Notes on this text (1)
- Includes the books not found in the Hebrew Bible (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1–3 Maccabees, 2 and 3 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh), as in the Synodal editions.
1 Господи Вседержителю, Боже Израиля! стесненная душа и унылый дух взывает к Тебе:
1 O Lord Almighty, you God of Israel, the soul in anguish and the troubled spirit cries to you.
2 услышь, Господи, и помилуй, ибо Ты Бог милосердый; помилуй, ибо мы согрешили пред Тобою;
2 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy; for you are a merciful God. Yes, have mercy upon us, because we have sinned before you.
3 Ты - вечно пребывающий, а мы - вечно погибающие.
3 For you are enthroned forever, and we keep perishing.
4 Господи Вседержителю, Боже Израиля! услышь молитву умерших Израиля и сынов их, согрешивших пред Тобою, которые не послушали гласа Господа Бога своего, за то и постигли нас бедствия.
4 O Lord Almighty, you God of Israel, hear now the prayer of the dead Israelites, and of the children of those who were sinners before you, who didn’t listen to the voice of you their God; because of this, these plagues cling to us.
5 Не вспоминай неправд отцов наших, но вспомни руку Твою и имя Твое в сие время,
5 Don’t remember the iniquities of our fathers, but remember your power and your name at this time.
6 ибо Ты - Господь Бог наш, и мы прославим Тебя, Господи.
6 For you are the Lord our God, and we will praise you, O Lord.
7 Ты для того вселил страх Твой в сердце наше, чтобы мы призывали имя Твое; и мы будем прославлять Тебя в переселении нашем, ибо мы отринули от сердца нашего всякую неправду отцов наших, согрешивших пред Тобою.
7 For this cause, you have put your fear in our hearts, to the intent that we should call upon your name. We will praise you in our captivity, for we have called to mind all the iniquity of our fathers who sinned before you.
8 Вот, мы теперь в переселении нашем, куда Ты рассеял нас в поношение и в клятву и в возмездие за все неправды отцов наших, которые отступили от Господа Бога нашего.
8 Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity where you have scattered us, for a reproach and a curse, and to be subject to penalty according to all the iniquities of our fathers who departed from the Lord our God.
9 Слушай, Израиль, заповеди жизни, внимайте, чтобы уразуметь мудрость.
9 Hear, O Israel, the commandments of life! Give ear to understand wisdom!
10 Что это значит, Израиль, что ты находишься в земле врагов? Состарился ты в чужой земле, осквернился вместе с мертвыми,
10 How is it, O Israel, that you are in your enemies’ land, that you have become old in a strange country, that you are defiled with the dead,
11 причислен к находящимся в аде,
11 that you are counted with those who are in Hades?
12 оставил источник премудрости.
12 You have forsaken the fountain of wisdom.
13 Если бы ты ходил путем Божиим, то жил бы в мире вовеки.
13 If you had walked in the way of God, you would have dwelled in peace forever.
14 Познай, где находится мудрость, где сила, где знание, чтобы вместе с тем узнать, где находится долгоденствие и жизнь, где находится свет очей и мир.
14 Learn where there is wisdom, where there is strength, and where there is understanding, that you may also know where there is length of days and life, where there is the light of the eyes and peace.
15 Кто нашел место ее, и кто взошел в сокровищницы ее?
15 Who has found out her place? Who has come into her treasuries?
16 Где князья народов и владевшие зверями земными, забавлявшиеся птицами небесными,
16 Where are the princes of the heathen, and those who ruled the beasts that are on the earth,
17 и собиравшие серебро и золото, на которые надеются люди, и стяжаниям которых нет конца?
17 those who had their pastime with the fowls of the air, and those who hoarded up silver and gold, in which people trust, and of their getting there is no end?
18 Где те, которые занимались серебряными изделиями, и которых изделиям нет числа?
18 For those who diligently sought silver, and were so anxious, and whose works are past finding out,
19 Они исчезли и сошли в ад, и вместо них восстали другие.
19 they have vanished and gone down to Hades, and others have come up in their place.
20 Позднейшие видели свет и жили на земле, но пути мудрости не познали;
