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 А҆́ще ѿпꙋ́ститъ мꙋ́жъ женꙋ̀ свою̀, и҆ ѿи́детъ ѿ негѡ̀ и҆ бꙋ́детъ мꙋ́жꙋ и҆но́мꙋ, є҆да̀ возвраща́ющисѧ возврати́тсѧ къ немꙋ̀ па́ки; є҆да̀ непоро́чна бꙋ́детъ и҆ неѡскверне́на жена̀ та̀; Ты́ же соблꙋди́ла є҆сѝ съ па́стырьми мно́гими, и҆ возвраща́ласѧ є҆сѝ ко мнѣ̀, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.

1 “They say, ‘If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and becomes another man’s, should he return to her again?’ Wouldn’t that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the prostitute with many lovers; yet return again to me,” says Yahweh.

2 Воздви́гни ѻ҆́чи твоѝ на правотꙋ̀ и҆ ви́ждь, гдѣ̀ не смѣси́ласѧ є҆сѝ; На пꙋте́хъ сидѣ́ла є҆сѝ а҆́ки вра́на ѡ҆со́бѧщаѧсѧ и҆ ѡ҆скверни́ла є҆сѝ зе́млю въ любодѣѧ́нїихъ и҆ въ лꙋка́вствѣхъ твои́хъ,

2 “Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see! Where have you not been lain with? You have sat waiting for them by the road, as an Arabian in the wilderness. You have polluted the land with your prostitution and with your wickedness.

3 и҆ и҆мѣ́ла є҆сѝ па́стырей мно́гихъ въ претыка́нїе себѣ̀: лицѐ жены̀ блꙋдни́цы бы́сть тебѣ̀, не хотѣ́ла є҆сѝ постыдѣ́тисѧ ко всѣ̑мъ.

3 Therefore the showers have been withheld and there has been no latter rain; yet you have had a prostitute’s forehead and you refused to be ashamed.

4 Не а҆́ки ли до́момъ менѐ нарекла̀ є҆сѝ и҆ ѻ҆ц҃е́мъ и҆ вожде́мъ дѣ́вства твоегѡ̀;

4 Will you not from this time cry to me, ‘My Father, you are the guide of my youth!’?

5 є҆да̀ пребꙋ́детъ во вѣ́къ, и҆лѝ сохрани́тсѧ въ побѣ́дꙋ; Сїѧ̑ глаго́лала є҆сѝ, и҆ сотвори́ла є҆сѝ ѕла̑ѧ, и҆ возмогла̀ є҆сѝ.

5 “‘Will he retain his anger forever? Will he keep it to the end?’ Behold, you have spoken and have done evil things, and have had your way.”

6 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко мнѣ̀ во дни̑ і҆ѡсі́и царѧ̀: ви́дѣлъ ли є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́ ми до́мъ і҆и҃левъ; поидо́ша на всѧ́кꙋ го́рꙋ высо́кꙋ и҆ под̾ всѧ́ко дре́во ли́ствѧно и҆ соблꙋди́ша та́мѡ.

6 Moreover, Yahweh said to me in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and has played the prostitute there.

7 И҆ реко́хъ повнегда̀ прелюбодѣ́йствовати є҆мꙋ̀ во всѣ́хъ си́хъ: ко мнѣ̀ ѡ҆брати́сѧ. И҆ не ѡ҆брати́сѧ. И҆ ви́дѣ престꙋпле́нїе є҆гѡ̀ престꙋ́пница і҆ꙋде́а сестра̀ є҆гѡ̀.

7 I said after she had done all these things, ‘She will return to me;’ but she didn’t return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

8 И҆ ви́дѣхъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ (и҆з̾ѡбличе́нъ є҆́сть), въ ни́хже ꙗ҆́тъ бы́сть, въ ни́хже любодѣ́йствова до́мъ і҆и҃левъ: сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѿпꙋсти́хъ и҆̀ и҆ да́хъ є҆мꙋ̀ кни́гꙋ распꙋ́стнꙋю въ рꙋ́цѣ є҆гѡ̀. Ѻ҆ба́че не ᲂу҆боѧ́сѧ престꙋ́пница і҆ꙋде́а (сестра̀ є҆гѡ̀), но и҆́де и҆ соблꙋди́ла є҆́сть и҆ та̀:

8 I saw when, for this very cause, that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, had no fear, but she also went and played the prostitute.

