При́тчей Соломѡ́нихъ	Proverbs

Глава́ а҃	Chapter 1

1	1
При̑тчи соломѡ́на сы́на даві́дова, и҆́же ца́рствова во і҆и҃ли,	The Proverbs of Solomon son of David, who reigned in Israel;
2	2
позна́ти премꙋ́дрость и҆ наказа́нїе и҆ оу҆разꙋмѣ́ти словеса̀ мꙋ́дрости,	to know wisdom and instruction, and to perceive words of understanding;
3	3
прїѧ́ти же и҆зви̑тїѧ слове́съ и҆ разрѣшє́нїѧ гада́нїй, оу҆разꙋмѣ́ти же пра́вдꙋ и҆́стиннꙋю и҆ сꙋ́дъ и҆справлѧ́ти:	to receive also hard sayings, and to understand true justice, and how to direct judgment;
4	4
да да́стъ неѕлѡ́бивымъ кова́рство, ѻ҆троча́ти же ю҆́нꙋ чꙋ́вство же и҆ смы́слъ.	that he might give subtlety to the simple, and to the young man discernment and understanding.
5	5
Си́хъ бо послꙋ́шавъ, мꙋ́дрый премꙋ́дрѣе бꙋ́детъ, а҆ разꙋ́мный строи́телство стѧ́жетъ:	For by the hearing of these a wise man will be wiser, and the man of understanding will gain direction;
6	6
оу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ же при́тчꙋ и҆ те́мное сло́во, рѣчє́нїѧ же премꙋ́дрыхъ и҆ гада̑нїѧ.	and will understand a parable, and a dark speech; the sayings of the wise also, and riddles.
7	7
Нача́ло премꙋ́дрости стра́хъ гдⷭ҇ень, ра́зꙋмъ же бла́гъ всѣ̑мъ творѧ́щымъ є҆го̀: бл҃гоче́стїе же въ бг҃а нача́ло чꙋ́вства, премꙋ́дрость же и҆ наказа́нїе нечести́вїи оу҆ничижа́тъ.	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	8
Слы́ши, сы́не, наказа́нїе ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆ не ѿри́ни завѣ́тѡвъ ма́тере твоеѧ̀:	Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and reject not the rules of thy mother.
9	9
вѣне́цъ бо благода́тей прїи́меши на твое́мъ версѣ̀ и҆ гри́внꙋ зла́тꙋ ѡ҆ твое́й вы́и.	For thou shalt receive for thine head a crown of graces, and a chain of gold round thy neck.
10	10
Сы́не, да не прельстѧ́тъ тебѐ мꙋ́жїе нечести́вїи, нижѐ да восхо́щеши,	My son, let not ungodly men lead thee astray, neither consent thou to them.
11	11
а҆́ще помо́лѧтъ тѧ̀, глаго́люще: и҆дѝ съ на́ми, приѡбщи́сѧ кро́ве, скры́емъ же въ зе́млю мꙋ́жа првⷣна непра́веднѡ:	If they should exhort thee, saying, Come with us, partake in blood, and let us unjustly hide the just man in the earth:
12	12
пожре́мъ же є҆го̀ ꙗ҆́коже а҆́дъ жи́ва, и҆ во́змемъ па́мѧть є҆гѡ̀ ѿ землѝ,	and let us swallow him alive, as Hades would, and remove the memorial of him from the earth:
13	13
стѧжа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ многоцѣ́нное прїи́мемъ, и҆спо́лнимъ же до́мы на́шѧ коры́стей:	let us seize on his valuable property, and let us fill our houses with spoils:
14	14
жре́бїй же тво́й положѝ съ на́ми: ѻ҆́бще же влага́лище стѧ́жемъ всѝ, и҆ мѣше́цъ є҆ди́нъ да бꙋ́детъ всѣ̑мъ на́мъ.	but do thou cast in thy lot with us, and let us all provide a common purse, and let us have one pouch:
15	15
Не и҆дѝ въ пꙋ́ть съ ни́ми: оу҆клони́ же но́гꙋ твою̀ ѿ сте́зь и҆́хъ:	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	17
Не без̾ пра́вды бо простира́ютсѧ мрє́жи перна̑тымъ:	for nets are not without cause spread for birds.
18	18
ті́и бо оу҆бі́йствꙋ приѡбща́ющесѧ, сокро́вищствꙋютъ себѣ̀ ѕла̑ѧ: разрꙋше́нїе же мꙋже́й законопрестꙋ́пныхъ ѕло̀.	For they that are concerned in murder store up evils for themselves; and the overthrow of transgressors is evil.
19	19
Сі́и пꙋтїѐ сꙋ́ть всѣ́хъ творѧ́щихъ беззакѡ́ннаѧ: нече́стїемъ бо свою̀ дꙋ́шꙋ ѿе́млютъ.	These are the ways of all that perform lawless deeds; for by ungodliness they destroy their own life.
20	20
Премꙋ́дрость во и҆схо́дѣхъ пое́тсѧ, въ сто́гнахъ же дерзнове́нїе во́дитъ,	Wisdom sings aloud in passages, and in the broad places speaks boldly.
21	21
на кра́ехъ же стѣ́нъ проповѣ́дꙋетсѧ, оу҆ вра́тъ же си́льныхъ присѣди́тъ, во вратѣ́хъ же гра́да дерза́ющи глаго́летъ:	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,
22	22
є҆ли́ко оу҆́бѡ вре́мѧ неѕло́бивїи держа́тсѧ пра́вды, не постыдѧ́тсѧ: безꙋ́мнїи же доса́ды сꙋ́ще жела́телїе, нечести́вїи бы́вше, возненави́дѣша чꙋ́вство	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.
23	23
и҆ пови́нни бы́ша ѡ҆бличе́нїємъ. Сѐ, предложꙋ̀ ва́мъ моегѡ̀ дыха́нїѧ рѣче́нїе, наꙋчꙋ́ же ва́съ моемꙋ̀ словесѝ.	Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech.
24	24
Поне́же зва́хъ, и҆ не послꙋ́шасте, и҆ простира́хъ словеса̀, и҆ не внима́сте,	Since I called, and ye did not hearken; and I spoke at length, and ye gave no heed;
25	25
но ѿмета́сте моѧ̑ совѣ́ты и҆ мои̑мъ ѡ҆бличе́нїємъ не внима́сте:	but ye set at nought my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs;
26	26
оу҆̀бо и҆ а҆́зъ ва́шей поги́бели посмѣю́сѧ, пора́дꙋюсѧ же, є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ ва́мъ па́гꙋба,	therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you:
27	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.	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.
28	28
Бꙋ́детъ бо є҆гда̀ призове́те мѧ̀, а҆́зъ же не послꙋ́шаю ва́съ: взы́щꙋтъ менѐ ѕлі́и и҆ не ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтъ.	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.
29	29
Возненави́дѣша бо премꙋ́дрость, словесе́ же гдⷭ҇нѧ не прїѧ́ша:	For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the word of the Lord:
30	30
нижѐ хотѣ́ша внима́ти мои̑мъ совѣ́тѡмъ, рꙋга́хꙋсѧ же мои̑мъ ѡ҆бличе́нїємъ.	neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs.
31	31
Тѣ́мже снѣдѧ́тъ свои́хъ пꙋті́й плоды̀ и҆ своегѡ̀ нече́стїѧ насы́тѧтсѧ:	Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness.
32	32
и҆́бо, занѐ ѡ҆би́дѣша младе́нцєвъ, оу҆бїе́ни бꙋ́дꙋтъ, и҆ и҆стѧза́нїе нечести̑выѧ погꙋби́тъ.	For because they wronged the simple, they shall be slain; and an inquisition shall ruin the ungodly.
33	33
Мене́ же слꙋ́шаѧй всели́тсѧ на оу҆пова́нїи и҆ почі́етъ без̾ стра́ха ѿ всѧ́кагѡ ѕла̀.	But he that hearkens to me shall dwell in confidence, and shall rest securely from all evil.
Глава́ в҃	Chapter 2

