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 И҆́стинꙋ глаго́лю ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀, не лгꙋ̀, послꙋшествꙋ́ющей мѝ со́вѣсти мое́й дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ,
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
1 Ἀλήθειαν λέγω ἐν Χριστῷ, οὐ ψεύδομαι, συμμαρτυρούσης μοι τῆς συνειδήσεώς μου ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ,
2 ꙗ҆́кѡ ско́рбь мѝ є҆́сть ве́лїѧ и҆ непрестаю́щаѧ болѣ́знь се́рдцꙋ моемꙋ̀:
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
2 ὅτι λύπη μοί ἐστι μεγάλη καὶ ἀδιάλειπτος ὀδύνη τῇ καρδίᾳ μου.
3 моли́лъ бы́хъ сѧ бо са́мъ а҆́зъ ѿлꙋче́нъ бы́ти ѿ хрⷭ҇та̀ по бра́тїи мое́й, сро́дницѣхъ мои́хъ по пло́ти,
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
3 ηὐχόμην γὰρ αὐτὸς ἐγὼ ἀνάθεμα εἶναι ἀπὸ τοῦ Χριστοῦ ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου, τῶν συγγενῶν μου κατὰ σάρκα,
4 и҆̀же сꙋ́ть і҆и҃лїте, и҆́хже всн҃овле́нїе и҆ сла́ва, и҆ завѣ́ти и҆ законоположе́нїе, и҆ слꙋже́нїе и҆ ѡ҆бѣтова̑нїѧ:
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
4 οἵτινές εἰσιν Ἰσραηλῖται, ὧν ἡ υἱοθεσία καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ αἱ διαθῆκαι καὶ ἡ νομοθεσία καὶ ἡ λατρεία καὶ αἱ ἐπαγγελίαι,
5 и҆́хже ѻ҆тцы̀, и҆ ѿ ни́хже хрⷭ҇то́съ по пло́ти, сы́й над̾ всѣ́ми бг҃ъ блгⷭ҇ве́нъ во вѣ́ки, а҆ми́нь.
5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.
5 ὧν οἱ πατέρες, καὶ ἐξ ὧν ὁ Χριστὸς τὸ κατὰ σάρκα, ὁ ὢν ἐπὶ πάντων Θεὸς εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας· ἀμήν.
6 Не та́коже, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿпадѐ сло́во бж҃їе: не вси́ бо сꙋ́щїи ѿ і҆и҃лѧ, сі́и і҆и҃ль,
6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
6 Οὐχ οἷον δὲ ὅτι ἐκπέπτωκεν ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ. οὐ γὰρ πάντες οἱ ἐξ Ἰσραήλ, οὗτοι Ἰσραήλ,
7 ни занѐ сꙋ́ть сѣ́мѧ а҆враа́мле, всѝ ча̑да: но во і҆саа́цѣ, речѐ, нарече́тсѧ тѝ сѣ́мѧ.
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
7 οὐδ᾽ ὅτι εἰσὶ σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ, πάντες τέκνα, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν Ἰσαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα·
8 Си́рѣчь, не ча̑да плотска̑ѧ, сїѧ̑ ча̑да бж҃їѧ: но ча̑да ѡ҆бѣтова́нїѧ причита́ютсѧ въ сѣ́мѧ.
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.
8 τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν οὐ τὰ τέκνα τῆς σαρκὸς ταῦτα τέκνα τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀλλὰ τὰ τέκνα τῆς ἐπαγγελίας λογίζεται εἰς σπέρμα.
9 Ѡ҆бѣтова́нїѧ бо сло́во сїѐ: на сїѐ вре́мѧ прїидꙋ̀, и҆ бꙋ́детъ са́ррѣ сы́нъ.
9 For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
9 ἐπαγγελίας γὰρ ὁ λόγος οὗτος· κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον ἐλεύσομαι καὶ ἔσται τῇ Σάρρᾳ υἱός.
10 Не то́чїю же, но и҆ реве́кка ѿ є҆ди́нагѡ ло́жа і҆саа́ка ѻ҆тца̀ на́шегѡ и҆мꙋ́щи:
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
10 οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ Ῥεβέκκα ἐξ ἑνὸς κοίτην ἔχουσα, Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν·
11 є҆ще́ бо не ро́ждшымсѧ, ни сотвори́вшымъ что̀ бл҃го и҆лѝ ѕло̀, да по и҆збра́нїю предложе́нїе бж҃їе пребꙋ́детъ
11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
11 μήπω γὰρ γεννηθέντων μηδὲ πραξάντων τι ἀγαθὸν ἢ κακόν, ἵνα ἡ κατ᾽ ἐκλογὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ πρόθεσις μένῃ, οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκ τοῦ καλοῦντος,
12 не ѿ дѣ́лъ, но ѿ призыва́ющагѡ, рече́сѧ є҆́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ бо́лїй порабо́таетъ ме́ньшемꙋ,
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
12 ἐρρέθη αὐτῇ ὅτι ὁ μείζων δουλεύσει τῷ ἐλάσσονι,
13 ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано: і҆а́кѡва возлюби́хъ, и҆са́ѵа же возненави́дѣхъ.
