жество: и҆ блгⷭ҇ви́ тѧ гдⷭ҇ь прише́ствїемъ мои́мъ: нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо когда̀ сотворю̀ и҆ а҆́зъ себѣ̀ до́мъ;
30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
31 И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ лава́нъ: что́ ти да́мъ; Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ і҆а́кѡвъ: не да́си мѝ ничто́же: а҆́ще сотвори́ши мѝ глаго́лъ се́й, па́ки пастѝ и҆́мамъ ѻ҆́вцы твоѧ̑, и҆ сохраню̀:
31 Laban said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
32 ѡ҆б̾идѝ всѧ̑ ѻ҆́вцы твоѧ̑ нн҃ѣ и҆ разлꙋчѝ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ всѧ́кꙋю ѻ҆́вцꙋ пеле́сꙋю во ѻ҆вца́хъ, и҆ всѧ́кꙋ бѣлова́тꙋю и҆ пе́стрꙋю въ коза́хъ, бꙋ́детъ мѝ мзда̀ (и҆ бꙋ́детъ моѐ):
32 I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.
33 и҆ послꙋ́шаетъ менѐ пра́вда моѧ̀ во ᲂу҆́трешнїй де́нь, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆́сть мзда̀ моѧ̀ пред̾ тобо́ю: всѐ є҆́же а҆́ще не бꙋ́детъ пестро̀ и҆ бѣлова́тое въ коза́хъ, и҆ пеле́со во ѻ҆вца́хъ, за ᲂу҆кра́деное бꙋ́детъ мно́ю.
33 So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be considered stolen.”
34 Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ лава́нъ: бꙋ́ди по словесѝ твоемꙋ̀.
34 Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”
35 И҆ разлꙋчѝ въ то́й де́нь козлы̀ пє́стрыѧ и҆ бѣлова̑тыѧ, и҆ всѧ̑ ко́зы пє́стрыѧ и҆ бѣлѡва́тыѧ, и҆ всѐ є҆́же бѣ̀ пеле́со во ѻ҆вца́хъ, и҆ всѐ є҆́же бѧ́ше бѣ́лое въ ни́хъ: и҆ дадѐ въ рꙋ́цѣ сынѡ́мъ свои̑мъ:
35 That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
36 и҆ разста́ви пꙋте́мъ тре́хъ дні́й, и҆ междꙋ̀ и҆́ми и҆ междꙋ̀ і҆а́кѡвомъ: і҆а́кѡвъ же пасѧ́ше ѻ҆́вцы лава́нѡвы ѡ҆ста́вшыѧсѧ.
36 He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37 Взѧ́ же і҆а́кѡвъ себѣ̀ же́злъ стѷракі́новъ зеле́ный, и҆ ѻ҆рѣ́ховъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́воровый: и҆ ѡ҆строга̀ ѧ҆̀ і҆а́кѡвъ пестре́нїемъ бѣ́лымъ, сострога́ѧ корꙋ̀: ꙗ҆влѧ́шесѧ же на жезла́хъ бѣ́лое, є҆́же ѡ҆строга̀, пестро̀.
37 Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, and plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
38 И҆ положѝ жезлы̀, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆строга̀, въ пои́льныхъ коры́тѣхъ воды̀: да є҆гда̀ прїи́дꙋтъ ѻ҆́вцы пи́ти, пред̾ жезлы̑ прише́дшымъ и҆̀мъ пи́ти, зачнꙋ́тъ ѻ҆́вцы по жезлѡ́мъ:
38 He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
39 и҆ зачина́хꙋ ѻ҆́вцы по жезлѡ́мъ, и҆ ражда́хꙋ ѻ҆́вцы бѣлѡва́тыѧ и҆ пє́стрыѧ и҆ пепелови̑дныѧ пє́стрыѧ.
39 The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.
40 А҆́гницы же разлꙋчѝ і҆а́кѡвъ и҆ поста́ви прѧ́мѡ ѻ҆вца́мъ ѻ҆вна̀ бѣлова́таго, и҆ всѧ́кое пе́строе во а҆́гнцахъ: и҆ разлꙋчѝ себѣ̀ стада̀ по себѣ̀, и҆ не смѣсѝ си́хъ со ѻ҆вца́ми лава́новыми.
40 Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in Laban’s flock. He put his own droves apart, and didn’t put them into Laban’s flock.
41 Бы́сть же во вре́мѧ, въ не́же зачина́хꙋ ѻ҆́вцы во чре́вѣ прїе́млющѧ, положѝ і҆а́кѡвъ жезлы̀ пред̾ ѻ҆вца́ми въ коры́тѣхъ, є҆́же зачина́ти и҆̀мъ по жезлѡ́мъ:
41 Whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, Jacob laid the rods in front of the eyes of the flock in the watering troughs, that they might conceive among the rods;
42 є҆гда́ же ражда́хꙋ ѻ҆́вцы, не полага́ше: бы́ша же неназнамена̑ныѧ лава́нѡвы, а҆ знамена̑ныѧ і҆а̑кѡвли.
42 but when the flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
43 И҆ разбогатѣ̀ человѣ́къ ѕѣлѡ̀ ѕѣлѡ̀: и҆ бы́ша є҆мꙋ̀ ско́ти мно́зи, и҆ воло́ве, и҆ рабѝ, и҆ рабы̑ни, и҆ вельблю́ды, и҆ ѻ҆слы̀.
43 The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
