При̑тчи соломѡ́на сы́на даві́дова, и҆́же ца́рствова во і҆и҃ли,

¹

The Proverbs of Solomon son of David, who reigned in Israel;

²

позна́ти премꙋ́дрость и҆ наказа́нїе и҆ оу҆разꙋмѣ́ти словеса̀ мꙋ́дрости,

²

to know wisdom and instruction, and to perceive words of understanding;

³

прїѧ́ти же и҆зви̑тїѧ слове́съ и҆ разрѣшє́нїѧ гада́нїй, оу҆разꙋмѣ́ти же пра́вдꙋ и҆́стиннꙋю и҆ сꙋ́дъ и҆справлѧ́ти:

³

to receive also hard sayings, and to understand true justice, and how to direct judgment;

⁴

да да́стъ неѕлѡ́бивымъ кова́рство, ѻ҆троча́ти же ю҆́нꙋ чꙋ́вство же и҆ смы́слъ.

⁴

that he might give subtlety to the simple, and to the young man discernment and understanding.

⁵

Си́хъ бо послꙋ́шавъ, мꙋ́дрый премꙋ́дрѣе бꙋ́детъ, а҆ разꙋ́мный строи́телство стѧ́жетъ:

⁵

For by the hearing of these a wise man will be wiser, and the man of understanding will gain direction;

⁶

оу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ же при́тчꙋ и҆ те́мное сло́во, рѣчє́нїѧ же премꙋ́дрыхъ и҆ гада̑нїѧ.

⁶

and will understand a parable, and a dark speech; the sayings of the wise also, and riddles.

⁷

Нача́ло премꙋ́дрости стра́хъ гдⷭ҇ень, ра́зꙋмъ же бла́гъ всѣ̑мъ творѧ́щымъ є҆го̀: бл҃гоче́стїе же въ бг҃а нача́ло чꙋ́вства, премꙋ́дрость же и҆ наказа́нїе нечести́вїи оу҆ничижа́тъ.

⁷

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and there is good understanding to all that practise it: and piety toward God is the beginning of discernment; but the ungodly will set at nought wisdom and instruction.

⁸

Слы́ши, сы́не, наказа́нїе ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆ не ѿри́ни завѣ́тѡвъ ма́тере твоеѧ̀:

⁸

Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and reject not the rules of thy mother.

⁹

вѣне́цъ бо благода́тей прїи́меши на твое́мъ версѣ̀ и҆ гри́внꙋ зла́тꙋ ѡ҆ твое́й вы́и.

⁹

For thou shalt receive for thine head a crown of graces, and a chain of gold round thy neck.

¹⁰

Сы́не, да не прельстѧ́тъ тебѐ мꙋ́жїе нечести́вїи, нижѐ да восхо́щеши,

¹⁰

My son, let not ungodly men lead thee astray, neither consent thou to them.

¹¹

а҆́ще помо́лѧтъ тѧ̀, глаго́люще: и҆дѝ съ на́ми, приѡбщи́сѧ кро́ве, скры́емъ же въ зе́млю мꙋ́жа првⷣна непра́веднѡ:

¹¹

If they should exhort thee, saying, Come with us, partake in blood, and let us unjustly hide the just man in the earth:

¹²

пожре́мъ же є҆го̀ ꙗ҆́коже а҆́дъ жи́ва, и҆ во́змемъ па́мѧть є҆гѡ̀ ѿ землѝ,

¹²

and let us swallow him alive, as Hades would, and remove the memorial of him from the earth:

¹³

стѧжа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ многоцѣ́нное прїи́мемъ, и҆спо́лнимъ же до́мы на́шѧ коры́стей:

¹³

let us seize on his valuable property, and let us fill our houses with spoils:

¹⁴

жре́бїй же тво́й положѝ съ на́ми: ѻ҆́бще же влага́лище стѧ́жемъ всѝ, и҆ мѣше́цъ є҆ди́нъ да бꙋ́детъ всѣ̑мъ на́мъ.

¹⁴

but do thou cast in thy lot with us, and let us all provide a common purse, and let us have one pouch:

¹⁵

Не и҆дѝ въ пꙋ́ть съ ни́ми: оу҆клони́ же но́гꙋ твою̀ ѿ сте́зь и҆́хъ:

¹⁵

go not in the way with them, but turn aside thy foot from their paths:

¹⁶

но́зѣ бо и҆́хъ на ѕло̀ текꙋ́тъ, и҆ ско́ри сꙋ́ть и҆злїѧ́ти кро́вь.

¹⁷

for nets are not without cause spread for birds.

¹⁷

Не без̾ пра́вды бо простира́ютсѧ мрє́жи перна̑тымъ:

¹⁸

For they that are concerned in murder store up evils for themselves; and the overthrow of transgressors is evil.

