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 Ѡ҆бновлѧ́йтесѧ ко мнѣ̀, ѻ҆́строви, кнѧ̑зи бо и҆змѣнѧ́тъ крѣ́пость: да прибли́жатсѧ и҆ да глаго́лютъ вкꙋ́пѣ, тогда̀ сꙋ́дъ да возвѣща́ютъ.

1 “Keep silent before me, islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come near, then let them speak. Let’s meet together for judgment.

2 Кто̀ возста́ви ѿ востѡ́къ пра́вдꙋ, призва̀ ю҆̀ къ нога́мъ свои̑мъ, и҆ по́йдетъ; да́стъ пред̾ ꙗ҆зы́ки, и҆ цари̑ ᲂу҆жаси́тъ: и҆ пове́ржетъ на зе́млю мечы̀ и҆́хъ, и҆ а҆́ки сте́блїе ѿве́ржени лꙋ́цы и҆́хъ,

2 Who has raised up one from the east? Who called him to his feet in righteousness? He hands over nations to him and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow.

3 и҆ прожене́тъ ѧ҆̀, и҆ про́йдетъ съ ми́ромъ пꙋ́ть но́гъ є҆гѡ̀.

3 He pursues them and passes by safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.

4 Кто̀ содѣ́ла и҆ сотворѝ сїѧ̑; призва̀ ю҆̀ призыва́ѧй ю҆̀ ѿ нача́ла родѡ́въ. А҆́зъ бг҃ъ пе́рвый, и҆ въ грѧдꙋ̑щаѧ а҆́зъ є҆́смь.

4 Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last, I am he.”

5 Ви́дѣша ꙗ҆зы́цы и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ, концы̑ земні́и прибли́жишасѧ и҆ прїидо́ша вкꙋ́пѣ.

5 The islands have seen, and fear. The ends of the earth tremble. They approach, and come.

6 Сꙋдѧ́й кі́йждо бли́жнемꙋ, и҆ бра́тꙋ помощѝ, и҆ рече́тъ:

6 Everyone helps his neighbor. They say to their brothers, “Be strong!”

7 превозмо́же мꙋ́жъ древодѣ́латель, и҆ кова́чь бїѧ́й мла́томъ, вкꙋ́пѣ прокова́ѧй: ѻ҆вогда̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ рече́тъ: спаѧ́нїе добро̀ є҆́сть, ᲂу҆тверди́ша ѧ҆̀ гвоздьмѝ, положа́тъ ѧ҆̀, и҆ не подви́гнꙋтсѧ.

7 So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith. He who smooths with the hammer encourages him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, “It is good;” and he fastens it with nails, that it might not totter.

8 Ты́ же, і҆и҃лю, ра́бе мо́й, і҆а́кѡве, є҆го́же и҆збра́хъ, сѣ́мѧ а҆враа́мле, є҆го́же возлюби́хъ,

8 “But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham my friend,

9 є҆го́же поѧ́хъ ѿ конє́цъ землѝ, и҆ ѿ стра́жбъ є҆ѧ̀ призва́хъ тѧ̀, и҆ реко́хъ тѝ: ра́бъ мо́й є҆сѝ, и҆збра́хъ тѧ̀, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́вихъ тебѐ:

9 you whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from its corners, and said to you, ‘You are my servant. I have chosen you and have not cast you away.’

10 не бо́йсѧ, съ тобо́ю бо є҆́смь, не прельща́ю: а҆́зъ бо є҆́смь бг҃ъ тво́й, ᲂу҆крѣпи́вый тѧ̀, и҆ помого́хъ тѝ, и҆ ᲂу҆тверди́хъ тѧ̀ десни́цею мое́ю првⷣною:

10 Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

11 сѐ, постыдѧ́тсѧ и҆ посра́мѧтсѧ всѝ сопротивлѧ́ющїисѧ тебѣ̀, бꙋ́дꙋтъ бо ꙗ҆́кѡ не сꙋ́щїи, и҆ поги́бнꙋтъ всѝ сопє́рницы твоѝ:

11 Behold, all those who are incensed against you will be disappointed and confounded. Those who strive with you will be like nothing, and shall perish.

12 взы́щеши и҆̀хъ, и҆ не ѡ҆брѧ́щеши человѣ́кѡвъ, и҆̀же порꙋга́ютсѧ тебѣ̀: бꙋ́дꙋтъ бо а҆́ки не бы́вшїи и҆ не бꙋ́дꙋтъ ра́тꙋющїи тебѐ.

12 You will seek them, and won’t find them, even those who contend with you. Those who war against you will be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing.

13 Ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ бг҃ъ тво́й держа́й десни́цꙋ твою̀, гл҃ѧй тебѣ̀:

13 For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I will help you.’

14 не бо́йсѧ, і҆а́кѡве, ма́лый і҆и҃лю, а҆́зъ помого́хъ тѝ, гл҃етъ бг҃ъ тво́й, и҆збавлѧ́ѧй тѧ̀ ст҃ы́й і҆и҃левъ:

14 Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel. I will help you,” says Yahweh. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

15 сѐ, сотвори́хъ тѧ̀ а҆́ки коле́са колєсни́чнаѧ нѡ́ваѧ, стира̑ющаѧ а҆́ки пила̀, и҆ сотре́ши го́ры, и҆ и҆стончи́ши хо́лмы, и҆ а҆́ки пра́хъ положи́ши,

15 Behold, I have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument with teeth. You will thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and will make the hills like chaff.

