¹

Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial? and his existence as that of a hireling by the day?

¹

Не и3скушeніе ли житіE человёку на земли2, и3 ћкоже наeмника повседнeвнагw жи1знь є3гw2;

²

Or as a servant that fears his master, and one who has grasped a shadow? or as a hireling waiting for his pay?

²

и3ли2 ћкоже рaбъ боsйсz гDа своегw2 и3 ўлучи1въ сёнь; и3ли2 ћкоже наeмникъ ждhй мзды2 своеS;

³

So have I also endured months of vanity, and nights of pain have been appointed me.

³

тaкожде и3 ѓзъ ждaхъ мцcы тщы2, нHщи же болёзней даны2 ми2 сyть.

⁴

Whenever I lie down, I say, When will it be day? and whenever I rise up, again I say when will it be evening? and I am full of pains from evening to morning.

⁴

Ѓще ўснY, глаг0лю: когдA дeнь; є3гдa же востaну, пaки: когдA вeчеръ; и3сп0лненъ же бывaю болёзней t вeчера до ќтра.

⁵

And my body is covered with loathsome worms; and I waste away, scraping off clods of dust from my eruption.

⁵

Мёситсz же моE тёло въ гнои2 червeй, њбливaю же грyдіе земли2, гн0й стружA.

⁶

And my life is lighter than a word, and has perished in vain hope.

⁶

Житіe же моE є4сть скорsе бесёды, поги1бе же во тщeй надeжди.

⁷

Remember then that my life is breath, and mine eye shall not yet again see good.

⁷

Помzни2 u5бо, ћкw дyхъ м0й жив0тъ, и3 ктомY не возврати1тсz џко моE ви1дэти благ†z.

⁸

The eye of him that sees me shall not see me again: thine eyes are upon me, and I am no more.

⁸

Не ќзритъ менE џко ви1дzщагw мS: џчи твои2 на мнЁ, и3 ктомY нёсмь,

⁹

I am as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky: for if a man go down to the grave, he shall not come up again:

⁹

ћкоже w4блакъ њчищeнъ t небесE: ѓще бо человёкъ сни1детъ во ѓдъ, ктомY не взhдетъ,

¹⁰

and he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more.

¹⁰

ни возврати1тсz во св0й д0мъ, нижE и4мать є3го2 познaти ктомY мёсто є3гw2.

¹¹

Then neither will I refrain my mouth: I will speak being in distress; being in anguish I will disclose the bitterness of my soul.

¹¹

Ќбw нижE ѓзъ пощажY ќстъ мои1хъ, возглаг0лю въ нyжди сhй, tвeрзу ўстA мо‰ г0рестію души2 моеS сотэснeнъ.

¹²

Am I a sea, or a serpent, that thou hast set a watch over me?

¹²

Е#дA м0ре є4смь, и3ли2 ѕмjй, ћкw ўчини1лъ є3си2 на мS хранeніе;

¹³

I said that my bed should comfort me, and I would privately counsel with myself on my couch.

¹³

Рек0хъ, ћкw ўтёшитъ мS џдръ м0й, произнесy же ко мнЁ на є3ди1нэ сл0во на л0жи моeмъ:

¹⁴

Thou scarest me with dreams, and dost terrify me with visions.

¹⁴

ўстрашaеши мS с0ніzми и3 видёніzми ўжасaеши мS:

¹⁵

Thou wilt separate life from my spirit; and yet keep my bones from death.

¹⁵

свободи1ши t дyха моегw2 дyшу мою2, t смeрти же кHсти мо‰.

¹⁶

For I shall not live for ever, that I should patiently endure: depart from me, for my life is vain.

¹⁶

Не поживy бо во вёкъ, да долготерплю2: tступи2 t менє2, тщe бо житіE моE.

¹⁷

For what is man, that thou hast magnified him? or that thou givest heed to him?

¹⁷

Чт0 бо є4сть человёкъ, ћкw возвели1чилъ є3си2 є3го2; и3ли2 ћкw внимaеши ўм0мъ къ немY;

¹⁸

Wilt thou visit him till the morning, and judge him till the time of rest?

¹⁸

и3ли2 посэщeніе твори1ши є3мY по всsко ќтро и3 въ пок0и суди1ти є3го2 и4маши;

¹⁹

How long dost thou not let me alone, nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle?

¹⁹

Док0лэ не њстaвиши менE, нижE tпускaеши мS, д0ндеже поглощY сли6ны мо‰ въ болёзни;

²⁰

If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O thou that understandest the mind of men? why hast thou made me as thine accuser, and why am I a burden to thee?

²⁰

Ѓще ѓзъ согрэши1хъ, что2 тебЁ возмогY содёлати, свёдый ќмъ человёчь; почт0 мz є3си2 положи1лъ прекосл0вна тебЁ, и3 є4смь тебЁ брeменемъ;

²¹

Why hast thou not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? but now I shall depart to the earth; and in the morning, I am no more.

²¹

почто2 нёси сотвори1лъ беззак0нію моемY забвeніz, и3 њчищeніz грэхA моегw2; нн7э же въ зeмлю tидY, ќтренюzй же нёсмь ктомY.
