| Не свари́сѧ съ человѣ́комъ си́льнымъ, и҆ да не когда̀ впаде́ши въ рꙋ́цѣ є҆гѡ̀. | Strive not with a mighty man, lest thou fall into his hands. |
|
2
|
2
|
| Не тѧжи́сѧ съ человѣ́комъ бога́тымъ, да не когда̀ ѡ҆тѧготи́тъ тѝ мѣ́рꙋ: | Be not at variance with a rich man, lest he overweigh thee: for gold hath destroyed many, and perverted the hearts of kings. |
|
3
|
3
|
| мно́гихъ бо погꙋбѝ зла́то, и҆ сердца̀ ца̑рскаѧ преклонѝ. | Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire. |
|
4

4
|
| Не свари́сѧ съ человѣ́комъ ѧ҆зы́чнымъ и҆ не наклада́й на ѻ҆́гнь є҆гѡ̀ дро́въ. | Jest not with a rude man, lest thy ancestors be disgraced. |
|
5
|
5
|
| Не и҆гра́й съ ненака́заннымъ, да не прїи́мꙋтъ безче́стїѧ прароди́телїе твоѝ. | Reproach not a man that turneth from sin, but remember that we are all worthy of punishment. |
|
6
|
6
|
| Не поносѝ человѣ́кꙋ ѡ҆браща́ющꙋсѧ ѿ грѣха̀: помѧнѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѝ є҆смы̀ во є҆пїтїмїа́хъ. | Dishonour not a man in his old age: for even some of us wax old. |
|
7
|
7
|
| Не безче́сти человѣ́ка въ ста́рости є҆гѡ̀: и҆́бо и҆ ты̀ са́мъ состарѣ́ешисѧ. | Rejoice not over thy greatest enemy being dead, but remember that we die all. |
|
8
|
8
|
| Не ра́дꙋйсѧ ѡ҆ мертвецѣ̀ бы́вшемъ вражде́бнѣйшемъ тебѣ̀: помѧнѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѝ оу҆мира́емъ. | Despise not the discourse of the wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs: for of them thou shalt learn instruction, and how to serve great men with ease. |
|
9
|
9
|
| Не пре́зри по́вѣсти премꙋ́дрыхъ и҆ въ при́тчахъ и҆́хъ живѝ: | Miss not the discourse of the elders: for they also learned of their fathers, and of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give answer as need requireth. |
|
10
|
10
|
| ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ ни́хъ навы́кнеши наказа́нїю и҆ слꙋжи́ти вельмо́жамъ оу҆до́бнѡ. | Kindle not the coals of a sinner, lest thou be burnt with the flame of his fire. |
|
11
|
11
|
| Не ѿстꙋпа́й ѿ по́вѣсти ста́рцєвъ: и҆́бо ті́и навыко́ша ѿ ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ: | Rise not up in anger at the presence of an injurious person, lest he lie in wait to entrap thee in thy words. |
|
12
|
12
|
| ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ ни́хъ навы́кнеши ра́зꙋмꙋ и҆ во вре́мѧ потре́бно да́ти ѿвѣ́тъ. | Lend not unto him that is mightier than thyself; for if thou lendest him, count it but lost. |
|
13
|
13
|
| Не возгнѣща́й оу҆́глїѧ грѣ́шникꙋ, да не сгори́ши ѻ҆гне́мъ пла́мене є҆гѡ̀. | Be not surety above thy power: for if thou be surety, take care to pay it. |
|
14
|
14
|
| Не воста́ни на лицѐ досади́телево, да не присѣди́тъ ꙗ҆́кѡ навѣ́тникъ оу҆стѡ́мъ твои̑мъ. | Go not to law with a judge; for they will judge for him according to his honour. |
|
15
|
15
|
| Взаи́мъ не да́й человѣ́кꙋ крѣ́пльшꙋ тебє̀, и҆ а҆́ще да́си, бꙋ́ди ꙗ҆́коже погꙋби́вый. | Travel not by the way with a bold fellow, lest he become grievous unto thee: for he will do according to his own will, and thou shalt perish with him through his folly. |
|
16
|
16
|
| Не порꙋча́йсѧ вы́ше си́лы твоеѧ̀: и҆ а҆́ще порꙋчи́шисѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ воздаѧ́й пецы́сѧ. | Strive not with an angry man, and go not with him into a solitary place: for blood is as nothing in his sight; and where there is no help, he will overthrow thee. |
|
17
|
17
|
| Не свари́сѧ со сꙋдїе́ю: по разсꙋжде́нїю бо є҆гѡ̀ бꙋ́дꙋтъ сꙋди́ти є҆мꙋ̀. | Consult not with a fool; for he cannot keep counsel. |
|
18
|
18
|
| Съ де́рзымъ не ходѝ на пꙋ́ть, ꙗ҆́кѡ да не ѡ҆тѧготи́тсѧ на тѧ̀: то́й бо сотвори́тъ по во́ли свое́й, и҆ съ бꙋ́йствомъ є҆гѡ̀ поги́бнеши. | Do no secret thing before a stranger: for thou knowest not what he will bring forth. |
|
19
|
19
|
| Съ ꙗ҆́ростивымъ не свари́сѧ и҆ не и҆дѝ съ ни́мъ сквозѣ̀ пꙋсты́ню: пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма бо є҆гѡ̀ кро́вь ꙗ҆́кѡ ничто́же є҆́сть, и҆ и҆дѣ́же нѣ́сть по́мощи, та́мѡ низложи́тъ тѧ̀. | Open not thine heart to every man, lest he requite thee with a shrewd turn. |
|
20
|
|
| Съ бꙋ́имъ совѣ́та не творѝ: не возмо́жетъ бо сло́ва оу҆держа́ти. | |
|
21
|
|
| Пред̾ чꙋжи́мъ не творѝ та́йнагѡ: не вѣ́си бо, что̀ роди́тъ тѝ. | |
|
22
|
|
| Всѧ́комꙋ человѣ́кꙋ не ꙗ҆влѧ́й се́рдца твоегѡ̀, да не возда́стъ тѝ благода́ти ло́жныѧ. |
