Judith 7 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 Во ᲂу҆́трїе же ѡ҆б̾ѧвѝ ѻ҆лофе́рнъ всемꙋ̀ во́инствꙋ своемꙋ̀ и҆ всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ свои̑мъ, и҆̀же прїидо́ша на споборе́нїе є҆мꙋ̀, воздви́гнꙋтисѧ къ ветѷлꙋ́и и҆ восхо́ды го́рнїѧ предвоспрїѧ́ти и҆ твори́ти бра́нь проти́вꙋ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ.
1 The next day Holofernes commanded all his army and all the people who had come to be his allies, that they should move their camp toward Bethulia, seize the passes of the hill country, and make war against the children of Israel.
2 И҆ воздви́жесѧ въ де́нь то́й всѧ́къ мꙋ́жъ си́льный и҆́хъ: а҆ си́ла и҆́хъ мꙋже́й ра́тныхъ, мꙋже́й пѣ́шихъ сто̀ се́дмьдесѧть ты́сѧщъ, и҆ ко́нникѡвъ ты́сѧщей двана́десѧть, кромѣ̀ приꙋготовле́нїѧ и҆ мꙋже́й, и҆̀же бы́ша пѣшцы̀ въ ни́хъ, мно́жество мно́го ѕѣлѡ̀.
2 Every mighty man of them moved that day. The army of their men of war was one hundred seventy thousand footmen, plus twelve thousand horsemen, besides the baggage and the men who were on foot among them—an exceedingly great multitude.
3 И҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ во ю҆до́ли бли́з̾ ветѷлꙋ́и при и҆сто́чницѣ, и҆ протѧго́шасѧ въ широтꙋ̀ ѿ дѡѳаі́ма да́же до велѳе́ма, и҆ въ долготꙋ̀ ѿ ветѷлꙋ́и да́же до кѷамѡ́на, и҆́же є҆́сть проти́вꙋ є҆сдрилѡ́на.
3 They encamped in the valley near Bethulia, by the fountain. They spread themselves in breadth over Dothaim even to Belmaim, and in length from Bethulia to Cyamon, which is near Esdraelon.
4 Сы́нове же і҆и҃лєвы, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆ви́дѣша и҆́хъ мно́жество, смꙋти́шасѧ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ речѐ кі́йждо ко бли́жнемꙋ своемꙋ̀: нн҃ѣ поли́жꙋтъ сі́и лицѐ землѝ всеѧ̀, и҆ нижѐ го́ры высѡ́кїѧ, нижѐ дє́бри, нижѐ хо́лми снесꙋ́тъ тѧ́жесть и҆́хъ.
4 But the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of them, were terrified, and everyone said to his neighbor, “Now these men will lick up the face of all the earth. Neither the high mountains, nor the valleys, nor the hills will be able to bear their weight.
5 И҆ взе́мше кі́йждо ѻ҆рꙋ̑дїѧ ра̑тнаѧ своѧ̑ и҆ возже́гше ѻ҆гни̑ на ба́шнехъ свои́хъ, пребыва́ша стрегꙋ́ще всю̀ но́щь ѻ҆́нꙋ.
5 Every man took up his weapons of war, and when they had kindled fires upon their towers, they remained and watched all that night.
6 Во вторы́й же де́нь и҆зведѐ ѻ҆лофе́рнъ всю̀ ко́нницꙋ свою̀ проти́вꙋ лица̀ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, и҆̀же бы́ша въ ветѷлꙋ́и,
6 But on the second day Holofernes led out all his cavalry in the sight of the children of Israel which were in Bethulia,
7 и҆ ᲂу҆сма́триваше восхо́дѡвъ гра́да и҆́хъ, и҆ на и҆сто́чники гра́да и҆́хъ на́йде, и҆ предвоспрїѧ̀ и҆̀хъ, и҆ приста́ви къ ни̑мъ ѡ҆полчє́нїѧ мꙋже́й ра́тныхъ, а҆ са́мъ возврати́сѧ къ лю́демъ свои̑мъ.
7 viewed the ascents to their city, and searched out the springs of the waters, seized upon them, and set garrisons of men of war over them. Then he departed back to his people.
