¹

Рече г~ь і%ѓвђ, бђрею и^ ѓ%блакомъ,

¹

And after Elius had ceased from speaking, the Lord spoke to Job through the whirlwind and clouds, saying,

²

кт^о с^е е^сть тая'и эT мене съвњтъ. ё^дръжа'яи же гл~ы въ срDцы мене же мни'тся таи'ти”

²

Who is this that hides counsel from me, and confines words in his heart, and thinks to conceal them from me?

³

Препояши ја%ко мђж'ъ чре'сла своя, въпрошю же т^я, ты же м^и эTвњща'и”

³

Gird thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me.

⁴

Гдњ б^њ е^гда` ѓ^сновахъ ꙁе'млю повњжDь м^и а^ще съвњси ра'ꙁђмᲆ”

⁴

Where wast thou when I founded the earth? tell me now, if thou hast knowledge,

⁵

кт^о положи мњ'ры ея` а^ще съвњси, и^ли кт^о нанесы'и ве'рвь на ню`”

⁵

who set the measures of it, if thou knowest? or who stretched a line upon it?

⁶

на че'мже сто'лпи ея` ё^тверже'ни сђть, кт^о же е^сть вложе'и ка'мень ё^го'лныи на ню`”

⁶

On what are its rings fastened? and who is he that laid the corner-stone upon it?

⁷

Є$гда` бы'ша ѕвњзды, въсхвали'ша м^я гла'сомъ ве'лїемъ вс^и а^гг~ли мои.

⁷

When the stars were made, all my angels praised me with a loud voice.

⁸

ꙁагради'хъ же мо'ре вра'ты, е^гда ся раждаа'ше и^с чре'ва мт~ре своея и^схожDаше”

⁸

And I shut up the sea with gates, when it rushed out, coming forth out of its mother's womb.

⁹

Положихъ же е^мђ ѓ%блакъ ѓ^дњя'нїе, те'мность ея` роди'хъ

⁹

And I made a cloud its clothing, and swathed it in mist.

¹⁰

и^ положихъ е'и предњлъ, ѓ^бложи'вᲆ ꙁатворы и^ вра'ты.

¹⁰

And I set bounds to it, surrounding it with bars and gates.

¹¹

рњх же е^мђ до сего прїидеши и^ не преидеши, н^о в себњ с^и съкрђша'т ти ся во'лны.

¹¹

And I said to it, Hitherto shalt thou come, but thou shalt not go beyond, but thy waves shall be confined within thee.

¹²

и^ли при тебњ сътавихъ свњтъ ё%тренїи, дн~ьнница же вњ'сть чи'нъ свои”

¹²

Or did I order the morning light in thy time; and did the morning star then first see his appointed place;

¹³

ЈА/тися ꙁа кри'лђ ꙁемля`, эTтрясти нечести'выя эT нея”

¹³

to lay hold of the extremities of the earth, to cast out the ungodly out of it?

¹⁴

и^ли т^ы бре'нїе вꙁе'мъ эT земли` съꙁда'лъ е^си живо'тно, и^ гл~иваго посади'лъ е^си на ꙁемли`”

¹⁴

Or didst thou take clay of the ground, and form a living creature, and set it with the power of speech upon the earth?

¹⁵

эTја%лъ же эT нечsтивыхъ свTњ, мы'шцђ же велича'выX съкрђши л^и”

¹⁵

And hast thou removed light from the ungodly, and crushed the arm of the proud?

¹⁶

прїиде же ли на и^сто'чники мо'ря, стопа'ми же ли по беꙁднњ ходи'лъ е^си”

¹⁶

Or hast thou gone to the source of the sea, and walked in the tracks of the deep?

¹⁷

эTвръза'ют же ли ти ся стра'хомᲆ вра'та смр~ти, вра'тницы же ли а%довы ви'дњвше т^я ё^боя'шеся.

¹⁷

And do the gates of death open to thee for fear; and did the porters of hell quake when they saw thee?

¹⁸

ё^вњси ли же широтђ поDнбsныя, повњ'ж же ми коли'ка е^сть.

¹⁸

And hast thou been instructed in the breadth of the whole earth under heaven? tell me now, what is the extent of it?

¹⁹

въ коеи же ꙁемли` вселя'ется свњтъ, тњ'мже кое е^сть мњсто”

¹⁹

And in what kind of a land does the light dwell? and of what kind is the place of darkness?

²⁰

а^ще ё^бо веде'ши м^я въ предњ'лы и^хъ, а^ще же ли и^ вњси стеѕя` и^хъ”

²⁰

If thou couldest bring me to their utmost boundaries, and if also thou knowest their paths;

²¹

Вњ'м б^о ја%котогда` роже'нᲆ е^си, число же лњтъ твои^хъ мно'го”

²¹

I know then that thou wert born at that time, and the number of thy years is great.

