Notes on this text (3)

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.
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.

1 А҆́лефъ. Ка́кѡ ѡ҆мрачѝ во гнѣ́вѣ свое́мъ гдⷭ҇ь дще́рь сїѡ́ню: све́рже съ небесѐ на зе́млю сла́вꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ, и҆ не помѧнꙋ̀ подно́жїѧ ногꙋ̀ своє́ю въ де́нь гнѣ́ва и҆ ꙗ҆́рости своеѧ̀.

1 How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast the beauty of Israel down from heaven to the earth, and hasn’t remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.

2 Бе́ѳъ. Погрꙋзѝ гдⷭ҇ь и҆ не пощадѣ̀: всѧ̑ кра̑снаѧ і҆а̑кѡвлѧ разорѝ ꙗ҆́ростїю свое́ю, тверды́ни дще́ре і҆ꙋ́дины и҆зве́рже на зе́млю, ѡ҆сквернѝ царѧ̀ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ кнѧ̑зи є҆ѧ̀,

2 The Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob without pity. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground. He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.

3 Гі́мель. сокрꙋшѝ во гнѣ́вѣ ꙗ҆́рости своеѧ̀ ве́сь ро́гъ і҆и҃левъ, ѡ҆братѝ вспѧ́ть десни́цꙋ є҆гѡ̀ ѿ лица̀ врага̀, разжжѐ во і҆а́кѡвѣ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́гнь пла́мы, и҆ потребѝ всѧ̑ ѡ҆́крестъ,

3 He has cut off all the horn of Israel in fierce anger. He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy. He has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.

4 Да́леѳъ. напрѧжѐ лꙋ́къ сво́й ꙗ҆́кѡ ра́тникъ проти́вный, ᲂу҆твердѝ десни́цꙋ свою̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ сꙋпоста̑тъ и҆ и҆збѝ всѧ̑ кра̑снаѧ ѻ҆́чїю моє́ю во селе́нїихъ дще́ре сїѡ́ни, и҆злїѧ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́гнь ꙗ҆́рость свою̀.

4 He has bent his bow like an enemy. He has stood with his right hand as an adversary. He has killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion, he has poured out his wrath like fire.

5 Гѐ. Бы́сть гдⷭ҇ь а҆́ки вра́гъ, погрꙋзѝ і҆и҃лѧ, погрꙋзѝ всѧ̑ до́мы є҆гѡ̀, разсы́па всѧ̑ стѣ́ны є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жи дще́ри і҆ꙋ́динѣ смире́на и҆ смире́нꙋ,

5 The Lord has become as an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed his strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.

6 Ва́ѵъ. и҆ разве́рзе а҆́ки вїногра́дъ селе́нїе своѐ, разсы́па пра́здники є҆гѡ̀: забы̀ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ въ сїѡ́нѣ пра́здники и҆ сꙋббѡ̑ты, и҆ ѡ҆ѕло́би преще́нїемъ гнѣ́ва своегѡ̀ царѧ̀ и҆ кнѧ́зѧ и҆ жерца̀.

6 He has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were a garden. He has destroyed his place of assembly. Yahweh has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion. In the indignation of his anger, he has despised the king and the priest.

7 За́їнъ. Ѿри́нꙋ гдⷭ҇ь же́ртвенникъ сво́й, ѿтрѧсѐ ст҃ы́ню свою̀, сокрꙋшѝ рꙋко́ю вра́жїею стѣ́нꙋ забра́лѡвъ є҆гѡ̀: гла́съ да́ша въ домꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ни ꙗ҆́кѡ въ де́нь пра́здника.

7 The Lord has cast off his altar. He has abhorred his sanctuary. He has given the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in Yahweh’s house, as in the day of a solemn assembly.

8 И҆́ѳъ. Ѡ҆брати́сѧ гдⷭ҇ь разсы́пати стѣ́нꙋ дще́ре сїѡ́ни: протѧжѐ мѣ́рꙋ, не ѿвратѝ рꙋкѝ своеѧ̀ ѿ попра́нїѧ: и҆ сѣ́това предгра́дїе, и҆ ѡ҆гра́да вкꙋ́пѣ и҆знемо́же.

8 Yahweh has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line. He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying; He has made the rampart and wall lament. They languish together.

9 Те́ѳъ. Врасто́ша въ зе́млю врата̀ є҆ѧ̀, погꙋбѝ и҆ сокрꙋшѝ верєѝ є҆ѧ̀, царѧ̀ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ кнѧ̑зи є҆ѧ̀ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, нѣ́сть зако́на, и҆ проро́цы є҆ѧ̀ не ви́дѣша видѣ́нїѧ ѿ гдⷭ҇а.

9 Her gates have sunk into the ground. He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not. Yes, her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.

10 І҆ѡ́дъ. Сѣдо́ша на землѝ, ᲂу҆молко́ша старѣ̑йшины дще́ре сїѡ́ни, посы́паша пе́рсть на главы̑ своѧ̑, препоѧ́сашасѧ во врє́тища, низведо́ша въ зе́млю старѣ́йшинъ дѣ́въ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мскихъ.

10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground. They keep silence. They have cast up dust on their heads. They have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

11 Ка́фъ. Ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ша ѻ҆́чи моѝ въ слеза́хъ, смꙋти́сѧ се́рдце моѐ, и҆злїѧ́сѧ на зе́млю сла́ва моѧ̀ ѡ҆ сокрꙋше́нїи дще́ре люді́й мои́хъ, внегда̀ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ̀ младе́нецъ и҆ ссꙋ́щїй на сто́гнахъ гра́дскихъ.