16 и҆ и҆звѣ́еши, и҆ вѣ́тръ во́зметъ ѧ҆̀, и҆ бꙋ́рѧ развѣ́етъ ѧ҆̀: ты́ же возвесели́шисѧ во ст҃ы́хъ і҆и҃левыхъ.

16 You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the whirlwind will scatter them. You will rejoice in Yahweh. You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.

17 И҆ возра́дꙋютсѧ ᲂу҆бо́зїи и҆ неимꙋ́щїи: пои́щꙋтъ бо воды̀, и҆ не бꙋ́детъ, ѧ҆зы́къ и҆́хъ ѿ жа́жди и҆́зсше. А҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, а҆́зъ ᲂу҆слы́шꙋ и҆̀хъ, бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́влю и҆́хъ,

17 The poor and needy seek water, and there is none. Their tongue fails for thirst. I, Yahweh, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

18 но ѿве́рзꙋ на гора́хъ рѣ́ки и҆ средѝ по́лѧ и҆сто́чники, сотворю̀ пꙋсты́ню въ лꙋ́ги водны̑ѧ и҆ жа́ждꙋщꙋю зе́млю въ водоте́чы,

18 I will open rivers on the bare heights, and springs in the middle of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

19 положꙋ̀ въ безво́днꙋю зе́млю ке́дръ и҆ сме́рчїе, и҆ мѷрсі́нꙋ и҆ кѷпарі́съ и҆ топо́лю:

19 I will put cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oil trees in the wilderness. I will set cypress trees, pine, and box trees together in the desert;

20 да ᲂу҆́зрѧтъ и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ютъ, и҆ помы́слѧтъ и҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ вкꙋ́пѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ рꙋка̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ сотворѝ сїѧ̑ всѧ̑, и҆ ст҃ы́й і҆и҃левъ показа̀.

20 that they may see, know, consider, and understand together, that Yahweh’s hand has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

21 Приближа́етсѧ сꙋ́дъ ва́шъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ: прибли́жишасѧ совѣ́ти ва́ши, гл҃етъ цр҃ь і҆а́кѡвль.

21 Produce your cause,” says Yahweh. “Bring out your strong reasons!” says the King of Jacob.

22 Да прибли́жатсѧ и҆ возвѣстѧ́тъ ва́мъ, ꙗ҆̀же сбꙋ́дꙋтсѧ, и҆лѝ ꙗ҆̀же пре́жде бы́ша, рцы́те: и҆ приста́вимъ ᲂу҆́мъ и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́емъ, что̀ послѣ̑днѧѧ и҆ бꙋ̑дꙋщаѧ: рцы́те на́мъ,

22 “Let them announce and declare to us what will happen! Declare the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come.

23 возвѣсти́те на́мъ грѧдꙋ̑щаѧ на послѣ́докъ, и҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́мы, ꙗ҆́кѡ бо́зи є҆стѐ: бла́го сотвори́те и҆ ѕло̀ сотвори́те, и҆ почꙋди́мсѧ и҆ ᲂу҆́зримъ вкꙋ́пѣ.

23 Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and see it together.

24 Ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿкꙋ́дꙋ є҆стѐ вы̀, и҆ ѿкꙋ́дꙋ дѣ́ло ва́ше; ѿ землѝ ме́рзость и҆збра́ша ва́съ.

24 Behold, you are nothing, and your work is nothing. He who chooses you is an abomination.

25 А҆́зъ же возста́вихъ, и҆̀же ѿ сѣ́вера и҆ и҆̀же ѿ востѡ́къ со́лнечныхъ, прозовꙋ́тсѧ и҆́менемъ мои́мъ: да прїи́дꙋтъ кнѧ̑зи, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ бре́нїе скꙋде́льника и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ скꙋде́льникъ то́пчꙋщь бре́нїе, та́кѡ попра́ни бꙋ́дете.

25 “I have raised up one from the north, and he has come, from the rising of the sun, one who calls on my name, and he shall come on rulers as on mortar, and as the potter treads clay.

26 Кто́ бо возвѣсти́тъ, ꙗ҆̀же и҆спе́рва, да ᲂу҆вѣ́мы, ꙗ҆̀же напредѝ, и҆ рече́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́стинна сꙋ́ть; нѣ́сть предглаго́лющагѡ, ни слы́шащагѡ слове́съ ва́шихъ.

26 Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? and before, that we may say, ‘He is right’? Surely, there is no one who declares. Surely, there is no one who shows. Surely, there is no one who hears your words.

27 Нача́ло сїѡ́нꙋ да́мъ и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма ᲂу҆тѣ́шꙋ на пꙋтѝ.

27 I am the first to say to Zion, ‘Behold, look at them;’ and I will give one who brings good news to Jerusalem.

28 Ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ бо, сѐ, ни є҆ди́нъ: и҆ ѿ кꙋмі̑ръ и҆́хъ нѣ́сть возвѣща́ѧй. И҆ а҆́ще вопрошꙋ̀ и҆̀хъ, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ є҆стѐ; не ѿвѣща́ютъ мѝ.

28 When I look, there is no man, even among them there is no counselor who, when I ask, can answer a word.

29 Сꙋ́ть бо творѧ́щїи ва́съ и҆ всꙋ́е прельща́ющїи ва́съ.

29 Behold, all of their deeds are vanity and nothing. Their molten images are wind and confusion.

What the Fathers said

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).
