Nehemiah 9
Commentary from 1 father
And the children of Israel separated themselves from every stranger, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
καὶ ἐχωρίσθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ παντὸς υἱοῦ ἀλλοτρίου καὶ ἔστησαν καὶ ἐξηγόρευσαν τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς ἀνομίας τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
И҆ ѿлꙋчи́шасѧ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы ѿ всѧ́кагѡ сы́на чꙋ́жда, и҆ и҆сповѣ́дахꙋ грѣхѝ своѧ̑ и҆ беззакѡ́нїѧ ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ.
And they stood in their place, and read in the book of the law of the Lord their God: and they confessed [their sins] to the Lord, and worshipped the Lord their God.
καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τῇ στάσει αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνέγνωσαν ἐν βιβλίῳ νόμου Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἦσαν ἐξαγορεύοντες τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ προσκυνοῦντες τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ αὐτῶν.
И҆ ста́ша на стоѧ́нїи свое́мъ и҆ что́ша въ кни́зѣ зако́на гдⷭ҇а бг҃а своегѡ̀ четвери́цею въ де́нь, и҆ бѧ́хꙋ и҆сповѣ́дающесѧ гдⷭ҇еви и҆ покланѧ́ющесѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ своемꙋ̀.
"And they rose to stand, and read, etc." For who would not marvel that the people had such an extraordinary care for piety, that four times a day, that is, at dawn, the third hour, the sixth, and the ninth, at times when they were to be dedicated to prayer or psalmody, they would commit themselves to hearing the divine law, so that with their minds renewed in God, they might return purer and more devout to implore His mercy; and also at night, four times, shaking off the lethargy of sleep, they would rise to confess their sins and seek forgiveness. I believe it is by this example that the custom has grown in the Church, that at every hour of the daytime psalmody a reading from either the Old or New Testament is said from memory before all the listeners; and thus strengthened by the apostolic or prophetic words, they bend their knees in prayer immediately. And also at night, when they cease from their labors, their ears are directed to the listening of divine readings.
Commentary on Ezra and Nehemiah
[And] there stood upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jesus, and the sons of Cadmiel, Sechenia the son of Sarabia, sons of Choneni; and they cried with a loud voice to the Lord their God.
καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ ἀναβάσει τῶν Λευιτῶν ᾿Ιησοῦς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Καδμιήλ, Σεχενία υἱὸς Σαραβία, υἱοὶ Χωνενὶ καὶ ἐβόησαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν αὐτῶν.
И҆ ста́ша на степе́ни леѵі́тѡвъ і҆исꙋ́съ и҆ сы́нове кадмїи̑ли, сахані́а сы́нъ сараві́инъ, сы́нове хана̑ни, и҆ возопи́ша гла́сомъ вели́кимъ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ своемꙋ̀,
And the Levites, Jesus and Cadmiel, said, Rise up bless the Lord our God forever and ever: and let them bless thy glorious name, and exalt it with all blessing and praise.
καὶ εἴποσαν οἱ Λευῖται ᾿Ιησοῦς καὶ Καδμιήλ· ἀνάστητε, εὐλογεῖτε Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος· καὶ εὐλογήσουσιν ὄνομα δόξης σου καὶ ὑψώσουσιν ἐπὶ πάσῃ εὐλογίᾳ καὶ αἰνέσει.
и҆ реко́ша леѵі́ти, і҆исꙋ́съ и҆ кадмїи́лъ: воста́ните, благослови́те гдⷭ҇а бг҃а на́шего ѿ вѣ́ка да́же до вѣ́ка: и҆ благословѧ́тъ и҆́мѧ сла́вы твоеѧ̀, и҆ вознесꙋ́тъ во всѧ́цѣмъ благослове́нїи и҆ хвалѣ̀.
And Esdras said, Thou art the only true Lord; thou madest the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all their array, the earth, and all things that are in it, the seas, and all things in them; and thou quickenest all things, and the hosts of heaven worship thee.
καὶ εἶπεν ῎Εσδρας· σὺ εἶ αὐτὸς Κύριος μόνος, σὺ ἐποίησας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν στάσιν αὐτῶν, τὴν γῆν καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐν αὐτῇ, τὰς θαλάσσας καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐταῖς, καὶ σὺ ζωοποιεῖς τὰ πάντα, καὶ σοὶ προσκυνοῦσιν αἱ στρατιαὶ τῶν οὐρανῶν.
