| Ко́е и҆з̾ѻби́лїе человѣ́кꙋ во все́мъ трꙋдѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆́мже трꙋди́тсѧ под̾ со́лнцемъ; | What advantage is there to a man in all his labour that he takes under the sun? |

| Что̀ бы́ло, то́жде є҆́сть, є҆́же бꙋ́детъ: и҆ что̀ бы́ло сотворе́ное, то́жде и҆́мать сотвори́тисѧ: | What is that which has been? the very thing which shall be: and what is that which has been done? the very thing which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. |

| А҆́зъ є҆кклесїа́стъ бы́хъ ца́рь над̾ і҆и҃лемъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ | I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. |
|
13
|
13
|
| и҆ вда́хъ се́рдце моѐ, є҆́же взыска́ти и҆ разсмотри́ти въ мꙋ́дрости ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ быва́ющихъ под̾ небесе́мъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ попече́нїе лꙋка́во дадѐ бг҃ъ сынѡ́мъ человѣ́чєскимъ, є҆́же оу҆пражднѧ́тисѧ въ не́мъ. | And I applied my heart to seek out and examine by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven, for God has given to the sons of men an evil trouble to be troubled therewith. |
|
14
|
14
|
| Ви́дѣхъ всѧ́чєскаѧ сотворє́нїѧ сотворє́ннаѧ под̾ со́лнцемъ: и҆ сѐ, всѧ̑ сꙋ́етство и҆ произволе́нїе дꙋ́ха. | I beheld all the works that were wrought under the sun; and, behold, all were vanity and waywardness of spirit. |

15
|
| Развраще́нное не мо́жетъ и҆спра́витисѧ, и҆ лише́нїе не мо́жетъ и҆зчи́слитисѧ. | That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and deficiency cannot be numbered. |

|
17
|
17
|
| и҆ се́рдце моѐ вда́хъ, є҆́же вѣ́дѣти премꙋ́дрость и҆ ра́зꙋмъ: и҆ се́рдце моѐ ви́дѣ мнѡ́гаѧ, премꙋ́дрость и҆ ра́зꙋмъ, при̑тчи и҆ хи́трость: оу҆разꙋмѣ́хъ а҆́зъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ сїѐ є҆́сть произволе́нїе дꙋ́ха: | And my heart knew much—wisdom, and knowledge, parables and understanding: I perceived that this also is waywardness of spirit. |

