¹

Сїя прьвозда'нънаго эTц~а ми'рђ е^ді'но създа'на съхрани`, і^ и^зведе е^го эT грњха еh.

¹

She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall,

²

даде' же е^мђ крњпость содрᲆжа'ти вся'ческая.

²

and gave him power to rule all things.

³

эTстђпи' же эT нея непра'ведне въ гнњве е^го, братоё^бїическими поги'бе ја%роsми.

³

But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.

⁴

сего ра'ди потопля'емђ ꙁе'млю, па'ки сп~се премђдрость” въ составле'нїю древа пра'веднаго съблюде`.

⁴

For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.

⁵

сїя и^ во е^ді'номы'слїи лђка'въсᲄва ја^зы'ческа, сотря'сши ѓ^брњте` пра'веднаго и^ съхрани` е^го непоро'чна б~ђ, и^ на ча'дᲇ млsть крњпкђ снабди`.

⁵

Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion toward his son.

⁶

сїя пра'веDнаh эT погиба'ющихъ нечести'выX и^зба'ви бњжа'щаго, ѓ^гня` ниꙁходя'ща на пять гра'дъ,

⁶

When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities.

⁷

е^гоже е^ще свњдњтельство лђка'въствїя дымя'щися стоиT пђсте, и^ неи^сконча'ными вре'мены плодонося'ща древеса`. и^ невњрныя дш~а па'мять стоя'щи столпъ слаn

⁷

Of whose wickedness, even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.

⁸

Премђдрость б^о ми'моходя'щїи не токмо съгрњши'ша е^же не вњдњти е^я` бл~га, н^о и^ беꙁђмїя свое^го ѓ^ста'виша жи'тїю па'мять, в ни'хже согрњши'ша да не възмо'гђтъ ё^таи^ти.

⁸

For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.

⁹

премђдрость же слђжа'щиX е'и эT болеꙁнеи и^ꙁба'ви.

⁹

But wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her.

¹⁰

сїя бњгльца гнњва бра'та пра'веднаго наста'ви въ стеꙁя` пра'вы и^ покаꙁа` е^мђ цр~ьствїе бж~їе. и^ да'сть е^мђ ра'ꙁђмъ ст~ыхъ, почти` е^го въ трђдехъ, и^ ё^мно'жи трђды е^го.

¹⁰

When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath, she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours.

¹¹

въ ѓ^биде ѓ^дръжа'щихъ е^го, преDста` е^мђ и^ ѓ^богати` е^го,

¹¹

In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.

¹²

и^ съхрани` е^го эT вра'гъ, и^ эT лая'телїи защити` е^го. и^ поDвиh крњпокъ даде` е^мђ, да ё^вњсть ја%ко всњхъ силнњ'и е^сть бл~гочесᲄїе”

¹²

She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that godliness is stronger than all.

¹³

Сїа проданаго правеDнаго не ѓ^ста'ви, н^о и^ эT грњха` и^зба'ви е^го” сни'де же с ниM в ро'въ,

¹³

When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,

¹⁴

и^ въ ё'ꙁахъ не ѓ^ста'ви е^го. дондеже принесе е^мђ скљ'петръ цр~ьствїя, и^ вла'сть на мђча'щиX е^го. и^ л#живыX же покаꙁа` поро'к# сътворшиX на'нь, и^ даде` е^мђ сла'вђ вњчнђю”

¹⁴

and left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.

¹⁵

Сїя людїи пра'ведныхъ и^ сњмя непоро'чное и^ꙁба'ви, эT ја^ꙁы'къ ѓ^скорбля'ю^щихъ.

¹⁵

She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.

¹⁶

вни'де въ дш~ђ раба` гн~я, и^ въста` противђ цр~еи стра'шнымъ в чюдесехъ и^ ꙁна'менїихъ.

¹⁶

She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;

¹⁷

и^ въꙁда` прпDбнымъ м#здђ` трђдовъ и^хъ, и^ наста'ви и^хъ въ пђть ди'венъ. и^ бысть и^мъ въ покро'въ днем#, и^ въ пла'мень ѕвњꙁдъ в нощи.

¹⁷

rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided them in a marvellous way, and was unto them for a cover by day, and a light of stars in the night season;

¹⁸

и^ проведе` и^хъ по морю чрьмномђ, и^ проведе` и^х# сквоѕᲇ во'дђ ꙁњлнђ.

¹⁸

brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much water:

¹⁹

враги же и^хъ потопи`, и^ эT глђби'нныя беꙁдны и^зврњ` и^хъ”

¹⁹

but she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.

²⁰

Сего ради пра'веднїи вꙁя'ша коры'сти нечести'выхъ. и^ въспњша г~и и%мя ст~ое твое, и^ ѓ^долњтелницђ рђ'кђ твою похвали'ша е^ді'нодђшне.

²⁰

Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thine hand, that fought for them.

²¹

ја^ко премђдрость эTврьꙁе ё^ста нњмыхъ, и^ ја^ꙁы'цы младе'нцемъ сътвори` ја%сны”

²¹

For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of them that cannot speak eloquent.
