¹

And Job continued and said in his parable,

¹

Е#щe же приложи1въ јwвъ, речE въ при1тчахъ:

²

Oh that I were as in months past, wherein God preserved me!

²

кт0 мz ўстр0итъ по мцcамъ прeжднихъ днjй, въ ни1хже мS бGъ хранsше,

³

As when his lamp shone over my head; when by his light I walked through darkness.

³

ћкоже є3гдA свэтsшесz свэти1лникъ є3гw2 над8 глав0ю моeю, є3гдA свётомъ є3гw2 хождaхъ во тмЁ,

⁴

As when I steadfastly pursued my ways, when God took care of my house.

⁴

є3гдA бёхъ тsжекъ въ путeхъ, є3гдA бGъ посэщeніе творsше д0му моемY,

⁵

When I was very fruitful, and my children were about me;

⁵

є3гдA бёхъ богaтъ ѕэлw2, w4крестъ же менє2 раби2,

⁶

when my ways were moistened with butter, and the mountains flowed for me with milk.

⁶

є3гдA њбливaхусz путіE мои2 мaсломъ крaвіимъ, г0ры же мо‰ њбливaхусz млек0мъ,

⁷

When I went forth early in the city, and the seat was placed for me in the streets.

⁷

є3гдA и3схождaхъ и3з8yтра во грaдъ, на ст0гнахъ же поставлsшесz ми2 прест0лъ;

⁸

The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and all the old men stood up.

⁸

Ви1дzще мS ю4нwши скрывaшасz, старBйшины же вси2 воставaша:

⁹

And the great men ceased speaking, and laid their finger on their mouth.

⁹

вельмHжи же преставaху глаг0лати, пeрстъ возл0жше на ўстA сво‰.

¹⁰

And they that heard me blessed me, and their tongue clave to their throat.

¹⁰

Слhшавшіи же блажи1ша мS, и3 љзhкъ и4хъ прильпE гортaни и4хъ:

¹¹

For the ear heard, and blessed me; and the eye saw me, and turned aside.

¹¹

ћкw ќхо слhша и3 ўблажи1 мz, џко же ви1дэвъ мS ўклони1сz.

¹²

For I saved the poor out of the hand of the oppressor, and helped the fatherless who had no helper.

¹²

Спас0хъ бо ўб0гаго t руки2 си1льнагw, и3 сиротЁ, є3мyже не бЁ пом0щника, помог0хъ.

¹³

Let the blessing of the perishing one come upon me; yea, the mouth of the widow has blessed me.

¹³

Благословeніе погибaющагw на мS да пріи1детъ, ўстa же вдwви1ча благослови1ша мS.

¹⁴

Also I put on righteousness, and clothed myself with judgment like a mantle.

¹⁴

Въ прaвду же њблачaхсz, њдэвaхсz же въ сyдъ ћкw въ ри1зу.

¹⁵

I was the eye of the blind, and the foot of the lame.

¹⁵

Џко бёхъ слэпы6мъ, ногa же хромhмъ:

¹⁶

I was the father of the helpless; and I searched out the cause which I knew not.

¹⁶

ѓзъ бhхъ nтeцъ немwщнhмъ, рaспрю же, є3sже не вёдzхъ, и3зслёдихъ:

¹⁷

And I broke the jaw-teeth of the unrighteous; I plucked the spoil out of the midst of their teeth.

¹⁷

сотр0хъ же членHвныz непрaведныхъ, t средh же зубHвъ и4хъ граблeніе и3з8sхъ.

¹⁸

And I said, My age shall continue as the stem of a palm-tree; I shall live a long while.

¹⁸

Рёхъ же: в0зрастъ м0й состарёетсz ћкоже стебло2 фjніково, мнHга лBта поживY.

¹⁹

My root was spread out by the water, and the dew would lodge on my crop.

¹⁹

К0рень развeрзесz при водЁ, и3 росA пребyдетъ на жaтвэ моeй.

²⁰

My glory was fresh in me, and my bow prospered in his hand.

²⁰

Слaва моS н0ва со мн0ю, и3 лyкъ м0й въ руцЁ моeй п0йдетъ.

²¹

Men heard me, and gave heed, and they were silent at my counsel.

²¹

(СтарBйшины) слhшавшіи мS внимaху, молчaху же њ моeмъ совётэ.

²²

At my word they spoke not again, and they were very glad whenever I spoke to them.

²²

Къ моемY глаг0лу не прилагaху, рaдовахусz же, є3гдA къ ни6мъ глаг0лахъ:

²³

As the thirsty earth expecting the rain, so they waited for my speech.

²³

ћкоже землS жaждущаz њжидaетъ дождS, тaкw сjи моегw2 глаг0ланіz.

²⁴

Were I to laugh on them, they would not believe it; and the light of my face has not failed.

²⁴

Ѓще возсмэю1сz къ ни6мъ, не вёриша: и3 свётъ лицA моегw2 не tпадaше.

²⁵

I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the midst of warriors, as one comforting mourners.

²⁵

И#збрaхъ пyть и4хъ, и3 сэдёхъ кнsзь, и3 вселsхсz ћкоже цaрь посредЁ хрaбрыхъ, ѓки ўтэшazй печaльныхъ.
