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 Прⷪ҇ро́чество словесѐ гдⷭ҇нѧ на і҆и҃лѧ рꙋко́ю а҆́гг҃ла є҆гѡ̀: положи́те ᲂу҆̀бо на сердца́хъ ва́шихъ.
1 A revelation, Yahweh’s word to Israel by Malachi.
2 Возлюби́хъ вы̀, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь. И҆ рѣ́сте: ѡ҆ че́мъ возлюби́лъ є҆сѝ ны̀; Не бра́тъ ли бѣ̀ и҆са́ѵъ і҆а́кѡвꙋ; гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆ возлюби́хъ і҆а́кѡва, и҆са́ѵа же возненави́дѣхъ,
2 “I have loved you,” says Yahweh. Yet you say, “How have you loved us?” “Wasn’t Esau Jacob’s brother?” says Yahweh, “Yet I loved Jacob;
3 и҆ ᲂу҆чини́хъ предѣ́лы є҆гѡ̀ во и҆счезнове́нїе и҆ достоѧ́нїе є҆гѡ̀ въ ны̑рища пꙋсты̑нна.
3 but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.”
4 Занѐ а҆́ще рече́тъ: і҆дꙋме́а разори́сѧ, и҆ ѡ҆брати́мсѧ и҆ возсози́ждемъ ѡ҆пꙋстѣ̑вшаѧ є҆ѧ̀: си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель: ті́и сози́ждꙋтъ, и҆ а҆́зъ разорю̀, и҆ нарекꙋ́тсѧ и҆̀мъ предѣ́лѣ беззако́нїѧ, и҆ лю́дїе, на нѧ́же ѡ҆полчи́сѧ гдⷭ҇ь до вѣ́ка.
4 Whereas Edom says, “We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places,” Yahweh of Armies says, “They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them ‘The Wicked Land,’ even the people against whom Yahweh shows wrath forever.”
5 И҆ ѻ҆чеса̀ ва̑ша ᲂу҆ви́дѧтъ, и҆ вы̀ рече́те: возвели́чисѧ гдⷭ҇ь превы́ше предѣ̑лъ і҆и҃левыхъ.
5 Your eyes will see, and you will say, “Yahweh is great—even beyond the border of Israel!”
6 Сы́нъ сла́витъ ѻ҆тца̀, и҆ ра́бъ господи́на своегѡ̀ ᲂу҆бои́тсѧ: и҆ а҆́ще ѻ҆ц҃ъ є҆́смь а҆́зъ, то̀ гдѣ̀ сла́ва моѧ̀; и҆ а҆́ще гдⷭ҇ь є҆́смь а҆́зъ, то̀ гдѣ̀ є҆́сть стра́хъ мо́й; гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель. Вы̀ свѧще́нницы презира́ющїи и҆́мѧ моѐ. И҆ рѣ́сте: ѡ҆ чесо́мъ презрѣ́хомъ и҆́мѧ твоѐ;
6 “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, then where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says Yahweh of Armies to you priests who despise my name. “You say, ‘How have we despised your name?’
7 Приносѧ́ще ко ѻ҆лтаре́ви моемꙋ̀ хлѣ́бы сквє́рны. И҆ рѣ́сте: ѡ҆ чесо́мъ ѡ҆скверни́хомъ ѧ҆̀; Внегда̀ глаго́лати ва́мъ: трапе́за гдⷭ҇нѧ ѡ҆скверне́на є҆́сть: и҆ возложє́ннаѧ бра̑шна ᲂу҆ничижи́ли є҆стѐ.
7 You offer polluted bread on my altar. You say, ‘How have we polluted you?’ In that you say, ‘Yahweh’s table is contemptible.’
8 Занѐ а҆́ще приведетѐ слѣ́по на же́ртвꙋ, не ѕло́ ли; и҆ а҆́ще приведетѐ хро́мо и҆лѝ недꙋ́жно, то̀ не ѕло́ ли; приведѝ є҆̀ кнѧ́зю твоемꙋ̀, є҆да̀ прїи́метъ є҆̀; є҆да̀ прїи́метъ лицѐ твоѐ; гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель.
8 When you offer the blind for sacrifice, isn’t that evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, isn’t that evil? Present it now to your governor! Will he be pleased with you? Or will he accept your person?” says Yahweh of Armies.
9 И҆ нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆ми́лостивите лицѐ бг҃а ва́шегѡ и҆ помоли́тесѧ є҆мꙋ̀, (да поми́лꙋетъ вы̀). Въ рꙋка́хъ ва́шихъ бы́ша сїѧ̑, а҆́ще прїимꙋ̀ ѿ ва́съ ли́ца ва̑ша; гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель.
9 “Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With this, will he accept any of you?” says Yahweh of Armies.
10 Занѐ и҆ въ ва́съ затворѧ́тсѧ двє́ри, и҆ не возгнѣтитѐ ѻ҆гнѧ̀ ѻ҆лтаре́ви моемꙋ̀ тꙋ́не: нѣ́сть во́лѧ моѧ̀ въ ва́съ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель, и҆ же́ртвы не прїимꙋ̀ ѿ рꙋ́къ ва́шихъ.
