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.

PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 И҆ влѣ́зъ въ кора́бль, пре́йде и҆ прїи́де во сво́й гра́дъ.
1 He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city.
1 Καὶ ἐμβὰς εἰς πλοῖον διεπέρασε καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν ἰδίαν πόλιν.
2 И҆ сѐ, принесо́ша є҆мꙋ̀ разсла́блена (жи́лами), на ѻ҆дрѣ̀ лежа́ща: и҆ ви́дѣвъ і҆и҃съ вѣ́рꙋ и҆́хъ, речѐ разсла́бленномꙋ: дерза́й, ча́до, ѿпꙋща́ютсѧ тѝ грѣсѝ твоѝ.
2 Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”
2 Καὶ ἰδοὺ προσέφερον αὐτῷ παραλυτικὸν ἐπὶ κλίνης βεβλημένον· καὶ ἰδὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν εἶπε τῷ παραλυτικῷ· θάρσει, τέκνον· ἀφέωνταί σοι αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου.
3 И҆ сѐ, нѣ́цыи ѿ кни̑жникъ рѣ́ша въ себѣ̀: се́й хꙋ́литъ.
3 Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”
3 καὶ ἰδού τινες τῶν γραμματέων εἶπον ἐν ἑαυτοῖς· οὗτος βλασφημεῖ.
4 И҆ ви́дѣвъ і҆и҃съ помышлє́нїѧ и҆́хъ, речѐ: вскꙋ́ю вы̀ мы́слите лꙋка̑ваѧ въ сердца́хъ свои́хъ;
4 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
4 καὶ ἰδὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὰς ἐνθυμήσεις αὐτῶν εἶπεν· ἵνα τί ὑμεῖς ἐνθυμεῖσθε πονηρὰ ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν;
5 что́ бо є҆́сть ᲂу҆до́бѣе рещѝ: ѿпꙋща́ютсѧ тѝ грѣсѝ: и҆лѝ рещѝ: воста́ни и҆ ходѝ;
5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk’?
5 τί γάρ ἐστιν εὐκοπώτερον, εἰπεῖν, ἀφέωνταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι, ἢ εἰπεῖν, ἔγειρε καὶ περιπάτει;
6 но да ᲂу҆вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ вла́сть и҆́мать сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй на землѝ ѿпꙋща́ти грѣхѝ: тогда̀ гл҃а разсла́бленномꙋ: воста́ни, возмѝ тво́й ѻ҆́дръ и҆ и҆дѝ въ до́мъ тво́й.
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”
6 ἵνα δὲ εἰδῆτε ὅτι ἐξουσίαν ἔχει ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας — τότε λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ· ἐγερθεὶς ἆρόν σου τὴν κλίνην καὶ ὕπαγε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου.
7 И҆ воста́въ, (взе́мъ ѻ҆́дръ сво́й,) и҆́де въ до́мъ сво́й.
7 He arose and departed to his house.
7 καὶ ἐγερθεὶς ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
8 Ви́дѣвше же наро́ди чꙋди́шасѧ и҆ просла́виша бг҃а, да́вшаго вла́сть таковꙋ́ю человѣ́кѡмъ.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
8 ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ ὄχλοι ἐθαύμασαν καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν Θεὸν τὸν δόντα ἐξουσίαν τοιαύτην τοῖς ἀνθρώποις.
9 И҆ преходѧ̀ і҆и҃съ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ, ви́дѣ человѣ́ка сѣдѧ́ща на мы́тницѣ, матѳе́а глаго́лема: и҆ гл҃а є҆мꙋ̀: по мнѣ̀ грѧдѝ. И҆ воста́въ по не́мъ и҆́де.
9 As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.
9 Καὶ παράγων ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκεῖθεν εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον, Ματθαῖον λεγόμενον, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ἀκολούθει μοι. καὶ ἀναστὰς ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ.
10 И҆ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ возлежа́щꙋ въ домꙋ̀, и҆ сѐ, мно́зи мытари̑ и҆ грѣ̑шницы прише́дше возлежа́хꙋ со і҆и҃сомъ и҆ со ᲂу҆чн҃ки̑ є҆гѡ̀.
10 As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
10 Καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ ἀνακειμένου ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, καὶ ἰδοὺ πολλοὶ τελῶναι καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐλθόντες συνανέκειντο τῷ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ.
