¹

And Elius continued, and said,

¹

Ѿвѣща́въ же є҆лїꙋ́съ, речѐ:

²

Hear me, ye wise men; hearken, ye that have knowledge.

²

послꙋ́шайте менѐ, премꙋ́дрїи: свѣ́дꙋщїи, внꙋши́те (до́брое),

³

For the ear tries words, and the mouth tastes meat.

³

ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆́хо словеса̀ и҆скꙋша́етъ, горта́нь же вкꙋша́етъ бра́шна.

⁴

Let us choose judgment to ourselves: let us know among ourselves what is right.

⁴

Сꙋ́дъ и҆збере́мъ себѣ̀, оу҆разꙋмѣ́емъ посредѣ̀ себє̀, что̀ лꙋ́чшее.

⁵

For Job has said, I am righteous: the Lord has removed my judgment.

⁵

Ꙗ҆́кѡ речѐ і҆́ѡвъ: првⷣнъ є҆́смь, гдⷭ҇ь ѿѧ́тъ мѝ сꙋ́дъ,

⁶

And he has erred in my judgment: my wound is severe without unrighteousness of mine.

⁶

солга́ же сꙋдꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀: наси́льна стрѣла̀ моѧ̀ без̾ непра́вды.

⁷

What man is as Job, drinking scorning like water?

⁷

Кто̀ мꙋ́жъ, ꙗ҆́коже і҆́ѡвъ, пїѧ́й порꙋга́нїе, ꙗ҆́коже во́дꙋ,

⁸

saying, I have not sinned, nor committed ungodliness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity, to go with the ungodly.

⁸

не согрѣша́ѧ, нижѐ нече́ствовавъ, нижѐ приѡбщи́всѧ къ творѧ́щымъ беззакѡ́нїѧ, є҆́же ходи́ти съ нечести́выми;

⁹

For thou shouldest not say, There shall be no visitation of a man, whereas there is a visitation on him from the Lord.

⁹

Не рцы́ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть посѣще́нїѧ мꙋ́жеви, и҆ посѣще́нїѧ є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ гдⷭ҇а.

¹⁰

Wherefore hear me, ye that are wise in heart: far be it from me to sin before the Lord, and to pervert righteousness before the Almighty.

¹⁰

Тѣ́мже, разꙋми́вїи се́рдцемъ, послꙋ́шайте менѐ, не бꙋ́ди мѝ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ нече́ствовати и҆ пред̾ вседержи́телемъ возмꙋти́ти пра́вдꙋ:

¹¹

Yea, he renders to a man accordingly as each of them does, and in a man's path he will find him.

¹¹

но воздае́тъ человѣ́кови, ꙗ҆́коже твори́тъ кі́йждо и҆́хъ, и҆ на стезѝ мꙋ́жестѣй ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ и҆̀.

¹²

And thinkest thou that the Lord will do wrong, or will the Almighty who made the earth wrest judgment?

¹²

Мни́ши же гдⷭ҇а нелѣ̑паѧ сотвори́ти, и҆лѝ вседержи́тель смѧте́тъ сꙋ́дъ, и҆́же сотворѝ зе́млю;

¹³

And who is he that made the whole world under heaven, and all things therein?

¹³

Кто́ же є҆́сть творѧ́й поднебе́снꙋю и҆ ꙗ҆̀же въ не́й всѧ́чєскаѧ;

¹⁴

For if he would confine, and restrain his spirit with himself;

¹⁴

А҆́ще бо восхо́щетъ запрети́ти и҆ дꙋ́хъ оу҆ себє̀ оу҆держа́ти,

¹⁵

all flesh would die together, and every mortal would return to the earth, whence also he was formed.

¹⁵

оу҆́мретъ всѧ́ка пло́ть вкꙋ́пѣ, всѧ́къ же человѣ́къ въ зе́млю по́йдетъ, ѿню́дꙋже и҆ со́зданъ бы́сть.

¹⁶

Take heed lest he rebuke thee: hear this, hearken to the voice of words.

¹⁶

А҆́ще же не оу҆вѣща́ешисѧ, послꙋ́шай си́хъ, внꙋшѝ гла́съ глагѡ́лъ.

¹⁷

Behold then the one that hates iniquities, and that destroys the wicked, who is for ever just.

¹⁷

Ви́ждь ты̀ ненави́дѧщаго беззакѡ́ннаѧ и҆ гꙋбѧ́щаго лꙋка̑выѧ, сꙋ́ща, вѣ́чна, првⷣна.

¹⁸

He is ungodly that says to a king, Thou art a transgressor, that says to princes, O most ungodly one.

¹⁸

Нечести́въ є҆́сть глаго́лѧй царе́ви, зако́нъ престꙋпа́еши, нечести́вѣйше, кнѧзє́мъ:

¹⁹

Such a one as would not reverence the face of an honourable man, neither knows how to give honour to the great, so as that their persons should be respected.