1	1
Сы́не, а҆́ще прїи́мъ глаго́лъ моеѧ̀ за́повѣди, скры́еши въ себѣ̀,	My son, if thou wilt receive the utterance of my commandment, and hide it with thee;
2	2
послꙋ́шаетъ премꙋ́дрости твоѐ оу҆́хо, и҆ приложи́ши се́рдце твоѐ къ ра́зꙋмꙋ: приложи́ши же є҆̀ въ наказа́нїе сы́нꙋ твоемꙋ̀.	thine ear shall hearken to wisdom; thou shalt also apply thine heart to understanding, and shalt apply it to the instruction of thy son.
3	3
А҆́ще бо премꙋ́дрость призове́ши и҆ ра́зꙋмꙋ да́си гла́съ тво́й, чꙋ́вство же взы́щеши вели́кимъ гла́сомъ,	For if thou shalt call to wisdom, and utter thy voice for understanding;
4	4
и҆ а҆́ще взы́щеши є҆ѧ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ сребра̀, и҆ ꙗ҆́коже сокрѡ́вища и҆спыта́еши ю҆̀:	and if thou shalt seek it as silver, and search diligently for it as for treasures;
5	5
тогда̀ оу҆разꙋмѣ́еши стра́хъ гдⷭ҇ень и҆ позна́нїе бж҃їе ѡ҆брѧ́щеши:	then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
6	6
ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь дае́тъ премꙋ́дрость, и҆ ѿ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀ позна́нїе и҆ ра́зꙋмъ:	For the Lord gives wisdom; and from his presence come knowledge and understanding,
7	7
и҆ сокро́вищствꙋетъ и҆справлѧ́ющымъ спⷭ҇нїе, защища́етъ же ше́ствїе и҆́хъ,	and he treasures up salvation for them that walk uprightly: he will protect their way;
8	8
є҆́же сохрани́ти пꙋти̑ ѡ҆правда́нїй, и҆ пꙋ́ть благоговѣ́инствꙋющихъ є҆го̀ сохрани́тъ.	that he may guard the righteous ways: and he will preserve the way of them that fear him.
9	9
Тогда̀ оу҆разꙋмѣ́еши пра́вдꙋ и҆ сꙋ́дъ и҆ и҆спра́виши всѧ̑ стєзѝ бл҃гі̑ѧ.	Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment; and shalt direct all thy course aright.
10	10
А҆́ще бо прїи́детъ премꙋ́дрость въ твою̀ мы́сль, чꙋ́вство же твое́й дꙋшѝ добро̀ бы́ти возмни́тсѧ,	For if wisdom shall come into thine understanding, and discernment shall seem pleasing to thy soul,
11	11
совѣ́тъ до́бръ сохрани́тъ тѧ̀, помышле́нїе же преподо́бное соблюде́тъ тѧ̀,	good counsel shall guard thee, and holy understanding shall keep thee;
12	12
да и҆зба́витъ тѧ̀ ѿ пꙋтѝ ѕла́гѡ и҆ ѿ мꙋ́жа, глаго́люща ничто́же вѣ́рно.	to deliver thee from the evil way, and from the man that speaks nothing faithfully.
13	13
Ѽ, ѡ҆ста́вившїи пꙋти̑ пра̑выѧ, є҆́же ходи́ти въ пꙋте́хъ тмы̀!	Alas for those who forsake right paths, to walk in ways of darkness;
14	14
ѽ, веселѧ́щїисѧ ѡ҆ ѕлы́хъ и҆ ра́дꙋющїисѧ ѡ҆ развраще́нїи ѕлѣ́мъ!	who rejoice in evils, and delight in wicked perverseness;
15	15
и҆́хже стєзѝ стро́пѡтны, и҆ кри̑ва течє́нїѧ и҆́хъ, є҆́же дале́че тѧ̀ сотвори́ти ѿ пꙋтѝ пра́ва,	whose paths are crooked, and their courses winding;
16	16
и҆ чꙋ́жда ѿ пра́веднагѡ ра́зꙋма. Сы́не, да тѧ̀ не пости́гнетъ совѣ́тъ ѕлы́й,	to remove thee far from the straight way, and to estrange thee from a righteous purpose. My son, let not evil counsel overtake thee,
17	17
ѡ҆ставлѧ́ѧй оу҆че́нїе ю҆́ности, и҆ завѣ́та бжⷭ҇твеннагѡ забы́вый:	of her who has forsaken the instruction of her youth, and forgotten the covenant of God.
18	18
поста́ви бо при сме́рти до́мъ сво́й и҆ при а҆́дѣ съ земны́ми дѣѧ̑нїѧ своѧ̑.	For she has fixed her house near death, and guided her wheels near Hades with the giants.
19	19
Всѝ ходѧ́щїи по немꙋ̀ не возвратѧ́тсѧ, нижѐ пости́гнꙋтъ сте́зь пра́выхъ: ни бо̀ дости́гнꙋтъ лѣ́тъ жи́зни.	None that go by her shall return, neither shall they take hold of right paths, for they are not apprehended of the years of life.
20	20
А҆́ще бо бы́ша ходи́ли въ стєзѝ бл҃гі̑ѧ, ѡ҆брѣлѝ оу҆́бѡ бы́ша стєзѝ пра̑вы гла̑дки: бла́зи бꙋ́дꙋтъ жи́телїе на землѝ, неѕло́бивїи же ѡ҆ста́нꙋтъ на не́й:	For had they gone in good paths, they would have found the paths of righteousness easy.
21	21
ꙗ҆́кѡ пра́вїи вселѧ́тсѧ на землѝ, и҆ прпⷣбнїи ѡ҆ста́нꙋтъ на не́й.	For the upright shall dwell in the earth, and the holy shall be left behind in it.
22	22
Пꙋтїѐ нечести́выхъ ѿ землѝ поги́бнꙋтъ, пребеззако́ннїи же и҆зри́нꙋтсѧ ѿ неѧ̀.	The paths of the ungodly shall perish out of the earth, and transgressors shall be driven away from it.
Глава́ г҃	Chapter 3

1	1
Сы́не, мои́хъ зако́нѡвъ не забыва́й, глаго́лы же моѧ̑ да соблюда́етъ твоѐ се́рдце:	My son, forget not my laws; but let thine heart keep my words:
2	2
долготꙋ́ бо житїѧ̀ и҆ лѣ̑та жи́зни и҆ ми́ръ приложа́тъ тебѣ̀.	for length of existence, and years of life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3	3
Ми́лѡстыни и҆ вѣ́ра да не ѡ҆скꙋдѣва́ютъ тебѣ̀: ѡ҆бложи́ же ѧ҆̀ на твое́й вы́и и҆ напишѝ ѧ҆̀ на скрижа́ли се́рдца твоегѡ̀: и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щеши бл҃года́ть.	Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; but bind them about thy neck:
4	4
И҆ промышлѧ́й дѡ́браѧ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ (бг҃омъ) и҆ человѣ́ки.	so shalt thou find favour: and do thou provide things honest in the sight of the Lord, and of men.
5	5
Бꙋ́ди оу҆пова́ѧ всѣ́мъ се́рдцемъ на бг҃а, ѡ҆ твое́й же премꙋ́дрости не возноси́сѧ:	Trust in God with all thine heart; and be not exalted in thine own wisdom.
6	6
во всѣ́хъ пꙋте́хъ твои́хъ познава́й ю҆̀, да и҆справлѧ́етъ пꙋти̑ твоѧ̑.	In all thy ways acquaint thyself with her, that she may rightly direct thy paths.
7	7
Не бꙋ́ди мꙋ́дръ ѡ҆ себѣ̀: бо́йсѧ же бг҃а и҆ оу҆клонѧ́йсѧ ѿ всѧ́кагѡ ѕла̀:	Be not wise in thine own conceit; but fear God, and depart from all evil.
8	8
тогда̀ и҆сцѣле́нїе бꙋ́детъ тѣ́лꙋ твоемꙋ̀ и҆ оу҆врачева́нїе косте́мъ твои̑мъ.	Then shall there be health to thy body, and good keeping to thy bones.
9	9
Чтѝ гдⷭ҇а ѿ пра́ведныхъ твои́хъ трꙋдѡ́въ и҆ нача́тки дава́й є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ твои́хъ плодѡ́въ пра́вды:	Honour the Lord with thy just labours, and give him the first of thy fruits of righteousness:
10	10
да и҆спо́лнѧтсѧ жи̑тницы твоѧ̑ мно́жествомъ пшени́цы, вїно́ же точи̑ла твоѧ̑ да и҆сточа́ютъ.	that thy storehouses may be completely filled with corn, and that thy presses may burst forth with wine.
11	11
Сы́не, не пренебрега́й наказа́нїѧ гдⷭ҇нѧ, нижѐ ѡ҆слабѣва́й ѿ негѡ̀ ѡ҆блича́емь:	My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
12	12
є҆го́же бо лю́битъ гдⷭ҇ь, наказꙋ́етъ, бїе́тъ же всѧ́каго сы́на, є҆го́же прїе́млетъ.	for whom the Lord loves, he rebukes, and scourges every son whom he receives.
13	13
Бл҃же́нъ человѣ́къ, и҆́же ѡ҆брѣ́те премꙋ́дрость, и҆ сме́ртенъ, и҆́же оу҆вѣ́дѣ ра́зꙋмъ.	Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, and the mortal who knows prudence.
14	14
Лꙋ́чше бо сїю̀ кꙋпова́ти, не́жели зла́та и҆ сребра̀ сокрѡ́вища:	For it is better to traffic for her, than for treasures of gold and silver.
15	15
честнѣ́йша же є҆́сть ка́менїй многоцѣ́нныхъ: не сопротивлѧ́етсѧ є҆́й ничто́же лꙋка́во, бл҃гозна́тна є҆́сть всѣ̑мъ приближа́ющымсѧ є҆́й: всѧ́ко же честно́е недосто́йно є҆ѧ̀ є҆́сть.	And she is more valuable than precious stones: no evil thing shall resist her: she is well known to all that approach her, and no precious thing is equal to her in value.
16	16
Долгота́ бо житїѧ̀ и҆ лѣ̑та жи́зни въ десни́цѣ є҆ѧ̀, въ шꙋ́йцѣ же є҆ѧ̀ бога́тство и҆ сла́ва: ѿ оу҆́стъ є҆ѧ̀ и҆схо́дитъ пра́вда, зако́нъ же и҆ ми́лость на ѧ҆зы́цѣ но́ситъ.	For length of existence and years of life are in her right hand; and in her left hand are wealth and glory:
17	17
Пꙋтїѐ є҆ѧ̀ пꙋтїѐ добрѝ, и҆ всѧ̑ стєзѝ є҆ѧ̀ ми̑рны.	Her ways are good ways, and all her paths are peaceful.
18	18
Дре́во живота̀ є҆́сть всѣ̑мъ держа́щымсѧ є҆ѧ̀, и҆ воскланѧ́ющымсѧ на ню̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ на гдⷭ҇а, тверда̀.	She is a tree of life to all that lay hold upon her; and she is a secure help to all that stay themselves on her, as on the Lord.
19	19
Бг҃ъ премⷣростїю ѡ҆снова̀ зе́млю, оу҆гото́ва же небеса̀ ра́зꙋмомъ:	God by wisdom founded the earth, and by prudence he prepared the heavens.
20	20
въ чꙋ́вствѣ є҆гѡ̀ бє́здны разверзо́шасѧ, ѡ҆́блацы же и҆сточи́ша ро́сꙋ.	By understanding were the depths broken up, and the clouds dropped water.
21	21
Сы́не, да не премине́ши, соблюди́ же мо́й совѣ́тъ и҆ мы́сль:	My son, let them not pass from thee, but keep my counsel and understanding:
22	22
да жива̀ бꙋ́детъ дꙋша̀ твоѧ̀, и҆ блгⷣть бꙋ́детъ на твое́й вы́и: (*бꙋ́детъ же и҆сцѣле́нїе пло́темъ твои̑мъ и҆ оу҆врачева́нїе косте́мъ твои̑мъ:)	that thy soul may live, and that there may be grace round thy neck;
23	23
да хо́диши надѣ́ѧсѧ въ ми́рѣ во всѣ́хъ пꙋте́хъ твои́хъ, нога́ же твоѧ̀ не по́ткнетсѧ.	that thou mayest go confidently in peace in all thy ways, and that thy foot may not stumble.
24	24
А҆́ще бо сѧ́деши, безбоѧ́зненъ бꙋ́деши, а҆́ще же поспи́ши, сла́достнѡ поспи́ши.	For if thou rest, thou shalt be undismayed; and if thou sleep, thou shalt slumber sweetly.
25	25
И҆ не оу҆бои́шисѧ стра́ха наше́дшагѡ, нижѐ оу҆стремле́нїѧ нечести́выхъ находѧ́щагѡ:	And thou shalt not be afraid of alarm coming upon thee, neither of approaching attacks of ungodly men.
26	26
гдⷭ҇ь бо бꙋ́детъ на всѣ́хъ пꙋте́хъ твои́хъ и҆ оу҆тверди́тъ но́гꙋ твою̀, да не поползне́шисѧ.	For the Lord shall be over all thy ways, and shall establish thy foot that thou be not moved.
27	27
Не ѿрецы́сѧ благотвори́ти тре́бꙋющемꙋ, є҆гда̀ и҆́мать рꙋка̀ твоѧ̀ помога́ти.	Forbear not to do good to the poor, whensoever thy hand may have power to help him.
28	28
Не рцы̀: ѿше́дъ возврати́сѧ, и҆ заꙋ́тра да́мъ, си́льнꙋ тѝ сꙋ́щꙋ благотвори́ти: не вѣ́си бо, что̀ породи́тъ де́нь находѧ́й.	Say not, Come back another time, to-morrow I will give; while thou art able to do him good: for thou knowest not what the next day will bring forth.
29	29
Не соплета́й на дрꙋ́га твоего̀ ѕла̀, прише́лца сꙋ́ща и҆ оу҆пова́юща на тѧ̀.	Devise not evil against thy friend, living near thee and trusting in thee.
30	30
Не враждꙋ́й на человѣ́ка тꙋ́не, да не что̀ на тѧ̀ содѣ́етъ ѕло́е.	Be not ready to quarrel with a man without a cause, lest he do thee some harm.
31	31
Не стѧжѝ ѕлы́хъ мꙋже́й поноше́нїѧ, ни возревнꙋ́й пꙋтє́мъ и҆́хъ.	Procure not the reproaches of bad men, neither do thou covet their ways.
32	32
Нечи́стъ бо пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ всѧ́къ законопрестꙋ́пникъ и҆ съ првⷣными не сочетава́етсѧ.	For every transgressor is unclean before the Lord; neither does he sit among the righteous.
33	33
Клѧ́тва гдⷭ҇нѧ въ домѣ́хъ нечести́выхъ, дворы́ же првⷣныхъ блгⷭ҇влѧ́ютсѧ.	The curse of God is in the houses of the ungodly; but the habitations of the just are blessed.
34	34
Гдⷭ҇ь гѡ́рдымъ проти́витсѧ, смирє́ннымъ же дае́тъ блгⷣть.	The Lord resists the proud; but he gives grace to the humble.
35	35
Сла́вꙋ премꙋ́дрїи наслѣ́дѧтъ, нечести́вїи же вознесо́ша безче́стїе.	The wise shall inherit glory; but the ungodly have exalted their own dishonour.
Глава́ д҃	Chapter 4

