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 Глаго́лю ᲂу҆̀бо: є҆да̀ ѿри́нꙋ бг҃ъ лю́ди своѧ̑; Да не бꙋ́детъ. И҆́бо и҆ а҆́зъ і҆и҃льтѧнинъ є҆́смь, ѿ сѣ́мене а҆враа́млѧ, колѣ́на венїамі́нова.
1 DIGO pues: ¿Ha desechado Dios á su pueblo? En ninguna manera. Porque también yo soy Israelita, de la simiente de Abraham, de la tribu de Benjamín.
1 I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Не ѿри́нꙋ бг҃ъ люді́й свои́хъ, и҆̀хже пре́жде разꙋмѣ̀. И҆лѝ не вѣ́сте, ѡ҆ и҆лїѝ что̀ глаго́летъ писа́нїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ приповѣ́дꙋетъ бг҃ови на і҆и҃лѧ, глаго́лѧ:
2 No ha desechado Dios á su pueblo, al cual antes conoció. ¿O no sabéis qué dice de Elías la Escritura? cómo hablando con Dios contra Israel [dice]:
2 God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
3 гдⷭи, прⷪ҇ро́ки твоѧ̑ и҆зби́ша и҆ ѻ҆лтари̑ твоѧ̑ раскопа́ша: и҆ а҆́зъ ѡ҆ста́хъ є҆ди́нъ, и҆ и҆́щꙋтъ дꙋшѝ моеѧ̀, и҆з̾ѧ́ти ю҆̀.
3 Señor, á tus profetas han muerto, y tus altares han derruído; y yo he quedado solo, y procuran matarme.
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
4 Но что̀ гл҃етъ є҆мꙋ̀ бжⷭ҇твенный ѿвѣ́тъ; Ѡ҆ста́вихъ себѣ̀ се́дмь ты́сѧщъ мꙋже́й, и҆̀же не преклони́ша колѣ́на пред̾ ваа́ломъ.
4 Mas ¿qué le dice la divina respuesta? He dejado para mí siete mil hombres, que no han doblado la rodilla delante de Baal.
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 Та́кѡ ᲂу҆̀бо и҆ въ нн҃ѣшнее вре́мѧ ѡ҆ста́нокъ по и҆збра́нїю блгⷣти бы́сть.
5 Así también, aun en este tiempo han quedado reliquias por la elección de gracia.
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 А҆́ще ли по блгⷣти, то̀ не ѿ дѣ́лъ: занѐ блгⷣть ᲂу҆жѐ не быва́етъ блгⷣть. А҆́ще ли ѿ дѣ́лъ, ктомꙋ̀ нѣ́сть блгⷣть: занѐ дѣ́ло ᲂу҆жѐ нѣ́сть дѣ́ло.
6 Y si por gracia, luego no por las obras; de otra manera la gracia ya no es gracia. Y si por las obras, ya no es gracia; de otra manera la obra ya no es obra.
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
7 Что̀ ᲂу҆̀бо; Є҆гѡ́же и҆ска́ше і҆и҃ль, сегѡ̀ не полꙋчѝ, а҆ и҆збра́нїе полꙋчѝ: про́чїи же ѡ҆слѣпи́шасѧ,
7 ¿Qué pues? Lo que buscaba Israel aquello no ha alcanzado; mas la elección lo ha alcanzado: y los demás fueron endurecidos;
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
8 ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано: дадѐ и҆̀мъ бг҃ъ дꙋ́хъ ᲂу҆миле́нїѧ, ѻ҆́чи не ви́дѣти и҆ ᲂу҆́шы не слы́шати, да́же до дне́шнѧгѡ днѐ.
8 Como está escrito: Dióles Dios espíritu de remordimiento, ojos con que no vean, y oídos con que no oigan, hasta el día de hoy.
8 According as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.”
9 И҆ дв҃дъ глаго́летъ: да бꙋ́детъ трапе́за и҆́хъ въ сѣ́ть и҆ въ ло́въ, и҆ въ собла́знъ и҆ въ воздаѧ́нїе и҆̀мъ:
9 Y David dice: Séales vuelta su mesa en lazo, y en red, y en tropezadero, y en paga:
9 David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
10 да помрача́тсѧ ѻ҆́чи и҆́хъ є҆́же не ви́дѣти, и҆ хребе́тъ и҆́хъ вы́нꙋ слѧца́й.
10 Sus ojos sean obscurecidos para que no vean, y agóbiales siempre el espinazo.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
11 Глаго́лю ᲂу҆̀бо: є҆да̀ согрѣши́ша, да ѿпадꙋ́тъ; Да не бꙋ́детъ. Но тѣ́хъ паде́нїемъ спⷭ҇нїе ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ, во є҆́же раздражи́ти и҆̀хъ.
11 Digo pues: ¿Han tropezado para que cayesen? En ninguna manera; mas por el tropiezo de ellos [vino] la salud á los Gentiles, para que fuesen provocados á celos.
