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 Прїиди́те нн҃ѣ, бога́тїи, пла́читесѧ и҆ рыда́йте ѡ҆ лю́тыхъ ско́рбехъ ва́шихъ грѧдꙋ́щихъ на вы̀.
1 EA ya ahora, oh ricos, llorad aullando por vuestras miserias que os vendrán.
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.
2 Бога́тство ва́ше и҆згнѝ, и҆ ри̑зы ва́шѧ мо́лїе поѧдо́ша.
2 Vuestras riquezas están podridas: vuestras ropas están comidas de polilla.
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
3 Зла́то ва́ше и҆ сребро̀ и҆зоржа́вѣ, и҆ ржа̀ и҆̀хъ въ послꙋ́шество на ва́съ бꙋ́детъ, и҆ снѣ́сть плѡ́ти ва́шѧ а҆́ки ѻ҆́гнь: є҆го́же сниска́сте въ послѣ̑днїѧ дни̑.
3 Vuestro oro y plata están corrompidos de orín; y su orín os será en testimonio, y comerá del todo vuestras carnes como fuego. Os habéis allegado tesoro para en los postreros días.
3 Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.
4 Сѐ, мзда̀ дѣ́лателей дѣ́лавшихъ ни̑вы ва́шѧ, ᲂу҆держа́наѧ ѿ ва́съ, вопїе́тъ, и҆ вопїє́нїѧ жа́вшихъ во ᲂу҆́шы гдⷭ҇а саваѡ́ѳа внидо́ша.
4 He aquí, el jornal de los obreros que han segado vuestras tierras, el cual por engaño no les ha sido pagado de vosotros, clama; y los clamores de los que habían segado, han entrado en los oídos del Señor de los ejércitos.
4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Armies.
5 Возвесели́стесѧ на землѝ, и҆ наслади́стесѧ: ᲂу҆пита́сте сердца̀ ва̑ша а҆́ки въ де́нь заколе́нїѧ.
5 Habéis vivido en deleites sobre la tierra, y sido disolutos; habéis cebado vuestros corazones como en el día de sacrificios.
5 You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
6 Ѡ҆сꙋди́сте, ᲂу҆би́сте првⷣнаго: не проти́витсѧ ва́мъ.
6 Habéis condenado [y] muerto al justo; [y] él no os resiste.
6 You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.
7 Долготерпи́те ᲂу҆̀бо, бра́тїе моѧ̑, до прише́ствїѧ гдⷭ҇нѧ. Сѐ земледѣ́лецъ жде́тъ честна́гѡ плода̀ ѿ землѝ, долготерпѧ̀ ѡ҆ не́мъ, до́ндеже прїи́метъ до́ждь ра́нъ и҆ по́зденъ:
7 Pues, hermanos, tened paciencia hasta la venida del Señor. Mirad [cómo] el labrador espera el precioso fruto de la tierra, aguardando con paciencia, hasta que reciba la lluvia temprana y tardía.
7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
8 долготерпи́те ᲂу҆̀бо и҆ вы̀, ᲂу҆тверди́те сердца̀ ва̑ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ прише́ствїе гдⷭ҇не прибли́жисѧ.
8 Tened también vosotros paciencia; confirmad vuestros corazones: porque la venida del Señor se acerca.
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
9 Не воздыха́йте дрꙋ́гъ на дрꙋ́га, бра́тїе, да не ѡ҆сꙋжде́ни бꙋ́дете: сѐ, сꙋдїѧ̀ пред̾ две́рьми стои́тъ.
9 Hermanos, no os quejéis unos contra otros, porque no seáis condenados; he aquí, el juez está delante de la puerta.
9 Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
10 Ѡ҆́бразъ прїими́те, бра́тїе моѧ̑, ѕлострада́нїѧ и҆ долготерпѣ́нїѧ прⷪ҇ро́ки, и҆̀же глаго́лаша и҆́менемъ гдⷭ҇нимъ.
10 Hermanos míos, tomad por ejemplo de aflicción y de paciencia, á los profetas que hablaron en nombre del Señor.
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 Сѐ, блажи́мъ терпѧ́щыѧ. Терпѣ́нїе і҆́ѡвле слы́шасте, и҆ кончи́нꙋ гдⷭ҇ню ви́дѣсте, ꙗ҆́кѡ многомлⷭ҇тивъ є҆́сть гдⷭ҇ь и҆ ще́дръ.
11 He aquí, tenemos por bienaventurados á los que sufren. Habéis oído la paciencia de Job, y habéis visto el fin del Señor, que el Señor es muy misericordioso y piadoso.