И҆ речѐ є҆́здра: ты̀ є҆сѝ са́мъ гдⷭ҇ь є҆ди́нъ, ты̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ нб҃о и҆ нб҃о нб҃сѐ и҆ всѧ̑ во́и и҆́хъ, зе́млю и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка на не́й сꙋ́ть, морѧ̀ и҆ всѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же въ ни́хъ, и҆ ты̀ ѡ҆живлѧ́еши всѧ̑, и҆ во́и нбⷭ҇нїи покланѧ́ютсѧ тебѣ̀:
And Ezra said: You alone, Lord, etc. What was previously stated, Because they confessed their sins and the sins of their fathers; is shown in more detail with Ezra beseeching how it was done. Moreover, in the conclusion he says, Therefore over all these, we ourselves make and write a covenant; and our princes, our Levites, and our priests sign; and so forth. It is more clearly shown how, with great grace of devotion, all their persons made a new assembly after the Feast of Booths, so that they might unite themselves with the divine covenant, having been thoroughly cleansed from the contamination of sins, and confirm the condition of the holy covenant both by word and by writing. As if separated from the company of the impious, they might more securely fulfill the work which they had long ago begun; that is, they would appoint suitable citizens of the reestablished city from the number of the pious.
Commentary on Ezra and Nehemiah
Thou art the Lord God, thou didst choose Abram, and broughtest him out of the land of the Chaldeans, and gavest him the name of Abraam:
σὺ εἶ Κύριος ὁ Θεός· σὺ ἐξελέξω ἐν ῞Αβραμ καὶ ἐξήγαγες αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς χώρας τῶν Χαλδαίων καὶ ἐπέθηκας αὐτῷ ὄνομα ῾Αβραάμ·
ты̀ є҆сѝ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, ты̀ и҆збра́лъ є҆сѝ а҆вра́ма и҆ и҆зве́лъ є҆сѝ є҆го̀ ѿ страны̀ халде́йскїѧ, и҆ положи́лъ є҆сѝ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆враа́мъ,
and thou foundest his heart faithful before thee, and didst make a covenant with him to give to him and to his seed the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites; and thou hast confirmed thy words, for thou [art] righteous.
καὶ εὗρες τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ πιστὴν ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ διέθου πρὸς αὐτὸν διαθήκην δοῦναι αὐτῷ τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων καὶ Χετταίων καὶ ᾿Αμορραίων καὶ Φερεζαίων καὶ ᾿Ιεβουσαίων καὶ Γεργεσαίων καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔστησας τοὺς λόγους σου, ὅτι δίκαιος σύ.
и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́лъ є҆сѝ се́рдце є҆гѡ̀ вѣ́рно пред̾ тобо́ю, и҆ завѣща́лъ є҆сѝ съ ни́мъ завѣ́тъ да́ти є҆мꙋ̀ зе́млю ханане́йскꙋ и҆ хетте́йскꙋ, и҆ а҆морре́йскꙋ и҆ ферезе́йскꙋ, и҆ і҆евꙋсе́йскꙋ и҆ гергесе́йскꙋ, и҆ сѣ́мени є҆гѡ̀: и҆ ᲂу҆тверди́лъ є҆сѝ словеса̀ твоѧ̑, ꙗ҆́кѡ првⷣнъ є҆сѝ:
And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and thou heardest their cry at the Red Sea.
καὶ εἶδες τὴν ταπείνωσιν τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ τὴν κραυγὴν αὐτῶν ἤκουσας ἐπὶ θάλασσαν ἐρυθράν.
и҆ ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ ѡ҆ѕлобле́нїе ѻ҆тє́цъ на́шихъ во є҆гѵ́птѣ, и҆ во́пль и҆́хъ ᲂу҆слы́шалъ є҆сѝ на мо́ри чермнѣ́мъ,
And thou shewedst signs and wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knowest that they behaved insolently against them: and thou madest thyself a name, as at this day.
