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 речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко мнѣ̀: прїимѝ себѣ̀ сви́токъ но́въ вели́къ и҆ напишѝ въ не́мъ писа́ломъ человѣ́чимъ, є҆́же ско́рѡ плѣне́нїе сотвори́ти коры́стей, приспѣ́ бо:
1 Yahweh said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man’s pen, ‘For Maher Shalal Hash Baz’;
2 и҆ свидѣ̑тели мнѣ̀ сотворѝ вѣ̑рны человѣ́ки, ᲂу҆рі́ю і҆ере́а и҆ заха́рїю сы́на варахі́ина.
2 and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.”
3 И҆ пристꙋпи́хъ ко прⷪ҇ро́чицѣ, и҆ во чре́вѣ зача́тъ и҆ родѝ сы́на. И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь мнѣ̀: нарцы̀ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀: ско́рѡ плѣнѝ, на́глѡ расхи́ти,
3 I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Call his name ‘Maher Shalal Hash Baz.’
4 занѐ пре́жде не́же разꙋмѣ́ти ѻ҆троча́ти назва́ти ѻ҆тца̀ и҆лѝ ма́терь, прїи́метъ си́лꙋ дама́сковꙋ, и҆ кѡры́сти самарі̑йскїѧ пред̾ царе́мъ а҆ссѷрі́йскимъ.
4 For before the child knows how to say, ‘My father’ and ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
5 И҆ приложѝ гдⷭ҇ь гл҃ати ко мнѣ̀ є҆щѐ, гл҃ѧ:
5 Yahweh spoke to me yet again, saying,
6 поне́же не восхотѣ́ша лю́дїе сі́и воды̀ сїлѡа́мли текꙋ́щїѧ ти́сѣ, но восхотѣ́ша и҆мѣ́ти рассѡ́на и҆ сы́на ромелі́ева царѧ̀ над̾ ва́ми,
6 “Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
7 сегѡ̀ ра́ди сѐ, возво́дитъ гдⷭ҇ь на вы̀ во́дꙋ рѣкѝ си́льнꙋ и҆ мно́гꙋ, царѧ̀ а҆ссѷрі́йска и҆ сла́вꙋ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ взы́детъ на всѧ́кꙋ де́брь ва́шꙋ, и҆ ѡ҆бы́детъ всѧ́кꙋ стѣ́нꙋ ва́шꙋ,
7 now therefore, behold, the Lord brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
8 и҆ ѿи́метъ ѿ і҆ꙋде́и человѣ́ка, и҆́же возмо́жетъ главꙋ̀ воздви́гнꙋти, и҆лѝ могꙋ́щаго что̀ соверши́ти: и҆ бꙋ́детъ по́лкъ є҆гѡ̀, во є҆́же напо́лнити ширинꙋ̀ страны̀ твоеѧ̀, съ на́ми бг҃ъ!
8 It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through. It will reach even to the neck. The stretching out of its wings will fill the width of your land, O Immanuel.
9 Разꙋмѣ́йте, ꙗ҆зы́цы, и҆ покарѧ́йтесѧ, ᲂу҆слы́шите да́же до послѣ́днихъ землѝ: могꙋ́щїи, покарѧ́йтесѧ: а҆́ще бо па́ки возмо́жете, па́ки побѣжде́ни бꙋ́дете,
9 Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!
10 и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще совѣ́тъ совѣща́ете, разори́тъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ сло́во, є҆́же а҆́ще возглаго́лете, не пребꙋ́детъ въ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ съ на́ми бг҃ъ.
10 Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.”
11 Та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: крѣ́пкою рꙋко́ю не покарѧ́ютсѧ хожде́нїю пꙋтѝ люді́й си́хъ, глаго́люще:
11 For Yahweh spoke this to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 да не когда̀ рекꙋ́тъ: же́стоко: все́ бо, є҆́же а҆́ще рекꙋ́тъ лю́дїе сі́и, же́стоко є҆́сть: стра́ха же и҆́хъ не ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ, нижѐ возмѧти́тесѧ.
12 “Don’t call a conspiracy all that this people call a conspiracy. Don’t fear their threats or be terrorized.
13 Гдⷭ҇а си́лъ, того̀ ѡ҆свѧти́те, и҆ то́й бꙋ́детъ тебѣ̀ въ стра́хъ.
13 Yahweh of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
14 И҆ а҆́ще бꙋ́деши ᲂу҆пова́ѧ на него̀, бꙋ́детъ тебѣ̀ во ѡ҆сщ҃е́нїе, а҆ не ꙗ҆́коже ѡ҆ ка́мень претыка́нїѧ преткне́шисѧ, нижѐ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ ка́мень паде́нїѧ: до́мове же і҆а̑кѡвли въ прꙋ́глѣ, и҆ въ раздо́лїи сѣдѧ́щїи во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.
