Judith 13 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 Є҆гда́ же по́здѣ бы́сть, потща́шасѧ рабѝ є҆гѡ̀ ѿитѝ, и҆ вагѡ́а заключѝ шате́ръ ѿвнѣ̀ и҆ ѿпꙋстѝ предстоѧ́щихъ ѿ лица̀ господи́на своегѡ̀, и҆ ѿидо́ша къ ло́жамъ свои̑мъ, бѧ́хꙋ бо всѝ ᲂу҆трꙋжде́ни, занѐ на мно́зѣ пребы́сть пи́ръ.
1 But when the evening had come, his servants hurried to depart. Bagoas shut the tent outside, and dismissed those who waited from the presence of his lord. They went away to their beds; for they were all weary, because the feast had been long.
2 Ѡ҆ста́сѧ же і҆ꙋді́ѳъ є҆ди́на въ шатрѣ̀, и҆ ѻ҆лофе́рнъ пове́рженъ на ло́жи свое́мъ: бѧ́ше бо преиспо́лненъ вїно́мъ.
2 But Judith was left alone in the tent, with Holofernes lying along upon his bed; for he was drunk with wine.
3 И҆ речѐ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ рабѣ̀ свое́й, да стои́тъ внѣ̀ ло́жницы є҆ѧ̀ и҆ да смо́тритъ и҆схо́да є҆ѧ̀ ꙗ҆́коже по всѧ́къ де́нь: рече́ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆зы́ти и҆́мать на моли́твꙋ свою̀: и҆ вагѡ́ю глаго́ла по словесє́мъ си̑мъ.
3 Judith had said to her servant that she should stand outside her bedchamber, and wait for her to come out, as she did daily; for she said she would go out to her prayer. She spoke to Bagoas according to the same words.
4 И҆ ѿидо́ша всѝ ѿ лица̀ є҆ѧ̀, и҆ ни є҆ди́нъ ѡ҆ста́сѧ въ ло́жницѣ ѿ ма́ла да́же до вели́ка. И҆ ста́вши і҆ꙋді́ѳъ при ѻ҆дрѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, речѐ въ се́рдцы свое́мъ: гдⷭ҇и, бж҃е всеѧ̀ си́лы, при́зри въ ча́съ се́й на дѣла̀ рꙋ́къ мои́хъ ко возвыше́нїю і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма,
4 All went away from her presence, and none was left in the bedchamber, small or great. Judith, standing by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look in this hour upon the works of my hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.
5 ꙗ҆́кѡ нн҃ѣ вре́мѧ помоществова́ти наслѣ́дїю твоемꙋ̀ и҆ соверши́ти начина́нїе моѐ ко сокрꙋше́нїю врагѡ́въ, и҆̀же воста́ша на на́съ.
5 For now is the time to help your inheritance, and to do the thing that I have purposed to the destruction of the enemies which have risen up against us.
6 И҆ пристꙋпи́вши къ сто́лпникꙋ ѻ҆дра̀, и҆́же бѧ́ше ᲂу҆ главы̀ ѻ҆лофе́рновы, снѧ́тъ ме́чь є҆гѡ̀ съ негѡ̀,
6 She came to the bedpost which was at Holofernes’ head, and took down his sword from there.
7 и҆ прибли́жившисѧ ко ѻ҆дрꙋ̀, взѧ̀ въ го́рсть власы̀ главы̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ речѐ: ᲂу҆крѣпи́ мѧ, гдⷭ҇и бж҃е і҆и҃левъ, въ де́нь се́й.
7 She drew near to the bed, took hold of the hair of his head, and said, “Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, this day.”
8 И҆ ᲂу҆да́ри въ вы́ю є҆гѡ̀ два́жды си́лою свое́ю, и҆ ѿѧ̀ главꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ ѿ негѡ̀,
8 She struck twice upon his neck with all her might and cut off his head,
9 и҆ ѿвалѝ тѣ́ло є҆гѡ̀ ѿ посте́ли, и҆ ѿѧ̀ завѣ́сꙋ ѿ столпѡ́въ: и҆ по ма́лѣ и҆зы́де и҆ предадѐ рабы́ни свое́й главꙋ̀ ѻ҆лофе́рновꙋ:
9 tumbled his body down from the bed, and took down the canopy from the posts. After a little while she went out, and gave Holofernes’ head to her maid;
10 и҆ вложѝ ю҆̀ въ мѣше́цъ снѣ́дей свои́хъ. И҆ и҆зыдо́стѣ ѻ҆́бѣ кꙋ́пнѡ по ѡ҆бы́чаю своемꙋ̀ на моли́твꙋ: и҆ проше́дшѣ по́лкъ, ѡ҆быдо́стѣ де́брь ѻ҆́нꙋю, и҆ взыдо́стѣ на го́рꙋ ветѷлꙋ́и, и҆ прїидо́стѣ ко вратѡ́мъ є҆ѧ̀.
10 and she put it in her bag of food. They both went out together to prayer, according to their custom. They passed through the camp, circled around that valley, and went up to the mountain of Bethulia, and came to its gates.
11 И҆ речѐ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ и҆здале́ча стрегꙋ́щымъ на вратѣ́хъ: ѿве́рзите нн҃ѣ, ѿве́рзите врата̀, съ на́ми бг҃ъ, бг҃ъ на́шъ, сотвори́ти є҆щѐ крѣ́пость во і҆и҃ли и҆ си́лꙋ на врагѝ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ дне́сь сотворѝ.
