¹

Of these things be not thou ashamed, and accept no person to sin thereby:

¹

Не стыди́сѧ ѡ҆ си́хъ и҆ не прїимѝ лица̀, є҆́же согрѣша́ти:

²

of the law of the most High, and his covenant; and of judgment to justify the ungodly;

²

ѡ҆ зако́нѣ вы́шнѧгѡ и҆ завѣ́тѣ, и҆ ѡ҆ сꙋдѣ̀, є҆́же ѡ҆правда́ти нечести́ваго,

³

of reckoning with thy partners and travellers; or of the gift of the heritage of friends;

³

ѡ҆ словесѝ соѻбщника и҆ ѡ҆ пꙋ́тницѣхъ, и҆ ѡ҆ даѧ́нїи наслѣ́дїѧ дрꙋгѡ́въ,

⁴

of exactness of balance and weights; or of getting much or little;

⁴

ѡ҆ и҆́стинѣ мѣ́рила и҆ вѣ́сѡвъ, ѡ҆ стѧжа́нїи мно́гихъ и҆ ма́лыхъ,

⁵

and of merchants' indifferent selling; of much correction of children; and to make the side of an evil servant to bleed.

⁵

ѡ҆ разли́чїи продаѧ́нїѧ кꙋпцє́въ и҆ ѡ҆ наказа́нїи мно́зѣ ча̑дъ, и҆ є҆́же рабꙋ̀ лꙋка́вꙋ ре́бра ѡ҆крова́вити.

⁶

Sure keeping is good, where an evil wife is; and locked up, where many hands are.

⁶

На женѣ̀ лꙋка́вѣ добро̀ (є҆́сть) печа́ть, и҆ и҆дѣ́же мнѡ́ги рꙋ́ки, затворѝ.

⁷

Deliver all things in number and weight; and put all in writing that thou givest out, or receivest in.

⁷

Є҆́же а҆́ще преда́си, въ число̀ и҆ мѣ́рꙋ, да́ждь и҆ возмѝ всѐ писа́нїемъ.

⁸

Be not ashamed to inform the unwise and foolish, and the extreme aged that contendeth with those that are young: thus shalt thou be truly learned, and approved of all men living.

⁸

Ѡ҆ наказа́нїи неразꙋ́мива и҆ бꙋ́ѧгѡ, и҆ престарѣ́лагѡ сꙋдѧ́щагѡсѧ съ ю҆́ными, и҆ бꙋ́деши нака́занъ и҆́стиннѡ и҆ и҆скꙋше́нъ пред̾ всѧ́кимъ живꙋ́щимъ.

⁹

A daughter is a wakeful care to a father; and the care for her taketh away sleep: when she is young, lest she pass away the flower of her age; and being married, lest she should be hated:

⁹

Дще́рь ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ сокрове́нно бдѣ́нїе, и҆ попече́нїе ѡ҆ не́й ѿгонѧ́етъ со́нъ: во ю҆́ности свое́й да не когда̀ презрѣ́етъ и҆ сожи́телствꙋющи (съ мꙋ́жемъ), да не когда̀ возненави́дѣна бꙋ́детъ:

¹⁰

in her virginity, lest she should be defiled and gotten with child in her father's house; and having an husband, lest she should misbehave herself; and when she is married, lest she should be barren.

¹⁰

въ дѣ́вствѣ да не когда̀ ѡ҆скверни́тсѧ и҆ во ѻ҆́тчихъ є҆ѧ̀ непра́здна бꙋ́детъ, и҆ съ мꙋ́жемъ сꙋ́щи да не когда̀ престꙋ́питъ и҆ сожи́телствꙋющи да не когда̀ непло́ды бꙋ́детъ.

¹¹

Keep a sure watch over a shameless daughter, lest she make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies, and a byword in the city, and a reproach among the people, and make thee ashamed before the multitude.

¹¹

Над̾ дще́рїю безстꙋ́дною оу҆твердѝ стра́жꙋ, да не когда̀ сотвори́тъ тѧ̀ ѡ҆бра́дованїе врагѡ́мъ, бесѣ́дꙋ во гра́дѣ и҆ ѿлꙋче́наго ѿ люді́й, и҆ посрами́тъ тѧ̀ въ наро́дѣ мно́зѣ.

