¹

Сїѧ̀ первозда́ннаго ѻ҆тца̀ мі́рꙋ є҆ди́наго созда́ннаго сохранѝ и҆ и҆зведѐ є҆го̀ ѿ грѣха̀ є҆гѡ̀,

¹

She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall,

²

даде́ же є҆мꙋ̀ крѣ́пость содержа́ти всѧ́чєскаѧ.

²

and gave him power to rule all things.

³

Ѿстꙋпи́въ же ѿ неѧ̀ непра́ведный во гнѣ́вѣ свое́мъ со братоꙋбі́йственными поги́бе ꙗ҆́ростьми:

³

But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.

⁴

є҆гѡ́же ра́ди потоплѧ́емꙋ зе́млю па́ки спасѐ премꙋ́дрость, ма́лымъ дре́вомъ првⷣника соблю́дши.

⁴

For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.

⁵

Сїѧ̀ и҆ во є҆диномы́слїи лꙋка́вства смѣ́шеныхъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ ѡ҆брѣ́те првⷣника и҆ сохранѝ є҆го̀ непоро́чна бг҃ꙋ, и҆ въ поболѣ́нїи ѡ҆ ча́дѣ крѣ́пка соблюдѐ.

⁵

Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion toward his son.

⁶

Сїѧ̀ првⷣнаго, погиба́ющымъ нечести́вымъ, и҆зба́ви бѣжа́щаго ѿ ѻ҆гнѧ̀ низходѧ́ща на пѧ́ть градѡ́въ:

⁶

When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities.

⁷

и҆́хже є҆щѐ свидѣ́телство лꙋка́вствїѧ дымѧ́щаѧсѧ стои́тъ землѧ̀ пꙋста̀, и҆ несоверше́нными времены̀ плодоносѧ̑щаѧ древеса̀, и҆ невѣ́рныѧ дꙋшѝ па́мѧть стоѧ́щь сто́лпъ сла́нъ.

⁷

Of whose wickedness, even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.

⁸

Премꙋ́дрость бо мимоходѧ́щїи не то́кмѡ повреди́шасѧ, є҆́же не вѣ́дѣти бла́га, но и҆ безꙋ́мїѧ своегѡ̀ ѡ҆ста́виша житїю̀ па́мѧть, да въ ни́хже согрѣши́ша, нижѐ оу҆таи́тисѧ возмо́гꙋтъ.

⁸

For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.

⁹

Премꙋ́дрость же слꙋжа́щихъ є҆́й ѿ болѣ́зней и҆зба́ви.

⁹

But wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her.

¹⁰

Сїѧ̀ бѣжа́щаго ѿ гнѣ́ва бра́тнѧ првⷣника наста́ви на стєзѝ пра̑вы и҆ показа̀ є҆мꙋ̀ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ра́зꙋмъ ст҃ы́хъ, почтѐ є҆го̀ въ трꙋдѣ́хъ и҆ оу҆мно́жи трꙋды̀ є҆гѡ̀.

¹⁰

When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath, she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours.

¹¹

Во ѡ҆би́дѣ ѡ҆бдержа́щихъ є҆го̀ предста̀ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ ѡ҆богатѝ є҆го̀,

¹¹

In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.

¹²

сохранѝ є҆го̀ ѿ вра̑гъ, и҆ ѿ навѣ́тꙋющихъ защитѝ є҆го̀, и҆ по́двигъ крѣ́покъ на побѣ́дꙋ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀, да оу҆вѣ́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѣ́хъ сильнѣ́е є҆́сть бл҃гоче́стїе.

¹²

She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that godliness is stronger than all.

¹³

Сїѧ̀ прода́наго првⷣника не ѡ҆ста́ви, но ѿ грѣха̀ и҆зба́ви є҆го̀: сни́де съ ни́мъ въ ро́въ,

¹³

When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,

¹⁴

и҆ во оу҆́захъ не ѡ҆ста́ви є҆го̀, до́ндеже принесѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ски́птръ ца́рствїѧ и҆ вла́сть на мꙋ́чащихъ є҆го̀: лжи́выхъ же показа̀, поро́къ сотво́ршихъ на́нь, и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ сла́вꙋ вѣ́чнꙋю.

¹⁴

and left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.

¹⁵

Сїѧ̀ люде́й преподо́бныхъ и҆ сѣ́мѧ непоро́чное и҆зба́ви ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ ѡ҆скорблѧ́ющихъ:

¹⁵

She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.

¹⁶

вни́де въ дꙋ́шꙋ раба̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ и҆ воста̀ проти́вꙋ царе́й стра́шныхъ въ чꙋдесѣ́хъ и҆ зна́менїихъ.

¹⁶

She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;

¹⁷

Воздадѐ преподѡ́бнымъ мздꙋ̀ трꙋдѡ́въ и҆́хъ, наста́ви и҆̀хъ въ пꙋ́ть ди́венъ и҆ бы́сть и҆̀мъ въ покро́въ дне́мъ и҆ въ пла́мень ѕвѣ́здъ въ нощѝ.

¹⁷

rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided them in a marvellous way, and was unto them for a cover by day, and a light of stars in the night season;

¹⁸

Преведѐ и҆̀хъ но мо́рю чермно́мꙋ и҆ проведѐ и҆̀хъ сквозѣ̀ во́дꙋ мно́гꙋ:

¹⁸

brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much water:

¹⁹

враги́ же и҆́хъ потопѝ и҆ и҆з̾ глꙋбины̀ бе́здны и҆зри́нꙋ и҆̀хъ.

¹⁹

but she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.

²⁰

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди пра́веднїи взѧ́ша кѡры́сти нечести́выхъ и҆ воспѣ́ша, гдⷭ҇и, и҆́мѧ ст҃о́е твоѐ, и҆ ѡ҆долѣ́телницꙋ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ похвали́ша є҆динодꙋ́шнѣ:

²⁰

Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thine hand, that fought for them.

²¹

ꙗ҆́кѡ премꙋ́дрость ѿве́рзе оу҆ста̀ нѣмы́хъ и҆ ѧ҆зы́ки младе́нцємъ сотворѝ ꙗ҆́сны.

²¹

For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of them that cannot speak eloquent.
