¹

For a mortal born of a woman is short-lived, and full of wrath.

¹

Человёкъ бо рождeнъ t жены2 малолётенъ и3 и3сп0лнь гнёва:

²

Or he falls like a flower that has bloomed; and he departs like a shadow, and cannot continue.

²

и3ли2 ћкоже цвётъ процвэтhй tпадE, tбэжe же ћкw сёнь, и3 не постои1тъ.

³

Hast thou not taken account even of him, and caused him to enter into judgment before thee?

³

Не и3 њ сeмъ ли сл0во сотвори1лъ є3си2, и3 семY сотвори1лъ є3си2 вни1ти на сyдъ пред8 тS;

⁴

For who shall be pure from uncleanness? not even one;

⁴

Кт0 бо чи1стъ бyдетъ t сквeрны; никт0же,

⁵

if even his life should be but one day upon the earth: and his months are numbered by him: thou hast appointed him for a time, and he shall by no means exceed it.

⁵

ѓще и3 є3ди1нъ дeнь житіE є3гw2 на земли2: и3зочтeни же мцcы є3гw2 t тебє2, на врeмz положи1лъ є3си2, и3 не престyпитъ.

⁶

Depart from him, that he may be quiet, and take pleasure in his life, though as a hireling.

⁶

Tступи2 t негw2, да ўм0лкнетъ и3 и3зберeтъ житіE ћкоже наeмникъ.

⁷

For there is hope for a tree, even if it should be cut down, that it shall blossom again, and its branch shall not fail.

⁷

Е$сть бо дрeву надeжда: ѓще бо посёчено бyдетъ, пaки процвэтeтъ, и3 лёторасль є3гw2 не њскудёетъ:

⁸

For though its root should grow old in the earth, and its stem die in the rock;

⁸

ѓще бо состарёетсz въ земли2 к0рень є3гw2, на кaмени же скончaетсz стебло2 є3гw2,

⁹

it will blossom from the scent of water, and will produce a crop, as one newly planted.

⁹

t вони2 воды2 процвэтeтъ, сотвори1тъ же жaтву, ћкоже новосаждeнное.

¹⁰

But a man that has died is utterly gone; and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more.

¹⁰

Мyжъ же ўмeрый tи1де, пaдъ же человёкъ, ктомY нёсть.

¹¹

For the sea wastes in length of time, and a river fails and is dried up.

¹¹

Врeменемъ бо њскудэвaетъ м0ре, рэкa же њпустёвши и4зсше:

¹²

And man that has lain down in death shall certainly not rise again till the heaven be dissolved, and they shall not awake from their sleep.

¹²

человёкъ же ўснyвъ не востaнетъ, д0ндеже не бyдетъ нeбо сошвeно, и3 не возбудsтсz t снA своегw2.

¹³

For oh that thou hadst kept me in the grave, and hadst hidden me until thy wrath should cease, and thou shouldest set me a time in which thou wouldest remember me!

¹³

Ќбw, q, дабы2 во ѓдэ мS сохрани1лъ є3си2, скрhлъ же мs бы є3си2, д0ндеже престaнетъ гнёвъ тв0й, и3 вчини1ши ми2 врeмz, въ нeже пaмzть сотвори1ши ми2.

¹⁴

For if a man should die, shall he live again, having accomplished the days of his life? I will wait till I exist again?

¹⁴

Ѓще бо ќмретъ человёкъ, жи1въ бyдетъ: скончaвъ дни6 житіS своегw2, потерплю2, д0ндеже пaки бyду.

¹⁵

Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: but do not thou reject the work of thine hands.

¹⁵

Посeмъ воззовeши, ѓзъ же послyшаю тS: дёлъ же рукY твоє1ю не tвращaйсz:

¹⁶

But thou hast numbered my devices: and not one of my sins shall escape thee?

¹⁶

и3зчи1слилъ же є3си2 начин†ніz мо‰, и3 ничт0же тS мимои1детъ t грBхъ мои1хъ:

¹⁷

And thou hast sealed up my transgressions in a bag, and marked if I have been guilty of any transgression unawares.

¹⁷

запечатлёлъ же ми2 є3си2 беззакHніz въ мэшцЁ, назнaменалъ же є3си2, ѓще что2 нев0лею преступи1хъ.

¹⁸

And verily a mountain falling will utterly be destroyed, and a rock shall be worn out of its place.

¹⁸

Nбaче и3 горA пaдающи распадeтсz, и3 кaмень њбетшaетъ t мёста своегw2:

¹⁹

The waters wear the stones, and waters falling headlong overflow a heap of the earth: and thou destroyest the hope of man.

¹⁹

кaменіе њглaдиша в0ды, и3 потопи1ша в0ды взнaкъ х0лмы земны6z, и3 њжидaніе человёческо погуби1лъ є3си2.

²⁰

Thou drivest him to an end, and he is gone: thou settest thy face against him, and sendest him away;

²⁰

Tри1нулъ є3си2 є3го2 до концA, и3 tи1де: и3змэни1лъ є3си2 є3мY лицE и3 и3спусти1лъ є3си2.

²¹

and though his children be multiplied, he knows it not; and if they be few, he is not aware.

²¹

МнHгимъ же бhвшымъ сынHмъ є3гw2, не вёсть: ѓще же и3 мaлw и4хъ бyдетъ, не знaетъ:

²²

But his flesh is in pain, and his soul mourns.

²²

но плHти є3гw2 болёша, душa же є3гw2 њ себЁ сётова.
