¹

But call, if any one will hearken to thee, or if thou shalt see any of the holy angels.

¹

Призови́ же, а҆́ще кто́ тѧ оу҆слы́шитъ, и҆лѝ а҆́ще кого̀ ѿ ст҃ы́хъ а҆́гг҃лъ оу҆́зриши.

²

For wrath destroys the foolish one, and envy slays him that has gone astray.

²

Безꙋ́мнаго бо оу҆бива́етъ гнѣ́въ, заблꙋ́ждшаго же оу҆мерщвлѧ́етъ рве́нїе.

³

And I have seen foolish ones taking root: but suddenly their habitation was devoured.

³

А҆́зъ же ви́дѣхъ безꙋ́мныхъ оу҆коренѧ́ющихсѧ, но а҆́бїе поѧде́но бы́сть и҆́хъ жили́ще.

⁴

Let their children be far from safety, and let them be crushed at the doors of vile men, and let there be no deliverer.

⁴

Дале́че да бꙋ́дꙋтъ сы́нове и҆́хъ ѿ спасе́нїѧ, и҆ да сотрꙋ́тсѧ при две́рехъ хꙋ́ждшихъ, и҆ не бꙋ́детъ и҆з̾има́ѧй.

⁵

For what they have collected, the just shall eat; but they shall not be delivered out of calamities: let their strength be utterly exhausted.

⁵

Ꙗ҆̀же бо ѻ҆нѝ собра́ша, првⷣницы поѧдѧ́тъ, са́ми же ѿ ѕѡ́лъ не и҆з̾ѧ́ти бꙋ́дꙋтъ: и҆зможде́нна бꙋ́ди крѣ́пость и҆́хъ.

⁶

For labour cannot by any means come out of the earth, nor shall trouble spring out of the mountains:

⁶

Не и҆́мать бо ѿ землѝ и҆зы́ти трꙋ́дъ, ни ѿ го́ръ прозѧ́бнꙋти болѣ́знь:

⁷

yet man is born to labour, and even so the vulture's young seek the high places.

⁷

но человѣ́къ ражда́етсѧ на трꙋ́дъ, птенцы́ же сꙋ́пѡвы высо́кѡ парѧ́тъ.

⁸

Nevertheless I will beseech the Lord, and will call upon the Lord, the sovereign of all;

⁸

Ѻ҆ба́че же а҆́зъ помолю́сѧ бг҃ови, гдⷭ҇а же всѣ́хъ влⷣкꙋ призовꙋ̀,

⁹

who does great things and untraceable, glorious things also, and marvellous, of which there is no number:

⁹

творѧ́щаго вє́лїѧ и҆ неизслѣ̑димаѧ, сла̑внаѧ же и҆ и҆зрѧ̑днаѧ, и҆̀мже нѣ́сть числа̀:

¹⁰

who gives rain upon the earth, sending water on the earth:

¹⁰

даю́щаго до́ждь на зе́млю, посыла́ющаго во́дꙋ на поднебе́снꙋю:

¹¹

who exalts the lowly, and raises up them that are lost:

¹¹

возносѧ́щаго смирє́нныѧ на высотꙋ̀ и҆ поги́бшыѧ воздвиза́ющаго во спасе́нїе:

¹²

frustrating the counsels of the crafty, and their hands shall not perform the truth:

¹²

расточа́ющаго совѣ́ты лꙋка́выхъ, да не сотворѧ́тъ рꙋ́цѣ и҆́хъ и҆́стины.

¹³

who takes the wise in their wisdom, and subverts the counsel of the crafty.

¹³

Оу҆ловлѧ́ѧй премꙋ́дрыхъ въ мꙋ́дрости и҆́хъ, совѣ́тъ же кова́рныхъ разорѝ.

¹⁴

In the day darkness shall come upon them, and let them grope in the noon-day even as in the night:

¹⁴

Во днѝ ѡ҆бы́метъ и҆̀хъ тма̀, въ полꙋ́дне же да ѡ҆сѧ́жꙋтъ ꙗ҆́коже въ нощѝ,

¹⁵

and let them perish in war, and let the weak escape from the hand of the mighty.