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
13 καθὼς γέγραπται· τὸν Ἰακὼβ ἠγάπησα, τὸν δὲ Ἠσαῦ ἐμίσησα.
14 Что̀ ᲂу҆̀бо рече́мъ; Є҆да̀ непра́вда ᲂу҆ бг҃а; Да не бꙋ́детъ.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
14 Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν; μὴ ἀδικία παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ; μὴ γένοιτο.
15 Мѡѷсе́ови бо гл҃етъ: поми́лꙋю, є҆го́же а҆́ще поми́лꙋю, и҆ ᲂу҆ще́дрю, є҆го́же а҆́ще ᲂу҆ще́дрю.
15 For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
15 τῷ γὰρ Μωϋσῇ λέγει· ἐλεήσω ὃν ἂν ἐλεῶ, καὶ οἰκτειρήσω ὃν ἂν οἰκτείρω.
16 Тѣ́мже ᲂу҆̀бо ни хотѧ́щагѡ, ни текꙋ́щагѡ, но ми́лꙋющагѡ бг҃а.
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
16 ἄρα οὖν οὐ τοῦ θέλοντος οὐδὲ τοῦ τρέχοντος, ἀλλὰ τοῦ ἐλεοῦντος Θεοῦ.
17 Глаго́летъ бо писа́нїе фараѡ́нови: ꙗ҆́кѡ на и҆́стое сїѐ воздвиго́хъ тѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да покажꙋ̀ тобо́ю си́лꙋ мою̀, и҆ да возвѣсти́тсѧ и҆́мѧ моѐ по все́й землѝ.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
17 λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφὴ τῷ Φαραὼ ὅτι εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ἐξήγειρά σε, ὅπως ἐνδείξωμαι ἐν σοὶ τὴν δύναμίν μου, καὶ ὅπως διαγγελῇ τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ.
18 Тѣ́мже ᲂу҆̀бо є҆го́же хо́щетъ, ми́лꙋетъ: а҆ є҆го́же хо́щетъ, ѡ҆жесточа́етъ.
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
18 ἄρα οὖν ὃν θέλει ἐλεεῖ, ὃν δὲ θέλει σκληρύνει.
19 Рече́ши ᲂу҆̀бо мѝ: чесѡ̀ ра́ди є҆щѐ ᲂу҆корѧ́етъ, во́ли бо є҆гѡ̀ кто̀ проти́витисѧ мо́жетъ;
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
19 Ἐρεῖς οὖν μοι· τί ἔτι μέμφεται; τῷ γὰρ βουλήματι αὐτοῦ τίς ἀνθέστηκε;
20 Тѣ́мже ᲂу҆̀бо, ѽ, человѣ́че, ты̀ кто̀ є҆сѝ, проти́въ ѿвѣща́ѧй бг҃ови; є҆да̀ рече́тъ зда́нїе созда́вшемꙋ є҆̀: почто̀ мѧ̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ та́кѡ;
20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
20 μενοῦνγε, ὦ ἄνθρωπε, σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ ἀνταποκρινόμενος τῷ Θεῷ; μὴ ἐρεῖ τὸ πλάσμα τῷ πλάσαντι, τί με ἐποίησας οὕτως;
21 И҆лѝ не и҆́мать вла́сти скꙋде́льникъ на бре́нїи, ѿ тогѡ́жде смѣше́нїѧ сотвори́ти ѻ҆́въ ᲂу҆́бѡ сосꙋ́дъ въ че́сть, ѻ҆́въ же не въ че́сть;
21 Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
21 ἢ οὐκ ἔχει ἐξουσίαν ὁ κεραμεὺς τοῦ πηλοῦ, ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ φυράματος ποιῆσαι ὃ μὲν εἰς τιμὴν σκεῦος, ὃ δὲ εἰς ἀτιμίαν;
22 А҆́ще же хотѧ̀ бг҃ъ показа́ти гнѣ́въ сво́й и҆ ꙗ҆ви́ти си́лꙋ свою̀, пренесѐ во мно́зѣ долготерпѣ́нїи сосꙋ́ды гнѣ́ва совершє́ны въ поги́бель:
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
22 εἰ δὲ θέλων ὁ Θεὸς ἐνδείξασθαι τὴν ὀργὴν καὶ γνωρίσαι τὸ δυνατὸν αὐτοῦ ἤνεγκεν ἐν πολλῇ μακροθυμίᾳ σκεύη ὀργῆς κατηρτισμένα εἰς ἀπώλειαν;
23 и҆ да ска́жетъ бога́тство сла́вы своеѧ̀ на сосꙋ́дѣхъ млⷭ҇ти, ꙗ҆̀же пред̾ꙋгото́ва въ сла́вꙋ,
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
23 καὶ ἵνα γνωρίσῃ τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ σκεύη ἐλέους, — ἃ προητοίμασεν εἰς δόξαν;
24 и҆̀хже и҆ призва̀ на́съ не то́чїю ѿ і҆ꙋдє́й, но и҆ ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ:
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
24 οὓς καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ἡμᾶς οὐ μόνον ἐξ Ἰουδαίων, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐξ ἐθνῶν,
25 ꙗ҆́коже и҆ во ѡ҆сі́и гл҃етъ: нарекꙋ̀ не лю́ди моѧ̑ лю́ди моѧ̑, и҆ невозлю́бленꙋю возлю́бленꙋ:
25 As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
25 ὡς καὶ ἐν τῷ Ὡσηὲ λέγει· καλέσω τὸν οὐ λαόν μου λαόν μου, καὶ τὴν οὐκ ἠγαπημένην ἠγαπημένην·
26 и҆ бꙋ́детъ, на мѣ́стѣ, и҆дѣ́же рече́сѧ и҆̀мъ: не лю́дїе моѝ є҆стѐ вы̀, та́мѡ нарекꙋ́тсѧ сн҃ове бг҃а жива́гѡ.
