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 Грѣ́хъ і҆ꙋ́динъ напи́санъ є҆́сть писа́ломъ желѣ́знымъ на но́гти а҆дама́нтовѣ, начерта́нъ на скрижа́ли се́рдца и҆́хъ и҆ на ро́зѣхъ ѻ҆лтаре́й и҆́хъ.
1 EL pecado de Judá escrito está con cincel de hierro, [y] con punta de diamante: esculpido está en la tabla de su corazón, y en los lados de vuestros altares;
1 “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond. It is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars.
2 Є҆гда̀ воспомѧ́нꙋтъ сы́нове и҆́хъ ѻ҆лтари̑ своѧ̑ и҆ дꙋбра̑вы своѧ̑ при дре́вѣ ли́ственнѣ и҆ на холмѣ́хъ высо́кихъ,
2 Cuando sus hijos se acuerdan de sus altares y de sus bosques, junto á los árboles verdes y en los collados altos.
2 Even their children remember their altars and their Asherah poles by the green trees on the high hills.
3 ѽ, наго́рный (жи́телю)! крѣ́пость твою̀ и҆ сокрѡ́вища твоѧ̑ въ расхище́нїе да́мъ, и҆ высѡ́каѧ твоѧ̑, грѣ̑хъ ра́ди твои́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же во всѣ́хъ предѣ́лѣхъ твои́хъ,
3 ¡Oh mi montaña! tu hacienda en el campo y todos tus tesoros daré á saco, por el pecado de tus altos en todos tus términos.
3 My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a plunder, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
4 и҆ ѡ҆ста́нешисѧ є҆ди́нъ ѿ наслѣ́дїѧ твоегѡ̀, є҆́же да́хъ тебѣ̀: и҆ слꙋжи́ти тѧ̀ сотворю̀ врагѡ́мъ твои̑мъ въ землѝ, є҆ѧ́же не вѣ́си: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́гнь разже́глъ є҆сѝ въ ꙗ҆́рости мое́й, да́же во вѣ́къ горѣ́ти бꙋ́детъ. Сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь:
4 Y habrá en ti cesación de tu heredad, la cual yo te dí, y te haré servir á tus enemigos en tierra que no conociste; porque fuego habéis encendido en mi furor, para siempre arderá.
4 You, even of yourself, will discontinue from your heritage that I gave you. I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don’t know, for you have kindled a fire in my anger which will burn forever.”
5 про́клѧтъ человѣ́къ, и҆́же надѣ́етсѧ на человѣ́ка и҆ ᲂу҆тверди́тъ пло́ть мы́шцы своеѧ̀ на не́мъ, и҆ ѿ гдⷭ҇а ѿстꙋ́питъ се́рдце є҆гѡ̀:
5 Así ha dicho Jehová: Maldito el varón que confía en el hombre, y pone carne por su brazo, y su corazón se aparta de Jehová.
5 Yahweh says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, relies on strength of flesh, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
6 и҆ бꙋ́детъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ди́вїѧ мѷрі́ка въ пꙋсты́ни и҆ не ᲂу҆́зритъ, є҆гда̀ прїи́дꙋтъ блага̑ѧ, и҆ ѡ҆бита́ти бꙋ́детъ въ сꙋхотѣ̀ и҆ въ пꙋсты́ни, въ землѝ сла́нѣй и҆ неѡбита́емѣй.
6 Pues será como la retama en el desierto, y no verá cuando viniere el bien; sino que morará en las securas en el desierto, en tierra despoblada y deshabitada.
6 For he will be like a bush in the desert, and will not see when good comes, but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, an uninhabited salt land.
7 И҆ бл҃гослове́нъ человѣ́къ, и҆́же надѣ́етсѧ на гдⷭ҇а, и҆ бꙋ́детъ гдⷭ҇ь ᲂу҆пова́нїе є҆гѡ̀:
7 Bendito el varón que se fía en Jehová, y cuya confianza es Jehová.
7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.
