¹

A fair name is better than much wealth, and good favour is above silver and gold.

¹

И$зволенњ'иши же е^сть и^мя добро, неже бога'тъство мно'го, и^ лђче сребра и^ ꙁлаᲄа блгDть бл~га.

²

The rich and the poor meet together; but the Lord made them both.

²

бога'тъ и^ ниu срњто'ста дрђгъ дрђга, ѓ%ба же е^сть г~ь сътворилъ.

³

An intelligent man seeing a bad man severely punished is himself instructed, but fools pass by and are punished.

³

хђдо'гъ ви'дњвъ лђка'ваго въ мђкахᲆ крњпко самъ накаꙁђется, беꙁђмнїи же мимошеDше ѓ^т#щети'шася”

⁴

The fear of the Lord is the offspring of wisdom, and wealth, and glory, and life.

⁴

ро'дъ премђдрости бо'яꙁнь гн~я, и^ бога'т#ствїе и^ сла'ва живо'тъ.

⁵

Thistles and snares are in perverse ways; but he that keeps his soul will refrain from them.

⁵

влъчецъ и^ сњть на пђтехъ стропо'тныхъ, храня'и же свою дш~ђ и^ꙁбњжи'тъ эT нихъ.

⁷

The rich will rule over the poor, and servants will lend to their own masters.

⁶

бога'тїи ё^богими ѓ^блада'ю^тъ,

⁸

He that sows wickedness shall reap troubles; and shall fully receive the punishment of his deeds. God loves a cheerful and liberal man; but a man shall fully prove the folly of his works.

⁷

и^ раби` гм~ъ длъгъ эTдаю'тъ

⁹

He that has pity on the poor shall himself be maintained; for he has given of his own bread to the poor. He that gives liberally secures victory and honour; but he takes away the life of them that possess them.

⁸

сњ'явыи ꙁлое пожнетᲆ ꙁлое, ранђ же дњлы свои'ми съвръшитъ.

¹⁰

Cast out a pestilent person from the council, and strife shall go out with him; for when he sits in the council he dishonours all.

⁹

мђ'жа ти'ха да'теля лю'биT г~ь, сђ'етныX же дњлъ е^го не въспомянеT.

The Lord loves holy hearts, and all blameless persons are acceptable with him: a king rules with his lips.

¹⁰

¹²

But the eyes of the Lord preserve discretion; but the transgressor despises wise words.

¹¹

и^ждени эT сонмища гђби'теля, и^ꙁы'идетъ с нимъ побњжденїе, е^гда б^о ся'деT в сонмищи всњмъ досажда'етъ”

¹³

The sluggard makes excuses, and says, There is a lion in the ways, and murderers in the streets.

¹²

Лю'битъ г~ь прпDбныхъ срDца, прие^млеми же е^мђ вси непорочнїи въ пђтехъ своиX. ё^стна'ма пасеT цр~ь лю'ди своя,

¹⁴

The mouth of a transgressor is a deep pit; and he that is hated of the Lord shall fall into it. Evil ways are before a man, and he does not like to turn away from them; but it is needful to turn aside from a perverse and bad way.

¹³

ѓ%чи же гн~и соблюда'ютъ чю'вствїе. досажа'етъ сло'вомъ законопрестђпныи

¹⁵

Folly is attached to the heart of a child, but the rod and instruction are then far from him.

¹⁴

вины` и%щетъ и^ гл~етъ лњнивыи, ле'въ на стезя'хъ, на пђтех же раꙁбо'иницы.

¹⁶

He that oppresses the poor, increases his own substance, yet gives to the rich so as to make it less.

¹⁵

ја^ма глђбо'ка ё^ста` ꙁаконопрестђпныхъ, въꙁненавидњныи же эT г~а въпадется в ню. сђть пђтїе ꙁлїи преD мђжемъ, и^ не лю'биT въꙁврати'тися эT ни'хъ. въꙁвратити же ся подоба'етъ эT пђти` сᲄропо'тна зла`”

¹⁷

Incline thine ear to the words of wise men: hear also my word, and apply thine heart,

¹⁶

Невњждествомъ въꙁгори'тся срDце ю'наго, жеꙁлъ и^ накаꙁа'нїе далече эT него.

¹⁸

that thou mayest know that they are good: and if thou lay them to heart, they shall also gladden thee on thy lips.

¹⁷

ѓ^бидя'и же ё^бога мно'го себњ ѕла сътвори'т#, и^ дае'тъ бога'томђ на ни'щемъ.

¹⁹

That thy hope may be in the Lord, and he may make thy way known to thee.

¹⁸

ко словесемъ мђдрыхъ прилага'и свое ё'хо и^ ё^слы'ши моа словеса`, свое же срDце поста'ви к нимъ да раꙁђмњеши ја%ко добра сђть.

²⁰

And do thou too repeatedly record them for thyself on the table of thine heart, for counsel and knowledge.

¹⁹

и^ а'ще вложиши я& въ срDце твое, въꙁвеселятъ тебе сᲆ твои^ма ё^стнама.

I therefore teach thee truth, and knowledge good to hear; that thou mayest answer words of truth to them that question thee.

²⁰

бђды ᲄы на г~а ё^пова'я, и^ наё^читъ т^я пђтемᲆ свои^мъ.

ты' же напиши я& себњ на ё^строе'нїе, на совњтъ и^ чю'вство и^ ра'зђмъ, на широтђ срDца твое^го. наё^чю бо т^я и%стинномђ словеси, и^ разђма и%стиннаго послђшати, на эTвњты словесемъ и%стиннымъ, въпрашающимъ т^я.

²³

For the Lord will plead his cause, and thou shalt deliver thy soul in safety.

²²

не ё^каря'и ни'ща ꙁане` ё^богъ е^сть, и^ не досаждаи не'мощномђ въ вра'тњхъ.

²⁴

Be not companion to a furious man; neither lodge with a passionate man:

²³

г~ь б^о сђдитъ е^мђ сђдомъ, и^ꙁба'ви свою невещественђю дш~ђ”

²⁵

lest thou learn of his ways, and get snares to thy soul.

²⁴

Не быва'и дрђгъ мђжђ гнњвли'вђ, и^ со дрђгомъ жестосръдныM не съчета'ися.

²⁶

Become not surety from respect of a man's person.

²⁵

е^гда когда наё^чишися пђтеM е^го, прїимеши тенето свое'и дш~и.

For if those have not whence to give compensation, they will take the bed that is under thee.

не вдаися въ порђче'нїе стыдяся лица`

²⁸

Remove not the old landmarks, which thy fathers placed.

²⁷

е^да б^о не бђдеши и^мњти чиM и^скђпи'тися, и^ во'змTђ посте'лю ја%же поD ребры твои^ми.

²⁹

It is fit that an observant man and one diligent in his business should attend on kings, and not attend on slothful men.

²⁸

не прелага'и предњлъ вњчныхъ, ја^же положи'ша эTц~ы твои`.
