³

при вратёхъ бо си1льныхъ присэди1тъ, во вх0дэхъ же поeтсz.

³

For she sits by the gates of princes, and sings in the entrances, saying,

⁴

Вaсъ, q, человёцы, молю2, и3 вдаю2 м0й глaсъ сынHмъ человёчєскимъ.

⁴

You, O men, I exhort; and utter my voice to the sons of men.

⁵

Ўразумёйте, неѕл0бивіи, ковaрство, ненакaзанніи же, приложи1те сeрдце.

⁵

O ye simple, understand subtlety, and ye that are untaught, imbibe knowledge.

Послyшайте менE: честн†z бо рекY и3 и3знесY t ўстeнъ пр†ваz.

⁶

Hearken to me; for I will speak solemn truths; and will produce right sayings from my lips.

⁷

For my throat shall meditate truth; and false lips are an abomination before me.

⁸

⁸

All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing in them wrong or perverse.

⁹

Вс‰ пр†ва разумэвaющымъ, и3 пр†ва њбрэтaющымъ рaзумъ.

⁹

They are all evident to those that understand, and right to those that find knowledge.

¹⁰

Пріими1те наказaніе, ґ не сребро2, и3 рaзумъ пaче злaта и3скушeна: и3збирaйте же вёдэніе пaче злaта чи1ста.

¹⁰

Receive instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than tried gold.

¹¹

Лyчши бо премyдрость кaменій многоцённыхъ, всsкое же честн0е недост0йно є3S є4сть.

¹¹

For wisdom is better than precious stones; and no valuable substance is of equal worth with it.

¹²

Ѓзъ премyдрость всели1хъ совётъ, и3 рaзумъ и3 смhслъ ѓзъ призвaхъ.

¹²

I wisdom have dwelt with counsel and knowledge, and I have called upon understanding.

¹³

Стрaхъ гDень ненави1дитъ непрaвды, досаждeніz же и3 гордhни, и3 пути6 лукaвыхъ: возненави1дэхъ же ѓзъ развращє1нныz пути6 ѕлhхъ.

¹³

The fear of the Lord hates unrighteousness, and insolence, and pride, and the ways of wicked men; and I hate the perverse ways of bad men.

¹⁴

М0й совётъ и3 ўтверждeніе, м0й рaзумъ, моs же крёпость.

¹⁴

Counsel and safety are mine: prudence is mine, and strength is mine.

¹⁵

By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

¹⁶

By me nobles become great, and monarchs by me rule over the earth.

Wealth and glory belong to me; yea, abundant possessions and righteousness.

¹⁹

Лyчше є4сть плоди1ти менE, пaче злaта и3 кaменіz дрaга: мои1 же плоды2 лyчше сребрA и3збрaнна.

¹⁹

It is better to have my fruit than to have gold and precious stones; and my produce is better than choice silver.

²⁰

Въ путeхъ прaвды хождY и3 посредЁ стeзь њправдaніz живY,

²⁰

I walk in ways of righteousness, and am conversant with the paths of judgment;

²¹

да раздэлю2 лю1бzщымъ мS и3мёніе, и3 сокрHвища и4хъ и3сп0лню благи1хъ. Ѓще возвэщY вaмъ быв†ющаz на всsкъ дeнь, помzнY, ±же t вёка, и3счести2.

²¹

that I may divide substance to them that love me, and may fill their treasures with good things. If I declare to you the things that daily happen, I will remember also to recount the things of old.

²²

ГDь создa мz [Е#вр.: стzжa мz.] начaло путjй свои1хъ въ дэлA сво‰,

²²

The Lord made me the beginning of his ways for his works.

²³

прeжде вBкъ њсновa мz, въ начaлэ, прeжде нeже зeмлю сотвори1ти,

²³

He established me before time was in the beginning, before he made the earth:

²⁴

и3 прeжде нeже бє1здны содёлати, прeжде нeже произhти и3ст0чникwмъ в0дъ,

²⁴

even before he made the depths; before the fountains of water came forth:

²⁵

прeжде нeже горaмъ водрузи1тисz, прeжде же всёхъ холмHвъ раждaетъ мS.

²⁵

before the mountains were settled, and before all hills, he begets me.

²⁶

ГDь сотвори2 страны6 и3 ненаселє1нныz, и3 концы6 населє1нныz поднебeсныz.

²⁶

The Lord made countries and uninhabited tracts, and the highest inhabited parts of the world.

²⁷

Е#гдA гот0вzше нeбо, съ ни1мъ бёхъ, и3 є3гдA tлучaше пrт0лъ св0й на вётрэхъ,

²⁷

When he prepared the heaven, I was present with him; and when he prepared his throne upon the winds:

²⁸

и3 є3гдA крBпки творsше вы6шніz w4блаки, и3 є3гдA твє1рды полагaше и3ст0чники поднебeсныz,

²⁸

and when he strengthened the clouds above; and when he secured the fountains of the earth:

²⁹

и3 є3гдA полагaше м0рю предёлъ є3гw2, да в0ды не ми1мw и4дутъ ќстъ є3гw2, и3 крBпка творsше њснов†ніz земли2, бёхъ при нeмъ ўстроsющи.

²⁹

and when he strengthened the foundations of the earth:

³⁰

Ѓзъ бёхъ, њ нeйже рaдовашесz, на всsкъ же дeнь веселsхсz пред8 лицeмъ є3гw2 на всsко врeмz,

³⁰

I was by him, suiting myself to him, I was that wherein he took delight; and daily I rejoiced in his presence continually.

³¹

є3гдA веселsшесz вселeнную соверши1въ, и3 веселsшесz њ сынёхъ человёческихъ.

³¹

For he rejoiced when he had completed the world, and rejoiced among the children of men.

³²

Нн7э u5бо, сhне, послyшай менE: и3 блажeни, и5же пути6 мо‰ сохранsтъ.

³²

Now then, my son, hear me: blessed is the man who shall hearken to me, and the mortal who shall keep my ways;

³³

Ўслhшите премyдрость, и3 ўмудри1тесz, и3 не tмещи1те.

³⁴

watching daily at my doors, waiting at the posts of my entrances.

³⁴

Блажeнъ мyжъ, и4же послyшаетъ менE, и3 человёкъ, и4же пути6 мо‰ сохрани1тъ, бдsй при мои1хъ двeрехъ пrнw, соблюдazй прaги мои1хъ вх0дwвъ:

³⁵

For my outgoings are the outgoings of life, and in them is prepared favour from the Lord.

³⁵

и3сх0ди бо мои2 и3сх0ди животA, и3 ўготовлsетсz хотёніе t гDа:

³⁶

But they that sin against me act wickedly against their own souls: and they that hate me love death.

³⁶

согрэшaющіи же въ мS нечeствуютъ на сво‰ дyши, и3 ненави1дzщіи мS лю1бzтъ смeрть.
