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 Си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ пома́занномꙋ моемꙋ̀ кѵ́рꙋ, є҆го́же ᲂу҆держа́хъ за десни́цꙋ, повинꙋ́ти пред̾ ни́мъ ꙗ҆зы́ки, и҆ крѣ́пость царе́й разрꙋшꙋ̀, ѿве́рзꙋ пред̾ ни́мъ врата̀, и҆ гра́ди не затворѧ́тсѧ:

1 Yahweh says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:

2 а҆́зъ пред̾ тобо́ю пойдꙋ̀ и҆ го́ры ᲂу҆равню̀, врата̀ мѣ̑дѧнаѧ сокрꙋшꙋ̀ и҆ верєѝ желѣ̑зныѧ сломлю̀,

2 “I will go before you and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of bronze in pieces and cut apart the bars of iron.

3 и҆ да́мъ тѝ сокрѡ́вища тє́мнаѧ сокровє́ннаѧ: неви̑димаѧ ѿве́рзꙋ тебѣ̀, да ᲂу҆вѣ́си, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й прозыва́ѧ и҆́мѧ твоѐ, бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ.

3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who calls you by your name, even the God of Israel.

4 Ра́ди раба̀ моегѡ̀ і҆а́кѡва и҆ і҆и҃лѧ и҆збра́ннагѡ моегѡ̀, а҆́зъ прозовꙋ̀ тѧ̀ и҆́менемъ твои́мъ и҆ прїимꙋ́ тѧ:

4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have given you a title, though you have not known me.

5 ты́ же не позна́лъ є҆сѝ менѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, и҆ нѣ́сть ра́звѣ менє̀ є҆щѐ бг҃а: ᲂу҆крѣпи́хъ тѧ̀, и҆ не позна́лъ є҆сѝ менѐ,

5 I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me,

6 да бы́ша ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣли, и҆̀же ѿ востѡ́къ со́лнечныхъ и҆ и҆̀же ѿ за̑падъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть бг҃ъ ра́звѣ менє̀: а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, и҆ нѣ́сть є҆щѐ.

6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.

7 А҆́зъ ᲂу҆стро́ивый свѣ́тъ и҆ сотвори́вый тьмꙋ̀, творѧ́й ми́ръ и҆ зи́ждѧй ѕла̑ѧ, а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, творѧ́й сїѧ̑ всѧ̑.

7 I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

8 Да возра́дꙋетсѧ не́бо свы́ше, и҆ ѡ҆́блацы да кропѧ́тъ пра́вдꙋ: да прозѧ́бнетъ землѧ̀, и҆ да прорасти́тъ ми́лость, и҆ пра́вдꙋ да прозѧ́бнетъ вкꙋ́пѣ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь гдⷭ҇ь созда́вый тѧ̀.

8 Rain, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, Yahweh, have created it.

9 Что̀ лꙋ́чшее ᲂу҆стро́ихъ ꙗ҆́кѡ гли́нꙋ скꙋде́льничꙋ; є҆да̀ ѡ҆рѧ́й ѡ҆ра́ти бꙋ́детъ зе́млю ве́сь де́нь; є҆да̀ рече́тъ бре́нїе скꙋде́льникꙋ: что̀ твори́ши, ꙗ҆́кѡ не дѣ́лаеши, нижѐ и҆́маши рꙋ́къ; є҆да̀ ѿвѣща́етъ зда́нїе созда́вшемꙋ є҆̀;

9 Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands’?

10 є҆да̀ глаго́летъ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀: что̀ роди́ши; и҆ ма́тери: что̀ чревоболи́ши;

10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’”

11 Ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, ст҃ы́й і҆и҃левъ, сотвори́вый грѧдꙋ̑щаѧ: вопроси́те менѐ ѡ҆ сынѣ́хъ мои́хъ и҆ ѡ҆ дще́рехъ мои́хъ, и҆ ѡ҆ дѣ́лѣхъ рꙋкꙋ̀ моє́ю заповѣ́дите мнѣ̀.

11 Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker says: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!

12 А҆́зъ сотвори́хъ зе́млю и҆ человѣ́ка на не́й, а҆́зъ рꙋко́ю мое́ю ᲂу҆тверди́хъ не́бо, а҆́зъ всѣ̑мъ ѕвѣзда́мъ заповѣ́дахъ.

12 I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens. I have commanded all their army.

13 А҆́зъ возста́вихъ є҆го̀ со пра́вдою царѧ̀, и҆ всѝ пꙋтїѐ є҆гѡ̀ пра̑вы: се́й сози́ждетъ гра́дъ мо́й и҆ плѣне́нїе люді́й мои́хъ возврати́тъ, не по мздѣ̀, ни по дарѡ́мъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ.

13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says Yahweh of Armies.

