¹

But Job answered and said,

¹

Отвњща же і%ѓвᲆ и^ рече.

²

Oh that one would indeed weigh the wrath that is upon me, and take up my griefs in a balance together!

²

а^ще кто вњ'дыи поста'виᲄъ ми гнњтъ, бо'лњꙁни же моя вᲆꙁе'млеT на мњрила вᲆкђпᲇ,

³

And verily they would be heavier than the sand by the seashore: but, as it seems, my words are vain.

³

и^ пњска` мо'рскаготяжча'иша бђдђтъ. н^о ја^коже словеса` моа хђ'лена сђть,

⁴

For the arrows of the Lord are in my body, whose violence drinks up my blood: whenever I am going to speak, they pierce me.

⁴

стрњ'лы б^о гн~я въ тњлњ мое^мъ сђть, и%хже ја%рость и^спива'етъ ми кро'вь, е^гда` начнђ` гл~ати бодђтъ м^я.

⁵

What then? will the wild ass bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? or again, will the ox low at the manger, when he has fodder?

⁵

что` б^о е^гда во'т#ще возреве'тъ ді'вїи ѓ^се'лъ, н^о бра'шна прося`. а%ще ли же и^ воꙁревеT во'лъ въ ја%слехъ и^мњ'я бра'шно.

⁶

Shall bread be eaten without salt? or again, is there taste in empty words?

⁶

ја%сть ли ся хлњбъ безъ со'ли, и^л^и е^сть въкђше'нїе т#щи'ми словесы`.

⁷

For my wrath cannot cease; for I perceive my food as the smell of a lion to be loathsome.

⁷

не мо'жетъ б^о м^и преста'ти дш~а, смра'дъ б^о зрю`. и^ бра'шно свое во'ню льво'вђ,

⁸

For oh that he would grant my desire, and my petition might come, and the Lord would grant my hope!

⁸

а^ще б^о да'сть, и^ прїидеT ми проше'нїе, и^ наде'ждђ мою да'сть г~ь

⁹

Let the Lord begin and wound me, but let him not utterly destroy me.

⁹

наче'нъ г~ь да ё^ја^зви'тъ, до концаy да не ё^бїетъ м^я”

¹⁰

Let the grave be my city, upon the walls of which I have leaped: I will not shrink from it; for I have not denied the holy words of my God.

¹⁰

Бђ'ди же ми граD гро'бъ на не'мже на забра'лехъ скакаX, на не'мъ не постыжђся не солгаX б^о слове'съ ст~ыхъ б~ђ мое^мђ”

¹¹

For what is my strength, that I continue? what is my time, that my soul endures?

¹¹

Ка'я б^о крњпость моя ја%коᲄер#плю` и^л^и кое ми время, ја^ко не сте'рпитъ м^и дш~а.

¹²

Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?

¹²

е^да` крњпости ка'менїя крњпость моа, и^л^и пло'ти моа сђть мњдяны

¹³

Or have I not trusted in him? but help is far from me.

¹³

и^л^и не ё^пова'хъ к немђ” По'мощ# же эT мене эTстђпи`,

¹⁴

Mercy has rejected me; and the visitation of the Lord has disregarded me.

¹⁴

эTврь'же мя млsть посњще'нїе же гн~е призрњ м^я,

¹⁵

My nearest relations have not regarded me; they have passed me by like a failing brook, or like a wave.

¹⁵

и^ не възрњша на' мя бли'жнїи мои`. ја%коy пото'къ пресњца'я, и^л^и ја%ко влъны преи^до'ша м^я,

¹⁶

They who used to reverence me, now have come against me like snow or congealed ice.

¹⁶

и^же ся мене` бл~го боя'хђ. нн~њ нападо'ша м^и,

¹⁷

When it has melted at the approach of heat, it is not known what it was.

¹⁷

ја^коже снњ'гъ и^ ле'дъ сме'рꙁъся. ја%коже и^ста'етъ теплотњ` бы'вши, не позна'ся е^же бњ`,

¹⁸

Thus I also have been deserted of all; and I am ruined, and become an outcast.

¹⁸

та'коже и^ а'ꙁъ ѓ^ста'вленъ бы'хъ всњми`, погибо'хъ же и^ беꙁдо'мокъ бы'хъ”

¹⁹

Behold the ways of the Thæmanites, ye that mark the paths of the Sabæans.

¹⁹

Ви'дите пђти` џема'нъскїя, гостинница савоня призрященїи.

²⁰

They too that trust in cities and riches shall come to shame.

²⁰

стђда длъжни бђдTђ ѓ^ градXњ и^ ѓ^ и^мњ'нїиX надњ'ющїися.

²¹

But ye also have come to me without pity; so that beholding my wound ye are afraid.

²¹

и^ вы' же ё%бо наи^до'сте мн^њ беꙁъми'лосᲄивно, ја%коy видњвши мои стрђпᲆ ё^боя'стеся.

²²

What? have I made any demand of you? or do I ask for strength from you,

²²

что` б^о, е^гда чт^о ё^ ва'съ проси'хъ. и^л^и ва'шея крњпости ᲄребђ'ю,

²³

to deliver me from enemies, or to rescue me from the hand of the mighty ones?

²³

ја%ко спsти м^я эT рђки` вра'гъ. и^л^и и^з рђки` си'лныхъ и^ꙁба'вите м^я.

²⁴

Teach ye me, and I will be silent: if in anything I have erred, tell me.

²⁴

наё^чи'те м^я, а^ꙁ же ё^млъчю`” А$ще чт^о прельсти'хся скажи'те м^и.

²⁵

But as it seems, the words of a true man are vain, because I do not ask strength of you.

²⁵

н^о ја%коже подо'бно е^сть злђ` и%стин#наго гл~и. не эT ва'съ б^о крњпости прошђ`.

²⁶

Neither will your reproof cause me to cease my words, for neither will I endure the sound of your speech.

²⁶

ниже ѓ^бличе'нїе жела'ше, словесы` м^я ё^ста'витъ. ниже вњща'нїя вашего словеs трьплю`

²⁷

Even because ye attack the fatherless, and insult your friend.

²⁷

ра'ꙁвњ ја%ко на си'ра наска'чете, напада'ете же на дрђга ва'шего”

²⁸

But now, having looked upon your countenances, I will not lie.

²⁸

Нн~њ же въꙁрњвъ на лица` ваша не солжђ`.

²⁹

Sit down now, and let there not be unrighteousness; and unite again with the just.

²⁹

ся'дњте же и^ не бђдетъ непра'ведно,

³⁰

For there is no injustice in my tongue; and does not my throat meditate understanding?

³⁰

и^ горта'нь мои не раꙁђмђ л^и поё^ча'ется”