καὶ ἔδωκας σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἐν Φαραὼ καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἔγνως ὅτι ὑπερηφάνησαν ἐπ’ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῷ ὄνομα ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη.
и҆ да́лъ є҆сѝ зна́мєнїѧ и҆ чꙋдеса̀ во є҆гѵ́птѣ на фараѡ́на и҆ на всѧ̑ рабы̑ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ на всѧ̑ лю́ди землѝ є҆гѡ̀: позна́лъ бо є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ возгордѣ́шасѧ на ни́хъ, и҆ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ себѣ̀ и҆́мѧ, ꙗ҆́коже де́нь се́й:
And thou didst cleave the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and thou didst cast into the deep them that were about to pursue them, as a stone in the mighty water.
καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν ἔρρηξας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, καὶ παρήλθοσαν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς θαλάσσης ἐν ξηρασίᾳ, καὶ τοὺς καταδιώξοντας αὐτοὺς ἔρριψας εἰς βυθὸν ὡσεὶ λίθον ἐν ὕδατι σφοδρῷ.
и҆ мо́ре расто́рглъ є҆сѝ пред̾ ни́ми, и҆ проидо́ша посредѣ̀ мо́рѧ по сꙋ́хꙋ, и҆ гони́тєли и҆́хъ вве́рглъ є҆сѝ въ глꙋбинꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ка́мень въ водѣ̀ ѕѣ́льнѣй:
And thou guidedst them by day by a pillar of cloud, and by night by a pillar of fire, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.
καὶ ἐν στύλῳ νεφέλης ὡδήγησας αὐτοὺς ἡμέρας καὶ ἐν στύλῳ πυρὸς τὴν νύκτα τοῦ φωτίσαι αὐτοῖς τὴν ὁδόν, ἐν ᾗ πορεύσονται ἐν αὐτῇ.
и҆ въ столпѣ̀ ѡ҆́блачнѣ води́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ во днѝ и҆ въ столпѣ̀ ѻ҆́гненнѣ въ нощѝ, є҆́же ѡ҆свѣти́ти и҆̀мъ пꙋ́ть, по немꙋ́же и҆до́ша:
Also thou camest down upon mount Sina, and thou spakest to them out of heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and laws of truth, ordinances, and good commandments.
καὶ ἐπὶ ὄρος Σινὰ κατέβης καὶ ἐλάλησας πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς κρίματα εὐθέα καὶ νόμους ἀληθείας, προστάγματα καὶ ἐντολὰς ἀγαθάς·
и҆ на го́рꙋ сїна́йскꙋю сше́лъ є҆сѝ, и҆ гл҃алъ є҆сѝ къ ни̑мъ съ нб҃сѐ, и҆ да́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ сꙋдьбы̑ пра̑вы и҆ зако́нъ и҆́стинный, повєлѣ́нїѧ и҆ за́пѡвѣди бл҃ги:
And thou didst make known to them thy holy sabbath; thou didst enjoin upon them commandments, and ordinances, and a law, by the hand of thy servant Moses.
καὶ τὸ σάββατόν σου τὸ ἅγιον ἐγνώρισας αὐτοῖς, ἐντολὰς καὶ προστάγματα καὶ νόμον ἐνετείλω αὐτοῖς ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ δούλου σου.
и҆ сꙋббѡ́тꙋ ст҃ꙋ́ю твою̀ ꙗ҆ви́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ, за́пѡвѣди, повелѣ̑нїѧ и҆ зако́нъ повелѣ́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ рꙋко́ю мѡѷсе́а раба̀ твоегѡ̀:
And thou gavest them bread from heaven for their food, and thou broughtest them forth water from a rock for their thirst; and thou badest them go in to inherit the land over which thou stretchedst out thy hand to give [it] them.
καὶ ἄρτον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς εἰς σιτοδοτίαν αὐτῶν καὶ ὕδωρ ἐκ πέτρας ἐξήνεγκας αὐτοῖς εἰς δίψαν αὐτῶν. καὶ εἶπας αὐτοῖς εἰσελθεῖν κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν, ἐφ’ ἣν ἐξέτεινας τὴν χεῖρά σου δοῦναι αὐτοῖς.
