¹

Посeмъ tвeрзе јwвъ ўстA сво‰ и3 проклS дeнь св0й,

¹

After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day,

²

глаг0лz:

²

saying,

³

да поги1бнетъ дeнь, въ џньже роди1хсz, и3 н0щь џнаz, въ ню1же рёша: сE, мyжескъ п0лъ:

³

Let the day perish in which I was born, and that night in which they said, Behold a man-child!

⁴

тA н0щь бyди тмA, и3 да не взhщетъ є3S гDь свhше, нижE да пріи1детъ на ню2 свётъ,

⁴

Let that night be darkness, and let not the Lord regard it from above, neither let light come upon it.

⁵

и3 да пріи1метъ ю5 тмA и3 сёнь смeртнаz, да пріи1детъ на ню2 сумрaкъ: пр0клzтъ бyди дeнь т0й

⁵

But let darkness and the shadow of death seize it; let blackness come upon it;

⁶

и3 н0щь џнаz: да пости1гнетъ ю5 тмA, да не бyдетъ во днeхъ лёта, нижE да вчи1слитсz во днeхъ мцcей:

⁶

let that day and night be cursed, let darkness carry them away; let it not come into the days of the year, neither let it be numbered with the days of the months.

⁷

но н0щь џнаz да бyдетъ болёзнь, и3 да не пріи1детъ на ню2 весeліе и3 рaдость,

⁷

But let that night be pain, and let not mirth come upon it, nor joy.

⁸

но да прокленeтъ ю5 проклинazй т0й дeнь, и4же и4мать њдолёти вели1каго ки1та:

⁸

But let him that curses that day curse it, even he that is ready to attack the great whale.

⁹

да помeркнутъ ѕвёзды тоS н0щи, да њжидaетъ и3 на свётъ да не пріи1детъ, и3 да не ви1дитъ денни1цы возсіzвaющіz,

⁹

Let the stars of that night be darkened; let it remain dark, and not come into light; and let it not see the morning star arise:

¹⁰

ћкw не затвори2 врaтъ чрeва мaтере моеS: tsла бо бы2 болёзнь t џчію моє1ю:

¹⁰

because it shut not up the gates of my mother's womb, for so it would have removed sorrow from my eyes.

¹¹

почт0 бо во ўтр0бэ не ўмр0хъ; и3з8 чрeва же и3зшeдъ, и3 ѓбіе не погиб0хъ;

¹¹

For why died I not in the belly? and why did I not come forth from the womb and die immediately?

¹²

почт0 же мS пріsша на кwлёна; почт0 же ссaхъ сосц†;

¹²

And why did the knees support me? and why did I suck the breasts?

¹³

нн7э ќбw ўснyвъ ўмолчaлъ бhхъ, ўснyвъ же почи1лъ бhхъ

¹³

Now I should have lain down and been quiet, I should have slept and been at rest,

¹⁴

со царьми2 и3 совBтники земли2, и5же хвалsхусz nр{жіи,

¹⁴

with kings and councillors of the earth, who gloried in their swords;

¹⁵

и3ли2 со кн‰зи, и5мже мн0гw злaта, и5же нап0лниша д0мы сво‰ сребрA,

¹⁵

or with rulers, whose gold was abundant, who filled their houses with silver:

¹⁶

и3ли2 ћкоже и4звергъ и3злaзzй и3з8 ложeснъ мaтернихъ, и3ли2 ћкоже младeнцы, и5же не ви1дэша свёта:

¹⁶

or I should have been as an untimely birth proceeding from his mother's womb, or as infants who never saw light.

¹⁷

тaмw нечести1віи ўтоли1ша ћрость гнёва, тaмw почи1ша претруждeнніи тёломъ,

¹⁷

There the ungodly have burnt out the fury of rage; there the wearied in body rest.

¹⁸

вкyпэ же въ вёцэ сeмъ бhвшіи не слhшатъ глaса собирaющагw дaнь:

¹⁸

And the men of old time have together ceased to hear the exactor's voice.

¹⁹

мaлъ и3 вели1къ тaмw є4сть, и3 рaбъ не боsйсz господи1на своегw2:

¹⁹

The small and great are there, and the servant that feared his lord.

²⁰

почт0 бо дaнъ є4сть сyщымъ въ г0рести свётъ и3 сyщымъ въ болёзнехъ душaмъ жив0тъ,

²⁰

For why is light given to those who are in bitterness, and life to the souls which are in griefs?

²¹

и5же желaютъ смeрти и3 не получaютъ, и4щуще ћкоже сокр0вища,

²¹

who desire death, and obtain it not, digging for it as for treasures;

²²

њбрaдовани же бывaютъ, ѓще ўлучaтъ (смeрть);

²²

and would be very joyful if they should gain it?

²³

смeрть бо мyжу пок0й, є3гHже пyть сокровeнъ є4сть, затвори1 бо бGъ w4крестъ є3гw2:

²³

Death is rest to such a man, for God has hedged him in.

²⁴

прeжде бо брaшенъ мои1хъ воздыхaніе ми2 прих0дитъ, слезю1 же ѓзъ њдержи1мь стрaхомъ,

²⁴

For my groaning comes before my food, and I weep being beset with terror.

²⁵

стрaхъ бо, є3гHже ўжасaхсz, пріи1де ми2, и3 є3гHже боsхсz, срёте мS:

²⁵

For the terror of which I meditated has come upon me, and that which I had feared has befallen me.

²⁶

ни ўмири1хсz, нижE ўмолчaхъ, нижE почи1хъ, и3 нaйде ми2 гнёвъ.

²⁶

I was not at peace, nor quiet, nor had I rest; yet wrath came upon me.
