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 Ѡ҆быди́те пꙋти̑ і҆ерⷭ҇ли̑мскїѧ и҆ воззри́те, и҆ позна́йте и҆ поищи́те на сто́гнахъ є҆гѡ̀, а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щете мꙋ́жа творѧ́щаго сꙋ́дъ и҆ и҆́щꙋща вѣ́ры: и҆ млⷭ҇рдъ бꙋ́дꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.

1 “Run back and forth through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in its wide places, if you can find a man, if there is anyone who does justly, who seeks truth, then I will pardon her.

2 Живе́тъ гдⷭ҇ь, глаго́лютъ, сегѡ̀ ра́ди не во лжа́хъ ли кленꙋ́тсѧ;

2 Though they say, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ surely they swear falsely.”

3 Гдⷭ҇и, ѻ҆́чи твоѝ (зрѧ́тъ) на вѣ́рꙋ: би́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ, и҆ не поболѣ́ша, сокрꙋши́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ, и҆ не восхотѣ́ша прїѧ́ти наказа́нїѧ: ѡ҆жесточи́ша ли́ца своѧ̑ па́че ка́мене и҆ не хотѣ́ша ѡ҆брати́тисѧ.

3 O Yahweh, don’t your eyes look on truth? You have stricken them, but they were not grieved. You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock. They have refused to return.

4 А҆́зъ же рѣ́хъ: не́гли ᲂу҆бо́зи сꙋ́ть (и҆ бꙋ́їи), тогѡ̀ ра́ди не возмого́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ᲂу҆вѣ́даша пꙋтѝ гдⷭ҇нѧ и҆ сꙋда̀ бг҃а своегѡ̀.

4 Then I said, “Surely these are poor. They are foolish; for they don’t know Yahweh’s way, nor the law of their God.

5 Пойдꙋ̀ ко держа̑внымъ и҆ возглаго́лю и҆̀мъ, ті́и бо позна́ша пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень и҆ сꙋ́дъ бг҃а своегѡ̀. И҆ сѐ, є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ сі́и сокрꙋши́ша и҆́го, расторго́ша ᲂу҆́зы.

5 I will go to the great men and will speak to them, for they know the way of Yahweh, and the law of their God.” But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

6 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди поразѝ и҆̀хъ ле́въ ѿ дꙋбра́вы, и҆ во́лкъ да́же до домѡ́въ погꙋбѝ и҆̀хъ, и҆ ры́сь бдѧ́ше над̾ града́ми и҆́хъ: всѝ и҆сходѧ́щїи ѿ ни́хъ бꙋ́дꙋтъ ꙗ҆́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆мно́жиша нечє́стїѧ своѧ̑, ᲂу҆крѣпи́шасѧ во ѿвраще́нїихъ свои́хъ.

6 Therefore a lion out of the forest will kill them. A wolf of the evenings will destroy them. A leopard will watch against their cities. Everyone who goes out there will be torn in pieces, because their transgressions are many and their backsliding has increased.

7 Ѡ҆ че́мъ ѿ си́хъ млⷭ҇рдъ бꙋ́дꙋ тебѣ̀; сы́нове твоѝ ѡ҆ста́виша мѧ̀ и҆ клѧ́шасѧ тѣ́ми, и҆̀же не сꙋ́ть бо́зи: насы́тихъ и҆̀хъ, и҆ прелюбодѣ́йствоваша и҆ въ домѣ́хъ блꙋдни́цъ ѡ҆бита́ша,

7 “How can I pardon you? Your children have forsaken me, and sworn by what are no gods. When I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the prostitutes’ houses.

8 ко́ни женонеи́стовни сотвори́шасѧ, кі́йждо ко женѣ̀ и҆́скреннѧгѡ своегѡ̀ ржа́ше.

8 They were as fed horses roaming at large. Everyone neighed after his neighbor’s wife.

9 Є҆да̀ ѡ҆ си́хъ не посѣщꙋ̀; речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆лѝ ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ сицево́мꙋ не мсти́тъ дш҃а̀ моѧ̀;

9 Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says Yahweh. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

10 Взы́дите на стѣ́ны є҆гѡ̀ и҆ разори́те, ѡ҆конча́нїѧ же не сотвори́те: ѡ҆ста́вите подпѡ́ры є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ни сꙋ́ть.