11 Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12 Пре́жде же всѣ́хъ, бра́тїе моѧ̑, не клени́тесѧ ни нб҃омъ, ни земле́ю, ни и҆но́ю ко́ею клѧ́твою: бꙋ́ди же ва́мъ є҆́же є҆́й, є҆́й, и҆ є҆́же нѝ, нѝ: да не въ лицемѣ́рїе впаде́те.
12 Mas sobre todo, hermanos míos, no juréis, ni por el cielo, ni por la tierra, ni por otro cualquier juramento; sino vuestro sí sea sí, y vuestro no sea no; porque no caigáis en condenación.
12 But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear—not by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your “yes” be “yes”, and your “no”, “no”, so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy.
13 Ѕлостра́ждетъ ли кто̀ въ ва́съ; да моли́твꙋ дѣ́етъ: благодꙋ́шствꙋетъ ли кто̀; да пое́тъ.
13 ¿Está alguno entre vosotros afligido? haga oración. ¿Está alguno alegre? cante salmos.
13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
14 Боли́тъ ли кто̀ въ ва́съ, да призове́тъ пресвѵ́теры церкѡ́вныѧ, и҆ да моли́твꙋ сотворѧ́тъ над̾ ни́мъ, пома́завше є҆го̀ є҆ле́емъ во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не:
14 ¿Está alguno enfermo entre vosotros? llame á los ancianos de la iglesia, y oren por él, ungiéndole con aceite en el nombre del Señor.
14 Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;
15 и҆ моли́тва вѣ́ры спасе́тъ болѧ́щаго, и҆ воздви́гнетъ є҆го̀ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆ а҆́ще грѣхѝ сотвори́лъ є҆́сть, ѿпꙋ́стѧтсѧ є҆мꙋ̀.
15 Y la oración de fe salvará al enfermo, y el Señor lo levantará; y si estuviere en pecados, le serán perdonados.
15 and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
16 И҆сповѣ́дайте ᲂу҆̀бо дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́гꙋ согрѣшє́нїѧ и҆ моли́тесѧ дрꙋ́гъ за дрꙋ́га, ꙗ҆́кѡ да и҆сцѣлѣ́ете: мно́гѡ бо мо́жетъ моли́тва првⷣнагѡ поспѣшествꙋ́ема.
16 Confesaos vuestras faltas unos á otros, y rogad los unos por los otros, para que seáis sanos; la oración del justo, obrando eficazmente, puede mucho.
16 Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
17 И҆лїа̀ человѣ́къ бѣ̀ подобостра́стенъ на́мъ, и҆ моли́твою помоли́сѧ, да не бꙋ́детъ до́ждь, и҆ не ѡ҆дождѝ по землѝ лѣ̑та трѝ и҆ мцⷭ҇ъ ше́сть:
17 Elías era hombre sujeto á semejantes pasiones que nosotros, y rogó con oración que no lloviese, y no llovió sobre la tierra en tres años y seis meses.
17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it didn’t rain on the earth for three years and six months.
18 и҆ па́ки помоли́сѧ, и҆ не́бо до́ждь дадѐ, и҆ землѧ̀ прозѧбѐ пло́дъ сво́й.
18 Y otra vez oró, y el cielo dió lluvia, y la tierra produjo su fruto.
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
19 Бра́тїе, а҆́ще кто̀ въ ва́съ заблꙋ́дитъ ѿ пꙋтѝ и҆́стины, и҆ ѡ҆брати́тъ кто̀ є҆го̀,
19 Hermanos, si alguno de entre vosotros ha errado de la verdad, y alguno le convirtiere,
19 Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
20 да вѣ́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брати́вый грѣ́шника ѿ заблꙋжде́нїѧ пꙋтѝ є҆гѡ̀ спасе́тъ дꙋ́шꙋ ѿ сме́рти и҆ покры́етъ мно́жество грѣхѡ́въ.
20 Sepa que el que hubiere hecho convertir al pecador del error de su camino, salvará un alma de muerte, y cubrirá multitud de pecados.
20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

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).
Let us listen to the Apostle James, who states this precept with the greatest clearness when he says, "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another." For of this also the Lord gave us the example.

Also, the converting our brethren from their wandering. For, it is said, "Go thou, and convert thy brethren, that thy sins may be forgiven thee." And from one's being in close relations with the priests, "and if," it is said, "a man hath committed sins it shall be forgiven him." ( Jas.
