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 Тѣ́мже ᲂу҆̀бо и҆ мы̀, толи́къ и҆мꙋ́ще ѡ҆блежа́щь на́съ ѡ҆́блакъ свидѣ́телей, го́рдость всѧ́кꙋ ѿло́жше и҆ ᲂу҆до́бь ѡ҆бстоѧ́тельный грѣ́хъ, терпѣ́нїемъ да тече́мъ на предлежа́щїй на́мъ по́двигъ,
1 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
2 взира́юще на нача́льника вѣ́ры и҆ соверши́телѧ і҆и҃са, и҆́же вмѣ́стѡ предлежа́щїѧ є҆мꙋ̀ ра́дости претерпѣ̀ крⷭ҇тъ, ѡ҆ срамотѣ̀ неради́въ, ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю же прⷭ҇то́ла бж҃їѧ сѣ́де.
2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Помы́слите ᲂу҆̀бо таково́е пострада́вшаго ѿ грѣ̑шникъ на себѐ прекосло́вїе, да не стꙋжа́ете, дꙋша́ми свои́ми ѡ҆слаблѧ́еми.
3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.
4 Не ᲂу҆̀ до кро́ве ста́сте, проти́вꙋ грѣха̀ подвиза́ющесѧ,
4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
5 и҆ забы́сте ᲂу҆тѣше́нїе, є҆́же ва́мъ ꙗ҆́кѡ сынѡ́мъ глаго́летъ: сы́не мо́й, не пренемога́й наказа́нїемъ гдⷭ҇нимъ, нижѐ ѡ҆слабѣ́й, ѿ негѡ̀ ѡ҆блича́емь.
5 You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
6 Є҆го́же бо лю́битъ гдⷭ҇ь, наказꙋ́етъ: бїе́тъ же всѧ́каго сы́на, є҆го́же прїе́млетъ.
6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
7 А҆́ще наказа́нїе терпитѐ, ꙗ҆́коже сыновѡ́мъ ѡ҆брѣта́етсѧ ва́мъ бг҃ъ. Кото́рый бо є҆́сть сы́нъ, є҆гѡ́же не наказꙋ́етъ ѻ҆те́цъ;
7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
8 А҆́ще же без̾ наказа́нїѧ є҆стѐ, є҆мꙋ́же прича̑стницы бы́ша всѝ, ᲂу҆̀бо прелюбодѣ̑йчищи є҆стѐ, а҆ не сы́нове.
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
9 Къ си̑мъ, пло́ти на́шей ѻ҆тцы̀ и҆мѣ́хомъ наказа́тєли, и҆ срамлѧ́хомсѧ: не мно́гѡ ли па́че повине́мсѧ ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀ дꙋховѡ́мъ, и҆ жи́ви бꙋ́демъ;
9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
10 Ѻ҆ни́ бо въ ма́ло дні́й, ꙗ҆́коже го́дѣ и҆̀мъ бѣ̀, нака́зовахꙋ на́съ: а҆ се́й на по́льзꙋ, да причасти́мсѧ ст҃ы́ни є҆гѡ̀.
10 For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
11 Всѧ́кое бо наказа́нїе въ настоѧ́щее вре́мѧ не мни́тсѧ ра́дость бы́ти, но печа́ль: послѣди́ же пло́дъ ми́ренъ наꙋчє́нымъ тѣ́мъ воздае́тъ пра́вды.
11 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
12 Тѣ́мже ѡ҆сла́блєнныѧ рꙋ́ки и҆ ѡ҆сла́блєннаѧ колѣ̑на и҆спра́вите
12 Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
13 и҆ стєзѝ пра̑вы сотвори́те нога́ми ва́шими, да не хро́мое соврати́тсѧ, но па́че да и҆сцѣлѣ́етъ.
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
14 Ми́ръ и҆мѣ́йте и҆ ст҃ы́ню со всѣ́ми, и҆́хже кромѣ̀ никто́же ᲂу҆́зритъ гдⷭ҇а:
14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
15 смотрѧ́юще, да не кто̀ лиши́тсѧ блгⷣти бж҃їѧ: да не кі́й ко́рень го́рести, вы́спрь прозѧба́ѧй, па́кость сотвори́тъ, и҆ тѣ́мъ ѡ҆сквернѧ́тсѧ мно́зи:
15 looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,
16 да не кто̀ блꙋдодѣ́й, и҆лѝ скверни́тель, ꙗ҆́коже и҆са́ѵъ, и҆́же за ꙗ҆́дь є҆ди́нꙋ ѿда́лъ є҆́сть перворо́дство своѐ.
16 lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
17 Вѣ́сте бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ пото́мъ похотѣ́въ наслѣ́довати блгⷭ҇ве́нїе, ѿве́рженъ бы́сть: покаѧ́нїѧ бо мѣ́ста не ѡ҆брѣ́те, а҆́ще и҆ со слеза́ми поиска́лъ є҆гѡ̀.
17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
18 Не пристꙋпи́сте бо къ горѣ̀ ѡ҆сѧза́емѣй и҆ разгорѣ́вшемꙋсѧ ѻ҆гню̀, и҆ ѡ҆́блакꙋ и҆ сꙋмра́кꙋ, и҆ бꙋ́рѣ
