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 Сїѐ пре́жде и҆спі́й, ско́рѡ творѝ, страно̀ завꙋлѡ́нѧ и҆ землѐ нефѳалі́млѧ, и҆ про́чїи при мо́ри живꙋ́щїи, и҆ ѡ҆б̾ ѻ҆нꙋ̀ странꙋ̀ і҆ѻрда́на, галїле́а ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ.
1 But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 Лю́дїе ходѧ́щїи во тьмѣ̀ ви́дѣша свѣ́тъ ве́лїй: живꙋ́щїи во странѣ̀ и҆ сѣ́ни сме́ртнѣй, свѣ́тъ возсїѧ́етъ на вы̀.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.
3 Мно́жайшїи лю́дїе, ꙗ҆̀же и҆зве́лъ є҆сѝ, въ весе́лїи твое́мъ: и҆ возвеселѧ́тсѧ пред̾ тобо́ю, ꙗ҆́коже веселѧ́щїисѧ въ жа́твꙋ, и҆ ꙗ҆́коже веселѧ́тсѧ дѣлѧ́щїи коры̑сти.
3 You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
4 Занѐ ѿѧ́тсѧ ꙗ҆ре́мъ лежа́й на ни́хъ, и҆ же́злъ, и҆́же на вы́и и҆́хъ: же́злъ бо и҆стѧзꙋ́ющихъ разсы́па гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́коже въ де́нь, и҆́же на мадїа́ма.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.
5 Ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́кꙋю ѻ҆де́ждꙋ со́браннꙋ ле́стїю и҆ ри́зꙋ съ примире́нїемъ ѿдадꙋ́тъ, и҆ восхотѧ́тъ, да бы́ша ѻ҆гне́мъ сожже́ны бы́ли.
5 For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
6 Ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆троча̀ роди́сѧ на́мъ, сн҃ъ, и҆ даде́сѧ на́мъ, є҆гѡ́же нача́льство бы́сть на ра́мѣ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ нарица́етсѧ и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀: вели́ка совѣ́та а҆́гг҃лъ, чꙋ́денъ, совѣ́тникъ, бг҃ъ крѣ́пкїй, властели́нъ, кн҃зь ми́ра, ѻ҆ц҃ъ бꙋ́дꙋщагѡ вѣ́ка: приведꙋ́ бо ми́ръ на кнѧ̑зи, ми́ръ и҆ здра́вїе є҆мꙋ̀.
6 For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 И҆ ве́лїе нача́льство є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ми́ра є҆гѡ̀ нѣ́сть предѣ́ла на прⷭ҇то́лѣ дв҃довѣ и҆ на црⷭ҇твѣ є҆гѡ̀, и҆спра́вити є҆̀ и҆ застꙋпи́ти є҆го̀ въ сꙋдѣ̀ и҆ пра́вдѣ, ѿнн҃ѣ и҆ до вѣ́ка: ре́вность гдⷭ҇а саваѡ́ѳа сотвори́тъ сїѧ̑.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.
8 Сме́рть посла̀ гдⷭ҇ь на і҆а́кѡва, и҆ прїи́де на і҆и҃лѧ:
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel.
9 и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ютъ всѝ лю́дїе є҆фре́мѡвы и҆ живꙋ́щїи въ самарі́и, въ досажде́нїи и҆ высо́цѣмъ се́рдцы глаго́люще:
9 All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
10 плі̑нѳы падо́ша, но прїиди́те, и҆зсѣче́мъ ка́менїе и҆ посѣче́мъ черни́чїе и҆ ке́дры, и҆ сози́ждемъ себѣ̀ сто́лпъ.
10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”
11 И҆ разрꙋши́тъ бг҃ъ востаю́щыѧ на го́рꙋ сїѡ́ню, и҆ врагѝ є҆гѡ̀ разсы́плетъ:
11 Therefore Yahweh will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
12 сѷрі́ю ѿ востѡ́къ со́лнца и҆ є҆́ллины ѿ за́пада со́лнца, поѧда́ющыѧ і҆и҃лѧ всѣ́ми ᲂу҆сты̑. Во всѣ́хъ си́хъ не ѿврати́сѧ ꙗ҆́рость є҆гѡ̀, но є҆щѐ рꙋка̀ є҆гѡ̀ высока̀.
12 The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 И҆ лю́дїе не ѡ҆брати́шасѧ, до́ндеже ꙗ҆́звени бы́ша, и҆ гдⷭ҇а не взыска́ша.
13 Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought Yahweh of Armies.
14 И҆ ѿѧ́тъ гдⷭ҇ь ѿ і҆и҃лѧ главꙋ̀ и҆ ѡ҆́шибъ, вели́ка и҆ ма́ла, во є҆ди́нъ де́нь:
14 Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
15 ста́рца и҆ чꙋдѧ́щихсѧ ли́цамъ, сїѐ нача́ло: и҆ проро́ка ᲂу҆ча́ща беззакѡ́ннаѧ, се́й ѡ҆́шибъ.
15 The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
