Judith 14 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 речѐ къ ни̑мъ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ: послꙋ́шайте ᲂу҆̀бо менѐ, бра́тїѧ, и҆ взе́мше главꙋ̀ сїю̀ повѣ́сите ю҆̀ на забра́лѣ стѣны̀ ва́шеѧ:
1 Judith said to them, “Hear me now, my kindred, and take this head, and hang it upon the battlement of your wall.
2 и҆ бꙋ́детъ є҆гда̀ возсїѧ́етъ ᲂу҆́тро, и҆ взы́детъ со́лнце на зе́млю, прїи́мете ко́ждо ѻ҆рꙋ̑дїѧ бра̑ннаѧ ва̑ша, и҆ и҆зы́дете всѧ́къ мꙋ́жъ си́льный внѣ̀ гра́да, и҆ дади́те воево́дꙋ над̾ ни́ми, а҆́ки сходѧ́ще на по́ле ко пе́рвѣй стра́жи сынѡ́въ а҆ссꙋ́ровыхъ, и҆ не сни́дете:
2 It will be, so soon as the morning appears, and the sun comes up on the earth, you shall each take up his weapons of war, and every valiant man of you go out of the city. You shall set a captain over them, as though you would go down to the plain toward the watch of the children of Asshur; but you men shall not go down.
3 и҆ взе́мше сі́и всеѻрꙋ̑жїѧ своѧ̑, по́йдꙋтъ ко ѡ҆полче́нїю своемꙋ̀, и҆ возбꙋ́дѧтъ воевѡ́ды си́лы а҆ссꙋ́ровы, и҆ стекꙋ́тсѧ ко шатрꙋ̀ ѻ҆лофе́рновꙋ, и҆ не ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ нападе́тъ на ни́хъ стра́хъ, и҆ побѣ́гнꙋтъ ѿ лица̀ ва́шегѡ:
3 These will take up their full armor, and shall go into their camp and rouse up the captains of the army of Asshur. They will run together to Holofernes’ tent. They won’t find him. Fear will fall upon them, and they will flee before your face.
4 и҆ возслѣ́довавшїи ва́мъ, и҆ всѝ живꙋ́щїи во все́мъ предѣ́лѣ і҆и҃льстѣмъ, постила́йте ѧ҆̀ по пꙋтє́мъ и҆́хъ:
4 You men, and all that inhabit every border of Israel, shall pursue them and overthrow them as they go.
5 пре́жде же є҆́же сотвори́ти сїѧ̑, призови́те мнѣ̀ а҆хїѡ́ра а҆ммані́тина, да ви́дѣвъ позна́етъ ᲂу҆ничтожа́ющаго до́мъ і҆и҃левъ, и҆ сего̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ на сме́рть по́сланнаго къ на́мъ.
5 But before you do these things, summon Achior the Ammonite to me, that he may see and know him that despised the house of Israel, and that sent him to us, as it were to death.
6 И҆ призва́ша а҆хїѡ́ра и҆з̾ до́мꙋ ѻ҆зі́ина. Є҆гда́ же прїи́де и҆ ви́дѣ главꙋ̀ ѻ҆лофе́рновꙋ въ рꙋцѣ̀ мꙋ́жа є҆ди́нагѡ въ собра́нїи люді́й, падѐ на лицѐ, и҆ разсла́бисѧ дꙋ́хъ є҆гѡ̀.
6 And they called Achior out of the house of Ozias; but when he came, and saw the head of Holofernes in a man’s hand in the assembly of the people, he fell upon his face, and his spirit failed.
7 Є҆гда́ же под̾ѧ́ша є҆го̀, припадѐ къ нога́ма і҆ꙋді́ѳы, и҆ поклони́сѧ лицꙋ̀ є҆ѧ̀, и҆ речѐ: благослове́на ты̀ во всѧ́цѣмъ селе́нїи і҆ꙋ́динѣ и҆ во всѧ́цѣмъ ꙗ҆зы́цѣ, и҆̀же ᲂу҆слы́шавше и҆́мѧ твоѐ смѧтꙋ́тсѧ:
7 But when they had recovered him, he fell at Judith’s feet, bowed down to her, and said, “Blessed are you in every tent of Judah! In every nation, those who hear your name will be troubled.
8 и҆ нн҃ѣ возвѣсти́ ми, є҆ли̑ка сотвори́ла є҆сѝ во дне́хъ си́хъ. И҆ возвѣстѝ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ посредѣ̀ люді́й всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сотворѝ, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ и҆зы́де, до́ндеже глаго́лаше и҆̀мъ.
8 Now tell me all the things that you have done in these days.” And Judith declared to him in the midst of the people all the things that she had done, from the day that she went out until the time that she spoke to them.
