¹

Ѿвѣща́въ же є҆лїфа́зъ ѳемані́тинъ, речѐ:

¹

Then Eliphaz the Thæmanite answered and said,

²

є҆да̀ премꙋ́дрый да́стъ ѿвѣ́тъ разꙋ́менъ на вѣ́тръ, и҆ напо́лни болѣ́знїю чре́во,

²

Will a wise man give for answer a mere breath of wisdom? and does he fill up the pain of his belly,

³

ѡ҆блича́ѧ глагѡ́лы, и҆́миже не подоба́етъ, и҆ словесы̀, и҆́хже ни ка́ѧ по́льза;

³

reasoning with improper sayings, and with words wherein is no profit?

⁴

Не и҆ ты́ ли ѿри́нꙋлъ є҆сѝ стра́хъ; сконча́лъ же є҆сѝ глаго́лы таковы̑ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ;

⁴

Hast not thou moreover cast off fear, and accomplished such words before the Lord?

⁵

Пови́ненъ є҆сѝ глаго́лѡмъ оу҆́стъ твои́хъ, нижѐ разсꙋди́лъ є҆сѝ глаго́лы си́льныхъ.

⁵

Thou art guilty by the words of thy mouth, neither hast thou discerned the words of the mighty.

⁶

Да ѡ҆блича́тъ тѧ̀ оу҆ста̀ твоѧ̑, а҆ не а҆́зъ, и҆ оу҆стнѣ̀ твоѝ на тѧ̀ возсвидѣ́телствꙋютъ.

⁶

Let thine own mouth, and not me, reprove thee: and thy lips shall testify against thee.

⁷

Что́ бо; є҆да̀ пе́рвый ѿ человѣ̑къ рожде́нъ є҆сѝ; и҆лѝ пре́жде холмѡ́въ сгꙋсти́лсѧ є҆сѝ;

⁷

What! art thou the first man that was born? or wert thou established before the hills?

⁸

и҆лѝ строе́нїе гдⷭ҇не слы́шалъ є҆сѝ; и҆лѝ въ совѣ́тника тѧ̀ оу҆потребѝ бг҃ъ; и҆ на тѧ̀ (є҆ди́наго) ли прїи́де премꙋ́дрость;

⁸

Or hast thou heard the ordinance of the Lord? or has God used thee as his counsellor? and has wisdom come only to thee?

⁹

что́ бо вѣ́си, є҆гѡ́же не вѣ́мы; и҆лѝ что̀ разꙋмѣ́еши ты̀, є҆гѡ́же и҆ мы̀ (не разꙋмѣ́емъ);

⁹

For what knowest thou, that we know not? or what understandest thou, which we do not also?

¹⁰

И҆ ста́ръ и҆ дре́венъ є҆́сть въ на́съ, ста́ршїй ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ де́ньми.

¹⁰

Truly among us are both the old and very aged man, more advanced in days than thy father.

¹¹

Ма́лѡ, ѡ҆ ни́хже согрѣши́лъ є҆сѝ, оу҆ѧ́звленъ є҆сѝ, вельмѝ вы́ше мѣ́ры возглаго́лалъ є҆сѝ.

¹¹

Thou hast been scourged for but few of thy sins: thou hast spoken haughtily and extravagantly.

¹²

Что̀ де́рзостно бы́сть се́рдце твоѐ; и҆лѝ что̀ вознесо́стѣсѧ ѻ҆́чи твоѝ;

¹²

What has thine heart dared? or what have thine eyes aimed at,

¹³

Ꙗ҆́кѡ ꙗ҆́рость и҆зры́гнꙋлъ є҆сѝ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆зне́слъ же є҆сѝ и҆зо оу҆́стъ такѡва̀ словеса̀;

¹³

that thou hast vented thy rage before the Lord, and delivered such words from thy mouth?

¹⁴

Кто́ бо сы́й человѣ́къ ꙗ҆́кѡ бꙋ́детъ непоро́ченъ; и҆лѝ а҆́ки бꙋ́дꙋщїй пра́ведникъ рожде́нъ ѿ жены̀;

¹⁴

For who, being a mortal, is such that he shall be blameless? or, who that is born of a woman, that he should be just?

¹⁵

А҆́ще во ст҃ы́хъ не вѣ́ритъ, нб҃о же нечи́сто пред̾ ни́мъ,

¹⁵

Forasmuch as he trusts not his saints; and the heaven is not pure before him.

¹⁶

кольмѝ па́че ме́рзкїй и҆ нечи́стый мꙋ́жъ, пїѧ́й непра̑вды, ꙗ҆́коже питїѐ.

¹⁶

Alas then, abominable and unclean is man, drinking unrighteousness as a draught.

¹⁷

Возвѣщꙋ́ же тѝ, послꙋ́шай менѐ: ꙗ҆̀же нн҃ѣ ви́дѣхъ, возвѣщꙋ̀ тѝ,

¹⁷

But I will tell thee, hearken to me; I will tell thee now what I have seen;

¹⁸

ꙗ҆̀же премꙋ́дрїи рекꙋ́тъ, и҆ не оу҆таи́ша ѻ҆тцы̀ и҆́хъ,

¹⁸

things wise men say, and their fathers have not hidden.

