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 Видѣ́нїе, є҆́же ви́дѣ и҆са́їа сы́нъ а҆мѡ́совъ, є҆́же ви́дѣ на і҆ꙋде́ю и҆ на і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, въ ца́рство ѻ҆зі́и и҆ і҆ѡаѳа́ма, и҆ а҆ха́за и҆ є҆зекі́и, и҆̀же ца́рствоваша во і҆ꙋде́и.
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Слы́ши, нб҃о, и҆ внꙋшѝ, землѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь возгл҃а: сы́ны роди́хъ и҆ возвы́сихъ, ті́и же ѿверго́шасѧ менє̀.
2 Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children and they have rebelled against me.
3 Позна̀ во́лъ стѧжа́вшаго и҆̀, и҆ ѻ҆се́лъ ꙗ҆́сли господи́на своегѡ̀: і҆и҃ль же менє̀ не позна̀, и҆ лю́дїе моѝ не разꙋмѣ́ша.
3 The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib; but Israel doesn’t know. My people don’t consider.”
4 Оу҆вы̀, ꙗ҆зы́къ грѣ́шный, лю́дїе и҆спо́лнени грѣхѡ́въ, сѣ́мѧ лꙋка́вое, сы́нове беззако́ннїи, ѡ҆ста́висте гдⷭ҇а и҆ разгнѣ́васте ст҃а́го і҆и҃лева, ѿврати́стесѧ вспѧ́ть.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.
5 Что̀ є҆щѐ ᲂу҆ѧзвлѧ́етесѧ, прилага́юще беззако́нїе; Всѧ́каѧ глава̀ въ болѣ́знь, и҆ всѧ́кое се́рдце въ печа́ль.
5 Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 Ѿ но́гъ да́же до главы̀ нѣ́сть въ не́мъ цѣ́лости: ни стрꙋ́пъ, ни ꙗ҆́зва, ни ра́на палѧ́щаѧсѧ: нѣ́сть пла́стырѧ приложи́ти, нижѐ є҆ле́а, нижѐ ѡ҆бѧза́нїѧ.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven’t been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.
7 Землѧ̀ ва́ша пꙋста̀, гра́ди ва́ши ѻ҆гне́мъ пожже́ни, странꙋ̀ ва́шꙋ пред̾ ва́ми чꙋжді́и поѧда́ютъ, и҆ ѡ҆пꙋстѣ̀ низвраще́на ѿ люді́й чꙋжди́хъ.
7 Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 Ѡ҆ста́витсѧ дще́рь сїѡ́нѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ кꙋ́ща въ вїногра́дѣ и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆во́щное храни́лище въ вертогра́дѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ гра́дъ вою́емый.
8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.
9 И҆ а҆́ще не бы̀ гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ ѡ҆ста́вилъ на́мъ сѣ́мене, ꙗ҆́кѡ содо́ма ᲂу҆́бѡ бы́ли бы́хомъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ гомо́ррꙋ ᲂу҆подо́билисѧ бы́хомъ.
9 Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah.
10 Оу҆слы́шите сло́во гдⷭ҇не, кнѧ̑зи содо́мстїи: внемли́те зако́нꙋ бж҃їю, лю́дїе гомо́ррстїи.
10 Hear Yahweh’s word, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
11 Что́ ми мно́жество же́ртвъ ва́шихъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь; И҆спо́лненъ є҆́смь всесожже́нїй ѻ҆́внихъ и҆ тꙋ́ка а҆́гнцєвъ, и҆ кро́ве ю҆нцє́въ и҆ козлѡ́въ не хощꙋ̀.
11 “What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?”, says Yahweh. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed animals. I don’t delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.
12 Нижѐ приходи́те ꙗ҆ви́тисѧ мѝ: кто́ бо и҆зыска̀ сїѧ̑ и҆з̾ рꙋ́къ ва́шихъ; Ходи́ти по дворꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀ не приложитѐ.
12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
13 И҆ а҆́ще принесе́те мѝ семїда́лъ, всꙋ́е: кади́ло ме́рзость мѝ є҆́сть.
13 Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me. New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations— I can’t stand evil assemblies.
14 Новомⷭ҇чїй ва́шихъ и҆ сꙋббѡ́тъ и҆ днѐ вели́кагѡ не потерплю̀: поста̀ и҆ пра́здности, и҆ новомⷭ҇чїй ва́шихъ и҆ пра́здникѡвъ ва́шихъ ненави́дитъ дш҃а̀ моѧ̀: бы́сте мѝ въ сы́тость, ктомꙋ̀ не стерплю̀ грѣхѡ́въ ва́шихъ.
14 My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.
15 Є҆гда̀ простре́те рꙋ́ки (ва́шѧ) ко мнѣ̀, ѿвращꙋ̀ ѻ҆́чи моѝ ѿ ва́съ: и҆ а҆́ще ᲂу҆мно́жите моле́нїе, не ᲂу҆слы́шꙋ ва́съ: рꙋ́ки бо ва́шѧ и҆спо́лнєны кро́ве.
15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.
16 И҆змы́йтесѧ, (и҆) чи́сти бꙋ́дите, ѿими́те лꙋка̑вства ѿ дꙋ́шъ ва́шихъ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма мои́ма, преста́ните ѿ лꙋка́вствъ ва́шихъ.
16 Wash yourselves. Make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
17 Наꙋчи́тесѧ добро̀ твори́ти, взыщи́те сꙋда̀, и҆зба́вите ѡ҆би́димаго, сꙋди́те си́рꙋ и҆ ѡ҆правди́те вдови́цꙋ,
17 Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow.”
