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 Слы́шите сло́во гдⷭ҇не, сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы, ꙗ҆́кѡ сꙋ́дъ гдⷭ҇еви къ живꙋ́щымъ на землѝ: занѐ нѣ́сть и҆́стины, ни ми́лости, ни вѣ́дѣнїѧ бж҃їѧ на землѝ:
1 Hear Yahweh’s word, you children of Israel, for Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “Indeed there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 клѧ́тва и҆ лжа̀, и҆ ᲂу҆бі́йство и҆ татьба̀ и҆ любодѣѧ́нїе разлїѧ́сѧ по землѝ, и҆ кро́вь съ кровьмѝ мѣша́ютъ.
2 There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.
3 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди воспла́четсѧ землѧ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆ма́литсѧ со всѣ́ми всели́вшимисѧ на не́й, со ѕвѣрьмѝ польски́ми и҆ съ га̑ды зємны́ми и҆ со пти́цами небе́сными, и҆ ры̑бы морскі̑ѧ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ютъ:
3 Therefore the land will mourn, and everyone who dwells in it will waste away, with all living things in her, even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky; yes, the fish of the sea also die.
4 ꙗ҆́кѡ да никто́же не при́тсѧ, ни ѡ҆блича́етсѧ никто́же: лю́дїе же моѝ а҆́ки прерѣка́емый жре́цъ,
4 “Yet let no man bring a charge, neither let any man accuse; for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.
5 и҆ и҆знемо́жетъ во дне́хъ, и҆ и҆знемо́жетъ проро́къ съ тобо́ю: но́щи ᲂу҆подо́бихъ ма́терь твою̀.
5 You will stumble in the day, and the prophet will also stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother.
6 Оу҆подо́бишасѧ лю́дїе моѝ а҆́ки не и҆мꙋ́ще ᲂу҆мѣ́нїѧ: ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ ᲂу҆мѣ́нїе ѿве́рглъ є҆сѝ, ѿве́ргꙋ и҆ а҆́зъ тебѐ, є҆́же не жре́чествовати мнѣ̀, и҆ забы́лъ є҆сѝ зако́нъ бг҃а своегѡ̀, забꙋ́дꙋ и҆ а҆́зъ ча̑да твоѧ̑.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God’s law, I will also forget your children.
7 По мно́жествꙋ и҆́хъ та́кѡ согрѣши́ша мнѣ̀: сла́вꙋ и҆́хъ въ безче́стїе положꙋ̀.
7 As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me. I will change their glory into shame.
8 Грѣхѝ люді́й мои́хъ снѣдѧ́тъ и҆ въ непра́вдахъ и҆́хъ во́змꙋтъ дꙋ́шы и҆́хъ.
8 They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
9 И҆ бꙋ́детъ ꙗ҆́коже лю́дїе, та́кѡ и҆ жре́цъ: и҆ ѿмщꙋ̀ на ни́хъ пꙋти̑ и҆́хъ, и҆ ᲂу҆мышлє́нїѧ и҆́хъ возда́мъ и҆̀мъ.
9 It will be like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will repay them for their deeds.
10 И҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ ꙗ҆́сти и҆ не насы́тѧтсѧ: соблꙋди́ша и҆ не и҆спра́вѧтсѧ: поне́же гдⷭ҇а ѡ҆ста́виша є҆́же снабдѣ́ти.
10 They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned listening to Yahweh.
11 Блꙋ́дъ и҆ вїно̀ и҆ пїѧ́нство прїѧ́тъ се́рдце люді́й мои́хъ.
11 Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away understanding.
12 Въ зна́менїихъ вопроша́хꙋ и҆ въ жезлѣ́хъ свои́хъ повѣ́дахꙋ тѣ́мъ: дꙋ́хомъ блꙋже́нїѧ прельсти́шасѧ и҆ соблꙋди́ша ѿ бг҃а своегѡ̀:
12 My people consult with their wooden idol, and answer to a stick of wood. Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have been unfaithful to their God.
13 на версѣ́хъ го́ръ кадѧ́хꙋ и҆ на холмѣ́хъ жрѧ́хꙋ под̾ дꙋ́бомъ и҆ под̾ є҆́лїю и҆ под̾ дре́вомъ вѣ́твеннымъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ до́бръ кро́въ: сегѡ̀ ра́ди соблꙋ́дѧтъ дщє́ри ва́шѧ, и҆ невѣ̑сты ва́шѧ возлюбодѣ́ютъ.
13 They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and burn incense on the hills, under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, because its shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the prostitute, and your brides commit adultery.
14 И҆ не присѣщꙋ̀ на дщє́ри ва́шѧ, є҆гда̀ соблꙋ́дѧтъ, и҆ на невѣ̑сты ва́шѧ, є҆гда̀ возлюбодѣ́ютъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ ті́и со блꙋдни́цами смѣси́шасѧ и҆ со блꙋдника́ми трє́бы жрѧ́хꙋ, и҆ лю́дїе смы́слѧщїи со блꙋдни́цею сплета́хꙋсѧ.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; because the men consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; so the people without understanding will come to ruin.
15 Ты́ же, і҆и҃лю, не не разꙋмѣва́й, и҆ і҆ꙋ́до: не входи́те въ галга́лꙋ и҆ не восходи́те въ до́мъ ѡ҆́новъ, и҆ не клени́тесѧ гдⷭ҇емъ живы̑мъ.
15 “Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet don’t let Judah offend; and don’t come to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth Aven, nor swear, ‘As Yahweh lives.’
16 Занѐ ꙗ҆́коже ю҆́ница стрѣка́ломъ стрѣ́чема разсвирѣ́пѣ і҆и҃ль: нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆пасе́тъ ѧ҆̀ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гнца на простра́нствѣ.
16 For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Then how will Yahweh feed them like a lamb in a meadow?
17 Прича́стникъ кꙋмі́рѡмъ є҆фре́мъ положѝ себѣ̀ собла́зны,
17 Ephraim is joined to idols. Leave him alone!
18 и҆збра̀ ханане́ѡвъ: блꙋдѧ́ще возблꙋди́ша, возлюби́ша безче́стїе ѿ хрепета́нїѧ своегѡ̀.
18 Their drink has become sour. They play the prostitute continually. Her rulers dearly love their shameful way.
19 Ви́хръ дꙋ́ха возсви́щетъ въ крилѣ́хъ свои́хъ, и҆ посра́мѧтсѧ ѿ тре́бищъ свои́хъ.
19 The wind has wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be disappointed because of their sacrifices.

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).
… it:" and "let us walk honestly as in the day." "For all things serve Thee." He said all things of some: "all" which belong to this day "serve Thee." For the ungodly of whom it is said, "I have compared thy mother unto the night," do not serve Thee.

But sin also is called spirit, as I have already said; only in another and opposite sense, as when it is said, The spirit of whoredom caused them to err.