хлѣ́бъ же съ небесѐ да́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ во а҆́лчбѣ и҆́хъ въ пи́щꙋ и҆̀мъ, и҆ во́дꙋ и҆з̾ ка́мене и҆зве́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ въ жа́жди и҆́хъ, и҆ ре́клъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ, да вни́дꙋтъ и҆ наслѣ́дѧтъ зе́млю, на ню́же просте́рлъ є҆сѝ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ да́ти и҆̀мъ:
But they and our fathers behaved proudly, and hardened their neck, and did not hearken to thy commandments,
καὶ αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ὑπερηφανεύσαντο καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν τῶν ἐντολῶν σου·
ті́и же и҆ ѻ҆тцы̀ на́ши возгордѣ́шасѧ и҆ ѡ҆жесточи́ша вы̑ѧ своѧ̑ и҆ не послꙋ́шаша за́повѣдїй твои́хъ,
and refused to listen, and remembered not thy wonders which thou wroughtest with them; and they hardened their neck, and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt: but thou, O God, [art] merciful and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and thou didst not forsake them.
καὶ ἀνένευσαν τοῦ εἰσακοῦσαι καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθησαν τῶν θαυμασίων σου, ὧν ἐποίησας μετ’ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν καὶ ἔδωκαν ἀρχὴν ἐπιστρέψαι εἰς δουλείαν αὐτῶν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ. καὶ σὺ ὁ Θεὸς ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων, μακρόθυμος καὶ πολυέλεος, καὶ οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες αὐτούς.
и҆ не восхотѣ́ша слы́шати, и҆ не воспомѧнꙋ́ша чꙋде́съ твои́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ: и҆ ѡ҆жесточи́ша вы́ю свою̀, и҆ да́ша нача́ло возврати́тисѧ на рабо́тꙋ свою̀ во є҆гѵ́петъ: ты́ же, бж҃е, млⷭ҇тивъ и҆ ще́дръ, долготерпѣли́въ и҆ многомлⷭ҇тивъ, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́вилъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ:
And still farther they even made to themselves a molten calf, and said, These [are] the gods that brought us up out of Egypt: and they wrought great provocations.
ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς μόσχον χωνευτὸν καὶ εἶπαν· οὗτοι οἱ θεοὶ οἱ ἐξαγαγόντες ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου· καὶ ἐποίησαν παροργισμοὺς μεγάλους.
є҆ще́ же сотвори́ша себѣ̀ и҆ тельца̀ слїѧ́на и҆ реко́ша: сі́и бо́зи и҆зведо́ша на́съ и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта: и҆ сотвори́ша раздражє́нїѧ вє́лїѧ:
Yet thou in thy great compassions didst not forsake them in the wilderness: thou didst not turn away from them the pillar of the cloud by day, to guide them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.
καὶ σὺ ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς σου τοῖς πολλοῖς οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, τὸν στύλον τῆς νεφέλης οὐκ ἐξέκλινας ἀπ’ αὐτῶν ἡμέρας ὁδηγῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ τὸν στύλον τοῦ πυρὸς τὴν νύκτα, φωτίζειν αὐτοῖς τὴν ὁδόν, ἐν ᾗ πορεύσονται ἐν αὐτῇ.
ты́ же въ щедро́тахъ твои́хъ мно́гихъ не ѡ҆ста́вилъ є҆сѝ и҆́хъ въ пꙋсты́ни, сто́лпъ ѡ҆́блачный не ᲂу҆клони́лъ є҆сѝ ѿ ни́хъ во днѝ, є҆́же наста́вити и҆̀хъ на пꙋ́ть, и҆ сто́лпъ ѻ҆́гненный въ нощѝ, є҆́же ѡ҆свѣти́ти и҆̀мъ пꙋ́ть по немꙋ́же и҆до́ша,
And thou gavest thy good Spirit to instruct them, and thou didst not withhold thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water in their thirst.
καὶ τὸ πνεῦμά σου τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἔδωκας συνετίσαι αὐτοὺς καὶ τὸ μάννα σου οὐκ ἀφυστέρησας ἀπὸ στόματος αὐτῶν καὶ ὕδωρ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς ἐν τῷ δίψει αὐτῶν.