8 И҆ прише́дше къ немꙋ̀ всѝ нача̑льницы сынѡ́въ и҆са́ѵлихъ и҆ всѝ вожде́ве люді́й мѡа́влихъ и҆ воевѡ́ды примо́рїѧ рѣ́ша:
8 All the rulers of the children of Esau, all the leaders of the people of Moab, and the captains of the sea coast came to him and said,
9 да послꙋ́шаетъ ᲂу҆́бѡ словесѐ влады́ка на́шъ, да не бꙋ́детъ сокрꙋше́нїѧ въ си́лѣ твое́й:
9 “Let our lord now hear a word, that there not be losses in your army.
10 наро́дъ бо се́й сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ не ᲂу҆пова́ютъ на ко́пїѧ своѧ̑, но на высоты̑ го́ръ свои́хъ, въ ни́хже ѻ҆нѝ живꙋ́тъ, не бо̀ є҆́сть ᲂу҆до́бно прїитѝ верха́ми го́ръ и҆́хъ:
10 For this people of the children of Israel do not trust in their spears, but in the height of the mountains wherein they dwell, for it is not easy to come up to the tops of their mountains.
11 и҆ нн҃ѣ, влады́ко, не ра́тꙋй на ни́хъ, ꙗ҆́коже быва́етъ ра́ть ѡ҆полче́нїѧ, и҆ не паде́тъ ѿ люді́й твои́хъ мꙋ́жъ є҆ди́нъ:
11 And now, my lord, don’t fight against them as men fight who join battle, and there will not so much as one man of your people perish.
12 пребꙋ́ди въ полцѣ̀ твое́мъ, соблюда́ѧй всѧ́каго мꙋ́жа ѿ си́лы твоеѧ̀, и҆ да ѡ҆бдержа́тъ ѻ҆́троцы твоѝ и҆сто́чникъ водны́й, и҆́же и҆схо́дитъ и҆з̾ ко́рене горы̀,
12 Remain in your camp, and keep every man of your army safe. Let your servants get possession of the water spring, which flows from the foot of the mountain,
13 занѐ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ напаѧ́ютсѧ всѝ живꙋ́щїи въ ветѷлꙋ́и: и҆ погꙋби́тъ и҆̀хъ жа́жда, и҆ ѿдадѧ́тъ гра́дъ сво́й, а҆ мы̀ и҆ лю́дїе на́ши взы́демъ на бли̑зкїѧ верхѝ го́ръ и҆ ѡ҆полчи́мсѧ на ни́хъ въ пред̾ѡхране́нїе, є҆́же не и҆зы́ти и҆з̾ гра́да мꙋ́жꙋ є҆ди́номꙋ:
13 because all the inhabitants of Bethulia get their water from there. Then thirst will kill them, and they will give up their city. Then we and our people will go up to the tops of the mountains that are near, and will camp upon them, to watch that not one man gets out of the city.
14 и҆ и҆ста́ютъ гла́домъ са́ми и҆ жены̀ и҆́хъ и҆ ча̑да и҆́хъ и҆ пре́жде не́же прїитѝ мечꙋ̀ на ни́хъ, падꙋ́тъ на сто́гнахъ ѡ҆бита́нїѧ своегѡ̀:
14 They will be consumed with famine—they, their wives, and their children. Before the sword comes against them they will be laid low in the streets where they dwell.
15 и҆ возда́си и҆̀мъ воздаѧ́нїе лꙋка́вое, поне́же воскрамо́льствоваша и҆ не срѣто́ша лица̀ твоегѡ̀ въ ми́рѣ.
15 And you will pay them back with evil, because they rebelled, and didn’t meet your face in peace.”
16 И҆ ᲂу҆гѡ́дна бы́ша словеса̀ и҆́хъ пред̾ ѻ҆лофе́рномъ и҆ пред̾ всѣ́ми слꙋги̑ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆ста́виша сотвори́ти, ꙗ҆́коже глаго́лаша.
16 Their words were pleasing in the sight of Holofernes and in the sight of all his servants; and he ordered them to do as they had spoken.
