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 ѡ҆бꙋ́тренева і҆ероваа́лъ, се́й є҆́сть гедеѡ́нъ, и҆ всѝ лю́дїе и҆̀же съ ни́мъ, и҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ ᲂу҆ и҆сто́чника а҆ра́дъ: и҆ по́лкъ мадїа́мль и҆ а҆мали́ковъ бѧ́ше є҆мꙋ̀ съ сѣ́вера на хо́лмѣ мѡсѐ гаваа́ѳъ-а҆мѡрѐ въ доли́нѣ.
1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early and encamped beside the spring of Harod. Midian’s camp was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
2 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ гедеѡ́нꙋ: мно́зи лю́дїе и҆̀же съ тобо́ю, сегѡ̀ ра́ди не преда́мъ мадїа́ма въ рꙋ́кꙋ и҆́хъ, да не когда̀ похва́литсѧ і҆и҃ль на мѧ̀, глаго́лѧ: рꙋка̀ моѧ̀ спасе́ мѧ:
2 Yahweh said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel brag against me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’
3 и҆ нн҃ѣ рцы̀ во ᲂу҆́шы лю́демъ, глаго́лѧ: кто̀ боѧзли́въ и҆ ᲂу҆жа́стивъ, да возврати́тсѧ и҆ да ѿи́детъ ѿ горы̀ галаа́довы. И҆ возврати́шасѧ ѿ люді́й два́десѧть двѣ̀ ты́сѧщы, и҆ де́сѧть ты́сѧщъ ѡ҆ста́шасѧ.
3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.
4 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ гедеѡ́нꙋ: є҆щѐ лю́дїе мно́зи сꙋ́ть: сведѝ ѧ҆̀ на во́дꙋ, и҆ и҆скꙋшꙋ̀ тебѣ̀ и҆̀хъ та́мѡ: и҆ бꙋ́детъ є҆го́же а҆́ще рекꙋ̀ тебѣ̀, се́й да и҆́детъ съ тобо́ю, то́й да по́йдетъ съ тобо́ю: и҆ всѧ́къ є҆го́же а҆́ще рекꙋ̀ тебѣ̀, се́й да не по́йдетъ съ тобо́ю, то́й да не по́йдетъ съ тобо́ю.
4 Yahweh said to Gideon, “There are still too many people. Bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. It shall be, that those whom I tell you, ‘This shall go with you,’ shall go with you; and whoever I tell you, ‘This shall not go with you,’ shall not go.”
5 И҆ сведѐ лю́ди на во́дꙋ, и҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ гедеѡ́нꙋ: всѧ́къ и҆́же поло́четъ ѧ҆зы́комъ свои́мъ ѿ воды̀, ꙗ҆́коже ло́четъ пе́съ, да поста́виши є҆го̀ ѡ҆со́бь: и҆ всѧ́къ и҆́же на кѡлѣ́нꙋ паде́тъ пи́ти, ѿлꙋчѝ є҆го̀ ѡ҆со́бь.
5 So he brought down the people to the water; and Yahweh said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, like a dog laps, you shall set him by himself; likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink.”
6 И҆ бы́сть число̀ въ го́рстехъ лока́вшихъ ѧ҆зы́комъ три́ста мꙋже́й: и҆ всѝ ѡ҆ста́вшїи лю́дїе преклони́шасѧ на кѡлѣ́на своѧ̑ пи́ти во́дꙋ.
6 The number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water.
7 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ гедеѡ́нꙋ: тремѝ сты̑ мꙋже́й лока́вшими во́дꙋ спасꙋ̀ ва́съ, и҆ преда́мъ мадїа́ма въ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀: и҆ всѝ лю́дїе да по́йдꙋтъ, кі́йждо на мѣ́сто своѐ.
7 Yahweh said to Gideon, “I will save you by the three hundred men who lapped, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, each to his own place.”
