Judith 3 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 посла́ша къ немꙋ̀ посла́нникѡвъ словесы̀ ми́рными, глаго́люще:
1 And they sent to him messengers with words of peace, saying,
2 сѐ, мы̀ ѻ҆́троцы навꙋходоно́сора царѧ̀ вели́кагѡ поверга́емсѧ пред̾ тобо́ю, ᲂу҆потребѝ на́съ, ꙗ҆́коже ᲂу҆го́дно є҆́сть лицꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀:
2 “Behold, we the servants of Nebuchadnezzar the great king lie before you. Use us as it is pleasing in your sight.
3 сѐ, се́ла на̑ша, и҆ всѧ́кое мѣ́сто на́ше, и҆ всѐ по́ле пшени́цъ, и҆ ѡ҆́вчїѧ и҆ волѡ́выѧ стада̀, и҆ всѧ̑ ѡ҆гра̑ды селе́нїй на́шихъ, сꙋ́ть пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ, ᲂу҆потребѝ, ꙗ҆́коже ᲂу҆го́дно тебѣ̀:
3 Behold, our dwellings, and all our country, and all our fields of wheat, and our flocks and herds, and all the sheepfolds of our tents, lie before your face. Use them as it may please you.
4 сѐ, и҆ гра́ди на́ши, и҆ живꙋ́щїи въ ни́хъ рабѝ твоѝ сꙋ́ть: ше́дъ срѣ́ти и҆̀хъ, ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть бла́го пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма.
4 Behold, even our cities and those who dwell in them are your servants. Come and deal with them as it is good in your eyes.”
5 И҆ прїидо́ша мꙋ́жїе ко ѻ҆лофе́рнꙋ и҆ возвѣсти́ша є҆мꙋ̀ по словесє́мъ си̑мъ.
5 So the men came to Holofernes, and declared to him according to these words.
6 И҆ сни́де на помо́рїе са́мъ и҆ си́ла є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆твердѝ стра́жею гра́ды высѡ́кїѧ и҆ взѧ̀ и҆з̾ ни́хъ на споборе́нїе мꙋже́й и҆збра́нныхъ.
6 He came down toward the sea coast, he and his army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took out of them chosen men for allies.
7 И҆ прїѧ́ша є҆го̀ ті́и и҆ всѧ̑ ѡ҆крє́стнаѧ и҆́хъ съ вѣнца́ми и҆ ли̑ки и҆ тѷмпа̑ны.
7 They received him, they and all the country round about them, with garlands and dances and timbrels.
8 И҆ разорѝ всѧ̑ предѣ́лы и҆́хъ, и҆ дꙋбра̑вы и҆́хъ и҆зсѣчѐ. И҆ бѣ̀ заповѣ́дано є҆мꙋ̀ и҆стреби́ти всѣ́хъ богѡ́въ землѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да самомꙋ̀ є҆ди́номꙋ навꙋходоно́сорꙋ послꙋ́жатъ всѝ ро́ди и҆ всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы, и҆ всѧ̑ племена̀ и҆́хъ да призыва́ютъ є҆го̀ въ бо́га.
8 He cast down all their borders, and cut down their sacred groves. It had been given to him to destroy all the gods of the land, that all the nations would worship Nebuchadnezzar only, and that all their tongues and their tribes would call upon him as a god.
9 И҆ прїи́де на лицѐ є҆сдрилѡ́на бли́з̾ дѡте́и, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть проти́вꙋ вели́кїѧ пилы̀ і҆ꙋде́и,
9 Then he came toward Esdraelon near to Dotaea, which is opposite the great ridge of Judea.
10 и҆ ѡ҆полчи́сѧ междꙋ̀ гава́емъ и҆ скѵ́ѳскимъ гра́домъ, и҆ бѣ̀ та́мѡ мцⷭ҇ъ дні́й, ко є҆́же собра́ти всѧ́кїй припа́съ си́лы своеѧ̀.
10 He encamped between Geba and Scythopolis. He was there a whole month, that he might gather together all the baggage of his army.