11 Judith said afar off to the watchmen at the gates, “Open, open the gate, now. God is with us, even our God, to show his power yet in Israel, and his might against the enemy, as he has done even this day.”
12 И҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆слы́шаша мꙋ́жїе гра́да тогѡ̀ гла́съ є҆ѧ̀, потща́шасѧ сни́ти ко вратѡ́мъ гра́да своегѡ̀ и҆ созва́ша ста́рцєвъ гра́да.
12 It came to pass, when the men of her city heard her voice, they made haste to go down to the gate of their city, and they called together the elders of the city.
13 И҆ стеко́шасѧ всѝ ѿ ма́ла да́же до вели́ка, ꙗ҆́кѡ па́че ча́ѧнїѧ бѣ̀ и҆̀мъ, є҆́же прїитѝ є҆́й, и҆ ѿверзо́ша врата̀ и҆ воспрїѧ́ша и҆̀хъ: и҆ вже́гше ѻ҆́гнь во свѣще́нїе, ѡ҆крꙋжи́ша и҆̀хъ.
13 They all ran together, both small and great, for it seemed unbelievable to them that she had come. They opened the gate and received them, making a fire to give light, and surrounded them.
14 Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ къ ни̑мъ гла́сомъ вели́кимъ: хвали́те бг҃а, хвали́те: хвали́те бг҃а, и҆́же не ѿста́ви млⷭ҇ти своеѧ̀ ѿ до́мꙋ і҆и҃лева, но сокрꙋшѝ врагѝ на́шѧ рꙋко́ю мое́ю въ но́щь сїю̀.
14 She said to them with a loud voice, “Praise God! Praise him! Praise God, who has not taken away his mercy from the house of Israel, but has destroyed our enemies by my hand tonight!”
15 И҆ и҆з̾е́мши главꙋ̀ и҆з̾ мѣшца̀ показа̀ и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: сѐ, глава̀ ѻ҆лофе́рна вождонача́льника си́лы а҆ссꙋ́рскїѧ, и҆ сѐ, завѣ́са, за не́юже лежа́ше во пїѧ́нствахъ свои́хъ, и҆ поразѝ є҆го̀ гдⷭ҇ь рꙋко́ю же́нскою:
15 Then she took the head out of the bag and showed it, and said to them, “Behold, the head of Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Asshur, and behold, the canopy under which he laid in his drunkenness. The Lord struck him by the hand of a woman.
16 и҆ жи́въ є҆́сть гдⷭ҇ь, и҆́же сохрани́ мѧ въ пꙋтѝ мое́мъ, и҆́мже ходи́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ прельстѝ є҆го̀ лицѐ моѐ въ па́гꙋбꙋ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не сотворѝ грѣха̀ со мно́ю во ѡ҆скверне́нїе и҆ срамотꙋ̀.
16 And as the Lord lives, who preserved me in my way that I went, my countenance deceived him to his destruction, and he didn’t commit sin with me, to defile and shame me.”
17 И҆ ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ всѝ лю́дїе ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ па́дше поклони́шасѧ бг҃ꙋ, и҆ рѣ́ша є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ є҆сѝ, бж҃е на́шъ, ᲂу҆ничто́живый въ де́нь се́й врагѝ люді́й твои́хъ.
17 All the people were exceedingly amazed, and bowed themselves, and worshiped God, and said with one accord, “Blessed are you, O our God, who have this day humiliated the enemies of your people.”
18 И҆ речѐ є҆́й ѻ҆зі́а: блгⷭ҇ве́на ты̀ є҆сѝ, дщѝ, бг҃омъ вы́шнимъ па́че всѣ́хъ же́нъ ꙗ҆̀же на землѝ, и҆ блгⷭ҇ве́нъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, и҆́же созда̀ небеса̀ и҆ зе́млю, и҆́же ᲂу҆пра́ви тѧ̀ на сокрꙋше́нїе главы̀ кнѧ́зѧ врагѡ́въ на́шихъ:
18 Ozias said to her, “Blessed are you, daughter, in the sight of the Most High God, above all the women upon the earth; and blessed is the Lord God, who created the heavens and the earth, who directed you to cut off the head of the prince of our enemies.
19 ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѿста́нетъ наде́жда твоѧ̀ ѿ се́рдца человѣ̑къ, помина́ющихъ крѣ́пость бж҃їю, да́же до вѣ́ка:
19 For your hope will not depart from the heart of men that remember the strength of God forever.
20 и҆ да сотвори́тъ тебѣ̀ сїѧ̑ бг҃ъ въ возноше́нїе вѣ́чное, є҆́же посѣща́ти тѧ̀ во благи́хъ, за є҆́же не пощадѣ́ла є҆сѝ дꙋшѝ твоеѧ̀ смире́нїѧ ра́ди ро́да на́шегѡ, но посо́бствовала є҆сѝ паде́нїю на́шемꙋ, въ правотѣ̀ ходи́вши пред̾ бг҃омъ на́шимъ. И҆ рѣ́ша всѝ лю́дїе: бꙋ́ди, бꙋ́ди.
20 May God turn these things to you for a perpetual praise, to visit you with good things, because you didn’t spare your life by reason of the affliction of our race, but prevented our ruin, walking a straight way before our God.” And all the people said, “Amen! Amen!”