8 И҆ взѧ́ша себѣ̀ бра́шно ѿ люді́й въ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ и҆ ро́ги своѧ̑: и҆ всѧ́каго мꙋ́жа і҆и҃льтеска ѿпꙋстѝ коего́ждо въ кꙋ́щꙋ свою̀, а҆ три́ста мꙋже́й ᲂу҆держа̀: по́лкъ же мадїа́мль бѧ́ше ни́же є҆гѡ̀ въ доли́нѣ.
8 So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of the men of Israel to their own tents, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
9 И҆ бы́сть въ тꙋ̀ но́щь, и҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь: воста́въ сни́ди ѿсю́дꙋ ско́рѡ въ по́лкъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ преда́хъ и҆̀хъ въ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀:
9 That same night, Yahweh said to him, “Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 и҆ а҆́ще бои́шисѧ ты̀ сни́ти, сни́ди ты̀ и҆ фара̀ ра́бъ тво́й въ по́лкъ,
10 But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp.
11 и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шиши, что̀ возглаго́лютъ: и҆ по се́мъ ᲂу҆крѣпѧ́тсѧ рꙋ́цѣ твоѝ, и҆ сни́деши въ по́лкъ. И҆ сни́де са́мъ и҆ фара̀ ра́бъ є҆гѡ̀ въ ча́сть пѧтьдесѧ́тникѡвъ, и҆̀же бы́ша въ полцѣ̀.
11 You will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened to go down into the camp.” Then went he down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
12 И҆ мадїа́мъ и҆ а҆мали́къ и҆ всѝ сы́нове восто́кѡвъ стоѧ́хꙋ въ доли́нѣ ꙗ҆́кѡ прꙋ́зи мно́жествомъ, и҆ вельблю́дѡмъ и҆́хъ не бѧ́ше числа̀, но бѧ́хꙋ ꙗ҆́кѡ песо́къ на краѝ морстѣ́мъ мно́жествомъ.
12 The Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is on the seashore for multitude.
13 И҆ вни́де гедеѡ́нъ, и҆ сѐ, мꙋ́жъ повѣ́даше со́нъ по́дрꙋгꙋ своемꙋ̀, и҆ речѐ: се́й со́нъ є҆го́же ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сѐ, тѣ́сто хлѣ́ба ꙗ҆́чна валѧ́ющеесѧ въ полцѣ̀ мадїа́мли, и҆ привали́сѧ къ кꙋ́щи мадїа́мли, и҆ побѝ ю҆̀, и҆ превратѝ ю҆̀, и҆ падѐ кꙋ́ща.
13 When Gideon had come, behold, there was a man telling a dream to his fellow. He said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream; and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.”
14 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ по́дрꙋгъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ речѐ: нѣ́сть (сїѐ тѣ́сто), но ме́чь гедеѡ́на сы́на і҆ѡа́сова мꙋ́жа і҆и҃лева: предадѐ бг҃ъ въ рꙋ́кꙋ є҆гѡ̀ мадїа́ма и҆ ве́сь по́лкъ.
14 His fellow answered, “This is nothing other than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. God has delivered Midian into his hand, with all the army.”
15 И҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆слы́ша гедеѡ́нъ повѣ́данїе сна̀ и҆ разсꙋжде́нїе є҆гѡ̀, и҆ поклони́сѧ гдⷭ҇еви, и҆ возврати́сѧ въ по́лкъ і҆и҃левъ и҆ речѐ: воста́ните, ꙗ҆́кѡ предадѐ гдⷭ҇ь въ рꙋ́ки на́шѧ по́лкъ мадїа́мль.
15 It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshiped. Then he returned into the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for Yahweh has delivered the army of Midian into your hand!”
16 И҆ раздѣлѝ три́ста мꙋже́й на трѝ нача̑льства, и҆ вдадѐ ро́ги въ рꙋ́цѣ всѣ̑мъ, и҆ водоно́сы тщы̀, и҆ свѣщы̀ средѣ̀ водоно́сѡвъ,
16 He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
17 и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: менѐ смотри́те, и҆ та́кожде твори́те: и҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ вни́дꙋ въ ча́сть полка̀, и҆ бꙋ́детъ ꙗ҆́коже сотворю̀, та́кожде сотвори́те:
17 He said to them, “Watch me, and do likewise. Behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do.
18 и҆ а҆́зъ вострꙋблю̀ ро́гомъ, и҆ всѝ и҆̀же со мно́ю, да вострꙋ́бите и҆ вы̀ въ ро́ги ѡ҆́крестъ всегѡ̀ полка̀, и҆ да рече́те: (ме́чь) бг҃ꙋ и҆ гедеѡ́нꙋ.
