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 Сни́ди, сѧ́ди на землѝ, дѣ́во, дщѝ вавѷлѡ́нѧ, вни́ди во тьмꙋ̀, дщѝ халде́йска, ꙗ҆́кѡ не приложи́ши ксемꙋ̀ прозыва́тисѧ мѧгка̀ и҆ ю҆́на.
1 “Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you will no longer be called tender and delicate.
2 Возмѝ же́рновы, мелѝ мꙋкꙋ̀, ѿкры́й покрыва́ло твоѐ, ѿкры́й сѣди̑ны, возсꙋчѝ го́лєни, прейдѝ рѣ́ки:
2 Take the millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, lift up your skirt, uncover your legs, and wade through the rivers.
3 ѿкры́етсѧ стꙋ́дъ тво́й, ꙗ҆вѧ́тсѧ ᲂу҆кори̑зны твоѧ̑, пра́ведное ѿ тебє̀ возмꙋ̀, ктомꙋ̀ не преда́мъ человѣ́кѡмъ.
3 Your nakedness will be uncovered. Yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no one.”
4 Речѐ и҆зба́вивый тѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ, и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ ст҃ы́й і҆и҃левъ:
4 Our Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies is his name, is the Holy One of Israel.
5 сѧ́ди ᲂу҆миле́на, вни́ди во тьмꙋ̀, дщѝ халде́йска, ксемꙋ̀ не прозове́шисѧ крѣ́пость ца́рства.
5 “Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer be called the mistress of kingdoms.
6 Разгнѣ́вахсѧ на лю́ди моѧ̑, ѡ҆скверни́ла є҆сѝ наслѣ́дїе моѐ: а҆́зъ вда́хъ ѧ҆̀ въ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀, ты́ же не дала̀ и҆̀мъ ми́лости, ста́рчїй ꙗ҆ре́мъ ѡ҆тѧгчи́ла є҆сѝ ѕѣлѡ̀
6 I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy. You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.
7 и҆ рекла̀ є҆сѝ: въ вѣ́къ бꙋ́дꙋ влады́чица: не помы́слила є҆сѝ си́хъ въ се́рдцы твое́мъ, нижѐ помѧнꙋ́ла є҆сѝ послѣ́днихъ:
7 You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’ so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.
8 нн҃ѣ же слы́ши сїѐ, ю҆́наѧ, сѣдѧ́щаѧ, ᲂу҆пова́ющаѧ, глаго́лющаѧ въ се́рдцы свое́мъ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь, и҆ нѣ́сть и҆ны́ѧ, не сѧ́дꙋ вдово́ю и҆ не позна́ю сиротства̀.
8 “Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I won’t sit as a widow, neither will I know the loss of children.’
9 Нн҃ѣ же прїи́дꙋтъ на тѧ̀ два̀ сїѧ̑ внеза́пꙋ во є҆ди́нъ де́нь, безча́дїе и҆ вдовство̀ внеза́пꙋ прїи́детъ на тѧ̀, въ волше́бствѣ твое́мъ и҆ въ крѣ́пости волхвѡ́въ твои́хъ ѕѣлѡ̀,
9 But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day: the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
10 въ надѣ́ѧнїи ѕло́бы твоеѧ̀: ты́ бо рекла̀ є҆сѝ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь, и҆ нѣ́сть и҆ны́ѧ: ᲂу҆вѣ́ждь, ꙗ҆́кѡ смышле́нїе си́хъ и҆ блꙋже́нїе твоѐ бꙋ́детъ тебѣ̀ сра́мъ: и҆ рекла̀ є҆сѝ се́рдцемъ свои́мъ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь, и҆ нѣ́сть и҆ны́ѧ.
10 For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
11 И҆ прїи́детъ на тѧ̀ па́гꙋба, и҆ не ᲂу҆вѣ́си, про́пасть, и҆ впаде́ши въ ню̀: и҆ прїи́детъ на тѧ̀ печа́ль, и҆ не возмо́жеши чиста̀ бы́ти: и҆ прїи́детъ на тѧ̀ внеза́пꙋ па́гꙋба, и҆ не ᲂу҆вѣ́си.
11 Therefore disaster will come on you. You won’t know when it dawns. Mischief will fall on you. You won’t be able to put it away. Desolation will come on you suddenly, which you don’t understand.
12 Ста́ни нн҃ѣ съ волхвы̑ твои́ми и҆ со мно́гими ча̑ры твои́ми, и҆̀мже наꙋчи́ласѧ є҆сѝ и҆з̾ ю҆́ности твоеѧ̀, а҆́ще возмо́гꙋтъ тѝ помощѝ.
12 “Stand now with your enchantments and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if you might profit, as if you might prevail.
13 Оу҆трꙋди́ласѧ є҆сѝ въ совѣ́тѣхъ твои́хъ: да ста́нꙋтъ нн҃ѣ и҆ спасꙋ́тъ тѧ̀ ѕвѣздоче́тцы небесѐ, смотрѧ́ющїи ѕвѣ́здъ, да возвѣстѧ́тъ тѝ, что̀ и҆́мать на тѧ̀ прїитѝ.
13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you.
14 Сѐ, всѝ ꙗ҆́кѡ хвра́стїе ѻ҆гне́мъ погорѧ́тъ и҆ не и҆з̾и́мꙋтъ дꙋшѝ своеѧ̀ и҆з̾ пла́мене, поне́же и҆́маши ᲂу҆́глїе ѻ҆́гненное, сѧ́ди на ни́хъ.
14 Behold, they are like stubble. The fire will burn them. They won’t deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It won’t be a coal to warm at or a fire to sit by.
15 Сі́и бꙋ́дꙋтъ тебѣ̀ по́мощь: трꙋди́ласѧ є҆сѝ въ преложе́нїи ѿ ю҆́ности, человѣ́къ са́мъ въ себѣ̀ прельсти́сѧ, тебѣ́ же не бꙋ́детъ спасе́нїѧ.
15 The things that you labored in will be like this: those who have trafficked with you from your youth will each wander in his own way. There will be no one to save you.

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).
… heed, pray, to astrologers; for of these the divine Scripture saith, Let the stargazers of the heaven stand up and save thee, and what follows: Behold, they all shall be consumed as stubble on the fire, and shall not deliver their soul from the flame.