11 И҆ ви́дѣвше фарїсе́є, глаго́лахꙋ ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀: почто̀ съ мытари̑ и҆ грѣ̑шники ᲂу҆чт҃ль ва́шъ ꙗ҆́стъ и҆ пїе́тъ;
11 When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
11 καὶ ἰδόντες οἱ Φαρισαῖοι εἶπον τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· διατί μετὰ τῶν τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἐσθίει ὁ διδάσκαλος ὑμῶν;
12 І҆и҃съ же слы́шавъ речѐ и҆̀мъ: не тре́бꙋютъ здра́вїи врача̀, но болѧ́щїи:
12 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
12 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀκούσας εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν οἱ ἰσχύοντες ἰατροῦ, ἀλλ᾽ οἱ κακῶς ἔχοντες.
13 ше́дше же наꙋчи́тесѧ, что̀ є҆́сть: ми́лости хощꙋ̀, а҆ не же́ртвы; не прїидо́хъ бо призва́ти првⷣники, но грѣ́шники на покаѧ́нїе.
13 But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
13 πορευθέντες δὲ μάθετε τί ἐστιν ἔλεον θέλω καὶ οὐ θυσίαν. οὐ γὰρ ἦλθον καλέσαι δικαίους, ἀλλὰ ἁμαρτωλοὺς εἰς μετάνοιαν.
14 Тогда̀ пристꙋпи́ша къ немꙋ̀ ᲂу҆ченицы̀ і҆ѡа́ннѡвы, глаго́люще: почто̀ мы̀ и҆ фарїсе́є пости́мсѧ мно́гѡ, ᲂу҆чн҃цы́ же твоѝ не постѧ́тсѧ;
14 Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”
14 Τότε προσέρχονται αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ Ἰωάννου λέγοντες· διατί ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι νηστεύομεν πολλά, οἱ δὲ μαθηταί σου οὐ νηστεύουσι;
15 И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: є҆да̀ мо́гꙋтъ сы́нове бра́чнїи пла́кати, є҆ли́ко вре́мѧ съ ни́ми є҆́сть жени́хъ; Прїи́дꙋтъ же дні́е, є҆гда̀ ѿи́метсѧ ѿ ни́хъ жени́хъ, и҆ тогда̀ постѧ́тсѧ.
15 Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
15 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· μὴ δύνανται οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ νυμφῶνος πενθεῖν ἐφ᾽ ὅσον [χρόνον] μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ἐστιν ὁ νυμφίος; ἐλεύσονται δὲ ἡμέραι ὅταν ἀπαρθῇ ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ὁ νυμφίος, καὶ τότε νηστεύσουσιν.
16 Никто́же бо приставлѧ́етъ приставле́нїѧ пла́та небѣ́лена ри́зѣ ве́тсѣ: во́зметъ бо кончи́нꙋ свою̀ ѿ ри́зы, и҆ го́рша дира̀ бꙋ́детъ.
16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
16 οὐδεὶς δὲ ἐπιβάλλει ἐπίβλημα ῥάκους ἀγνάφου ἐπὶ ἱματίῳ παλαιῷ· αἴρει γὰρ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱματίου, καὶ χεῖρον σχίσμα γίνεται.
17 Нижѐ влива́ютъ вїна̀ но́ва въ мѣ́хи вє́тхи: а҆́ще ли же нѝ, то̀ просадѧ́тсѧ мѣ́си, и҆ вїно̀ пролїе́тсѧ, и҆ мѣ́си поги́бнꙋтъ: но влива́ютъ вїно̀ но́во въ мѣ́хи нѡ́вы, и҆ ѻ҆боѐ соблюде́тсѧ.
17 Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
17 οὐδὲ βάλλουσιν οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς παλαιούς· εἰ δὲ μήγε, ῥήγνυνται οἱ ἀσκοί, καὶ ὁ οἶνος ἐκχεῖται καὶ οἱ ἀσκοὶ ἀπολοῦνται· ἀλλὰ οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς βάλλουσιν καινούς, καὶ ἀμφότεροι συντηροῦνται.
18 Сїѧ̑ є҆мꙋ̀ гл҃ющꙋ къ ни̑мъ, сѐ, кнѧ́зь нѣ́кїй прише́дъ кла́нѧшесѧ є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ дщѝ моѧ̀ нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆́мре: но прише́дъ возложѝ на ню̀ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀, и҆ ѡ҆живе́тъ.