²²

Прїиде ли въ сокро'вищиX снњга, съкро'вища же гра'да видњ ли”

²²

But hast thou gone to the treasures of snow? and hast thou seen the treasures of hail?

²³

щадиT же ли ти ся в ча'съ вра'гъ, и^ли въ дн~ь ра'ти и^ сва'ра”

²³

And is there a store of them, for thee against the time of thine enemies, for the day of wars and battle?

²⁴

эTкђ'ды же ли и^схо'диT сла'на, е^ю'же разсыпа'ется ю%гъ на поDнбsнђю”

²⁴

And whence proceeds the frost? or whence is the south wind dispersed over the whole world under heaven?

²⁵

Кт^о же ли ё^готовалъ до'ждю ве'лїю пролїя'нїе, пђть же моlнїина гро'ма.

²⁵

And who prepared a course for the violent rain, and a way for the thunders;

²⁶

ѓ^дожди'ти ꙁе'млю на не'иже нњсть мђж'а, и^ пђсты'ню и^деже чл~ка нњсть в не'и”

²⁶

to rain upon the land where there is no man, the wilderness, where there is not a man in it; so as to feed the untrodden and uninhabited land,

²⁷

Насыти'ти непроходи'мђ неселе'нђ, проꙁябнђти и^схо'да ꙁла'ка”

²⁷

and cause it to send forth a crop of green herbs?

²⁸

Кт^о е^сть до'ждю эTц~ъ, кт^о же е^сть рождїи дђ'ги, грђдїе росное,

²⁸

Who is the rain's father? and who has generated the drops of dew?

²⁹

и^с чїего чре'ва и^схо'диT ле'дъ, сла'нђ же на нб~се кт^о родилъ,

²⁹

And out of whose womb comes the ice? and who has produced the frost in the sky,

³⁰

і^ и^схо'дитъ ја%ко вода` текђщїа. лице нечести'ва кт^о эTтря'слъ е^сть.

³⁰

which descends like flowing water? who has terrified the face of the ungodly?

³¹

разђмlњ же ли е^си` соё'зъ власо желиu, и^ ѓ^граже'нїе крђжи'лицъ эTве'рꙁлъ е^си.

³¹

And dost thou understand the band of Pleias, and hast thou opened the barrier of Orion?

³²

и^ли эTвръꙁе'ши ѕвњꙁдђ въ вре'мя ея`, и^ вече'рню ѕвњꙁдђ вла'сы ея` привлече'ши ли”

³²

Or wilt thou reveal Mazuroth in his season, and the evening star with his rays? Wilt thou guide them?

³³

Съвњси же ли премњне'нїя нбsныя, и^ли быва'ющее въкђпњ поD нб~семъ”

³³

And knowest thou the changes of heaven, or the events which take place together under heaven?

³⁴

Приꙁове'ши ли ѓ^блакъ гла'соM, и^ трясенїемъ во'дђ, послђшает# ли т^и.

³⁴

And wilt thou call a cloud with thy voice, and will it obey thee with a violent shower of much rain?

³⁵

по'слеши же ли блᲇски и^ по'идђт#, рекђ же ли т^и чт^о е^сть”

³⁵

And wilt thou send lightnings, and they shall go? and shall they say to thee, What is thy pleasure?

³⁶

Кт^о же да'лъ е^сть жена'мъ тка'нїя премђ'дрость, и^ли и^з мечта'нїа мно'гїа хи'трость”

³⁶

And who has given to women skill in weaving, or knowledge of embroidery?

³⁷

Кт^о же четы'и ѓ%блаки премђ'дростїю, нб~о же на' землю преклони'лъ”

³⁷

And who is he that numbers the clouds in wisdom, and has bowed the heaven down to the earth?

³⁸

Раꙁлїя же ся ја%ко земля` пра'шна, прилњпиl же е^сть ја%коже камы'къ на четы'ри ё%глы”

³⁸

For it is spread out as dusty earth, and I have cemented it as one hewn stone to another.

³⁹

Оу^ло'виши ли льво'мъ ја%дь, и^ дш~а ѕмїевы насыти'ши ли”

³⁹

And wilt thou hunt a prey for the lions? and satisfy the desires of the serpents?

⁴⁰

ё^боя'т# бо ся на ло'жиX свои^хъ, сњдят# же и^ в берълоꙁњ а%лчюще”

⁴⁰

For they fear in their lairs, and lying in wait couch in the woods.

⁴¹

Кт^о же вра'нђ ё^гото'ва пи'щђ, пти'щь б^о е^го къ г~ђ възва'ша, ꙁаблђжа'юще бра'шна и%щђще”

⁴¹

And who has prepared food for the raven? for its young ones wander and cry to the Lord, in search of food.