1	1
Послꙋ́шайте, дѣ́ти, наказа́нїѧ ѻ҆́тча и҆ внемли́те разꙋмѣ́ти помышле́нїе,	Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2	2
да́ръ бо бл҃гі́й да́рꙋю ва́мъ: моегѡ̀ зако́на не ѡ҆ставлѧ́йте.	For I give you a good gift; forsake ye not my law.
3	3
Сы́нъ бо бы́хъ и҆ а҆́зъ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ послꙋшли́вый, и҆ люби́мый пред̾ лице́мъ ма́тере,	For I also was a son obedient to my father, and loved in the sight of my mother:
4	4

5	5
стѧжѝ премꙋ́дрость, стѧжѝ ра́зꙋмъ: не забꙋ́ди, нижѐ пре́зри рѣчє́нїѧ мои́хъ оу҆́стъ, нижѐ оу҆клони́сѧ ѿ глагѡ́лъ оу҆́стъ мои́хъ.	and do not neglect the speech of my mouth.
6	6
Не ѡ҆ста́ви є҆ѧ̀, и҆ и҆́метсѧ тебє̀: возжелѣ́й є҆ѧ̀, и҆ соблюде́тъ тѧ̀.	And forsake it not, and it shall cleave to thee: love it, and it shall keep thee.
7
Нача́ло премꙋ́дрости: стѧжа́ти премꙋ́дрость, и҆ во все́мъ стѧжа́нїи твое́мъ стѧжѝ ра́зꙋмъ.
8	8
Ѡ҆градѝ ю҆̀, и҆ вознесе́тъ тѧ̀: почтѝ ю҆̀, да тѧ̀ ѡ҆б̾и́метъ,	Secure it, and it shall exalt thee: honour it, that it may embrace thee;
9	9
да да́стъ главѣ̀ твое́й вѣне́цъ благода́тей, вѣнце́мъ же сла́дости защи́титъ тѧ̀.	that it may give unto thy head a crown of graces, and may cover thee with a crown of delight.
10	10
Слы́ши, сы́не, и҆ прїимѝ моѧ̑ словеса̀, и҆ оу҆мно́жатсѧ лѣ̑та живота̀ твоегѡ̀, да тѝ бꙋ́дꙋтъ мно́зи пꙋтїѐ житїѧ̀.	Hear, my son, and receive my words; and the years of thy life shall be increased, that the resources of thy life may be many.
11	11
Пꙋтє́мъ бо премꙋ́дрости оу҆чꙋ́ тѧ, наставлѧ́ю же тебѐ на течє́нїѧ пра̑ваѧ:	For I teach thee the ways of wisdom; and I cause thee to go in right paths.
12	12
а҆́ще бо хо́диши, не за́пнꙋтсѧ стѡпы̀ твоѧ̑: а҆́ще ли тече́ши, не оу҆трꙋди́шисѧ.	For when thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not be distressed.
13	13
И҆ми́сѧ моегѡ̀ наказа́нїѧ, не ѡ҆ста́ви, но сохранѝ є҆̀ себѣ̀ въ жи́знь твою̀.	Take hold of my instruction; let it not go,—but keep it for thyself for thy life.
14	14
На пꙋти̑ нечести́выхъ не и҆дѝ, нижѐ возревнꙋ́й пꙋтє́мъ законопрестꙋ́пныхъ.	Go not in the ways of the ungodly, neither covet the ways of transgressors.
15	15
На не́мже а҆́ще мѣ́стѣ вѡ́ѧ соберꙋ́тъ, не и҆дѝ та́мѡ: оу҆клони́сѧ же ѿ ни́хъ и҆ и҆змѣнѝ:	In whatever place they shall pitch their camp, go not thither; but turn from them, and pass away.
16	16
не оу҆́снꙋтъ бо, а҆́ще ѕла̀ не сотворѧ́тъ: ѿи́метсѧ со́нъ ѿ ни́хъ, и҆ не спѧ́тъ:	For they cannot sleep, unless they have done evil: their sleep is taken away, and they rest not.
17	17
ті́и бо пита́ютсѧ пи́щею нече́стїѧ, вїно́мъ же законопрестꙋ́пнымъ оу҆пива́ютсѧ.	For these live upon the bread of ungodliness, and are drunken with wine of transgression.
18	18
Пꙋті́е же првⷣныхъ подо́бнѣ свѣ́тꙋ свѣ́тѧтсѧ: предхо́дѧтъ и҆ просвѣща́ютъ, до́ндеже и҆спра́витсѧ де́нь.	But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go on and shine, until the day be fully come.
19	19
Пꙋтїе́ же нечести́выхъ те́мни: не вѣ́дѧтъ, ка́кѡ претыка́ютсѧ.	But the ways of the ungodly are dark; they know not how they stumble.
20	20
Сы́не, мои̑мъ глаго́лѡмъ внима́й, къ мои̑мъ же словесє́мъ прилага́й оу҆́хо твоѐ:	My son, attend to my speech; and apply thine ear to my words:
21	21
да не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ютъ тѝ и҆сто́чницы твоѝ, хранѝ ѧ҆̀ въ се́рдцы твое́мъ:	that thy fountains may not fail thee; keep them in thine heart.
22	22
живо́тъ бо сꙋ́ть всѣ̑мъ ѡ҆брѣта́ющымъ ѧ҆̀ и҆ все́й пло́ти и҆́хъ и҆сцѣле́нїе.	For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23	23
Всѧ́цѣмъ хране́нїемъ блюдѝ твоѐ се́рдце: ѿ си́хъ бо и҆схѡ́дища живота̀.	Keep thine heart with the utmost care; for out of these are the issues of life.
24	24
Ѿимѝ ѿ себє̀ стропти̑ва оу҆ста̀, и҆ ѡ҆би̑дливы оу҆стнѣ̀ дале́че ѿ тебє̀ ѿри́ни.	Remove from thee a froward mouth, and put far away from thee unjust lips.
25	25
Ѻ҆́чи твоѝ пра́вѡ да зрѧ́тъ, и҆ вѣ̑жди твоѝ да помава́ютъ пра́вєднаѧ.	Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids assent to just things.
26	26
Пра̑ва течє́нїѧ творѝ твои́ма нога́ма и҆ пꙋти̑ твоѧ̑ и҆справлѧ́й.	Make straight paths for thy feet, and order thy ways aright.
27	27
Не оу҆клони́сѧ ни на де́сно, ни на шꙋ́е: ѿврати́ же но́гꙋ твою̀ ѿ пꙋтѝ ѕла̀:	Turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left, but turn away thy foot from an evil way:
28

