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 прїи́де є҆ди́нъ ѿ седмѝ а҆́гг҃лъ и҆мꙋ́щихъ се́дмь фїа́лъ, и҆ глаго́ла со мно́ю, глаго́лѧ мѝ: прїидѝ, да покажꙋ́ ти сꙋ́дъ любодѣ́йцы вели́кїѧ, сѣдѧ́щїѧ на вода́хъ мно́гихъ:

1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,

2 съ не́юже любодѣ́ѧша ца́рїе зе́мстїи, и҆ ᲂу҆пи́шасѧ живꙋ́щїи на землѝ ѿ вїна̀ любодѣѧ́нїѧ є҆ѧ̀.

2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. Those who dwell on the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”

3 И҆ веде́ мѧ въ пꙋ́сто мѣ́сто дꙋ́хомъ: и҆ ви́дѣхъ женꙋ̀ сѣдѧ́щꙋ на ѕвѣ́ри червле́нѣ, и҆спо́лненѣмъ и҆ме́нъ хꙋ́льныхъ, и҆́же и҆мѣ́ѧше гла́въ се́дмь и҆ рогѡ́въ де́сѧть.

3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

4 И҆ жена̀ бѣ̀ ѡ҆блечена̀ въ порфѵ́рꙋ и҆ червлени́цꙋ, и҆ позлащена̀ зла́томъ и҆ ка́менїемъ драги́мъ и҆ би́серомъ, и҆мꙋ́щи ча́шꙋ зла́тꙋ въ рꙋцѣ̀ свое́й по́лнꙋ ме́рзости и҆ скве́рнъ любодѣѧ́нїѧ є҆ѧ̀:

4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth.

5 и҆ на челѣ̀ є҆ѧ̀ напи́сано и҆́мѧ: та́йна, вавѷлѡ́нъ вели́кїй, ма́ти любодѣ́йцамъ и҆ ме́рзостемъ зє́мскимъ.

5 And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

6 И҆ ви́дѣхъ женꙋ̀ пїѧ́нꙋ кровьмѝ ст҃ы́хъ и҆ кровьмѝ свидѣ́телей і҆и҃совыхъ, и҆ диви́хсѧ, ви́дѣвъ ю҆̀, ди́вомъ вели́кимъ.

6 I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

7 И҆ рече́ ми а҆́гг҃лъ: что̀ диви́шисѧ; а҆́зъ тѝ рекꙋ̀ та́йнꙋ жены̀ (сеѧ̀) и҆ ѕвѣ́рѧ носѧ́щагѡ ю҆̀, се́дмь гла́въ и҆мꙋ́ща и҆ рогѡ́въ де́сѧть.

7 The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

8 Ѕвѣ́рь, є҆го́же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ, бѣ̀, и҆ нѣ́сть, и҆ и҆́мать взы́ти ѿ бе́здны, и҆ въ па́гꙋбꙋ по́йдетъ: и҆ ᲂу҆дивѧ́тсѧ живꙋ́щїи на землѝ, и҆̀мже и҆мена̀ не напи̑сана сꙋ́ть въ кни́гꙋ живо́тнꙋю ѿ сложе́нїѧ мі́ра, ви́дѧще, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕвѣ́рь бѣ̀, и҆ нѣ́сть, и҆ преста̀.

8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.

9 Здѣ̀ ᲂу҆́мъ, и҆́же и҆́мать мꙋ́дрость. Се́дмь гла́въ го́ры сꙋ́ть се́дмь, и҆дѣ́же жена̀ сѣди́тъ на ни́хъ,

9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

10 и҆ ца́рїе се́дмь сꙋ́ть: пѧ́ть и҆́хъ па́ло, и҆ є҆ди́нъ є҆́сть, (а҆) дрꙋгі́й є҆щѐ не прїи́де: и҆ є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ, ма́лѡ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆́сть пребы́ти.

10 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.

11 И҆ ѕвѣ́рь, и҆́же бѣ̀ и҆ нѣ́сть, и҆ то́й ѻ҆смы́й є҆́сть, и҆ ѿ седми́хъ є҆́сть, и҆ въ па́гꙋбꙋ и҆́детъ.

11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.

12 И҆ де́сѧть рогѡ́въ, ꙗ҆́же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ, де́сѧть царе́й сꙋ́ть, и҆̀же ца́рства є҆щѐ не прїѧ́ша, но ѡ҆́бласть ꙗ҆́кѡ ца́рїе на є҆ди́нъ ча́съ прїи́мꙋтъ со ѕвѣ́ремъ.

12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.

13 Сі́и є҆ди́нꙋ во́лю и҆́мꙋтъ, и҆ си́лꙋ и҆ ѡ҆́бласть свою̀ ѕвѣ́рю дадꙋ́тъ:

13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

14 сі́и со а҆́гнцемъ бра́нь сотворѧ́тъ, и҆ а҆́гнецъ побѣди́тъ ѧ҆̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь господє́мъ є҆́сть и҆ цр҃ь царє́мъ: и҆ сꙋ́щїи съ ни́мъ зва́ннїи и҆ и҆збра́ннїи и҆ вѣ́рни.

14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

15 И҆ глаго́ла мѝ: во́ды, ꙗ҆̀же є҆сѝ ви́дѣлъ, и҆дѣ́же любодѣ́йца сѣди́тъ, лю́дїе и҆ наро́ди сꙋ́ть, и҆ племена̀ и҆ ꙗ҆зы́цы.

15 He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.

16 И҆ де́сѧть рогѡ́въ, ꙗ҆̀же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ на ѕвѣ́ри, сі́и любодѣ́йцꙋ возненави́дѧтъ, и҆ запꙋстѣ́вшꙋ сотворѧ́тъ ю҆̀ и҆ на́гꙋ, и҆ пло́ть є҆ѧ̀ снѣдѧ́тъ, и҆ сожгꙋ́тъ ю҆̀ ѻ҆гне́мъ:

16 The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.

17 бг҃ъ бо да́лъ є҆́сть въ сердца̀ и҆́хъ, сотвори́ти во́лю є҆гѡ̀, и҆ сотвори́ти є҆ди́нꙋ во́лю, и҆ да́ти ца́рство своѐ ѕвѣ́рю, до́ндеже сконча́ютсѧ гл҃го́лы бж҃їи.

17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.

18 И҆ жена̀, ю҆́же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ, гра́дъ є҆́сть вели́кїй, и҆́же и҆́мать ца́рство над̾ цари̑ земны́ми.

18 The woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”

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 17:15 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapter IV — 1-18)
For that peoples are signified under the name of waters the Apocalypse of John clearly indicates to us, where, after he had been shown many waters, and he had asked what they were, was answered that they were peoples. That water, then--namely, that people--was shut in by the five books of Moses, as by five porches.
