Tobit 3 Church Slavonic Bible (Elizabeth Bible)
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 ѡ҆печа́ливсѧ пла́кахъ, и҆ моли́хсѧ съ болѣ́знїю, глаго́лѧ:
1 I was grieved and wept, and prayed in sorrow, saying,
2 првⷣнъ є҆сѝ, гдⷭ҇и, и҆ всѧ̑ дѣла̀ твоѧ̑, и҆ всѝ пꙋтїѐ твоѝ млⷭ҇ть и҆ и҆́стина, и҆ сꙋ́дъ и҆́стиненъ и҆ првⷣнъ ты̀ сꙋ́диши во вѣ́къ:
2 “O Lord, you are righteous, and all your works and all your ways are mercy and truth, and you judge true and righteous judgment forever.
3 помѧнѝ мѧ̀ и҆ при́зри на мѧ̀ да не ѿмща́еши мѝ грѣхѝ моѧ̑ и҆ невѣ̑дѣнїѧ моѧ̑ и҆ ѻ҆тє́цъ мои́хъ, и҆́миже согрѣши́ша пред̾ тобо́ю:
3 Remember me, and look at me. Don’t take vengeance on me for my sins and my ignorances, and the sins of my fathers who sinned before you.
4 преслꙋ́шаша бо за́пѡвѣди твоѧ̑ и҆ да́лъ є҆сѝ на́съ въ расхище́нїе и҆ плѣне́нїе и҆ сме́рть и҆ въ при́тчꙋ поноше́нїѧ всѣ̑мъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ, въ нѧ́же расточи́хомсѧ:
4 For they disobeyed your commandments. You gave us as plunder, for captivity, for death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we are dispersed.
5 и҆ нн҃ѣ мнѡ́ги сꙋдьбы̑ твоѧ̑ сꙋ́ть и҆ и҆́стинны, твори́те со мно́ю ѡ҆ грѣсѣ́хъ мои́хъ и҆ ѻ҆тє́цъ мои́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не сотвори́хомъ повелѣ́нїй твои́хъ, не бо̀ ходи́хомъ во и҆́стинѣ пред̾ тобо́ю:
5 Now your judgments are many and true, that you should deal with me according to my sins and the sins of my fathers, because we didn’t keep your commandments, for we didn’t walk in truth before you.
6 и҆ нн҃ѣ, ꙗ҆́коже ᲂу҆го́дно пред̾ тобо́ю, сотворѝ со мно́ю: повелѝ ѿѧ́ти дꙋ́хъ мо́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ да разрѣшꙋ́сѧ и҆ бꙋ́дꙋ землѧ̀, поне́же ᲂу҆́не є҆́сть мѝ ᲂу҆мре́ти, не́жели жи́вꙋ бы́ти, занѐ поноше́нїѧ лжи̑ва слы́шахъ, и҆ печа́ль є҆́сть мно́га во мнѣ̀: повелѝ ѿрѣши́тисѧ мѝ ѿ нꙋ́жды ᲂу҆жѐ на вѣ́чное мѣ́сто, да не ѿврати́ши лица̀ твоегѡ̀ ѿ менє̀.
6 Now deal with me according to that which is pleasing in your sight. Command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be released, and become earth. For it is more profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and there is much sorrow in me. Command that I be released from my distress, now, and go to the everlasting place. Don’t turn your face away from me.”
7 Въ то́йже де́нь слꙋчи́сѧ дще́ри рагꙋи́левѣй са́ррѣ бо є҆квата́нѣхъ миді́и, и҆ то́й поноси́мѣй бы́ти ѿ рабы́нь ѻ҆тца̀ є҆ѧ̀:
7 The same day it happened to Sarah the daughter of Raguel in Ecbatana of Media, that she also was reproached by her father’s maidservants;
8 ꙗ҆́кѡ бѧ́ше дана̀ седмѝ мꙋжє́мъ, и҆ а҆смоде́й лꙋка́вый де́мѡнъ ᲂу҆бѝ и҆̀хъ, пре́жде да́же бы́ти и҆̀мъ съ не́ю ꙗ҆́кѡ съ жена́ми: и҆ рѣ́ша є҆́й: не разꙋмѣ́еши ли ᲂу҆бива́ющи твои́хъ мꙋже́й; ᲂу҆жѐ се́дмь и҆мѣ́ла є҆сѝ, и҆ ни є҆ди́нагѡ и҆́хъ нарекла́сѧ є҆сѝ:
8 because that she had been given to seven husbands, and Asmodaeus the evil spirit killed them, before they had lain with her. And they said to her, “Do you not know that you strangle your husbands? You have had already seven husbands, and you haven’t borne the name of any one of them.
9 что̀ на́съ бїе́ши; а҆́ще и҆змро́ша, и҆дѝ съ ни́ми, да не ви́димъ твоегѡ̀ сы́на и҆лѝ дще́ре во вѣ́къ.
