¹

Then Baldad the Sauchite answered, and said,

¹

Отвњща же велда'дъ савхе'т#скїи гл~я. доко'лњ гл~еши сїя,

²

How long wilt thou speak these things, how long shall the breath of thy mouth be abundant in words?

²

дх~ъ многогл~ивъ въ ё^стњхъ твои^хъ”

³

Will the Lord be unjust when he judges; or will he that has made all things pervert justice?

³

Є$гда г~ь ѓ^бидитъ сђдя'и, и^л^и сътвори'выи вс^е воꙁметъ пра'вдђ”

⁴

If thy sons have sinned before him, he has cast them away because of their transgression.

⁴

и^л^и сн~ове твои` съгреши'ша преD ниM, пђсти'лъ в рђцњ и^хъ безако'нїя иX,

⁵

But be thou early in prayer to the Lord Almighty.

⁵

ты' же заё^тря'и къ г~ђ моля'ся”

⁶

If thou art pure and true, he will hearken to thy supplication, and will restore to thee the habitation of righteousness.

⁶

А$ще чистъ е^си і^ и'сᲄиненъ, мл~твђ твою ё^слы'шитъ” Оу^строит# же т^и жи'тїе пра'вды,

⁷

Though then thy beginning should be small, yet thy end should be unspeakably great.

⁷

бђдђт# же прьвая твоя ма'ла, послњ'дняя же твоя бес числа`”

⁸

For ask of the former generation, and search diligently among the race of our fathers:

⁸

Въпроси` ё'бо прьвыи и^хъ ро'дъ, и^слњди же по ро'дђ эTц~ь.

⁹

(for we are of yesterday, and know nothing; for our life upon the earth is a shadow:)

⁹

вчера'шнїи б^о е^смь и^ не вњмъ, сњнь б^о е^сть по ꙁемли` наше житїе,

¹⁰

shall not these teach thee, and report to thee, and bring out words from their heart?

¹⁰

не л^и сїя наё^чи'тъ тя, и^ възвњстя'тъ т^и эT срDца і^ и^знесTђ словеса`”

¹¹

Does the rush flourish without water, or shall the flag grow up without moisture?

¹¹

Є$да ни'четъ рого'ꙁъ беZ воды`, и^л^и расте'тъ вино безъ напое'нїя.

¹²

When it is yet on the root, and though it has not been cut down, does not any herb wither before it has received moisture?

¹²

е^ще сђщее в ко'рени не по'жнется, прьвїе пи'тїя все` бы'лїе не и^схне'тъ л^и”

¹³

Thus then shall be the end of all that forget the Lord: for the hope of the ungodly shall perish.

¹³

Та'ко ё^бо бђдђтъ послњдняа всXњ, забыва'ющихъ г~а. наде'жDа б^о нечести'ваго поги'бнетъ,

¹⁴

For his house shall be without inhabitants, and his tent shall prove a spider's web.

¹⁴

не ё^селен# б^о бђдетъ до'мъ е^го, паё^чи'на же събђдется хра'мъ е^го.

¹⁵

If he should prop up his house, it shall not stand: and when he has taken hold of it, it shall not remain.

¹⁵

а^ще поDпре'т# хлњвинђ` свою не ста'нетъ, и^меT же е^мђ не сте'рпитъ.

¹⁶

For it is moist under the sun, and his branch shall come forth out of his dung-heap.

¹⁶

мо'кръ б^о е^сть слн~цемъ, и^ эT гно'я е^го лњторасль и^ꙁыидетъ.

¹⁷

He lies down upon a gathering of stones, and shall live in the midst of flints.

¹⁷

на собо'рњ ка'менїя спи'тъ, по'средњ же до'брна ка'менїа поживе'тъ.

¹⁸

If God should destroy him, his place shall deny him. Hast thou not seen such things,

¹⁸

а^ще же и^ пожреT мњсто солже'тъ е^го, не вњ'дњ л^и такова`.

¹⁹

that such is the overthrow of the ungodly? and out of the earth another shall grow.

¹⁹

ја%ко раꙁвраще'нїе нечести'ва ᲄаково`, эT ꙁемля' же и%ного проꙁя'бнетъ”

²⁰

For the Lord will by no means reject the harmless man; but he will not receive any gift of the ungodly.

²⁰

Гь~ б^о не эTринетъ неꙁлоби'ваго, всего' же да'ра нечесᲄи'ваго не прїимеT.

²¹

But he will fill with laughter the mouth of the sincere, and their lips with thanksgiving.

²¹

и%стин#на же ё^ста` и^спо'лниT смњха`, ё^стны' же и^хъ и^сповњда'нїя.

²²

But their adversaries shall clothe themselves with shame; and the habitation of the ungodly shall perish.

²²

вра'ꙁи же и^хъ ѓ^блекђтся въ стђдъ, жи'тїе же нечести'ваго не бђдетъ”
