¹

Въ коне́цъ, сыно́мъ Коре́овымъ, псало́мъ.

¹

For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core.

²

Услы́шите сія́, вси́ язы́цы, внуши́те, вси́ живу́щіи по вселе́ннѣй,

²

Hear these words, all ye nations, hearken, all ye that dwell upon the earth:

³

земноро́дніи же и сы́нове человѣ́честіи, вку́пѣ бога́тъ и убо́гъ.

³

both the sons of mean men, and sons of great men; the rich and poor man together.

⁴

Уста́ моя́ возглаго́лютъ прему́дрость, и поуче́ніє се́рдца моєго́ ра́зумъ.

⁴

My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall bring forth understanding.

⁵

Приклоню́ въ при́тчу у́хо моє́, отве́рзу во псалти́ри гана́ніє моє́.

⁵

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my riddle on the harp.

⁶

Вску́ю бою́ся въ де́нь лю́тъ? Беззако́ніє пяты́ моєя́ обы́детъ мя́.

⁶

Wherefore should I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall compass me.

⁷

Надѣ́ющіися на си́лу свою́ и о мно́жествѣ бога́тства своєго́ хва́лящіися:

⁷

They that trust in their strength, and boast themselves in the multitude of their wealth—

⁸

бра́тъ не изба́витъ, изба́витъ ли человѣ́къ? Не да́стъ Бо́гу измѣ́ны за ся́,

⁸

A brother does not redeem, shall a man redeem? he shall not give to God a ransom for himself,

⁹

и цѣ́ну избавле́нія души́ своєя́: и утруди́ся въ вѣ́къ,

⁹

or the price of the redemption of his soul, though he labour for ever,

¹⁰

и жи́въ бу́детъ до конца́, не у́зритъ па́губы.

¹⁰

and live to the end, so that he should not see corruption.

¹¹

Єгда́ уви́дитъ прему́дрыя умира́ющыя, вку́пѣ безу́менъ и несмы́сленъ поги́бнутъ, и оста́вятъ чужди́мъ бога́тство своє́.

¹¹

When he shall see wise men dying, the fool and the senseless one shall perish together; and they shall leave their wealth to strangers.

¹²

И гро́би и́хъ жили́ща и́хъ во вѣ́къ, селе́нія и́хъ въ ро́дъ и ро́дъ, нареко́ша имена́ своя́ на земля́хъ.

¹²

And their sepulchres are their houses for ever, even their tabernacles to all generations: they have called their lands after their own names.

¹³

И человѣ́къ въ че́сти сы́й не разумѣ́, приложи́ся ското́мъ несмы́сленнымъ и уподо́бися и́мъ.

¹³

And man being in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like to them.

¹⁴

Се́й пу́ть и́хъ собла́знъ и́мъ, и по си́хъ во устѣ́хъ свои́хъ благоволя́тъ.

¹⁴

This their way is an offence to them: yet afterwards men will commend their sayings. Pause.

¹⁵

Я́ко о́вцы во а́дѣ положе́ни су́ть, сме́рть упасе́тъ я́: и облада́ютъ и́ми пра́віи зау́тра, и по́мощь и́хъ обетша́єтъ во а́дѣ: от сла́вы своєя́ изринове́ни бы́ша.

¹⁵

They have laid them as sheep in Hades; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, and their help shall fail in Hades from their glory.

¹⁶

Оба́че Бо́гъ изба́витъ ду́шу мою́ изъ руки́ а́довы, єгда́ пріє́млетъ мя́.

¹⁶

But God shall deliver my soul from the power of Hades, when he shall receive me. Pause.

¹⁷

Не убо́йся, єгда́ разбогатѣ́єтъ человѣ́къ, или́ єгда́ умно́жится сла́ва до́му єго́:

¹⁷

Fear not when a man is enriched, and when the glory of his house is increased.

¹⁸

я́ко внегда́ умре́ти єму́, не во́зметъ вся́, ниже́ сни́детъ съ ни́мъ сла́ва єго́.

¹⁸

For he shall take nothing when he dies; neither shall his glory descend with him.

¹⁹

Я́ко душа́ єго́ въ животѣ́ єго́ благослови́тся, исповѣ́стся тебѣ́, єгда́ благосотвори́ши єму́.

¹⁹

For his soul shall be blessed in his life: he shall give thanks to thee when thou dost well to him.

²⁰

Вни́детъ да́же до ро́да оте́цъ свои́хъ, да́же до вѣ́ка не у́зритъ свѣ́та.

²⁰

Yet he shall go in to the generation of his fathers; he shall never see light.

²¹

И человѣ́къ въ че́сти сы́й не разумѣ́, приложи́ся ското́мъ несмы́сленнымъ и уподо́бися и́мъ.

²¹

Man that is in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like them.
