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 Сїѧ̑ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆дѝ и҆ вни́ди въ до́мъ царѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́дина и҆ рцы̀ та́мѡ сло́во сїѐ,
1 Yahweh said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there:
2 и҆ рече́ши: слы́ши сло́во гдⷭ҇не, царю̀ і҆ꙋ́динъ, и҆́же сѣди́ши на престо́лѣ даві́довѣ, ты̀ и҆ до́мъ тво́й, и҆ рабѝ твоѝ и҆ лю́дїе твоѝ и҆ входѧ́щїи две́рьми си́ми:
2 ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.
3 сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: твори́те сꙋ́дъ и҆ пра́вдꙋ, и҆ и҆зба́вите си́лою ᲂу҆гнете́на ѿ рꙋкꙋ̀ ѡ҆би́дѧщагѡ и҆̀, и҆ прише́льца и҆ си́ра и҆ вдови́цы не ѡ҆скорблѧ́йте, не ᲂу҆гнета́йте беззако́ннѡ, и҆ кро́ве непови́нныѧ не и҆злива́йте на мѣ́стѣ се́мъ.
3 Yahweh says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood in this place.
4 А҆́ще бо творѧ́ще сотворитѐ сло́во сїѐ, то̀ вни́дꙋтъ врата́ми до́мꙋ сегѡ̀ ца́рїе сѣдѧ́щїи на престо́лѣ даві́довѣ и҆ всѣда́ющїи на колєсни́цы и҆ на ко́ни, ті́и и҆ рабѝ и҆́хъ и҆ лю́дїе и҆́хъ.
4 For if you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their people.
5 А҆́ще же не послꙋ́шаете слове́съ си́хъ, са́мъ собо́ю заклѧ́хсѧ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ пꙋсты́ню бꙋ́детъ до́мъ се́й.
5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says Yahweh, “that this house will become a desolation.”’”
6 Поне́же та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь на до́мъ царѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́дина: галаа́дъ ты̀ мнѣ̀, глава̀ лїва́нскаѧ, а҆́ще не поста́влю тебѐ въ пꙋсты́ню, во гра́ды неѡбита̑нны,
6 For Yahweh says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
7 и҆ наведꙋ̀ на тѧ̀ ᲂу҆бива́юща мꙋ́жа и҆ сѣки́рꙋ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ посѣкꙋ́тъ и҆збра̑нныѧ ке́дры твоѧ̑ и҆ ве́ргꙋтъ на ѻ҆́гнь.
7 I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
8 И҆ про́йдꙋтъ ꙗ҆зы́цы мно́зи сквозѣ̀ гра́дъ се́й, и҆ рече́тъ кі́йждо и҆́скреннемꙋ своемꙋ̀: вскꙋ́ю сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь та́кѡ гра́дꙋ семꙋ̀ вели́комꙋ;
8 “Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this great city?’
9 И҆ ѿвѣща́ютъ: сегѡ̀ ра́ди, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ста́виша завѣ́тъ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а своегѡ̀ и҆ поклони́шасѧ богѡ́мъ чꙋжди̑мъ и҆ послꙋжи́ша и҆̀мъ.
9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God, worshiped other gods, and served them.’”
10 Не пла́чите ме́ртвагѡ, нижѐ рыда́йте ѡ҆ не́мъ: пла́чите пла́чемъ ѡ҆ и҆сходѧ́щемъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не возврати́тсѧ ктомꙋ̀, нижѐ ᲂу҆ви́дитъ землѝ рожде́нїѧ своегѡ̀.
10 Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not see his native country.
11 Поне́же сїѧ̑ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ селли́мꙋ сы́нꙋ і҆ѡсі́инꙋ царю̀ і҆ꙋ́динꙋ ца́рствꙋющемꙋ вмѣ́стѡ і҆ѡсі́и ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀, и҆́же и҆зше́лъ є҆́сть ѿ мѣ́ста сегѡ̀: не возврати́тсѧ ктомꙋ̀ сѣ́мѡ,
11 For Yahweh says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more.
12 но на мѣ́стѣ то́мъ, а҆́може преведо́хъ є҆го̀, та́мѡ ᲂу҆́мретъ и҆ землѝ сеѧ̀ не ᲂу҆́зритъ ктомꙋ̀.
12 But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.”
13 Го́ре созида́ющемꙋ до́мъ сво́й съ непра́вдою и҆ гѡ́рницы своѧ̑ не въ сꙋдѣ̀, ᲂу҆ негѡ́же бли́жнїй є҆гѡ̀ дѣ́лаетъ тꙋ́не, и҆ мзды̀ є҆гѡ̀ не возда́стъ є҆мꙋ̀:
13 “Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;
14 и҆́же речѐ: сози́ждꙋ себѣ̀ до́мъ простра́ненъ, и҆ гѡ́рницы ширѡ́ки со ѿве́рстыми ѻ҆́кнами и҆ свѡ́ды ке́дровыми, и҆ распи̑саны че́рвленцемъ.
14 who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.
15 Є҆да̀ ца́рствовати бꙋ́деши, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ поѡщрѧ́ешисѧ ѡ҆ а҆ха́зѣ ѻ҆тцѣ̀ твое́мъ; не ꙗ҆дѧ́тъ, нижѐ пїю́тъ: лꙋ́чше тебѣ̀ бы́ло твори́ти сꙋ́дъ и҆ пра́вдꙋ бла́гꙋ.
15 “Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
16 Не позна́ша, не сꙋди́ша сꙋда̀ смире́нныхъ, нижѐ сꙋда̀ ни́ща: не сїе́ ли тебѣ̀ є҆́сть, є҆́же не зна́ти тебѣ̀ менѐ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь;
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me?” says Yahweh.
