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 ви́дѣхъ а҆́гг҃ла сходѧ́ща съ небесѐ, и҆мѣ́юща клю́чь бе́здны и҆ ᲂу҆́же вели́ко въ рꙋцѣ̀ свое́й:
1 I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
2 и҆ ꙗ҆́тъ ѕмі́ѧ, ѕмі́ѧ дре́внѧго, и҆́же є҆́сть дїа́волъ и҆ сатана̀, и҆ свѧза̀ и҆̀ на ты́сѧщꙋ лѣ́тъ,
2 He seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years,
3 и҆ въ бе́зднꙋ затворѝ є҆го̀, и҆ заключѝ є҆го̀, и҆ запечатлѣ̀ над̾ ни́мъ, да не прельсти́тъ ктомꙋ̀ ꙗ҆зы́ки, до́ндеже сконча́етсѧ ты́сѧща лѣ́тъ: и҆ по си́хъ подоба́етъ є҆мꙋ̀ ѿрѣше́нꙋ бы́ти на ма́ло вре́мѧ.
3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time.
4 И҆ ви́дѣхъ престо́лы и҆ сѣдѧ́щыѧ на ни́хъ, и҆ сꙋ́дъ да́нъ бы́сть и҆̀мъ: и҆ дꙋ́шы расте́саныхъ за свидѣ́тельство і҆и҃сово и҆ за сло́во бж҃їе, и҆̀же не поклони́шасѧ ѕвѣ́рю, ни і҆кѡ́нѣ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не прїѧ́ша начерта́нїѧ на челѣ́хъ свои́хъ и҆ на рꙋцѣ̀ свое́й. И҆ ѡ҆жи́ша и҆ воцари́шасѧ со хрⷭ҇то́мъ ты́сѧщꙋ лѣ́тъ:
4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5 про́чїи же мертвецы̀ не ѡ҆жи́ша, до́ндеже сконча́етсѧ ты́сѧща лѣ́тъ. Сѐ воскрⷭ҇нїе пе́рвое.
5 The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Бл҃же́нъ и҆ ст҃ъ, и҆́же и҆́мать ча́сть въ воскрⷭ҇нїи пе́рвѣмъ: на ни́хже сме́рть втора́ѧ не и҆́мать ѡ҆́бласти, но бꙋ́дꙋтъ і҆ере́є бг҃ꙋ и҆ хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀ и҆ воцарѧ́тсѧ съ ни́мъ ты́сѧщꙋ лѣ́тъ.
6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.
7 И҆ є҆гда̀ сконча́етсѧ ты́сѧща лѣ́тъ, разрѣше́нъ бꙋ́детъ сатана̀ ѿ темни́цы своеѧ̀ и҆ и҆зы́детъ прельсти́ти ꙗ҆зы́ки сꙋ́щыѧ на четы́рехъ ᲂу҆́глѣхъ землѝ, гѡ́га и҆ магѡ́га, собра́ти и҆̀хъ на бра́нь, и҆́хже число̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ песо́къ морскі́й.
7 And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison
8 И҆ взыдо́ша на широтꙋ̀ землѝ и҆ ѡ҆быдо́ша ст҃ы́хъ ста́нъ и҆ гра́дъ возлю́бленный.
8 and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
9 И҆ сни́де ѻ҆́гнь ѿ бг҃а съ небесѐ и҆ поѧдѐ ѧ҆̀:
9 They went up over the width of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God and devoured them.
10 и҆ дїа́волъ льстѧ́й и҆̀хъ вве́рженъ бꙋ́детъ въ є҆́зеро ѻ҆́гненно и҆ жꙋ́пельно, и҆дѣ́же ѕвѣ́рь и҆ лжи́вый проро́къ: и҆ мꙋ́чени бꙋ́дꙋтъ де́нь и҆ но́щь во вѣ́ки вѣкѡ́въ.
10 The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
11 И҆ ви́дѣхъ прⷭ҇то́лъ вели́къ бѣ́лъ и҆ сѣдѧ́щаго на не́мъ, є҆гѡ́же ѿ лица̀ бѣжа̀ не́бо и҆ землѧ̀, и҆ мѣ́сто не ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ и҆̀мъ.
11 I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away. There was found no place for them.
12 И҆ ви́дѣхъ мертвецы̀ ма̑лыѧ и҆ вели̑кїѧ стоѧ́щѧ пред̾ бг҃омъ, и҆ кни̑ги разгнꙋ́шасѧ: и҆ и҆́на кни́га ѿве́рзесѧ, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть живо́тнаѧ: и҆ сꙋ́дъ прїѧ́ша мертвецы̀ ѿ напи́саныхъ въ кни́гахъ, по дѣлѡ́мъ и҆́хъ.
12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 И҆ дадѐ мо́ре мертвецы̀ своѧ̑, и҆ сме́рть и҆ а҆́дъ да́ста своѧ̑ мертвецы̀: и҆ сꙋ́дъ прїѧ́ша по дѣлѡ́мъ свои̑мъ,
13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.
14 и҆ сме́рть и҆ а҆́дъ вве́ржєна бы́ста въ є҆́зеро ѻ҆́гненное. И҆ сѐ є҆́сть втора́ѧ сме́рть.
14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
15 И҆ и҆́же не ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ въ кни́зѣ живо́тнѣй напи́санъ, вве́рженъ бꙋ́детъ въ є҆́зеро ѻ҆́гненное.
15 If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

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).
… them sit down, and minister to them; or if this be in the second, or it be in the third, blessed are they." Again John also says the very same in the Apocalypse: "Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection." Then, too, Isaiah has declared the time when these events shall occur; he says: "And …
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." Those who, on the strength of this passage, have suspected that the first resurrection is future and bodily, have been moved, among …

For after the times of the kingdom, he says, "I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat upon it, from whose face the earth fled away, and the heavens; and there was no more place for them." And he sets forth, too, the things connected with the general resurrection and the judgment, mentioning "the dead, great and small." …
do not ye judge them that are within?" "And the souls," says John, "of those who were slain for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God,"--understanding what he afterwards says, "reigned with Christ a thousand years," --that is, the souls of the martyrs not yet restored to their bodies.

Moreover," he says, "the book of life was opened, and the dead were judged out of those things that were written in the books, according to their works; and death and hell were sent into the lake of fire, the second death." Now this is what is called Gehenna, which the Lord styled eternal fire.
