Не ск0ръ бyди ўсты6 твои1ми, и3 сeрдце твоE да не ўскорsетъ и3зноси1ти сл0во пред8 лицeмъ б9іимъ, ћкw бGъ на нб7си2 горЁ, тh же на земли2 д0лу: сегw2 рaди да бyдутъ словесA тво‰ м†ла:

¹

Be not hasty with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be swift to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven above, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

²

ћкw прих0дитъ с0ніе во мн0жествэ попечeніz, тaкw и3 глaсъ безyмнагw во мн0жествэ словeсъ.

²

For through the multitude of trial a dream comes; and a fool's voice is with a multitude of words.

³

Ѓще њбэщaеши њбётъ бGу, не ўмeдли tдaти є3го2, ћкw нёсть хотёніz въ безyмныхъ: ты2 u5бо, є3ли6ка ѓще њбэщaеши, tдaждь.

³

Whenever thou shalt vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools: pay thou therefore whatsoever thou shalt have vowed.

⁴

Блaго тебЁ є4же не њбэщавaтисz, нeжели њбэщaвшусz тебЁ, не tдaти.

⁴

It is better that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

⁵

Не дaждь ўстнaмъ твои6мъ є4же во грёхъ ввести2 пл0ть твою2, и3 да не речeши пред8 лицeмъ б9іимъ, ћкw невёдэніе є4сть: да не прогнёваетсz бGъ њ глaсэ твоeмъ и3 растли1тъ творє1ніz рyкъ твои1хъ:

⁵

Suffer not thy mouth to lead thy flesh to sin; and say not in the presence of God, It was an error: lest God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the works of thy hands.

⁶

ћкw во мн0жествэ с0ній и3 сyетствіz, (тaкw) и3 словесA мнHга, тёмже бGа б0йсz.

⁶

For there is evil in a multitude of dreams and vanities and many words: but fear thou God.

⁷

Ѓще њби1ду ни1щагw и3 расхищeніе судA и3 прaвды ўви1диши во странЁ, не диви1сz њ вeщи: ћкw выс0кій над8 выс0кимъ надзирaтель, и3 выс0цыи над8 ни1ми,

⁷

If thou shouldest see the oppression of the poor, and the wresting of judgment and of justice in the land, wonder not at the matter: for there is a high one to watch over him that is high, and high ones over them.

⁸

и3 и3з8oби1ліе земли2 над8 всёмъ є4сть цaрь селA воздёланна.

⁸

Also the abundance of the earth is for every one: the king is dependent on the tilled field.

⁹

Любsй сребро2 не насhтитсz сребрA: и3 кто2 наслади1тсz во мн0жествэ є3гw2 плодA; И# сіE суетA.

⁹

He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver: and who has loved gain, in the abundance thereof? this is also vanity.

¹⁰

Во мн0жествэ блaга ўмн0жишасz kдyщіи є5: и3 к0е мyжество и3мyщему є5; ћкw начaло є4же ви1дэти nчи1ма свои1ма.

¹⁰

In the multitude of good they are increased that eat it: and what virtue has the owner, but the right of beholding it with his eyes?

¹¹

С0нъ слaдокъ раб0тающему, ѓще мaлw и3ли2 мн0гw снёсть: ґ насhтившагосz богaтство не њставлsетъ ўснyти.

¹¹

The sleep of a servant is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but to one who is satiated with wealth, there is none that suffers him to sleep.

¹²

Е$сть недyгъ, є3г0же ви1дэхъ под8 с0лнцемъ, богaтство храни1мо t стzжaтелz во ѕло2 є3мY:

¹²

There is an infirmity which I have seen under the sun, namely, wealth kept for its owner to his hurt.

¹³

и3 поги1бнетъ богaтство џно въ попечeніи лукaвнэ: и3 роди2 сhна, и3 нёсть въ руцЁ є3гw2 ничт0же:

¹³

And that wealth shall perish in an evil trouble: and the man begets a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

¹⁴

ћкоже и3зhде и3з8 чрeва мaтере своеS нaгъ, возврати1тсz и3ти2, ћкоже и3 пріи1де, и3 ничт0же в0зметъ t трудA своегw2, да понесeтъ въ руцЁ своeй.

¹⁴

As he came forth naked from his mother's womb, he shall return back as he came, and he shall receive nothing for his labour, that it should go with him in his hand.

¹⁵

И# сіE ѕ0лъ недyгъ: ћкоже бо пріи1де, тaкw и3 tи1детъ, и3 кaz п0льза є3мY, ћкw труди1тсz на вётръ;

¹⁵

And this is also an evil infirmity: for as he came, so also shall he return: and what is his gain, for which he vainly labours?

¹⁶

И$бо вси2 днjе є3гw2 во тмЁ и3 плaчи и3 въ ћрости мн0зэ, и3 въ недyзэ и3 во гнёвэ.

¹⁶

Yea, all his days are in darkness, and in mourning, and much sorrow, and infirmity, and wrath.

¹⁷

СE, ви1дэхъ ѓзъ благ0е, є4же є4сть и3зрsдно, є4же ћсти и3 пи1ти и3 ви1дэти благостhню во всeмъ трудЁ своeмъ, и4мже труди1лсz бы под8 с0лнцемъ, въ число2 днjй животA своегw2, ±же дaлъ є4сть є3мY бGъ, ћкw сіE чaсть є3гw2:

¹⁷

Behold, I have seen good, that it is a fine thing for a man to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his labour in which he may labour under the sun, all the number of the days of his life which God has given to him: for it is his portion.

¹⁸

и4бо всsкому человёку, є3мyже дaлъ є4сть бGъ богaтство и3 и3мBніz, и3 влaсть дадE є3мY ћсти t тогw2 и3 пріsти чaсть свою2 и3 возвесели1тисz њ трудЁ своeмъ, сіE дaръ б9ій є4сть:

¹⁸

Yea, and as for every man to whom God has given wealth and possessions, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to receive his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.

¹⁹

ћкw не мн0го пaмzтствовати и4мать дни6 животA своегw2, понeже бGъ њблагaетъ є3го2 попечeньми въ весeліи сeрдца є3гw2.

¹⁹

For he shall not much remember the days of his life; for God troubles him in the mirth of his heart.