| Реко́хъ а҆́зъ въ се́рдцы мое́мъ: прїидѝ оу҆̀бо, да тѧ̀ и҆скꙋшꙋ̀ въ весе́лїи, и҆ ви́ждь во бла́зѣ: и҆ сѐ, та́кожде сїѐ сꙋ́етство. | I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth, and behold thou good: and, behold, this is also vanity. |
|
2
|
2
|
| Смѣ́хꙋ реко́хъ: погрѣше́нїе, и҆ весе́лїю: что̀ сїѐ твори́ши; | I said to laughter, Madness: and to mirth, Why doest thou this? |
|
3
|
3
|
| И҆ разсмотри́хъ, а҆́ще се́рдце моѐ повлече́тъ а҆́ки вїно̀ пло́ть мою̀: и҆ се́рдце моѐ наста́ви мѧ̀ въ мꙋ́дрости, и҆ є҆́же оу҆держа́ти весе́лїе, до́ндеже оу҆ви́ждꙋ, ко́е бла́го сынѡ́мъ человѣ́чєскимъ, є҆́же творѧ́тъ под̾ со́лнцемъ въ число̀ дні́й живота̀ своегѡ̀. | And I examined whether my heart would excite my flesh as with wine, (though my heart guided me in wisdom,) and I desired to lay hold of mirth, until I should see of what kind is the good to the sons of men, which they should do under the sun all the days of their life. |
|
4
|
4
|
| Возвели́чихъ творе́нїе моѐ: созда́хъ мѝ до́мы, насади́хъ мѝ вїногра́ды, | I enlarged my work; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards. |
|
5
|
5
|
| сотвори́хъ мѝ вертогра́ды и҆ сады̀ и҆ насади́хъ въ ни́хъ древе́съ всѧ́кагѡ плода̀, | I made me gardens and orchards, and planted in them every kind of fruit-tree. |
|
6
|
6
|
| сотвори́хъ мѝ кꙋпѣ̑ли вѡдны́ѧ, є҆́же напаѧ́ти ѿ ни́хъ прозѧбе́нїе древе́съ: | I made me pools of water, to water from them the timber-bearing wood. |
|
7
|
7
|
| притѧжа́хъ рабы̑ и҆ рабы̑ни, и҆ домоча́дцы бы́ша мѝ: и҆ стѧжа́нїе скота̀, и҆ ста́дъ мно́го мѝ бы́сть, па́че всѣ́хъ бы́вшихъ пре́жде менє̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: | I got servants and maidens, and servants were born to me in the house: also I had abundant possession of flocks and herds, beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem. |
|
8
|
8
|
| собра́хъ мѝ зла́то и҆ сребро̀ и҆ и҆мѣ̑нїѧ царе́й и҆ стра́нъ, сотвори́хъ мѝ пою́щихъ и҆ пою́щыѧ, и҆ оу҆слаждє́нїѧ сынѡ́въ человѣ́ческихъ, вїноче́рпцы и҆ вїночє́рпицы. | Moreover I collected for myself both silver and gold also, and the peculiar treasures of kings and provinces: I procured me singing men and singing women, and delights of the sons of men, a butler and female cupbearers. |
|
9
|
9
|
| И҆ возвели́чихсѧ, и҆ приложи́хсѧ мꙋ́дрости па́че всѣ́хъ бы́вшихъ пре́жде менє̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: и҆ мꙋ́дрость моѧ̀ пребы́сть со мно́ю. | So I became great, and advanced beyond all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom was established to me. |
|
10
|
10
|
| И҆ всѐ, є҆гѡ́же проси́ста ѻ҆́чи моѝ, не ѿѧ́хъ ѿ ни́хъ и҆ не возбрани́хъ се́рдцꙋ моемꙋ̀ ѿ всѧ́кагѡ весе́лїѧ моегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ се́рдце моѐ возвесели́сѧ во всѧ́цѣмъ трꙋдѣ̀ мое́мъ. И҆ сїѐ бы́сть ча́сть моѧ̀ ѿ всегѡ̀ трꙋда̀ моегѡ̀. | And whatever mine eyes desired, I withheld not from them, I withheld not my heart from all my mirth: for my heart rejoiced in all my labour; and this was my portion of all my labour. |
|
11
|
11
|
| И҆ призрѣ́хъ а҆́зъ на всѧ̑ творє́нїѧ моѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́стѣ рꙋ́цѣ моѝ, и҆ на трꙋ́дъ, и҆́мже трꙋди́хсѧ твори́ти. И҆ сѐ, всѧ̑ сꙋета̀ и҆ произволе́нїе дꙋ́ха, и҆ нѣ́сть и҆з̾ѻби́лїе под̾ со́лнцемъ. | And I looked on all my works which my hands had wrought, and on my labour which I laboured to perform: and, behold, all was vanity and waywardness of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun. |
|
12
|
12
|
| И҆ призрѣ́хъ а҆́зъ ви́дѣти мꙋ́дрость, ле́сть и҆ безꙋ́мїе: ꙗ҆́кѡ кто̀ человѣ́къ, и҆́же по́йдетъ в̾слѣ́дъ совѣ́та, є҆ли̑ка сотворѝ въ не́мъ; | Then I looked on to see wisdom, and madness, and folly: for who is the man who will follow after counsel, in all things wherein he employs it? |
|
13
|
13
|
| И҆ ви́дѣхъ а҆́зъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆́сть и҆з̾ѻби́лїе мꙋ́дрости па́че безꙋ́мїѧ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆з̾ѻби́лїе свѣ́та па́че тмы̀: | And I saw that wisdom excels folly, as much as light excels darkness. |
|
14
|
14
|
| мꙋ́драгѡ ѻ҆́чи є҆гѡ̀ во главѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, а҆ безꙋ́мный во тмѣ̀ хо́дитъ: и҆ оу҆вѣ́дѣхъ и҆ а҆́зъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ слꙋ́чай є҆ди́нъ слꙋчи́тсѧ всѣ̑мъ и҆̀мъ. | The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness: and I perceived, even I, that one event shall happen to them all. |
