¹

Instead of a friend become not an enemy; for thereby thou shalt inherit an ill name, shame, and reproach: even so shall a sinner that hath a double tongue.

¹

И# вмёстw дрyга не бyди врaгъ, и4мz бо лукaво стyдъ и3 поношeніе наслёдитъ: си1це грёшникъ двоzзhченъ.

Не возноси2 себE совётомъ души2 твоеS, да не расхищeна бyдетъ ѓки ю3нeцъ душA твоS:

³

Thou shalt eat up thy leaves, and lose thy fruit, and leave thyself as a dry tree.

If thou wouldest get a friend, prove him first, and be not hasty to credit him.

⁷

Ѓще стsжеши дрyга, во и3скушeніи стzжи2 є3го2 и3 не ск0рw ўвёрисz є3мY:

For some man is a friend for his own occasion, and will not abide in the day of thy trouble.

⁸

є4сть бо дрyгъ во врeмz своE и3 не пребyдетъ во врeмz ск0рби твоеS,

⁹

And there is a friend, who being turned to enmity and strife will discover thy reproach.

и3 є4сть дрyгъ џбщникъ трапeзамъ и3 не пребyдетъ во врeмz ск0рби твоеS:

¹¹

But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself, and will be bold over thy servants.

¹¹

и3 во благи1хъ твои1хъ бyдетъ ћкоже ты2 и3 на рабы6 тво‰ дeрзнетъ:

¹²

If thou be brought low, he will be against thee, and will hide himself from thy face.

¹²

ѓще смирeнъ бyдеши, бyдетъ на тS и3 t лицA твоегw2 скрhетсz.

Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy friends.

A faithful friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure.

Come unto her as one that ploweth and soweth, and wait for her good fruits: for thou shalt not toil much in labouring about her, but thou shalt eat of her fruits right soon.

¹⁹

Ћкоже њрsй и3 сёzй приступи2 къ нeй и3 жди2 благи1хъ плодHвъ є3S:

²⁰

She is very unpleasant to the unlearned: he that is without understanding will not remain with her.

²⁰

въ дёланіи бо є3S мaлw потруди1шисz и3 ск0рw ћсти бyдеши плоды2 є3S.

²¹

She will lie upon him as a mighty stone of trial; and he will cast her from him ere it be long.

²¹

К0ль стр0потна є4сть ѕэлw2 ненак†заннымъ, и3 не пребyдетъ въ нeй безyмный:

²²

For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many.

Give ear, my son, receive my advice, and refuse not my counsel,

For at the last thou shalt find her rest, and that shall be turned to thy joy.

²⁸

И#зслёди и3 взыщи2, и3 познaна ти2 бyдетъ, и3 є4мьсz за ню2 не њстaви є3S:

Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and her chains a robe of glory.

If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding: and if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise.

Stand in the multitude of the elders; and cleave unto him that is wise.

³⁶

And if thou seest a man of understanding, get thee betimes unto him, and let thy foot wear the steps of his door.

³⁶

Ѓще ќзриши разyмна, ќтренюй къ немY, и3 степє1ни двeрій є3гw2 да трeтъ ногA твоS.

Let thy mind be upon the ordinances of the Lord, and meditate continually in his commandments: he shall establish thine heart, and give thee wisdom at thine own desire.
