¹

Then Baldad the Sauchite answered, and said,

¹

Ѿвѣща́въ же валда́дъ саѵхе́йскїй, речѐ: доко́лѣ глаго́лати бꙋ́деши сїѧ̑;

²

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

²

дꙋ́хъ многоглаго́ливъ во оу҆стѣ́хъ твои́хъ.

³

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

³

Є҆да̀ гдⷭ҇ь ѡ҆би́дитъ сꙋдѧ́й; и҆лѝ всѧ̑ сотвори́вый возмѧте́тъ пра́вдꙋ;

⁴

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

⁴

А҆́ще сы́нове твоѝ согрѣши́ша пред̾ ни́мъ, посла̀ рꙋ́кꙋ на беззакѡ́нїѧ и҆́хъ:

⁵

But be thou early in prayer to the Lord Almighty.

⁵

ты́ же оу҆́тренюй ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ вседержи́телю молѧ́сѧ:

⁶

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

⁶

а҆́ще чи́стъ є҆сѝ и҆ и҆́стиненъ, моли́твꙋ твою̀ оу҆слы́шитъ, оу҆стро́итъ же тѝ па́ки житїѐ пра́вды:

⁷

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

⁷

бꙋ́дꙋтъ оу҆̀бо пє́рваѧ твоѧ̑ ма̑ла, послѣ̑днѧѧ же твоѧ̑ без̾ числа̀.

⁸

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

⁸

Вопроси́ бо ро́да пе́рваго, и҆зслѣ́ди же по ро́дꙋ ѻ҆тцє́въ:

⁹

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

⁹

вчера́шни бо є҆смы̀ и҆ не вѣ́мы, сѣ́нь бо є҆́сть на́ше житїѐ на землѝ:

¹⁰

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

¹⁰

не сі́и ли наꙋча́тъ тѧ̀ и҆ возвѣстѧ́тъ тѝ и҆ ѿ се́рдца и҆знесꙋ́тъ словеса̀;

¹¹

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

¹¹

Є҆да̀ произни́четъ ро́гозъ без̾ воды̀, и҆лѝ расте́тъ си́тникъ без̾ напаѧ́нїѧ;

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

є҆щѐ сꙋ́щꙋ на ко́рени, и҆ не по́жнетсѧ ли; пре́жде напаѧ́нїѧ всѧ́кое бы́лїе не и҆зсыха́етъ ли;

¹³

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

¹³

та́кѡ оу҆̀бо бꙋ́дꙋтъ послѣ̑днѧѧ всѣ́хъ забыва́ющихъ гдⷭ҇а: наде́жда бо нечести́вагѡ поги́бнетъ:

¹⁴

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

¹⁴

не населе́нъ бо бꙋ́детъ до́мъ є҆гѡ̀, паꙋчи́на же сбꙋ́детсѧ селе́нїе є҆гѡ̀.

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

А҆́ще подпре́тъ хра́минꙋ свою̀, не ста́нетъ: є҆́мшꙋсѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ за ню̀, не пребꙋ́детъ.

¹⁶

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

¹⁶

Вла́жный бо є҆́сть под̾ со́лнцемъ, и҆ ѿ тлѣ́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ лѣ́торасль є҆гѡ̀ и҆зы́детъ:

¹⁷

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

¹⁷

на собра́нїи ка́менїѧ спи́тъ, посредѣ́ же креме́нїѧ поживе́тъ:

¹⁸

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

¹⁸

а҆́ще поглоти́тъ мѣ́сто, солже́тъ є҆мꙋ̀, не ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ такова̑ѧ,

¹⁹

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

¹⁹

ꙗ҆́кѡ превраще́нїе нечести́вагѡ таково̀, и҆з̾ земли́ же и҆на́го произрасти́тъ.

²⁰

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

²⁰

Гдⷭ҇ь бо не ѿри́нетъ неѕло́бивагѡ: всѧ́кагѡ же да́ра ѿ нечести́вагѡ не прїи́метъ.

²¹

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

²¹

И҆́стиннымъ же оу҆ста̀ и҆спо́лнитъ смѣ́ха, оу҆стнѣ́ же и҆́хъ и҆сповѣ́данїѧ.

²²

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

²²

Врази́ же и҆́хъ ѡ҆блекꙋ́тсѧ въ стꙋ́дъ: жили́ще же нечести́вагѡ не бꙋ́детъ.
