¹

And after Elius had ceased from speaking, the Lord spoke to Job through the whirlwind and clouds, saying,

¹

Преста́вшꙋ же є҆лїꙋ́сꙋ ѿ бесѣ́ды, речѐ гдⷭ҇ьі҆́ѡвꙋ сквозѣ̀ бꙋ́рю и҆ ѡ҆́блаки:

²

Who is this that hides counsel from me, and confines words in his heart, and thinks to conceal them from me?

²

кто̀ се́й скрыва́ѧй ѿ менє̀ совѣ́тъ, содержа́й же глаго́лы въ се́рдцы, мене́ же ли мни́тсѧ оу҆таи́ти;

³

Gird thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me.

³

Препоѧ́ши ꙗ҆́кѡ мꙋ́жъ чрє́сла твоѧ̑: вопрошꙋ́ же тѧ̀, ты́ же мѝ ѿвѣща́й.

⁴

Where wast thou when I founded the earth? tell me now, if thou hast knowledge,

⁴

Гдѣ̀ бы́лъ є҆сѝ, є҆гда̀ ѡ҆снова́хъ зе́млю; возвѣсти́ ми, а҆́ще вѣ́си ра́зꙋмъ.

⁵

who set the measures of it, if thou knowest? or who stretched a line upon it?

⁵

Кто̀ положѝ мѣ̑ры є҆ѧ̀, а҆́ще вѣ́си; и҆лѝ кто̀ наведы́й ве́рвь на ню̀;

⁶

On what are its rings fastened? and who is he that laid the corner-stone upon it?

⁶

На че́мже столпѝ є҆ѧ̀ оу҆твержде́ни сꙋ́ть; кто́же є҆́сть положи́вый ка́мень краеꙋго́лный на не́й;

⁷

When the stars were made, all my angels praised me with a loud voice.

⁷

Є҆гда̀ (сотворє́ны) бы́ша ѕвѣ́зды, восхвали́ша мѧ̀ гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ всѝ а҆́гг҃ли моѝ.

⁸

And I shut up the sea with gates, when it rushed out, coming forth out of its mother's womb.

⁸

Загради́хъ же мо́ре враты̀, є҆гда̀ и҆злива́шесѧ и҆з̾ чре́ва ма́тере своеѧ̀ и҆сходѧ́щее:

⁹

And I made a cloud its clothing, and swathed it in mist.

⁹

положи́хъ же є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆́блакъ во ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїе, мгло́ю же пови́хъ є҆̀:

¹⁰

And I set bounds to it, surrounding it with bars and gates.

¹⁰

и҆ положи́хъ є҆мꙋ̀ предѣ́лы, ѡ҆бложи́въ затво́ры и҆ врата̀:

¹¹

And I said to it, Hitherto shalt thou come, but thou shalt not go beyond, but thy waves shall be confined within thee.

¹¹

рѣ́хъ же є҆мꙋ̀: до сегѡ̀ до́йдеши и҆ не пре́йдеши, но въ тебѣ̀ сокрꙋша́тсѧ во́лны твоѧ̑.

¹²

Or did I order the morning light in thy time; and did the morning star then first see his appointed place;

¹²

И҆лѝ при тебѣ̀ соста́вихъ свѣ́тъ оу҆́треннїй, денни́ца же вѣ́сть чи́нъ сво́й,

¹³

to lay hold of the extremities of the earth, to cast out the ungodly out of it?

¹³

ꙗ҆́тисѧ кри́лъ землѝ, ѿтрѧстѝ нечести̑выѧ ѿ неѧ̀;

¹⁴

Or didst thou take clay of the ground, and form a living creature, and set it with the power of speech upon the earth?

¹⁴

И҆лѝ ты̀, бре́нїе взе́мъ, ѿ землѝ созда́лъ є҆сѝ живо́тно, и҆ глаго́ливаго сего̀ посади́лъ є҆сѝ на землѝ;

¹⁵

And hast thou removed light from the ungodly, and crushed the arm of the proud?

¹⁵

Ѿѧ́лъ же ли є҆сѝ ѿ нечести́выхъ свѣ́тъ, мы́шцꙋ же го́рдыхъ сокрꙋши́лъ ли є҆сѝ;

¹⁶

Or hast thou gone to the source of the sea, and walked in the tracks of the deep?

¹⁶

Прише́лъ же ли є҆сѝ на и҆сто́чники мо́рѧ, во слѣда́хъ же бе́здны ходи́лъ ли є҆сѝ;

¹⁷

And do the gates of death open to thee for fear; and did the porters of hell quake when they saw thee?

¹⁷

Ѿверза́ютсѧ же ли тебѣ̀ стра́хомъ врата̀ смє́ртнаѧ, вра́тницы же а҆́дѡвы ви́дѣвше тѧ̀ оу҆боѧ́шасѧ ли;

¹⁸

And hast thou been instructed in the breadth of the whole earth under heaven? tell me now, what is the extent of it?

¹⁸

Навы́клъ же ли є҆сѝ широты̀ поднебе́сныѧ; Повѣ́ждь оу҆̀бо мѝ, коли́ка є҆́сть;

¹⁹

And in what kind of a land does the light dwell? and of what kind is the place of darkness?

¹⁹

Въ ко́ей же землѝ вселѧ́етсѧ свѣ́тъ, тмѣ́ же ко́е є҆́сть мѣ́сто;

²⁰

If thou couldest bring me to their utmost boundaries, and if also thou knowest their paths;

²⁰

А҆́ще оу҆̀бо введе́ши мѧ̀ въ предѣ́лы и҆́хъ, а҆́ще же ли и҆ вѣ́си стєзѝ и҆́хъ;

²¹

I know then that thou wert born at that time, and the number of thy years is great.

