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 І҆а́кѡвъ ѻ҆́трокъ мо́й, воспрїимꙋ̀ и҆̀: і҆и҃ль и҆збра́нный мо́й, прїѧ́тъ є҆го̀ дш҃а̀ моѧ̀, да́хъ дх҃ъ мо́й на́нь, сꙋ́дъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ возвѣсти́тъ:
1 “Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.
2 не возопїе́тъ, нижѐ ѡ҆сла́битъ, нижѐ ᲂу҆слы́шитсѧ внѣ̀ гла́съ є҆гѡ̀:
2 He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3 тро́сти сокрꙋше́ны не сотре́тъ и҆ льна̀ кꙋрѧ́щасѧ не ᲂу҆гаси́тъ, но во и҆́стинꙋ и҆знесе́тъ сꙋ́дъ:
3 He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
4 возсїѧ́етъ и҆ не потꙋ́хнетъ, до́ндеже положи́тъ на землѝ сꙋ́дъ, и҆ на и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆зы́цы ᲂу҆пова́ти и҆́мꙋтъ.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice on the earth, and the islands wait for his law.”
5 Та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, сотвори́вый не́бо и҆ водрꙋзи́вый є҆̀, ᲂу҆твержде́й зе́млю и҆ ꙗ҆̀же на не́й, и҆ даѧ́й дыха́нїе лю́демъ, и҆̀же на не́й, и҆ дꙋ́хъ ходѧ́щымъ на не́й:
5 God Yahweh, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:
6 а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ призва́хъ тѧ̀ въ пра́вдѣ, и҆ ᲂу҆держꙋ̀ за рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ и҆ ᲂу҆крѣплю́ тѧ: и҆ да́хъ тѧ̀ въ завѣ́тъ ро́да і҆и҃лева, во свѣ́тъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ,
6 “I, Yahweh, have called you in righteousness. I will hold your hand. I will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations,
7 ѿве́рсти ѻ҆́чи слѣпы́хъ, и҆звестѝ ѿ ᲂу҆́зъ свѧ̑занныѧ и҆ и҆з̾ до́мꙋ темни́цы и҆ сѣдѧ́щыѧ во тьмѣ̀.
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
8 А҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, сїѐ моѐ є҆́сть и҆́мѧ, сла́вы моеѧ̀ и҆но́мꙋ не да́мъ, нижѐ добродѣ́телей мои́хъ и҆стꙋка̑ннымъ.
8 “I am Yahweh. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
9 Ꙗ҆̀же и҆з̾ нача́ла, сѐ, прїидо́ша, и҆ нѡ́ваѧ, ꙗ҆̀же а҆́зъ возвѣщꙋ̀, и҆ пре́жде не́же возвѣсти́ти, ꙗ҆ви́шасѧ ва́мъ.
9 Behold, the former things have happened and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.”
10 Воспо́йте гдⷭ҇еви пѣ́снь но́вꙋ: нача́льство є҆гѡ̀, просла́вите и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ ѿ конє́цъ землѝ, сходѧ́щїи въ мо́ре и҆ пла́вающїи по немꙋ̀, ѻ҆́строви и҆ живꙋ́щїи на ни́хъ.
10 Sing to Yahweh a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands and their inhabitants.
11 Возвесели́сѧ, пꙋсты́не, и҆ вє́си є҆ѧ̀, придвѡ́рїѧ, и҆ живꙋ́щїи въ кида́рѣ: возвеселѧ́тсѧ живꙋ́щїи на ка́мени, ѿ кра́ѧ го́ръ возопїю́тъ,
11 Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains!
12 дадѧ́тъ бг҃ꙋ сла́вꙋ, добродѣ́тєли є҆гѡ̀ во ѻ҆́стровѣхъ возвѣстѧ́тъ.
12 Let them give glory to Yahweh, and declare his praise in the islands.
13 Гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ си́лъ и҆зы́детъ и҆ сокрꙋши́тъ ра́ть, воздви́гнетъ рве́нїе и҆ возопїе́тъ на врагѝ своѧ̑ со крѣ́постїю.
13 Yahweh will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
14 Молча́хъ, є҆да̀ и҆ всегда̀ ᲂу҆молчꙋ̀ и҆ потерплю̀; Терпѣ́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ражда́ющаѧ, и҆стреблю̀ и҆ и҆зсꙋшꙋ̀ вкꙋ́пѣ,
14 “I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
15 ѡ҆пꙋстошꙋ̀ го́ры и҆ хо́лмы, и҆ всѧ́кꙋ травꙋ̀ и҆́хъ и҆зсꙋшꙋ̀, и҆ положꙋ̀ рѣ́ки во ѻ҆́стровы, и҆ лꙋ́ги и҆зсꙋшꙋ̀:
15 I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
16 и҆ наведꙋ̀ слѣпы̑ѧ на пꙋ́ть, є҆гѡ́же не ви́дѣша, и҆ по стезѧ́мъ, и҆́хже не зна́ша, ходи́ти сотворю̀ и҆̀мъ: сотворю̀ и҆̀мъ тьмꙋ̀ во свѣ́тъ и҆ стро́пѡтнаѧ въ пра̑ваѧ: сїѧ̑ гл҃го́лы сотворю̀, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́влю и҆́хъ.
