¹

When thou wilt do good, know to whom thou doest it; so shalt thou be thanked for thy benefits.

¹

Аще добро` сътвори'ши разђмњи комђ твори'ши, и^ бђдетъ блгDть бл~гыM твоиM”

²

Do good to the godly man, and thou shalt find a recompence; and if not from him, yet from the most High.

²

добро` сътвори бл~говᲇрномђ, и^ ѓ^бря'щеши въздаа'нїе, да а^ще не эT него` то эT вы'шняго.

³

There can no good come to him that is always occupied in evil, nor to him that giveth no alms.

³

не бђдетъ добро` прилежа'щемђ въ ꙁл^о, и^ не пода'ющемђ млsтыни.

⁴

Give to the godly man, and help not a sinner.

⁴

даждь бл~говњрномђ и^ не ꙁастђпа'и грњш#ника,

⁵

Do well unto him that is lowly, but give not to the ungodly: hold back thy bread, and give it not unto him, lest he overmaster thee thereby: for else thou shalt receive twice as much evil for all the good thou shalt have done unto him.

⁵

добро` сътвори смиренномђ а^ не да'ждь нечесᲄи'вомђ” Въꙁбрани` хлњба е^мђ и^ не да'ждь е^го, да не тMњ т^я премо'жетъ”

⁶

For the most High hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance unto the ungodly, and keepeth them against the mighty day of their punishment.

⁶

сђ'гђба б^о зл^а ѓ^бря'щеши въ всњхъ блаꙁњхъ ја^же а^ще сътвори'ши е^мђ” ЈА/ко вы'шнїи възненавидњ грњшники и^ нечесᲄивыM воꙁда'сть ме'сть”

⁷

Give unto the good, and help not the sinner.

⁷

даждь бл~гомђ и^ не ꙁастђпа'и грњшника.

⁸

A friend cannot be known in prosperity: and an enemy cannot be hidden in adversity.

⁸

не мщенᲆ бђ'детъ въ бла'ѕњ дрђгъ, и^ не скрыеTся въ злы'хъ врагъ.

⁹

In the prosperity of a man enemies will be grieved: but in his adversity even a friend will depart.

⁹

е^гда` въ добрњ бђдетъ мђжъ, вра'ѕи е^го в печа'ли сђть, и^ въ злњ` е^го дрhђ раꙁлђчиTся”

¹⁰

Never trust thine enemy: for like as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness.

¹⁰

Не и%ми вњры врагђ свое^мђ въ вњки, ја%коже б^о мњ'дь ѓ^ржа'вње^тъ тако и^ зло'ба е^го.

¹¹

Though he humble himself, and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him, and thou shalt be unto him as if thou hadst wiped a looking-glass, and thou shalt know that his rust hath not been altogether wiped away.

¹¹

и^ а'ще смирится т^о пои^детъ пони'кши ѓ^ста'ви дш~ђ свою`, и^ хранися эT него. и^ бђдеши е^мђ ја%ко ѓ^цыщено ꙁерцало, и^ раꙁђмњ'еши ја%ко не до конца ѓ^ржавњлъ.

¹²

Set him not by thee, lest, when he hath overthrown thee, he stand up in thy place; neither let him sit at thy right hand, lest he seek to take thy seat, and thou at the last remember my words, and be pricked therewith.

¹²

не поста'ви е^го ё^ себе`, да не възринђвъ т^я ста'неT на мњстњ твоеM” не посади е^го ѓ^де'снђю себе`, да не пои%щетъ когда` сњда'лища твоего. и^ на по'слњдь раꙁђмњ'еши словеса` моа`, и^ ѓ^ гл~њ моеM ё^милишися” Не съвя'зђи два'щи грњха, въ е^ді'номъ б^о не и^звинишися.

¹³

Who will pity a charmer that is bitten with a serpent, or any such as come nigh wild beasts?

¹³

кт^о поми'лђетъ ѓ^баа'нники и^ змїемъ ё^секнена, и^ всњхъ пристђпа'ющихъ къ ѕвњреM” Та'коже ходя'щаго съ мђжемъ грњшникомъ, и^ примњша'ющагося грᲇсехъ е^го”

¹⁴

So one that goeth to a sinner, and is defiled with him in his sins, who will pity?

¹⁴

Ча'съ с тобо'ю пребђдеT, и^ а^ще ё^клони'шися не сътръпиT.

¹⁵

For a while he will abide with thee, but if thou begin to fall, he will not tarry.

¹⁵

ё^стнама свои'ма ё^сладится враh, и^ мно'го пошепчетъ, и^ речетъ добро` гл~я” ѓ^чима свои'ма прослеꙁится и^ срDцемъ свои^мъ съвњтђ'етъ вринђти т^я в ровъ, и^ е^гда ѓ^бря'щетъ время не насы'тится кро'ве”

¹⁶

An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he imagineth how to throw thee into a pit: he will weep with his eyes, but if he find opportunity, he will not be satisfied with blood.

¹⁶

А$ще сря'щетъ т^я зло`, т^ђ ѓ^бря'щеши е^го прьвње себе`,

¹⁷

If adversity come upon thee, thou shalt find him there first; and though he pretend to help thee, yet shall he undermine thee.

¹⁷

и^ ја^ко помага'я прораꙁитъ пя'тђ твою.

¹⁸

He will shake his head, and clap his hands, and whisper much, and change his countenance.

¹⁸

покива'етъ главо'ю свое'ю и^ въсплещетъ рђка'ма свои'ма, и^ мно'го пошепчетъ и^ꙁмᲇнитъ лице е^го”