²¹

Вѣ́мъ оу҆̀бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ тогда̀ рожде́нъ є҆сѝ, число́ же лѣ́тъ твои́хъ мно́го.

²²

But hast thou gone to the treasures of snow? and hast thou seen the treasures of hail?

²²

Прише́лъ же ли є҆сѝ въ сокрѡ́вища снѣ̑жнаѧ, и҆ сокрѡ́вища гра̑днаѧ ви́дѣлъ ли є҆сѝ;

²³

And is there a store of them, for thee against the time of thine enemies, for the day of wars and battle?

²³

подлежа́тъ же ли тебѣ̀ въ ча́съ врагѡ́въ, въ де́нь бра́ней и҆ ра́ти;

²⁴

And whence proceeds the frost? or whence is the south wind dispersed over the whole world under heaven?

²⁴

Ѿкꙋ́дꙋ же и҆схо́дитъ сла́на, и҆лѝ разсыпа́етсѧ ю҆́гъ на поднебе́снꙋю;

²⁵

And who prepared a course for the violent rain, and a way for the thunders;

²⁵

Кто́ же оу҆гото́ва дождю̀ ве́лїю пролїѧ́нїе, и҆ пꙋ́ть мо́лнїи и҆ гро́ма,

²⁶

to rain upon the land where there is no man, the wilderness, where there is not a man in it; so as to feed the untrodden and uninhabited land,

²⁶

ѡ҆дожди́ти на зе́млю, на не́йже нѣ́сть мꙋ́жа, пꙋсты́ню, и҆дѣ́же человѣ́ка нѣ́сть въ не́й,

²⁷

and cause it to send forth a crop of green herbs?

²⁷

насы́тити непроходи́мꙋ и҆ ненаселе́нꙋ, и҆ прозѧ́бнꙋти и҆схо́дъ ѕла́ка;

²⁸

Who is the rain's father? and who has generated the drops of dew?

²⁸

Кто́ є҆сть дождю̀ ѻ҆те́цъ; кто́ же є҆́сть роди́вый ка̑пли рѡ́сныѧ;

²⁹

And out of whose womb comes the ice? and who has produced the frost in the sky,

²⁹

И҆з̾ чїегѡ̀ чре́ва и҆схо́дитъ ле́дъ; Сла́нꙋ же на небесѝ кто̀ роди́лъ,

³⁰

which descends like flowing water? who has terrified the face of the ungodly?

³⁰

ꙗ҆́же нисхо́дитъ ꙗ҆́кѡ вода̀ текꙋ́щаѧ; Лицѐ нечести́ва кто̀ оу҆страшѝ;

³¹

And dost thou understand the band of Pleias, and hast thou opened the barrier of Orion?

³¹

Разꙋмѣ́лъ же ли є҆сѝ соꙋ́зъ плїа́дъ, и҆ ѡ҆гражде́нїе ѡ҆рїѡ́ново ѿве́рзлъ ли є҆сѝ;

³²

Or wilt thou reveal Mazuroth in his season, and the evening star with his rays? Wilt thou guide them?

³²

И҆лѝ ѿве́рзеши зна́мєнїѧ небє́снаѧ во вре́мѧ своѐ; и҆ вече́рнюю ѕвѣздꙋ̀ за власы̀ є҆ѧ̀ привлече́ши ли;

³³

And knowest thou the changes of heaven, or the events which take place together under heaven?

³³

Вѣ́си же ли премѣнє́нїѧ небє́снаѧ, и҆лѝ быва̑ющаѧ вкꙋ́пѣ под̾ небесе́мъ;

³⁴

And wilt thou call a cloud with thy voice, and will it obey thee with a violent shower of much rain?

³⁴

Призове́ши же ли ѡ҆́блакъ гла́сомъ; и҆ тре́петомъ воды̀ вели́кїѧ послꙋ́шаетъ ли тѧ̀;

³⁵

And wilt thou send lightnings, and they shall go? and shall they say to thee, What is thy pleasure?

³⁵

По́слеши же ли мѡ́лнїи, и҆ по́йдꙋтъ; рекꙋ́тъ же ли тѝ: что́ є҆сть;

³⁶

And who has given to women skill in weaving, or knowledge of embroidery?

³⁶

Кто́ же да́лъ є҆́сть жена́мъ тка́нїѧ мꙋ́дрость, и҆лѝ и҆спещре́нїѧ хи́трость;

³⁷

And who is he that numbers the clouds in wisdom, and has bowed the heaven down to the earth?

³⁷

Кто́ же и҆зчислѧ́ѧй ѡ҆́блаки премꙋ́дростїю, не́бо же на зе́млю преклони́лъ,

³⁸

For it is spread out as dusty earth, and I have cemented it as one hewn stone to another.

³⁸

разлїѧ́сѧ же ꙗ҆́кѡ землѧ̀ пра́хъ, спаѧ́хъ же є҆̀, а҆́ки ка́менемъ, на четы́ри оу҆́глы;

³⁹

And wilt thou hunt a prey for the lions? and satisfy the desires of the serpents?

³⁹

Оу҆лови́ши же ли льва́мъ ꙗ҆́дь, и҆ дꙋ́шы ѕмїє́въ насы́тиши ли;

⁴⁰

For they fear in their lairs, and lying in wait couch in the woods.

⁴⁰

оу҆боѧ́шасѧ бо на ло́жахъ свои́хъ и҆ сѣдѧ́тъ въ де́брехъ оу҆ловлѧ́юще.

⁴¹

And who has prepared food for the raven? for its young ones wander and cry to the Lord, in search of food.

⁴¹

Кто́ же вра́нꙋ оу҆гото́ва пи́щꙋ; пти̑чищи бо є҆гѡ̀ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ воззва́ша, ѡ҆блета́юще бра̑шна и҆́щꙋще.
