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 бы́сть во дни̑ а҆ха́за сы́на і҆ѡаѳа́млѧ, сы́на ѻ҆зі́и, царѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́дина, взы́де расі́нъ ца́рь а҆ра́мль, и҆ факе́й сы́нъ ромелі́евъ, ца́рь і҆и҃левъ, на і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, воева́ти на него̀, и҆ не возмого́ша разори́ти є҆го̀.
1 ACONTECIÓ en los días de Achâz hijo de Jotham, hijo de Uzzías, rey de Judá, que Rezín rey de Siria, y Peca hijo de Remalías, rey de Israel, subieron á Jerusalem para combatirla; mas no la pudieron tomar.
1 In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2 И҆ возвѣсти́сѧ въ домꙋ̀ даві́довѣ, глаго́лѧ: совѣща́сѧ а҆ра́мъ со є҆фре́момъ, и҆ ᲂу҆жасе́сѧ дꙋша̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ дꙋша̀ люді́й є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́коже въ дꙋбра́вѣ дре́во вѣ́тромъ восколе́блетсѧ.
2 Y vino la nueva á la casa de David, diciendo: Siria se ha confederado con Ephraim. Y estremeciósele el corazón, y el corazón de su pueblo, como se estremecen los árboles del monte á causa del viento.
2 David’s house was told, “Syria is allied with Ephraim.” His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.
3 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко и҆са́їи: и҆зы́ди во срѣ́тенїе а҆ха́зꙋ ты̀ и҆ ѡ҆ста́выйсѧ і҆асꙋ́въ сы́нъ тво́й, къ кꙋпѣ́ли го́рнѧгѡ пꙋтѝ села̀ бѣли́льнича,
3 Entonces dijo Jehová á Isaías: Sal ahora al encuentro de Achâz, tú, y Sear-jasub tu hijo, al cabo del conducto de la Pesquera de arriba, en el camino de la heredad del Lavador,
3 Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field.
4 и҆ рече́ши є҆мꙋ̀: блюдѝ, є҆́же молча́ти, и҆ не бо́йсѧ, нижѐ дꙋша̀ твоѧ̀ да и҆знемо́жетъ ѿ двою̀ дрє́вꙋ главе́нь дымѧ́щихсѧ си́хъ: є҆гда́ бо гнѣ́въ ꙗ҆́рости моеѧ̀ бꙋ́детъ, па́ки и҆сцѣлю̀.
4 Y dile: Guarda, y repósate; no temas, ni se enternezca tu corazón á causa de estos dos cabos de tizón que humean, por el furor de la ira de Rezín y del Siro, y del hijo de Remalías.
4 Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 Сы́нъ же а҆ра́мль и҆ сы́нъ ромелі́евъ ꙗ҆́кѡ совѣща́ста совѣ́тъ лꙋка́вый на тѧ̀, глаго́люще:
5 Por haber acordado maligno consejo contra ti el Siro, con Ephraim y con el hijo de Remalías, diciendo:
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,
6 взы́демъ во і҆ꙋде́ю, и҆ собесѣ́довавше съ ни́ми ѿврати́мъ ѧ҆̀ къ на́мъ и҆ воцари́мъ въ не́й сы́на тавеи́лева:
6 Vamos contra Judá, y la despertaremos, y la partiremos entre nosotros, y pondremos en medio de ella por rey al hijo de Tabeel:
6 “Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.”
7 сїѧ̑ же гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ: не пребꙋ́детъ совѣ́тъ се́й, нижѐ сбꙋ́детсѧ,
7 El Señor Jehová dice así: No subsistirá, ni será.
7 This is what the Lord Yahweh says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”
8 но глава̀ а҆ра́мꙋ дама́скъ, и҆ глава̀ дама́скꙋ расі́нъ: но є҆щѐ шестьдесѧ́тъ и҆ пѧ́ть лѣ́тъ, ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́етъ ца́рство є҆фре́мово ѿ люді́й,
8 Porque la cabeza de Siria es Damasco, y la cabeza de Damasco, Rezín: y dentro de sesenta y cinco años Ephraim será quebrantado hasta dejar de ser pueblo.
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people.
9 глава́ же є҆фре́мови соморѡ́нъ, и҆ глава̀ соморѡ́нꙋ сы́нъ ромелі́евъ: и҆ а҆́ще не ᲂу҆вѣ́рите, нижѐ и҆́мате разꙋмѣ́ти.
