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 Но послꙋ́шай, і҆́ѡве, слове́съ мои́хъ и҆ бесѣ́дꙋ мою̀ внꙋшѝ:

1 “However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.

2 се́ бо, ѿверзо́хъ ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑, и҆ возглаго́ла ѧ҆зы́къ мо́й:

2 See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.

3 чи́сто се́рдце моѐ во словесѣ́хъ, ра́зꙋмъ же ᲂу҆стнꙋ̀ моє́ю чи̑стаѧ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ:

3 My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.

4 дх҃ъ бж҃їй сотвори́вый мѧ̀, дыха́нїе же вседержи́телево поꙋча́ющее мѧ̀:

4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

5 а҆́ще мо́жеши, да́ждь мѝ ѿвѣ́тъ къ си̑мъ: потерпѝ, ста́ни проти́вꙋ менє̀, и҆ а҆́зъ проти́вꙋ тебє̀.

5 If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up.

6 Ѿ бре́нїѧ сотворе́нъ є҆сѝ ты̀, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ а҆́зъ: ѿ тогѡ́жде сотворе́нїѧ є҆смы̀:

6 Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.

7 не стра́хъ мо́й тѧ̀ смѧте́тъ, нижѐ рꙋка̀ моѧ̀ тѧжка̀ бꙋ́детъ на тѧ̀.

7 Behold, my terror will not make you afraid, neither will my pressure be heavy on you.

8 Ѻ҆ба́че ре́клъ є҆сѝ во ᲂу҆́шы моѝ, и҆ гла́съ глагѡ́лъ твои́хъ ᲂу҆слы́шахъ, зане́же глаго́леши:

8 “Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,

9 чи́стъ є҆́смь а҆́зъ, не согрѣша́ѧ, непоро́ченъ же є҆́смь, и҆́бо не беззако́нновахъ:

9 ‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.

10 зазо́ръ же на мѧ̀ ѡ҆брѣ́те и҆ мни́тъ мѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ проти́вника себѣ̀:

10 Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.

11 вложи́ же но́гꙋ мою̀ въ дре́во и҆ надсмотрѧ́лъ пꙋти̑ моѧ̑ всѧ̑.

11 He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’

12 Ка́кѡ бо глаго́леши, ꙗ҆́кѡ пра́въ є҆́смь, и҆ не послꙋ́ша менѐ; Вѣ́ченъ бо є҆́сть, и҆́же над̾ зємны́ми.

12 “Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.

13 Глаго́леши бо: чесѡ̀ ра́ди пра́вды моеѧ̀ не ᲂу҆слы́ша всѧ́ко сло́во;

13 Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?

14 Є҆ди́ною бо возглаго́летъ гдⷭ҇ь, второ́е же во снѣ̀, и҆лѝ въ поꙋче́нїи нощнѣ́мъ,

14 For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.

15 и҆лѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆гда̀ напа́даетъ стра́хъ лю́тъ на человѣ́ки, во дрема́нїихъ на ло́жи:

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed,

16 тогда̀ ѿкры́етъ ᲂу҆́мъ человѣ́ческїй, видѣ́ньми стра́ха тацѣ́ми и҆̀хъ ᲂу҆страши́тъ,

16 then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,

17 да возврати́тъ человѣ́ка ѿ непра́вды, тѣ́ло же є҆гѡ̀ ѿ паде́нїѧ и҆зба́ви,

17 that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

18 пощадѣ́ же дꙋ́шꙋ є҆гѡ̀ ѿ сме́рти, є҆́же не па́сти є҆мꙋ̀ на бра́ни.

18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

19 Па́ки же ѡ҆бличѝ є҆го̀ болѣ́знїю на ло́жи и҆ мно́жество косте́й є҆гѡ̀ разсла́би:

19 “He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,

20 всѧ́кагѡ же бра́шна пшени́чна не возмо́жетъ прїѧ́ти, а҆ дꙋша̀ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́ди хо́щетъ,

20 so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.

21 до́ндеже согнїю́тъ плѡ́ти є҆гѡ̀, и҆ пока́жетъ кѡ́сти є҆гѡ̀ то́щѧ:

21 His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.

22 прибли́жисѧ же на сме́рть дꙋша̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ живо́тъ є҆гѡ̀ во а҆́дѣ.

22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.

23 А҆́ще бꙋ́детъ ты́сѧща а҆́гг҃лъ смертоно́сныхъ, є҆ди́нъ ѿ ни́хъ не ᲂу҆ѧзви́тъ є҆го̀: а҆́ще помы́слитъ се́рдцемъ ѡ҆брати́тисѧ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, повѣ́сть же человѣ́кꙋ сво́й зазо́ръ, и҆ безꙋ́мїе своѐ пока́жетъ,

23 “If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,

24 застꙋ́питъ є҆̀, є҆́же не впа́сти є҆мꙋ̀ въ сме́рть, ѡ҆бнови́тъ же тѣ́ло є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́коже повапле́нїе на стѣнѣ̀, кѡ́сти же є҆гѡ̀ и҆спо́лнитъ мо́зга:

24 then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’

25 ᲂу҆мѧгчи́тъ же є҆гѡ̀ пло́ть ꙗ҆́коже младе́нца, и҆ ᲂу҆стро́итъ є҆го̀ возмꙋжа́вша въ человѣ́цѣхъ.

25 His flesh will be fresher than a child’s. He returns to the days of his youth.

26 Помо́литсѧ же ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ и҆ прїѧ́тъ и҆́мъ бꙋ́детъ, вни́детъ же лице́мъ весе́лымъ со и҆сповѣ́данїемъ, возда́стъ же человѣ́кѡмъ пра́вдꙋ свою̀.

26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.

27 Посе́мъ тогда̀ за́зритъ человѣ́къ са́мъ себѣ̀, глаго́лѧ: ꙗ҆кова̑ѧ содѣва́хъ; и҆ не по досто́инствꙋ и҆стѧза́ мѧ, ѡ҆ ни́хже согрѣши́хъ:

27 He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.

28 спасѝ дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀, є҆́же не вни́ти во и҆стлѣ́нїе, и҆ жи́знь моѧ̀ свѣ́тъ ᲂу҆́зритъ.

28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life will see the light.’

29 Сѐ, сїѧ̑ всѧ̑ твори́тъ крѣ́пкїй (бг҃ъ) пꙋти̑ трѝ съ мꙋ́жемъ:

29 “Behold, God does all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,

30 но и҆зба́ви дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀ ѿ сме́рти, да живо́тъ мо́й во свѣ́тѣ хва́литъ є҆го̀.

30 to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

31 Внима́й, і҆́ѡве, и҆ послꙋ́шай менѐ, премолчѝ, и҆ а҆́зъ возглаго́лю:

31 Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.

32 и҆ а҆́ще тебѣ̀ сꙋ́ть словеса̀, ѿвѣща́й мѝ: глаго́ли, хощꙋ́ бо ѡ҆правди́тисѧ тебѣ̀:

32 If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.

33 а҆́ще же нѝ, ты̀ послꙋ́шай менѐ, ᲂу҆молчѝ, и҆ наꙋчꙋ́ тѧ премꙋ́дрости.

33 If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”

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).

Job, too, says, The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