16 I will bring the blind by a way that they don’t know. I will lead them in paths that they don’t know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
17 Ті́и же возврати́шасѧ вспѧ́ть: посрами́тесѧ стыдѣ́нїемъ, ᲂу҆пова́ющїи на и҆зва̑ѧннаѧ, глаго́лющїи слїѧ̑ннымъ: вы̀ є҆стѐ бо́зи на́ши.
17 “Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
18 Глꙋсі́и, ᲂу҆слы́шите, и҆ слѣпі́и, прозри́те ви́дѣти.
18 “Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
19 И҆ кто̀ слѣ́пъ, ра́звѣ рабѝ моѝ; и҆ глꙋ́си, ра́звѣ владѣ́ющїи и҆́ми; и҆ ѡ҆слѣпо́ша рабѝ бж҃їи.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as Yahweh’s servant?
20 Ви́дѣсте мно́гажды, и҆ не сохрани́сте: ѿвє́рсты ᲂу҆́шы (и҆мꙋ́ще), и҆ не слы́шасте.
20 You see many things, but don’t observe. His ears are open, but he doesn’t listen.
21 Гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ восхотѣ̀, да ѡ҆правди́тсѧ и҆ возвели́читъ хвалꙋ̀.
21 It pleased Yahweh, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law and make it honorable.
22 И҆ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ бы́ша лю́дїе расхище́ни и҆ разгра́блени: прꙋгло́ бо въ ло́жахъ вездѣ̀, и҆ въ домѣ́хъ вкꙋ́пѣ, и҆дѣ́же скры́ша ѧ҆̀, бы́ша въ плѣ́нъ: и҆ не бы́сть и҆з̾има́ѧй разграбле́нїѧ и҆ не бѣ̀ глаго́лющагѡ: ѿда́ждь.
22 But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become captives, and no one delivers, and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’
23 Кто̀ въ ва́съ, и҆́же внꙋши́тъ сїѧ̑; и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ во грѧдꙋ̑щаѧ.
23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
24 Кто̀ дадѐ на разграбле́нїе і҆а́кѡва, и҆ і҆и҃лѧ плѣнѧ́ющымъ є҆го̀; не бг҃ъ ли, є҆мꙋ́же согрѣши́ша и҆ не восхотѣ́ша въ пꙋте́хъ є҆гѡ̀ ходи́ти, ни слꙋ́шати зако́на є҆гѡ̀;
24 Who gave Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Didn’t Yahweh, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed his law.
25 И҆ наведѐ на нѧ̀ гнѣ́въ ꙗ҆́рости своеѧ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆крѣпи́сѧ на нѧ̀ ра́ть, и҆ палѧ́щїи и҆̀хъ ѡ҆́крестъ, и҆ не ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣша кі́йждо и҆́хъ, нижѐ положи́ша на ᲂу҆мѣ̀.
25 Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle. It set him on fire all around, but he didn’t know. It burned him, but he didn’t take it to heart.”

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).
… 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."
He shall shine and shall not be broken, until He sets judgment in the earth: and the nations shall hope in His name." The Hebrew has not "Jacob" and "Israel;" but the Septuagint translators, wishing to show the significance of the expression "my servant," and that it refers to the form of a servant in which the Most High humbled …

A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench, till He send forth judgment unto victory. And in His name shall the Gentiles trust." The prophet celebrates His meekness, and His unspeakable power, and opens to the Gentiles "a great door and effectual;" he foretells also the ills that are to overtake the Jews, and …

… it seeth Him not,...but ye know Him; for he dwelleth with you." And so says Isaiah;--"He that spread forth the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and Spirit to them that trample on it"; for they that trample down earthly things and rise above them are borne witness …

… in a more gentle manner; and the Lord's advent as a man was pointed out, that it should be subsequent to that law which was given by Moses, mild and tranquil, in which He would neither break the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax. The mild and peaceful repose of His kingdom was indicated likewise.
