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 Человѣ́къ нѣ́кїй бѧ́ше во странѣ̀ а҆ѵсїтїді́йстѣй, є҆мꙋ́же и҆́мѧ і҆́ѡвъ, и҆ бѣ̀ человѣ́къ ѡ҆́нъ и҆́стиненъ, непоро́ченъ, првⷣнъ, бг҃очести́въ, ᲂу҆далѧ́ѧсѧ ѿ всѧ́кїѧ лꙋка́выѧ ве́щи.
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
2 Бы́ша же є҆мꙋ̀ сы́нове се́дмь и҆ дщє́ри трѝ.
2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 И҆ бѧ́хꙋ ско́ти є҆гѡ̀, ѻ҆ве́цъ се́дмь ты́сѧщъ, вельблю́дѡвъ трѝ ты́сѧщы, сꙋпрꙋ̑гъ волѡ́въ пѧ́ть сѡ́тъ, и҆ ѻ҆сли́цъ пасо́мыхъ пѧ́ть сѡ́тъ, и҆ слꙋ́гъ мно́гѡ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ дѣла̀ вє́лїѧ бѧ́хꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ на землѝ: и҆ бѣ̀ человѣ́къ ѻ҆́ный благоро́днѣйшїй сꙋ́щихъ ѿ востѡ́къ со́лнца.
3 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
4 Сходѧ́щесѧ же сы́нове є҆гѡ̀ дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ, творѧ́хꙋ пи́ръ на кі́йждо де́нь, спое́млюще вкꙋ́пѣ и҆ трѝ сєстры̀ своѧ̑, ꙗ҆́сти и҆ пи́ти съ ни́ми.
4 His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 И҆ є҆гда̀ скончава́шесѧ дні́е пи́ра, посыла́ше і҆́ѡвъ и҆ ѡ҆чища́ше и҆̀хъ, востаѧ̀ заꙋ́тра, и҆ приноша́ше ѡ҆ ни́хъ жє́ртвы по числꙋ̀ и҆́хъ, и҆ тельца̀ є҆ди́наго ѡ҆ грѣсѣ̀ ѡ҆ дꙋша́хъ и҆́хъ. глаго́лаше бо і҆́ѡвъ: не́гли когда̀ сы́нове моѝ согрѣши́ша и҆ въ мы́сли свое́й ѕла̑ѧ помы́слиша проти́вꙋ бг҃а; та́кѡ ᲂу҆̀бо творѧ́ше і҆́ѡвъ всѧ̑ дни̑.
5 It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.” Job did so continually.
6 И҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ де́нь се́й, и҆ сѐ, прїидо́ша а҆́гг҃ли бж҃їи предста́ти пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆ дїа́волъ прїи́де съ ни́ми.
6 Now on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, Satan also came among them.
7 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь дїа́волꙋ: ѿкꙋ́дꙋ прише́лъ є҆сѝ; и҆ ѿвѣща́въ дїа́волъ гдⷭ҇еви, речѐ: ѡ҆бше́дъ зе́млю и҆ проше́дъ поднебе́снꙋю, сѐ, є҆́смь.
7 Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
8 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь: внѧ́лъ ли є҆сѝ мы́слїю твое́ю на раба̀ моего̀ і҆́ѡва; занѐ нѣ́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́нъ на землѝ: человѣ́къ непоро́ченъ, и҆́стиненъ, бг҃очести́въ, ᲂу҆далѧ́ѧсѧ ѿ всѧ́кїѧ лꙋка́выѧ ве́щи.
8 Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”
9 Ѿвѣща́ же дїа́волъ и҆ речѐ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ:
9 Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 є҆да̀ тꙋ́не і҆́ѡвъ чти́тъ гдⷭ҇а; не ты́ ли ѡ҆гради́лъ є҆сѝ внѣ̑шнѧѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ внꙋ́трєннѧѧ до́мꙋ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ꙗ҆̀же внѣ̀ всѣ́хъ сꙋ́щихъ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆́крестъ; дѣла́ же рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ блгⷭ҇ви́лъ є҆сѝ и҆ скоты̀ є҆гѡ̀ мнѡ́ги сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ на землѝ:
10 Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 но послѝ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ и҆ косни́сѧ всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же и҆́мать, а҆́ще не въ лице́ тѧ благослови́тъ,
11 But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”
12 Тогда̀ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь дїа́волꙋ: сѐ, всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сꙋ́ть є҆мꙋ̀, даю̀ въ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀, но самогѡ̀ да не ко́снешисѧ. и҆ и҆зы́де дїа́волъ ѿ гдⷭ҇а.
12 Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don’t stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh.
