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 И҆ приложи́ша є҆щѐ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы твори́ти ѕло̀ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ: и҆ предадѐ ѧ҆̀ гдⷭ҇ь въ рꙋ́кꙋ фѷлїсті́мскꙋ четы́редесѧть лѣ́тъ.
1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight; and Yahweh delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2 И҆ бѧ́ше мꙋ́жъ є҆ди́нъ ѿ сараѝ, ѿ пле́мене да́нова, и҆́мѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ манѡ́е: и҆ жена̀ є҆мꙋ̀ бѧ́ше непло́ды и҆ не ражда́ше.
2 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and childless.
3 И҆ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень къ женѣ̀ и҆ речѐ къ не́й: сѐ, ты̀ непло́ды и҆ не ражда́ла є҆сѝ, и҆ зачне́ши и҆ роди́ши сы́на:
3 Yahweh’s angel appeared to the woman, and said to her, “See now, you are barren and childless; but you shall conceive and bear a son.
4 и҆ нн҃ѣ блюди́сѧ, и҆ не пі́й вїна̀ и҆ сїке́ра, и҆ не ꙗ҆́ждь всѧ́кагѡ нечи́стагѡ:
4 Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and don’t eat any unclean thing;
5 ꙗ҆́кѡ сѐ, ты̀ во ᲂу҆тро́бѣ прїи́меши и҆ роди́ши сы́на: и҆ желѣ́зо на главꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ не взы́детъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ назѡре́й бг҃ови бꙋ́детъ сїѐ ѻ҆троча̀ ѿ чре́ва: и҆ се́й на́чнетъ спаса́ти і҆и҃лѧ и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ фѷлїсті́мли.
5 for, behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son. No razor shall come on his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. He shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”
6 И҆ вни́де жена̀ и҆ речѐ мꙋ́жꙋ своемꙋ̀, глаго́лющи: человѣ́къ бж҃їй прїи́де ко мнѣ̀, и҆ ѡ҆́бразъ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆́бразъ а҆́гг҃ла бж҃їѧ, стра́шенъ ѕѣлѡ̀: и҆ вопроша́хъ є҆го̀, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ є҆сѝ; и҆ и҆́мене своегѡ̀ не повѣ́да мѝ,
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A man of God came to me, and his face was like the face of the angel of God, very awesome. I didn’t ask him where he was from, neither did he tell me his name;
7 и҆ речѐ мнѣ̀: сѐ, ты̀ во ᲂу҆тро́бѣ зачне́ши и҆ роди́ши сы́на: и҆ нн҃ѣ не пі́й вїна̀, ни сїке́ра, и҆ не ꙗ҆́ждь всѧ́кагѡ нечи́стагѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ назѡре́й бг҃ꙋ бꙋ́детъ ѻ҆́трочищь ѿ ᲂу҆тро́бы да́же до днѐ сме́рти своеѧ̀.
7 but he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink. Don’t eat any unclean thing, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”
8 И҆ помоли́сѧ манѡ́е ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ и҆ речѐ: во мнѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и, человѣ́къ бж҃їй, є҆го́же посла́лъ є҆сѝ, да прїи́детъ є҆щѐ къ на́мъ и҆ наста́витъ ны̀, что̀ сотвори́мъ ѻ҆троча́ти ражда́ющемꙋсѧ.
8 Then Manoah entreated Yahweh, and said, “Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us, and teach us what we should do to the child who shall be born.”
9 И҆ послꙋ́ша бг҃ъ моли́твы манѡ́евы: и҆ прїи́де па́ки а҆́гг҃лъ бж҃їй къ женѣ̀, сїѧ́ же сѣдѧ́ше на селѣ̀, и҆ манѡ́е мꙋ́жъ є҆ѧ̀ не бѧ́ше съ не́ю.
9 God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field; but Manoah, her husband, wasn’t with her.
10 И҆ потща́сѧ жена̀, и҆ те́кши ско́рѡ повѣ́да мꙋ́жꙋ своемꙋ̀, и҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀: сѐ, ꙗ҆ви́сѧ мнѣ̀ мꙋ́жъ, и҆́же приходи́лъ въ де́нь ѡ҆́нъ ко мнѣ̀.
10 The woman hurried and ran, and told her husband, saying to him, “Behold, the man who came to me that day has appeared to me.”
11 И҆ воста́въ и҆́де манѡ́е в̾слѣ́дъ жены̀ своеѧ̀, и҆ прїи́де къ мꙋ́жꙋ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: ты́ ли є҆сѝ мꙋ́жъ глаго́лавый къ женѣ̀ (мое́й); И҆ речѐ а҆́гг҃лъ: а҆́зъ.