¹²

Behold not everybody's beauty, and sit not in the midst of women.

¹²

Не взира́й на добро́тꙋ всѧ́кагѡ человѣ́ка и҆ посредѣ̀ же́нъ не сѣдѝ:

¹³

For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness.

¹³

ѿ ри́зъ бо и҆схо́дитъ мо́лїе, и҆ ѿ жены̀ лꙋка́вство же́нское.

¹⁴

Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, which bringeth shame and reproach.

¹⁴

Лꙋ́чше ѕло́ба мꙋ́жеска, не́жели добродѣ́телнаѧ жена̀, и҆ жена̀ посрамлѧ́ющаѧ въ поноше́нїе.

¹⁵

I will now remember the works of the Lord, and declare the things that I have seen: In the words of the Lord are his works.

¹⁵

Помѧнꙋ̀ оу҆̀бо дѣла̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ, и҆ ꙗ҆̀же ви́дѣхъ, повѣ́мъ: во словесѣ́хъ гдⷭ҇нихъ дѣла̀ є҆гѡ̀:

¹⁶

The sun that giveth light looketh upon all things, and the work thereof is full of the glory of the Lord.

¹⁶

со́лнце просвѣща́ѧ на всѧ̑ призрѣ̀, и҆ сла́вы є҆гѡ̀ и҆спо́лнено дѣ́ло є҆гѡ̀.

¹⁷

The Lord hath not given power to the saints to declare all his marvellous works, which the Almighty Lord firmly settled, that whatsoever is might be established for his glory.

¹⁷

Не сотворѝ ли ст҃ы̑мъ гдⷭ҇ь повѣ́дати всѧ̑ чꙋдеса̀ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆̀же оу҆твердѝ гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель, оу҆тверди́тисѧ всемꙋ̀ во сла́вѣ є҆гѡ̀;

¹⁸

He seeketh out the deep, and the heart, and considereth their crafty devices: for the Lord knoweth all that can be known, and he beholdeth the signs of the world,

¹⁸

Бе́зднꙋ и҆ се́рдце и҆зслѣ́дова и҆ въ кова́рствѣхъ и҆́хъ размы́сли: разꙋмѣ̀ бо гдⷭ҇ь всѧ́ко вѣ́дѣнїе и҆ призрѣ̀ на зна́менїе вѣ́ка,

¹⁹

declaring the things that are past, and for to come, and revealing the steps of hidden things.

¹⁹

возвѣща́ѧ мимошє́дшаѧ и҆ бꙋ̑дꙋщаѧ и҆ ѿкрыва́ѧ слѣды̀ та́йныхъ:

²⁰

No thought escapeth him, neither any word is hidden from him.

²⁰

не пре́йде є҆гѡ̀ всѧ́ко помышле́нїе, не оу҆таи́сѧ ѿ негѡ̀ ни є҆ди́но сло́во.

²¹

He hath garnished the excellent works of his wisdom, and he is from everlasting to everlasting: unto him may nothing be added, neither can he be diminished, and he hath no need of any counsellor.

²¹

Вели̑чїѧ премꙋ́дрости своеѧ̀ оу҆красѝ: и҆́же є҆́сть пре́жде вѣ́ка и҆ во вѣ́къ,

²²

Oh how desirable are all his works! and that a man may see even to a spark.

²²

ни приложи́сѧ, ни оу҆ма́лисѧ и҆ не востре́бова ни є҆ди́нагѡ совѣ́тника.

²³

All these things live and remain for ever for all uses, and they are all obedient.

²³

Ко́ль всѧ̑ дѣла̀ є҆гѡ̀ вожделѣ̑нна, и҆ да́же до и҆́скры є҆́сть ви́дѣти.

²⁴

All things are double one against another: and he hath made nothing imperfect.

²⁴

Всѧ̑ сїѧ̑ живꙋ́тъ и҆ пребыва́ютъ во вѣ́къ во всѣ́хъ тре́бованїихъ, и҆ всѧ̑ послꙋ́шаютъ.

²⁵

One thing establisheth the good of another: and who shall be filled with beholding his glory?

²⁵

Всѧ̑ сꙋгꙋ̑ба, є҆ди́но проти́вꙋ є҆ди́нагѡ: и҆ не сотворѝ ничто́же скꙋ́дно.
