¹

For, behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall govern with judgment.

¹

Се́ бо, цр҃ь првⷣный воц҃ри́тсѧ, и҆ кнѧ̑зи со сꙋдо́мъ владѣ́ти начнꙋ́тъ.

²

And a man shall hide his words, and be hidden, as from rushing water, and shall appear in Sion as a rushing river, glorious in a thirsty land.

²

И҆ бꙋ́детъ человѣ́къ сокрыва́ѧй словеса̀ своѧ̑, и҆ скры́етсѧ, а҆́ки ѿ воды̀ носи́мыѧ: и҆ ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ въ сїѡ́нѣ ꙗ҆́кѡ рѣка̀ текꙋ́щаѧ сла́внаѧ въ землѝ жа́ждꙋщей.

³

And they shall no more trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear.

³

И҆ ксемꙋ̀ не бꙋ́дꙋтъ оу҆пова́юще на человѣ́ки, но оу҆́шы вдадѧ́тъ на слы́шанїе,

⁴

And the heart of the weak ones shall attend to hear, and the stammering tongues shall soon learn to speak peace.

⁴

и҆ се́рдце и҆знемо́гшихъ во́нметъ послꙋ́шати, и҆ ѧ҆зы́цы нѣмотствꙋ́ющїи ско́рѡ наꙋча́тсѧ глаго́лати ми́ръ:

⁵

And they shall no more at all tell a fool to rule, and thy servants shall no more at all say, Be silent.

⁵

и҆ ксемꙋ̀ не рекꙋ́тъ ю҆ро́дивомꙋ владѣ́ти, и҆ ксемꙋ̀ не рекꙋ́тъ слꙋги̑ твоѝ: молчѝ.

⁶

For the fool shall speak foolish words, and his heart shall meditate vanities, and to perform lawless deeds and to speak error against the Lord, to scatter hungry souls, and he will cause the thirsty souls to be empty.

⁶

Ю҆ро́дъ бо ю҆рѡ́диваѧ и҆зрѣче́тъ, и҆ се́рдце є҆гѡ̀ тщє́тнаѧ оу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ, є҆́же соверша́ти беззакѡ́ннаѧ и҆ глаго́лати на гдⷭ҇а пре́лесть, є҆́же растли́ти дꙋ́шы а҆́лчныѧ и҆ дꙋ́шы жа́ждꙋщыѧ тщы̀ сотвори́ти.

⁷

For the counsel of the wicked will devise iniquity, to destroy the poor with unjust words, and ruin the cause of the poor in judgment.

⁷

Совѣ́тъ бо ѕлы́хъ беззакѡ́ннаѧ совѣщава́етъ, растли́ти смирє́нныѧ словесы̀ непра́ведными и҆ разсы́пати словеса̀ смире́нныхъ на сꙋдѣ̀.

⁸

But the godly have devised wise measures, and this counsel shall stand.

⁸

Благочести́вїи же смы́сленнѣ совѣща́ша, и҆ то́й совѣ́тъ пребꙋ́детъ.

⁹

Rise up, ye rich women, and hear my voice; ye confident daughters, hearken to my words.

⁹

Жєны̀ бога̑тыѧ, воста́ните и҆ оу҆слы́шите гла́съ мо́й: дщє́ри, съ наде́ждею слы́шите словеса̀ моѧ̑:

¹⁰

Remember for a full year in pain, yet with hope: the vintage has been cut off, it has ceased, it shall by no means come again.

¹⁰

днѧ̀ лѣ́тнѧгѡ па́мѧть сотвори́те въ болѣ́зни съ наде́ждею: потреби́сѧ ѡ҆б̾има́нїе ві́нное, преста̀ сѣ́ѧнїе, и҆ (собира́нїе) ктомꙋ̀ не прїи́детъ.

¹¹

Be amazed, be pained, ye confident ones: strip you, bare yourselves, gird your loins;

¹¹

Оу҆жасни́тесѧ, сжа́литесѧ, оу҆пова́вшыѧ, совлецы́тесѧ, на̑ги бꙋ́дите, препоѧ́шите чрє́сла своѧ̑ во врє́тища

¹²

and beat on your breasts, because of the pleasant field, and the fruit of the vine.

¹²

и҆ въ пє́рси бі́йтесѧ ѡ҆ селѣ̀ жела́емѣмъ и҆ ѡ҆ вїногра́днѣмъ рожде́нїи.

¹³

As for the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon it, and joy shall be removed from every house.

¹³

На землѝ люді́й мои́хъ те́рнїе и҆ бы́лїе возни́кнетъ, и҆ ѿ всегѡ̀ до́мꙋ ра́дость восхи́титсѧ: гра́дъ бога́тъ,

¹⁴

As for the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, and the pleasant houses: and the villages shall be caves for ever, the joy of wild asses, shepherds' pastures;

¹⁴

до́мове ѡ҆ста́вленнїи, бога́тство гра́да и҆ до́мы вожделѣ́нїѧ ѡ҆ста́вѧтъ: и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ вє́си пещє́ры до вѣ́ка, ра́дость ѻ҆слѡ́мъ ди̑вїимъ, па̑ствы пастꙋхѡ́въ:

¹⁵

until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high, and Chermel shall be desert, and Chermel shall be counted for a forest.

¹⁵

до́ндеже на́йдетъ на ны̀ дх҃ъ ѿ вы́шнѧгѡ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ пꙋсты́нѧ въ херме́ль, а҆ херме́ль въ дꙋбра́вꙋ вмѣни́тсѧ.

¹⁶

Then judgment shall abide in the wilderness, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel.

¹⁶

И҆ почі́етъ въ пꙋсты́ни сꙋ́дъ, и҆ пра́вда въ карми́лѣ всели́тсѧ:

¹⁷

And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall ensure rest, and the righteous shall be confident for ever.

¹⁷

и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ дѣла̀ пра́вды ми́ръ, и҆ ѡ҆держи́тъ пра́вда поко́й, и҆ оу҆пова́юще бꙋ́дꙋтъ до вѣ́ка:

¹⁸

And his people shall inhabit a city of peace, and dwell in it in confidence, and they shall rest with wealth.

¹⁸

и҆ вселѧ́тсѧ лю́дїе є҆гѡ̀ во гра́дѣ ми́ра и҆ ѡ҆бита́ти бꙋ́дꙋтъ оу҆пова́юще, и҆ почі́ютъ съ бога́тствомъ.

¹⁹

And if the hail should come down, it shall not come upon you; and they that dwell in the forests shall be in confidence, as those in the plain country.

¹⁹

Гра́дъ же, а҆́ще сни́детъ, то̀ не на вы̀ прїи́детъ: и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ живꙋ́щїи въ дꙋбра́вахъ оу҆пова́юще, ꙗ҆́коже сꙋ́щїи на полѧ́хъ.

²⁰

Blessed are they that sow by every water, where the ox and ass tread.

²⁰

Блаже́ни сѣ́ющїи при всѧ́цѣй водѣ̀, и҆дѣ́же во́лъ и҆ ѻ҆се́лъ попира́етъ.
