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.
Isaiah is not in PT1904.

1 When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into Yahweh’s house.
·
2 и҆ посла̀ є҆лїакі́ма домострои́телѧ, и҆ со́мнꙋ книго́чїѧ, и҆ старѣ̑йшины жре́чєски ѡ҆болчє́ны во врє́тища ко и҆са́їи прⷪ҇ро́кꙋ сы́нꙋ а҆мѡ́совꙋ.
2 He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

3 И҆ реко́ша є҆мꙋ̀: сїѧ̑ глаго́летъ є҆зекі́а: де́нь печа́ли и҆ ᲂу҆кори́зны и҆ ѡ҆бличе́нїѧ и҆ гнѣ́ва дне́шнїй де́нь, поне́же прїи́де болѣ́знь ражда́ющей, крѣ́пости же не и҆мѣ́етъ роди́ти:
3 They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to give birth.
·
4 да ᲂу҆слы́шитъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й словеса̀ раѱа́кѡва, ꙗ҆̀же посла̀ ца́рь а҆ссѷрі́йскїй, господи́нъ є҆гѡ̀, ᲂу҆корѧ́ти бг҃а жива́го и҆ поноси́ти словесы̀, ꙗ҆̀же слы́ша гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й, и҆ да помо́лишисѧ ко гдⷭ҇еви бг҃ꙋ твоемꙋ̀ ѡ҆ ѡ҆ста́вшихсѧ си́хъ.
4 It may be Yahweh your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”
·
5 И҆ прїидо́ша ѻ҆́троцы царѧ̀ є҆зекі́и ко и҆са́їи.
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
·
6 И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ и҆са́їа: си́це рцы́те ко господи́нꙋ ва́шемꙋ: сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: не ᲂу҆бо́йсѧ ѿ слове́съ, ꙗ҆̀же є҆сѝ слы́шалъ, и҆́миже ᲂу҆кори́ша мѧ̀ послы̀ царѧ̀ а҆ссѷрі́йска:
6 Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘Yahweh says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
·
7 сѐ, а҆́зъ вложꙋ̀ въ него̀ дꙋ́хъ, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шавъ вѣ́сть возврати́тсѧ во странꙋ̀ свою̀ и҆ паде́тъ мече́мъ на свое́й землѝ.
7 Behold, I will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”’”
·
8 И҆ возврати́сѧ раѱа́къ и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те царѧ̀ а҆ссѷрі́йскаго ѡ҆блежа́ща ловнꙋ̀: и҆ ᲂу҆слы́ша ца́рь а҆ссѷрі́йскъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿи́де ѿ лахі́са,
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.
·
9 и҆ и҆зы́де ѳарака̀ ца́рь є҆ѳїо́пскїй воева́ти на́нь: и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шавъ возврати́сѧ и҆ посла̀ послы̀ ко є҆зекі́и, глаго́лѧ:
9 He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
·
10 си́це рцы́те є҆зекі́и царю̀ і҆ꙋде́йскꙋ: да не прельща́етъ бг҃ъ тво́й тебѐ, на него́же ᲂу҆пова́ѧ є҆сѝ, глаго́лѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не преда́стсѧ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ въ рꙋ́цѣ царѧ̀ а҆ссѷрі́йска:
10 “Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
·
11 и҆лѝ не слы́шалъ є҆сѝ ты̀, что̀ сотвори́ша ца́рїе а҆ссѷрі́йстїи, ка́кѡ всю̀ зе́млю погꙋби́ша, и҆ ты́ ли и҆зба́вишисѧ;
11 Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered?
·
12 є҆да̀ и҆зба́виша си́хъ бо́зи ꙗ҆зы́честїи, и҆̀хже погꙋби́ша ѻ҆тцы̀ моѝ, гѡза́нъ и҆ харра́нъ и҆ расе́мъ, и҆̀же сꙋ́ть во странѣ̀ ѳеема́ѳи;
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
·
13 гдѣ̀ сꙋ́ть ца́рїе є҆ма́ѳѡвы, и҆ гдѣ̀ а҆рфа́ѳѡвы, и҆ гдѣ̀ гра́да є҆пфарꙋе́ма, а҆нагꙋга́на;
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’”
·
14 И҆ взѧ̀ є҆зекі́а кни́гꙋ ѿ послѡ́въ и҆ прочтѐ ю҆̀, и҆ вни́де во хра́мъ гдⷭ҇ень и҆ ѿве́рзе ю҆̀ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ.
