¹

Then Eliphaz the Thæmanite answered and said,

¹

Tвэщa же є3ліфaзъ fеманjтинъ, глаг0лz:

²

Hast thou been often spoken to in distress? but who shall endure the force of thy words?

²

є3дA мн0жицею глаг0лано ти2 бhсть въ трудЁ; тsжести же глагHлъ твои1хъ кто2 стерпи1тъ;

³

For whereas thou hast instructed many, and hast strengthened the hands of the weak one,

³

ѓще бо ты2 научи1лъ є3си2 мнHги и3 рyцэ немощнhхъ ўтёшилъ є3си2,

⁴

and hast supported the failing with words, and hast imparted courage to feeble knees.

⁴

немwщнhz же воздви1глъ є3си2 словесы2, колёнwмъ же немwщнhмъ си1лу њбложи1лъ є3си2.

⁵

Yet now that pain has come upon thee, and touched thee, thou art troubled.

⁵

Нн7э же пріи1де на тS болёзнь и3 коснyсz тебє2, тh же возмути1лсz є3си2.

⁶

Is not thy fear founded in folly, thy hope also, and the mischief of thy way?

⁶

Е#дA стрaхъ тв0й є4сть не въ безyміи, и3 надeжда твоS и3 ѕл0ба пути2 твоегw2;

⁷

Remember then who has perished, being pure? or when were the true-hearted utterly destroyed?

⁷

Помzни2 u5бо, кто2 чи1стъ сhй поги1бе; и3ли2 когдA и4стинніи вси2 и3з8 к0рене погиб0ша;

⁸

Accordingly as I have seen men ploughing barren places, and they that sow them will reap sorrows for themselves.

⁸

Ћкоже ви1дэхъ њрю1щихъ неподHбнаz, сёющіи же | бwлёзни п0жнутъ себЁ,

⁹

They shall perish by the command of the Lord, and shall be utterly consumed by the breath of his wrath.

⁹

t повелёніz гDнz поги1бнутъ, t д¦а же гнёва є3гw2 и3зчeзнутъ.

¹⁰

The strength of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the exulting cry of serpents are quenched.

¹⁰

Си1ла льв0ва, глaсъ же льви1цы, весeліе же ѕміє1въ ўгасE:

¹¹

The old lion has perished for want of food, and the lions' whelps have forsaken one another.

¹¹

мраволeвъ поги1бе, занeже не и3мёzше брaшна, скЂмни же львHвы њстaвиша дрyгъ дрyгу.

¹²

But if there had been any truth in thy words, none of these evils would have befallen thee. Shall not mine ear receive excellent revelations from him?

¹²

Ѓще же глаг0лъ кjй и4стиненъ бЁ во словесёхъ твои1хъ, ни к0еже бы2 t си1хъ тS срётило ѕло2. не пріи1метъ ли ќхо моE преди1вныхъ t негw2;

¹³

But as when terror falls upon men, with dread and a sound in the night,

¹³

Стрaхомъ же и3 глaсомъ нощнhмъ, напaдающь стрaхъ на человёки,

¹⁴

horror and trembling seized me, and caused all my bones greatly to shake.

¹⁴

ќжасъ же мS срёте и3 трeпетъ, и3 ѕэлw2 кHсти мо‰ стрzсE:

¹⁵

And a spirit came before my face; and my hair and flesh quivered.

¹⁵

и3 дyхъ на лицe ми нaйде: ўстраши1шасz же ми2 власи2 и3 плHти,

¹⁶

I arose and perceived it not: I looked, and there was no form before my eyes: but I only heard a breath and a voice, saying,

¹⁶

востaхъ и3 не разумёхъ, ви1дэхъ, и3 не бЁ њбли1чіz пред8 nчи1ма мои1ма, но т0кмw дyхъ ти1хъ и3 глaсъ слhшахъ:

¹⁷

What, shall a mortal be pure before the Lord? or a man be blameless in regard to his works?

¹⁷

чт0 бо; є3дA чи1стъ бyдетъ человёкъ пред8 бGомъ; и3ли2 въ дёлэхъ свои1хъ без8 пор0ка мyжъ;

¹⁸

Whereas he trusts not in his servants, and perceives perverseness in his angels.

¹⁸

ѓще рабHмъ свои6мъ не вёруетъ, и3 во ѓгGлэхъ свои1хъ стр0потно что2 ўсмотрЁ,

¹⁹

But as for them that dwell in houses of clay, of whom we also are formed of the same clay, he smites them like a moth.

¹⁹

живyщихъ же въ брeнныхъ хрaминахъ, t ни1хже и3 мы2 сaми t тогHжде брeніz є3смы2, порази2, ћкоже м0ліе,

²⁰

And from morning to evening they no longer exist: they have perished, because they cannot help themselves.

²⁰

и3 t ќтра дaже до вeчера ктомY не сyть: занeже не мог0ша себЁ помощи2, погиб0ша:

²¹

For he blows upon them, and they are withered: they have perished for lack of wisdom.

²¹

дхнy бо на нS, и3 и3зсх0ша, и3 понeже не и3мёzху премyдрости, погиб0ша.
