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 И҆ ста́хъ на песцѣ̀ морстѣ́мъ: и҆ ви́дѣхъ и҆з̾ мо́рѧ ѕвѣ́рѧ и҆сходѧ́ща, и҆мꙋ́ща гла́въ се́дмь и҆ рогѡ́въ де́сѧть, и҆ на ро́зѣхъ є҆гѡ̀ вѣнє́цъ де́сѧть, а҆ на глава́хъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆мена̀ хꙋ̑льна.

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

2 Ѕвѣ́рь, є҆го́же ви́дѣхъ, бѣ̀ подо́бенъ ры́си, и҆ но́зѣ є҆мꙋ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ медвѣ̑ди, и҆ ᲂу҆ста̀ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆ста̀ львѡ́ва: и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ѕмі́й си́лꙋ свою̀ и҆ престо́лъ сво́й и҆ ѡ҆́бласть вели́кꙋю.

2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

3 И҆ ви́дѣхъ є҆ди́нꙋ ѿ гла́въ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ заколе́нꙋ въ сме́рть, и҆ ꙗ҆́зва сме́рти є҆гѡ̀ и҆сцѣлѣ̀. И҆ чꙋди́сѧ всѧ̀ землѧ̀ в̾слѣ́дъ ѕвѣ́рѧ, и҆ поклони́шасѧ ѕмі́ю, и҆́же дадѐ ѡ҆́бласть ѕвѣ́рю,

3 One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast.

4 и҆ поклони́шасѧ ѕвѣ́рю, глаго́люще: кто̀ подо́бенъ ѕвѣ́рю и҆ кто̀ мо́жетъ ра́товатисѧ съ ни́мъ;

4 They worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

5 И҆ дана̑ бы́ша є҆мꙋ̀ ᲂу҆ста̀ глагѡ́люща вели̑ка и҆ хꙋ̑льна, и҆ дана̀ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆́бласть твори́ти мцⷭ҇ъ четы́редесѧть два̀.

5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.

6 И҆ ѿве́рзе ᲂу҆ста̀ своѧ̑ въ хꙋле́нїе къ бг҃ꙋ, хꙋ́лити и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ селе́нїе є҆гѡ̀ и҆ живꙋ́щыѧ на нб҃сѝ.

6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, his dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven.

7 И҆ дано̀ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ бра́нь твори́ти со ст҃ы́ми и҆ побѣди́ти ѧ҆̀: и҆ дана̀ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆́бласть на всѧ́цѣмъ колѣ́нѣ (люді́й) и҆ на ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ и҆ племенѣ́хъ.

7 It was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.

8 И҆ покло́нѧтсѧ є҆мꙋ̀ всѝ живꙋ́щїи на землѝ, и҆̀мже не напи̑сана сꙋ́ть и҆мена̀ въ кни́гахъ живо́тныхъ а҆́гнца заколе́нагѡ ѿ сложе́нїѧ мі́ра.

8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

9 А҆́ще кто̀ и҆́мать ᲂу҆́хо, да слы́шитъ.

9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

10 И҆́же а҆́ще въ плѣне́нїе веде́тъ, въ плѣне́нїе по́йдетъ: а҆́ще кто̀ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ ᲂу҆бїе́тъ, подоба́етъ є҆мꙋ̀ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ ᲂу҆бїе́нꙋ бы́ти. Здѣ̀ є҆́сть терпѣ́нїе и҆ вѣ́ра ст҃ы́хъ.

10 If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

11 И҆ ви́дѣхъ и҆́наго ѕвѣ́рѧ восходѧ́щаго ѿ землѝ, и҆ и҆мѣ́ѧше рѡ́га два̀, подѡ́бна а҆́гнчымъ, и҆ глаго́лаше ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕмі́й.

11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.

12 И҆ вла́сть пе́рвагѡ ѕвѣ́рѧ всю̀ творѧ́ше пред̾ ни́мъ: и҆ творѧ́ше зе́млю и҆ всѧ̑ живꙋ́щыѧ на не́й поклони́тисѧ пе́рвомꙋ ѕвѣ́рю, є҆мꙋ́же и҆сцѣле́на бы́сть ꙗ҆́зва сме́ртнаѧ:

12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.

13 и҆ сотворѝ чꙋдеса̀ вели̑ка, да и҆ ѻ҆́гнь сотвори́тъ сходи́ти съ небесѐ на зе́млю пред̾ человѣ̑ки.

13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people.

14 И҆ льсти́тъ живꙋ́щыѧ на землѝ, ра́ди зна́менїй, ꙗ҆̀же дана̑ бы́ша є҆мꙋ̀ пред̾ ѕвѣ́ремъ твори́ти, глаго́лѧ живꙋ́щымъ на землѝ, сотвори́ти ѡ҆́бразъ ѕвѣ́рю, и҆́же и҆́мать ꙗ҆́звꙋ ѻ҆рꙋ́жнꙋю и҆ жи́въ бы́сть.

14 He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.

15 И҆ дано̀ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ да́ти дꙋ́хъ ѡ҆́бразꙋ ѕвѣри́нꙋ, да проглаго́летъ і҆кѡ́на ѕвѣри́на и҆ сотвори́тъ, да и҆̀же а҆́ще не покло́нѧтсѧ ѡ҆́бразꙋ ѕвѣри́номꙋ, ᲂу҆бїе́ни бꙋ́дꙋтъ.

15 It was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn’t worship the image of the beast to be killed.

16 И҆ сотвори́тъ всѧ̑ ма̑лыѧ и҆ вели̑кїѧ, бога̑тыѧ и҆ ᲂу҆бѡ́гїѧ, свобѡ́дныѧ и҆ рабѡ́тныѧ, да да́стъ и҆̀мъ начерта́нїе на деснѣ́й рꙋцѣ̀ и҆́хъ и҆лѝ на челѣ́хъ и҆́хъ,

16 He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands or on their foreheads;

17 да никто́же возмо́жетъ ни кꙋпи́ти, ни прода́ти, то́кмѡ кто̀ и҆́мать начерта́нїе, и҆лѝ и҆́мѧ ѕвѣ́рѧ, и҆лѝ число̀ и҆́мене є҆гѡ̀.

17 and that no one would be able to buy or to sell unless he has that mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

18 Здѣ̀ мꙋ́дрость є҆́сть. И҆́же и҆́мать ᲂу҆́мъ, да почте́тъ число̀ ѕвѣри́но: число́ бо человѣ́ческо є҆́сть, и҆ число̀ є҆гѡ̀ ше́сть сѡ́тъ шестьдесѧ́тъ ше́сть.

18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.

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).

Quotes verse 13:2 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Chapters XXVII–XXVIII)
Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints." After this he likewise describes his armour-bearer, whom he also terms a false prophet: "He spake as a dragon, and exercised all the power of the first beast in his sight, and caused the earth, and those that dwell therein, to adore the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Quotes verse 13:8 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXIX)
"There shall give consent to him all they that have not been written in the book of life." So then without doubt they will not consent that have been written.