13 И҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ де́нь се́й, сы́нове і҆́ѡвлєвы и҆ дщє́ри є҆гѡ̀ пїѧ́хꙋ вїно̀ въ домꙋ̀ бра́та своегѡ̀ старѣ́йшагѡ.
13 It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
14 И҆ сѐ, вѣ́стникъ прїи́де ко і҆́ѡвꙋ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: сꙋпрꙋ́зи волѡ́въ ѡ҆рѧ́хꙋ, и҆ ѻ҆сли̑цы пасѧ́хꙋсѧ бли́з̾ и҆́хъ:
14 that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
15 и҆ прише́дше плѣни́телїе плѣни́ша и҆̀хъ и҆ ѻ҆́троки и҆зби́ша мече́мъ, и҆ спасо́хсѧ а҆́зъ є҆ди́нъ и҆ прїидо́хъ возвѣсти́ти тебѣ̀.
15 and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
16 Є҆щѐ семꙋ̀ глаго́лющꙋ, прїи́де и҆́нъ вѣ́стникъ и҆ речѐ ко і҆́ѡвꙋ: ѻ҆́гнь спадѐ съ небесѐ и҆ пожжѐ ѻ҆́вцы и҆ па̑стыри поѧдѐ подо́бнѣ, спасо́хсѧ же а҆́зъ є҆ди́нъ и҆ прїидо́хъ возвѣсти́ти тебѣ̀.
16 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
17 Є҆щѐ семꙋ̀ глаго́лющꙋ, прїи́де и҆́нъ вѣ́стникъ и҆ речѐ ко і҆́ѡвꙋ: кѡ́нницы сотвори́ша нача̑льства трѝ и҆ ѡ҆крꙋжи́ша вельблю́ды и҆ плѣни́ша и҆̀хъ и҆ ѻ҆́троки и҆зби́ша мечьмѝ, спасо́хсѧ же а҆́зъ є҆ди́нъ и҆ прїидо́хъ возвѣсти́ти тебѣ̀.
17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
18 Є҆щѐ семꙋ̀ глаго́лющꙋ, и҆́нъ вѣ́стникъ прїи́де, глаго́лѧ і҆́ѡвꙋ: сынѡ́мъ твои̑мъ и҆ дще́ремъ твои̑мъ ꙗ҆дꙋ́щымъ и҆ пїю́щымъ ᲂу҆ бра́та своегѡ̀ старѣ́йшагѡ,
18 While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
19 внеза́пꙋ вѣ́тръ вели́къ на́йде ѿ пꙋсты́ни и҆ коснꙋ́сѧ четы́ремъ ᲂу҆глѡ́мъ хра́мины, и҆ падѐ хра́мина на дѣ́ти твоѧ̑, и҆ сконча́шасѧ: спасо́хсѧ же а҆́зъ є҆ди́нъ и҆ прїидо́хъ возвѣсти́ти тебѣ̀.
19 and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
20 Та́кѡ (꙳ᲂу҆слы́шавъ) і҆́ѡвъ, воста́въ растерза̀ ри̑зы своѧ̑ и҆ ѡ҆стрижѐ власы̀ главы̀ своеѧ̀, (꙳и҆ посы́па пе́рстїю главꙋ̀ свою̀,) и҆ па́дъ на зе́млю, поклони́сѧ (гдⷭ҇еви)
20 Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped.
21 и҆ речѐ: са́мъ на́гъ и҆зыдо́хъ ѿ чре́ва ма́тере моеѧ̀, на́гъ и҆ ѿидꙋ̀ та́мѡ: гдⷭ҇ь дадѐ, гдⷭ҇ь ѿѧ́тъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇еви и҆зво́лисѧ, та́кѡ бы́сть: бꙋ́ди и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не блгⷭ҇ве́но (во вѣ́ки).
21 He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be Yahweh’s name.”
22 Во всѣ́хъ си́хъ приключи́вшихсѧ є҆мꙋ̀ ничто́же согрѣшѝ і҆́ѡвъ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, (꙳нижѐ ᲂу҆стна́ма свои́ма,) и҆ не дадѐ безꙋ́мїѧ бг҃ꙋ.
22 In all this, Job didn’t sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

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).
… and all who worship Thee when they hear these things shall say: "Blessed be the Lord in heaven and earth, great and wonderful is His name." Thy words had stuck fast into my breast, and I was hedged round about by Thee on every side. Of Thy eternal life I was now certain, although I had seen it "through a …

In this way Paul became clean; therefore also he said, "For if we judged ourselves, we should not be judged." Thus did Job cleanse his sons. For he that offered sacrifices for secret sins, much more did he require an account of such as were manifest.

… tried, but not overcome: "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; as it pleased the Lord, so has it come to pass: blessed be the name of the Lord." Like a good servant, Job counted the will of his Lord his great possession, by …

For he said, "The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away; as it seemed good to the Lord, so is it done, blessed be the Name of the Lord." The fire of temptation approached him; but it found him gold, not stubble; it cleared away the dross from it, but did not reduce it to ashes.