8 и҆ бꙋ́детъ ꙗ҆́кѡ дре́во насажде́нное при вода́хъ, и҆ во вла́гѣ пꙋ́ститъ коре́нїе своѐ: не ᲂу҆бои́тсѧ, є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ зно́й, и҆ бꙋ́детъ на не́мъ сте́блїе зеле́но, и҆ во вре́мѧ бездо́ждїѧ не ᲂу҆страши́тсѧ и҆ не преста́нетъ твори́ти плода̀.
8 Porque él será como el árbol plantado junto á las aguas, que junto á la corriente echará sus raices, y no verá cuando viniere el calor, sino que su hoja estará verde; y en el año de sequía no se fatigará, ni dejará de hacer fruto.
8 For he will be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes, but its leaf will be green, and will not be concerned in the year of drought. It won’t cease from yielding fruit.
9 Глꙋбоко̀ се́рдце (человѣ́кꙋ) па́че всѣ́хъ, и҆ человѣ́къ є҆́сть, и҆ кто̀ позна́етъ є҆го̀;
9 Engañoso es el corazón más que todas las cosas, y perverso; ¿quién lo conocerá?
9 The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?
10 А҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь и҆спытꙋ́ѧй сердца̀ и҆ и҆скꙋша́ѧй ᲂу҆трѡ́бы, є҆́же возда́ти комꙋ́ждо по пꙋтѝ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ по плодѡ́мъ и҆з̾ѡбрѣ́тенїй є҆гѡ̀.
10 Yo Jehová, que escudriño el corazón, que pruebo los riñones, para dar á cada uno según su camino, según el fruto de sus obras.
10 “I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”
11 Возгласѝ рѧ́бъ, собра̀, и҆́хже не родѝ, творѧ́й бога́тство своѐ не съ сꙋдо́мъ: въ преполове́нїи дні́й свои́хъ ѡ҆ста́витъ є҆̀ и҆ на послѣ́докъ сво́й бꙋ́детъ безꙋ́менъ.
11 Como la perdiz que cubre lo que no puso, es el que allega riquezas, y no con justicia; en medio de sus días las dejará, y en su postrimería será insipiente.
11 As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool.
12 Прⷭ҇то́лъ сла́вы возвыше́нъ ѿ нача́ла, мѣ́сто ст҃ы́ни на́шеѧ.
12 Trono de gloria, excelso desde el principio, [es] el lugar de nuestro santuario.
12 A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Ча́ѧнїе і҆и҃лево, гдⷭ҇и! всѝ ѡ҆ставлѧ́ющїи тѧ̀ да постыдѧ́тсѧ, ѿстꙋпа́ющїи (ѿ тебє̀) на землѝ да напи́шꙋтсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ста́виша и҆сто́чникъ живы́хъ во́дъ, гдⷭ҇а.
13 ¡Oh Jehová, esperanza de Israel! todos los que te dejan, serán avergonzados; y los que de mí se apartan, serán escritos en el polvo; porque dejaron la vena de aguas vivas, á Jehová.
13 Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be disappointed. Those who depart from me will be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters.
14 И҆сцѣли́ мѧ, гдⷭ҇и, и҆ и҆сцѣлѣ́ю: сп҃си́ мѧ, и҆ спⷭ҇нъ бꙋ́дꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ хвала̀ моѧ̀ ты̀ є҆сѝ.
14 Sáname, oh Jehová, y seré sano; sálvame, y seré salvo: porque tú eres mi alabanza.
14 Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved; for you are my praise.
15 Сѐ, ті́и глаго́лютъ ко мнѣ̀: гдѣ̀ є҆́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇не; да прїи́детъ.
15 He aquí que ellos me dicen: ¿Dónde está la palabra de Jehová? venga ahora.
15 Behold, they ask me, “Where is Yahweh’s word? Let it be fulfilled now.”
16 А҆́зъ же не ᲂу҆трꙋди́хсѧ, тебѣ̀ (па́стырю) послѣ́дꙋѧй, и҆ днѐ человѣ́ча не пожела́хъ: ты̀ вѣ́си и҆сходѧ̑щаѧ ѿ ᲂу҆сте́нъ мои́хъ, пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ сꙋ́ть:
16 Mas yo no me entrometí á ser pastor en pos de ti, ni deseé día de calamidad, tú lo sabes. Lo que de mi boca ha salido, fué en tu presencia.