18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and shout, ‘For Yahweh and for Gideon!’”
19 И҆ вни́де гедеѡ́нъ и҆ сто̀ мꙋже́й и҆̀же съ ни́мъ въ ча́сть полка̀ въ нача́лѣ стра́жи сре́днїѧ: и҆ ᲂу҆бꙋже́нїемъ возбꙋди́ша стрегꙋ́щихъ, и҆ вострꙋби́ша въ ро́ги, и҆ срази́ша водоно́сы и҆̀же въ рꙋка́хъ и҆́хъ.
19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch. Then they blew the trumpets and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
20 И҆ вострꙋби́ша трѝ нача̑льства въ ро́ги и҆ сокрꙋши́ша водоно́сы, и҆ ᲂу҆держа́ша въ лѣ́выхъ рꙋка́хъ свои́хъ свѣщы̀, и҆ въ десны́хъ рꙋка́хъ и҆́хъ ро́ги, въ нѧ́же трꙋби́ти: и҆ возопи́ша: ме́чь гдⷭ҇еви и҆ гедеѡ́нꙋ.
20 The three companies blew the trumpets, broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they shouted, “The sword of Yahweh and of Gideon!”
21 И҆ ста́ша кі́йждо ѡ҆ себѣ̀ ѡ҆́крестъ полка̀: и҆ смѧте́сѧ ве́сь по́лкъ, и҆ возопи́ша, и҆ побѣго́ша.
21 They each stood in his place around the camp, and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
22 И҆ вострꙋби́ша въ три́ста рогѡ́въ: и҆ положѝ гдⷭ҇ь ме́чь мꙋ́жа на по́дрꙋга є҆гѡ̀ во все́мъ полцѣ̀, и҆ пробѣжѐ по́лкъ до виѳасе́тта, и҆ собра́сѧ до страны̀ а҆велмаꙋ́ла и҆ къ тава́ѳꙋ.
22 They blew the three hundred trumpets, and Yahweh set every man’s sword against his fellow and against all the army; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
23 И҆ возопи́ша мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃льтестїи ѿ нефѳалі́ма и҆ ѿ а҆си́ра и҆ ѿ всегѡ̀ манассі́и, и҆ погна́ша в̾слѣ́дъ мадїа́ма.
23 The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued Midian.
24 И҆ посла̀ послы̀ гедеѡ́нъ во всю̀ го́рꙋ є҆фре́млю, глаго́лѧ: сни́дите во срѣ́тенїе мадїа́мꙋ и҆ ᲂу҆держи́те и҆̀мъ во́дꙋ до веѳира̀ и҆ і҆ѻрда́на. И҆ воззва̀ всѧ́къ мꙋ́жъ є҆фре́мль, и҆ пред̾ѿѧ́ша во́дꙋ до веѳира̀ и҆ і҆ѻрда́на,
24 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against Midian and take the waters before them as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan!” So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together and took the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.
25 и҆ ꙗ҆́ша два̀ кнѧ̑зѧ мадїа̑млѧ, ѡ҆ри́ва и҆ зи́ва: и҆ ᲂу҆би́ша ѡ҆ри́ва въ сꙋ́рѣ, и҆ зи́ва ᲂу҆би́ша во і҆акефзи́вѣ: и҆ погна́ша мадїа́ма, и҆ главꙋ̀ ѡ҆ри́ва и҆ зи́ва принесо́ша къ гедеѡ́нꙋ ѿ ѻ҆́ноѧ страны̀ і҆ѻрда́на.
25 They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at Oreb’s rock, and Zeeb they killed at Zeeb’s wine press, as they pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
