For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core.

¹

Въ коне́цъ, сынѡ́мъ коре́ѡвымъ, ѱало́мъ, м҃и҃.

²

Hear these words, all ye nations, hearken, all ye that dwell upon the earth:

²

Оу҆слы́шите сїѧ̑, всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы, внꙋши́те, всѝ живꙋ́щїи по вселе́ннѣй,

³

both the sons of mean men, and sons of great men; the rich and poor man together.

³

земноро́днїи же и҆ сы́нове человѣ́честїи, вкꙋ́пѣ бога́тъ и҆ оу҆бо́гъ.

⁴

My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall bring forth understanding.

⁴

Оу҆ста̀ моѧ̑ возглаго́лютъ премꙋ́дрость, и҆ поꙋче́нїе се́рдца моегѡ̀ ра́зꙋмъ.

⁵

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my riddle on the harp.

⁵

Приклоню̀ въ при́тчꙋ оу҆́хо моѐ, ѿве́рзꙋ во ѱалти́ри гана́нїе моѐ.

⁶

Wherefore should I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall compass me.

⁶

Вскꙋ́ю бою́сѧ въ де́нь лю́тъ; беззако́нїе пѧты̀ моеѧ̀ ѡ҆бы́детъ мѧ̀.

⁷

They that trust in their strength, and boast themselves in the multitude of their wealth—

⁷

Надѣ́ющїисѧ на си́лꙋ свою̀ и҆ ѡ҆ мно́жествѣ бога́тства своегѡ̀ хва́лѧщїисѧ:

⁸

A brother does not redeem, shall a man redeem? he shall not give to God a ransom for himself,

⁸

бра́тъ не и҆зба́витъ, и҆зба́витъ ли человѣ́къ; не да́стъ бг҃ꙋ и҆змѣ́ны за сѧ̀,

⁹

or the price of the redemption of his soul, though he labour for ever,

⁹

и҆ цѣ́нꙋ и҆збавле́нїѧ дꙋшѝ своеѧ̀: и҆ оу҆трꙋди́сѧ въ вѣ́къ,

¹⁰

and live to the end, so that he should not see corruption.

¹⁰

и҆ жи́въ бꙋ́детъ до конца̀, не оу҆́зритъ па́гꙋбы.

¹¹

When he shall see wise men dying, the fool and the senseless one shall perish together; and they shall leave their wealth to strangers.

¹¹

Є҆гда̀ оу҆ви́дитъ премꙋ̑дрыѧ оу҆мира́ющыѧ, вкꙋ́пѣ безꙋ́менъ и҆ несмы́сленъ поги́бнꙋтъ, и҆ ѡ҆ста́вѧтъ чꙋжди̑мъ бога́тство своѐ.

¹²

And their sepulchres are their houses for ever, even their tabernacles to all generations: they have called their lands after their own names.

¹²

И҆ гро́би и҆́хъ жили̑ща и҆́хъ во вѣ́къ, селє́нїѧ и҆́хъ въ ро́дъ и҆ ро́дъ, нареко́ша и҆мена̀ своѧ̑ на землѧ́хъ.

¹³

And man being in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like to them.

¹³

И҆ человѣ́къ въ че́сти сы́й не разꙋмѣ̀, приложи́сѧ скотѡ́мъ несмы́слєннымъ и҆ оу҆подо́бисѧ и҆̀мъ.

¹⁴

This their way is an offence to them: yet afterwards men will commend their sayings. Pause.

¹⁴

Се́й пꙋ́ть и҆́хъ собла́знъ и҆̀мъ, и҆ по си́хъ во оу҆стѣ́хъ свои́хъ благоволѧ́тъ.

¹⁵

They have laid them as sheep in Hades; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, and their help shall fail in Hades from their glory.

¹⁵

Ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́вцы во а҆́дѣ положе́ни сꙋ́ть, сме́рть оу҆пасе́тъ ѧ҆̀: и҆ ѡ҆блада́ютъ и҆́ми пра́вїи заꙋ́тра, и҆ по́мощь и҆́хъ ѡ҆бетша́етъ во а҆́дѣ: ѿ сла́вы своеѧ̀ и҆зринове́ни бы́ша.

¹⁶

But God shall deliver my soul from the power of Hades, when he shall receive me. Pause.

¹⁶

Ѻ҆ба́че бг҃ъ и҆зба́витъ дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀ и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ а҆́довы, є҆гда̀ прїе́млетъ мѧ̀.

¹⁷

Fear not when a man is enriched, and when the glory of his house is increased.

¹⁷

Не оу҆бо́йсѧ, є҆гда̀ разбогатѣ́етъ человѣ́къ, и҆лѝ є҆гда̀ оу҆мно́житсѧ сла́ва до́мꙋ є҆гѡ̀:

¹⁸

For he shall take nothing when he dies; neither shall his glory descend with him.

¹⁸

ꙗ҆́кѡ внегда̀ оу҆мре́ти є҆мꙋ̀, не во́зметъ всѧ̑, нижѐ сни́детъ съ ни́мъ сла́ва є҆гѡ̀.

¹⁹

For his soul shall be blessed in his life: he shall give thanks to thee when thou dost well to him.

¹⁹

Ꙗ҆́кѡ дꙋша̀ є҆гѡ̀ въ животѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀ благослови́тсѧ, и҆сповѣ́стсѧ тебѣ̀, є҆гда̀ благосотвори́ши є҆мꙋ̀.

²⁰

Yet he shall go in to the generation of his fathers; he shall never see light.

²⁰

Вни́детъ да́же до ро́да ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ, да́же до вѣ́ка не оу҆́зритъ свѣ́та.

²¹

Man that is in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like them.

²¹

И҆ человѣ́къ въ че́сти сы́й не разꙋмѣ̀, приложи́сѧ скотѡ́мъ несмы́слєннымъ и҆ оу҆подо́бисѧ и҆̀мъ.
