¹

М{хи ўмeршыz згноsютъ є3лeа слaдость: чeстно мaлое мyдрости пaче слaвы вели1ки безyміz.

¹

Pestilent flies will corrupt a preparation of sweet ointment: and a little wisdom is more precious than great glory of folly.

²

Сeрдце мyдрагw њдеснyю є3гw2, сeрдце же безyмнагw њшyюю є3гw2:

²

A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

³

и3 въ пyть є3гдA безyмный и4детъ, сeрдце є3гw2 лишaетсz, и3 ±же помышлsетъ, вс‰ безyміе сyть.

³

Yea, and whenever a fool walks by the way, his heart will fail him, and all that he thinks of is folly.

⁴

Ѓще дyхъ владёющагw взhдетъ на тS, мёста твоегw2 не њстaви: ћкw и3зцэлeніе ўтоли1тъ грэхи2 вели6ки.

⁴

If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for soothing will put an end to great offences.

⁵

Е$сть лукaвство, є4же ви1дэхъ под8 с0лнцемъ, ѓки нев0льно и3зhде t лицA владёющагw:

⁵

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, wherein an error has proceeded from the ruler.

⁶

вдaнъ безyмный въ высwты2 вели6ки, ґ богaтіи во смирeнныхъ сsдутъ:

⁶

The fool has been set in very high places, while rich men would sit in a low one.

⁷

ви1дэхъ рабHвъ на к0нехъ, и3 кнzзeй и3дyщихъ ћкw рабHвъ на земли2.

⁷

I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants on the earth.

⁸

Копazй ћму впадeтъ въ ню2, и3 разорsющаго њгрaду ўгрhзнетъ є3го2 ѕмjй.

⁸

He that digs a pit shall fall into it; and him that breaks down a hedge a serpent shall bite.

⁹

И#з8eмлzй кaменіе поболи1тъ t ни1хъ, разсэцazй дровA бэдY пріи1метъ въ ни1хъ:

⁹

He that removes stones shall be troubled thereby; he that cleaves wood shall be endangered thereby.

¹⁰

ѓще спадeтъ сёчиво, и3 сaмъ лицeмъ смzтeтсz: и3 си6лы ўкрэпи1тъ, и3 и3з8oби1ліе мyжу мyдрость.

¹⁰

If the axe-head should fall off, then the man troubles his countenance, and he must put forth more strength: and in that case skill is of no advantage to a man.

¹¹

Ѓще ўгрhзнетъ ѕмjй не въ шептЁ, и3 нёсть и3зли1шества њбавaющему.

¹¹

If a serpent bite when there is no charmer's whisper, then there is no advantage to the charmer.

¹²

СловесA ќстъ премyдрагw благодaть, ўстнё же безyмнагw потопsтъ є3го2:

¹²

The words of a wise mouth are gracious: but the lips of a fool will swallow him up.

¹³

начaло словeсъ ќстъ є3гw2 безyміе, и3 послBднzz ќстъ є3гw2 прeлесть лукaва.

¹³

The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly: and the end of his talk mischievous madness.

¹⁴

Безyмный ўмножaетъ словесA: не разумЁ человёкъ, что2 бhвшее и3 что2 бyдущее, что2 созади2 є3гw2, (и3) кто2 возвэсти1тъ є3мY;

¹⁴

A fool moreover multiplies words: man knows not what has been, nor what will be: who shall tell him what will come after him?

¹⁵

Трyдъ безyмныхъ њѕл0битъ и5хъ, и4же не разумЁ и3ти2 во грaдъ.

¹⁵

The labour of fools will afflict them, as that of one who knows not to go to the city.

¹⁶

Г0ре тебЁ, грaде, въ нeмже цaрь тв0й ю4нъ, и3 кн‰зи твои2 рaнw kдsтъ.

¹⁶

Woe to thee, O city, whose king is young, and thy princes eat in the morning!

¹⁷

Блажeнна ты2, землE, є3sже цaрь тв0й сhнъ своб0дныхъ, и3 кн‰зи твои2 во врeмz kдsтъ въ си1лэ и3 не постыдsтсz.

¹⁷

Blessed art thou, O land, whose king is a son of nobles, and whose princes shall eat seasonably, for strength, and shall not be ashamed.

¹⁸

Въ лёностехъ смири1тсz стр0пъ, и3 въ прaзднествэ рyкъ прокaплетъ хрaмина.

¹⁸

By slothful neglect a building will be brought low: and by idleness of the hands the house will fall to pieces.

¹⁹

Во смёхъ творsтъ хлёбъ и3 віно2 и3 є3лeй, є4же весели1тисz живyщымъ: и3 сребрA со смирeніемъ послyшаютъ всsчєскаz.

¹⁹

Men prepare bread for laughter, and wine and oil that the living should rejoice: but to money all things will humbly yield obedience.

²⁰

И# въ с0вэсти ќбw твоeй не клени2 царS, и3 въ клёти л0жницы твоеS не клени2 богaтаго: ћкw пти1ца небeснаz донесeтъ глaсъ тв0й, и3 и3мёzй крилB возвэсти1тъ сл0во твоE.

²⁰

Even in thy conscience, curse not the king; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry thy voice, and that which has wings shall report thy speech.