18 и҆ прїиди́те, и҆ и҆стѧ́жимсѧ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь. И҆ а҆́ще бꙋ́дꙋтъ грѣсѝ ва́ши ꙗ҆́кѡ багрѧ́ное, ꙗ҆́кѡ снѣ́гъ ᲂу҆бѣлю̀: а҆́ще же бꙋ́дꙋтъ ꙗ҆́кѡ червле́ное, ꙗ҆́кѡ во́лнꙋ ᲂу҆бѣлю̀.
18 “Come now, and let’s reason together,” says Yahweh: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 И҆ а҆́ще хо́щете и҆ послꙋ́шаете менѐ, блага̑ѧ землѝ снѣ́сте:
19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land;
20 а҆́ще же не хо́щете, нижѐ послꙋ́шаете менѐ, ме́чь вы̀ поѧ́стъ: ᲂу҆ста́ бо гдⷭ҇нѧ гл҃аша сїѧ̑.
20 but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword; for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.”
21 Ка́кѡ бы́сть блꙋдни́ца гра́дъ вѣ́рный сїѡ́нъ по́лнъ сꙋда̀; въ не́мже пра́вда почива́ше, нн҃ѣ же (въ не́мъ) ᲂу҆бі̑йцы.
21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice. Righteousness lodged in her, but now there are murderers.
22 Сребро̀ ва́ше неискꙋше́но, корчє́мницы твоѝ мѣша́ютъ вїно̀ съ водо́ю.
22 Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
23 Кнѧ̑зи твоѝ не покарѧ́ютсѧ, ѡ҆́бщницы татє́мъ, лю́бѧще да́ры, гонѧ́ще воздаѧ́нїе, си̑рымъ не сꙋдѧ́щїи и҆ сꙋдꙋ̀ вдови́цъ не внима́ющїи.
23 Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards. They don’t defend the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
24 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди та́кѡ гл҃етъ влⷣка гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ: го́ре крѣ̑пкимъ во і҆и҃ли: не преста́нетъ бо ꙗ҆́рость моѧ̀ на проти̑вныѧ, и҆ сꙋ́дъ врагѡ́мъ мои̑мъ сотворю̀:
24 Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says: “Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge myself on my enemies.
25 и҆ наведꙋ̀ рꙋ́кꙋ мою̀ на тѧ̀, и҆ разжегꙋ̀ въ чистотꙋ̀, непокарѧ́ющихсѧ же погꙋблю̀, и҆ ѿимꙋ̀ всѣ́хъ беззако́нныхъ ѿ тебє̀, и҆ всѣ́хъ го́рдыхъ смирю̀.
25 I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.
26 И҆ приста́влю сꙋдїи̑ твоѧ̑ ꙗ҆́коже пре́жде, и҆ совѣ́тники твоѧ̑ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ нача́ла: и҆ по си́хъ нарече́шисѧ гра́дъ пра́вды, ма́ти градовѡ́мъ, вѣ́рный сїѡ́нъ.
26 I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called ‘The city of righteousness, a faithful town.’
27 Съ сꙋдо́мъ бо спасе́тсѧ плѣне́нїе є҆гѡ̀ и҆ съ ми́лостынею.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.
28 И҆ сокрꙋша́тсѧ беззако́ннїи и҆ грѣ̑шницы вкꙋ́пѣ, и҆ ѡ҆ста́вившїи гдⷭ҇а сконча́ютсѧ:
28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.
29 зане́же постыдѧ́тсѧ ѡ҆ і҆́дѡлѣхъ свои́хъ, и҆́хже са́ми восхотѣ́ша, и҆ посра́мѧтсѧ ѡ҆ садѣ́хъ свои́хъ, и҆́хже возжелѣ́ша.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
30 Бꙋ́дꙋтъ бо ꙗ҆́кѡ тереві́нѳъ ѿме́тнꙋвый ли́ствїѧ (своѧ̑), и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ вертогра́дъ не и҆мы́й воды̀.
30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
31 И҆ бꙋ́детъ крѣ́пость и҆́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ сте́бль и҆згре́бїѧ, и҆ дѣ̑ланїѧ и҆́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́скры ѻ҆́гнєнныѧ, и҆ сожгꙋ́тсѧ беззакѡ́нницы и҆ грѣ̑шницы вкꙋ́пѣ, и҆ не бꙋ́детъ ᲂу҆гаша́ѧй.
31 The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”

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).
And if ye be willing and obey Me, ye shall eat the good of the land; but if ye refuse, and will not hearken unto Me, the sword shall devour you, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken these things." Desiring, therefore, that all His beloved should be partakers of repentance, He has, by His almighty will, established [these …
He spoke as from their person: "Except the Lord had left us a seed, we should have been as Sodom and Gomorrah." For Sodom and Gomorrah are related by Moses to have been cities of ungodly men, which God burned with fire and brimstone, and overthrew, no one of their inhabitants being saved except a certain stranger, a Chaldæan by …
He says: "Hear, O heavens; and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken." And again: "Thus saith the Lord God, who made the heaven, and stretched it out; who established the earth, and the things in it; and who giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them who walk therein."
… for the prophets often show that this same Lord of ours might have been their Father also, if they had not strayed from His commandments: as, for instance, we have that statement, "I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me;" and that other, "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children …

And the city, too, it is said, shall be called "the city of righteousness, the faithful city Sion." And yet we nowhere find that the city was called "righteousness," but it continued to be called Jerusalem.