26 “It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”
26 καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ οὗ ἐρρέθη αὐτοῖς, οὐ λαός μου ὑμεῖς, ἐκεῖ κληθήσονται υἱοὶ Θεοῦ ζῶντος.
27 И҆са́їа же вопїе́тъ ѡ҆ і҆и҃ли: а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ число̀ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ ꙗ҆́кѡ песо́къ морскі́й, ѡ҆ста́нокъ спасе́тсѧ:
27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
27 Ἡσαΐας δὲ κράζει ὑπὲρ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· ἐὰν ᾖ ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης, τὸ κατάλειμμα σωθήσεται·
28 сло́во бо скончава́ѧ и҆ сокраща́ѧ въ пра́вдѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сло́во сокраще́но сотвори́тъ гдⷭ҇ь на землѝ,
28 for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
28 λόγον γὰρ συντελῶν καὶ συντέμνων ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, ὅτι λόγον συντετμημένον ποιήσει Κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
29 и҆ ꙗ҆́коже проречѐ и҆са́їа: а҆́ще не бы гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ ѡ҆ста́вилъ на́мъ сѣ́мене, ꙗ҆́коже содо́мъ ᲂу҆́бѡ бы́ли бы́хомъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́коже гомо́ррꙋ ᲂу҆подо́билисѧ бы́хомъ.
29 As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
29 καὶ καθὼς προείρηκεν Ἡσαΐας, εἰ μὴ Κύριος Σαβαὼθ ἐγκατέλιπεν ἡμῖν σπέρμα, ὡς Σόδομα ἂν ἐγενήθημεν καὶ ὡς Γόμορρα ἂν ὡμοιώθημεν.
30 Что̀ ᲂу҆̀бо рече́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ꙗ҆зы́цы, не гонѧ́щїи пра́вдꙋ, постиго́ша пра́вдꙋ, пра́вдꙋ же, ꙗ҆́же ѿ вѣ́ры:
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
30 Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν; ὅτι ἔθνη τὰ μὴ διώκοντα δικαιοσύνην κατέλαβε δικαιοσύνην, δικαιοσύνην δὲ τὴν ἐκ πίστεως,
31 і҆и҃ль же, гонѧ̀ зако́нъ пра́вды, въ зако́нъ пра́вды не пости́же.
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
31 Ἰσραὴλ δὲ διώκων νόμον δικαιοσύνης εἰς νόμον δικαιοσύνης οὐκ ἔφθασε.
32 Чесѡ̀ ра́ди; Занѐ не ѿ вѣ́ры, но ѿ дѣ́лъ зако́на: преткнꙋ́шасѧ бо ѡ҆ ка́мень претыка́нїѧ,
32 Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
32 διατί; ὅτι οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἐξ ἔργων νόμου· προσέκοψαν γὰρ τῷ λίθῳ τοῦ προσκόμματος,
33 ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано: сѐ, полага́ю въ сїѡ́нѣ ка́мень претыка́нїѧ и҆ ка́мень собла́зна: и҆ всѧ́къ вѣ́рꙋѧй во́нь не постыди́тсѧ.
33 even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
33 καθὼς γέγραπται· ἰδοὺ τίθημι ἐν Σιὼν λίθον προσκόμματος καὶ πέτραν σκανδάλου, καὶ πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.

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).
Did I not seem yesterday to you to have spoken some great and exorbitant things of Paul's love toward Christ? And great indeed they were, too great for any words to express. Yet what you have heard to-day are as far above those things, as those things were above ours.
