And Job answered and said,

¹

Tвэщaвъ же јwвъ, речE:

²

So then ye alone are men, and wisdom shall die with you?

²

ќбw вы2 ли є3ди1ни є3стE человёцы, и3ли2 съ вaми скончaетсz премyдрость;

³

But I also have a heart as well as you.

³

И# ў менє2 сeрдце є4сть ћкоже и3 ў вaсъ.

⁴

For a righteous and blameless man has become a subject for mockery.

⁴

Прaведенъ бо мyжъ и3 непор0ченъ бhсть въ поругaніе:

⁵

For it had been ordained that he should fall under others at the appointed time, and that his houses should be spoiled by transgressors: let not however any one trust that, being evil, he shall be held guiltless,

⁵

во врeмz бо њпредэлeное ўгот0ванъ бhсть пaсти t и3нhхъ, д0мы же є3гw2 њпустошє1ны бhти беззак0нными. nбaче никт0же да ўповaетъ, лукaвъ сhй, непови1ненъ бhти,

⁶

even as many as provoke the Lord, as if there were indeed to be no inquisition made of them.

⁶

є3ли1цы разгнэвлsютъ гDа, ѓки и3 и3стzзaніz и5мъ не бyдетъ.

⁷

But ask now the beasts, if they may speak to thee; and the birds of the air, if they may declare to thee.

⁷

Но вопроси2 четверон0гихъ, ѓще ти2 рекyтъ, и3 пти1цъ небeсныхъ, ѓще ти2 возвэстsтъ:

⁸

Tell the earth, if it may speak to thee: and the fishes of the sea shall explain to thee.

⁸

повёждь земли2, ѓще ти2 скaжетъ, и3 и3сповёдzтъ ти2 ры6бы мwрскjz.

⁹

Who then has not known in all these things, that the hand of the Lord has made them?

⁹

Кто2 ќбw не разумЁ во всёхъ си1хъ, ћкw рукA гDнz сотвори2 сі‰;

¹⁰

Whereas the life of all living things is in his hand, and the breath of every man.

¹⁰

Не въ руцё ли є3гw2 душA всёхъ живyщихъ и3 дyхъ всsкагw человёка;

¹¹

For the ear tries words, and the palate tastes meats.

¹¹

Ќхо бо словесA разсуждaетъ, гортaнь же бр†шна вкушaетъ.

¹²

In length of time is wisdom, and in long life knowledge.

¹²

Во мн0зэмъ врeмени премyдрость, во мн0зэ же житіи2 вёдэніе.

¹³

With him are wisdom and power, with him counsel and understanding.

¹³

Ў негw2 премyдрость и3 си1ла, ў тогw2 совётъ и3 рaзумъ.

¹⁴

If he should cast down, who will build up? if he should shut up against men, who shall open?

¹⁴

Ѓще низложи1тъ, кто2 сози1ждетъ; ѓще затвори1тъ t человёкwвъ, кто2 tвeрзетъ;

¹⁵

If he should withhold the water, he will dry the earth: and if he should let it loose, he overthrows and destroys it.

¹⁵

Ѓще возбрани1тъ в0ду, и3зсуши1тъ зeмлю: ѓще же пyститъ, погуби1тъ ю5 преврати1въ.

¹⁶

With him are strength and power: he has knowledge and understanding.

¹⁶

Ў негw2 держaва и3 крёпость, ў тогw2 вёдэніе и3 рaзумъ.

¹⁷

He leads counsellors away captive, and maddens the judges of the earth.

¹⁷

Проводsй совётники плэнє1ны, судіи6 же земли2 ўжаси2:

¹⁸

He seats kings upon thrones, and girds their loins with a girdle.

¹⁸

посаждazй цари6 на прест0лэхъ и3 њбвzзyzй п0zсомъ чрє1сла и4хъ:

¹⁹

He sends away priests into captivity, and overthrows the mighty ones of the earth.

¹⁹

tпущazй жерцы2 плённики, си1льныхъ же земли2 низврати2:

²⁰

He changes the lips of the trusty, and he knows the understanding of the elders.

²⁰

и3змэнszй ўстнЁ вёрныхъ, рaзумъ же стaрцєвъ ўразумЁ:

²¹

He pours dishonour upon princes, and heals the lowly.

²¹

и3зливazй безчeстіе на кн‰зи, смирє1нныz же и3зцэли2:

²²

Revealing deep things out of darkness: and he has brought into light the shadow of death.

²²

tкрывazй глубHкаz t тмы2, и3зведe же на свётъ сёнь смeртную:

²³

Causing the nations to wander, and destroying them: overthrowing the nations, and leading them away.

²³

прельщazй kзhки и3 погублszй и5хъ, низлагazй kзhки и3 наставлszй и5хъ:

²⁴

Perplexing the minds of the princes of the earth: and he causes them to wander in a way they have not known, saying,

²⁴

и3змэнszй сердцA кнzзeй земнhхъ, прельсти1 же и5хъ на пути2, є3гHже не вёдzху,

²⁵

Let them grope in darkness, and let there be no light, and let them wander as a drunken man.

²⁵

да њсsжутъ тмY, ґ не свётъ, да заблyдzтъ же ћкw піsный.