и҆ дх҃ъ тво́й бл҃гі́й да́лъ є҆сѝ, є҆́же наꙋчи́ти и҆̀хъ, и҆ ма́нны твоеѧ̀ не лиши́лъ є҆сѝ ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ и҆́хъ, и҆ во́дꙋ да́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ въ жа́жди и҆́хъ,
And thou didst sustain them forty years in the wilderness; thou didst not allow anything to fail them: their garments did not wax old, and their feet were not bruised.
καὶ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη διέθρεψας αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, οὐχ ὑστέρησας αὐτοῖς οὐδέν· ἱμάτια αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπαλαιώθησαν, καὶ πόδες αὐτῶν οὐ διερράγησαν.
и҆ четы́редесѧть лѣ́тъ препита́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ въ пꙋсты́ни, ничто́же и҆̀мъ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ̀: ѡ҆дѣѧ̑нїѧ и҆̀хъ не состарѣ́шасѧ, и҆ сапозѝ и҆́хъ не раздра́шасѧ:
Moreover, thou gavest them kingdoms, and didst divide nations to them: and they inherited the land of Seon king of Esebon, and the land of Og king of Basan.
καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς βασιλείας καὶ λαοὺς ἐμέρισας αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν τὴν γῆν Σηὼν βασιλέως ᾿Εσεβὼν καὶ τὴν γῆν ῍Ωγ βασιλέως τοῦ Βασάν.
и҆ да́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ ца̑рства, и҆ лю́ди раздѣли́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ, и҆ наслѣ́диша зе́млю сиѡ́на царѧ̀ є҆севѡ́нска и҆ зе́млю ѡ҆́га царѧ̀ васа́нска:
And thou didst multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land of which thou spokest to their fathers;
καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐπλήθυνας ὡς τοὺς ἀστέρας τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ εἰσήγαγες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν εἶπας τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν αὐτήν.
и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жилъ є҆сѝ сы́ны и҆́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕвѣ́зды небє́сныѧ, и҆ вве́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ въ зе́млю, ѡ҆ не́йже гл҃алъ є҆сѝ ѻ҆тцє́мъ и҆́хъ вни́ти и҆ наслѣ́дити ю҆̀:
And they inherited it: and thou didst destroy from before them the dwellers in the land of the Chananites, and thou gavest into their hands them and their kings, and the nations of the land, to do unto them as it pleased them.
καὶ ἐξέτριψας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς λαοὺς τῆς γῆς ποιῆσαι αὐτοῖς ὡς ἀρεστὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.
(и҆ внидо́ша сы́нове и҆́хъ) и҆ наслѣ́диша зе́млю: и҆ сокрꙋши́лъ є҆сѝ пред̾ ни́ми ѡ҆бита́ющихъ въ землѝ ханане́йстѣй, и҆ да́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ въ рꙋ́кꙋ и҆́хъ, и҆ цари̑ и҆́хъ и҆ лю́ди землѝ, да сотворѧ́тъ и҆̀мъ ꙗ҆́коже ᲂу҆го́дно пред̾ ни́ми:
And they took lofty cities, and inherited houses full of all good things, wells dug, vineyards, and oliveyards, and every fruit tree in abundance: so they ate, and were filled, and grew fat, and rioted in thy great goodness.
καὶ κατελάβοσαν πόλεις ὑψηλὰς καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν οἰκίας πλήρεις πάντων ἀγαθῶν, λάκκους λελατομημένους, ἀμπελῶνας καὶ ἐλαιῶνας καὶ πᾶν ξύλον βρώσιμον εἰς πλῆθος· καὶ ἐφάγοσαν καὶ ἐνεπλήσθησαν καὶ ἐλιπάνθησαν καὶ ἐτρύφησαν ἐν ἀγαθωσύνῃ σου τῇ μεγάλῃ.
и҆ взѧ́ша гра́ды высѡ́кїѧ, и҆ ѡ҆держа́ша до́мы пѡ́лны всѣ́хъ благи́хъ, кла̑дѧзи ѡ҆граждє́ны ка́менїемъ, вїногра́ды и҆ ма̑слины и҆ всѧ́ко дре́во снѣ́дное во мно́жество, и҆ ꙗ҆до́ша и҆ насы́тишасѧ, и҆ ᲂу҆толстѣ́ша и҆ разшири́шасѧ во бл҃гости твое́й вели́цѣй:
But they turned, and revolted from thee, and cast thy law behind their backs; and they slew thy prophets, who testified against them to turn them back to thee, and they wrought great provocations.