9 Why do you scourge us? If they are dead, go your ways with them. Let us never see either son or daughter from you.”
10 Сїѧ̑ слы́шавши ѡ҆печа́лисѧ ѕѣлѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆дави́тисѧ, и҆ речѐ: є҆ди́на ᲂу҆́бѡ є҆́смь ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀: а҆́ще сотворю̀ сїѐ, ᲂу҆кори́зна є҆мꙋ̀ бꙋ́детъ, и҆ ста́рость є҆гѡ̀ низведꙋ̀ съ болѣ́знїю во а҆́дъ.
10 When she heard these things, she was grieved exceedingly, so that she thought about hanging herself. Then she said, “I am the only daughter of my father. If I do this, it will be a reproach to him, and I will bring down his old age with sorrow to the grave.”
11 И҆ молѧ́шесѧ при ѻ҆ко́нцы и҆ речѐ: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ є҆сѝ, гдⷭ҇и бж҃е мо́й, и҆ блгⷭ҇ве́но и҆́мѧ твоѐ ст҃о́е и҆ чтⷭ҇но́е во вѣ́ки: да блгⷭ҇вѧ́тъ тѧ̀ всѧ̑ дѣла̀ твоѧ̑ во вѣ́къ:
11 Then she prayed by the window, and said, “Blessed are you, O Lord my God, and blessed is your holy and honorable name forever! Let all your works praise you forever!
12 и҆ нн҃ѣ, гдⷭ҇и, ѻ҆́чи моѝ и҆ лицѐ моѐ ко тебѣ̀ да́хъ:
12 And now, Lord, I have set my eyes and my face toward you.
13 рѣ́хъ да разрѣши́ши мѧ̀ ѿ землѝ и҆ да не слы́шꙋ а҆́зъ ктомꙋ̀ поноше́нїѧ:
13 Command that I be released from the earth, and that I no longer hear reproach.
14 ты̀ вѣ́си, гдⷭ҇и, ꙗ҆́кѡ чиста̀ є҆́смь ѿ всѧ́кагѡ грѣха̀ мꙋ́жнѧ
14 You know, Lord, that I am pure from all sin with man,
15 и҆ не ѡ҆скверни́хъ и҆́мене моегѡ̀ нижѐ и҆́мене ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀ въ землѝ плѣне́нїѧ моегѡ̀: є҆диноро́дна є҆́смь ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀, и҆ нѣ́сть є҆мꙋ̀ ѻ҆́трочища, и҆́же наслѣ́дитъ є҆го̀, нижѐ бра́та бли́жнѧгѡ, нижѐ сꙋ́щагѡ є҆мꙋ̀ сы́на да соблюдꙋ́ мѧ томꙋ̀ въ женꙋ̀: ᲂу҆жѐ погибо́ша мѝ се́дмь: вскꙋ́ю мѝ жи́ти; и҆ а҆́ще не ᲂу҆го́дно є҆́сть тебѣ̀ ᲂу҆би́ти мѧ̀, повелѝ призрѣ́ти на мѧ̀ и҆ поми́ловати мѧ̀, да не ктомꙋ̀ слы́шꙋ поноше́нїе.
15 and that I never polluted my name or the name of my father in the land of my captivity. I am the only daughter of my father, and he has no child that will be his heir, nor brother near him, nor son belonging to him, that I should keep myself for a wife to him. Seven husbands of mine are dead already. Why should I live? If it doesn’t please you to kill me, command some regard to be had of me, and pity taken of me, and that I hear no more reproach.”
16 И҆ ᲂу҆слы́ша гдⷭ҇ь моли́твꙋ ѻ҆бои́хъ пред̾ сла́вою вели́кагѡ рафаи́ла,
16 The prayer of both was heard before the glory of the great God.
17 и҆ по́сланъ бѣ̀ и҆сцѣли́ти ѻ҆бои́хъ, тѡві́тꙋ ѡ҆чи́стити бѣ́льма и҆ са́ррꙋ дще́рь рагꙋи́левꙋ да́ти тѡві́и сы́нꙋ тѡві́товꙋ въ женꙋ̀, и҆ свѧза́ти а҆смоде́а лꙋка́ваго де́мѡна, занѐ тѡві́и подоба́етъ наслѣ́дити ю҆̀. Въ то̀ вре́мѧ возврати́всѧ тѡві́тъ, вни́де въ до́мъ сво́й, а҆ са́рра дщѝ рагꙋи́лева сни́де ѿ го́рницы своеѧ̀.
17 Raphael also was sent to heal them both, to scale away the white films from Tobit’s eyes, and to give Sarah the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodaeus the evil spirit; because it belonged to Tobias that he should inherit her. At that very time, Tobit returned and entered into his house, and Sarah the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.