9 Entretanto la cabeza de Ephraim es Samaria, y la cabeza de Samaria el hijo de Remalías. Si vosotros no creyereis, de cierto no permaneceréis.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”
10 И҆ приложѝ гдⷭ҇ь гл҃ати ко а҆ха́зꙋ, рекі́й:
10 Y habló más Jehová á Achâz, diciendo:
10 Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
11 просѝ себѣ̀ зна́менїѧ ѿ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а твоегѡ̀ во глꙋбинꙋ̀, и҆лѝ въ высотꙋ̀.
11 Pide para ti señal de Jehová tu Dios, demandándola en lo profundo, ó arriba en lo alto.
11 “Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.”
12 И҆ речѐ а҆ха́зъ: не и҆́мамъ проси́ти, нижѐ и҆скꙋшꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇а.
12 Y respondió Achâz: No pediré, y no tentaré á Jehová.
12 But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t tempt Yahweh.”
13 И҆ речѐ (и҆са́їа): слы́шите ᲂу҆̀бо, до́ме даві́довъ: є҆да̀ ма́ло ва́мъ є҆́сть трꙋ́дъ даѧ́ти человѣ́кѡмъ, и҆ ка́кѡ даетѐ гдⷭ҇еви трꙋ́дъ;
13 Dijo entonces [Isaías]: Oid ahora, casa de David. ¿Os es poco el ser molestos á los hombres, sino que también lo seáis á mi Dios?
13 He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?
14◆ Сегѡ̀ ра́ди да́стъ гдⷭ҇ь са́мъ ва́мъ зна́менїе: сѐ, дв҃а во чре́вѣ зачне́тъ и҆ роди́тъ сн҃а, и҆ нарече́ши и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆мманꙋ́илъ:
14 Por tanto el mismo Señor os dará señal: He aquí que la virgen concebirá, y parirá hijo, y llamará su nombre Emmanuel.
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15 ма́сло и҆ ме́дъ снѣ́сть, пре́жде не́же разꙋмѣ́ти є҆мꙋ̀ и҆зво́лити ѕла̑ѧ, и҆лѝ и҆збра́ти благо́е:
15 Comerá manteca y miel, para que sepa desechar lo malo y escoger lo bueno.
15 He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
16 занѐ пре́жде не́же разꙋмѣ́ти ѻ҆троча́ти благо́е и҆лѝ ѕло́е, ѿри́нетъ лꙋка́вое, є҆́же и҆збра́ти благо́е, и҆ ѡ҆ста́витсѧ землѧ̀, є҆ѧ́же ты̀ бои́шисѧ, ѿ лица̀ двꙋ́хъ царе́й.
16 Porque antes que el niño sepa desechar lo malo y escoger lo bueno, la tierra que tú aborreces será dejada de sus dos reyes.
16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
17 Но наведе́тъ гдⷭ҇ь на тѧ̀ и҆ на лю́ди твоѧ̑ и҆ на до́мъ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ дни̑, и҆̀же є҆щѐ не пришлѝ, ѿ днѐ во́ньже ѿѧ̀ є҆фре́ма ѿ і҆ꙋ́ды, царѧ̀ а҆ссѷрі́йска.
17 Jehová hará venir sobre ti, y sobre tu pueblo, y sobre la casa de tu padre, días cuales nunca vinieron desde el día que Ephraim se apartó de Judá, [es á saber], al rey de Asiria.
17 Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, even the king of Assyria.
18 И҆ бꙋ́детъ въ то́й де́нь, позви́ждетъ гдⷭ҇ь мꙋ́хамъ, ꙗ҆̀же владѣ́ютъ ча́стїю рѣкѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ, и҆ пчелѣ̀, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть во странѣ̀ а҆ссѷрі́йстѣй:
18 Y acontecerá que aquel día silbará Jehová á la mosca que está en el fin de los ríos de Egipto, y á la abeja que está en la tierra de Asiria.
18 It will happen in that day that Yahweh will whistle for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 и҆ прїи́дꙋтъ всѝ и҆ почі́ютъ въ де́брехъ страны̀ и҆ въ пеще́рахъ ка́менныхъ, и҆ во верте́пѣхъ и҆ во всѧ́цѣй разсѣ́линѣ и҆ во всѧ́цѣмъ дре́вѣ.