καὶ ἤλλαξαν καὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἔρριψαν τὸν νόμον σου ὀπίσω σώματος αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς προφήτας σου ἀπέκτειναν, οἳ διεμαρτύραντο ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτοὺς πρός σε, καὶ ἐποίησαν παροργισμοὺς μεγάλους.
и҆ и҆змѣни́шасѧ и҆ ѿстꙋпи́ша ѿ тебє̀, и҆ поверго́ша зако́нъ тво́й созадѝ пло́ти своеѧ̀, и҆ прⷪ҇ро́ки твоѧ̑ и҆зби́ша, и҆̀же засвидѣ́тельствовахꙋ и҆̀мъ, да ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ къ тебѣ̀, и҆ сотвори́ша хꙋлы̑ вели̑ки:
Then thou gavest them into the hand of them that afflicted them, and they did afflict them: and they cried to thee in the time of their affliction, and thou didst hear them from thy heaven, and in thy great compassions gavest them deliverers, and didst save them from the hand of them that afflicted them.
καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ θλιβόντων αὐτούς, καὶ ἔθλιψαν αὐτούς· καὶ ἀνεβόησαν πρός σε ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως αὐτῶν, καὶ σὺ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ σου ἤκουσας καὶ ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς σου τοῖς μεγάλοις ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς σωτῆρας καὶ ἔσωσας αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς θλιβόντων αὐτούς.
и҆ да́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ въ рꙋ́кꙋ ѡ҆скорблѧ́ющихъ ѧ҆̀, и҆ ѡ҆ѕло́биша и҆̀хъ: и҆ во бре́мѧ печа́ли своеѧ̀ возопи́ша къ тебѣ̀, и҆ ты̀ съ нб҃сѐ твоегѡ̀ ᲂу҆слы́шалъ є҆сѝ, и҆ по щедро́тамъ твои̑мъ мнѡ́гимъ да́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ спаси́телей, и҆ спⷭ҇лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ ѿ рꙋ́къ вра̑гъ и҆́хъ:
But when they rested, they did evil again before thee: so thou leftest them in the hands of their enemies, and they ruled over them: and they cried again to thee, and thou heardest [them] from heaven, and didst deliver them in thy great compassions.
καὶ ὡς ἀνεπαύσαντο, ἐπέστρεψαν ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιόν σου· καὶ ἐγκατέλιπες αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ κατῆρξαν ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ πάλιν ἀνεβόησαν πρός σε, καὶ σὺ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ εἰσήκουσας καὶ ἐρρύσω αὐτοὺς ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς σου πολλοῖς.
и҆ є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆поко́ишасѧ, возврати́шасѧ сотвори́ти лꙋка́вое пред̾ тобо́ю: и҆ ѡ҆ста́вилъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ въ рꙋка́хъ вра̑гъ и҆́хъ, и҆ ѡ҆блада́ша и҆́ми: и҆ па́ки возопи́ша къ тебѣ̀, ты́ же ѿ нб҃сѐ ᲂу҆слы́шалъ є҆сѝ, и҆ и҆зба́вилъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ въ щедро́тахъ твои́хъ мно́зѣхъ,
And thou didst testify against them, to bring them back to thy law: but they hearkened not, but sinned against thy commandments and thy judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and they turned their back, and hardened their neck, and heard not.
καὶ ἐπεμαρτύρω αὐτοῖς ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν νόμον σου, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν, ἀλλ’ ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς σου καὶ κρίμασί σου ἡμάρτοσαν, ἃ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἔδωκαν νῶτον ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ τράχηλον αὐτῶν ἐσκλήρυναν καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν.
и҆ засвидѣ́тельствовалъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ, да ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ къ зако́нꙋ твоемꙋ̀: ѻ҆ни́ же возгордѣ́шасѧ и҆ не послꙋ́шаша, но въ за́повѣдехъ твои́хъ и҆ въ сꙋдьба́хъ твои́хъ согрѣши́ша, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́въ человѣ́къ жи́въ бꙋ́детъ въ ни́хъ: и҆ да́ша плещы̀ непокѡри́выѧ, и҆ вы́ю свою̀ ѡ҆жесточи́ша, и҆ не послꙋ́шаша:
Yet thou didst bear long with them many years, and didst testify to them by thy Spirit by the hand of thy prophets: but they hearkened not; so thou gavest them into the hand of the nations of the land.