18 While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
18 Ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος αὐτοῖς ἰδοὺ ἄρχων [εἷς] προσελθὼν προσεκύνει αὐτῷ λέγων ὅτι ἡ θυγάτηρ μου ἄρτι ἐτελεύτησεν· ἀλλὰ ἐλθὼν ἐπίθες τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν καὶ ζήσεται.
19 И҆ воста́въ і҆и҃съ по не́мъ и҆́де, и҆ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀.
19 Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.
19 καὶ ἐγερθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.
20 И҆ сѐ, жена̀ кровоточи́ва двана́десѧте лѣ́тъ, пристꙋ́пльши созадѝ, прикоснꙋ́сѧ воскри́лїю ри́зы є҆гѡ̀,
20 Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
20 Καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνή, αἱμορροοῦσα δώδεκα ἔτη, προσελθοῦσα ὄπισθεν ἥψατο τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ.
21 глаго́лаше бо въ себѣ̀: а҆́ще то́кмѡ прикоснꙋ́сѧ ри́зѣ є҆гѡ̀, сп҃се́на бꙋ́дꙋ.
21 for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”
21 ἔλεγε γὰρ ἐν ἑαυτῇ, ἐὰν μόνον ἅψωμαι τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ, σωθήσομαι.
22 І҆и҃съ же ѡ҆бра́щьсѧ и҆ ви́дѣвъ ю҆̀, речѐ: дерза́й, дщѝ, вѣ́ра твоѧ̀ сп҃се́ тѧ. И҆ сп҃се́на бы́сть жена̀ ѿ часа̀ тогѡ̀.
22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
22 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐπιστραφεὶς καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὴν εἶπε· θάρσει, θύγατερ· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε. καὶ ἐσώθη ἡ γυνὴ ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης.
23 И҆ прише́дъ і҆и҃съ въ до́мъ кнѧ́жь, и҆ ви́дѣвъ сопцы̀ и҆ наро́дъ мо́лвѧщь,
23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder,
23 Καὶ ἐλθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ ἄρχοντος καὶ ἰδὼν τοὺς αὐλητὰς καὶ τὸν ὄχλον θορυβούμενον, λέγει αὐτοῖς·
24 гл҃а и҆̀мъ: ѿиди́те, не ᲂу҆́мре бо дѣви́ца, но спи́тъ. И҆ рꙋга́хꙋсѧ є҆мꙋ̀.
24 he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.
24 ἀναχωρεῖτε· οὐ γὰρ ἀπέθανε τὸ κοράσιον, ἀλλὰ καθεύδει. καὶ κατεγέλων αὐτοῦ.
25 Є҆гда́ же и҆згна́нъ бы́сть наро́дъ, вше́дъ ꙗ҆́тъ ю҆̀ за рꙋ́кꙋ: и҆ воста̀ дѣви́ца.
25 But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
25 ὅτε δὲ ἐξεβλήθη ὁ ὄχλος, εἰσελθὼν ἐκράτησε τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἠγέρθη τὸ κοράσιον.
26 И҆ и҆зы́де вѣ́сть сїѧ̀ по все́й землѝ то́й.
26 The report of this went out into all that land.
26 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἡ φήμη αὕτη εἰς ὅλην τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην.
27 И҆ преходѧ́щꙋ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ і҆и҃сови, по не́мъ и҆до́ста два̀ слѣпца̑, зовꙋ̑ща и҆ глагѡ́люща: поми́лꙋй ны̀, (і҆и҃се) сн҃е дв҃довъ.
27 As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”
27 Καὶ παράγοντι ἐκεῖθεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ δύο τυφλοὶ κράζοντες καὶ λέγοντες· ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς, υἱὲ Δαυΐδ.
28 Прише́дшꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀ въ до́мъ, пристꙋпи́ста къ немꙋ̀ слѣпца̑, и҆ гл҃а и҆́ма і҆и҃съ: вѣ́рꙋета ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ могꙋ̀ сїѐ сотвори́ти; Глаго́ласта є҆мꙋ̀: є҆́й, гдⷭ҇и.