9 и҆ бы́сть ни во что̀ блꙋ́дъ є҆ѧ̀, и҆ ѡ҆сквернѝ зе́млю, и҆ соблꙋди́ла є҆́сть съ ка́менемъ и҆ со дре́вомъ.

9 Because she took her prostitution lightly, the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with wood.

10 И҆ во всѣ́хъ си́хъ не ѡ҆брати́сѧ ко мнѣ̀ престꙋ́пница сестра̀ є҆ѧ̀ і҆ꙋде́а ѿ всегѡ̀ се́рдца своегѡ̀, но во лжѝ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.

10 Yet for all this her treacherous sister, Judah, has not returned to me with her whole heart, but only in pretense,” says Yahweh.

11 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко мнѣ̀: ѡ҆правда̀ дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ ѿстꙋ́пница і҆и҃ль, па́че престꙋ́пницы і҆ꙋде́и:

11 Yahweh said to me, “Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

12 и҆дѝ, и҆ прочтѝ словеса̀ та̑ къ сѣ́верꙋ, и҆ рече́ши: ѡ҆брати́сѧ ко мнѣ̀, до́ме і҆и҃левъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆ не ᲂу҆тверждꙋ̀ лица̀ моегѡ̀ на ва́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ млⷭ҇тивъ а҆́зъ є҆́смь, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ не прогнѣ́ваюсѧ на вы̀ во вѣ́ки.

12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, ‘Return, you backsliding Israel,’ says Yahweh; ‘I will not look in anger on you, for I am merciful,’ says Yahweh. ‘I will not keep anger forever.

13 Ѻ҆ба́че вѣ́ждь беззако́нїе твоѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а твоего̀ престꙋпи́ла є҆сѝ, и҆ расточи́ла є҆сѝ пꙋти̑ твоѧ̑ чꙋжди̑мъ под̾ всѧ́кимъ дре́вомъ ли́ствѧнымъ, гла́са же моегѡ̀ не послꙋ́шала є҆сѝ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.

13 Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against Yahweh your God, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice,’” says Yahweh.

14 Ѡ҆брати́тесѧ, сы́нове ѿстꙋпи́вшїи, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ воз̾ѡблада́ю ва́ми и҆ поимꙋ́ вы є҆ди́наго ѿ гра́да и҆ двꙋ́хъ ѿ пле́мене, и҆ введꙋ̀ ва́съ въ сїѡ́нъ

14 “Return, backsliding children,” says Yahweh, “for I am a husband to you. I will take one of you from a city, and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.

15 и҆ да́мъ ва́мъ па̑стыри по срⷣцꙋ моемꙋ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆пасꙋ́тъ ва́съ ра́зꙋмомъ и҆ ᲂу҆че́нїемъ.

15 I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.

16 И҆ бꙋ́детъ, є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆мно́житесѧ и҆ возрасте́те на землѝ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь, во дни̑ ѡ҆́ны не рекꙋ́тъ ктомꙋ̀: кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та ст҃а́гѡ і҆и҃лева: не взы́детъ на се́рдце, ни воспомѧне́тсѧ, нижѐ посѣти́тсѧ, нижѐ сотвори́тсѧ ктомꙋ̀.

16 It will come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days,” says Yahweh, “they will no longer say, ‘the ark of Yahweh’s covenant!’ It will not come to mind. They won’t remember it. They won’t miss it, nor will another be made.

17 Во дни̑ ѡ҆́ны нарекꙋ́тъ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма прⷭ҇то́лъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ соберꙋ́тсѧ къ немꙋ̀ всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, и҆ не по́йдꙋтъ ктомꙋ̀ в̾слѣ́дъ похоте́й се́рдца своегѡ̀ ѕлѣ́йшагѡ.