10 “Go up on her walls, and destroy, but don’t make a full end. Take away her branches, for they are not Yahweh’s.

11 Престꙋпле́нїемъ бо престꙋпи́лъ є҆́сть на мѧ̀ до́мъ і҆и҃левъ и҆ до́мъ і҆ꙋ́динъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.

11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me,” says Yahweh.

12 Солга́ша гдⷭ҇ꙋ своемꙋ̀ и҆ реко́ша: не сꙋ́ть сїѧ̑, нижѐ прїи́дꙋтъ на на́съ ѕла̑ѧ, и҆ меча̀ и҆ гла́да не ᲂу҆́зримъ:

12 They have denied Yahweh, and said, “It is not he. Evil won’t come on us. We won’t see sword or famine.

13 проро́цы на́ши бы́ша на вѣ́тръ, и҆ сло́во гдⷭ҇не не бѣ̀ въ ни́хъ, та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ и҆̀мъ.

13 The prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them. Thus it will be done to them.”

14 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь си́лъ: зане́же глаго́лали є҆стѐ сло́во сїѐ, сѐ, а҆́зъ даю̀ словеса̀ моѧ̑ во ᲂу҆ста̀ твоѧ̑ ѻ҆́гнь, и҆ лю́ди сїѧ̑ древа̀, и҆ поѧ́стъ и҆̀хъ.

14 Therefore Yahweh, the God of Armies says, “Because you speak this word, behold, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it will devour them.

15 Сѐ, а҆́зъ наведꙋ̀ на ва́съ ꙗ҆зы́къ и҆здале́ча, до́ме і҆и҃левъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆зы́къ си́льный, ꙗ҆зы́къ ста́рый, є҆гѡ́же ѧ҆зы́ка не ᲂу҆вѣ́си, (ни ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́еши, что̀ глаго́летъ):

15 Behold, I will bring a nation on you from far away, house of Israel,” says Yahweh. “It is a mighty nation. It is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you don’t know and don’t understand what they say.

16 тꙋ́лъ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ гро́бъ ѿве́рстъ, всѝ крѣ́пцыи и҆ поѧдѧ́тъ жа́твꙋ ва́шꙋ

16 Their quiver is an open tomb. They are all mighty men.

17 и҆ хлѣ́бы ва́шѧ, и҆ поѧдѧ́тъ сынѡ́въ ва́шихъ и҆ дще́рей ва́шихъ, и҆ снѣдѧ́тъ ѻ҆ве́цъ ва́шихъ и҆ тельцє́въ ва́шихъ, и҆ поѧдѧ́тъ вїногра́ды ва́шѧ и҆ смѡ́кви ва́шѧ и҆ ма̑сличїѧ ва̑ша, и҆ сокрꙋша́тъ гра́ды ва́шѧ твє́рдыѧ, на ни́хже вы̀ ᲂу҆пова́сте, мече́мъ.

17 They will eat up your harvest and your bread, which your sons and your daughters should eat. They will eat up your flocks and your herds. They will eat up your vines and your fig trees. They will beat down your fortified cities in which you trust with the sword.

18 Ѻ҆ба́че во дне́хъ ѻ҆́нѣхъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й, не сотворю̀ ва́съ во и҆стребле́нїе.

18 “But even in those days,” says Yahweh, “I will not make a full end of you.

19 И҆ бꙋ́детъ, є҆гда̀ рече́те: почто̀ сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ на́шъ на́мъ сїѧ̑ всѧ̑; И҆ рече́ши къ ни̑мъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ста́висте мѧ̀ и҆ послꙋжи́сте богѡ́мъ чꙋжди̑мъ въ землѝ ва́шей, та́кѡ послꙋ́жите богѡ́мъ чꙋжди̑мъ въ землѝ не ва́шей.

19 It will happen when you say, ‘Why has Yahweh our God done all these things to us?’ Then you shall say to them, ‘Just as you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your land, so you will serve strangers in a land that is not yours.’