10 “Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you,” says Yahweh of Armies, “neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
11 Занѐ ѿ востѡ́къ со́лнца и҆ до за̑падъ и҆́мѧ моѐ просла́висѧ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, и҆ на всѧ́цѣмъ мѣ́стѣ ѳѷмїа́мъ прино́ситсѧ и҆́мени моемꙋ̀ и҆ же́ртва чи́ста: занѐ ве́лїе и҆́мѧ моѐ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель.
11 For from the rising of the sun even to its going down, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations,” says Yahweh of Armies.
12 Вы́ же сквернитѐ є҆̀ глаго́люще: трапе́за гдⷭ҇нѧ ѡ҆скверне́на є҆́сть, и҆ возлага́ємаѧ бра̑шна є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆ничтожє́на бы́ша.
12 “But you profane it when you say, ‘Yahweh’s table is polluted, and its fruit, even its food, is contemptible.’
13 И҆ рѣ́сте: сїѧ̑ ѿ ѕлострада́нїѧ сꙋ́ть. И҆ ѿдꙋ́нꙋхъ ѧ҆̀, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель. И҆ внесо́сте хищє́нїѧ и҆ хрѡ́маѧ и҆ недꙋ̑жнаѧ, и҆ приведетѐ ѧ҆̀ на же́ртвꙋ, є҆да̀ прїимꙋ̀ и҆́хъ ѿ рꙋ́къ ва́шихъ; гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель.
13 You say also, ‘Behold, what a weariness it is!’ And you have sniffed at it”, says Yahweh of Armies; “and you have brought that which was taken by violence, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering. Should I accept this at your hand?” says Yahweh.
14 И҆ про́клѧтъ, и҆́же бѣ̀ си́ленъ, и҆ бѣ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ въ ста́дѣ є҆гѡ̀ мꙋ́жескъ по́лъ, и҆ ѡ҆бѣ́тъ є҆гѡ̀ на не́мъ, и҆ жре́тъ растлѣ́нное гдⷭ҇еви: занѐ цр҃ь ве́лїй а҆́зъ є҆́смь, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель, и҆ и҆́мѧ моѐ свѣ́тло во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ.
14 “But the deceiver is cursed who has in his flock a male, and vows and sacrifices to the Lord a defective thing; for I am a great King,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and my name is awesome among the nations.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… the rising of the sun, unto the going down [of the same], My name is glorified among the Gentiles, and in every place incense is offered to My name, and a pure sacrifice; for great is My name among the Gentiles, saith the Lord Omnipotent;" --indicating in the plainest manner, by these words, that the former people [the Jews] shall …
… even to the going down of the sun, my name is great among the nations; and in every place sacrifice shall be made, and a pure oblation shall be offered unto my name: for my name shall be great among the nations, saith the Lord." Since we can already see this sacrifice offered to God in every place, from the …

Agreeably to which the prophet also said to the Jews, I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord Almighty; and immediately afterwards, For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same, My name is glorified among the Gentiles.

"A son," it is said, "honoureth his father, and a servant his master." Of these two the one, the servile, is given by the creature; the other, which may be called the intimate, is fulfilled by the Spirit.

This surely is that pure and bloodless sacrifice which the Lord through the prophet said is offered to Him from the rising to the setting of the sun.
