¹

I will thank thee, O Lord and King, and praise thee, O God my Saviour: I do give praise unto thy name:

¹

Моли1тва їисyса сhна сірaхова. И#сповёмсz тебЁ, гDи цRю2, и3 восхвалю2 тебE, бGа сп7са моего2, и3сповёдаюсz и4мени твоемY,

²

for thou art my defender and helper, and hast preserved my body from destruction, and from the snare of the slanderous tongue, and from the lips that forge lies, and hast been mine helper against mine adversaries:

²

ћкw покрови1тель и3 пом0щникъ бhлъ є3си2 ми2

³

and hast delivered me, according to the multitude of thy mercies and greatness of thy name, from the teeth of them that were ready to devour me, and out of the hands of such as sought after my life, and from the manifold afflictions which I had;

³

и3 и3збaвилъ є3си2 тёло моE t пaгубы и3 t сёти клеветы2 љзhчныz, t ўстeнъ дёлающихъ лжY, и3 на проти1вzщихсz ми2 бhлъ є3си2 пом0щникъ,

⁴

from the choking of fire on every side, and from the midst of the fire which I kindled not;

⁴

и3 и3збaвилъ мS є3си2 по мн0жеству млcти и4мене твоегw2 t скрежетaніz гот0выхъ снёсти мS,

⁵

from the depth of the belly of hell, from an unclean tongue, and from lying words.

⁵

и3з8 руки2 и4щущихъ души2 моеS, t мн0гихъ скорбeй, ±же и3мёхъ,

⁶

By an accusation to the king from an unrighteous tongue my soul drew near even unto death, my life was near to the hell beneath.

⁶

t стужaніz џгненнагw w4крестъ и3 t среды2 nгнS, и3дёже не сожег0хсz,

⁷

They compassed me on every side, and there was no man to help me: I looked for the succour of men, but there was none.

⁷

и3з8 глубины2 чрeва ѓдова и3 t љзhка нечи1ста и3 словесE л0жна, ко царю2 t њболгaніz љзhка непрaведна.

⁸

Then thought I upon thy mercy, O Lord, and upon thy acts of old, how thou deliverest such as wait for thee, and savest them out of the hands of the enemies.

⁸

Прибли1жисz дaже до смeрти душA моS,

⁹

Then lifted I up my supplication from the earth, and prayed for deliverance from death.

⁹

и3 жив0тъ м0й бЁ бли1з8 ѓда преисп0днzгw.

¹⁰

I called upon the Lord, the Father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the days of my trouble, and in the time of the proud, when there was no help.

¹⁰

Њбдержaша мS tвсю1ду, и3 не бЁ помогaющагw: воззрёхъ на п0мощь человёчу, и3 не бЁ.

¹¹

I will praise thy name continually, and will sing praise with thanksgiving; and so my prayer was heard:

¹¹

И# помzнyхъ млcть твою2, гDи, и3 дэsніе твоE, є4же t вёка:

¹²

for thou savedst me from destruction, and deliveredst me from the evil time: therefore will I give thanks, and praise thee, and bless thy name, O Lord.

¹²

ћкw и3з8имaеши терпsщихъ тS, (гDи,) и3 сп7сaеши и5хъ t рyкъ врaжіихъ.

¹³

When I was yet young, or ever I went abroad, I desired wisdom openly in my prayer.

¹³

И# вознес0хъ t земли2 молeніе моE и3 њ и3збавлeніи t смeрти помоли1хсz:

¹⁴

I prayed for her before the temple, and will seek her out even to the end.

¹⁴

и3 призвaхъ гDа, nц7A гDа моегw2, не њстaвити менE во дни6 ск0рби, во врeмz г0рдыхъ без8 п0мощи.

¹⁵

Even from the flower till the grape was ripe hath my heart delighted in her: my foot went the right way, from my youth up sought I after her.

¹⁵

Восхвалю2 и4мz твоE непрестaннw и3 воспою2 тS во и3сповёданіи. И# ўслhшана бhсть моли1тва моS.

¹⁶

I bowed down mine ear a little, and received her, and gat much learning.

¹⁶

Спcлъ бо мS є3си2 t пaгубы и3 и3з8sлъ є3си2 мS t врeмене лукaвна.

¹⁷

I profited therein, therefore will I ascribe the glory unto him that giveth me wisdom.

¹⁷

Сегw2 рaди и3сповёмсz тебЁ, и3 восхвалю2 тS, и3 бlгословлю2 и4мz твоE, гDи.

¹⁸

For I purposed to do after her, and earnestly I followed that which is good; so shall I not be confounded.

¹⁸

Е#щE ю4нъ сhй, прeжде нeже стрaнствовати ми2, и3скaхъ премyдрости ћвэ въ моли1твэ моeй:

¹⁹

My soul hath wrestled with her, and in my doings I was exact: I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, and bewailed my ignorances of her.

¹⁹

пред8 цeрковію моли1хсz њ нeй, и3 дaже до послёднихъ взыщY є3S: t цвёта, ћкw зрёющагw гр0зда,

²⁰

I directed my soul unto her, and I found her in pureness: I have had my heart joined with her from the beginning, therefore shall I not be forsaken.

²⁰

возвесели1сz сeрдце моE њ нeй: п0йде ногA моS въ прaвости, t ю4ности моеS и3зслёдихъ ю5.

²¹

My heart was troubled in seeking her: therefore have I gotten a good possession.

²¹

Приклони1хъ мaлw ќхо моE и3 пріsхъ, и3 мн0гое њбрэт0хъ себЁ наказaніе:

²²

The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, and I will praise him therewith.

²²

пред8успёzніе бhсть ми2 въ нeй.

²³

Draw near unto me, ye unlearned, and dwell in the house of learning.

²³

Даю1щему мнЁ премdрость воздaмъ слaву.

²⁴

Wherefore are ye slow, and what say ye of these things, seeing your souls are very thirsty?

²⁴

Ўмhслихъ бо твори1ти ю5, и3 поревновaхъ благ0му, и3 не постыжyсz.

²⁵

I opened my mouth, and said, Buy her for yourselves without money.

²⁵

Борsшесz душA моS њ нeй, и3 въ творeніи моeмъ и3спытaхъ:

²⁶

Put your neck under the yoke, and let your soul receive instruction: she is hard at hand to find.

²⁶

рyцэ мои2 воздёхъ на высотY и3 невBдэніz є3S ўразумёхъ.

²⁷

Behold with your eyes, how that I have had but little labour, and have gotten unto me much rest.

²⁷

Дyшу мою2 напрaвихъ къ нeй,

²⁸

Get learning with a great sum of money, and get much gold by her.

²⁸

сeрдце стzжaхъ съ нeю и3спeрва, и3 во њчищeніи њбрэт0хъ ю5: сегw2 рaди не њстaвленъ бyду.

²⁹

Let your soul rejoice in his mercy, and be not ashamed of his praise.

²⁹

И# ўтр0ба моS смzтeсz и4щущи є3S: тёмже стzжaхъ благ0е стzжaніе.

³⁰

Work your work betimes, and in his time he will give you your reward.

³⁰

ДадE гDь љзhкъ ми2 мздY мою2, и3 тёмъ восхвалю2 є3го2.
