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 И҆ нн҃ѣ си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ сотвори́вый тѧ̀, і҆а́кѡве, и҆ созда́вый тѧ̀, і҆и҃лю: не бо́йсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆зба́вихъ тѧ̀, прозва́хъ тѧ̀ и҆́менемъ твои́мъ: мо́й є҆сѝ ты̀.
1 But now Yahweh who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel, says: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.
2 И҆ а҆́ще прехо́диши сквозѣ̀ во́дꙋ, съ тобо́ю є҆́смь, и҆ рѣ́ки не покры́ютъ тебѐ: и҆ а҆́ще сквозѣ̀ ѻ҆́гнь про́йдеши, не сожже́шисѧ, и҆ пла́мень не ѡ҆пали́тъ тебѐ,
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.
3 ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й, ст҃ы́й і҆и҃левъ, сп҃са́ѧй тѧ̀: сотвори́хъ премѣ́нꙋ твою̀ є҆гѵ́петъ и҆ є҆ѳїо́пїю, и҆ сои́нꙋ за тѧ̀.
3 For I am Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
4 Ѿне́лиже че́стенъ бы́лъ є҆сѝ предо мно́ю, просла́вилсѧ є҆сѝ, и҆ а҆́зъ тѧ̀ возлюби́хъ, и҆ да́мъ человѣ́ки за тебѐ и҆ кнѧ̑зи за главꙋ̀ твою̀.
4 Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you, therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.
5 Не бо́йсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ съ тобо́ю є҆́смь: ѿ востѡ́къ приведꙋ̀ сѣ́мѧ твоѐ и҆ ѿ за̑падъ соберꙋ́ тѧ:
5 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west.
6 рекꙋ̀ сѣ́верꙋ: приведѝ: и҆ лі́вꙋ: не возбранѧ́й, приведѝ сы́ны моѧ̑ ѿ землѝ да́льнїѧ и҆ дщє́ри моѧ̑ ѿ кра́євъ земны́хъ,
6 I will tell the north, ‘Give them up!’ and tell the south, ‘Don’t hold them back! Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
7 всѣ́хъ, є҆ли́цы нарица́ютсѧ и҆́менемъ мои́мъ: во сла́вѣ бо мое́й ᲂу҆стро́ихъ є҆го̀ и҆ созда́хъ є҆го̀ и҆ сотвори́хъ и҆̀.
7 everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.’”
8 И҆ и҆зведо́хъ лю́ди слѣ́пы, и҆ ѻ҆́чи сꙋ́ть та́кожде слѣ́пы, и҆ глꙋ́си ᲂу҆́шы и҆мꙋ́щїи.
8 Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.
9 Всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы собра́шасѧ вкꙋ́пѣ, и҆ соберꙋ́тсѧ кнѧ̑зи ѿ ни́хъ. Кто̀ возвѣсти́тъ сїѧ̑; и҆лѝ ꙗ҆̀же и҆спе́рва кто̀ возвѣсти́тъ ва́мъ; да приведꙋ́тъ свидѣ̑тели своѧ̑ и҆ ѡ҆правдѧ́тсѧ, и҆ да ᲂу҆слы́шатъ и҆ да рекꙋ́тъ и҆́стинꙋ.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”
10 Бꙋ́дите мѝ свидѣ́телїе, и҆ а҆́зъ свидѣ́тель, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, и҆ ѻ҆́трокъ мо́й, є҆го́же и҆збра́хъ, да ᲂу҆вѣ́сте и҆ вѣ́рꙋете мѝ и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ете, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь: пре́жде менє̀ не бы́сть и҆́нъ бг҃ъ, и҆ по мнѣ̀ не бꙋ́детъ.
10 “You are my witnesses,” says Yahweh, “With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me.
11 А҆́зъ бг҃ъ, и҆ нѣ́сть ра́звѣ менє̀ сп҃са́ѧй.
11 I myself am Yahweh. Besides me, there is no savior.
12 А҆́зъ возвѣсти́хъ и҆ сп҃со́хъ, ᲂу҆кори́хъ, и҆ не бѣ̀ въ ва́съ чꙋжді́й: вы̀ мнѣ̀ свидѣ́телїе, и҆ а҆́зъ свидѣ́тель, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ,
12 I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown, and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses”, says Yahweh, “and I am God.
13 є҆щѐ ѿ нача́ла, и҆ нѣ́сть и҆з̾има́ѧй ѿ рꙋкꙋ̀ моє́ю: сотворю̀, и҆ кто̀ ѿврати́тъ є҆̀;
13 Yes, since the day was, I am he. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?”
14 Та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, и҆збавлѧ́ѧй ва́съ, ст҃ы́й і҆и҃левъ: ва́съ ра́ди послю̀ въ вавѷлѡ́нъ и҆ воздви́гнꙋ всѧ̑ бѣжа́щыѧ, и҆ халде́є въ корабле́хъ свѧ́жꙋтсѧ.
