И# њбрати1хсz ѓзъ и3 ви1дэхъ вс‰ њклевєтaніz быв†ющаz под8 с0лнцемъ: и3 сE, слeзы њклеветaнныхъ, и3 нёсть и5мъ ўтэшaющагw, и3 t руки2 клевeщущихъ на нS крёпость, и3 нёсть и5мъ ўтэшaющагw.

¹

So I returned, and saw all the oppressions that were done under the sun: and behold the tear of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of them that oppressed them was power; but they had no comforter:

²

И# похвали1хъ ѓзъ всёхъ ўмeршихъ, и5же ўмр0ша ўжE, пaче живhхъ, є3ли1цы жи1ви сyть досeлэ:

²

and I praised all the dead that had already died more than the living, as many as are alive until now.

³

и3 блaгъ пaче nбои1хъ си1хъ, и4же є3щE не бhсть, и4же не ви1дэ всsкагw сотворeніz лукaвагw сотворeннагw под8 с0лнцемъ.

³

Better also than both these is he who has not yet been, who has not seen all the evil work that is done under the sun.

⁴

И# ви1дэхъ ѓзъ вeсь трyдъ и3 всsко мyжество сотворeніz, ћкw сіE рeвность мyжа t п0друга своегw2. И# сіE суетA и3 произволeніе дyха.

⁴

And I saw all labour, and all the diligent work, that this is a man's envy from his neighbour. This is also vanity and waywardness of spirit.

⁵

Безyмный њб8sтъ рyцэ свои2 и3 снэдE плHти сво‰.

⁵

The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh.

⁶

Блaго є4сть и3сполнeніе г0рсти пок0z, пaче и3сполнeніz двою2 гHрстію трудA и3 произволeніz дyха.

⁶

Better is a handful of rest than two handfuls of trouble and waywardness of spirit.

⁷

И# њбрати1хсz ѓзъ и3 ви1дэхъ сyетство под8 с0лнцемъ:

⁷

So I returned, and saw vanity under the sun.

⁸

є4сть є3ди1нъ, и3 нёсть вторaгw, ни сhна, нижE брaта нёсть є3мY, и3 нёсть концA всемY трудY є3гw2, нижE џко є3гw2 насыщaетсz богaтства. И# комY ѓзъ труждaюсz и3 лишaю дyшу мою2 t благостhни; И# сіE суетA и3 попечeніе лукaвно є4сть.

⁸

There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he has neither son nor brother: yet there is no end to all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; and for whom do I labour, and deprive my soul of good? this is also vanity, and an evil trouble.

⁹

Блaзи двA пaче є3ди1нагw, и5мже є4сть мздA блaга въ трудЁ и4хъ:

⁹

Two are better than one, seeing they have a good reward for their labour.

¹⁰

ћкw ѓще падeтсz є3ди1нъ t ни1хъ, воздви1гнетъ другjй причaстника своего2: и3 г0ре томY є3ди1ному, є3гдA падeтъ и3 не бyдетъ вторaгw воздви1гнути є3го2.

¹⁰

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls, and there is not a second to lift him up.

¹¹

И# ѓще ќснета двA, тепло2 и4ма бyдетъ, ґ є3ди1нъ кaкw согрёетсz;

¹¹

Also if two should lie together, they also get heat: but how shall one be warmed alone?

¹²

И# ѓще ўкрэпи1тсz є3ди1нъ, двA стaнета проти1ву є3мY: и3 вeрвь треплетeна не ск0рw раст0ргнетсz.

¹²

And if one should prevail against him, the two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord shall not be quickly broken.

¹³

Блaгъ џтрокъ ни1щь и3 мyдръ, пaче стaра царS и3 безyмна, и4же не разумЁ внимaти є3щE:

¹³

Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who knows not how to take heed any longer.

¹⁴

ћкw и3з8 д0му ю4зникwвъ и3зhдетъ цaрствовати, понeже и3 въ цaрствэ своeмъ роди1сz ни1щь.

¹⁴

For he shall come forth out of the house of the prisoners to reign, because he also that was in his kingdom has become poor.

¹⁵

Ви1дэхъ всёхъ живyщихъ, ходsщихъ под8 с0лнцемъ, съ ю4нымъ вторhмъ, и4же востaнетъ вмёстw є3гw2.

¹⁵

I beheld all the living who were walking under the sun, with the second youth who shall stand up in each one's place.

¹⁶

Нёсть концA всBмъ лю1демъ, всBмъ, и5же пред8 ни1ми бhша, и4бо послёдніи не возвеселsтсz њ нeмъ: ћкw и3 сіE суетA и3 произволeніе дyха.

¹⁶

There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them: and the last shall not rejoice in him: for this also is vanity and waywardness of spirit.

¹⁷

Сохрани2 н0гу твою2, є3гдA ѓще и4деши въ д0мъ б9ій, и3 бли1з8 (бyди) є4же слyшати: пaче даsніz безyмныхъ жeртва твоS, понeже не вёдzтъ, ћкw творsтъ ѕло2.

¹⁷

Keep thy foot, whensoever thou goest to the house of God; and when thou art near to hear, let thy sacrifice be better than the gift of fools: for they know not that they are doing evil.