послѣди́ же горча́е же́лчи ѡ҆брѧ́щеши, и҆ и҆з̾ѡщре́ннꙋ па́че меча̀ ѻ҆бою́дꙋ ѻ҆́стра:	but afterwards thou wilt find her more bitter than gall, and sharper than a two-edged sword.
5	5

6	6
на пꙋти̑ бо живѡ́тныѧ не нахо́дитъ, заблꙋждє́нна же течє́нїѧ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ неблагоразꙋ̑мна.	For she goes not upon the paths of life; but her ways are slippery, and not easily known.
7	7
Нн҃ѣ оу҆̀бо, сы́не, послꙋ́шай менѐ и҆ не ѿриновє́нна сотворѝ моѧ̑ словеса̀:	Now then, my son, hear me, and make not my words of none effect.

не послꙋ́шахъ гла́са наказꙋ́ющагѡ мѧ̀, и҆ ко оу҆ча́щемꙋ мѧ̀ не прилага́хъ оу҆́ха моегѡ̀:	I heard not the voice of him that instructed me, and taught me, neither did I apply mine ear.
14	14
вма́лѣ бѣ́хъ во всѧ́цѣмъ ѕлѣ̀ посредѣ̀ цр҃кве и҆ со́нмища.	I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

16	16
да преизлива́ютсѧ тебѣ̀ во́ды ѿ твоегѡ̀ и҆сто́чника, во твоѧ̑ же пꙋти̑ да происхо́дѧтъ твоѧ̑ во́ды.	Let not waters out of thy fountain be spilt by thee, but let thy waters go into thy streets.
17	17
Да бꙋ́дꙋтъ тебѣ̀ є҆ди́номꙋ и҆мѣ̑нїѧ, и҆ да никто́же чꙋ́ждь причасти́тсѧ тебѣ̀.	Let them be only thine own, and let no stranger partake with thee.

Let thy loving hart and thy graceful colt company with thee, and let her be considered thine own, and be with thee at all times; for ravished with her love thou shalt be greatly increased.
20	20
Не мно́гъ бꙋ́ди къ чꙋжде́й, нижѐ ѡ҆б̾ѧ́тъ бꙋ́ди ѡ҆б̾ѧ̑тїи не твоеѧ̀:	Be not intimate with a strange woman, neither fold thyself in the arms of a woman not thine own.

2	2
Сѣ́ть бо крѣпка̀ мꙋ́жꙋ своѝ оу҆стнѣ̀, и҆ плѣнѧ́етсѧ оу҆стна́ми свои́хъ оу҆́стъ.	For a man's own lips become a strong snare to him, and he is caught with the lips of his own mouth.

Занѐ свѣти́лникъ за́повѣдь зако́на и҆ свѣ́тъ, и҆ пꙋ́ть жи́зни, и҆ ѡ҆бличе́нїе, и҆ наказа́нїе,	For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction:

27	27
Ввѧ́жетъ ли кто̀ ѻ҆́гнь въ нѣ̑дра, ри́зъ же (свои́хъ) не сожже́тъ ли;	Shall any one bind fire in his bosom, and not burn his garments?

32	32
Прелюбодѣ́й же за скꙋ́дость оу҆ма̀ поги́бель дꙋшѝ свое́й содѣва́етъ,	But the adulterer through want of sense procures destruction to his soul.
33	33
болѣ̑зни же и҆ безче́стїе понесе́тъ: поноше́нїе же є҆гѡ̀ не загла́дитсѧ во вѣ́къ:	He endures both pain and disgrace, and his reproach shall never be wiped off.
34	34

16	16
Лꙋ́чше части́ца ма́лаѧ со стра́хомъ гдⷭ҇нимъ, не́жели сокрѡ́вища вє́лїѧ без̾ боѧ́зни.	Better is a small portion with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without the fear of the Lord.

28	28
Сердца̀ првⷣныхъ поꙋча́ютсѧ вѣ́рѣ, оу҆ста́ же нечести́выхъ ѿвѣща́ютъ ѕла̑ѧ: прїѧ́тни пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ пꙋтїѐ мꙋже́й првⷣныхъ, и҆́миже и҆ вразѝ дрꙋ́зїе быва́ютъ.	The hearts of the righteous meditate faithfulness; but the mouth of the ungodly answers evil things.

Премꙋ̑дрыѧ и҆ разꙋ̑мныѧ ѕлы́ми нари́чꙋтъ, сла́дцїи же въ словесѝ мно́жае оу҆слы́шани бꙋ́дꙋтъ.	Men call the wise and understanding evil: but they that are pleasing in speech shall hear more.
22	22
И҆сто́чникъ живо́тенъ ра́зꙋмъ стѧжа́вшымъ, наказа́нїе же безꙋ́мныхъ ѕло̀.	Understanding is a fountain of life to its possessors; but the instruction of fools is evil.
23	23
Се́рдце премꙋ́драгѡ оу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ ꙗ҆̀же ѿ свои́хъ є҆мꙋ̀ оу҆́стъ, во оу҆стна́хъ же но́ситъ ра́зꙋмъ.	The heart of the wise will discern the things which proceed from his own mouth; and on his lips he will wear knowledge.
24	24
Со́тове медо́внїи словеса̀ дѡ́браѧ, сла́дость же и҆́хъ и҆сцѣле́нїе дꙋшѝ.	Good words are honeycombs, and the sweetness thereof is a healing of the soul.
25	25
Сꙋ́ть пꙋтїѐ мнѧ́щїисѧ пра́ви бы́ти мꙋ́жꙋ, ѻ҆ба́че послѣ̑днѧѧ и҆́хъ зрѧ́тъ во дно̀ а҆́дово.	There are ways that seem to be right to a man, but the end of them looks to the depth of hell.
26	26
Мꙋ́жъ въ трꙋдѣ́хъ трꙋжда́етсѧ себѣ̀ и҆ и҆знꙋжда́етъ поги́бель свою̀: стропти́вый во свои́хъ оу҆ста́хъ но́ситъ поги́бель.	A man who labours, labours for himself, and drives from him his own ruin.
27	27
Мꙋ́жъ безꙋ́менъ копа́етъ себѣ̀ ѕла̑ѧ и҆ во оу҆стна́хъ свои́хъ сокро́вищствꙋетъ ѻ҆́гнь.	But the perverse bears destruction upon his own mouth: a foolish man digs up evil for himself, and treasures fire on his own lips.
28	28
Мꙋ́жъ стропти́вый разсыла́етъ ѕла̑ѧ, и҆ свѣти́лникъ льстѝ вжига́етъ ѕлы̑мъ, и҆ разлꙋча́етъ дрꙋ́ги.	A perverse man spreads mischief, and will kindle a torch of deceit with mischiefs; and he separates friends.
29	29
Мꙋ́жъ законопрестꙋ́пенъ прельща́етъ дрꙋ́ги и҆ ѿво́дитъ и҆̀хъ въ пꙋти̑ не бла̑ги.	A transgressor tries to ensnare friends, and leads them in ways that are not good.
30	30
Оу҆твержда́ѧй ѻ҆́чи своѝ мы́слитъ развращє́ннаѧ, грызы́й же оу҆стнѣ̀ своѝ ѡ҆предѣлѧ́етъ всѧ̑ ѕла̑ѧ: се́й пе́щь є҆́сть ѕло́бы.	And the man that fixes his eyes devises perverse things, and marks out with his lips all evils: he is a furnace of wickedness.
31	31
Вѣне́цъ хвалы̀ ста́рость, на пꙋте́хъ же пра́вды ѡ҆брѣта́етсѧ.	Old age is a crown of honour, but it is found in the ways of righteousness.
32	32
Лꙋ́чше мꙋ́жъ долготерпѣли́въ па́че крѣ́пкагѡ, (*и҆ мꙋ́жъ ра́зꙋмъ и҆мѣ́ѧй па́че земледѣ́лца вели́кагѡ:) оу҆держава́ѧй же гнѣ́въ па́че взе́млющагѡ гра́дъ.	A man slow to anger is better than a strong man; and he that governs his temper better than he that takes a city.
33	33
Въ нѣ̑дра вхо́дѧтъ всѧ̑ непра́вєднымъ: ѿ гдⷭ҇а же всѧ̑ првⷣнаѧ.	All evils come upon the ungodly into their bosoms; but all righteous things come of the Lord.
Глава́ з҃і	Chapter 17