11 Manoah arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” He said, “I am.”
12 И҆ речѐ манѡ́е: нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо да прїи́детъ сло́во твоѐ, кі́й бꙋ́детъ сꙋ́дъ ѻ҆троча́те, и҆ что̀ дѣла̀ є҆гѡ̀;
12 Manoah said, “Now let your words happen. What shall the child’s way of life and mission be?”
13 И҆ речѐ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень къ манѡ́ю: ѿ всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же глаго́лахъ къ женѣ̀, да сохрани́тсѧ:
13 Yahweh’s angel said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
14 ѿ всегѡ̀, є҆́же и҆схо́дитъ и҆з̾ вїногра́да, да не ꙗ҆́стъ, и҆ вїна̀ и҆ сїке́ра да не пїе́тъ, и҆ всѧ́кагѡ нечи́стагѡ да не ꙗ҆́стъ: и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка заповѣ́дахъ є҆́й, да храни́тъ.
14 She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. Let her observe all that I commanded her.”
15 И҆ речѐ манѡ́е ко а҆́гг҃лꙋ гдⷭ҇ню: да ᲂу҆держи́мъ тѧ̀ здѣ̀, и҆ сотвори́мъ пред̾ тобо́ю ко́злище ѿ ко́зъ.
15 Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “Please stay with us, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
16 И҆ речѐ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень къ манѡ́ю: а҆́ще мѧ̀ понꙋ́диши, не бꙋ́дꙋ ꙗ҆́сти хлѣ́ба твоегѡ̀: но а҆́ще сотвори́ши всесожже́нїе гдⷭ҇еви, то̀ вознесѝ є҆̀. Не вѣ́дѧше бо манѡ́е, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень то́й.
16 Yahweh’s angel said to Manoah, “Though you detain me, I won’t eat your bread. If you will prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to Yahweh.” For Manoah didn’t know that he was Yahweh’s angel.
17 И҆ речѐ манѡ́е ко а҆́гг҃лꙋ гдⷭ҇ню: что̀ и҆́мѧ твоѐ; да є҆гда̀ сбꙋ́детсѧ сло́во твоѐ, просла́вимъ тѧ̀.
17 Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?”
18 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень: почто̀ сїѐ вопроша́еши и҆́мене моегѡ̀; и҆ то̀ є҆́сть чꙋ́дно.
18 Yahweh’s angel said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is incomprehensible?”
19 И҆ взѧ̀ манѡ́е ко́злища ѿ ко́зъ и҆ же́ртвꙋ, и҆ вознесѐ на ка́мень гдⷭ҇еви чꙋ̑днаѧ творѧ́щемꙋ: манѡ́е же и҆ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀ зрѧ́ста.
19 So Manoah took the young goat with the meal offering, and offered it on the rock to Yahweh. Then the angel did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.
20 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ пла́мень взы́де вы́ше ѻ҆лтарѧ̀ да́же до небесѐ, и҆ взы́де а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень въ пла́мени ѻ҆лтарѧ̀: манѡ́е же и҆ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀ смотрѧ́ста, и҆ падо́ста лице́мъ свои́мъ на зе́млю.
20 For when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, Yahweh’s angel ascended in the flame of the altar. Manoah and his wife watched; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
21 И҆ не приложѝ ктомꙋ̀ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень ꙗ҆ви́тисѧ манѡ́ю и҆ женѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀. Тогда̀ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣ манѡ́е, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень є҆́сть.
21 But Yahweh’s angel didn’t appear to Manoah or to his wife any more. Then Manoah knew that he was Yahweh’s angel.
22 И҆ речѐ манѡ́е къ женѣ̀ свое́й: сме́ртїю ᲂу҆́мремъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃а ви́дѣхомъ.
22 Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God.”
23 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀: а҆́ще бы хотѣ́лъ гдⷭ҇ь ᲂу҆мертви́ти на́съ, не бы̀ взѧ́лъ ѿ рꙋ́къ на́шихъ всесожже́нїѧ и҆ же́ртвы, и҆ не бы̀ показа́лъ на́мъ си́хъ всѣ́хъ, и҆ не бы̀ слы̑шана сїѧ̑ сотвори́лъ на́мъ ꙗ҆́коже нн҃ѣ.
23 But his wife said to him, “If Yahweh were pleased to kill us, he wouldn’t have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, and he wouldn’t have shown us all these things, nor would he have told us such things as these at this time.”
24 И҆ родѝ жена̀ сы́на, и҆ наречѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ самѱѡ́нъ. И҆ возмꙋжа̀ ѻ҆троча̀, и҆ блгⷭ҇вѝ є҆̀ гдⷭ҇ь:
24 The woman bore a son and named him Samson. The child grew, and Yahweh blessed him.
25 и҆ нача̀ дх҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень ходи́ти съ ни́мъ въ полцѣ̀ да́новѣ, посредѣ̀ сараѝ и҆ посредѣ̀ є҆сѳао́ла.
25 Yahweh’s Spirit began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

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).
… not amazed at Manoah the Judge of yore, and at Peter the disciple in later days; the one being unable to endure the sight even of one in whom was a representation of God; and saying, "We are undone, O wife, we have seen God;" speaking as though even a vision of God could not be grasped by human beings, …
