Judith 12 Church Slavonic Bible (Elizabeth Bible)
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 повелѣ̀ ввестѝ ю҆̀, и҆дѣ́же положе́ни бы́ша сосꙋ́ди сре́брѧнїи є҆гѡ̀, и҆ повелѣ̀ ᲂу҆гото́вити є҆́й ѿ пи́щей ᲂу҆строева́емыхъ себѣ̀ и҆ ѿ вїна̀ своегѡ̀ пи́ти.
1 He commanded that she should be brought in where his silver vessels were set, and asked that his servants should prepare some of his own delicacies for her, and that she should drink from his own wine.
2 И҆ речѐ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ: не снѣ́мъ ѿ ни́хъ, да не бꙋ́детъ собла́знъ, но ѿ принесе́нныхъ со мно́ю мнѣ̀ подава́емо да бꙋ́детъ.
2 And Judith said, “I can’t eat of it, lest there be an occasion of stumbling; but provision will be made for me from the things that have come with me.”
3 И҆ речѐ къ не́й ѻ҆лофе́рнъ: а҆́ще же ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ютъ сꙋ̑щаѧ съ тобо́ю, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ принесе́мъ тебѣ̀ дава́ти подѡ́бнаѧ си̑мъ; нѣ́сть бо съ на́ми ѿ ро́да твоегѡ̀.
3 And Holofernes said to her, “But if the things that are with you should run out, from where will we be able to give you more like it? For there is none of your race with us.”
4 И҆ речѐ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ къ немꙋ̀: жива̀ є҆́сть дꙋша̀ твоѧ̀, господи́не мо́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆ждиве́тъ раба̀ твоѧ̀ сꙋ́щихъ со мно́ю, до́ндеже сотвори́тъ гдⷭ҇ь рꙋко́ю мое́ю, ꙗ҆̀же ᲂу҆ста́ви.
4 And Judith said to him, “As your soul lives, my lord, your servant will not use up those things that are with me until the Lord works by my hand the things that he has determined.”
5 И҆ ведо́ша ю҆̀ ѻ҆́троцы ѻ҆лофе́рнѡвы въ шате́ръ, и҆ спа̀ да́же до полꙋ́нощи: и҆ воста̀ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆́тренней стра́жи
5 Then Holofernes’ servants brought her into the tent, and she slept until midnight. Then she rose up toward the morning watch,
6 и҆ посла̀ ко ѻ҆лофе́рнꙋ, глаго́лющи: да повели́тъ ᲂу҆̀бо господи́нъ мо́й пꙋща́ти рабꙋ̀ твою̀ на моли́твꙋ и҆сходи́ти.
6 and sent to Holofernes, saying, “Let my lord now command that they allow your servant to go out to pray.”
7 И҆ повелѣ̀ ѻ҆лофе́рнъ тѣлохрани́телємъ не возбранѧ́ти є҆́й. И҆ пребы́сть въ полкꙋ̀ дни̑ трѝ: и҆ и҆схожда́ше въ нощѝ въ де́брь ветѷлꙋ́и и҆ ᲂу҆мыва́шесѧ во ѡ҆полче́нїи во и҆сто́чницѣ воды̀,
7 Holofernes commanded his guards that they should not stop her. She stayed in the camp three days, and went out every night into the valley of Bethulia and washed herself at the fountain of water in the camp.
8 и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ взы́де, молѧ́шесѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ, да ᲂу҆пра́витъ пꙋ́ть є҆ѧ̀ ко возставле́нїю сынѡ́въ люді́й свои́хъ:
8 And when she came up, she implored the Lord God of Israel to direct her way to the triumph of the children of his people.
9 и҆ входѧ́щи чиста̀ пребыва́ше въ шатрѣ̀, доне́лиже приноша́ше пи́щꙋ свою̀ ко ве́черꙋ.
9 She came in clean and remained in the tent until she ate her food toward evening.
10 И҆ бы́сть въ де́нь четве́ртый, сотворѝ ѻ҆лофе́рнъ пи́ръ рабѡ́мъ свои̑мъ є҆ди̑нымъ, и҆ не призва̀ въ послꙋже́нїе ни є҆ди́нагѡ ѿ сꙋ́щихъ при слꙋ́жбахъ,
10 It came to pass on the fourth day, that Holofernes made a feast for his own servants only, and called none of the officers to the banquet.
11 и҆ речѐ вагѡ́ю є҆ѵнꙋ́хꙋ, и҆́же бѧ́ше приста́вникъ над̾ всѣ́ми сꙋ́щими є҆гѡ̀: ше́дъ ᲂу҆̀бо ᲂу҆вѣща́й женꙋ̀ є҆вре́иню, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть ᲂу҆ тебє̀, є҆́же прїитѝ къ на́мъ и҆ ꙗ҆́сти и҆ пи́ти съ на́ми:
11 And he said to Bagoas the eunuch, who had charge over all that he had, “Go now, and persuade this Hebrew woman who is with you that she come to us, and eat and drink with us.