14 Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.
15 А҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ст҃ы́й ва́шъ, показа́вый і҆и҃лѧ царѧ̀ ва́шего.
15 I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”
16 Си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь, даѧ́й пꙋ́ть по мо́рю и҆ по водѣ̀ си́льнѣ стезю̀:
16 Yahweh, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,
17 и҆зводѧ́й колєсни́цы и҆ ко́ни и҆ наро́дъ си́ленъ: но ᲂу҆спо́ша и҆ не воста́нꙋтъ, ᲂу҆гасо́ша а҆́ки ле́нъ ᲂу҆гаше́нъ.
17 who brings out the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick) says:
18 Не помина́йте пе́рвыхъ, и҆ ве́тхихъ не помышлѧ́йте,
18 “Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old.
19 сѐ, а҆́зъ творю̀ нѡ́ваѧ, ꙗ҆̀же нн҃ѣ возсїѧ́ютъ, и҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́сте ѧ҆̀: и҆ сотворю̀ въ пꙋсты́ни пꙋ́ть и҆ въ безво́днѣй рѣ́ки.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 Возблагословѧ́тъ мѧ̀ ѕвѣ́рїе се́льнїи, сі́рини и҆ дщє́ри стрꙋ́ѳѡвы: ꙗ҆́кѡ да́хъ въ пꙋсты́ни во́дꙋ и҆ рѣ́ки въ безво́днѣй, напои́ти ро́дъ мо́й и҆збра́нный,
20 The animals of the field, the jackals and the ostriches, shall honor me, because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,
21 лю́ди моѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же снабдѣ́хъ, добродѣ́тєли моѧ̑ повѣ́дати.
21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might declare my praise.
22 Не нн҃ѣ призва́хъ тебѐ, і҆а́кѡве, нижѐ трꙋди́тисѧ сотвори́хъ тѧ̀, і҆и҃лю.
22 Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.
23 Не прине́слъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀ ѻ҆ве́цъ твои́хъ всесожже́нїѧ твоегѡ̀, ни въ же́ртвахъ твои́хъ просла́вилъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ, не порабо́тихъ тѧ̀ въ же́ртвахъ, нижѐ ᲂу҆трꙋжде́на сотвори́хъ тѧ̀ въ лїва́нѣ:
23 You have not brought me any of your sheep for burnt offerings, neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.
24 не кꙋпи́лъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀ на сребро̀ ѳѷмїа́ма, нижѐ тꙋ́ка тре́бъ твои́хъ возжела́хъ, но во грѣсѣ́хъ твои́хъ ста́лъ є҆сѝ предо мно́ю и҆ въ непра́вдахъ твои́хъ.
24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices, but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.
25 А҆́зъ є҆́смь, а҆́зъ є҆́смь заглажда́ѧй беззакѡ́нїѧ твоѧ̑ менє̀ ра́ди и҆ грѣхѝ твоѧ̑, и҆ не помѧнꙋ̀.
25 I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.
26 Ты́ же помѧнѝ, и҆ да сꙋ́димсѧ: глаго́ли ты̀ беззакѡ́нїѧ твоѧ̑ пре́жде, да ѡ҆правди́шисѧ.
26 Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Declare your case, that you may be justified.
27 Ѻ҆тцы̀ ва́ши пе́рвїи согрѣши́ша, и҆ кнѧ̑зи ва́ши беззако́нноваша на мѧ̀.
27 Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.
28 И҆ ѡ҆скверни́ша кнѧ̑зи ст҃а̑ѧ моѧ̑, и҆ да́хъ погꙋби́ти і҆а́кѡва и҆ і҆и҃лѧ во ᲂу҆кори́знꙋ.
28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel an insult.”

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).
… is, the Father bearing witness to the Son, and the Son announcing the Father.--As also Esaias says, "I too am witness," he declares, "saith the Lord God, and the Son whom I have chosen, that ye may know, and believe, and understand that I am."
Therefore doth God appoint righteousness as a reward for such repentance, saying, "Be thou first to tell thy sins, that thou mayest be justified." For it is not, it is not indeed, a small step towards amendment, to lay together all our sins, and to be continually revolving and reckoning them up with their particulars.

… Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring My sons from far, and My daughters from the ends of the earth; all, as many as have been called in My name: for in My glory I have prepared, and formed, and made him." Inasmuch as then, "wheresoever the carcase is, there shall also the eagles be gathered together," …
… Me in sacrifices, nor in [the matter of] frankincense hast thou done anything laboriously; neither hast thou bought for Me incense with money, nor have I desired the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast stood before Me in thy sins and in thine iniquities." He says, therefore, "Upon this man will I look, even upon him that is humble, …
