¹

And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them.

¹

И҆ оу҆молча̀ і҆́ѡвъ словесы̀. Оу҆молча́ша же и҆ трїѐ дрꙋ́зїе є҆гѡ̀ ктомꙋ̀ прерѣкова́ти і҆́ѡвꙋ, бѣ̀ бо і҆́ѡвъ првⷣнъ пред̾ ни́ми.

²

Then Elius the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord.

²

Разгнѣ́васѧ же є҆лїꙋ́съ сы́нъ варахїи́левъ вꙋзі́тѧнинъ, ѿ оу҆́жичества а҆ра́мска а҆ѵсїтїді́йскїѧ страны̀, разгнѣ́васѧ же на і҆́ѡва ѕѣлѡ̀, зане́же наречѐ себѐ првⷣна пред̾ бг҃омъ,

³

And he was also very angry with his three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man.

³

и҆ на трїе́хъ же дрꙋгѡ́въ разгнѣ́васѧ ѕѣлѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не возмого́ша ѿвѣща́ти проти́вꙋ і҆́ѡвꙋ и҆ сꙋди́ша є҆го̀ бы́ти нечести́ва.

⁴

But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.

⁴

Є҆лїꙋ́съ же терпѧ́ше да́ти ѿвѣ́тъ і҆́ѡвꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ старѣ́йшїи є҆гѡ̀ сꙋ́ть де́ньми (дрꙋ́зїе є҆гѡ̀).

⁵

And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath.

⁵

И҆ ви́дѣ є҆лїꙋ́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть ѿвѣ́та во оу҆стѣ́хъ трїе́хъ мꙋже́й, и҆ воз̾ѧри́сѧ гнѣ́вомъ свои́мъ.

⁶

And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and ye are elder; wherefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.

⁶

Ѿвѣща́въ же є҆лїꙋ́съ сы́нъ варахїи́левъ вꙋзі́тѧнинъ, речѐ: ю҆нѣ́йшїй оу҆́бѡ є҆́смь лѣ́ты, вы́ же є҆стѐ старѣ́йшїи: тѣ́мже молча́хъ, оу҆боѧ́всѧ возвѣсти́ти ва́мъ хи́трость мою̀:

⁷

And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years men know wisdom:

⁷

рѣ́хъ же: вре́мѧ є҆́сть глаго́лющее, и҆ во мно́зѣхъ лѣ́тѣхъ вѣ́дѧтъ премꙋ́дрость,

⁸

but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.

⁸

но дꙋ́хъ є҆́сть въ человѣ́цѣхъ, дыха́нїе же вседержи́телево є҆́сть наꙋча́ющее:

⁹

The long-lived are not wise as such; neither do the aged know judgment.

⁹

не многолѣ́тнїи сꙋ́ть премꙋ́дри, нижѐ ста́рїи вѣ́дѧтъ сꙋ́дъ:

¹⁰

Wherefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.

¹⁰

тѣ́мже рѣ́хъ: послꙋ́шайте менѐ, и҆ возвѣщꙋ̀ ва́мъ, ꙗ҆̀же вѣ́мъ, внꙋши́те глаго́лы моѧ̑:

¹¹

Hearken to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until ye shall have tried the matter with words:

¹¹

рекꙋ́ бо ва́мъ послꙋ́шающымъ, до́ндеже и҆спыта́ете словеса̀, и҆ да́же ва́съ оу҆разꙋмѣ́ю,

¹²

and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument,

¹²

и҆ сѐ, не бѣ̀ і҆́ѡва ѡ҆блича́ѧй, ѿвѣща́ѧй проти́внѡ глаго́лѡмъ є҆гѡ̀ ѿ ва́съ:

¹³

lest ye should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.

¹³

да не рече́те: ѡ҆брѣто́хомъ премꙋ́дрость, гдⷭ҇еви приложи́вшесѧ:

¹⁴

And ye have commissioned a man to speak such words.

¹⁴

человѣ́кꙋ же попꙋсти́сте глаго́лати такѡва́ѧ словеса̀:

¹⁵

They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking.

¹⁵

оу҆жаснꙋ́шасѧ, не ѿвѣща́ша ктомꙋ̀, ѡ҆бетша́ша ѿ ни́хъ словеса̀:

¹⁶

I waited, (for I had not spoken,) because they stood still, they answered not.

¹⁶

терпѣ́хъ, не глаго́лахъ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ ста́ша, не ѿвѣща́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ѿвѣща́ю и҆ а҆́зъ ча́сть.

¹⁷

And Elius continued, and said, I will again speak,

¹⁷

Ѿвѣща́ же є҆лїꙋ́съ, глаго́лѧ:

¹⁸

for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.

¹⁸

па́ки возглаго́лю, и҆спо́лненъ бо є҆́смь слове́съ: оу҆бива́етъ бо мѧ̀ дꙋ́хъ чре́ва:

¹⁹

And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine bound up and ready to burst; or as a brazier's labouring bellows.

¹⁹

чре́во же моѐ ꙗ҆́кѡ мѣ́хъ мста̀ врѧ́ща завѧ́занъ, и҆лѝ ꙗ҆́коже мѣ́хъ кова́ческїй расто́ргнꙋтый:

²⁰

I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.

²⁰

возглаго́лю, да почі́ю, ѿве́рзъ оу҆ста̀:

²¹

For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.

²¹

человѣ́ка бо не постыждꙋ́сѧ, но нижѐ бре́ннагѡ посрамлю́сѧ:

²²

For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.

²²

не вѣ́мъ бо чꙋди́тисѧ лицꙋ̀: а҆́ще же нѝ, то̀ и҆ менѐ мо́лїе и҆з̾ѧдѧ́тъ.
