¹

Behold, mine eye has seen these things, and mine ear has heard them.

¹

Все с^е ви'дњ ѓ%ко мое, и^ слы'ша ё^хо мое, и^ вњдњ

²

And I know all that ye too know; and I have not less understanding than you.

²

е^ли'коже и^ в^ы вњ'сте” И$ не нераꙁђмvњ е^смь вᲆ ваs ника'кожDе же.

³

Nevertheless I will speak to the Lord, and I will reason before him, if he will.

³

н^о а^зъ къ г~ђ мое^мђ воZг~лю, ѓ^бличю же преD ни'мъ, а^ще хо'щеT”

⁴

But ye are all bad physicians, and healers of diseases.

⁴

Вы^ же е^сте вра'чеве неправди'ви, и^ цᲇли'теле ꙁлы'хъ,

⁵

But would that ye were silent, and it would be wisdom to you in the end.

⁵

бђ'ди же вамъ молъча'ти, и^ събђ'дется вамъ въ премђ'дрость”

⁶

But hear ye the reasoning of my mouth, and attend to the judgment of my lips.

⁶

Слы'шите ѓ^бличе'нїе ё%стъ мои^хъ, сђдђ же ё^стнђ моею вънми'те”

⁷

Do ye not speak before the Lord, and utter deceit before him?

⁷

Кое` ё^бо преD бм~ъ ли` гл~ите, и^ преD ниM вњща'ете лђка'во.

⁸

Or will ye draw back? nay, do ye yourselves be judges.

⁸

и^ли сђмните'ся, в^ы са'ми сђдїя бђдете,

⁹

For it were well if he would thoroughly search you: for though doing all things in your power ye should attach yourselves to him,

⁹

добро б^о а%ще и^слњдиT ваs. а^ще б^о все` творя'щеи прело'житеся еM, ничто'же мнњи ѓ^бличи'те в^ы,

¹⁰

he will not reprove you at all the less: but if moreover ye should secretly respect persons,

¹⁰

а^щеy и^ та'и лицемъ съё^диви'теся. кое` ё^бо,

¹¹

shall not his whirlpool sweep you round, and terror from him fall upon you?

¹¹

не движенїе л^и е^го ё^стра'шиT ва'съ самњхъ” Бо'язнь же эT него нападетъ на' вы,

¹²

And your glorying shall prove in the end to you like ashes, and your body like a body of clay.

¹²

эTи'дет# же велича'нїе ва'ше ра'вно пепелђ, тњло же бер#нено.

¹³

Be silent, that I may speak, and cease from mine anger,

¹³

ё^млъчи'те да и^спо'лнюся и^ почїю эT гнњ'ва,

¹⁴

while I may take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.

¹⁴

прїимᲆ плоти своя' зђбы, и^ дш~ђ же мою положђ въ рђ'цњ”

¹⁵

Though the Mighty One should lay hand upon me, forasmuch as he has begun, verily I will speak, and plead before him.

¹⁵

А$ще м^я и%метᲆ си'лныи понеже и^ нача, а^ще же гл~ю и^ ѓ^бличю преD ниM,

¹⁶

And this shall turn to me for salvation; for fraud shall have no entrance before him.

¹⁶

и^ с^е ми ся съблюдетъ на сп~се'нїе, не внидеT б^о преD ниM лесть”

¹⁷

Hear, hear ye my words, for I will declare in your hearing.

¹⁷

Послђша'ите гл~ъ мои^хъ, въꙁвњщђ б^о ва'мᲆ слы'шащеM.

¹⁸

Behold, I am near my judgment: I know that I shall appear evidently just.

¹⁸

с^е а^зъ бли'ꙁь е^смь сђ'да мое^го, вњдњ аZ ја%ко пра'веденъ ја%влю'ся”

¹⁹

For who is he that shall plead with me, that I should now be silent, and expire?

¹⁹

Кт^о бо` е^сть ѓ^би'денъ мно'ю, ја%ко нн~њ ё^ молчю і^ и^щеꙁнђ.

²⁰

But grant me two things: then I will not hide myself from thy face.

²⁰

дво'е же м^и сътвориши, тогда эT лица` твое^го не съкры'юся.

²¹

Withhold thine hand from me: and let not thy fear terrify me.

²¹

и^ рђкђ эT мене` ё^да'ли, стра'х же тво'и да не ё^жасаеT м^я”

²²

Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: or thou shalt speak, and I will give thee an answer.

²²

Посе'м же въꙁовеши, а%з же т^я ё^слы'шђ. и^ли воз#гл~еши, аZ же т^и даM эTвᲇтъ.

²³

How many are my sins and my transgressions? teach me what they are.

²³

коли'ки сђть грњхи` мои` и^ беꙁаконїя моя`, наё^чи мя кои` сђть”

²⁴

Wherefore hidest thou thyself from me, and deemest me thine enemy?

²⁴

Почто` та'иши эT мене`, мни'ши же м^я проᲄи'вна сђща тебᲇ.

²⁵

Wilt thou be startled at me, as at a leaf shaken by the wind? or wilt thou set thyself against me as against grass borne upon the breeze?

²⁵

или ја^ко ли'стъ дви'жемъ вњтромъ бои'шися, и^ли ја%ко вњтвїю носи'мђ вњтромъ противля'еши ми ся”

²⁶

For thou hast written evil things against me, and thou hast compassed me with the sins of my youth.

²⁶

ЈА/ко писа'лъ е^си на' мя ѕл^о, ѓ^бложиl же м^и е^си ю%ностьныи` грњхи,

²⁷

And thou hast placed my foot in the stocks; and thou hast watched all my works, and hast penetrated to my heels.

²⁷

положиl же м^и е^си но'гђ на въꙁбра'ненїе, съхрани'лъ же м^и е^си дњ'ла вс^я, в коренїя же но'гђ мое'ю прїиде.

²⁸

I am as that which waxes old like a bottle, or like a moth-eaten garment.

²⁸

и^же ѓ^беTша'етъ ра'вно мњхђ, и^ли ја^ко ри'за мо'льми и^ꙁъја^де'на”
