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 Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́ша санавалла́тъ и҆ тѡві́а и҆ гиса́мъ а҆раві́йскїй и҆ про́чїи вразѝ на́ши, ꙗ҆́кѡ созда́хъ стѣ́нꙋ, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́сѧ въ ни́хъ сква́жнѧ: и҆ а҆́зъ да́же до вре́мене ѻ҆́нагѡ две́рїй не поста́вихъ во вратѣ́хъ:
1 Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it (though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),
2 и҆ посла̀ санавалла́тъ и҆ гиса́мъ ко мнѣ̀, глагѡ́люща: прїидѝ, и҆ собере́мсѧ вкꙋ́пѣ въ ве́сехъ на по́ли ѡ҆нѡ̀ (глаго́лемѣмъ). Ті́и же помышлѧ́ста мнѣ̀ сотвори́ти ѕло́е.
2 Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come! Let’s meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to harm me.
3 И҆ посла́хъ къ ни́ма послѡ́въ, глаго́лѧ: дѣ́ло вели́ко а҆́зъ творю̀ и҆ не могꙋ̀ сни́ти, да не преста́нетъ дѣ́ло: є҆гда́ же совершꙋ̀ є҆̀, взы́дꙋ къ ва́ма.
3 I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I can’t come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and come down to you?”
4 И҆ посла́ста ко мнѣ̀, ꙗ҆́коже глаго́лъ се́й, четы́рижды, и҆ посла́хъ къ ни́ма по си̑мъ.
4 They sent to me four times like this; and I answered them the same way.
5 И҆ присла̀ ко мнѣ̀ санавалла́тъ пѧ́тое ѻ҆́трока своего̀, и҆ посла́нїе ѿве́рсто въ рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ бѣ̀ напи́сано въ не́мъ:
5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me the same way the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,
6 во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ ᲂу҆слы́шано є҆́сть, и҆ гиса́мъ речѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ и҆ і҆ꙋде́є мы́слите ѿстꙋпи́ти, сегѡ̀ ра́ди ты̀ созида́еши стѣ́нꙋ, и҆ ты̀ да бꙋ́деши и҆̀мъ въ царѧ̀:
6 in which was written, “It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel. Because of that, you are building the wall. You would be their king, according to these words.
7 и҆ къ си̑мъ проро́ки поста́вилъ є҆сѝ себѣ̀, да бꙋ́деши во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ царе́мъ над̾ і҆ꙋ́дою: и҆ нн҃ѣ возвѣстѧ́тсѧ царю̀ словеса̀ сїѧ̑: и҆ сегѡ̀ ра́ди нн҃ѣ прїидѝ, да сотвори́ма совѣ́тъ вкꙋ́пѣ.
7 You have also appointed prophets to proclaim of you at Jerusalem, saying, ‘There is a king in Judah!’ Now it will be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let’s take counsel together.”
8 И҆ посла́хъ къ немꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ: не сотвори́сѧ по словесє́мъ си̑мъ, ꙗ҆́коже ты̀ глаго́леши, занѐ ѿ се́рдца твоегѡ̀ ты̀ лже́ши въ си́хъ:
8 Then I sent to him, saying, “There are no such things done as you say, but you imagine them out of your own heart.”
9 ꙗ҆́кѡ всѝ страша́тъ на́съ, глаго́люще: ѡ҆слабѣ́ютъ рꙋ́цы и҆́хъ ѿ дѣ́ла сегѡ̀, и҆ не сотвори́тсѧ: и҆ нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆крѣпи́хъ рꙋ́ки моѧ̑.
9 For they all would have made us afraid, saying, “Their hands will be weakened from the work, that it not be done.” But now, strengthen my hands.
10 И҆ а҆́зъ внидо́хъ въ до́мъ семе́а сы́на далаі́ева, сы́на метавеи́лева, и҆ то́й заключе́нъ, и҆ речѐ: да собере́мсѧ въ до́мъ бж҃їй посредѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ заключи́мъ двє́ри є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ прихо́дѧтъ но́щїю, да ᲂу҆бїю́тъ тѧ̀.
10 I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, “Let us meet together in God’s house, within the temple, and let’s shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you. Yes, in the night they will come to kill you.”
11 И҆ реко́хъ: кто́ є҆сть мꙋ́жъ, ꙗ҆ко́въ а҆́зъ, и҆ ᲂу҆бѣжи́тъ; и҆лѝ кто̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ, и҆́же вни́детъ въ до́мъ, и҆ жи́въ бꙋ́детъ; не вни́дꙋ.
11 I said, “Should a man like me flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.”
12 И҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́хъ, и҆ сѐ, бг҃ъ не посла̀ є҆гѡ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ проро́чествова сло́во на мѧ̀.
12 I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him, but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
13 И҆ тѡві́а и҆ санавалла́тъ наѧ́ста на мѧ̀ наро́дъ, да ᲂу҆страшꙋ́сѧ, и҆ сотворю̀ та́кѡ, и҆ согрѣшꙋ̀, и҆ да бꙋ́дꙋ и҆̀мъ во и҆́мѧ ѕло̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да поно́сѧтъ мѝ.
13 He was hired so that I would be afraid, do so, and sin, and that they might have material for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
14 Помѧнѝ, бж҃е, тѡві́ю и҆ санавалла́та по дѣлѡ́мъ и҆́хъ си̑мъ, и҆ нѡаді́а проро́ка и҆ про́чихъ прорѡ́къ, и҆̀же страша́хꙋ мѧ̀.
14 “Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear.”
15 И҆ соверши́сѧ стѣна̀ въ два́десѧть пѧ́тый мцⷭ҇а є҆лꙋ́ла въ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ и҆ два̀ дни̑.
15 So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days.
16 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́шаша всѝ вразѝ на́ши, и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы, и҆̀же ѡ҆́крестъ на́съ, и҆ нападѐ стра́хъ вели́къ пред̾ ѻ҆́чи и҆́хъ, и҆ позна́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а на́шегѡ соверше́но бы́сть дѣ́ло сїѐ.
16 When all our enemies heard of it, all the nations that were around us were afraid, and they lost their confidence; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.
17 И҆ во дни̑ ѡ҆́ны ѿ мно́гихъ держа́вныхъ і҆ꙋ́диныхъ посла̑нїѧ прихожда́хꙋ къ тѡві́и, и҆ тѡві̑ина (посла̑нїѧ) прихожда́хꙋ къ ни̑мъ.
17 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came to them.
18 Мно́зи бо во і҆ꙋде́и клѧ́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ зѧ́ть бѣ̀ сехені́и сы́на и҆ра́ева: и҆ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ сы́нъ є҆гѡ̀ поѧ̀ дще́рь месꙋла́ма сы́на варахі́ина въ женꙋ̀.
18 For there were many in Judah sworn to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah as wife.
19 И҆ словеса̀ є҆гѡ̀ бы́ша глаго́лющїи ко мнѣ̀, и҆ словеса̀ моѧ̑ бы́ша и҆зносѧ́щїи є҆мꙋ̀. И҆ посла́нїе посла̀ тѡві́а, да ᲂу҆страши́тъ менѐ.
19 Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
