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 заповѣ́да і҆ѡ́сифъ домострои́телю своемꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ: напо́лните врє́тища мꙋжє́мъ пи́щи, є҆ли́кѡ мо́гꙋтъ понестѝ: и҆ вложи́те комꙋ́ждо сребро̀ верхꙋ̀ ᲂу҆́стїѧ вре́тища:

1 He commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in his sack’s mouth.

2 и҆ ча́шꙋ мою̀ сре́брѧнꙋю вложи́те во вре́тище ме́ньшагѡ, и҆ цѣ́нꙋ пшени́цы є҆гѡ̀. Бы́сть же по словесѝ і҆ѡ́сифовꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ.

2 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

3 Оу҆́тро возсїѧ̀, и҆ мꙋ́жїе ѿпꙋсти́шасѧ са́ми, и҆ ѻ҆слѧ́та и҆́хъ.

3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.

4 И҆зше́дше же ѻ҆нѝ и҆з̾ гра́да, не ѿидо́ша дале́че: и҆ речѐ і҆ѡ́сифъ домострои́телю своемꙋ̀: воста́въ гонѝ в̾слѣ́дъ мꙋже́й и҆ пости́гни и҆̀хъ, и҆ рцы̀ и҆̀мъ: что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ возда́сте (꙳мѝ) ѕла̑ѧ за блага̑ѧ;

4 When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you rewarded evil for good?

5 вскꙋ́ю ᲂу҆крадо́сте ча́шꙋ мою̀ сре́брѧнꙋ; не сїѧ́ ли є҆́сть, и҆з̾ неѧ́же пїе́тъ господи́нъ мо́й; ѻ҆́нъ же и҆ волхвова́нїемъ волхвꙋ́етъ въ не́й: ѕла̑ѧ соверши́сте, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́сте.

5 Isn’t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”

6 Ѡ҆брѣ́тъ же и҆̀хъ, речѐ и҆̀мъ по словесє́мъ си̑мъ.

6 He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them.

7 Ѻ҆ни́ же рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: вскꙋ́ю глаго́летъ господи́нъ словеса̀ сїѧ̑; не бꙋ́ди рабѡ́мъ твои̑мъ сотвори́ти по словесѝ семꙋ̀:

7 They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!

8 а҆́ще сребро̀, є҆́же ѡ҆брѣто́хомъ во вре́тищахъ на́шихъ, возврати́хомъ къ тебѣ̀ ѿ землѝ ханаа́ни, ка́кѡ бы́хомъ ᲂу҆кра́ли и҆з̾ до́мꙋ господи́на твоегѡ̀ сребро̀ и҆лѝ зла́то;

8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?

9 ᲂу҆ негѡ́же а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щеши ча́шꙋ ѿ ра̑бъ твои́хъ, да ᲂу҆́мретъ: и҆ мы̀ бꙋ́демъ рабѝ господи́нꙋ на́шемꙋ.

9 With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.”

10 Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: и҆ нн҃ѣ, ꙗ҆́коже глаго́лете, та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ: ᲂу҆ негѡ́же а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ ча́ша, бꙋ́детъ мо́й ра́бъ, вы́ же бꙋ́дете чи́сти.

10 He said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom it is found will be my slave; and you will be blameless.”

11 И҆ потща́шасѧ, и҆ све́рже кі́йждо вре́тище своѐ на зе́млю, и҆ ѿверзо́ша кі́йждо вре́тище своѐ.

11 Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.

12 И҆зыска́ же ѿ старѣ́йшагѡ заче́нъ, до́ндеже прїи́де до ме́ньшагѡ, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те ча́шꙋ во вре́тищи венїамі́ни.

12 He searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

13 И҆ растерза́ша ри̑зы своѧ̑, и҆ возложи́ша кі́йждо вре́тище своѐ на ѻ҆слѧ̀ своѐ, и҆ возврати́шасѧ во гра́дъ.

13 Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.

14 Вни́де же і҆ꙋ́да и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ ко і҆ѡ́сифꙋ, є҆щѐ є҆мꙋ̀ сꙋ́щꙋ тꙋ̀, и҆ падо́ша пред̾ ни́мъ на зе́млю.

14 Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.

15 Рече́ же и҆̀мъ і҆ѡ́сифъ: что̀ дѣ́ло сїѐ сотвори́сте; не вѣ́дасте ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть волхвова́тель человѣ́къ, ꙗ҆́коже а҆́зъ;

15 Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed do divination?”

16 Рече́ же і҆ꙋ́да: что̀ ѿвѣща́емъ господи́нꙋ, и҆лѝ что̀ возглаго́лемъ, и҆лѝ чи́мъ ѡ҆правди́мсѧ; бг҃ъ же ѡ҆брѣ́те непра́вдꙋ рабѡ́въ твои́хъ: сѐ, мы̀ є҆смы̀ рабѝ господи́нꙋ на́шемꙋ, и҆ мы̀, и҆ ᲂу҆ негѡ́же ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ ча́ша.

16 Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? How will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”

17 Рече́ же і҆ѡ́сифъ: не бꙋ́ди мѝ сотвори́ти глаго́лъ се́й: мꙋ́жъ, ᲂу҆ негѡ́же ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ ча́ша, то́й бꙋ́детъ мѝ ра́бъ: вы́ же поиди́те въ цѣ́лости ко ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀.

