¹

Отвњща' же і%ѓвъ и^ рече.

¹

But Job answered and said,

²

слы'шахъ си'це, мно'готњшителе зо'лъ вс^и.

²

I have heard many such things: poor comforters are ye all.

³

что' бо е^да чи'нъ е^сть словесы` дх~а, и^л^и кђ'ю ти па'кость съᲄворитъ. ја%коже эTвњща'еши,

³

What! is there any reason in vain words? or what will hinder thee from answering?

⁴

и^ а^ꙁъ ја%коже в^ы въꙁ#гл~ю. а^ще же поDлежа'лA дш~а ва'ша за мою`, а^ще наскакаX на' вы словесы`, покива'а главо'ю на вы.

⁴

I also will speak as ye do: if indeed your soul were in my soul's stead, then would I insult you with words, and I would shake my head at you.

⁵

бђди же крњпость въ ё^стњхъ моиX, движе'нїа же ё^стнђ` мое'ю не пощажђ`

⁵

And would there were strength in my mouth, and I would not spare the movement of my lips.

⁶

а^ще б^о възгл~ю не воꙁболю ли` ра'ны, н^о сътворю` с^и трђдъ. а^ще ли же ё^молчю`, чт^о ме'ншими ё^ја^зве'нᲆ бђдђ.

⁶

For if I should speak, I shall not feel the pain of my wound: and if I should be silent, how shall I be wounded the less?

⁷

нн~њ же престђжена м^я сътвори` бђя' согни'вша. и^ я'тъ м^я

⁷

But now he has made me weary, and a worn-out fool; and thou hast laid hold of me.

⁸

и^ въ послђшество бых#, и^ въста`въ мн^њ лжа` моя. прямо лицђ` мое^мђ эTвњща`,

⁸

My falsehood has become a testimony, and has risen up against me: it has confronted me to my face.

⁹

гнњ венъ быv низложи м^я. въскрежета` ꙁђбы на' мя, стрњ'лы и^скђсникъ е^го нападо'ша на' мя.

⁹

In his anger he has cast me down; he has gnashed his teeth upon me: the weapons of his robbers have fallen upon me.

¹⁰

стрњла'ми ѓ^чїю наскака`, и^ ѓ^стрїеM пораꙁи` м^я въ колњнњ, вкђпњ натеко'ша на мя,

¹⁰

He has attacked me with the keen glances of his eyes; with his sharp spear he has smitten me down upon my knees; and they have run upon me with one accord.

¹¹

предасть б^о м^я г~ь в рђки непра'ведныX, на нечести'выяy поврь'же м^я,

¹¹

For the Lord has delivered me into the hands of unrighteous men, and thrown me upon the ungodly.

¹²

ё^миря'юща рас#сы'па м^я. и%мъ м^я ꙁа вла'сы и ѓ^борва`. поста'ви м^я а^ки стра'жа,

¹²

When I was at peace he distracted me: he took me by the hair of the head, and plucked it out: he set me up as a mark.

¹³

ѓ^быидо'ша м^я ѓ^рђжїи бодђще въ и^стеси мои`. не щадя'ще и^злїяша на ꙁеMлю же'лчь мою`,

¹³

They surrounded me with spears, aiming at my reins: without sparing me they poured out my gall upon the ground.

¹⁴

ниꙁложи'ша м^я стрpђ на стрђпъ, теко'ша къ мнњ могђщеи.

¹⁴

They overthrew me with fall upon fall: they ran upon me in their might.

¹⁵

врњтище соши'ша на ко'жђ мою, и^ мо'щь же моя ё^гасе`.

¹⁵

They sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and my strength has been spent on the ground.

¹⁶

и^ чре'во мое съгорњ` эT пла'ча, на вњждђ же мое'ю стњнь,

¹⁶

My belly has been parched with wailing, and darkness is on my eyelids.

¹⁷

непра'ведно же ни е^ді'но в рђкђ мое'ю. мл~тва же моя чи'ста

¹⁷

Yet there was no injustice in my hands, and my prayer is pure.

¹⁸

ꙁемля` да не покры'еть кро'ви пло'ти моея, ни бђди мњсто во'пля мое^го.

¹⁸

Earth, cover not over the blood of my flesh, and let my cry have no place.

¹⁹

и^ нн~њ е^сть се` на нб~сехъ по'слђхъ мои, свњдњтель же м^и на вы'шнихъ.

¹⁹

And now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.

²⁰

да прїидетъ м^и мо'льба къ г~ђ, преD ним же да ка'плеT м^и ѓ%ко.

²⁰

Let my supplication come to the Lord, and let mine eye weep before him.

²¹

бђди же ѓ^бличе'нїе мђжђ преD гм~ъ, и^ сн~ђ чл~ческомђ бли'жнемђ е^го.

²¹

Oh that a man might plead before the Lord, even as the son of man with his neighbour!

²²

лњта и^сче'тена прїидо'ша, пђте'мъ и^мже не въꙁвращђся по'идђ”

²²

But my years are numbered and their end come, and I shall go by the way by which I shall not return.