17 At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘Yahweh’s Throne;’ and all the nations will be gathered to it, to Yahweh’s name, to Jerusalem. They will no longer walk after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

18 Во дне́хъ тѣ́хъ прїи́детъ до́мъ і҆ꙋ́динъ ко до́мꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ, и҆ по́йдꙋтъ вкꙋ́пѣ ѿ землѝ сѣ́верныѧ и҆ ѿ всѣ́хъ стра́нъ къ землѝ, ю҆́же да́хъ въ наслѣ́дїе ѻ҆тцє́мъ и҆́хъ.

18 In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together out of the land of the north to the land that I gave for an inheritance to your fathers.

19 А҆́зъ же рѣ́хъ: да бꙋ́детъ, гдⷭ҇и, ꙗ҆́кѡ положꙋ́ тѧ въ ча̑да и҆ да́мъ тебѣ̀ зе́млю и҆збра́ннꙋю, достоѧ́нїе бг҃а вседержи́телѧ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ: и҆ реко́хъ: ѻ҆ц҃е́мъ нарече́те мѧ̀ и҆ ѿ менє̀ не ѿвратите́сѧ.

19 “But I said, ‘How I desire to put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the armies of the nations!’ and I said, ‘You shall call me “My Father”, and shall not turn away from following me.’

20 Ѻ҆ба́че ꙗ҆́коже ѿверга́етсѧ жена̀ сожи́телѧ своегѡ̀, та́кѡ ѿве́ржесѧ ѿ менє̀ до́мъ і҆и҃левъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.

20 “Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so you have dealt treacherously with me, house of Israel,” says Yahweh.

21 Гла́съ и҆з̾ ᲂу҆сте́нъ слы́шанъ бы́сть пла́ча и҆ моле́нїѧ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ беззако́нноваша въ пꙋте́хъ свои́хъ, забы́ша гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ст҃а́го своего̀.

21 A voice is heard on the bare heights, the weeping and the petitions of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Yahweh their God.

22 Возврати́тесѧ, сы́нове возвраща́ющїисѧ, и҆ и҆сцѣлю̀ сокрꙋшє́нїѧ ва̑ша. Сѐ, рабѝ мы̀ бꙋ́демъ тебѣ̀, ты́ бо є҆сѝ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ на́шъ.

22 Return, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backsliding. “Behold, we have come to you; for you are Yahweh our God.

23 И҆́стиннѡ лжи́ви бы́ша хо́лми и҆ мно́жество го́ръ, то́кмѡ гдⷭ҇емъ бг҃омъ на́шимъ спⷭ҇нїе і҆и҃лево.

23 Truly help from the hills, the tumult on the mountains, is in vain. Truly the salvation of Israel is in Yahweh our God.

24 Стꙋ́дъ же поѧдѐ трꙋды̀ ѻ҆тє́цъ на́шихъ, ѿ ю҆́ности на́шеѧ, ѻ҆́вцы и҆́хъ и҆ тельцы̀ и҆́хъ, и҆ сы́ны и҆́хъ и҆ дщє́ри и҆́хъ.

24 But the shameful thing has devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

25 Оу҆снꙋ́хомъ въ постыдѣ́нїи на́шемъ, и҆ покры̀ на́съ безче́стїе на́ше, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ на́шемꙋ согрѣши́хомъ, мы̀ и҆ ѻ҆тцы̀ на́ши, ѿ ю҆́ности на́шеѧ да́же до сегѡ̀ днѐ, и҆ не послꙋ́шахомъ гла́са гдⷭ҇а бг҃а на́шегѡ.

25 Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us; for we have sinned against Yahweh our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day. We have not obeyed Yahweh our God’s voice.”

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).

Quotes verse 3:7 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXVII)
Hear what God saith unto Jerusalem, "I said, after she had committed all these whoredoms, Turn thou unto me, and she returned not." When we have come back unto the earnest love of God, He remembers not the former things.

Which He doth in the prophets also, using these words, "I said, Turn thou unto me, and she returned not." Then having called her, He tells also her blood-stained deeds, "Thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, and ye would not," in this way also …