καὶ εἵλκυσας ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἔτη πολλὰ καὶ ἐπεμαρτύρω αὐτοῖς ἐν πνεύματί σου ἐν χειρὶ προφητῶν σου· καὶ οὐκ ἠνωτίσαντο, καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ λαῶν τῆς γῆς.
и҆ продолжи́лъ є҆сѝ на ни́хъ лѣ̑та мнѡ́га, и҆ засвидѣ́тельствовалъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ дх҃омъ твои́мъ и҆ рꙋко́ю прⷪ҇рѡ́къ твои́хъ, и҆ не внѧ́ша, и҆ пре́далъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ въ рꙋ́кꙋ люді́й земны́хъ:
But thou in thy many mercies didst not appoint them to destruction, and didst not forsake them; for thou art strong, and merciful, and pitiful.
καὶ σὺ ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς σου τοῖς πολλοῖς οὐκ ἐποίησας αὐτοὺς συντέλειαν καὶ οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες αὐτούς, ὅτι ἰσχυρὸς εἶ καὶ ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων.
въ млⷭ҇рдїихъ же твои́хъ мно́гихъ не сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ въ сконча́нїе, нижѐ ѡ҆ста́вилъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ си́ленъ є҆сѝ и҆ млⷭ҇тивъ и҆ ще́дръ:
And now, O our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the terrible, keeping thy covenant and thy mercy, let not all the trouble seem little in thy sight which has come upon us, and our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and upon all thy people, from the days of the kings of Assur even to this day.
καὶ νῦν, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ὁ ἰσχυρός, ὁ μέγας, ὁ κραταιὸς καὶ ὁ φοβερός, φυλάσσων τὴν διαθήκην σου καὶ τὸ ἔλεός σου, μὴ ὀλιγωθήτω ἐνώπιόν σου πᾶς ὁ μόχθος, ὃς εὗρεν ἡμᾶς καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς προφήτας ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν καὶ ἐν παντὶ τῷ λαῷ σου ἀπὸ ἡμερῶν βασιλέων ᾿Ασσοὺρ καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
и҆ нн҃ѣ, бж҃е на́шъ крѣ́пкїй, вели́кїй, держа́вный и҆ стра́шный, хранѧ́й завѣ́тъ тво́й и҆ млⷭть твою̀, да не ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ ма́лъ пред̾ тобо́ю всѧ́къ трꙋ́дъ, и҆́же ѡ҆брѣ́те на́съ и҆ цари̑ на́шѧ, и҆ нача́льники на́шѧ и҆ свѧще́нники на́шѧ, и҆ прⷪ҇ро́ки на́шѧ и҆ ѻ҆тцы̀ на́шѧ и҆ всѧ̑ лю́ди твоѧ̑, ѿ дні́й царе́й а҆ссꙋ́рскихъ и҆ да́же до днѐ сегѡ̀:
But thou [art] righteous in all the things that come upon us; for thou hast wrought faithfully, but we have greatly sinned.
καὶ σὺ δίκαιος ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐρχομένοις ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς, ὅτι ἀλήθειαν ἐποίησας, καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐξημάρτομεν,
и҆ ты̀ првⷣнъ во всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же прїидо́ша на на́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́стинꙋ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ, мы́ же согрѣши́хомъ:
And our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our fathers, have not performed thy law, and have not given heed to thy commandments, and [have not kept] thy testimonies which thou didst testify to them.
καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ἡμῶν καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἡμῶν καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν οὐκ ἐποίησαν τὸν νόμον σου καὶ οὐ προσέσχον τῶν ἐντολῶν σου καὶ τὰ μαρτύριά σου, ἃ διεμαρτύρω αὐτοῖς.
