¹

O death, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that liveth at rest in his possessions, unto the man that hath nothing to vex him, and that hath prosperity in all things: yea, unto him that is yet able to receive meat!

¹

Q=^ смeрте, к0ль горькA твоS є4сть пaмzть человёку ми1рнw во и3мёніихъ свои1хъ живyщу,

²

O death, acceptable is thy sentence unto the needy, and unto him whose strength faileth, that is now in the last age, and is vexed with all things, and to him that despaireth, and hath lost patience!

²

мyжеви не пекyщусz и3 благополyчну во всёхъ, и3 є3щE возмогaющу пріsти пи1щу.

³

Fear not the sentence of death, remember them that have been before thee, and that come after; for this is the sentence of the Lord over all flesh.

³

Q=^, смeрте, д0бръ сyдъ тв0й є4сть человёку трeбующему и3 ўмалsющусz крёпостію,

⁴

And why art thou against the pleasure of the most High? there is no inquisition in the grave, whether thou have lived ten, or an hundred, or a thousand years.

⁴

въ послёдней стaрости сyщему и3 пекyщусz њ всёхъ, и3 невёрствующу и3 погуби1вшу терпёніе.

⁵

The children of sinners are abominable children, and they that are conversant in the dwelling of the ungodly.

⁵

Не б0йсz судA смeрти: помzни2 пє1рваz тво‰ и3 послBднzz, сeй бо сyдъ t гDа всsцэй пл0ти.

⁶

The inheritance of sinners' children shall perish, and from their posterity shall be a perpetual reproach.

⁶

И# почто2 tмeщешисz бlговолeніz вhшнzгw; ѓще дeсzть, ѓще сто2, ѓще тhсzща лётъ,

⁷

The children will complain of an ungodly father, because they will be reproached for his sake.

⁷

нёсть во ѓдэ њбличeніz животA.

⁸

Who be unto you, ungodly men, which have forsaken the law of the most high God! for if ye increase, it shall be to your destruction:

⁸

Ч†да бывaютъ мє1рзка ч†да грёшникwвъ, и3 жив{щаz въ селeніихъ нечести1выхъ:

⁹

and if ye be born, ye shall be born to a curse: and if ye die, a curse shall be your portion.

⁹

ч†дъ грёшныхъ поги1бнетъ наслёдіе, и3 съ сёменемъ и4хъ вhну поношeніе.

¹⁰

All that are of the earth shall turn to earth again: so the ungodly shall go from a curse to destruction.

¹⁰

NтцA нечести1ва ўкорsтъ ч†да, ћкw є3гw2 рaди поношeніе пріи1мутъ.

¹¹

The mourning of men is about their bodies: but an ill name of sinners shall be blotted out.

¹¹

Г0ре вaмъ, мyжіе нечести1віи, и4же њстaвисте зак0нъ бGа вhшнzгw:

¹²

Have regard to thy name; for that shall continue with thee above a thousand great treasures of gold.

¹²

и3 ѓще родитeсz, на клsтву родитeсz: и3 ѓще ќмрете, въ клsтву раздэлeни бyдете.

¹³

A good life hath but few days: but a good name endureth for ever.

¹³

Вс‰, є3ли6ка t земли2, въ зeмлю п0йдутъ: тaкожде нечести1віи t клsтвы въ пaгубу.

¹⁴

My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is in them both?

¹⁴

Сётованіе человёкwвъ въ тэлесёхъ и4хъ: и4мz же грёшникwвъ неблаг0е потреби1тсz.

¹⁵

A man that hideth his foolishness is better than a man that hideth his wisdom.

¹⁵

Пецhсz њ и4мени, т0 бо ти2 пребывaетъ пaче тhсzщъ вели1кихъ сокр0вищъ злaта.

¹⁶

Therefore be shamefaced according to my word: for it is not good to retain all shamefacedness; neither is it altogether approved in every thing.

¹⁶

Благaгw житіS число2 днjй, и3 д0брое и4мz во вёки пребывaетъ.

¹⁷

Be ashamed of whoredom before father and mother: and of a lie before a prince and a mighty man;

¹⁷

Наказaніе въ ми1рэ соблюди1те, ч†да: премyдрость же сокровeнна и3 сокр0вище неzвлeнно, кaz п0льза во nбои1хъ;

¹⁸

of an offence before a judge and ruler; of iniquity before a congregation and people; of unjust dealing before thy partner and friend;

¹⁸

Лyчше человёкъ скрывazй бyйство своE, нeжели человёкъ скрывazй премyдрость свою2.

¹⁹

and of theft in regard of the place where thou sojournest, and in regard of the truth of God and his covenant; and to lean with thine elbow upon the meat; and of scorning to give and take;

¹⁹

Тёмже u5бо ўсрами1тесz словeсъ мои1хъ:

²⁰

and of silence before them that salute thee; and to look upon an harlot;

²⁰

нёсть бо блaго всsкъ срaмъ сохранsти, и3 не вс‰ всBмъ въ вёрэ благоволsтсz.

²¹

and to turn away thy face from thy kinsman; or to take away a portion or a gift; or to gaze upon another man's wife;

²¹

Стыди1тесz пред8 nтцeмъ и3 мaтерію њ блудЁ и3 пред8 си1льнымъ и3 властели1номъ њ лжи2,

²²

or to be overbusy with his maid, and come not near her bed; or of upbraiding speeches before friends; and after thou hast given, upbraid not;

²²

пред8 судіeю и3 кнsземъ њ согрэшeніи, пред8 соб0ромъ и3 людьми2 њ беззак0ніи,

²³

Or of iterating and speaking again that which thou hast heard; and of revealing of secrets;

²³

пред8 џбщникомъ и3 дрyгомъ њ непрaвдэ, и3 на мёстэ, и3дёже живeши, њ татьбЁ,

²⁴

so shalt thou be truly shamefaced, and find favour before all men.