¹⁹

и҆́же не постыдѣ́сѧ лица̀ честна́гѡ, нижѐ вѣ́сть че́сть возложи́ти си̑льнымъ, оу҆диви́тисѧ ли́цамъ и҆́хъ.

²⁰

But it shall turn out vanity to them, to cry and beseech a man; for they dealt unlawfully, the poor being turned aside from their right.

²⁰

Тще́ же и҆̀мъ сбꙋ́детсѧ, є҆́же возопи́ти и҆ моли́ти мꙋ́жа: занѐ оу҆потреби́ша беззако́ннѡ, безче́стѧще немощны́хъ.

²¹

For he surveys the works of men, and nothing of what they do has escaped him.

²¹

То́й бо зри́тель є҆́сть дѣ́лъ человѣ́ческихъ, оу҆таи́сѧ же ѿ негѡ̀ ничто́же ѿ тѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же творѧ́тъ:

²²

Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves.

²²

нижѐ бꙋ́детъ мѣ́сто оу҆кры́тисѧ творѧ́щымъ беззакѡ́ннаѧ:

²³

For he will not lay upon a man more than right.

²³

ꙗ҆́кѡ не на мꙋ́жа положи́тъ є҆щѐ.

²⁴

For the Lord looks down upon all men, who comprehends unsearchable things, glorious also and excellent things without number.

²⁴

Гдⷭ҇ь бо всѣ́хъ ви́дитъ, постиза́ѧй неизслѣ̑днаѧ, сла̑внаѧ же и҆ и҆зрѧ̑днаѧ, и҆̀мже нѣ́сть числа̀,

²⁵

Who discovers their works, and will bring night about upon them, and they shall be brought low.

²⁵

свѣ́дый и҆́хъ дѣла̀, и҆ ѡ҆брати́тъ но́щь, и҆ смирѧ́тсѧ.

²⁶

And he quite destroys the ungodly, for they are seen before him.

²⁶

Оу҆гаси́ же нечести̑выѧ, ви́дими же пред̾ ни́мъ:

²⁷

Because they turned aside from the law of God, and did not regard his ordinances,

²⁷

ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆клони́шасѧ ѿ зако́на бж҃їѧ, ѡ҆правда́нїй же є҆гѡ̀ не позна́ша,

²⁸

so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor.

²⁸

є҆́же вознестѝ къ немꙋ̀ во́пль ни́щихъ, и҆ во́пль оу҆бо́гихъ оу҆слы́шитъ.

²⁹

And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? and he will hide his face, and who shall see him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man also:

²⁹

И҆ то́й тишинꙋ̀ пода́стъ, и҆ кто̀ ѡ҆сꙋ́дитъ; и҆ сокры́етъ лицѐ, и҆ кто̀ оу҆́зритъ є҆го̀; и҆ на ꙗ҆зы́къ, и҆ на человѣ́ка вкꙋ́пѣ,

³⁰

causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people.

³⁰

и҆́же поставлѧ́етъ царе́мъ человѣ́ка лицемѣ́ра за стропти́вость люді́й.

³¹

For there is one that says to the Mighty One, I have received blessings; I will not take a pledge:

³¹

Ꙗ҆́кѡ къ крѣ́пкомꙋ глаго́лѧй: взѧ́хъ, не ѿимꙋ̀ вмѣ́стѡ зало́га:

³²

I will see apart from myself: do thou shew me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do so any more.

³²

без̾ менє̀ оу҆зрю̀, ты̀ покажи́ ми: а҆́ще непра́вдꙋ содѣ́лахъ, не и҆́мамъ приложи́ти.

³³

Will he take vengeance for it on thee, whereas thou wilt put it far from thee? for thou shalt choose, and not I; and what thou knowest, speak thou.

³³

Є҆да̀ ѿ тебє̀ и҆стѧ́жетъ ю҆̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ ѿри́неши, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ и҆збере́ши, а҆ не а҆́зъ ли; и҆ что̀ разꙋмѣ́еши; глаго́ли.

³⁴

Because the wise in heart shall say this, and a wise man listens to my word.

³⁴

Тѣ́мже смы́сленнїи се́рдцемъ рекꙋ́тъ сїѧ̑, мꙋ́жъ же премꙋ́дръ оу҆слы́ша глаго́лъ мо́й.

³⁵

But Job has not spoken with understanding, his words are not uttered with knowledge.

³⁵

І҆́ѡвъ же не въ ра́зꙋмѣ глаго́лаше, словеса́ же є҆гѡ̀ не въ хи́трости.

³⁶

Howbeit do thou learn, Job: no longer make answer as the foolish:

³⁶

Ѻ҆ба́че навы́кни, і҆́ѡве, не да́ждь є҆щѐ ѿвѣ́та, ꙗ҆́коже немꙋ́дрїи:

³⁷

that we add not to our sins: for iniquity will be reckoned against us, if we speak many words before the Lord.

³⁷

да не приложи́мъ на грѣхѝ на́шѧ: беззако́нїе же на на́съ вмѣни́тсѧ, мнѡ́гаѧ глаго́лющихъ словеса̀ на гдⷭ҇а.