|
15
|
15
|
| И҆ рѣ́хъ а҆́зъ въ се́рдцы мое́мъ: ꙗ҆́коже слꙋ́чай безꙋ́мнагѡ, и҆ мнѣ̀ слꙋчи́тсѧ: и҆ вскꙋ́ю оу҆мꙋдри́хсѧ; А҆́зъ тогда̀ и҆зли́шше глаго́лахъ въ се́рдцы мое́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ сїѐ сꙋета̀, поне́же безꙋ́мный ѿ и҆збы́тка глаго́летъ: | And I said in my heart, As the event of the fool is, so shall it be to me, even to me; and to what purpose have I gained wisdom? I said moreover in my heart, This is also vanity, because the fool speaks of his abundance. |
|
16
|
16
|
| ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть па́мѧти мꙋ́драгѡ съ безꙋ́мнымъ во вѣ́къ, занѐ оу҆жѐ во дне́хъ грѧдꙋ́щихъ всѧ̑ забвє́на бы́ша: и҆ ка́кѡ оу҆́мретъ мꙋ́дрый съ безꙋ́мнымъ; | For there is no remembrance of the wise man with the fool for ever; forasmuch as now in the coming days all things are forgotten: and how shall the wise man die with the fool? |
|
17
|
17
|
| И҆ возненави́дѣхъ живо́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ лꙋка́вно мнѣ̀ сотворе́нїе сотворе́нное под̾ со́лнцемъ: поне́же всѧ́чєскаѧ сꙋета̀ и҆ произволе́нїе дꙋ́ха. | So I hated life; because the work that was wrought under the sun was evil before me: for all is vanity and waywardness of spirit. |
|
18
|
18
|
| И҆ возненави́дѣхъ а҆́зъ всѧ́чєскаѧ мі́ра и҆ трꙋ́дъ мо́й, и҆́мже а҆́зъ трꙋжда́юсѧ под̾ со́лнцемъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ставлѧ́ю є҆го̀ человѣ́кꙋ бꙋ́дꙋщемꙋ по мнѣ̀. | And I hated the whole of my labour which I took under the sun; because I must leave it to the man who will come after me. |
|
19
|
19
|
| И҆ кто̀ вѣ́сть, мꙋ́дръ ли бꙋ́детъ и҆лѝ безꙋ́менъ; и҆ ѡ҆блада́ти ли и҆́мать всѣ́мъ трꙋдо́мъ мои́мъ, и҆́мже трꙋди́хсѧ и҆ и҆́мже мꙋ́дрствовахъ под̾ со́лнцемъ; И҆ сїе́ же сꙋета̀. | And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? and whether he will have power over all my labour in which I laboured, and wherein I grew wise under the sun? this is also vanity. |
|
20
|
20
|
| И҆ ѡ҆брати́хсѧ а҆́зъ ѿрещи́сѧ се́рдцꙋ моемꙋ̀ ѡ҆ все́мъ трꙋдѣ̀, и҆́мже трꙋди́хсѧ под̾ со́лнцемъ: | So I went about to dismiss from my heart all my labour wherein I had laboured under the sun. |
|
21
|
21
|
| ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆́сть человѣ́къ, є҆гѡ́же трꙋ́дъ въ мꙋ́дрости и҆ въ ра́зꙋмѣ и҆ въ мꙋ́жествѣ: и҆ человѣ́къ, и҆́же не потрꙋди́сѧ ѡ҆ не́мъ, да́стъ є҆мꙋ̀ ча́сть свою̀. И҆ сїѐ сꙋета̀ и҆ лꙋка́вство ве́лїе. | For there is such a man that his labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in fortitude; yet this man shall give his portion to one who has not laboured therein. This is also vanity and great evil. |
|
22
|
22
|
| Ꙗ҆́кѡ быва́етъ человѣ́кꙋ во все́мъ трꙋдѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ въ произволе́нїи се́рдца є҆гѡ̀, и҆́мже то́й трꙋжда́етсѧ под̾ со́лнцемъ, | For it happens to a man in all his labour, and in the purpose of his heart wherein he labours under the sun. |
|
23
|
23
|
| ꙗ҆́кѡ всѝ дні́е є҆гѡ̀ болѣ́зней и҆ ꙗ҆́рости попече́нїе є҆мꙋ̀, и҆́бо въ нощѝ не спи́тъ се́рдце є҆гѡ̀. И҆ сїе́ же сꙋета̀ є҆́сть. | For all his days are days of sorrows, and vexation of spirit is his; in the night also his heart rests not. This is also vanity. |
|
24
|
24
|
| Нѣ́сть бла́го человѣ́кꙋ, но (ра́звѣ) є҆́же ꙗ҆́стъ и҆ пїе́тъ и҆ є҆́же пока́жетъ дꙋшѝ свое́й бла́го въ трꙋдѣ̀ свое́мъ: и҆ сїѐ ви́дѣхъ а҆́зъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ рꙋкѝ бж҃їѧ є҆́сть: | A man has nothing really good to eat, and to drink, and to shew his soul as good in his trouble. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God. |
|
25
|
25
|
| ꙗ҆́кѡ кто̀ ꙗ҆́стъ и҆ пїе́тъ кромѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀; | For who shall eat, or who shall drink, without him? |
|
26
|
26
|
| Ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ́кꙋ бла́гꙋ пред̾ лице́мъ є҆гѡ̀ дадѐ мꙋ́дрость и҆ ра́зꙋмъ и҆ весе́лїе, согрѣша́ющемꙋ же дадѐ попече́нїе, є҆́же прилага́ти и҆ собира́ти, во є҆́же да́ти благо́мꙋ пред̾ лице́мъ бж҃їимъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ сїѐ сꙋета̀ и҆ произволе́нїе дꙋ́ха. | For God has given to the man who is good in his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but he has given to the sinner trouble, to add and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God; for this is also vanity and waywardness of spirit. |