14 Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to Yahweh’s house, and spread it before Yahweh.
·
16 гдⷭ҇и саваѡ́ѳъ, бж҃е і҆и҃левъ, сѣдѧ́й на херꙋві́мѣхъ, ты̀ є҆сѝ бг҃ъ є҆ди́нъ цр҃ь всѧ́кагѡ ца́рства вселе́нныѧ, ты̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ не́бо и҆ зе́млю:
16 “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
·
17 приклонѝ, гдⷭ҇и, ᲂу҆́хо твоѐ, ᲂу҆слы́ши, гдⷭ҇и, ѿве́рзи, гдⷭ҇и, ѻ҆́чи твоѝ, при́зри, гдⷭ҇и, и҆ ви́ждь и҆ слы́ши всѧ̑ словеса̀ сеннахирі̑млѧ, ꙗ҆̀же посла̀ ᲂу҆корѧ́ти бг҃а жива́го:

·
18 пои́стиннѣ бо, гдⷭ҇и, пꙋ́стꙋ сотвори́ша ца́рїе а҆ссѷрі́йстїи всю̀ зе́млю и҆ страны̑ и҆́хъ,
18 Truly, Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
·
19 и҆ вверго́ша кꙋмі́ры и҆́хъ во ѻ҆́гнь, не бѣ́ша бо бо́зи, но дѣла̀ рꙋ́къ человѣ́ческихъ, древа̀ и҆ ка́менїе, и҆ погꙋби́ша ѧ҆̀:
19 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
·
20 нн҃ѣ же, гдⷭ҇и бж҃е на́шъ, сп҃си́ ны ѿ рꙋкѝ и҆́хъ, да ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ всѧ̑ ца̑рствїѧ земна̑ѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ є҆сѝ (гдⷭ҇ь) бг҃ъ є҆ди́нъ.
20 Now therefore, Yahweh our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are Yahweh, even you only.”
·
21 И҆ по́сланъ бы́сть и҆са́їа сы́нъ а҆мѡ́совъ ко є҆зекі́и и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ: слы́шахъ, ѡ҆ ни́хже моли́лсѧ є҆сѝ ко мнѣ̀ ѡ҆ сеннахирі́мѣ царѝ а҆ссѷрі́йстѣмъ.
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Yahweh, the God of Israel says, ‘Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
·
22 Сїѐ сло́во, є҆́же гл҃а ѡ҆ не́мъ бг҃ъ: похꙋ́ли тѧ̀ и҆ порꙋга́сѧ тебѣ̀ дѣви́ца дщѝ сїѡ́нѧ, на тѧ̀ главо́ю покива̀ дщѝ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́млѧ:
22 this is the word which Yahweh has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
·
23 кого̀ ᲂу҆кори́лъ и҆ разгнѣ́валъ є҆сѝ; и҆лѝ къ комꙋ̀ возвы́силъ є҆сѝ гла́съ тво́й, и҆ не воздви́глъ є҆сѝ на высотꙋ̀ ѻ҆че́съ твои́хъ; ко ст҃о́мꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ!
23 Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
·
24 ꙗ҆́кѡ посла́ми ᲂу҆кори́лъ є҆сѝ гдⷭ҇а, ты́ бо ре́клъ є҆сѝ: мно́жествомъ колесни́цъ а҆́зъ взыдо́хъ на высотꙋ̀ го́ръ и҆ на послѣ̑днѧѧ лїва́на, и҆ посѣко́хъ высотꙋ̀ ке́дра є҆гѡ̀ и҆ добро́тꙋ кѷпарі́совꙋ, и҆ внидо́хъ въ высотꙋ̀ ча́сти дꙋбра́вныѧ
24 By your servants, you have defied the Lord, and have said, “With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
·
25 и҆ положи́хъ мо́стъ, и҆ ѡ҆пꙋстоши́хъ во́ды и҆ всѐ собра́нїе водно́е:
25 I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
·
26 не слы́шалъ ли є҆сѝ и҆здре́вле си́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же а҆́зъ сотвори́хъ; ѿ дре́внихъ дні́й совѣща́хъ, нн҃ѣ же показа́хъ ѡ҆пꙋстоши́ти ꙗ҆зы́ки въ тверды́нехъ и҆ живꙋ́щыѧ во тве́рдыхъ градѣ́хъ:
26 “‘Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them into ruinous heaps.