11 My eyes fail with tears. My heart is troubled. My bile is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.

12 Ла́медъ. Ма́теремъ свои̑мъ реко́ша: гдѣ̀ пшени́ца и҆ вїно̀; внегда̀ разсла́блєнымъ бы́ти и҆̀мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ꙗ҆́звєнымъ на сто́гнахъ гра́дскихъ, є҆гда̀ и҆злива́хꙋсѧ дꙋ́ши и҆́хъ въ ло́но ма́терей и҆́хъ.

12 They ask their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom.

13 Ме́мъ. Что́ ти засвидѣ́тельствꙋю; и҆лѝ что̀ ᲂу҆подо́блю тебѣ̀, дщѝ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́млѧ; кто́ тѧ спасе́тъ и҆ кто́ тѧ ᲂу҆тѣ́шитъ, дѣви́це, дщѝ сїѡ́нѧ; ꙗ҆́кѡ возвели́чисѧ ча́ша сокрꙋше́нїѧ твоегѡ̀, кто́ тѧ и҆сцѣли́тъ;

13 What shall I testify to you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your breach is as big as the sea. Who can heal you?

14 Нꙋ́нъ. Проро́цы твоѝ ви́дѣша тебѣ̀ сꙋ́єтнаѧ и҆ безꙋ́мїе и҆ не ѿкры́ша ѡ҆ непра́вдѣ твое́й, є҆́же возврати́ти плѣне́нїе твоѐ, и҆ ви́дѣша тебѣ̀ словеса̀ сꙋ́єтнаѧ и҆ и҆зриновє́нїѧ.

14 Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to reverse your captivity, but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.

15 Са́мехъ. Восплеска́ша рꙋка́ма ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ всѝ минꙋ́ющїи пꙋте́мъ, позвизда́ша и҆ покива́ша главо́ю свое́ю ѡ҆ дще́ри і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мли, рекꙋ́ще: се́й ли гра́дъ, вѣне́цъ сла́вы, весе́лїе всеѧ̀ землѝ;

15 All that pass by clap their hands at you. They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, “Is this the city that men called ‘The perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth’?”

16 А҆́їнъ. Ѿверзо́ша на тѧ̀ ᲂу҆ста̀ своѧ̑ всѝ вразѝ твоѝ, позвизда́ша и҆ поскрежета́ша зꙋбы̀ свои́ми и҆ рѣ́ша: поглоти́мъ ю҆̀: ѻ҆ба́че се́й де́нь, є҆го́же ча́ѧхомъ, ѡ҆брѣто́хомъ є҆го̀, ви́дѣхомъ.

16 All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for. We have found it. We have seen it.”

17 Фѝ. Сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆̀же помы́сли, сконча̀ словеса̀ своѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же заповѣ́да ѿ дні́й пе́рвыхъ: разорѝ и҆ не пощадѣ̀, и҆ возвеселѝ ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ врага̀, вознесѐ ро́гъ стꙋжа́ющагѡ тѝ.

17 Yahweh has done that which he planned. He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you. He has exalted the horn of your adversaries.

18 Ца́ди. Возопѝ се́рдце и҆́хъ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, стѣ́ны дще́ре сїѡ́ни да и҆злїю́тъ ꙗ҆́коже водоте́ча сле́зы де́нь и҆ но́щь: не да́ждь поко́ѧ себѣ̀, и҆ да не ᲂу҆мо́лкнетъ зѣ́ница ѻ҆́чїю твоє́ю.

18 Their heart cried to the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief. Don’t let your eyes rest.

19 Кѡ́фъ. Воста́ни, поꙋчи́сѧ въ нощѝ въ нача́лѣ стражбы̀ твоеѧ̀, пролі́й ꙗ҆́кѡ во́дꙋ се́рдце твоѐ пред̾ лице́мъ гдⷭ҇нимъ, воздви́гни къ немꙋ̀ рꙋ́цѣ твоѝ ѡ҆ дꙋша́хъ младе́нєцъ твои́хъ, разсла́бленыхъ гла́домъ въ нача́лѣ всѣ́хъ и҆схо́дѡвъ.

19 Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.

20 Ре́шъ. Ви́ждь, гдⷭ҇и, и҆ при́зри, кого̀ є҆сѝ ѡ҆треби́лъ си́це; є҆да̀ снѣдѧ́тъ жєны̀ пло́дъ ᲂу҆тро́бы своеѧ̀; ѡ҆требле́нїе сотворѝ по́варъ, и҆збїю́тъ ли младе́нцєвъ ссꙋ́щихъ сосцы̀; ᲂу҆бїе́ши ли во ст҃ы́ни гдⷭ҇ни жерца̀ и҆ проро́ка;

20 “Look, Yahweh, and see to whom you have done thus! Should the women eat their offspring, the children that they held and bounced on their knees? Should the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?

21 Ши́нъ. Оу҆спо́ша на и҆схо́дищихъ ѻ҆́трокъ и҆ ста́рецъ: дѣви̑цы моѧ̑ и҆ ю҆́нѡты моѝ ѿидо́ша въ плѣ́нъ, мече́мъ и҆ гла́домъ и҆зби́лъ є҆сѝ, въ де́нь гнѣ́ва твоегѡ̀ свари́лъ є҆сѝ, не пощадѣ́лъ.

21 “The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger. You have slaughtered, and not pitied.

22 Ѳа́ѵъ. Призва́лъ є҆сѝ ꙗ҆́кѡ де́нь пра́здника пришє́льствїѧ моѧ̑ ѡ҆́крестъ, и҆ не бы́сть въ де́нь гнѣ́ва гдⷭ҇нѧ ᲂу҆цѣлѣ́вый и҆ ѡ҆ста́выйсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сотвори́хъ возмощѝ и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жихъ врагѝ моѧ̑ всѧ̑.

22 “You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was no one that escaped or remained in the day of Yahweh’s anger. My enemy has consumed those whom I have cared for and brought up.
