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 бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇а вседержи́телѧ (ко мнѣ̀) гл҃ѧ:
1 The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.
2 си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель: ревнова́хъ по і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ и҆ сїѡ́нѣ рве́нїемъ вели́кимъ и҆ ꙗ҆́ростїю ве́лїею ревнова́хъ по не́мъ.
2 Yahweh of Armies says: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”
3 Та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: ѡ҆бращꙋ́сѧ къ сїѡ́нꙋ и҆ вселю́сѧ посредѣ̀ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, и҆ нарече́тсѧ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ гра́дъ и҆́стинный, и҆ гора̀ гдⷭ҇а вседержи́телѧ гора̀ ст҃а́ѧ.
3 Yahweh says: “I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the middle of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called ‘The City of Truth;’ and the mountain of Yahweh of Armies, ‘The Holy Mountain.’”
4 Си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель: є҆щѐ сѧ́дꙋтъ ста́рцы и҆ ста̑рицы на пꙋте́хъ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мскихъ, кі́йждо же́злъ сво́й и҆мы́й въ рꙋцѣ̀ свое́й ѿ мно́жества дні́й:
4 Yahweh of Armies says: “Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand because of their old age.
5 и҆ пꙋтїѐ гра́да и҆спо́лнѧтсѧ ѻ҆́трѡчищъ и҆ ѻ҆трокови́цъ и҆гра́ющихъ на пꙋте́хъ є҆гѡ̀.
5 The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”
6 Си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель: а҆́ще и҆знемо́жетъ пред̾ ѡ҆ста́нкомъ люді́й си́хъ во ѻ҆́нѣхъ дне́хъ, є҆да̀ и҆ предо мно́ю и҆знемо́жетъ; гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель.
6 Yahweh of Armies says: “If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?” says Yahweh of Armies.
7 Си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель: сѐ, а҆́зъ сп҃сꙋ̀ лю́ди моѧ̑ ѿ землѝ восто́чныѧ и҆ ѿ землѝ за́падныѧ
7 Yahweh of Armies says: “Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country.
8 и҆ введꙋ̀ и҆̀хъ (въ зе́млю и҆́хъ), и҆ вселю́сѧ посредѣ̀ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ мѝ въ лю́ди, и҆ а҆́зъ бꙋ́дꙋ и҆̀мъ въ бг҃а во и҆́стинѣ и҆ въ пра́вдѣ.
8 I will bring them, and they will dwell within Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.”
9 Си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭь вседержи́тель: да ᲂу҆крѣпѧ́тсѧ рꙋ́цѣ ва́съ слы́шащихъ во дне́хъ си́хъ словеса̀ сїѧ̑ ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ прⷪ҇ро́ческихъ, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ ѡ҆снова́сѧ хра́мъ гдⷭ҇а вседержи́телѧ, и҆ це́рковь ѿне́лѣже созда́сѧ.
9 Yahweh of Armies says: “Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of Yahweh of Armies was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
10 Занѐ пре́жде дні́й ѻ҆́нѣхъ мзда̀ человѣ́кѡмъ не бѣ̀ во ᲂу҆спѣ́хъ, и҆ мзда̀ скотѡ́мъ не бѧ́ше, и҆ и҆сходѧ́щемꙋ и҆ входѧ́щемꙋ не бѣ̀ ми́ра ѿ печа́ли, и҆ послю̀ всѧ̑ человѣ́ки коего́ждо на и҆́скреннѧго своего̀.
10 For before those days there was no wages for man nor any wages for an animal, neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.
11 И҆ нн҃ѣ не по днє́мъ ѻ҆́нѣмъ прє́жнимъ а҆́зъ сотворю̀ ѡ҆ста́нкꙋ люді́й си́хъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель,
11 But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days,” says Yahweh of Armies.
12 но покажꙋ̀ ми́ръ: вїногра́дъ да́стъ пло́дъ сво́й, и҆ землѧ̀ да́стъ жи̑та своѧ̑, и҆ не́бо да́стъ ро́сꙋ свою̀, и҆ наслѣ́дити сотворю̀ ѡ҆ста́нкѡмъ люді́й мои́хъ си́хъ всѧ̑ сїѧ̑.
12 “For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew. I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
13 И҆ бꙋ́детъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бѣ́сте въ клѧ́твѣ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, до́ме і҆ꙋ́довъ и҆ до́ме і҆и҃левъ, та́кѡ сп҃сꙋ̀ вы̀, и҆ бꙋ́дете въ блгⷭ҇ве́нїи: дерза́йте и҆ ᲂу҆крѣплѧ́йтесѧ рꙋка́ми ва́шими.