1	1
Лꙋ́чше оу҆крꙋ́хъ хлѣ́ба со сла́стїю въ ми́рѣ, не́жели до́мъ и҆спо́лненъ мно́гихъ благи́хъ и҆ непра́ведныхъ же́ртвъ со бра́нїю.	Better is a morsel with pleasure in peace, than a house full of many good things and unjust sacrifices, with strife.
2	2
Ра́бъ смы́сленъ ѡ҆блада́етъ влады̑ки безꙋ́мными, въ бра́тїихъ же раздѣли́тъ (и҆мѣ́нїе) на ча̑сти.	A wise servant shall have rule over foolish masters, and shall divide portions among brethren.
3	3
Ꙗ҆́коже и҆скꙋша́етсѧ въ пещѝ сребро̀ и҆ зла́то, та́кѡ и҆збра̑ннаѧ сердца̀ оу҆ гдⷭ҇а.	As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord.
4	4
Ѕлы́й послꙋ́шаетъ ѧ҆зы́ка законопрестꙋ́пныхъ, првⷣный же не внима́етъ оу҆стна́мъ лжи̑вымъ.	A bad man hearkens to the tongue of transgressors: but a righteous man attends not to false lips.
5	5
Рꙋга́йсѧ оу҆бо́гомꙋ раздража́етъ сотво́ршаго є҆го̀, ра́дꙋѧйсѧ же ѡ҆ погиба́ющемъ не ѡ҆безвини́тсѧ: ми́лꙋѧй же поми́лованъ бꙋ́детъ.	He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; and he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: but he that has compassion shall find mercy.
6	6
Вѣне́цъ ста́рыхъ ча̑да ча̑дъ: похвала́ же ча́домъ ѻ҆тцы̀ и҆́хъ. Вѣ́рномꙋ ве́сь мі́ръ бога́тство, невѣ́рномꙋ же нижѐ пѣ́нѧзь.	Children's children are the crown of old men; and their fathers are the glory of children.
7	7

9	9
И҆́же таи́тъ ѡ҆би̑ды, и҆́щетъ любвѐ: а҆ и҆́же ненави́дитъ скрыва́ти, разлꙋча́етъ дрꙋ́ги и҆ дома̑шнїѧ.	He that conceals injuries seeks love; but he that hates to hide them separates friends and kindred.

11	11
Прекослѡ́вїѧ воздви́жетъ всѧ́къ ѕлы́й: гдⷭ҇ь же а҆́гг҃ла неми́лостива по́слетъ на́нь.	Every bad man stirs up strifes: but the Lord will send out against him an unmerciful messenger.
12	12
Впаде́тъ попече́нїе мꙋ́жꙋ смы́сленнꙋ: безꙋ́мнїи же размышлѧ́ютъ ѕла̑ѧ.	Care may befall a man of understanding; but fools will meditate evils.
13	13
И҆́же воздае́тъ ѕла̑ѧ за бл҃га̑ѧ, не подви́гнꙋтсѧ ѕла̑ѧ и҆з̾ до́мꙋ є҆гѡ̀.	Whoso rewards evil for good, evil shall not be removed from his house.

Вла́сть дае́тъ словесє́мъ нача́ло пра́вды: предводи́телствꙋетъ же скꙋ́дости прѧ̀ и҆ бра́нь.	Rightful rule gives power to words; but sedition and strife precede poverty.
15	15

16	16
Вскꙋ́ю бѧ́ше и҆мѣ́нїе безꙋ́мномꙋ; стѧжа́ти бо премꙋ́дрости безсе́рдый не мо́жетъ. И҆́же высо́къ твори́тъ сво́й до́мъ, и҆́щетъ сокрꙋше́нїѧ: ѡ҆строптѣва́ѧй же оу҆чи́тисѧ впаде́тъ во ѕла̑ѧ.	Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom.
17	17
На всѧ́ко вре́мѧ дрꙋ́гъ да бꙋ́детъ тебѣ̀, бра́тїѧ же въ нꙋ́ждахъ поле́зни да бꙋ́дꙋтъ: сегѡ́ бо ра́ди ражда́ютсѧ.	Have thou a friend for every time, and let brethren be useful in distress; for on this account are they born.
18	18

Грѣхолю́бецъ ра́дꙋетсѧ сва́рѡмъ, а҆ жестокосе́рдый не оу҆срѧ́щетъ благи́хъ.	A lover of sin rejoices in strifes;

21	21
Не весели́тсѧ ѻ҆те́цъ ѡ҆ сы́нѣ ненака́заннѣмъ: сы́нъ же мꙋ́дръ весели́тъ ма́терь свою̀.	and the heart of a fool is grief to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; but a wise son gladdens his mother.
22	22
Се́рдце веселѧ́щесѧ бл҃гоимѣ́тисѧ твори́тъ: мꙋ́жꙋ же печа́льнꙋ засы́шꙋтъ кѡ́сти.	A glad heart promotes health; but the bones of a sorrowful man dry up.
23	23
Прїе́млющемꙋ да́ры непра́веднѡ въ нѣ̑дра не пред̾ꙋспѣва́ютъ пꙋтїѐ: нечести́вый же оу҆кланѧ́етъ пꙋти̑ пра́вды.	The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in his bosom do not prosper; and an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness.

25	25
Гнѣ́въ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ сы́нъ безꙋ́менъ, и҆ болѣ́знь ро́ждшей є҆го̀.	A foolish son is a cause of anger to his father, and grief to her that bore him.
26	26
Тщєты̀ твори́ти мꙋ́жꙋ првⷣнꙋ не добро̀, нижѐ преподо́бно навѣ́товати власте́мъ пра́вєднымъ.	It is not right to punish a righteous man, nor is it holy to plot against righteous princes.
27	27
И҆́же щади́тъ глаго́лъ произнестѝ же́стокъ, разꙋ́менъ: долготерпѣли́вый же мꙋ́жъ премꙋ́дръ, лꙋ́чше и҆́щꙋщагѡ наꙋ́ки.	He that forbears to utter a hard word is discreet, and a patient man is wise.
28	28
Несмы́сленномꙋ вопроси́вшꙋ ѡ҆ мꙋ́дрости, мꙋ́дрость вмѣни́тсѧ: нѣ́ма же кто̀ себѐ твори́тъ, возмни́тсѧ разꙋ́менъ бы́ти.	Wisdom shall be imputed to a fool who asks after wisdom: and he who holds his peace shall seem to be sensible.
Глава́ и҃і	Chapter 18

3	3
Є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ нечести́вый во глꙋбинꙋ̀ ѕѡ́лъ, неради́тъ: нахо́дитъ же є҆мꙋ̀ безче́стїе и҆ поноше́нїе.	When an ungodly man comes into a depth of evils, he despises them; but dishonour and reproach come upon him.
4	4

8	8
Лѣни̑выѧ низлага́етъ стра́хъ: дꙋ́ши же мꙋже́й жена́мъ подо́бныхъ вза́лчꙋтъ.	Fear casts down the slothful; and the souls of the effeminate shall hunger.
9	9
Не и҆сцѣлѧ́ѧй себѐ во свои́хъ дѣ́лѣхъ бра́тъ є҆́сть погꙋблѧ́ющемꙋ себѐ сама́го.	A man who helps not himself by his labour is brother of him that ruins himself.

15	15
Се́рдце разꙋ́мнагѡ стѧ́жетъ чꙋ́вствїе, оу҆шеса́ же мꙋ́дрыхъ и҆́щꙋтъ смы́сла.	The heart of the sensible man purchases discretion; and the ears of the wise seek understanding.
16	16
Даѧ́нїе человѣ́ка распространѧ́етъ є҆го̀ и҆ съ си́льными посажда́етъ є҆го̀.	A man's gift enlarges him, and seats him among princes.

18	18
Наказꙋ́й сы́на твоего̀, та́кѡ бо бꙋ́детъ благонаде́женъ: въ досажде́нїе же не взе́млисѧ дꙋше́ю твое́ю.	Chasten thy son, for so he shall be hopeful; and be not exalted in thy soul to haughtiness.

25	25
Гꙋби́телю ра̑ны прїе́млющꙋ, безꙋ́мный кова́рнѣе бꙋ́детъ: а҆́ще же ѡ҆блича́еши мꙋ́жа разꙋ́мна, оу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ чꙋ́вство.	When a pestilent character is scourged, a simple man is made wiser: and if thou reprove a wise man, he will understand discretion.
26	26
Безче́ствꙋѧй ѻ҆тца̀ и҆ ѿрѣва́ѧй ма́терь свою̀ срамотꙋ̀ прїи́метъ и҆ поноше́нїе.	He that dishonours his father, and drives away his mother, shall be disgraced and shall be exposed to reproach.

1	1
Неви́нно вїно̀, оу҆кори́зненно же пїѧ́нство, и҆ всѧ́къ пребыва́ѧй въ не́мъ не бꙋ́детъ премꙋ́дръ.	Wine is an intemperate thing, and strong drink full of violence: but every fool is entangled with them.
2	2
Не ра́знствꙋетъ преще́нїе царе́во ѿ ꙗ҆́рости льво́вы: раздража́ѧй же є҆го̀ и҆ примѣша́ѧйсѧ є҆мꙋ̀ согрѣша́етъ въ свою̀ дꙋ́шꙋ.	The threat of a king differs not from the rage of a lion; and he that provokes him sins against his own soul.