11 I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
12 А҆́ще ли же прегрѣше́нїе и҆́хъ бога́тство мі́ра, и҆ ѿпаде́нїе и҆́хъ бога́тство ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ: кольмѝ па́че и҆сполне́нїе и҆́хъ;
12 Y si la falta de ellos es la riqueza del mundo, y el menoscabo de ellos la riqueza de los Gentiles, ¿cuánto más el henchimiento de ellos?
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
13 Ва́мъ бо глаго́лю ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ: поне́же ᲂу҆́бѡ є҆́смь а҆́зъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ а҆пⷭ҇лъ, слꙋ́жбꙋ мою̀ прославлѧ́ю.
13 Porque á vosotros hablo, Gentiles. Por cuanto pues, yo soy apóstol de los Gentiles, mi ministerio honro,
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
14 А҆́ще ка́кѡ раздражꙋ̀ мою̀ пло́ть, и҆ спасꙋ̀ нѣ̑кїѧ ѿ ни́хъ;
14 Por si en alguna manera provocase á celos á mi carne, é hiciese salvos á algunos de ellos.
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
15 А҆́ще бо ѿложе́нїе и҆́хъ, примире́нїе мі́рꙋ, что̀ прїѧ́тїе, ра́звѣ жи́знь и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ;
15 Porque si el extrañamiento de ellos [es] la reconciliación del mundo, ¿qué [será] el recibimiento [de ellos], sino vida de los muertos?
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
16 А҆́ще ли нача́токъ ст҃ъ, то̀ и҆ примѣше́нїе: и҆ а҆́ще ко́рень ст҃ъ, то̀ и҆ вѣ̑тви.
16 Y si el primer fruto es santo, también lo es el todo, y si la raíz es santa, también lo son las ramas.
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 А҆́ще ли нѣ̑кїѧ ѿ вѣ́твей ѿломи́шасѧ, ты́ же, ди́вїѧ ма́слина сы́й, прицѣпи́лсѧ є҆сѝ въ ни́хъ, и҆ прича́стникъ ко́рене и҆ ма́сти ма́слинныѧ сотвори́лсѧ є҆сѝ,
17 Que si algunas de las ramas fueron quebradas, y tú, siendo acebuche, has sido ingerido en lugar de ellas, y has sido hecho participante de la raíz y de la grosura de la oliva;
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,
18 не хвали́сѧ на вѣ̑тви: а҆́ще ли же хва́лишисѧ, не ты̀ ко́рень но́сиши, но ко́рень тебѐ.
18 No te jactes contra las ramas; y si te jactas, [sabe que] no sustentas tú á la raíz, sino la raíz á ti.
18 don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
19 Рече́ши ᲂу҆̀бо: ѿломи́шасѧ вѣ̑тви, да а҆́зъ прицѣплю́сѧ.
19 Pues las ramas, dirás, fueron quebradas para que yo fuese ingerido.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
20 До́брѣ: невѣ́рїемъ ѿломи́шасѧ, ты́ же вѣ́рою стои́ши: не высокомꙋ́дрствꙋй, но бо́йсѧ.
20 Bien: por su incredulidad fueron quebradas, mas tú por la fe estás en pie. No te ensoberbezcas, antes teme,
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
21 А҆́ще бо бг҃ъ є҆сте́ственныхъ вѣ́твей не пощадѣ̀, да не ка́кѡ и҆ тебѐ не пощади́тъ.
21 Que si Dios no perdonó á las ramas naturales, á ti tampoco no perdone.
21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
22 Ви́ждь ᲂу҆̀бо бл҃гость и҆ непощадѣ́нїе бж҃їе: на ѿпа́дшихъ ᲂу҆́бѡ непощадѣ́нїе, а҆ на тебѣ̀ бл҃гость бж҃їѧ, а҆́ще пребꙋ́деши въ бл҃гости: а҆́ще ли же нѝ, то̀ и҆ ты̀ ѿсѣ́ченъ бꙋ́деши.
22 Mira, pues, la bondad y la severidad de Dios: la severidad ciertamente en los que cayeron; mas la bondad para contigo, si permanecieres en la bondad; pues de otra manera tú también serás cortado.
22 See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
23 И҆ ѻ҆ни́ же, а҆́ще не пребꙋ́дꙋтъ въ невѣ́рствїи, прицѣпѧ́тсѧ: си́ленъ бо є҆́сть бг҃ъ па́ки прицѣпи́ти и҆̀хъ.
23 Y aun ellos, si no permanecieren en incredulidad, serán ingeridos; que poderoso es Dios para volverlos á ingerir.
23 They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 А҆́ще бо ты̀ ѿ є҆сте́ственныѧ ѿсѣ́ченъ ди́вїѧ ма́слины, и҆ чрез̾ є҆стество̀ прицѣпи́лсѧ є҆сѝ къ до́брѣй ма́слинѣ: кольмѝ па́че сі́и, и҆̀же по є҆стествꙋ̀, прицѣпѧ́тсѧ свое́й ма́слинѣ;
24 Porque si tú eres cortado del natural acebuche, y contra natura fuiste ingerido en la buena oliva, ¿cuánto más éstos, que son las [ramas] naturales, serán ingeridos en su oliva?