20 Younger men have seen the light and lived upon the earth, but they haven’t known the way of knowledge,
21 не уразумели стезей ее, и не достигли ее сыновья их: они были далеко от пути ее.
21 nor understood its paths. Their children haven’t embraced it. They are far off from their way.
22 Не было слышно о ней в Ханаане, и не было видно ее в Фемане.
22 It has not been heard of in Canaan, neither has it been seen in Teman.
23 Сыновья Агари искали земного знания, равно и купцы Мерры и Фемана, и баснословы и исследователи знания; но пути премудрости не познали и не заметили стезей ее.
23 The sons also of Agar who seek understanding, which are in the land, the merchants of Merran and Teman, and the authors of fables, and the searchers out of understanding—none of these have known the way of wisdom or remembered her paths.
24 О, Израиль! как велик дом Божий, и как пространно место владычества его!
24 O Israel, how great is the house of God! How large is the place of his possession!
25 Велик он и не имеет конца, высок и неизмерим.
25 It is great and has no end. It is high and unmeasurable.
26 Там были изначала славные исполины, весьма великие, искусные в войне.
26 Giants were born that were famous of old, great of stature, and expert in war.
27 Но не их избрал Бог, и не им открыл пути премудрости;
27 God didn’t choose these, nor did he give the way of knowledge to them,
28 и они погибли оттого, что не имели мудрости, погибли от неразумия своего.
28 so they perished, because they had no wisdom. They perished through their own foolishness.
29 Кто взошел на небо, и взял ее, и снес с облаков?
29 Who has gone up into heaven, taken her, and brought her down from the clouds?
30 Кто перешел моря и нашел ее, и кто принесет ее, лучшую чистого золота?
30 Who has gone over the sea, found her, and will bring her for choice gold?
31 Нет никого, знающего путь ее, ни помышляющего о стезе ее.
31 There is no one who knows her way, nor any who comprehend her path.
32 Но Знающий все знает ее; Он открыл ее Своим разумом, Тот, Который сотворил землю на вечные времена и наполнил ее четвероногими скотами,
32 But he that knows all things knows her, he found her out with his understanding. He who prepared the earth for all time has filled it with four-footed beasts.
33 Который посылает свет, и он идет, призвал его, и он послушался Его с трепетом;
33 It is he who sends forth the light, and it goes. He called it, and it obeyed him with fear.
34 и звезды воссияли на стражах своих, и возвеселились.
34 The stars shone in their watches, and were glad. When he called them, they said, “Here we are.” They shone with gladness to him who made them.
35 Он призвал их, и они сказали: "вот мы", и воссияли радостью пред Творцом своим.
35 This is our God. No other can be compared to him.
36 Сей есть Бог наш, и никто другой не сравнится с Ним.
36 He has found out all the way of knowledge, and has given it to Jacob his servant and to Israel who is loved by him.
37 Он нашел все пути премудрости и даровал ее рабу Своему Иакову и возлюбленному Своему Израилю.
37 Afterward she appeared upon earth, and lived with men.
38 После того Он явился на земле и обращался между людьми.

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).
Those did not the Lord choose, neither gave He the way of knowledge unto them; but they were destroyed because they had no wisdom, and perished through their own foolishness."

… beyond expectation, that because of these things the very angels formed a choir, and in behalf of the world offered up their praise for them, and the prophets from the first were amazed at this, that "He was seen upon earth, and conversed with men." Yea, for it is far beyond all thought to hear that God the Unspeakable, …

Why, in this:--This is your God; no other shall be accounted of in comparison with Him, and a little further on, after this did He shew Himself upon earth, and conversed with men. This addition proves clearly that the words are not used of the Father, but of the Son; for it was He Who in bodily form companied with …

Standing and sitting, I apprehend, indicate the fixity and entire stability of the nature, as Baruch, when he wishes to exhibit the immutability and immobility of the Divine mode of existence, says, "For thou sittest for ever and we perish utterly." Moreover, the place on the right hand indicates in my judgment equality of honour.