6	6

7	7
И҆́же без̾ поро́ка живе́тъ въ пра́вдѣ, блажє́ны ѡ҆ста́витъ дѣ́ти своѧ̑.	He that walks blameless in justice, shall leave his children blessed.

12	12
Оу҆́ хо слы́шитъ, и҆ ѻ҆́ко ви́дитъ: гдⷭ҇нѧ дѣла̀ ѻ҆боѧ̀.	The ear hears, and the eye sees: even both of them are the Lord's work.
13	13
Не любѝ клевета́ти, да не вознесе́шисѧ: ѿве́рзи ѻ҆́чи твоѝ и҆ насыща́йсѧ хлѣ́ба.	Love not to speak ill, lest thou be cut off: open thine eyes, and be filled with bread.
14
Ѕло̀, ѕло̀, рече́тъ стѧжава́ѧй, и҆ ѿше́дъ тогда̀ похва́литсѧ.

29	29
Лѣ́пота (є҆́сть) ю҆́нымъ премꙋ́дрость: сла́ва же ста̑рымъ сѣди̑ны.	Wisdom is an ornament to young men; and grey hairs are the glory of old men.

3	3

4	4
Не распростира́йсѧ оу҆бо́гъ сы́й съ бога́тымъ, твое́ю же мы́слїю оу҆далѧ́йсѧ.	If thou art poor, measure not thyself with a rich man; but refrain thyself in thy wisdom.
5	5
А҆́ще оу҆стреми́ши на него̀ ѻ҆́ко твоѐ, никогда́же ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ: содѣ̑ланы бо сꙋ́ть є҆мꙋ̀ кри́ла ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆рлꙋ̀, и҆ ѡ҆браща́етсѧ въ до́мъ настоѧ́телѧ своегѡ̀.	If thou shouldest fix thine eye upon him, he will disappear; for wings like an eagle's are prepared for him, and he returns to the house of his master.
6	6
Не вечерѧ́й съ мꙋ́жемъ зави́стливымъ, нижѐ похо́щеши пи́щей є҆гѡ̀:	Sup not with an envious man, neither desire thou his meats:

30	30
Не пребыва́ющымъ ли въ вїнѣ̀; и҆ не назира́ющымъ ли, гдѣ̀ пи́рове быва́ютъ;	Are not those of them that stay long at wine? are not those of them that haunt the places where banquets are? Be not drunk with wine; but converse with just men, and converse with them openly.
31	31
Не оу҆пива́йтесѧ вїно́мъ, но бесѣ́дꙋйте ко человѣ́кѡмъ првⷣнымъ, и҆ бесѣ́дꙋйте во прохо́дѣхъ: а҆́ще бо на ча́шы и҆ стклѧ̑ницы вда́си ѻ҆́чи твоѝ, послѣдѝ и҆́маши ходи́ти нажа́йшїй бѣли́лнагѡ дре́ва:	For if thou shouldest set thine eyes on bowls and cups, thou shalt afterwards go more naked than a pestle.

33	33
Ѻ҆́чи твоѝ є҆гда̀ оу҆́зрѧтъ (женꙋ̀) чꙋждꙋ́ю, оу҆ста̀ твоѧ̑ тогда̀ возглаго́лютъ стро́пѡтнаѧ:	Whenever thine eyes shall behold a strange woman, then thy mouth shall speak perverse things.

35	35
Рече́ши же: би́ша мѧ̀, и҆ не поболѣ́хъ, и҆ порꙋга́шасѧ мѝ, а҆́зъ же не разꙋмѣ́хъ: когда̀ оу҆́тро бꙋ́детъ, да ше́дъ взыщꙋ̀, съ ни́миже сни́дꙋсѧ;	And thou shalt say, They smote me, and I was not pained; and they mocked me, and I knew it not: when will it be morning, that I may go and seek those with whom I may go in company?

2	2
лжа́мъ бо поꙋча́етсѧ се́рдце и҆́хъ, и҆ болѣ̑зни оу҆стнѣ̀ и҆́хъ глаго́лютъ.	For their heart meditates falsehoods, and their lips speak mischiefs.
3	3

6	6
Со оу҆правле́нїемъ быва́етъ бра́нь, по́мощь же съ се́рдцемъ совѣ́тнымъ.	War is carried on with generalship, and aid is supplied to the heart of a counsellor.
7	7
Премꙋ́дрость и҆ мы́сль бла́га во вратѣ́хъ премꙋ́дрыхъ: смы́сленнїи не оу҆кланѧ́ютсѧ ѿ зако́на гдⷭ҇нѧ,	Wisdom and good understanding are in the gates of the wise: the wise turn not aside from the mouth of the Lord,
8	8

But if thou shouldest say, I know not this man; know that the Lord knows the hearts of all; and he that formed breath for all, he knows all things, who renders to every man according to his works.
13	13
Ꙗ҆́ждь ме́дъ, сы́не, бла́гъ бо є҆́сть со́тъ, да наслади́тсѧ горта́нь тво́й:	My son, eat honey, for the honeycomb is good, that thy throat may be sweetened.

Не ра́дꙋйсѧ ѡ҆ ѕлодѣ́ющихъ и҆ не ревнꙋ́й грѣ̑шнымъ,	Rejoice not in evil-doers, neither be envious of sinners.

34	34
а҆́ще же сїѐ твори́ши, прїи́детъ пред̾идꙋ́щи нищета̀ твоѧ̀ и҆ скꙋ́дость твоѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ бла́гъ тече́цъ.	But if thou do this, thy poverty will come speedily; and thy want like a swift courier.

18	18
Дреко́ль и҆ ме́чь и҆ стрѣла̀ ѻ҆стра̀, та́кѡ и҆ мꙋ́жъ свидѣ́телствꙋѧй на дрꙋ́га своего̀ свидѣ́телство ло́жное.	As a club, and a dagger, and a pointed arrow, so also is a man who bears false witness against his friend.

21	21
Ꙗ҆́коже мо́лїе въ ри́зѣ и҆ че́рвїе въ дре́вѣ, та́кѡ печа́ль мꙋ́жꙋ вреди́тъ се́рдце.	If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink;
22	22
А҆́ще а҆́лчетъ вра́гъ тво́й, оу҆хлѣ́би є҆го̀: а҆́ще ли жа́ждетъ, напо́й є҆го̀:	for so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee with good.
23	23

Вѣ́тръ сѣ́верный воздвиза́етъ ѡ҆́блаки, лице́ же безстꙋ́дно ѧ҆зы́къ раздража́етъ.	It is better to dwell on a corner of the roof, than with a railing woman in an open house.
25	25
Лꙋ́чше жи́ти во оу҆́глѣ непокры́тѣмъ, не́же во хра́минѣ ѻ҆́бщей со жено́ю клеветли́вою.	As cold water is agreeable to a thirsting soul, so is a good message from a land far off.
26	26

28	28
Ꙗ҆́сти ме́дъ мно́гѡ не добро̀: почита́ти же подоба́етъ словеса̀ сла̑вна.	As a city whose walls are broken down, and which is unfortified, so is a man who does anything without counsel.
29
Ꙗ҆́коже гра́дъ стѣна́ми разоре́нъ и҆ не ѡ҆гражде́нъ, та́кѡ мꙋ́жъ творѧ́й что̀ без̾ совѣ́та.

10	10
Мно́гими волнꙋ́етсѧ всѧ́ка пло́ть безꙋ́мныхъ, сокрꙋша́етсѧ бо и҆зстꙋпле́нїе и҆́хъ.	All the flesh of fools endures much hardship; for their fury is brought to nought.
11	11
Ꙗ҆́коже пе́съ, є҆гда̀ возврати́тсѧ на своѧ̑ блевѡ́тины, и҆ ме́рзокъ быва́етъ, та́кѡ безꙋ́мный свое́ю ѕло́бою возвра́щьсѧ на сво́й грѣ́хъ. Є҆́сть сты́дъ наводѧ́й грѣ́хъ, и҆ є҆́сть сты́дъ сла́ва и҆ благода́ть.	As when a dog goes to his own vomit, and becomes abominable, so is a fool who returns in his wickedness to his own sin.
12	12

24	24
Оу҆стна́ма всѧ̑ ѡ҆бѣщава́етъ пла́чай вра́гъ, въ се́рдцы же содѣва́етъ ле́сть.	A weeping enemy promises all things with his lips, but in his heart he contrives deceit.
25	25
А҆́ще тѧ̀ мо́литъ вра́гъ ве́лїимъ гла́сомъ, не вѣ́рꙋй є҆мꙋ̀, се́дмь бо є҆́сть лꙋка́вствїй въ дꙋшѝ є҆гѡ̀.	Though thine enemy intreat thee with a loud voice, consent not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26	26
Таѧ́й враждꙋ̀ составлѧ́етъ ле́сть: ѿкрыва́етъ же своѧ̑ грѣхѝ благоразꙋ́мный на со́нмищихъ.	He that hides enmity frames deceit: but being easily discerned, exposes his own sins in the public assemblies.