20 Возвѣсти́те сїѧ̑ до́мꙋ і҆а́кѡвлю и҆ слы́шано сотвори́те въ домꙋ̀ і҆ꙋ́динѣ (рекꙋ́ще):

20 “Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,

21 слы́шите сїѧ̑, лю́дїе бꙋ́їи и҆ не и҆мꙋ́щїи се́рдца, и҆̀же, и҆мѣ́юще ѻ҆́чи, не ви́дите, и҆ ᲂу҆́шы, и҆ не слы́шите:

21 ‘Hear this now, foolish people without understanding, who have eyes, and don’t see, who have ears, and don’t hear:

22 менє́ ли не ᲂу҆боите́сѧ; речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆лѝ ѿ лица̀ моегѡ̀ не ᲂу҆стыдите́сѧ; и҆́же положи́хъ песо́къ предѣ́лъ мо́рю, за́повѣдь вѣ́чнꙋ, и҆ не превзы́детъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ возмꙋти́тсѧ и҆ не возмо́жетъ: и҆ возшꙋмѧ́тъ вѡ́лны є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не пре́йдꙋтъ тогѡ̀.

22 Don’t you fear me?’ says Yahweh; ‘Won’t you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it can’t pass it? Though its waves toss themselves, yet they can’t prevail. Though they roar, they still can’t pass over it.’

23 Лю́демъ же си̑мъ бы́сть се́рдце непослꙋ́шно и҆ непокори́во, и҆ ᲂу҆клони́шасѧ и҆ поидо́ша,

23 “But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart. They have revolted and gone.

24 и҆ не реко́ша въ се́рдцы свое́мъ: ᲂу҆бои́мсѧ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а на́шегѡ, даю́щагѡ на́мъ до́ждь ра́ннїй и҆ по́здный во вре́мѧ и҆сполне́нїѧ повелѣ́нїѧ жа́твы и҆ хранѧ́щагѡ на́мъ.

24 They don’t say in their heart, ‘Let’s now fear Yahweh our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season, who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.’

25 Беззакѡ́нїѧ на̑ша ᲂу҆клони́ша сїѧ̑, и҆ грѣсѝ на́ши ѿри́нꙋша блага̑ѧ ѿ на́съ.

25 “Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.

26 Ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брѣто́шасѧ въ лю́дехъ мои́хъ нечести́вїи, и҆ сѣ̑ти поста́виша, є҆́же погꙋби́ти мꙋ́жы, и҆ ᲂу҆лови́ша.

26 For wicked men are found among my people. They watch, as fowlers lie in wait. They set a trap. They catch men.

27 А҆́ки клѣ́тка поста́влена полна̀ пти́цъ, та́кѡ до́мы и҆́хъ по́лни ле́сти: сегѡ̀ ра́ди возвели́чишасѧ и҆ ѡ҆богати́шасѧ:

27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. Therefore they have become great, and grew rich.

28 ᲂу҆ты́ша и҆ ᲂу҆толстѣ́ша и҆ престꙋпи́ша словеса̀ моѧ̑ ѕлѣ́йшїи: прю̀ вдови́цы не сꙋди́ша, сꙋда̀ си́ра не ᲂу҆пра́виша и҆ сꙋда̀ ᲂу҆бѡ́гимъ не сꙋди́ша.

28 They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excel in deeds of wickedness. They don’t plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they don’t defend the rights of the needy.

29 Є҆да̀ си́хъ ра́ди не посѣщꙋ̀; речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆лѝ ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ сицево́мꙋ не ѿмсти́тъ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀;

29 “Shouldn’t I punish for these things?” says Yahweh. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

30 Оу҆́жасъ и҆ стра̑шнаѧ содѣ́ѧшасѧ на землѝ:

30 “An astonishing and horrible thing has happened in the land.

31 проро́цы проро́чествоваша непра́вєднаѧ, и҆ свѧще́нницы восплеска́ша рꙋка́ми свои́ми, и҆ лю́дїе моѝ возлюби́ша такѡва́ѧ. И҆ что̀ сотворитѐ въ послѣ̑днѧѧ си́хъ;

31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority; and my people love to have it so. What will you do in the end of it?

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).
