The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king of Israel in Jerusalem.

¹

Глаг0лы є3кклесіaста, сhна давjдова, царS ї}лева во їеrли1мэ.

²

Vanity of vanities, said the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

²

СуетA сyетствій, речE є3кклесіaстъ, суетA сyетствій, всsчєскаz суетA.

³

What advantage is there to a man in all his labour that he takes under the sun?

³

К0е и3з8oби1ліе человёку во всeмъ трудЁ є3гw2, и4мже труди1тсz под8 с0лнцемъ;

⁴

A generation goes, and a generation comes: but the earth stands for ever.

⁴

Р0дъ прех0дитъ и3 р0дъ прих0дитъ, ґ землS во вёкъ стои1тъ.

⁵

And the sun arises, and the sun goes down and draws toward its place;

⁵

И# восх0дитъ с0лнце и3 зах0дитъ с0лнце и3 въ мёсто своE влечeтсz, сіE возсіzвaz тaмw.

⁶

arising there it proceeds southward, and goes round toward the north. The wind goes round and round, and the wind returns to its circuits.

⁶

И$детъ къ ю4гу и3 њбх0дитъ къ сёверу, њбх0дитъ w4крестъ, и4детъ дyхъ и3 на крyги сво‰ њбращaетсz дyхъ.

⁷

All the rivers run into the sea; and yet the sea is not filled: to the place whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

⁷

Вси2 пот0цы и4дутъ въ м0ре, и3 м0ре нёсть насыщaемо: на мёсто, ѓможе пот0цы и4дутъ, тaмw тjи возвращaютсz и3ти2.

⁸

All things are full of labour; a man will not be able to speak of them: neither shall the eye be satisfied with seeing, neither shall the ear be filled with hearing.

⁸

Вс‰ словесA тр{дна, не возм0жетъ мyжъ глаг0лати: и3 не насhтитсz џко зрёти, ни и3сп0лнитсz ќхо слhшаніz.

⁹

What is that which has been? the very thing which shall be: and what is that which has been done? the very thing which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

⁹

Что2 бhло, т0жде є4сть, є4же бyдетъ: и3 что2 бhло сотворeное, т0жде и4мать сотвори1тисz:

¹⁰

Who is he that shall speak and say, Behold, this is new? it has already been in the ages that have passed before us.

¹⁰

и3 ничт0же н0во под8 с0лнцемъ. И$же возглаг0летъ и3 речeтъ: сE, сіE н0во є4сть: ўжE бhсть въ вёцэхъ бhвшихъ прeжде нaсъ.

¹¹

There is no memorial to the first things; neither to the things that have been last shall their memorial be with them that shall be at the last time.

¹¹

Нёсть пaмzть пeрвыхъ, и3 послBднимъ бhвшымъ не бyдетъ и4хъ пaмzть съ бyдущими на послёдокъ.

¹²

I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

¹²

Ѓзъ є3кклесіaстъ бhхъ цaрь над8 ї}лемъ во їеrли1мэ

¹³

And I applied my heart to seek out and examine by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven, for God has given to the sons of men an evil trouble to be troubled therewith.

¹³

и3 вдaхъ сeрдце моE, є4же взыскaти и3 разсмотри1ти въ мyдрости њ всёхъ бывaющихъ под8 небесeмъ: ћкw попечeніе лукaво дадE бGъ сынHмъ человёчєскимъ, є4же ўпражднsтисz въ нeмъ.

¹⁴

I beheld all the works that were wrought under the sun; and, behold, all were vanity and waywardness of spirit.

¹⁴

Ви1дэхъ всsчєскаz сотворє1ніz сотворє1ннаz под8 с0лнцемъ: и3 сE, вс‰ сyетство и3 произволeніе дyха.

¹⁵

That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and deficiency cannot be numbered.

¹⁵

Развращeнное не м0жетъ и3спрaвитисz, и3 лишeніе не м0жетъ и3зчи1слитисz.

¹⁶

I spoke in my heart, saying, Behold, I am increased, and have acquired wisdom beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem: also I applied my heart to know wisdom and knowledge.

¹⁶

Глаг0лахъ ѓзъ въ сeрдцы моeмъ, є4же рещи2: сE, ѓзъ возвели1чихсz и3 ўмн0жихъ мyдрость пaче всёхъ, и5же бhша прeжде менє2 во їеrли1мэ,

¹⁷

And my heart knew much—wisdom, and knowledge, parables and understanding: I perceived that this also is waywardness of spirit.

¹⁷

и3 сeрдце моE вдaхъ, є4же вёдэти премyдрость и3 рaзумъ: и3 сeрдце моE ви1дэ мнHгаz, премyдрость и3 рaзумъ, при6тчи и3 хи1трость: ўразумёхъ ѓзъ, ћкw и3 сіE є4сть произволeніе дyха:

¹⁸

For in the abundance of wisdom is abundance of knowledge; and he that increases knowledge will increase sorrow.

¹⁸

ћкw во мн0жествэ мyдрости мн0жество рaзума, и3 приложи1вый рaзумъ приложи1тъ болёзнь.