9 Є҆гда́ же преста̀ глаго́лющи, воскли́кнꙋша лю́дїе гла́сомъ вели́кимъ и҆ дадо́ша гла́съ весе́лый во гра́дѣ свое́мъ.
9 But when she finished speaking, the people shouted with a loud voice, and made a joyful noise in their city.
10 Ви́дѣвъ же а҆хїѡ́ръ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сотворѝ бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ, вѣ́рова бг҃ꙋ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́за пло́ть кра́йнюю свою̀, и҆ приложи́сѧ къ до́мꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ да́же до днѐ сегѡ̀.
10 But when Achior saw all the things that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God exceedingly, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined to the house of Israel, to this day.
11 Є҆гда́ же денни́ца взы́де, свѣ́сиша главꙋ̀ ѻ҆лофе́рновꙋ со стѣны̀: и҆ воспрїѧ́тъ всѧ́къ мꙋ́жъ і҆и҃левъ ѻ҆рꙋ̑жїѧ своѧ̑, и҆ и҆зыдо́ша полка́ми на восхо́ды горы̀.
11 But as soon as the morning arose, they hanged the head of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took up his weapons, and they went forth by bands to the ascents of the mountain.
12 Сы́нове же а҆ссꙋ́рѡвы, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆ви́дѣша и҆̀хъ, разосла́ша къ вождє́мъ свои̑мъ: ѻ҆ни́ же прїидо́ша къ воево́дамъ и҆ ты́сѧщникѡмъ и҆ ко всѧ́комꙋ кнѧ́зю своемꙋ̀,
12 But when the children of Asshur saw them, they sent word to their leaders, and they went to their captains and tribunes, and to every one of their rulers.
13 и҆ прїидо́ша къ шатрꙋ̀ ѻ҆лофе́рновꙋ, и҆ рѣ́ша сꙋ́щемꙋ над̾ всѣ́ми є҆гѡ̀: возбꙋдѝ ᲂу҆̀бо господи́на на́шего, занѐ дерзнꙋ́ша рабѝ сходи́ти къ на́мъ на бра́нь, да и҆стребѧ́тсѧ въ коне́цъ.
13 They came to Holofernes’ tent, and said to him that was over all that he had, “Wake our lord up, now, for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, that they may be utterly destroyed.”
14 И҆ вни́де вагѡ́а и҆ толкнꙋ̀ во дво́ръ шатра̀, мнѧ́ше бо спа́ти є҆го̀ со і҆ꙋді́ѳою.
14 Bagoas went in, and knocked at the outer door of the tent; for he supposed that Holofernes was sleeping with Judith.
15 Є҆гда́ же никто́же послꙋ́шаше, раствори́въ вни́де въ ло́жницꙋ и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те є҆го̀ при пра́зѣ пове́ржена ме́ртва, и҆ глава̀ є҆гѡ̀ ѿѧ́та бы́сть ѿ негѡ̀:
15 But when no one answered, he opened it, went into the bedchamber, and found him cast upon the threshold dead; and his head had been taken from him.
16 и҆ возопѝ гла́сомъ вели́кимъ съ пла́чемъ и҆ стена́нїемъ и҆ во́племъ крѣ́пкимъ, и҆ раздра̀ ри̑зы своѧ̑:
16 He cried with a loud voice, with weeping, groaning, and shouting, and tore his garments.
17 и҆ вни́де въ шате́ръ, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ ѡ҆бита́ющи, и҆ не ѡ҆брѣ́те є҆ѧ̀, и҆ и҆зскочѝ къ лю́демъ и҆ возопѝ:
17 He entered into the tent where Judith lodged, and he didn’t find her. He leaped out to the people, and cried aloud,
18 ѿверго́шасѧ рабѝ, сотворѝ стꙋ́дъ є҆ди́на жена̀ є҆вре́йскаѧ на до́мъ царѧ̀ навꙋходоно́сора: занѐ сѐ, ѻ҆лофе́рнъ до́лꙋ, и҆ главы̀ нѣ́сть на не́мъ.
18 “The slaves have dealt treacherously! One woman of the Hebrews has brought shame upon the house of King Nebuchadnezzar; for, behold, Holofernes lies upon the ground, and his head is not on him!”
19 Є҆гда́ же ᲂу҆слы́шаша сїѧ̑ глаго́лы кнѧ́зїе си́лы а҆ссꙋ́ровы, раздра́ша ри̑зы своѧ̑, и҆ смѧте́сѧ дꙋша̀ и҆́хъ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ бы́сть и҆́хъ кри́къ и҆ во́пль ѕѣлѡ̀ посредѣ̀ полка̀.
19 But when the rulers of the army of Asshur heard this, they tore their tunics, and their souls were troubled exceedingly. There were cries and an exceedingly great noise in the midst of the camp.