14 He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a stumbling stone and a rock that makes them fall. For the people of Jerusalem, he will be a trap and a snare.
15 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди и҆знемо́гꙋтъ въ ни́хъ мно́зи, и҆ падꙋ́тъ, и҆ сокрꙋша́тсѧ, и҆ прибли́жатсѧ, и҆ ꙗ҆́ти бꙋ́дꙋтъ человѣ́цы въ тверды́ни сꙋ́ще.
15 Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”
16 Тогда̀ ꙗ҆вле́ни бꙋ́дꙋтъ печатлѣ́ющїи зако́нъ, є҆́же не ᲂу҆чи́тисѧ.
16 Wrap up the covenant. Seal the law among my disciples.
17 И҆ рече́тъ: пождꙋ̀ бг҃а ѿвра́щшагѡ лицѐ своѐ ѿ до́мꙋ і҆а́кѡвлѧ и҆ ᲂу҆пова́ѧ бꙋ́дꙋ на́нь.
17 I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Сѐ, а҆́зъ и҆ дѣ́ти, ꙗ҆̀же мѝ дадѐ бг҃ъ: и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ зна́мєнїѧ и҆ чꙋдеса̀ въ домꙋ̀ і҆и҃левѣ ѿ гдⷭ҇а саваѡ́ѳа, и҆́же ѡ҆бита́етъ на горѣ̀ сїѡ́нъ.
18 Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of Armies, who dwells in Mount Zion.
19 И҆ а҆́ще рекꙋ́тъ къ ва́мъ: и҆зыщи́те чревоволше́бникѡвъ и҆ ѿ землѝ возглаша́ющихъ, тщесло́вꙋющихъ, и҆̀же ѿ чре́ва глаша́ютъ, не ꙗ҆зы́къ ли къ бг҃ꙋ своемꙋ̀ взы́щетъ; что̀ и҆спытꙋ́ютъ мє́ртвыѧ ѡ҆ живы́хъ;
19 When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter,” shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
20 Зако́нъ бо въ по́мощь дадѐ, да рекꙋ́тъ не ꙗ҆́коже сло́во сїѐ, за́ньже не лѣ́ть да́ры даѧ́ти.
20 Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
21 И҆ прїи́детъ на вы̀ же́стокъ гла́дъ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ, є҆гда̀ вза́лчете, ско́рбни бꙋ́дете и҆ ѕло̀ рече́те кнѧ́зю и҆ ѻ҆те́чествꙋ:
21 They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry. It will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse their king and their God. They will turn their faces upward,
22 и҆ воззрѧ́тъ на не́бо горѣ̀, и҆ на зе́млю ни́зꙋ при́зрѧтъ, и҆ сѐ, скꙋ́дость тѣ́сна и҆ тьма̀, ско́рбь и҆ тѣснота̀ и҆ тьма̀, ꙗ҆́коже не ви́дѣти: и҆ не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́етъ въ тѣснотѣ̀ сы́й да́же до вре́мене.
22 then look to the earth and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.

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 before the child shall have knowledge to cry, Father or mother, He shall receive the power of Damascus, and the spoils of Samaria, against the king of the Assyrians;" declaring, in a mysterious manner indeed, but emphatically, that the Lord did fight with a hidden hand against Amalek.
How is it then that the prophet said, "Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz?" Because, when he was born, there was a taking and dividing of spoils, therefore the event that took place in his time is put as his name.

… beside the waters of comfort, He hath converted my soul:--that Angels also may share your joy, and Christ Himself the great High Priest, having accepted your resolve, may present you all to the Father, saying, Behold, I and the children whom God hath given Me.

It is very shameful, and not only shameful, but very foolish, to take from things below a guess at things above, and from a fluctuating nature at the things that are unchanging, and as Isaiah says, to seek the Living among the dead. But yet I will try, for your sake, to give you some assistance for your argument, even …

Again, there are those who say, "He is a man, and who shall know him?" and, "I came unto the prophetess, and she bare a son, and His name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God;" and those [of them] who proclaimed Him as Immanuel, [born] of the Virgin, exhibited the union of the Word of God with His own …