¹⁵

и҆ да поги́бнꙋтъ на бра́ни: немощны́й же да и҆зы́детъ и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ си́льнагѡ.

¹⁶

And let the weak have hope, but the mouth of the unjust be stopped.

¹⁶

Бꙋ́ди же немощно́мꙋ наде́жда, непра́веднагѡ же оу҆ста̀ да заградѧ́тсѧ.

¹⁷

But blessed is the man whom the Lord has reproved; and reject not thou the chastening of the Almighty.

¹⁷

Блаже́нъ же человѣ́къ, є҆го́же ѡ҆бличѝ бг҃ъ, наказа́нїѧ же вседержи́телева не ѿвраща́йсѧ:

¹⁸

For he causes a man to be in pain, and restores him again: he smites, and his hands heal.

¹⁸

то́й бо болѣ́ти твори́тъ и҆ па́ки возставлѧ́етъ: поразѝ, и҆ рꙋ́цѣ є҆гѡ̀ и҆зцѣлѧ́тъ:

¹⁹

Six times he shall deliver thee out of distresses: and in the seventh harm shall not touch thee.

¹⁹

шести́жды ѿ бѣ́дъ и҆́зметъ тѧ̀, въ седмѣ́мъ же не ко́снеттисѧ ѕло̀:

²⁰

In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in war he shall free thee from the power of the sword.

²⁰

во гла́дѣ и҆зба́витъ тѧ̀ ѿ сме́рти, на бра́ни же и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ желѣ́за и҆зрѣши́тъ тѧ̀:

²¹

He shall hide thee from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not be afraid of coming evils.

²¹

ѿ бича̀ ѧ҆зы́ка скры́етъ тѧ̀, и҆ не оу҆бои́шисѧ ѿ ѕѡ́лъ находѧ́щихъ:

²²

Thou shalt laugh at the unrighteous and the lawless: and thou shalt not be afraid of wild beasts.

²²

непра́вєднымъ и҆ беззакѡ́ннымъ посмѣе́шисѧ, ѿ ди́вїихъ же ѕвѣре́й не оу҆бои́шисѧ,

²³

For the wild beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

²³

занѐ съ ка́менїемъ ди́вїимъ завѣ́тъ тво́й: ѕвѣ́рїе бо ди́вїи примирѧ́тсѧ тебѣ̀.

²⁴

Then shalt thou know that thy house shall be at peace, and the provision for thy tabernacle shall not fail.

²⁴

Пото́мъ оу҆разꙋмѣ́еши, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ ми́рѣ бꙋ́детъ до́мъ тво́й, жили́ще же хра́мины твоеѧ̀ не и҆́мать согрѣши́ти:

²⁵

And thou shalt know that thy seed shall be abundant; and thy children shall be like the herbage of the field.

²⁵

оу҆разꙋмѣ́еши же, ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́го сѣ́мѧ твоѐ, и҆ ча̑да твоѧ̑ бꙋ́дꙋтъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ве́сь ѕла́къ се́лный:

²⁶

And thou shalt come to the grave like ripe corn reaped in its season, or as a heap of the corn-flour collected in proper time.

²⁶

вни́деши же во гро́бъ ꙗ҆́коже пшени́ца созрѣ́лаѧ во вре́мѧ пожа́таѧ, и҆лѝ ꙗ҆́коже сто́гъ гꙋмна̀ во вре́мѧ свезе́нный.

²⁷

Behold, we have thus sought out these matters; these are what we have heard: but do thou reflect with thyself, if thou hast done anything wrong.

²⁷

Сѐ, сїѧ̑ си́це и҆зслѣ́дихомъ: сїѧ̑ сꙋ́ть, ꙗ҆̀же слы́шахомъ: ты́ же разꙋмѣ́й себѣ̀, а҆́ще что̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ.