12 се́ бо, стꙋ́дно лицꙋ̀ на́шемꙋ, а҆́ще женꙋ̀ сицевꙋ́ю ѡ҆ста́вимъ не бесѣ́довавше съ не́ю, занѐ а҆́ще сеѧ̀ не призове́мъ, посмѣе́тсѧ на́мъ.
12 For behold, it would be a disgrace if we shall let such a woman go, not having had her company; for if we don’t draw her to ourselves, she will laugh us to scorn.”
13 И҆ и҆зы́де вагѡ́а ѿ лица̀ ѻ҆лофе́рнова и҆ вни́де къ не́й и҆ речѐ: да не ѡ҆блѣни́тсѧ ᲂу҆̀бо ѻ҆трокови́ца до́браѧ сїѧ̀, прише́дши ко господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀, просла́витисѧ пред̾ лице́мъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ пи́ти съ на́ми въ весе́лїе вїно̀ и҆ бы́ти въ де́нь се́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ дщѝ є҆ди́на ѿ сынѡ́въ а҆ссꙋ́ровыхъ, ꙗ҆́же предстоѧ́тъ въ домꙋ̀ навꙋходоно́соровѣ.
13 Bagoas went from the presence of Holofernes, and came in to her, and said, “Let this fair lady not fear to come to my lord, and to be honored in his presence, and to drink wine and be merry with us, and to be made this day as one of the daughters of the children of Asshur who serve in Nebuchadnezzar’s palace.”
14 И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ: и҆ кто̀ є҆́смь а҆́зъ противоглаго́лющи господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀; занѐ всѐ, є҆́же бꙋ́детъ пред̾ ѻ҆чесы̀ є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆го́дно, потща́вшисѧ сотворю̀, и҆ бꙋ́детъ сїѐ мѝ ра́дованїе да́же до днѐ сме́рти моеѧ̀.
14 Judith said to him, “Who am I, that I should contradict my lord? For whatever would be pleasing in his eyes, I will do speedily, and this will be my joy to the day of my death.”
15 И҆ воста́вши ᲂу҆краси́сѧ ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїемъ и҆ всѧ́кимъ ᲂу҆краше́нїемъ же́нскимъ: и҆ прїи́де раба̀ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ постла̀ є҆́й пред̾ ѻ҆лофе́рномъ до́лꙋ ковры̀, и҆̀хже взѧ̀ ѿ вагѡ́и ко повседне́вномꙋ ᲂу҆потребле́нїю своемꙋ̀, во є҆́же ꙗ҆́сти возле́гшей на ни́хъ:
15 She arose, and decked herself with her apparel and all her woman’s attire; and her servant went and laid fleeces on the ground for her next to Holofernes, which she had received from Bagoas for her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them.
16 и҆ вше́дши возлежѐ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ. И҆ и҆зстꙋпѝ се́рдце ѻ҆лофе́рново ѡ҆ не́й, и҆ подви́жесѧ дꙋша̀ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ бѧ́ше жела́теленъ ѕѣлѡ̀, є҆́же сни́тисѧ съ не́ю, и҆ ᲂу҆смотрева́ше вре́мене, є҆́же ѡ҆больсти́ти ю҆̀, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ ви́дѣ ю҆̀:
16 Judith came in and sat down, and Holofernes’ heart was ravished with her. His passion was aroused, and he exceedingly desired her company. He was watching for a time to deceive her from the day that he had seen her.
17 и҆ речѐ къ не́й ѻ҆лофе́рнъ: пі́й ᲂу҆̀бо и҆ бꙋ́ди съ на́ми въ весе́лїи.
17 Holofernes said to her, “Drink now, and be merry with us.”
18 И҆ речѐ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ: бꙋ́дꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо пи́ти, господи́не, ꙗ҆́кѡ возвели́чисѧ живо́тъ мо́й во мнѣ̀ дне́сь па́че всѣ́хъ дні́й рожде́нїѧ моегѡ̀.
18 Judith said, “I will drink now, my lord, because my life is magnified in me this day more than all the days since I was born.”
19 И҆ взе́мши ꙗ҆дѐ и҆ пѝ пред̾ ни́мъ, ꙗ҆̀же ᲂу҆гото́ва раба̀ є҆ѧ̀.
19 Then she took and ate and drank before him what her servant had prepared.
20 И҆ возвесели́сѧ ѻ҆лофе́рнъ ѡ҆ не́й и҆ пѝ вїна̀ мно́гѡ ѕѣлѡ̀, є҆ли́кѡ не пѝ никогда́же въ де́нь є҆ди́нъ, ѿне́лиже роди́сѧ.
20 Holofernes took great delight in her, and drank exceedingly much wine, more than he had drunk at any time in one day since he was born.
