¹

Whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your pleasures that war in your members?

¹

Ѿкꙋ́дꙋ бра̑ни и҆ сва̑ры въ ва́съ; не ѿсю́дꙋ ли, ѿ сласте́й ва́шихъ, вою́ющихъ во оу҆́дѣхъ ва́шихъ;

²

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not.

²

Жела́ете, и҆ не и҆́мате: оу҆бива́ете и҆ зави́дите, и҆ не мо́жете оу҆лꙋчи́ти: сварѧ́етесѧ и҆ бо́рете, и҆ не и҆́мате, занѐ не про́сите:

³

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures.

³

про́сите, и҆ не прїе́млете, занѐ ѕлѣ̀ про́сите, да въ сласте́хъ ва́шихъ и҆ждиве́те.

⁴

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God.

⁴

Прелюбодѣ́є и҆ прелюбодѣ̑йцы, не вѣ́сте ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ любы̀ мі́ра сегѡ̀ вражда̀ бг҃ꙋ є҆́сть, и҆́же бо восхо́щетъ дрꙋ́гъ бы́ти мі́рꙋ, вра́гъ бж҃їй быва́етъ.

⁵

Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? The spirit which dwelt in us longeth unto envying.

⁵

И҆лѝ мнитѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ всꙋ́е писа́нїе глаго́летъ: къ за́висти жела́етъ дꙋ́хъ, и҆́же всели́сѧ въ ны̀;

⁶

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore the scripture saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

⁶

Бо́лшꙋю же дае́тъ блгⷣть: тѣ́мже глаго́летъ: гдⷭ҇ь гѡ́рдымъ проти́витсѧ, смирє́ннымъ же дае́тъ блгⷣть.

⁷

Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

⁷

(Заⷱ҇ н҃ѕ҃.) Повини́тесѧ оу҆̀бо бг҃ꙋ, проти́витесѧ же дїа́волꙋ, и҆ бѣжи́тъ ѿ ва́съ.

⁸

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.

⁸

Прибли́житесѧ бг҃ꙋ, и҆ прибли́житсѧ ва́мъ: ѡ҆чи́стите рꙋ́цѣ, грѣ̑шницы, и҆спра́вите сердца̀ ва̑ша, двоедꙋ́шнїи:

⁹

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

⁹

постражди́те и҆ слези́те и҆ пла́читесѧ: смѣ́хъ ва́шъ въ пла́чь да ѡ҆брати́тсѧ, и҆ ра́дость въ сѣ́тованїе:

¹⁰

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you.

¹⁰

смири́тесѧ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆ вознесе́тъ вы̀.

¹¹

Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaketh against a brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

¹¹

Не ѡ҆клевета́йте дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га, бра́тїе: ѡ҆клевета́ѧй бо бра́та, и҆лѝ ѡ҆сꙋжда́ѧй бра́та своего̀, ѡ҆клевета́етъ зако́нъ и҆ ѡ҆сꙋжда́етъ зако́нъ: а҆́ще же зако́нъ ѡ҆сꙋжда́еши, нѣ́си творе́цъ зако́на, но сꙋдїѧ̀.

¹²

One only is the lawgiver, even he who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou that judgest another?

¹²

Є҆ди́нъ є҆́сть законополо́жникъ и҆ сꙋдїѧ̀, могі́й спастѝ и҆ погꙋби́ти: ты́ же кто̀ є҆сѝ ѡ҆сꙋжда́ѧй дрꙋ́га;

¹³

Come now, ye that say, Today and tomorrow let us go into this city, and spend one year there, and trade, and get gain:

¹³

Слы́шите нн҃ѣ, глаго́лющїи: дне́сь и҆лѝ оу҆́трѣ по́йдемъ во ѡ҆́нъ гра́дъ, и҆ сотвори́мъ тꙋ̀ лѣ́то є҆ди́но, и҆ кꙋ́плю дѣ́емъ и҆ приѡбрѣте́нїе:

¹⁴

whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? For it will be a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then also vanisheth away.

¹⁴

и҆̀же не вѣ́сте, что̀ оу҆́трѣ слꙋчи́тсѧ: ка́ѧ бо жи́знь ва́ша, па́ра бо є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́же вма́лѣ ꙗ҆влѧ́етсѧ, пото́мъ же и҆счеза́етъ.

¹⁵

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, let us both live, and do this or that.

¹⁵

Вмѣ́стѡ є҆́же бы глаго́лати ва́мъ: а҆́ще гдⷭ҇ь восхо́щетъ, и҆ жи́ви бꙋ́демъ, и҆ сотвори́мъ сїѐ и҆лѝ ѻ҆́но:

¹⁶

But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.

¹⁶

нн҃ѣ же хва́литесѧ въ горды́нехъ ва́шихъ: всѧ́ка хвала̀ такова̀ ѕла̀ є҆́сть.

¹⁷

To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

¹⁷

Вѣ́дꙋщемꙋ оу҆̀бо добро̀ твори́ти, и҆ не творѧ́щемꙋ, грѣ́хъ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆́сть.