28 When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”
28 ἐλθόντι δὲ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ τυφλοί, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· πιστεύετε ὅτι δύναμαι τοῦτο ποιῆσαι; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· ναί, Κύριε.
29 Тогда̀ прикоснꙋ́сѧ ѻ҆́чїю и҆́хъ, гл҃ѧ: по вѣ́рѣ ва́ю бꙋ́ди ва́ма.
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
29 τότε ἥψατο τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν λέγων· κατὰ τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν γενηθήτω ὑμῖν.
30 И҆ ѿверзо́стасѧ ѻ҆́чи и҆́ма: и҆ запретѝ и҆́ма і҆и҃съ, гл҃ѧ: блюди́та, да никто́же ᲂу҆вѣ́сть.
30 Then their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”
30 καὶ ἀνεῴχθησαν αὐτῶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί· καὶ ἐνεβριμήσατο αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· ὁρᾶτε μηδεὶς γινωσκέτω.
31 Ѡ҆́на же и҆зшє́дша просла́виста є҆го̀ по все́й землѝ то́й.
31 But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
31 οἱ δὲ ἐξελθόντες διεφήμισαν αὐτὸν ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ γῇ ἐκείνῃ.
32 Тѣ́ма же и҆сходѧ́щема, сѐ, приведо́ша къ немꙋ̀ человѣ́ка нѣ́ма бѣснꙋ́ема.
32 As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
32 Αὐτῶν δὲ ἐξερχομένων ἰδοὺ προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ ἄνθρωπον κωφὸν δαιμονιζόμενον·
33 И҆ и҆згна́нꙋ бѣ́сꙋ, проглаго́ла нѣмы́й. И҆ диви́шасѧ наро́ди, глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ николи́же ꙗ҆ви́сѧ та́кѡ во і҆и҃ли.
33 When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
33 καὶ ἐκβληθέντος τοῦ δαιμονίου ἐλάλησεν ὁ κωφός, καὶ ἐθαύμασαν οἱ ὄχλοι λέγοντες ὅτι οὐδέποτε ἐφάνη οὕτως ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
34 Фарїсе́є же глаго́лахꙋ: ѡ҆ кнѧ́зи бѣсо́встѣмъ и҆зго́нитъ бѣ́сы.
34 But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”
34 οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι ἔλεγον· ἐν τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια.
35 И҆ прохожда́ше і҆и҃съ гра́ды всѧ̑ и҆ вє́си, ᲂу҆чѧ̀ на со́нмищихъ и҆́хъ, и҆ проповѣ́даѧ є҆ѵⷢ҇лїе црⷭ҇твїѧ, и҆ цѣлѧ̀ всѧ́къ недꙋ́гъ и҆ всѧ́кꙋ ꙗ҆́зю въ лю́дехъ.
35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
35 Καὶ περιῆγεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὰς πόλεις πάσας καὶ τὰς κώμας διδάσκων ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς αὐτῶν καὶ κηρύσσων τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς βασιλείας καὶ θεραπεύων πᾶσαν νόσον καὶ πᾶσαν μαλακίαν ἐν τῷ λαῷ.
36 Ви́дѣвъ же наро́ды, млⷭ҇рдова ѡ҆ ни́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бѧ́хꙋ смѧте́ни и҆ ѿве́ржени, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́вцы не и҆мꙋ́щыѧ па́стырѧ.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
36 Ἰδὼν δὲ τοὺς ὄχλους ἐσπλαγχνίσθη περὶ αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἦσαν ἐκλελυμένοι καὶ ἐρριμμένοι ὡς πρόβατα μὴ ἔχοντα ποιμένα.
37 Тогда̀ гл҃а ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ свои̑мъ: жа́тва ᲂу҆́бѡ мно́га, дѣ́лателей же ма́лѡ:
37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
37 τότε λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· ὁ μὲν θερισμὸς πολύς, οἱ δὲ ἐργάται ὀλίγοι.
38 моли́тесѧ ᲂу҆̀бо гдⷭ҇и́нꙋ жа́твы, ꙗ҆́кѡ да и҆зведе́тъ дѣ́латєли на жа́твꙋ свою̀.
38 Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”
38 δεήθητε οὖν τοῦ κυρίου τοῦ θερισμοῦ ὅπως ἐκβάλῃ ἐργάτας εἰς τὸν θερισμὸν αὐτοῦ.