18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
19 и҆ трꙋ́бномꙋ звꙋ́кꙋ, и҆ гла́сꙋ гл҃гѡ́лъ, є҆гѡ́же слы́шавшїи ѿреко́шасѧ, да не приложи́тсѧ и҆̀мъ сло́во,
19 the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
20 не терпѧ́хꙋ бо повелѣва́ющагѡ: а҆́ще и҆ ѕвѣ́рь прико́снетсѧ горѣ̀, ка́менїемъ побїе́нъ бꙋ́детъ:
20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.
21 и҆ та́кѡ стра́шно бѣ̀ ви́димое, мѡѷсе́й речѐ: пристра́шенъ є҆́смь и҆ тре́петенъ.
21 So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
22 Но пристꙋпи́сте къ сїѡ́нстѣй горѣ̀ и҆ ко гра́дꙋ бг҃а жива́гѡ, і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мꙋ нбⷭ҇номꙋ и҆ тьма́мъ а҆́гг҃лѡвъ,
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
23 торжествꙋ̀ и҆ цр҃кви перворо́дныхъ на нб҃сѣ́хъ напи́санныхъ, и҆ сꙋдїѝ всѣ́хъ бг҃ꙋ и҆ дꙋхѡ́мъ првⷣникъ соверше́нныхъ,
23 to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 и҆ къ хода́таю завѣ́та но́вагѡ і҆и҃сꙋ и҆ кро́ви кропле́нїѧ, лꙋ́чше глаго́лющей, не́жели а҆́велева.
24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
25 Блюди́те (же), да не ѿрече́тесѧ гл҃ющагѡ. А҆́ще бо не и҆збѣжа́ша ѻ҆нѝ ѿре́кшїисѧ прⷪ҇ро́чествꙋющагѡ на землѝ, мно́жае па́че мы̀ ѿрица́ющїисѧ нбⷭ҇нагѡ,
25 See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
26 є҆гѡ́же гла́съ зе́млю тогда̀ поколеба̀, нн҃ѣ же ѡ҆бѣтова̀, гл҃ѧ: є҆щѐ є҆ди́ною а҆́зъ потрѧсꙋ̀ не то́кмѡ земле́ю, но и҆ нб҃омъ.
26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”
27 А҆ є҆́же є҆щѐ є҆ди́ною, сказꙋ́етъ коле́блемыхъ преложе́нїе, а҆́ки сотворе́нныхъ, да пребꙋ́дꙋтъ, ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть неподви̑жимаѧ.
27 This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
28 Тѣ́мже црⷭ҇тво непоколеби́мо прїе́млюще, да и҆́мамы блгⷣть, є҆́юже слꙋ́жимъ бл҃гоꙋго́днѡ бг҃ꙋ съ бл҃гоговѣ́нїемъ и҆ стра́хомъ,
28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
29 и҆́бо бг҃ъ на́шъ ѻ҆́гнь поѧда́ѧй (є҆́сть).
29 for our God is a consuming fire.

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).
There are two kinds of consolation, apparently opposed to one another, but yet contributing great strength each to the other; both of which he has here put forward.

For thus saith the holy Word: "The Lord hath severely chastened me, yet hath not given me over to death." "For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth." "The righteous," saith it, "shall chasten me in mercy, and reprove me; but let not the oil of sinners make fat my head." And again he …
… between thee and him alone." So too of sins which may create scandal the apostle says, "Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear." For this purpose, and that we may keep that peace without which no man can see the Lord, many precepts are given which carefully inculcate mutual forgiveness; among which we may number that …

Since, if the Jews, when they were to approach "a mountain that burned, and fire, and blackness, and darkness, and tempest;" --or rather when they were not so much as to approach, but both to see and to hear these things from afar;--were commanded for three days before to abstain from their wives, and to wash their garments, and were …

For you, brethren, a great crown is laid up: barter not away a great dignity for a petty pleasure: listen to the Apostle speaking: Lest there be any fornicator or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright.