¹⁸

ті́и бо оу҆бі́йствꙋ приѡбща́ющесѧ, сокро́вищствꙋютъ себѣ̀ ѕла̑ѧ: разрꙋше́нїе же мꙋже́й законопрестꙋ́пныхъ ѕло̀.

¹⁹

These are the ways of all that perform lawless deeds; for by ungodliness they destroy their own life.

¹⁹

Сі́и пꙋтїѐ сꙋ́ть всѣ́хъ творѧ́щихъ беззакѡ́ннаѧ: нече́стїемъ бо свою̀ дꙋ́шꙋ ѿе́млютъ.

²⁰

Wisdom sings aloud in passages, and in the broad places speaks boldly.

²⁰

Премꙋ́дрость во и҆схо́дѣхъ пое́тсѧ, въ сто́гнахъ же дерзнове́нїе во́дитъ,

²¹

And she makes proclamation on the top of the walls, and sits by the gates of princes; and at the gates of the city boldly says,

²¹

на кра́ехъ же стѣ́нъ проповѣ́дꙋетсѧ, оу҆ вра́тъ же си́льныхъ присѣди́тъ, во вратѣ́хъ же гра́да дерза́ющи глаго́летъ:

²²

So long as the simple cleave to justice, they shall not be ashamed: but the foolish being lovers of haughtiness, having become ungodly have hated knowledge, and are become subject to reproofs.

²²

є҆ли́ко оу҆́бѡ вре́мѧ неѕло́бивїи держа́тсѧ пра́вды, не постыдѧ́тсѧ: безꙋ́мнїи же доса́ды сꙋ́ще жела́телїе, нечести́вїи бы́вше, возненави́дѣша чꙋ́вство

²³

Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech.

²³

и҆ пови́нни бы́ша ѡ҆бличе́нїємъ. Сѐ, предложꙋ̀ ва́мъ моегѡ̀ дыха́нїѧ рѣче́нїе, наꙋчꙋ́ же ва́съ моемꙋ̀ словесѝ.

²⁴

Since I called, and ye did not hearken; and I spoke at length, and ye gave no heed;

²⁴

Поне́же зва́хъ, и҆ не послꙋ́шасте, и҆ простира́хъ словеса̀, и҆ не внима́сте,

²⁵

but ye set at nought my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs;

²⁵

но ѿмета́сте моѧ̑ совѣ́ты и҆ мои̑мъ ѡ҆бличе́нїємъ не внима́сте:

²⁶

therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you:

²⁶

оу҆̀бо и҆ а҆́зъ ва́шей поги́бели посмѣю́сѧ, пора́дꙋюсѧ же, є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ ва́мъ па́гꙋба,

²⁷

yea when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.

²⁷

и҆ є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ на вы̀ внеза́пꙋ мѧте́жъ, низвраще́нїе же подо́бно бꙋ́ри прїи́детъ, и҆лѝ є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ ва́мъ печа́ль и҆ градоразоре́нїе, и҆лѝ є҆гда̀ на́йдетъ на вы̀ па́гꙋба.

²⁸

For it shall be that when ye call upon me, I will not hearken to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me.

²⁸

Бꙋ́детъ бо є҆гда̀ призове́те мѧ̀, а҆́зъ же не послꙋ́шаю ва́съ: взы́щꙋтъ менѐ ѕлі́и и҆ не ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтъ.

²⁹

For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the word of the Lord:

²⁹

Возненави́дѣша бо премꙋ́дрость, словесе́ же гдⷭ҇нѧ не прїѧ́ша:

³⁰

neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs.

³⁰

нижѐ хотѣ́ша внима́ти мои̑мъ совѣ́тѡмъ, рꙋга́хꙋсѧ же мои̑мъ ѡ҆бличе́нїємъ.

³¹

Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness.

³¹

Тѣ́мже снѣдѧ́тъ свои́хъ пꙋті́й плоды̀ и҆ своегѡ̀ нече́стїѧ насы́тѧтсѧ:

³²

For because they wronged the simple, they shall be slain; and an inquisition shall ruin the ungodly.

³²

и҆́бо, занѐ ѡ҆би́дѣша младе́нцєвъ, оу҆бїе́ни бꙋ́дꙋтъ, и҆ и҆стѧза́нїе нечести̑выѧ погꙋби́тъ.

³³

But he that hearkens to me shall dwell in confidence, and shall rest securely from all evil.

³³

Мене́ же слꙋ́шаѧй всели́тсѧ на оу҆пова́нїи и҆ почі́етъ без̾ стра́ха ѿ всѧ́кагѡ ѕла̀.
