Є҆гда́ же прїидо́хъ въ до́мъ мо́й, и҆ ѿдана̀ бы́сть мнѣ̀ а҆́нна жена̀ моѧ̀ и҆ тѡві́а сы́нъ мо́й, въ пра́здникъ пѧтьдесѧ́тницы, и҆̀же є҆́сть ст҃ъ се́дмь седми́цъ, бы́сть ѡ҆бѣ́дъ до́бръ мнѣ̀, и҆ возлего́хъ, є҆́же ꙗ҆́сти.

Now when I was come home again, and my wife Anna was restored unto me, with my son Tobias, in the feast of Pentecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks, there was a good dinner prepared me; and I sat down to eat.

²

И҆ оу҆зрѣ́хъ снѣ̑ди мнѡ́ги и҆ рѣ́хъ сы́нꙋ моемꙋ̀: и҆ди́ и҆ приведѝ, є҆го́же а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щеши ѿ бра́тїи на́шеѧ ни́щаго, и҆́же по́мнитъ гдⷭ҇а, и҆ сѐ, ѡ҆жида́ю тебѐ.

²

And when I saw abundance of meat, I said to my son, Go and bring what poor man soever thou shalt find out of our brethren, who is mindful of the Lord; and, lo, I tarry for thee.

³

И҆ прише́дъ речѐ: ѻ҆́тче, є҆ди́нъ ѿ ро́да на́шегѡ оу҆давле́нъ пове́рженъ є҆́сть на то́ржищи.

³

But he came again, and said, Father, one of our nation is strangled, and is cast out in the marketplace.

⁴

И҆ а҆́зъ, пре́жде не́же вкꙋси́ти мѝ, взѧ́хъ є҆го̀ въ нѣ́кїй до́мъ, доне́лѣже за́йде со́лнце:

⁴

Then before I had tasted any meat, I started up, and took him up into a room until the going down of the sun.

⁵

и҆ возврати́всѧ оу҆мы́хсѧ и҆ ꙗ҆до́хъ хлѣ́бъ мо́й въ ско́рби,

⁵

Then I returned, and washed myself, and ate my meat in heaviness,

⁶

и҆ помѧнꙋ́хъ прⷱ҇҃оро́чество а҆мѡ́са, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ: ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ дні́е ва́ши въ пла́чь, и҆ всѧ̑ весє́лїѧ ва̑ша въ сѣ́тованїе:

⁶

remembering that prophecy of Amos, as he said, Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your mirth into lamentation.

⁷

и҆ пла́кахсѧ: и҆ є҆гда̀ за́йде со́лнце, поидо́хъ и҆ и҆скопа́въ погребо́хъ є҆го̀.

⁷

Therefore I wept: and after the going down of the sun I went and made a grave, and buried him.

⁸

Бли́жнїи же посмѣва́хꙋсѧ, глаго́люще: є҆щѐ не бои́тсѧ оу҆бїе́нъ бы́ти за дѣ́ло сїѐ: и҆ бѣжа̀, и҆ сѐ, па́ки погреба́етъ мє́ртвыѧ.

⁸

But my neighbours mocked me, and said, This man is not yet afraid to be put to death for this matter: who fled away; and yet, lo, he burieth the dead again.

⁹

И҆ въ тꙋ̀ но́щь, є҆гда̀ погребо́хъ, возврати́хсѧ и҆ лего́хъ ѡ҆́скверне́нъ при стѣнѣ̀ двора̀, и҆ лицѐ моѐ ѿкрове́но бѣ̀:

⁹

The same night also I returned from the burial, and slept by the wall of my courtyard, being polluted, and my face was uncovered:

¹⁰

не ви́дѣхъ же, ꙗ҆́кѡ вра̑бїѧ на стѣнѣ̀ сꙋ́ть, и҆ ѻ҆чесе́мъ мои̑мъ ѿвє́рстымъ сꙋ́щымъ, и҆спꙋсти́ша вра̑бїѧ те́плое на ѻ҆чеса̀ моѧ̑, и҆ бы́ша бѣ́льма на ѻ҆чесѣ́хъ мои́хъ: и҆ и҆до́хъ ко врачє́мъ и҆ не по́льзоваша мѧ̀: а҆хїа́харъ же пита́ше мѧ̀, до́ндеже ѿидо́хъ во є҆лѷмаі́дꙋ.

¹⁰

and I knew not that there were sparrows in the wall, and mine eyes being open, the sparrows muted warm dung into mine eyes, and a whiteness came in mine eyes; and I went to the physicians, but they helped me not: moreover Achiacharus did nourish me, until I went into Elymais.

¹¹

А҆ жена̀ моѧ̀ а҆́нна во́лнꙋ прѧдѧ́ше въ домѣ́хъ же́нскихъ

¹¹

And my wife Anna did take women's works to do.

¹²

и҆ посыла́ше госпо́дїємъ: даѧ́хꙋ же є҆́й и҆ ѻ҆нѝ мздꙋ̀, прида́вше и҆ козлѧ̀.

¹²

And when she had sent them home to the owners, they paid her wages, giving her also besides a kid.

¹³

Є҆гда́ же прїи́де ко мнѣ̀, нача̀ вопи́ти: и҆ рѣ́хъ є҆́й: ѿкꙋ́дꙋ козлѧ̀; не оу҆кра́дено ли є҆́сть; ѿда́ждь є҆̀ госпо́дїємъ: не бо̀ лѣ́по є҆́сть ꙗ҆́сти кра́деное.

¹³

And when it was in my house, and began to cry, I said unto her, From whence is this kid? is it not stolen? render it to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat any thing that is stolen.

¹⁴

Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ: да́ръ даде́сѧ мѝ над̾ мздꙋ̀. И҆ не вѣ́ровахъ є҆́й и҆ глаго̀лахъ ѿда́ти є҆̀ госпо́дїємъ, и҆ стыдѧ́хсѧ пред̾ не́ю. Ѻ҆на́ же ѿвѣща́вши речѐ мѝ: гдѣ̀ сꙋ́ть ми́лѡстыни твоѧ̑ и҆ пра̑вды твоѧ̑; сѐ, вѣ́дѡма всѧ̑ съ тобо́ю.

¹⁴

But she replied upon me, It was given for a gift more than the wages. Howbeit I did not believe her, but bade her render it to the owners: and I was abashed at her. But she replied upon me, Where are thine alms and thy righteous deeds? behold, thou and all thy works are known.