и҆ ца́рїе на́ши и҆ нача̑льницы на́ши, и҆ свѧще́нницы на́ши и҆ ѻ҆тцы̀ на́ши не сотвори́ша зако́на твоегѡ̀ и҆ не внима́ша повелѣ́нїємъ твои̑мъ и҆ свидѣ́нїємъ твои̑мъ, и҆́миже засвидѣ́тельствовалъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ,
And they did not serve thee in thy kingdom, and in thy great goodness which thou gavest to them, and in the large and fat land which thou didst furnish before them, and they turned not from their evil devices.
καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐν βασιλείᾳ σου καὶ ἐν ἀγαθωσύνῃ σου τῇ πολλῇ, ᾗ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ πλατείᾳ καὶ λιπαρᾷ, ᾗ ἔδωκας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, οὐκ ἐδούλευσάν σοι καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπὸ ἐπιτηδευμάτων αὐτῶν τῶν πονηρῶν.
и҆ ті́и во црⷭ҇твїи твое́мъ и҆ во бл҃госты́ни твое́й мно́зѣ, ю҆́же да́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ, и҆ въ землѝ широ́цѣй и҆ тꙋ́чнѣй, ю҆́же да́лъ є҆сѝ пред̾ ни́ми, не послꙋжи́ша тебѣ̀ и҆ не ѿврати́шасѧ ѿ начина́нїй свои́хъ лꙋка́выхъ:
Behold, we are servants this day, and [as for] the land which thou gavest to our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good things of it, behold, we are servants upon it:
ἰδοὺ σήμερόν ἐσμεν δοῦλοι, καὶ ἡ γῆ, ἣν ἔδωκας τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν φαγεῖν τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ ἀγαθὰ αὐτῆς, ἰδού ἐσμεν δοῦλοι ἐπ’ αὐτῆς,
сѐ, мы̀ дне́сь є҆смы̀ рабѝ, и҆ землѧ̀, ю҆́же да́лъ є҆сѝ ѻ҆тцє́мъ на́шымъ ꙗ҆́сти пло́дъ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ блага̑ѧ є҆ѧ̀, сѐ, є҆смы̀ рабѝ на не́й:
and its produce [is] abundant for the kings whom thou didst appoint over us because of our sins; and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, as it pleases them, and we are in great affliction.
καὶ οἱ καρποὶ αὐτῆς πολλοὶ τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν, οἷς ἔδωκας ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς ἐν ἁμαρτίαις ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ σώματα ἡμῶν ἐξουσιάζουσι καὶ ἐν κτήνεσιν ἡμῶν ὡς ἀρεστὸν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐν θλίψει μεγάλῃ ἐσμέν.
и҆ плоды̀ є҆ѧ̀ мно́зи царє́мъ, и҆̀мже пре́далъ є҆сѝ на́съ за грѣхѝ на́шѧ, и҆ тѣлесы̀ на́шими влады́чествꙋютъ и҆ скѡты̀ на́шими, ꙗ҆́коже ᲂу҆го́дно и҆̀мъ, и҆ въ печа́ли вели́цѣй є҆смы̀:
And in regard to all these circumstances we make a covenant, and write [it], and our princes, our Levites, [and] our priests, set their seal to [it].
καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις ἡμεῖς διατιθέμεθα πίστιν καὶ γράφομεν, καὶ ἐπισφραγίζουσιν ἄρχοντες ἡμῶν, Λευῖται ἡμῶν, ἱερεῖς ἡμῶν.
и҆ во всѣ́хъ си́хъ мы̀ полага́емъ завѣ́тъ вѣ́ренъ и҆ пи́шемъ, и҆ печа́таютъ всѝ нача̑льницы на́ши, леѵі́ти на́ши и҆ свѧще́нницы на́ши.
Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel assembled with fasting, and in sackcloths, and with ashes on their head.
ΚΑΙ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ εἰκοστῇ καὶ τετάρτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τούτου συνήχθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν νηστείᾳ καὶ ἐν σάκκοις καὶ σποδῷ ἐπὶ κεφαλῆς αὐτῶν.
Въ де́нь же два́десѧть четве́ртый мцⷭ҇а сегѡ̀ собра́шасѧ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы въ постѣ̀ и҆ во вре́тищихъ, и҆ пе́рсть на глава́хъ и҆́хъ.
