¹

Say if thou knowest the time of the bringing forth of the wild goats of the rock, and if thou hast marked the calving of the hinds:

¹

Ѓще ўразумёлъ є3си2 врeмz рождeніz к0зъ живyщихъ на горaхъ кaменныхъ; ўсмотри1лъ же ли є3си2 болёзнь при рождeніи є3лeней;

²

and if thou hast numbered the full months of their being with young, and if thou hast relieved their pangs:

²

и3зчи1слилъ же ли є3си2 мцcы и4хъ и3сп0лнєны рождeніz и4хъ, бwлёзни же и4хъ разрэши1лъ ли є3си2;

³

and hast reared their young without fear; and wilt thou loosen their pangs?

³

Вскорми1лъ же ли є3си2 дётищы и4хъ внЁ стрaха, бwлёзни же и4хъ tслeши ли;

⁴

Their young will break forth; they will be multiplied with offspring: their young will go forth, and will not return to them.

⁴

и3звeргнутъ ч†да сво‰, ўмн0жатсz въ порождeніи, и3зhдутъ и3 не возвратsтсz къ ни6мъ.

⁵

And who is he that sent forth the wild ass free? and who loosed his bands?

⁵

Кт0 же є4сть пусти1вый nслA ди1віzго своб0дна, ќзы же є3гw2 кто2 разрэши1лъ;

⁶

whereas I made his habitation the wilderness, and the salt land his coverts.

⁶

Положи1хъ же жили1ще є3гw2 пустhню и3 селє1ніz є3гw2 слaность:

⁷

He laughs to scorn the multitude of the city, and hears not the chiding of the tax-gatherer.

⁷

смэsйсz мн0гу нар0ду грaда, стужaніz же дaнническагw не слhшай,

⁸

He will survey the mountains as his pasture, and he seeks after every green thing.

⁸

ўсм0тритъ на горaхъ пaжить себЁ и3 в8слёдъ всsкагw ѕлaка и4щетъ.

⁹

And will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or to lie down at thy manger?

⁹

Пох0щетъ же ли ти2 є3динор0гъ раб0тати, и3ли2 поспaти при ћслехъ твои1хъ;

¹⁰

And wilt thou bind his yoke with thongs, or will he plough furrows for thee in the plain?

¹⁰

привsжеши ли ремeніемъ и4го є3гw2, и3 провлечeтъ ти2 бразды6 на п0ли;

¹¹

And dost thou trust him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou commit thy works to him?

¹¹

надёешилисz нaнь, ћкw мн0га крёпость є3гw2; попyстиши же ли є3мY дэлA тво‰;

¹²

And wilt thou believe that he will return to thee thy seed, and bring it in to thy threshing-floor?

¹²

повёриши же ли, ћкw воздaстъ ти2 сёмz; внесeтъ же ли ти2 въ гумно2;

¹³

The peacock has a beautiful wing: if the stork and the ostrich conceive, it is worthy of notice,

¹³

Крило2 веселsщихсz неелaсса, ѓще зачнeтъ ґсjда и3 нeсса;

¹⁴

for the ostrich will leave her eggs in the ground, and warm them on the dust,

¹⁴

ћкw њстaвитъ на земли2 ћица сво‰, и3 на пeрсти согрёетъ,

¹⁵

and has forgotten that the foot will scatter them, and the wild beasts of the field trample them.

¹⁵

и3 забы2, ћкw ногA разбіeтъ, и3 ѕвёріе сeлніи поперyтъ:

¹⁶

She has hardened herself against her young ones, as though she bereaved not herself: she labours in vain without fear.

¹⁶

њжесточи1сz на ч†да сво‰, ѓки бы не є3S, вотщE труди1сz без8 стрaха,

¹⁷

For God has withholden wisdom from her, and not given her a portion in understanding.

¹⁷

ћкw сокры2 бGъ є4й премyдрость и3 не ўдэли2 є4й въ рaзумэ:

¹⁸

In her season she will lift herself on high; she will scorn the horse and his rider.

¹⁸

во врeмz же на высотY вознесeтъ, посмэeтсz коню2 и3 сэдsщему на нeмъ.

¹⁹

Hast thou invested the horse with strength, and clothed his neck with terror?

¹⁹

И#ли2 ты2 њбложи1лъ є3си2 конS си1лою, и3 њблeклъ же ли є3си2 вhю є3гw2 въ стрaхъ;

²⁰

And hast thou clad him in perfect armour, and made his breast glorious with courage?

²⁰

њбложи1лъ же ли є3си2 є3го2 всеoрyжіемъ, слaву же пeрсей є3гw2 дeрзостію;

²¹

He paws exulting in the plain, and goes forth in strength into the plain.

²¹

копhтомъ копaz на п0ли и3грaетъ и3 и3сх0дитъ на п0ле съ крёпостію:

²²

He laughs to scorn a king as he meets him, and will by no means turn back from the sword.

²²

срэтaz стрёлы посмэzвaетсz и3 не tврати1тсz t желёза:

²³

The bow and sword resound against him; and his rage will swallow up the ground:

²³

над8 ни1мъ и3грaетъ лyкъ и3 мeчь,

²⁴

and he will not believe until the trumpet sounds.

²⁴

и3 гнёвомъ потреби1тъ зeмлю и3 не и4мать вёры ћти, д0ндеже вострyбитъ трубA:

²⁵

And when the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha! and afar off he smells the war with prancing and neighing.

²⁵

трубё же воструби1вшей глаг0летъ, блaгоже: и3здалeча же њбонsетъ рaть, со скакaніемъ и3 ржaніемъ.

²⁶

And does the hawk remain steady by thy wisdom, having spread out her wings unmoved, looking toward the region of the south?

²⁶

И# твоeю ли хи1тростію стои1тъ ћстребъ, распростeръ крилB недви1жимь, зрS на ю4гъ;

²⁷

And does the eagle rise at thy command, and the vulture remain sitting over his nest,

²⁷

Твои1мъ же ли повелёніемъ возн0ситсz nрeлъ, неsсыть же на гнэздЁ своeмъ сэдS вселsетсz,

²⁸

on a crag of a rock, and in a secret place?

²⁸

на версЁ кaмене и3 въ сокровeнэ;

²⁹

Thence he seeks food, his eyes observe from far.

²⁹

тaмw же сhй и4щетъ бр†шна, и3здалeча џчи є3гw2 наблюдaютъ,

³⁰

And his young ones roll themselves in blood, and wherever the carcases may be, immediately they are found.

³⁰

пти6чищи же є3гw2 валsютсz въ кр0ви: и3дёже ѓще бyдутъ мертвечи6ны, ѓбіе њбрэтaютсz.