7	7

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; and when thou art in distress go not into thy brother's house: better is a friend that is near than a brother living far off.
11	11

И҆́же не срамлѧ́етсѧ лица̀ првⷣныхъ, не бла́гъ: таковы́й за оу҆крꙋ́хъ хлѣ́ба прода́стъ мꙋ́жа.	He that reverences not the persons of the just is not good: such a one will sell a man for a morsel of bread.
22	22
Тщи́тсѧ ѡ҆богати́тисѧ мꙋ́жъ зави́дливъ, и҆ не вѣ́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ ми́лостивый воз̾ѡблада́етъ и҆́мъ.	An envious man makes haste to be rich, and knows not that the merciful man will have the mastery over him.
23	23
Ѡ҆блича́ѧй человѣ́чы пꙋти̑ благода́ть и҆́мать па́че ѧ҆зы́комъ ласка́ющагѡ.	He that reproves a man's ways shall have more favour than he that flatters with the tongue.
24	24
И҆́же ѿверга́етъ ѻ҆тца̀ и҆лѝ ма́терь и҆ мни́тсѧ не согрѣша́ти, се́й соприча́стникъ є҆́сть мꙋ́жꙋ нечести́вꙋ.	He that casts off father or mother, and thinks he sins not; the same is partaker with an ungodly man.
25	25
Невѣ́рный мꙋ́жъ сꙋ́дитъ тꙋ́не, а҆ и҆́же надѣ́етсѧ на гдⷭ҇а, въ прилѣжа́нїи бꙋ́детъ.	An unbelieving man judges rashly: but he that trusts in the Lord will act carefully.
26	26
И҆́же надѣ́етсѧ на де́рзо се́рдце, таковы́й безꙋ́менъ: а҆ и҆́же хо́дитъ въ премꙋ́дрости, спасе́тсѧ.	He that trusts to a bold heart, such an one is a fool: but he that walks in wisdom shall be safe.
27	27
И҆́же дае́тъ оу҆бѡ́гимъ, не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́етъ: а҆ и҆́же ѿвраща́етъ ѻ҆́ко своѐ, въ скꙋ́дости бꙋ́детъ мно́зѣ.	He that gives to the poor shall not be in want: but he that turns away his eye from him shall be in great distress.
28	28
На мѣ́стѣхъ нечести́выхъ стенѧ́тъ првⷣнїи, въ поги́бели же и҆́хъ оу҆мно́жатсѧ првⷣнїи.	In the places of ungodly men the righteous mourn: but in their destruction the righteous shall be multiplied.
Глава́ к҃ѳ	Chapter 29

1	1
Лꙋ́чше мꙋ́жъ ѡ҆блича́ѧй, не́жели мꙋ́жъ жестоковы́йный: внеза́пꙋ бо пали́мꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, нѣ́сть и҆сцѣле́нїѧ.	A reprover is better than a stiff-necked man: for when the latter is suddenly set on fire, there shall be no remedy.
2	2
Похвалѧ́ємымъ првⷣнымъ, возвеселѧ́тсѧ лю́дїе: нача́лствꙋющымъ же нечєсти́вымъ, стенѧ́тъ мꙋ́жїе.	When the righteous are praised, the people will rejoice: but when the ungodly rule, men mourn.
3	3
Мꙋ́жꙋ лю́бѧщꙋ премꙋ́дрость, весели́тсѧ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀: а҆ и҆́же пасе́тъ любодѣ̑йцы, погꙋби́тъ бога́тство.	When a man loves wisdom, his father rejoices: but he that keeps harlots will waste wealth.
4	4
Ца́рь пра́веденъ возвыша́етъ зе́млю, мꙋ́жъ же законопрестꙋ́пникъ раскопова́етъ.	A righteous king establishes a country: but a transgressor destroys it.
5	5
И҆́же оу҆готовлѧ́етъ на лицѐ своемꙋ̀ дрꙋ́гꙋ мре́жꙋ, ѡ҆блага́етъ ю҆̀ на своѧ̑ но́ги.	He that prepares a net in the way of his own friend, entangles his own feet in it.
6	6
Согрѣша́ющемꙋ мꙋ́жꙋ ве́лїѧ сѣ́ть: првⷣный же въ ра́дости и҆ въ весе́лїи бꙋ́детъ.	A great snare is spread for a sinner: but the righteous shall be in joy and gladness.
7	7
Оу҆мѣ́етъ првⷣный сꙋ́дъ твори́ти оу҆бѡ́гимъ, а҆ нечести́вый не разꙋмѣ́етъ ра́зꙋма, и҆ оу҆бо́гомꙋ нѣ́сть оу҆ма̀ разꙋмѣва́ющагѡ.	A righteous man knows how to judge for the poor: but the ungodly understands not knowledge; and the poor man has not an understanding mind.
8	8
Мꙋ́жїе беззако́ннїи сожго́ша гра́дъ, мꙋ́дрїи же ѿврати́ша гнѣ́въ.	Lawless men burn down a city: but wise men turn away wrath.
9	9
Мꙋ́жъ мꙋ́дръ сꙋ́дитъ ꙗ҆зы́ки, мꙋ́жъ же ѕлы́й гнѣ́ваѧйсѧ посмѣва́емь быва́етъ, а҆ не оу҆страша́етъ.	A wise man shall judge nations: but a worthless man being angry laughs and fears not.
10	10
Мꙋ́жїе крове́й прича́стни возненави́дѧтъ прпⷣбнаго, пра́вїи же взы́щꙋтъ дꙋ́шꙋ є҆гѡ̀.	Bloody men hate a holy person, but the upright will seek his soul.
11	11
Ве́сь гнѣ́въ сво́й произно́ситъ безꙋ́мный: премꙋ́дрый же скрыва́етъ по ча́сти.	A fool utters all his mind: but the wise reserves his in part.
12	12
Царю̀ послꙋ́шающꙋ словесѐ непра́ведна, всѝ, и҆̀же под̾ ни́мъ, законопрестꙋ̑пницы.	When a king hearkens to unjust language, all his subjects are transgressors.
13	13
Заимода́вцꙋ и҆ должникꙋ̀, дрꙋ́гъ со дрꙋ́гомъ соше́дшымсѧ, посѣще́нїе твори́тъ ѻ҆бѣ́ма гдⷭ҇ь.	When the creditor and debtor meet together, the Lord oversees them both.
14	14
Царю̀ во и҆́стинѣ сꙋдѧ́щемꙋ ни́щымъ, престо́лъ є҆гѡ̀ во свидѣ́телство оу҆стро́итсѧ.	When a king judges the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for a testimony.
15	15
Ꙗ҆́звы и҆ ѡ҆бличє́нїѧ даю́тъ мꙋ́дрость: ѻ҆́трокъ же заблꙋжда́ѧй срамлѧ́етъ роди́тєли своѧ̑.	Stripes and reproofs give wisdom: but an erring child disgraces his parents.
16	16
Мнѡ́гимъ сꙋ́щымъ нечєсти́вымъ мно́зи грѣсѝ быва́ютъ, првⷣнїи же, ѡ҆́нымъ па́дающымъ, оу҆страша́еми быва́ютъ.	When the ungodly abound, sins abound: but when they fall, the righteous are warned.
17	17
Наказꙋ́й сы́на твоего̀, и҆ оу҆поко́итъ тѧ̀ и҆ да́стъ лѣ́потꙋ дꙋшѝ твое́й.	Chasten thy son, and he shall give thee rest; and he shall give honour to thy soul.
18	18
Не бꙋ́детъ сказа́тель ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ законопрестꙋ́пнꙋ, хранѧ́й же зако́нъ блаже́нъ.	There shall be no interpreter to a sinful nation: but he that observes the law is blessed.
19	19
Не нака́жетсѧ словесы̀ ра́бъ же́стокъ: а҆́ще бо и҆ оу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ, но не послꙋ́шаетъ.	A stubborn servant will not be reproved by words: for even if he understand, still he will not obey.
20	20
А҆́ще оу҆ви́диши мꙋ́жа ско́ра въ словесѣ́хъ, разꙋмѣ́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆пова́нїе и҆́мать па́че є҆гѡ̀ безꙋ́мный.	If thou see a man hasty in his words, know that the fool has hope rather than he.
21	21
И҆́же ласкосе́рдъ бꙋ́детъ ѿ дѣ́тства, порабо́титсѧ, на послѣ́докъ же болѣ́зновати бꙋ́детъ ѡ҆ се́мъ.	He that lives wantonly from a child, shall be a servant, and in the end shall grieve over himself.
22	22
Мꙋ́жъ гнѣвли́вый воздвиза́етъ сва́ръ, мꙋ́жъ же ꙗ҆́рый ѿкрыва́етъ грѣхѝ.	A furious man stirs up strife, and a passionate man digs up sin.
23	23
Досажде́нїе мꙋ́жа смирѧ́етъ, а҆ смирє́нныѧ оу҆твержда́етъ гдⷭ҇ь въ сла́вѣ.	Pride brings a man low, but the Lord upholds the humble-minded with honour.
24	24
И҆́же соѡбща́етсѧ та́тю, ненави́дитъ своеѧ̀ дꙋшѝ: а҆́ще же клѧ́твꙋ предложе́ннꙋю слы́шавшїи не возвѣстѧ́тъ,	He that shares with a thief, hates his own soul: and if any having heard an oath uttered tell not of it,
25	25
оу҆боѧ́вшесѧ и҆ постыдѣ́вшесѧ человѣ́кѡвъ, преткнꙋ́тсѧ: надѣ́ѧвыйсѧ же на гдⷭ҇а возвесели́тсѧ. Нече́стїе мꙋ́жꙋ дае́тъ соблажне́нїе: оу҆пова́ѧй же на влⷣкꙋ спасе́тсѧ.	they fearing and reverencing men unreasonably have been overthrown, but he that trusts in the Lord shall rejoice. Ungodliness causes a man to stumble: but he that trusts in his master shall be safe.
26	26