24 For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 Не бо̀ хощꙋ̀ ва́съ не вѣ́дѣти та́йны сеѧ̀, бра́тїе, да не бꙋ́дете ѡ҆ себѣ̀ мꙋ́дри, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆слѣпле́нїе ѿ ча́сти і҆и҃леви бы́сть, до́ндеже и҆сполне́нїе ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ вни́детъ,
25 Porque no quiero, hermanos, que ignoréis este misterio, para que no seáis acerca de vosotros mismos arrogantes: que el endurecimiento en parte ha acontecido en Israel, hasta que haya entrado la plenitud de los Gentiles;
25 For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
26 и҆ та́кѡ ве́сь і҆и҃ль спасе́тсѧ, ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано: прїи́детъ ѿ сїѡ́на и҆збавлѧ́ѧй, и҆ ѿврати́тъ нече́стїе ѿ і҆а́кѡва:
26 Y luego todo Israel será salvo; como está escrito: Vendrá de Sión el Libertador, que quitará de Jacob la impiedad;
26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 и҆ се́й и҆̀мъ ѿ менє̀ завѣ́тъ, є҆гда̀ ѿимꙋ̀ грѣхѝ и҆́хъ.
27 Y este es mi pacto con ellos, cuando quitare su pecados.
27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
28 По бл҃говѣствова́нїю ᲂу҆́бѡ, вразѝ ва́съ ра́ди: по и҆збра́нїю же, возлю́блени ѻ҆тє́цъ ра́ди.
28 Así que, cuanto al evangelio, son enemigos por causa de vosotros: mas cuanto á la elección, son muy amados por causa de los padres.
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
29 Нераска̑ѧнна бо дарова̑нїѧ и҆ зва́нїе бж҃їе.
29 Porque sin arrepentimiento son las mercedes y la vocación de Dios.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30 Ꙗ҆́коже бо и҆ вы̀ и҆ногда̀ проти́вистесѧ бг҃ови, нн҃ѣ же поми́ловани бы́сте си́хъ противле́нїемъ:
30 Porque como también vosotros en algún tiempo no creísteis á Dios, mas ahora habéis alcanzado misericordia por la incredulidad de ellos;
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
31 та́кожде и҆ сі́и нн҃ѣ проти́вишасѧ ва́шей ми́лости, да и҆ ті́и поми́ловани бꙋ́дꙋтъ.
31 Así también éstos ahora no han creído, para que, por la misericordia para con vosotros, ellos también alcancen misericordia.
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
32 Затвори́ бо бг҃ъ всѣ́хъ въ противле́нїе, да всѣ́хъ поми́лꙋетъ.
32 Porque Dios encerró á todos en incredulidad, para tener misericordia de todos.
32 For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.
33 Ѽ, глꙋбина̀ бога́тства и҆ премꙋ́дрости и҆ ра́зꙋма бж҃їѧ! ꙗ҆́кѡ неиспы́тани сꙋ́дове є҆гѡ̀, и҆ неизслѣ́довани пꙋтїѐ є҆гѡ̀.
33 ¡Oh profundidad de las riquezas de la sabiduría y de la ciencia de Dios! ¡Cuán incomprensibles son sus juicios, é inescrutables sus caminos!
33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
34 Кто̀ бо̀ разꙋмѣ̀ ᲂу҆́мъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆лѝ кто̀ совѣ́тникъ є҆мꙋ̀ бы́сть;
34 Porque ¿quién entendió la mente del Señor? ¿ó quién fué su consejero?
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
35 И҆лѝ кто̀ пре́жде дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ возда́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀;
35 ¿O quién le dió á él primero, para que le sea pagado?
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
36 Ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆з̾ тогѡ̀ и҆ тѣ́мъ и҆ въ не́мъ всѧ́чєскаѧ. Томꙋ̀ сла́ва во вѣ́ки. А҆ми́нь.
36 Porque de él, y por él, y en él, son todas las cosas. A él sea gloria por siglos. Amén.
36 For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! 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).
He had said that God did not cast off His people; and to show in what sense He had not cast them off, he takes refuge in the Prophets again.

And that the Saviour received first-fruits of those whom He was to save, Paul declared when he said, "And if the first-fruits be holy, the lump is also holy," teaching that the expression "first-fruits" denoted that which is spiritual, but that "the lump" meant us, that is, the animal Church, the lump of which they say He assumed, and blended …
What was it that Thou didst then, O my God, and how unsearchable are the depths of Thy judgments! For when, sore sick of a fever, he long lay unconscious in a death-sweat, and all despaired of his recovery, he was baptized without his knowledge; myself meanwhile little caring, presuming that his soul would retain rather what it had imbibed …

"But yet Paul," one may say, "allows them, saying on this wise, As touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.'" But tell me, when, and of what things was he discoursing, and to whom?

Thou art transplanted henceforth among the spiritual olive-trees, being grafted from the wild into the good olive-tree, from sins into righteousness, from pollutions into purity.