16 И҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ блажа́щїи люді́й си́хъ льстѧ́ще, и҆ льстѧ́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да поглотѧ́тъ ѧ҆̀.
16 For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѡ҆ ю҆́ношахъ и҆́хъ не возвесели́тсѧ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ сиро́тъ и҆́хъ и҆ вдови́цъ и҆́хъ не поми́лꙋетъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ всѝ беззако́ннїи и҆ лꙋка́вїи, и҆ всѧ̑каѧ ᲂу҆ста̀ глаго́лютъ непра́вдꙋ. Во всѣ́хъ си́хъ не ѿврати́сѧ ꙗ҆́рость є҆гѡ̀, но є҆щѐ рꙋка̀ є҆гѡ̀ высока̀.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 И҆ разгори́тсѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́гнь беззако́нїе, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ тро́скотъ сꙋхі́й поѧде́нъ бꙋ́детъ ѻ҆гне́мъ, и҆ разгори́тсѧ въ ча́щахъ дꙋбра́вныхъ и҆ поѧ́стъ, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆́крестъ холмѡ́въ всѧ̑.
18 For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19 За ꙗ҆́рость гнѣ́ва гдⷭ҇нѧ сгорѣ̀ всѧ̀ землѧ̀, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ лю́дїе ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆гне́мъ пожже́ни: человѣ́къ бра́та своегѡ̀ не поми́лꙋетъ,
19 Through Yahweh of Armies’ wrath, the land is burned up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.
20 но ᲂу҆клони́тсѧ на де́сно, ꙗ҆́кѡ вза́лчетъ, и҆ снѣ́сть ѿ шꙋ́їихъ, и҆ не насы́титсѧ человѣ́къ ꙗ҆ды́й плѡ́ти мы́шцы своеѧ̀: снѣ́сть бо манассі́й є҆фре́мово, и҆ є҆фре́мъ манассі́ино, ꙗ҆́кѡ вкꙋ́пѣ повою́ютъ і҆ꙋ́дꙋ.
20 One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
21 Во всѣ́хъ си́хъ не ѿврати́сѧ ꙗ҆́рость (є҆гѡ̀), но є҆щѐ рꙋка̀ є҆гѡ̀ высока̀.
21 Manasseh eating Ephraim and Ephraim eating Manasseh, and they together will be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

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).
There are the following predictions: --"Unto us a child is born, and unto us a young man is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulders;" which is significant of the power of the cross, for to it, when He was crucified, He applied His shoulders, as shall be more clearly made out in the ensuing discourse.
… the foal of an ass; that He received for drink, vinegar and gall; that He was despised among the people, and humbled Himself even to death and that He is the holy Lord, the Wonderful, the Counsellor, the Beautiful in appearance, and the Mighty God, coming on the clouds as the Judge of all men; --all these things did the …
The Lord saw him, he concerning whom it was said, "They that sat under the shadow of death, unto them hath light arisen." What then was said to Nathanael?

… nation by a part of it, nor signifies obscurely all the tribes; mark how the Prophet distinguishes that place, saying "The land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people which sat in darkness, saw great light:" by darkness here not meaning that which is sensible, but men's errors and ungodliness.

The soul when it was deified descended into Hades, in order that, just as the Sun of Righteousness rose for those upon the earth, so likewise He might bring light to those who sit under the earth in darkness and shadow of death: in order that just as He brought the message of peace to those upon the earth, …