27	27

Глава́ л҃	Chapter 31

1
Сїѧ̑ глаго́летъ мꙋ́жъ вѣ́рꙋющымъ бг҃ови, и҆ почива́ю:
2
безꙋ́мнѣе бо є҆́смь ѿ всѣ́хъ человѣ̑къ, и҆ ра́зꙋма человѣ́ческагѡ нѣ́сть во мнѣ̀:
3
бг҃ъ же наꙋчи́ мѧ премꙋ́дрости, и҆ ра́зꙋмъ ст҃ы́хъ оу҆разꙋмѣ́хъ.
4
Кто̀ взы́де на не́бо и҆ сни́де; кто̀ собра̀ вѣ́тры въ нѣ̑дра; кто̀ возвратѝ во́дꙋ въ ри́зꙋ; кто̀ ѡ҆бдержа̀ всѧ̑ концы̑ землѝ; ко́е и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀; и҆лѝ ко́е и҆́мѧ сы́нꙋ є҆гѡ̀, да разꙋмѣ́еши;
5
Всѧ̑ бо словеса̀ бж҃їѧ раздежє́на: защища́етъ же са́мъ благоговѣ́ющихъ є҆мꙋ̀.
6
Не приложѝ ко словесє́мъ є҆гѡ̀, да не ѡ҆бличи́тъ тѧ̀, и҆ ло́жь бꙋ́деши.
7
Дво́е прошꙋ̀ оу҆ тебє̀: не ѿимѝ ѿ менє̀ благода́ти пре́жде оу҆ме́ртвїѧ моегѡ̀:
8
сꙋ́етно сло́во и҆ ло́жно дале́че ѿ менє̀ сотворѝ, бога́тства же и҆ нищеты̀ не да́ждь мѝ: оу҆стро́й же мѝ потрє́бнаѧ и҆ самодовѡ́лнаѧ,
9
да не насы́щьсѧ ло́жь бꙋ́дꙋ и҆ рекꙋ̀: кто́ мѧ ви́дитъ; и҆лѝ ѡ҆бнища́въ оу҆кра́дꙋ и҆ кленꙋ́сѧ и҆́менемъ бж҃їимъ.
10	10
Не преда́ждь раба̀ въ рꙋ́цѣ господи́на, да не когда̀ проклене́тъ тѧ̀, и҆ и҆сче́знеши.	Who shall find a virtuous woman? for such a one is more valuable than precious stones.
11	11
Ча́до ѕло̀ клене́тъ ѻ҆тца̀ и҆ ма́терь не благослови́тъ.	The heart of her husband trusts in her: such a one shall stand in no need of fine spoils.
12	12
Ча́до ѕло̀ пра́ведна себѐ сꙋ́дитъ, и҆схо́да же своегѡ̀ не и҆змы̀.	For she employs all her living for her husband's good.
13	13
Ча́до ѕло̀ высѡ́ки ѻ҆́чи и҆́мать, вѣ́ждома же свои́ма возно́ситсѧ.	Gathering wool and flax, she makes it serviceable with her hands.
14	14
Ча́до ѕло̀ ме́чь зꙋ́бы (своѧ̑) и҆́мать, и҆ членѡ́вныѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ сѣ́чиво, є҆́же гꙋби́ти и҆ поѧда́ти смирє́нныѧ ѿ землѝ и҆ оу҆бѡ́гїѧ и҆́хъ ѿ человѣ̑къ.	She is like a ship trading from a distance: so she procures her livelihood.
15	15
Пїѧ́вица и҆мѣ̀ трѝ дщє́ри, любо́вїю возлю́блєны, и҆ трѝ сїѧ̑ не насы́тишасѧ є҆ѧ̀, и҆ четве́ртаѧ не оу҆довли́сѧ рещѝ: дово́лно (мѝ є҆́сть).	And she rises by night, and gives food to her household, and appointed tasks to her maidens.
16	16
А҆́дъ и҆ по́хоть жены̀, и҆ землѧ̀ ненапое́наѧ водо́ю и҆ вода̀ и҆ ѻ҆́гнь не рекꙋ́тъ: довлѣ́етъ.	She views a farm, and buys it: and with the fruit of her hands she plants a possession.
17	17
Ѻ҆́ко рꙋга́ющеесѧ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ и҆ досажда́ющее ста́рости ма́терни, да и҆сто́ргнꙋтъ є҆̀ вра́нове ѿ де́брїѧ и҆ да снѣдѧ́тъ є҆̀ птенцы̀ ѡ҆́рли.	She strongly girds her loins, and strengthens her arms for work.
18	18
Трїе́ ми сꙋ́ть невозмѡ́жнаѧ оу҆разꙋмѣ́ти, и҆ четве́ртагѡ не вѣ́мъ:	And she finds by experience that working is good; and her candle goes not out all night.
19	19
слѣда̀ ѻ҆рла̀ парѧ́ща (по воздꙋ́хꙋ) и҆ пꙋтѝ ѕмі́а (ползꙋ́ща) по ка́мени, и҆ стезѝ кораблѧ̀ пловꙋ́ща по мо́рю и҆ пꙋті́й мꙋ́жа въ ю҆́ности (є҆гѡ̀).	She reaches forth her arms to needful works, and applies her hands to the spindle.
20	20
Тако́въ пꙋ́ть жены̀ блꙋдни́цы: ꙗ҆́же є҆гда̀ сотвори́тъ, и҆ и҆змы́вшисѧ, ничто́же, речѐ, содѣ́ѧхъ нелѣ́по.	And she opens her hands to the needy, and reaches out fruit to the poor.
21	21
Тре́ми трѧсе́тсѧ землѧ̀, четве́ртагѡ же не мо́жетъ понестѝ:	Her husband is not anxious about those at home when he tarries anywhere abroad: for all her household are clothed.
22	22
а҆́ще ра́бъ воцари́тсѧ, и҆ безꙋ́мный и҆спо́лнитсѧ пи́щею, и҆ раба̀ а҆́ще и҆зжене́тъ свою̀ госпожꙋ̀,	She makes for her husband clothes of double texture, and garments for herself of fine linen and scarlet.
23	23
и҆ ме́рзкаѧ жена̀ а҆́ще ключи́тсѧ добрꙋ̀ мꙋ́жꙋ.	And her husband becomes a distinguished person in the gates, when he sits in council with the old inhabitants of the land.
24	24
Четы́ри же сꙋ́ть малѣ̑йшаѧ на землѝ, сїѧ̑ же сꙋ́ть мꙋдрѣ̑йша мꙋ́дрыхъ:	She makes fine linens, and sells girdles to the Chananites: she opens her mouth heedfully and with propriety, and controls her tongue.
25	25
мра́вїє, и҆̀мже нѣ́сть крѣ́пости и҆ оу҆готовлѧ́ютъ въ жа́твꙋ пи́щꙋ:	She puts on strength and honour; and rejoices in the last days.
26	26
и҆ хїрогрѵ́лли, ꙗ҆зы́къ не крѣ́покъ, и҆̀же сотвори́ша въ ка́менїихъ до́мы своѧ̑:	The ways of her household are careful, and she eats not the bread of idleness.
27	27
безца́рни сꙋ́ть прꙋ́зїе, и҆ вою́ютъ ѿ є҆ди́нагѡ повелѣ́нїѧ благочи́ннѡ:	But she opens her mouth wisely, and according to law.
28	28
ꙗ҆́щерица (Є҆вр.: паꙋ́къ.), рꙋка́ми ѡ҆пира́ющисѧ и҆ оу҆до́бь оу҆ловлѧ́ема сꙋ́щи, живе́тъ во тве́рдехъ царе́выхъ.	And her kindness to them sets up her children for them, and they grow rich, and her husband praises her.
29	29
Трїѐ сꙋ́ть, ꙗ҆̀же благопоспѣ́шнѡ хо́дѧтъ, четве́ртое же, є҆́же до́брѣ прохо́дитъ:	Many daughters have obtained wealth, many have wrought valiantly; but thou hast exceeded, thou hast surpassed all.
30	30
скѵ́менъ льво́въ крѣпча́е ѕвѣре́й, и҆́же не ѿвраща́етсѧ, ни оу҆страша́етсѧ скота̀,	Charms are false, and woman's beauty is vain: for it is a wise woman that is blessed, and let her praise the fear of the Lord.
31	31
и҆ пѣ́тель ходѧ̀ въ ко́кошѣхъ благодꙋ́шенъ, и҆ козе́лъ предводи́тель ста́дꙋ, и҆ ца́рь глаго́лѧй къ наро́дꙋ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣ.	Give her of the fruit of her lips; and let her husband be praised in the gates.
32
А҆́ще вда́си себѐ въ весе́лїе и҆ простре́ши рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ со сва́ромъ, порꙋ́ганъ бꙋ́деши.
33
Мельзѝ млеко̀, и҆ бꙋ́детъ ма́сло. А҆́ще ли нѡ́здри че́шеши, и҆зы́детъ кро́вь: а҆́ще же и҆звлече́ши словеса̀, и҆зы́дꙋтъ сꙋ́дове и҆ тѧ̑жбы.
Глава́ л҃а

Моѧ̑ словеса̀ реко́шасѧ ѿ бг҃а, царе́во проро́чество, є҆го́же наказа̀ ма́ти є҆гѡ̀:

ѿверза́й оу҆ста̀ твоѧ̑ и҆ сꙋдѝ првⷣнѡ, разсꙋжда́й же оу҆бо́га и҆ не́мощна.
10
Женꙋ̀ до́блю кто̀ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ, дража́йши є҆́сть ка́менїѧ многоцѣ́ннагѡ такова́ѧ:

21
Не пече́тсѧ ѡ҆ сꙋ́щихъ въ домꙋ̀ мꙋ́жъ є҆ѧ̀, є҆гда̀ гдѣ̀ заме́длитъ: вси́ бо оу҆ неѧ̀ ѡ҆дѣ́ѧни сꙋ́ть.