14 Та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ: ᲂу҆трꙋди́сѧ є҆гѵ́петъ и҆ кꙋ̑пли є҆ѳїѡ́пскїѧ, и҆ саваі́мстїи мꙋ́жїе высо́цыи къ тебѣ̀ пре́йдꙋтъ и҆ тебѣ̀ бꙋ́дꙋтъ рабѝ, и҆ в̾слѣ́дъ тебє̀ по́йдꙋтъ свѧ́зани ᲂу҆́зами рꙋчны́ми, и҆ пре́йдꙋтъ къ тебѣ̀ и҆ покло́нѧтсѧ тебѣ̀, и҆ въ тебѣ̀ помо́лѧтсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ тебѣ̀ бг҃ъ є҆́сть, и҆ рекꙋ́тъ: нѣ́сть бг҃а ра́звѣ тебє̀:

14 Yahweh says: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you, and they will be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains. They will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other god.

15 ты́ бо є҆сѝ бг҃ъ, и҆ не вѣ́дѣхомъ, бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ сп҃съ.

15 Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”

16 Постыдѧ́тсѧ и҆ посра́мѧтсѧ всѝ проти́вѧщїисѧ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ по́йдꙋтъ въ стꙋдѣ̀: ѡ҆бновлѧ́йтесѧ ко мнѣ̀, ѻ҆́строви.

16 They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.

17 І҆и҃ль спаса́етсѧ ѿ гдⷭ҇а спⷭ҇нїемъ вѣ́чнымъ: не постыдѧ́тсѧ, ни посра́мѧтсѧ да́же до вѣ́ка ктомꙋ̀.

17 Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.

18 Занѐ та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь сотвори́вый не́бо, се́й бг҃ъ показа́вый зе́млю и҆ сотвори́вый ю҆̀, то́й раздѣлѝ ю҆̀, не вотщѐ сотворѝ ю҆̀, но на вселе́нїе созда̀ ю҆̀: а҆́зъ є҆́смь гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ нѣ́сть ктомꙋ̀.

18 For Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am Yahweh. There is no other.

19 Не ѡ҆́тай гл҃ахъ, ни въ те́мнѣ мѣ́стѣ землѝ: не реко́хъ пле́мени і҆а́кѡвлю: сꙋ́етнагѡ взыщи́те. А҆́зъ є҆́смь, а҆́зъ є҆́смь гдⷭ҇ь гл҃ѧй пра́вдꙋ и҆ возвѣща́ѧй и҆́стинꙋ.

19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.

20 Собери́тесѧ и҆ прїиди́те, совѣща́йтесѧ вкꙋ́пѣ, спаса́емїи ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ. Не разꙋмѣ́ша воздви́жꙋщїи дре́во и҆зваѧ́нїе своѐ и҆ молѧ́щесѧ богѡ́мъ, и҆̀же не спаса́ютъ.

20 “Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can’t save.

21 А҆́ще возвѣстѧ́тъ, да прибли́жатсѧ, да ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ вкꙋ́пѣ, кто̀ слы̑шана сотворѝ сїѧ̑ и҆спе́рва; Тогда̀ возвѣсти́сѧ ва́мъ: а҆́зъ бг҃ъ, и҆ нѣ́сть и҆но́гѡ ра́звѣ менє̀, првⷣнъ и҆ сп҃си́тель, нѣ́сть кромѣ̀ менє̀.

21 Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, Yahweh? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is no one besides me.

22 Ѡ҆брати́тесѧ ко мнѣ̀ и҆ спасе́тесѧ, и҆̀же ѿ кра́ѧ земна́гѡ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь бг҃ъ, и҆ нѣ́сть и҆но́гѡ.

22 “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

23 Кленꙋ́сѧ мно́ю сами́мъ, а҆́ще не и҆зы́детъ и҆зо ᲂу҆́стъ мои́хъ пра́вда, словеса̀ моѧ̑ не возвратѧ́тсѧ: ꙗ҆́кѡ мнѣ̀ покло́нитсѧ всѧ́ко колѣ́но, и҆ и҆сповѣ́стсѧ всѧ́къ ѧ҆зы́къ бг҃ови, глаго́лѧ:

23 I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.

24 пра́вда и҆ сла́ва къ немꙋ̀ прїи́детъ: и҆ посра́мѧтсѧ всѝ ѿлꙋча́ющїисѧ.

24 They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’” Even to him will men come. All those who raged against him will be disappointed.

25 Ѿ гдⷭ҇а ѡ҆правдѧ́тсѧ, и҆ ѡ҆ бз҃ѣ просла́витсѧ всѐ сѣ́мѧ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ.

25 All the offspring of Israel will be justified in Yahweh, and will rejoice!

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).

Quotes verse 45:7 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter XL)
And this is what has been spoken by the prophet, "I am a jealous God, making peace, and creating evil things;" thus making peace and friendship with those who repent and turn to Him, and bringing [them to] unity, but preparing for the impenitent, those who shun the light, eternal fire and outer darkness, which are evils indeed to those …

Quotes verse 45:8 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XX, Chapters 16–18)
Wherefore He says to it by Isaiah, "I am the Lord that formed thee." It is indeed descended from heaven from its commencement, since its citizens during the course of this world grow by the grace of God, which cometh down from above through the laver of regeneration in the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven.

And again, "I," saith He, "make peace, and create evils:" For neither in this place doth He speak of wickedness, but of famines, and pestilences, things accounted evil by most men: the generality being wont to call these things evil.