19 Y vendrán, y se asentarán todos en los valles desiertos, y en las cavernas de las piedras, y en todos los zarzales, y en todas las matas.
19 They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.
20 Въ де́нь ѻ҆́ный ѡ҆брі́етъ гдⷭ҇ь бри́твою наѧ́тою ѡ҆б̾ ѻ҆нꙋ̀ странꙋ̀ рѣкѝ царѧ̀ а҆ссѷрі́йска, главꙋ̀ и҆ власы̀ но́гъ, и҆ брадꙋ̀ ѿи́метъ.
20 En aquel día raerá el Señor con navaja alquilada, con los [que habitan] de la otra parte del río, [á saber], con el rey de Asiria, cabeza y pelos de los pies; y aun la barba también quitará.
20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.
21 И҆ бꙋ́детъ въ то́й де́нь, корми́ти бꙋ́детъ человѣ́къ ю҆́ницꙋ ѿ волѡ́въ и҆ двѣ̀ ѻ҆́вцѣ:
21 Y acontecerá en aquel tiempo, que críe un hombre una vaca y dos ovejas;
21 It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep.
22 и҆ бꙋ́детъ ѿ мно́жества творе́нїѧ мле́чнагѡ, ма́сло и҆ ме́дъ снѣ́сть всѧ́къ ѡ҆ста́выйсѧ на землѝ.
22 Y será que á causa de la abundancia de leche que darán, comerá manteca: cierto manteca y miel comerá el que quedare en medio de la tierra.
22 It shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter, for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left within the land.
23 И҆ бꙋ́детъ въ то́й де́нь, всѧ́ко мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ ты́сѧща ло́зъ вїногра́да, по ты́сѧщи сі̑кль, въ лѧди́нꙋ бꙋ́детъ и҆ въ те́рнїе:
23 Acontecerá también en aquel tiempo, que el lugar donde había mil vides que valían mil [siclos] de plata, será para los espinos y cardos.
23 It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, will be for briers and thorns.
24 со стрѣло́ю и҆ лꙋ́комъ вни́дꙋтъ та́мѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ лѧди́ною и҆ те́рнїемъ бꙋ́детъ всѧ̀ землѧ̀:
24 Con saetas y arco irán allá; porque toda la tierra será espinos y cardos.
24 People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
25 и҆ всѧ́ка гора̀ ѡ҆ре́маѧ воз̾ѡре́тсѧ, не на́йдетъ та́мѡ стра́хъ: бꙋ́детъ ѿ лѧди́ны и҆ ѿ те́рнїѧ въ па́ствꙋ ѻ҆вца́мъ и҆ въ попра́нїе волꙋ̀.
25 Y á todos los montes que se cavaban con azada, no llegará allá el temor de los espinos y de los cardos: mas serán para pasto de bueyes, y para ser hollados de los ganados.
25 All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending out of oxen, and for sheep to tread on.”

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Isaiah 7:14: “a virgin” or “the young woman”?
The Hebrew text of Isaiah 7:14 says ha-almah, “the young woman.” The Greek Septuagint, translated by Jews before the time of Christ, says hē parthenos, “the virgin,” and St Matthew quotes that Greek wording (Matthew 1:23). The Orthodox Church reads the Septuagint here, as the Apostles did. The faith in the virgin birth does not rest on one Hebrew word, but the word still deserves an honest look.
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).
And hear again how Isaiah in express words foretold that He should be born of a virgin; for he spoke thus: "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bring forth a son, and they shall say for His name, God with us.' " For things which were incredible and seemed impossible with men, these God predicted by the Spirit of prophecy …
5. And when He says, "Hear, O house of David," He performed the part of one indicating that He whom God promised David that He would raise up from the fruit of his belly (ventris) an eternal King, is the same who was born of the Virgin, herself of the lineage of David.
For so had the prophet foretold: "Behold, a virgin shall conceive in the womb, and bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which, being interpreted, is, God with us." He did many miracles that He might commend God in Himself, some of which, even as many as seemed sufficient to proclaim Him, are contained in the …

For he doth not merely say, "Behold, the Virgin shall be with child," but having first said, "Behold, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign," then he subjoins, "Behold, the Virgin shall be with child." Whereas, if she that was to give birth was not a virgin, but this happened in the way of marriage, what sort of sign …