17 He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”

18 Пристꙋпи́въ же къ немꙋ̀ і҆ꙋ́да, речѐ: молю́ тѧ, господи́не, да рече́тъ ра́бъ тво́й сло́во пред̾ тобо́ю, и҆ не прогнѣ́вайсѧ на раба̀ твоего̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ є҆сѝ по фараѡ́нѣ:

18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.

19 господи́не, ты̀ вопроша́лъ є҆сѝ рабѡ́въ твои́хъ, глаго́лѧ: а҆́ще и҆́мате ѻ҆тца̀, и҆лѝ бра́та;

19 My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father, or a brother?’

20 И҆ рѣ́хомъ господи́нꙋ: є҆́сть на́мъ ѻ҆те́цъ ста́ръ, и҆ ѻ҆́трочищь на ста́рость ме́ньшїй є҆мꙋ̀, а҆ бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆́мре, ѻ҆́нъ же є҆ди́нъ ѡ҆ста́сѧ ᲂу҆ ма́тере своеѧ̀, ѻ҆те́цъ же возлюбѝ є҆го̀.

20 We said to my lord, ‘We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.’

21 Ты́ же ре́клъ є҆сѝ рабѡ́мъ твои̑мъ: приведи́те є҆го̀ ко мнѣ̀, да ви́ждꙋ є҆го̀.

21 You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’

22 И҆ рѣ́хомъ господи́нꙋ: не возмо́жетъ ѻ҆́трочищь ѡ҆ста́вити ѻ҆тца̀ своего̀: а҆́ще же ѡ҆ста́витъ ѻ҆тца̀, ᲂу҆́мретъ.

22 We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’

23 Ты́ же ре́клъ є҆сѝ рабѡ́мъ твои̑мъ: а҆́ще не прїи́детъ бра́тъ ва́шъ ме́ньшїй съ ва́ми, не приложитѐ ктомꙋ̀ ви́дѣти лица̀ моегѡ̀.

23 You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’

24 Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ прїидо́хомъ къ рабꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ на́шемꙋ, повѣ́дахомъ є҆мꙋ̀ словеса̀ господи́на на́шегѡ,

24 When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

25 рече́ же на́мъ ѻ҆те́цъ на́шъ: и҆ди́те па́ки и҆ кꙋпи́те на́мъ ма́лѡ пи́щи.

25 Our father said, ‘Go again and buy us a little food.’

26 Мы́ же реко́хомъ: не возмо́жемъ и҆тѝ: но а҆́ще бра́тъ на́шъ ме́ньшїй и҆́детъ съ на́ми, по́йдемъ: и҆́бо не возмо́жемъ ви́дѣти лицѐ мꙋ́жа, бра́тꙋ на́шемꙋ ме́ньшемꙋ не сꙋ́щꙋ съ на́ми.

26 We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’

27 Рече́ же ра́бъ тво́й, ѻ҆те́цъ на́шъ къ на́мъ: вы̀ вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ двои́хъ родѝ мнѣ̀ жена̀:

27 Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.

28 и҆ ѿи́де є҆ди́нъ ѿ менє̀, и҆ реко́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕвѣ́ремъ снѣде́нъ бы́сть, и҆ не ви́дѣхъ є҆гѡ̀ да́же до нн҃ѣ:

28 One went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t seen him since.

29 а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо по́ймете и҆ сего̀ ѿ лица̀ моегѡ̀, и҆ слꙋчи́тсѧ є҆мꙋ̀ ѕло̀ на пꙋтѝ, и҆ сведе́те ста́рость мою̀ съ печа́лїю во а҆́дъ.

29 If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.’

30 Нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо а҆́ще пойдꙋ̀ къ рабꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀, ѻ҆тцꙋ́ же на́шемꙋ, и҆ ѻ҆́трочища не бꙋ́детъ съ на́ми: (꙳дꙋша́ же є҆гѡ̀ свѧ́зана є҆́сть съ дꙋше́ю сегѡ̀,)

30 Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;

31 и҆ бꙋ́детъ є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆ви́дитъ ѻ҆́нъ не сꙋ́ща ѻ҆́трочища съ на́ми, ᲂу҆́мретъ: и҆ сведꙋ́тъ рабѝ твоѝ ста́рость раба̀ твоегѡ̀, ѻ҆тца́ же на́шегѡ, съ печа́лїю во а҆́дъ:

31 it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol.

32 ра́бъ бо тво́й ѿ ѻ҆тца̀ взѧ̀ ѻ҆́трочища, глаго́лѧ: а҆́ще не приведꙋ̀ є҆го̀ къ тебѣ̀ и҆ поста́влю є҆го̀ пред̾ тобо́ю, грѣ́шенъ бꙋ́дꙋ ко ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ всѧ̑ дни̑.

32 For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’

33 Нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо пребꙋ́дꙋ тебѣ̀ ра́бъ вмѣ́стѡ ѻ҆́трочища, ра́бъ господи́нꙋ: ѻ҆́трочищь же да и҆́детъ съ бра́тїею свое́ю:

33 Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.

34 ка́кѡ бо пойдꙋ̀ ко ѻ҆тцꙋ̀, ѻ҆́трочищꙋ не сꙋ́щꙋ съ на́ми; да не ви́ждꙋ ѕлы́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтъ ѻ҆тца̀ моего̀.

34 For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?—lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”
