¹

Првⷣныхъ не дꙋ́ши въ рꙋцѣ̀ бж҃їей, и҆ не прико́снетсѧ и҆́хъ мꙋ́ка.

¹

But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.

²

Непщева́ни бы́ша во ѻ҆́чїю безꙋ́мныхъ оу҆мре́ти, и҆ вмѣни́сѧ ѡ҆ѕлобле́нїе и҆схо́дъ и҆́хъ,

²

In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,

³

и҆ є҆́же ѿ на́съ ше́ствїе сокрꙋше́нїе: ѻ҆ни́ же сꙋ́ть въ ми́рѣ.

³

and their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace.

⁴

И҆́бо пред̾ лице́мъ человѣ́ческимъ а҆́ще и҆ мꙋ́кꙋ прїи́мꙋтъ, оу҆пова́нїе и҆́хъ безсме́ртїѧ и҆спо́лнено:

⁴

For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.

⁵

и҆ вма́лѣ нака́зани бы́вше, вели́кими благодѣ́телствовани бꙋ́дꙋтъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ и҆скꙋсѝ и҆̀хъ и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те и҆̀хъ достѡ́йны себѣ̀:

⁵

And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.

⁶

ꙗ҆́кѡ зла́то въ горни́лѣ и҆скꙋсѝ и҆̀хъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ всепло́дїе же́ртвенное прїѧ́тъ ѧ҆̀.

⁶

As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.

⁷

И҆ во вре́мѧ посѣще́нїѧ и҆́хъ возсїѧ́ютъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́скры по сте́блїю потекꙋ́тъ:

⁷

And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.

⁸

сꙋ́дѧтъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ и҆ ѡ҆блада́ютъ людьмѝ, и҆ воцр҃и́тсѧ въ ни́хъ гдⷭ҇ь во вѣ́ки.

⁸

They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

⁹

Надѣ́ющїисѧ на́нь оу҆разꙋмѣ́ютъ и҆́стинꙋ, и҆ вѣ́рнїи въ любвѝ пребꙋ́дꙋтъ є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ блгⷣть и҆ млⷭ҇ть въ прпⷣбныхъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ посѣще́нїе во и҆збра́нныхъ є҆гѡ̀.

⁹

They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.

¹⁰

Нечести́вїи же, ꙗ҆́кѡ помы́слиша, прїи́мꙋтъ запреще́нїе, и҆̀же неради́вшїи ѡ҆ првⷣнѣмъ и҆ ѿ гдⷭ҇а ѿстꙋпи́вше.

¹⁰

But the ungodly shall be punished according to their own imaginations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken the Lord.

¹¹

Премꙋ́дрость бо и҆ наказа́нїе оу҆ничижа́ѧй ѡ҆каѧ́ненъ, и҆ пра́здно оу҆пова́нїе и҆́хъ, и҆ трꙋды̀ безплѡ́дны, и҆ неключи̑ма дѣла̀ и҆́хъ:

¹¹

For whoso despiseth wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, and their works unprofitable:

¹²

жєны̀ и҆́хъ безꙋ̑мны и҆ лꙋка̑ва ча̑да и҆́хъ, про́клѧто рожде́нїе и҆́хъ.

¹²

their wives are foolish, and their children wicked:

¹³

Ꙗ҆́кѡ блаже́на є҆́сть непло́ды неѡскверне́наѧ, ꙗ҆́же не позна̀ ло́жа во грѣсѣ̀, и҆мѣ́ти бꙋ́детъ пло́дъ въ посѣще́нїи дꙋ́шъ:

¹³

Their offspring is cursed. Wherefore blessed is the barren that is undefiled, which hath not known the sinful bed: she shall have fruit in the visitation of souls.

¹⁴

и҆ є҆ѵнꙋ́хъ, и҆́же не содѣ́ла въ рꙋкꙋ̀ (своє́ю) беззако́нїѧ, нижѐ помы́сли на гдⷭ҇а лꙋка̑ваѧ, да́стсѧ бо є҆мꙋ̀ вѣ́ры благода́ть и҆збра́нна и҆ жре́бїй во хра́мѣ гдⷭ҇ни оу҆го́днѣйшїй.

¹⁴

And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.

¹⁵

Благи́хъ бо трꙋдѡ́въ пло́дъ благосла́венъ, и҆ не ѿпа́дающь ко́рень ра́зꙋма.

¹⁵

For glorious is the fruit of good labours: and the root of wisdom shall never fall away.

¹⁶

Ча̑да же прелюбодѣ́євъ несовершє́на бꙋ́дꙋтъ, и҆ ѿ законопрестꙋ́пнагѡ ло́жа сѣ́мѧ и҆зче́знетъ:

¹⁶

As for the children of adulterers, they shall not come to their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall be rooted out.

¹⁷

а҆́ще бо долгоживо́тни бꙋ́дꙋтъ, ни во что́же вмѣнѧ́тсѧ, и҆ безче́стна на послѣ́докъ ста́рость и҆́хъ:

¹⁷

For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honour.

¹⁸

а҆́ще же ско́рѡ сконча́ютсѧ, не бꙋ́дꙋтъ и҆мѣ́ти оу҆пова́нїѧ, нижѐ въ де́нь сꙋда̀ оу҆тѣше́нїѧ:

¹⁸

Or, if they die quickly, they have no hope, neither comfort in the day of trial.

¹⁹

ро́да бо непра́веднагѡ лю̑таѧ ѡ҆конча̑нїѧ.

¹⁹

For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation.