17 Сѐ, не сꙋ́ть ѻ҆́чи твоѝ, нижѐ се́рдце твоѐ бла́го, но къ сребролю́бїю твоемꙋ̀ и҆ кро́ве непови́нныѧ пролїѧ́нїю, и҆ ко ѡ҆би́дамъ и҆ ко ᲂу҆бі́йствꙋ, є҆́же твори́ти ѧ҆̀.
17 But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”
18 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди сїѧ̑ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко і҆ѡакі́мꙋ сы́нꙋ і҆ѡсі́инꙋ царю̀ і҆ꙋ́динꙋ: го́ре мꙋ́жꙋ семꙋ̀, не ѡ҆пла́чꙋтъ є҆гѡ̀: го́ре, бра́те! нижѐ возрыда́ютъ ѡ҆ не́мъ: ᲂу҆вы̀ мнѣ̀, господи́не!
18 Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “They won’t lament for him, saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’ They won’t lament for him, saying ‘Ah lord!’ or, ‘Ah his glory!’
19 Погребе́нїемъ ѻ҆́слимъ погребе́тсѧ, влачи́мь и҆зве́рженъ бꙋ́детъ внѣ̀ вра́тъ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма.
19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
20 Взы́ди на лїва́нъ и҆ возопі́й, и҆ въ васа́нъ да́ждь гла́съ тво́й, и҆ возопі́й на ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ мо́рѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сотре́ни сꙋ́ть всѝ любо́внїи твоѝ.
20 “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out. Lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers have been destroyed.
21 Гл҃ахъ къ тебѣ̀ въ паде́нїи твое́мъ, и҆ ре́клъ є҆сѝ: не ᲂу҆слы́шꙋ. Се́й пꙋ́ть тво́й ѿ ю҆́ности твоеѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не послꙋ́шалъ є҆сѝ гла́са моегѡ̀.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity, but you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey my voice.
22 Всѣ́хъ па́стырей твои́хъ ᲂу҆пасе́тъ вѣ́тръ, и҆ любо́внїи твоѝ во плѣне́нїе по́йдꙋтъ, и҆ тогда̀ постыди́шисѧ и҆ посрами́шисѧ ѿ всѣ́хъ лю́бѧщихъ тѧ̀:
22 The wind will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.
23 и҆́же сѣди́ши въ лїва́нѣ и҆ гнѣзди́шисѧ въ ке́дрѣхъ, возстене́ши, є҆гда̀ прїи́дꙋтъ къ тебѣ̀ бѡлѣ́зни, ꙗ҆́кѡ ражда́ющїѧ.
23 Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail!
24 Живꙋ̀ а҆́зъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ і҆ехоні́а сы́нъ і҆ѡакі́ма ца́рь і҆ꙋ́динъ, пе́рстень на рꙋцѣ̀ деснѣ́й мое́й, ѿтꙋ́дꙋ и҆сто́ргнꙋ тѧ̀
24 “As I live,” says Yahweh, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.
25 и҆ преда́мъ тѧ̀ въ рꙋ́ки и҆́щꙋщихъ дꙋшѝ твоеѧ̀ и҆ въ рꙋ́ки, и҆́хже ты̀ бои́шисѧ лица̀, и҆ въ рꙋ́ки навꙋходоно́сора царѧ̀ вавѷлѡ́нска и҆ въ рꙋ́ки халде́ѡмъ,
25 I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 и҆ ѿве́ргꙋ тѧ̀ и҆ ма́терь твою̀, ꙗ҆́же роди́ тѧ, въ зе́млю чꙋ́ждꙋ, въ не́йже нѣ́сте рожде́ни, и҆ та́мѡ ᲂу҆́мрете:
26 I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
27 а҆ въ зе́млю, въ ню́же ті́и жела́ютъ дꙋша́ми свои́ми возврати́тисѧ, не возвратѧ́тсѧ.
27 But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”
28 Ѡ҆безче́стисѧ і҆ехоні́а, а҆́ки сосꙋ́дъ непотре́бенъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿринове́нъ бы́сть то́й и҆ сѣ́мѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ и҆зве́рженъ въ зе́млю, є҆ѧ́же не вѣ́дѧше.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know?
29 Землѐ, землѐ, землѐ, слы́ши сло́во гдⷭ҇не!
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear Yahweh’s word!
30 Сїѧ̑ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: напишѝ мꙋ́жа сего̀ ѿве́ржена, мꙋ́жа, и҆́же во дне́хъ свои́хъ не пред̾ꙋспѣ́етъ: ниже́ бо бꙋ́детъ ѿ сѣ́мене є҆гѡ̀ мꙋ́жъ, и҆́же сѧ́детъ на престо́лѣ даві́довѣ, и҆ вла́сть и҆мѣ́ѧй ктомꙋ̀ во і҆ꙋ́дѣ.
30 Yahweh says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”

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).
… the kingdom; Jeremiah thus declaring, "As I live, saith the Lord, if Jechoniah the son of Joachim king of Judah had been made the signet of my right hand, I would pluck him thence, and deliver him into the hand of those seeking thy life." And again: "Jechoniah is dishonoured as a useless vessel, for he has been cast into …
For Jeremiah says, "Behold, neither thine eyes nor thy heart are good; but [they are turned] to thy covetousness, and to shed innocent blood, and for injustice, and for man-slaying, that thou mayest do it." And again Isaiah saith, "Ye have taken counsel, but not of Me; and made covenants, [but] not by My Spirit." In order, therefore, that their …