17 И҆ воздви́жесѧ по́лкъ сынѡ́въ а҆ммѡ́нихъ, и҆ съ ни́ми пѧ́ть ты́сѧщей сынѡ́въ а҆ссꙋ́рскихъ, и҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ во ю҆до́ли и҆ предвоспрїѧ́ша во́ды и҆ и҆сто́чники во́дъ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ.
17 And the army of the children of Ammon moved, and with them five thousand of the children of Asshur, and they encamped in the valley. They seized the waters and the springs of the waters of the children of Israel.
18 И҆ взыдо́ша сы́нове и҆са̑ѵли и҆ сы́нове а҆ммѡ̑ни и҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ въ го́рнѣй проти́вꙋ дѡѳі́ма, и҆ посла́ша ѿ себє̀ къ ю҆́гꙋ и҆ восто́кꙋ проти́вꙋ є҆креви́ла, и҆́же є҆́сть бли́з̾ хꙋ́са, и҆́же є҆́сть при пото́цѣ мохмꙋ́ръ: а҆ про́чее во́инство а҆ссѷрі́ѡвъ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ на по́ли и҆ покры́ша всѐ лицѐ землѝ: и҆ шатры̀ и҆ припа́сы и҆́хъ разста́вишасѧ въ наро́дѣ мно́зѣ, и҆ бы́ша во мно́жество мно́го ѕѣлѡ̀.
18 The children of Esau went up with the children of Ammon, and encamped in the hill country near Dothaim. They sent some of them toward the south, and toward the east, near Ekrebel, which is near Chusi, that is upon the brook Mochmur. The rest of the army of the Assyrians encamped in the plain, and covered all the face of the land. Their tents and baggage were pitched upon it in a great crowd. They were an exceedingly great multitude.
19 Сы́нове же і҆и҃левы возопи́ша ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ своемꙋ̀, занѐ возмалодꙋ́шествова дꙋ́хъ и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆быдо́ша всѣ́хъ вразѝ и҆́хъ, и҆ не бѣ̀ возмо́жно и҆збѣжа́ти и҆з̾ среды̀ и҆́хъ.
19 The children of Israel cried to the Lord their God, for their spirit fainted; for all their enemies had surrounded them. There was no way to escape out from among them.
20 И҆ пребы́сть ѡ҆́крестъ и҆́хъ всѐ ѡ҆полче́нїе а҆ссꙋ́рское, пѣшцы̀ и҆ колєсни́цы и҆ кѡ́нницы и҆́хъ, дні́й три́десѧть четы́ре: и҆ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ша всѣ̑мъ живꙋ́щымъ во ветѷлꙋ́и всѧ̑ прїѧ́тєлища и҆́хъ водна̑ѧ,
20 All the army of Asshur remained around them, their footmen and their chariots and their horsemen, for thirty-four days. All their vessels of water ran dry for all the inhabitants of Bethulia.
21 и҆ рвы̀ ѡ҆скꙋдѣва́ша, и҆ не и҆мѣ́ѧхꙋ пи́ти въ сы́тость воды̀ днѐ є҆ди́нагѡ, занѐ мѣ́рою дава́хꙋ и҆̀мъ пи́ти.
21 The cisterns were emptied, and they had no water to drink their fill for one day; for they rationed drink by measure.
22 И҆ смѧто́шасѧ младе́нцы и҆́хъ и҆ жєны̀ и҆́хъ и҆ ю҆́нѡши, и҆знемога́хꙋ ѿ жа́жды и҆ па́дахꙋ на сто́гнахъ гра́да и҆ въ прохо́дѣхъ вра́тъ, и҆ не бѣ̀ крѣ́пости ктомꙋ̀ въ ни́хъ.
22 Their young children were discouraged. The women and the young men fainted for thirst. They fell down in the streets of the city, and in the passages of the gates. There was no longer any strength in them.
23 И҆ собра́шасѧ всѝ лю́дїе ко ѻ҆зі́и и҆ кнѧзє́мъ гра́да, ю҆́нѡши и҆ жєны̀ и҆ ѻ҆́троцы и҆ возопи́ша гла́сомъ вели́кимъ и҆ рѣ́ша пред̾ всѣ́ми старѣ́йшинами:
23 All the people, including the young men, the women, and the children, were gathered together against Ozias, and against the rulers of the city. They cried with a loud voice, and said before all the elders,
24 да сꙋ́дитъ бг҃ъ междꙋ̀ на́ми и҆ ва́ми, ꙗ҆́кѡ сотвори́сте въ на́съ непра́вдꙋ ве́лїю, не глаго́люще ми̑рнаѧ съ сынмѝ а҆ссꙋ́рскими:
24 “God be judge between all of you and us, because you have done us great wrong, in that you have not spoken words of peace with the children of Asshur.
