¹

А҆́ще добро̀ твори́ши, разꙋмѣ́й, комꙋ̀ твори́ши, и҆ бꙋ́детъ благода́ть благи̑мъ твои̑мъ.

¹

When thou wilt do good, know to whom thou doest it; so shalt thou be thanked for thy benefits.

²

Добро̀ сотворѝ благочести́вомꙋ, и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щеши воздаѧ́нїе, и҆ а҆́ще не ѿ негѡ̀, то̀ ѿ вы́шнѧгѡ.

²

Do good to the godly man, and thou shalt find a recompence; and if not from him, yet from the most High.

³

Не бꙋ́детъ добро̀ прилѣжа́щемꙋ во ѕлы́хъ и҆ не подаю́щемꙋ ми́лостыни.

³

There can no good come to him that is always occupied in evil, nor to him that giveth no alms.

⁴

Да́ждь благочести́вомꙋ и҆ не застꙋпа́й грѣ́шника.

⁴

Give to the godly man, and help not a sinner.

⁵

Добро̀ сотворѝ смире́нномꙋ и҆ не да́ждь нечести́вомꙋ: возбранѝ хлѣ́бы твоѧ̑ и҆ не да́ждь є҆мꙋ̀, да не тѣ́ми тѧ̀ премо́жетъ:

⁵

Do well unto him that is lowly, but give not to the ungodly: hold back thy bread, and give it not unto him, lest he overmaster thee thereby: for else thou shalt receive twice as much evil for all the good thou shalt have done unto him.

⁶

сꙋгꙋ̑ба бо ѕла̑ ѡ҆брѧ́щеши во всѣ́хъ благи́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же а҆́ще сотвори́ши є҆мꙋ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ вы́шнїй возненави́дѣ грѣ́шники и҆ нечести̑вымъ возда́стъ ме́сть.

⁶

For the most High hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance unto the ungodly, and keepeth them against the mighty day of their punishment.

⁷

Да́ждь благо́мꙋ и҆ не застꙋпа́й грѣ́шника.

⁷

Give unto the good, and help not the sinner.

⁸

Не позна́нъ бꙋ́детъ во благи́хъ дрꙋ́гъ и҆ не скры́етсѧ во ѕлы́хъ вра́гъ.

⁸

A friend cannot be known in prosperity: and an enemy cannot be hidden in adversity.

⁹

Є҆гда̀ во благи́хъ бꙋ́детъ мꙋ́жъ, вразѝ є҆гѡ̀ во печа́ли сꙋ́ть, во ѕлы́хъ же є҆гѡ̀ и҆ дрꙋ́гъ разлꙋчи́тсѧ.

⁹

In the prosperity of a man enemies will be grieved: but in his adversity even a friend will depart.

¹⁰

Не и҆мѝ вѣ́ры врагꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀ во вѣ́ки: ꙗ҆́коже бо мѣ́дь ржа́вѣетъ, та́кѡ и҆ ѕло́ба є҆гѡ̀:

¹⁰

Never trust thine enemy: for like as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness.

¹¹

и҆ а҆́ще смири́тсѧ и҆ по́йдетъ пони́кнꙋвъ, наста́ви дꙋ́шꙋ твою̀ и҆ храни́сѧ ѿ негѡ̀, и҆ бꙋ́деши є҆мꙋ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆чище́но зерца́ло, и҆ оу҆разꙋмѣ́еши, ꙗ҆́кѡ не до конца̀ ѡ҆торжа́вѣ:

¹¹

Though he humble himself, and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him, and thou shalt be unto him as if thou hadst wiped a looking-glass, and thou shalt know that his rust hath not been altogether wiped away.

¹²

не поста́ви є҆го̀ при себѣ̀, да не когда̀ и҆зри́нꙋвъ тѧ̀ ста́нетъ на мѣ́стѣ твое́мъ: не посадѝ є҆го̀ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю себє̀, да не пои́щетъ когда̀ сѣда́лища твоегѡ̀, и҆ на послѣ́докъ оу҆разꙋмѣ́еши словеса̀ моѧ̑ и҆ ѡ҆ глаго́лѣхъ мои́хъ оу҆мили́шисѧ.

¹²

Set him not by thee, lest, when he hath overthrown thee, he stand up in thy place; neither let him sit at thy right hand, lest he seek to take thy seat, and thou at the last remember my words, and be pricked therewith.

¹³

Кто̀ поми́лꙋетъ ѡ҆баѧ́нника ѕмі́емъ оу҆сѣ́кнена и҆ всѣ́хъ пристꙋпа́ющихъ ко ѕвѣрє́мъ; та́кожде ходѧ́щаго съ мꙋ́жемъ грѣ́шникомъ и҆ примѣша́ющагосѧ грѣхѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀:

¹³

Who will pity a charmer that is bitten with a serpent, or any such as come nigh wild beasts?

¹⁴

ча́съ съ тобо́ю пребꙋ́детъ, и҆ а҆́ще оу҆клони́шисѧ, не стерпи́тъ.

¹⁴

So one that goeth to a sinner, and is defiled with him in his sins, who will pity?

¹⁵

Оу҆стна́ма свои́ма оу҆слади́тъ вра́гъ, и҆ мно́гѡ поше́пчетъ и҆ рече́тъ добро̀ глаго́лѧ: ѻ҆чи́ма свои́ма прослези́тсѧ, а҆ се́рдцемъ свои́мъ оу҆совѣ́тꙋетъ ври́нꙋти тѧ̀ въ ро́въ, и҆ є҆гда̀ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ вре́мѧ, не насы́титсѧ кро́ве.

¹⁵

For a while he will abide with thee, but if thou begin to fall, he will not tarry.

¹⁶

А҆́ще срѧ́щꙋтъ тѧ̀ ѕла̑ѧ, тꙋ̀ ѡ҆брѧ́щеши є҆го̀ пе́рвѣе себє̀,

¹⁶

An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he imagineth how to throw thee into a pit: he will weep with his eyes, but if he find opportunity, he will not be satisfied with blood.

¹⁷

и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ помага́ѧй подсѣче́тъ пѧ́тꙋ твою̀:

¹⁷

If adversity come upon thee, thou shalt find him there first; and though he pretend to help thee, yet shall he undermine thee.

¹⁸

покива́етъ главо́ю свое́ю и҆ воспле́щетъ рꙋка́ма свои́ма, и҆ мно́гѡ поше́пчетъ и҆ и҆змѣни́тъ лицѐ своѐ.

¹⁸

He will shake his head, and clap his hands, and whisper much, and change his countenance.