16 As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you. I haven’t desired the woeful day. You know. That which came out of my lips was before your face.
17 не бꙋ́ди мѝ во ѿчꙋжде́нїе, ᲂу҆пова́нїе моѐ ты̀ въ де́нь лю́тъ.
17 No me seas tú por espanto: esperanza mía eres tú en el día malo.
17 Don’t be a terror to me. You are my refuge in the day of evil.
18 Да постыдѧ́тсѧ гонѧ́щїи мѧ̀, а҆́зъ же да не постыждꙋ́сѧ: да ᲂу҆страша́тсѧ ті́и, а҆́зъ же да не ᲂу҆страшꙋ́сѧ: наведѝ на ни́хъ де́нь ѡ҆ѕлобле́нїѧ, сꙋгꙋ́бымъ сокрꙋше́нїемъ сотрѝ и҆̀хъ.
18 Avergüéncense los que me persiguen, y no me avergüence yo; asómbrense ellos, y yo no me asombre: trae sobre ellos día malo, y quebrántalos con doble quebrantamiento.
18 Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but don’t let me be disappointed. Let them be dismayed, but don’t let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19 Сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь ко мнѣ̀: и҆дѝ и҆ ста́ни во вратѣ́хъ сынѡ́въ люді́й твои́хъ, и҆́миже вхо́дѧтъ ца́рїе і҆ꙋ̑дины и҆ и҆схо́дѧтъ, и҆ во всѣ́хъ вратѣ́хъ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мскихъ и҆ рече́ши къ ни̑мъ:
19 Así me ha dicho Jehová: Ve, y ponte á la puerta de los hijos del pueblo, por la cual entran y salen los reyes de Judá, y á todas las puertas de Jerusalem,
19 Yahweh said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
20 слы́шите сло́во гдⷭ҇не, ца́рїе і҆ꙋ̑дины и҆ всѧ̀ і҆ꙋде́а и҆ ве́сь і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, входѧ́щїи во врата̀ сїѧ̑.
20 Y diles: Oid la palabra de Jehová, reyes de Judá, y todo Judá, y todos los moradores de Jerusalem que entráis por estas puertas.
20 Tell them, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, you kings of Judah, all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
21 Сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: сохрани́те дꙋ́шы ва́шѧ и҆ не носи́те бреме́нъ въ де́нь сꙋббѡ́тъ, и҆ не и҆сходи́те враты̀ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма,
21 Así ha dicho Jehová: Guardaos por vuestras vidas, y no traigáis carga en el día del sábado, para meter por las puertas de Jerusalem;
21 Yahweh says, “Be careful, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
22 и҆ не и҆зноси́те бреме́нъ и҆з̾ домѡ́въ ва́шихъ въ де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный, и҆ всѧ́кагѡ дѣ́ла не твори́те: ѡ҆свѧти́те де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́дахъ ѻ҆тцє́мъ ва́шымъ:
22 Ni saquéis carga de vuestras casas en el día del sábado, ni hagáis obra alguna: mas santificad el día del sábado, como mandé á vuestros padres;
22 Don’t carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day. Don’t do any work, but make the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers.
23 и҆ не ᲂу҆слы́шаша, ни приклони́ша ᲂу҆́ха своегѡ̀, но ѡ҆жесточи́ша вы̑и своѧ̑ па́че ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ, да не ᲂу҆слы́шатъ мѧ̀ и҆ да не прїи́мꙋтъ наказа́нїѧ.