13 It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Don’t be afraid. Let your hands be strong.”
14 Занѐ си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель: ꙗ҆́коже помы́слихъ ѡ҆ѕло́бити вы̀, внегда̀ прогнѣ́ваша мѧ̀ ѻ҆тцы̀ ва́ши, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель, и҆ не раска́ѧхсѧ:
14 For Yahweh of Armies says: “As I thought to do evil to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and I didn’t repent,
15 та́кѡ ᲂу҆ста́вихъ и҆ ᲂу҆мы́слихъ во дни̑ сїѧ̑ добро̀ сотвори́ти і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мꙋ и҆ до́мꙋ і҆ꙋ́довꙋ: дерза́йте.
15 so again I have thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.
16 Сїѧ̑ словеса̀, ꙗ҆̀же сотворитѐ: глаго́лите и҆́стинꙋ кі́йждо и҆́скреннемꙋ своемꙋ̀, и҆́стинꙋ и҆ сꙋ́дъ ми́ренъ сꙋди́те во вратѣ́хъ ва́шихъ,
16 These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,
17 и҆ кі́йждо ѕло́бы и҆́скреннѧгѡ своегѡ̀ не помышлѧ́йте въ сердца́хъ ва́шихъ, и҆ клѧ́твы лжи́выѧ не люби́те, занѐ всѧ̑ сїѧ̑ возненави́дѣхъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель.
17 and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath; for all these are things that I hate,” says Yahweh.
18 И҆ бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇а вседержи́телѧ ко мнѣ̀ гл҃ѧ:
18 The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.
19 си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель: по́стъ четве́ртый и҆ по́стъ пѧ́тый, и҆ по́стъ седмы́й и҆ по́стъ десѧ́тый бꙋ́дꙋтъ до́мꙋ і҆ꙋ́довꙋ въ ра́дость и҆ въ весе́лїе и҆ въ пра́здники бла̑ги: и҆ возвеселите́сѧ и҆ и҆́стинꙋ и҆ ми́ръ возлю́бите.
19 Yahweh of Armies says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy, gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.”
20 Си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель: є҆щѐ лю́дїе мно́зи прїи́дꙋтъ и҆ живꙋ́щїи во градѣ́хъ мно́гихъ:
20 Yahweh of Armies says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come.
21 и҆ сни́дꙋтсѧ живꙋ́щїи во пѧтѝ градѣ́хъ во є҆ди́нъ гра́дъ, глаго́люще: грѧди́мъ помоли́тисѧ лицꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ню и҆ взыска́ти лицѐ гдⷭ҇а вседержи́телѧ: и҆дꙋ̀ и҆ а҆́зъ.
21 The inhabitants of one will go to another, saying, ‘Let’s go speedily to entreat the favor of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of Armies. I will go also.’
22 И҆ прїи́дꙋтъ лю́дїе мно́зи и҆ ꙗ҆зы́цы мно́зи взыска́ти лица̀ гдⷭ҇а вседержи́телѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ и҆ ᲂу҆моли́ти лицѐ гдⷭ҇не.
22 Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Yahweh of Armies in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of Yahweh.”
23 Си́це гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель: во ѡ҆́ны дни̑ и҆ме́тсѧ де́сѧть мꙋже́й ѿ всѣ́хъ племе́нъ ꙗ҆зы́ческихъ, и҆ и҆́мꙋтсѧ за ри́зꙋ мꙋ́жа і҆ꙋде́анина, глаго́люще: по́йдемъ съ тобо́ю, занѐ слы́шахомъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ съ ва́ми є҆́сть.
23 Yahweh of Armies says: “In those days, ten men out of all the languages of the nations will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”

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).
… ye the truth every man to his neighbour, and execute peaceful judgment in your gates, and let none of you imagine evil in his heart against his brother, and ye shall not love false swearing: for all these things I hate, saith the Lord Almighty." Moreover, David also says in like manner: "What man is there who desireth life, and …
Wash you, make you clean, put away evil from your hearts, learn to do well, seek judgment, protect the oppressed, judge the fatherless (pupillo), plead for the widow; and come, let us reason together, saith the Lord." And again: "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips that they speak no guile; depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, …
