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 показа́ ми чи́стꙋ рѣкꙋ̀ воды̀ живо́тныѧ, свѣ́тлꙋ ꙗ҆́кѡ крѷста́ллъ, и҆сходѧ́щꙋ ѿ прⷭ҇то́ла бж҃їѧ и҆ а҆́гнча.
1 He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,
2 Посредѣ̀ сто́гны є҆гѡ̀ и҆ по ѻ҆бапо́лы рѣкѝ дре́во живо́тное, є҆́же твори́тъ плодѡ́въ двана́десѧте, на кі́йждо мцⷭ҇ъ воздаѧ̀ пло́дъ сво́й: и҆ ли́ствїе дре́ва во и҆сцѣле́нїе ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ.
2 in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 И҆ всѧ́ка а҆на́ѳема не бꙋ́детъ ктомꙋ̀: и҆ прⷭ҇то́лъ бж҃їй и҆ а҆́гнечь бꙋ́детъ въ не́мъ, и҆ рабѝ є҆гѡ̀ послꙋ́жатъ є҆мꙋ̀,
3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him.
4 и҆ ᲂу҆́зрѧтъ лицѐ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ на челѣ́хъ и҆́хъ.
4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5 И҆ но́щи не бꙋ́детъ та́мѡ, и҆ не потре́бꙋютъ свѣ́та ѿ свѣти́льника, ни свѣ́та со́лнечнагѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ просвѣща́етъ ѧ҆̀: и҆ воцарѧ́тсѧ во вѣ́ки вѣкѡ́въ.
5 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.
6 И҆ рече́ ми: сїѧ̑ словеса̀ вѣ̑рна и҆ и҆́стинна: и҆ гдⷭь бг҃ъ ст҃ы́хъ прⷪ҇рѡ́къ посла̀ а҆́гг҃ла своего̀ показа́ти рабѡ́мъ свои̑мъ, и҆̀мже подоба́етъ бы́ти вско́рѣ.
6 He said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon.”
7 Сѐ, грѧдꙋ̀ ско́рѡ: бл҃же́нъ соблюда́ѧй словеса̀ прⷪ҇ро́чества кни́ги сеѧ̀.
7 “Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 И҆ а҆́зъ і҆ѡа́ннъ ви́дѣхъ сїѧ̑ и҆ слы́шахъ. И҆ є҆гда̀ слы́шахъ и҆ ви́дѣхъ, падо́хъ поклони́тисѧ на нѡ́гꙋ а҆́гг҃ла показꙋ́ющагѡ мѝ сїѐ:
8 Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things.
9 и҆ глаго́ла мѝ: ви́ждь, нѝ: клевре́тъ бо тво́й є҆́смь и҆ бра́тїи твоеѧ̀ прⷪ҇ро́кѡвъ и҆ соблюда́ющихъ словеса̀ кни́ги сеѧ̀: бг҃ꙋ поклони́сѧ.
9 He said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”
10 И҆ глаго́ла мѝ: не запечатлѣ́й слове́съ прⷪ҇ро́чествїѧ кни́ги сеѧ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ вре́мѧ бли́з̾ є҆́сть.
10 He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.
11 Ѡ҆би́дѧй да ѡ҆би́дитъ є҆щѐ, и҆ скве́рный да ѡ҆скверни́тсѧ є҆щѐ: и҆ првⷣный пра́вдꙋ да твори́тъ є҆щѐ: и҆ ст҃ы́й да ст҃и́тсѧ є҆щѐ.
11 He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”
12 И҆ сѐ, грѧдꙋ̀ ско́рѡ, и҆ мзда̀ моѧ̀ со мно́ю, возда́ти коемꙋ́ждо по дѣлѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀.
12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.
13 А҆́зъ є҆́смь а҆́лфа и҆ ѡ҆ме́га, нача́токъ и҆ коне́цъ, пе́рвый и҆ послѣ́днїй.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 Бл҃же́ни творѧ́щїи за́пѡвѣди є҆гѡ̀, да бꙋ́детъ ѡ҆́бласть и҆̀мъ на дре́во живо́тное, и҆ враты̀ вни́дꙋтъ во гра́дъ.
14 Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.
15 Внѣ́ же псѝ и҆ чародѣ́є, и҆ любодѣ́є и҆ ᲂу҆бі̑йцы, и҆ і҆дѡлослꙋжи́телє и҆ всѧ́къ любѧ́й и҆ творѧ́й лжꙋ̀.
15 Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 А҆́зъ і҆и҃съ посла́хъ а҆́гг҃ла моего̀ засвидѣ́тельствовати ва́мъ сїѧ̑ въ цр҃квахъ. А҆́зъ є҆́смь ко́рень и҆ ро́дъ дв҃довъ, и҆ ѕвѣзда̀ ᲂу҆́треннѧѧ и҆ денни́ца.
16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 И҆ дх҃ъ и҆ невѣ́ста глаго́лютъ: прїидѝ, и҆ слы́шѧй да глаго́летъ: прїидѝ. И҆ жа́ждѧй да прїи́детъ, и҆ хотѧ́й да прїи́метъ во́дꙋ живо́тнꙋю тꙋ́не.
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.
18 Сосвидѣ́тельствꙋю бо всѧ́комꙋ слы́шащемꙋ словеса̀ прⷪ҇ро́чества кни́ги сеѧ̀: а҆́ще кто̀ приложи́тъ къ си̑мъ, наложи́тъ бг҃ъ на него̀ ꙗ҆́звъ напи́санныхъ въ кни́зѣ се́й:
18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book.
19 и҆ а҆́ще кто̀ ѿи́метъ ѿ слове́съ кни́ги прⷪ҇ро́чествїѧ сегѡ̀, ѿи́метъ бг҃ъ ча́сть є҆гѡ̀ ѿ кни́ги живо́тныѧ, и҆ ѿ гра́да ст҃а́гѡ, и҆ напи́санныхъ въ кни́зѣ се́й.
19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
20 Гл҃етъ свидѣ́тельствꙋѧй сїѧ̑: є҆́й, грѧдꙋ̀ ско́рѡ: а҆ми́нь. Є҆́й, грѧдѝ гдⷭ҇и і҆и҃се.
20 He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus!
21 Блгⷣть гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ со всѣ́ми ва́ми. А҆ми́нь.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.

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).
And thus He forewarns us: "Behold, the Lord [cometh], and His reward is before His face, to render to every man according to his work." He exhorts us, therefore, with our whole heart to attend to this, that we be not lazy or slothful in any good work.
… easy to obtain from the Church; since the apostles, like a rich man [depositing his money] in a bank, lodged in her hands most copiously all things pertaining to the truth: so that every man, whosoever will, can draw from her the water of life. For she is the entrance to life; all others are thieves and robbers.
But said the angel, "Rise; see thou do it not: worship God, for I am thy fellow-servant, and the brethren's." An angel, then, forbade a man to fall down at his feet.

He says, "be consummated," be completed, according to that in the Apocalypse, "Let the righteous become more righteous, and let the filthy be filthy still." For the wickedness of those men appears consummate, who crucified the Son of God; but greater is theirs who will not live uprightly, and hate the precepts of truth, for whom the Son of God …