25 и҆ нн҃ѣ нѣ́сть помо́щника на́мъ, но продадѐ на́съ бг҃ъ въ рꙋ́цѣ и҆́хъ, є҆́же низве́ржєнымъ бы́ти пред̾ ни́ми жа́ждею и҆ погꙋбле́нїемъ вели́кимъ:
25 Now we have no helper; but God has sold us into their hands, that we should be laid low before them with thirst and great destruction.
26 и҆ нн҃ѣ призови́те и҆̀хъ и҆ ѿдади́те гра́дъ ве́сь въ расхище́нїе лю́демъ ѻ҆лофе́рнѡвымъ и҆ все́й си́лѣ є҆гѡ̀:
26 And now summon them, and deliver up the whole city as prey to the people of Holofernes, and to all his army.
27 лꙋ́чше бо на́мъ бы́ти и҆̀мъ въ расхище́нїе, бꙋ́демъ бо въ рабы̑, и҆ жива̀ бꙋ́детъ дꙋша̀ на́ша, и҆ не ᲂу҆́зримъ сме́рти младе́нцєвъ на́шихъ во ѻ҆чесѣ́хъ на́шихъ, и҆ же́нъ и҆ ча̑дъ на́шихъ и҆счеза́ющихъ дꙋша́ми свои́ми:
27 For it is better for us to be captured by them. For we will be servants, and our souls will live, and we will not see the death of our babies before our eyes, and our wives and our children fainting in death.
28 свидѣ́тельствꙋемъ ва́мъ не́бомъ и҆ земле́ю и҆ бг҃омъ на́шимъ и҆ гдⷭ҇емъ ѻ҆тє́цъ на́шихъ, и҆́же ѿмща́етъ на́мъ по грѣхѡ́мъ на́шымъ и҆ по грѣхѡ́мъ ѻ҆тє́цъ на́шихъ, да не сотвори́тъ по глаго́лѡмъ си̑мъ во дне́шнїй де́нь.
28 We take to witness against you the sky and the earth, and our God and the Lord of our fathers, who punishes us according to our sins and the sins of our fathers. Do what we have said today!”
29 И҆ бы́сть пла́чь ве́лїй посредѣ̀ собра́нїѧ всѣ́хъ є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ, и҆ возопи́ша ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ гла́сомъ вели́кимъ.
29 And there was great weeping of all with one consent in the midst of the assembly; and they cried to the Lord God with a loud voice.
30 И҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ ѻ҆зі́а: дерза́йте, бра́тїѧ, претерпи́мъ є҆щѐ пѧ́ть дні́й, въ ни́хже ѡ҆брати́тъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ на́шъ млⷭ҇ть свою̀ на на́съ, не бо̀ ѡ҆ста́витъ на́съ въ коне́цъ:
30 And Ozias said to them, “Brethren, be of good courage! Let us endure five more days, during which the Lord our God will turn his mercy toward us; for he will not forsake us utterly.
31 а҆́ще же пре́йдꙋтъ сі́и, и҆ не прїи́детъ на на́съ по́мощь, сотворю̀ по словесє́мъ ва́шымъ.
31 But if these days pass, and no help comes to us, I will do what you say.”
32 И҆ распꙋстѝ люді́й ко своемꙋ̀ ѡ҆полче́нїю: и҆ на стѣ́ны и҆ ба̑шни гра́да своегѡ̀ ѿидо́ша, а҆ жены̀ и҆ ча̑да въ до́мы и҆́хъ ѿсла̀. И҆ бы́ша во смире́нїи мно́зѣмъ во гра́дѣ.
32 Then he dispersed the people, every man to his own camp; and they went away to the walls and towers of their city. He sent the women and children into their houses. They were brought very low in the city.