23 Mas ellos no oyeron, ni inclinaron su oído, antes endurecieron su cerviz, por no oir, ni recibir corrección.
23 But they didn’t listen. They didn’t turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
24 И҆ бꙋ́детъ, а҆́ще послꙋ́шаете менѐ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь, є҆́же не вноси́ти бреме́нъ во врата̀ гра́да сегѡ̀ въ де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный, и҆ свѧти́ти де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный, не твори́ти во́нь всѧ́кагѡ дѣ́ла,
24 Será empero, si vosotros me obedeciereis, dice Jehová, no metiendo carga por las puertas de esta ciudad en el día del sábado, sino que santificareis el día del sábado, no haciendo en él ninguna obra;
24 It will happen, if you diligently listen to me,” says Yahweh, “to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;
25 и҆ вни́дꙋтъ во врата̀ гра́да сегѡ̀ ца́рїе и҆ нача̑льницы, сѣдѧ́щїи на престо́лѣ даві́довѣ и҆ восходѧ́щїи на колесни́цахъ и҆ ко́нехъ свои́хъ, ті́и и҆ нача̑льницы и҆́хъ, мꙋ́жїе і҆ꙋ̑дины и҆ ѡ҆бита́телїе і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма: и҆ ѡ҆бита́ти бꙋ́дꙋтъ во гра́дѣ се́мъ во вѣ́ки:
25 Que entrarán por las puertas de esta ciudad, en carros y en caballos, los reyes y los príncipes que se sientan sobre el trono de David, ellos y sus príncipes, los varones de Judá, y los moradores de Jerusalem: y esta ciudad será habitada para siempre.
25 then there will enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on David’s throne, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city will remain forever.
26 и҆ прїи́дꙋтъ ѿ градѡ́въ і҆ꙋ́диныхъ и҆ ѿ ѡ҆кре́стныхъ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, и҆ ѿ землѝ венїамі́ни и҆ ѿ по́льныхъ, и҆ ѿ го́рнихъ и҆ ѿ ю҆́га, носѧ́ще всесожжє́нїѧ и҆ же́ртвꙋ, и҆ ѳѷмїа́мъ и҆ манаꙋ̀ и҆ лїва́нъ, носѧ́ще хвалꙋ̀ въ до́мъ гдⷭ҇ень.
26 Y vendrán de las ciudades de Judá, y de los alrededores de Jerusalem, y de tierra de Benjamín, y de los campos, y del monte, y del austro, trayendo holocausto y sacrificio, y ofrenda é incienso, y trayendo sacrificio de alabanza á la casa de Jehová.
26 They will come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the lowland, from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, sacrifices, meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving to Yahweh’s house.
27 И҆ бꙋ́детъ, а҆́ще не послꙋ́шаете менѐ є҆́же свѧти́ти де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный и҆ не носи́ти бреме́нъ, нижѐ входи́ти врата́ми і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма въ де́нь сꙋббѡ́тный, то̀ зажгꙋ̀ ѻ҆́гнь во вратѣ́хъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ пожре́тъ до́мы і҆ерⷭ҇ли̑мли и҆ не ᲂу҆га́снетъ.
27 Mas si no me oyereis para santificar el día del sábado, y para no traer carga ni meterla por las puertas de Jerusalem en día de sábado, yo haré encender fuego en sus puertas, y consumirá los palacios de Jerusalem, y no se apagará.
27 But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem. It will not be quenched.”’”

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).
… Christ above, who extended himself through Horos, and imparted a form to their mother; or is it He who is from the Virgin, Emmanuel, who did eat butter and honey, of whom the prophet declared, "He is also a man, and who shall know him?" He was likewise preached by Paul: "For I delivered," he says, "unto you first of …
… called his name Enos, which means man," and "He hoped to call on the name of the Lord God," are sufficient proof that man ought not to rest his hopes in himself; as it is elsewhere written, "Cursed is the man that trusteth in man." Consequently no one ought to trust in himself that he shall become a citizen of …

… to know men's secrets, hear what saith the prophet, "Thou most entirely alone knowest the hearts;" and again, "God trieth the hearts and reins; " and Jeremiah too saith, "The heart is deep above all things, and it is man, and who shall know him?" and, "Man shall look on the face, but God on the heart." And by many …

… lying images, wherein there is no profit." But that the Jews, by whom He behoved even to be slain, were not going to acknowledge Him, this prophet thus intimates: "Heavy is the heart through all; and He is a man, and who shall know Him?" That passage also is his which I have quoted in the seventeenth book concerning the …

For inasmuch as they continually disbelieved the prophets, and used to say, "Where is the day of the Lord:" and "let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know it," by reason that it was many years before what they said came to pass; to lead them off from this encouragement also, he sets the …