·
27 ѡ҆пꙋсти́хъ рꙋ́цѣ, и҆ и҆зсхо́ша и҆ бы́ша а҆́ки сꙋ́хо сѣ́но на кро́вѣхъ и҆ а҆́ки тро́скотъ:
27 Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown.
·
28 нн҃ѣ же поко́й тво́й и҆ и҆схо́дъ тво́й и҆ вхо́дъ тво́й а҆́зъ вѣ́мъ,
28 But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
·
29 ꙗ҆́рость же твоѧ̀, є҆́юже разгнѣ́валсѧ є҆сѝ, и҆ ѡ҆горче́нїе твоѐ взы́де ко мнѣ̀, и҆ вложꙋ̀ броздꙋ̀ въ нѡ́здри твоѧ̑ и҆ ᲂу҆здꙋ̀ во ᲂу҆ста̀ твоѧ̑, и҆ возвращꙋ́ тѧ пꙋте́мъ, и҆́мже є҆сѝ прише́лъ.
29 Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
·
30 Сїе́ же тебѣ̀ зна́менїе: ꙗ҆́ждь сегѡ̀ лѣ́та, є҆́же є҆сѝ всѣ́ѧлъ, а҆ во второ́е лѣ́то, є҆́же ѿ себє̀ расте́тъ: а҆ въ тре́тїе насѣ́ѧвше по́жнете и҆ насадитѐ вїногра́ды и҆ снѣ́сте плоды̀ и҆́хъ:
30 “‘This shall be the sign to you: You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from it; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
·
31 и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ ѡ҆ста́вшїи во і҆ꙋде́и, прорастѧ́тъ коре́нїе до́лꙋ и҆ сотворѧ́тъ въ ве́рхъ пло́дъ,
31 The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
·
32 ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма бꙋ́дꙋтъ ѡ҆ста́вшїисѧ и҆ спа́сшїисѧ ѿ горы̀ сїѡ́ни: ре́вность гдⷭ҇а саваѡ́ѳа сотвори́тъ сїѧ̑.
32 For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.’
·
33 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь на царѧ̀ а҆ссѷрі́йска: не вни́детъ въ се́й гра́дъ, нижѐ пꙋ́ститъ на́нь стрѣлꙋ̀, нижѐ возложи́тъ на́нь щита̀, нижѐ ѡ҆гради́тъ ѡ҆́крестъ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆гражде́нїѧ:
33 “Therefore Yahweh says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
·
34 но пꙋте́мъ, и҆́мже прїи́де, тѣ́мже возврати́тсѧ, и҆ во гра́дъ се́й не вни́детъ. Сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь:
34 He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says Yahweh.
·
35 защищꙋ̀ гра́дъ се́й, є҆́же спⷭ҇тѝ є҆го̀ менє̀ ра́ди и҆ ра́ди даві́да раба̀ моегѡ̀.
35 ‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”
·
36 И҆ и҆зы́де а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень и҆ и҆збѝ ѿ полка̀ а҆ссѷрі́йска сто̀ ѻ҆́смьдесѧтъ пѧ́ть ты́сѧщъ. И҆ воста́вше заꙋ́тра, ѡ҆брѣто́ша всѧ̑ тѣлеса̀ мє́ртва.
36 Then Yahweh’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
·
37 И҆ ѿи́де возвра́щьсѧ сеннахирі́мъ ца́рь а҆ссѷрі́йскїй и҆ всели́сѧ во нїнеѵі́и.
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
·
38 И҆ внегда̀ покланѧ́тисѧ є҆мꙋ̀ въ домꙋ̀ насара́хꙋ ѻ҆течествонача́льникꙋ своемꙋ̀, а҆драмеле́хъ и҆ сараса́ръ сы́нове є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆би́ста є҆го̀ мечьмѝ, са́ми же ᲂу҆бѣжа́ста во а҆рме́нїю. И҆ воцари́сѧ а҆сорда́нъ сы́нъ є҆гѡ̀ вмѣ́стѡ є҆гѡ̀.
38 As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.

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).
"I will defend this city for my servant David's sake." And besides, on account of His favor towards him, He suffered not Solomon to fall from the kingdom, great as the sin was which he had committed.
