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.

2 вѣ́мъ ᲂу҆̀бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ моеѧ̀ ѡ҆бличе́нїе моѐ є҆́сть, и҆ рꙋка̀ є҆гѡ̀ тѧжка̀ бы́сть па́че моегѡ̀ воздыха́нїѧ.
2 Hoy también hablaré con amargura; que es más grave mi llaga que mi gemido.
2 “Even today my complaint is rebellious. His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.
3 Кто̀ ᲂу҆̀бо ᲂу҆вѣ́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋ є҆го̀ и҆ прїидꙋ̀ ко кончи́нѣ;
3 ¡Quién me diera el saber dónde hallar á Dios! yo iría hasta su silla.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!
4 И҆ рекꙋ̀ мо́й сꙋ́дъ, ᲂу҆ста́ же моѧ̑ и҆спо́лню ѡ҆бличе́нїѧ,
4 Ordenaría juicio delante de él, y henchiría mi boca de argumentos.
4 I would set my cause in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ю же и҆сцѣлє́нїѧ, ꙗ҆̀же мѝ рече́тъ, и҆ ѡ҆щꙋщꙋ̀, что́ ми возвѣсти́тъ.
5 Yo sabría lo que él me respondería, y entendería lo que me dijese.
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would tell me.
6 И҆ а҆́ще со мно́гою крѣ́постїю на́йдетъ на мѧ̀, посе́мъ же не воспрети́тъ мѝ.
6 ¿Pleitearía conmigo con grandeza de fuerza? No: antes él la pondría en mí.
6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would listen to me.
7 И҆́стина бо и҆ ѡ҆бличе́нїе ѿ негѡ̀: да и҆зведе́тъ же въ коне́цъ сꙋ́дъ мо́й.
7 Allí el justo razonaría con él: y escaparía para siempre de mi juez.
7 There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge.
8 А҆́ще бо во пе́рвыхъ пойдꙋ̀, ктомꙋ̀ нѣ́смь: въ послѣ́днихъ же, ка́кѡ вѣ́мъ є҆го̀;
8 He aquí yo iré al oriente, y no lo [hallaré]; y al occidente, y no lo percibiré:
8 “If I go east, he is not there. If I go west, I can’t find him.
9 ѡ҆шꙋ́юю творѧ́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ не разꙋмѣ́хъ: ѡ҆бложи́тъ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю, и҆ не ᲂу҆зрю̀.
9 Si al norte él obrare, yo no lo veré; al mediodía se esconderá, y no lo veré.
9 He works to the north, but I can’t see him. He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him.
10 Вѣ́сть бо ᲂу҆жѐ пꙋ́ть мо́й, и҆скꙋси́ же мѧ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ зла́то.
10 Mas él conoció mi camino: probaráme, y saldré como oro.
10 But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.
11 И҆зы́дꙋ же въ за́повѣдехъ є҆гѡ̀, пꙋти̑ бо є҆гѡ̀ сохрани́хъ, и҆ не ᲂу҆клоню́сѧ ѿ за́повѣдїй є҆гѡ̀
11 Mis pies tomaron su rastro; guardé su camino, y no me aparté.
11 My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned away.
12 и҆ не престꙋплю̀, въ нѣ́дрѣхъ же мои́хъ сокры́хъ гл҃го́лы є҆гѡ̀.
12 Del mandamiento de sus labios nunca me separé; guardé las palabras de su boca más que mi comida.
12 I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
13 А҆́ще же и҆ са́мъ сꙋди́лъ та́кѡ, кто́ є҆сть рекі́й проти́вꙋ є҆мꙋ̀; са́мъ бо восхотѣ̀ и҆ сотворѝ.
13 Empero si él [se determina] en una cosa, ¿quién lo apartará? Su alma deseó, é hizo.
13 But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.
14 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѡ҆ не́мъ тре́петенъ бы́хъ, наказꙋ́емь же попеко́хсѧ ѡ҆ не́мъ:
14 El pues acabará lo que ha determinado de mí: y muchas cosas como estas hay en él.
14 For he performs that which is appointed for me. Many such things are with him.
15 сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѿ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀ потщꙋ́сѧ, поꙋчꙋ́сѧ и҆ ᲂу҆бою́сѧ ѿ негѡ̀.
15 Por lo cual yo me espanto en su presencia: consideraré, y temerélo.
15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 И҆ гдⷭ҇ь ᲂу҆мѧгчи́лъ се́рдце моѐ, и҆ вседержи́тель потща́сѧ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀:
16 Dios ha enervado mi corazón, y hame turbado el Omnipotente.
16 For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me.
17 не вѣ́дѣхъ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ на́йдетъ на мѧ̀ тьма̀, пред̾ лице́мъ же мои́мъ покры́етъ мра́къ.
17 ¿Por qué no fuí yo cortado delante de las tinieblas, y cubrió con oscuridad mi rostro?
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.

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).
Place there is none; we go both "backward" and "forward," and there is no place.