¹⁹

и҆̀мже є҆ди̑нымъ дана̀ бы́сть землѧ̀, и҆ не на́йде и҆ноплеме́нникъ на нѧ̀.

¹⁹

To them alone the earth was given, and no stranger came upon them.

²⁰

Всѐ житїѐ нечести́вагѡ въ попече́нїи, лѣ̑та же и҆зочтє́на дана̑ си́льномꙋ,

²⁰

All the life of the ungodly is spent in care, and the years granted to the oppressor are numbered.

²¹

стра́хъ же є҆гѡ̀ во оу҆шесѣ́хъ є҆гѡ̀: є҆гда̀ мни́тъ оу҆жѐ въ ми́рѣ бы́ти, тогда̀ прїи́детъ на́нь низвраще́нїе:

²¹

And his terror is in his ears: just when he seems to be at peace, his overthrow will come.

²²

да не вѣ́рꙋетъ ѿврати́тисѧ ѿ тмы̀, ѡ҆сꙋжде́нъ бо оу҆жѐ въ рꙋ́ки желѣ́за,

²²

Let him not trust that he shall return from darkness, for he has been already made over to the power of the sword.

²³

оу҆чине́нъ же є҆́сть въ бра́шно неѧ́сытємъ: вѣ́сть же въ себѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ жде́тъ паде́нїѧ, де́нь же те́менъ преврати́тъ є҆го̀,

²³

And he has been appointed to be food for vultures; and he knows within himself that he is doomed to be a carcase: and a dark day shall carry him away as with a whirlwind.

²⁴

бѣда́ же и҆ ско́рбь ѡ҆б̾и́метъ є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́коже военача́лникъ напредѝ стоѧ́й па́даетъ,

²⁴

Distress also and anguish shall come upon him: he shall fall as a captain in the first rank.

²⁵

ꙗ҆́кѡ вознесѐ рꙋ́цѣ на гдⷭ҇а, пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ же вседержи́телемъ ѡ҆жесточѝ вы́ю,

²⁵

For he has lifted his hands against the Lord, and he has hardened his neck against the Almighty Lord.

²⁶

тече́ же проти́вꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ оу҆кори́зною въ то́лщи хребта̀ щита̀ своегѡ̀:

²⁶

And he has run against him with insolence, on the thickness of the back of his shield.

²⁷

ꙗ҆́кѡ покры̀ лицѐ своѐ тꙋ́комъ свои́мъ и҆ сотворѝ ѡ҆ме́тъ на сте́гнахъ: (хвала́ же є҆гѡ̀ оу҆кори́зна).

²⁷

For he has covered his face with his fat, and made layers of fat upon his thighs.

²⁸

Да всели́тсѧ же во градѣ́хъ пꙋсты́хъ, вни́детъ же въ до́мы ненаселє́нныѧ: а҆ ꙗ҆̀же ѻ҆нѝ оу҆гото́ваша, и҆ні́и ѿнесꙋ́тъ.

²⁸

And let him lodge in desolate cities, and enter into houses without inhabitant: and what they have prepared, others shall carry away.

²⁹

Нижѐ ѡ҆богати́тсѧ, нижѐ ѡ҆ста́нетъ и҆мѣ́нїе є҆гѡ̀, не и҆́мать положи́ти на зе́млю сѣ́ни,

²⁹

Neither shall he at all grow rich, nor shall his substance remain: he shall not cast a shadow upon the earth.

³⁰

нижѐ и҆збѣжи́тъ тмы̀: прозѧбе́нїе є҆гѡ̀ да оу҆сꙋши́тъ вѣ́тръ, и҆ да ѿпаде́тъ цвѣ́тъ є҆гѡ̀:

³⁰

Neither shall he in any wise escape the darkness: let the wind blast his blossom, and let his flower fall off.

³¹

да не вѣ́ритъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ стерпи́тъ, тщє́тнаѧ бо сбꙋ́дꙋтсѧ є҆мꙋ̀.

³¹

Let him not think that he shall endure; for his end shall be vanity.

³²

Посѣче́нїе є҆гѡ̀ пре́жде часа̀ растлѣ́етъ, и҆ лѣ́торасль є҆гѡ̀ не ѡ҆бли́ственѣетъ:

³²

His harvest shall perish before the time, and his branch shall not flourish.

³³

да ѡ҆б̾има́нъ бꙋ́детъ ꙗ҆́коже недозрѣ́лаѧ ꙗ҆́года пре́жде часа̀, да ѿпаде́тъ же ꙗ҆́кѡ цвѣ́тъ ма́сличїѧ.

³³

And let him be gathered as the unripe grape before the time, and let him fall as the blossom of the olive.

³⁴

Послꙋ́шество бо нечести́вагѡ сме́рть, ѻ҆́гнь же пожже́тъ до́мы мздои́мцєвъ:

³⁴

For death is the witness of an ungodly man, and fire shall burn the houses of them that receive gifts.

³⁵

во чре́вѣ же прїи́метъ бѡлѣ́зни, сбꙋ́детсѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ тщета̀,чре́во же є҆гѡ̀ понесе́тъ ле́сть.

³⁵

And he shall conceive sorrows, and his end shall be vanity, and his belly shall bear deceit.
