¹

Love righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek him.

¹

Возлюби́те пра́вдꙋ, сꙋдѧ́щїи зе́млю: мꙋ́дрствꙋйте ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ въ благосты́ни и҆ въ простотѣ̀ се́рдца взыщи́те є҆го̀:

²

For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and sheweth himself unto such as do not distrust him.

²

ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брѣта́етсѧ не и҆скꙋша́ющымъ є҆го̀, ꙗ҆влѧ́етсѧ же не невѣ́рꙋющымъ є҆мꙋ̀.

³

For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise.

³

Стропти̑ваѧ бо помышлє́нїѧ ѿлꙋча́ютъ ѿ бг҃а: и҆скꙋша́емаѧ си́ла ѡ҆блича́етъ безꙋ́мныхъ.

⁴

For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter: nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin.

⁴

Ꙗ҆́кѡ въ ѕлохꙋдо́жнꙋ дꙋ́шꙋ не вни́детъ премꙋ́дрость, нижѐ ѡ҆бита́етъ въ тѣлесѝ пови́ннѣмъ грѣхꙋ̀:

⁵

For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in.

⁵

ст҃ы́й бо дх҃ъ наказа́нїѧ ѿбѣжи́тъ льсти́ва и҆ ѿи́метсѧ ѿ помышле́нїй неразꙋ́мныхъ и҆ ѡ҆бличи́тсѧ ѿ находѧ́щїѧ непра́вды.

⁶

For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.

⁶

Человѣколюби́въ бо дꙋ́хъ премꙋ́дрости и҆ не ѡ҆безвини́тъ хꙋ́льника ѿ оу҆сте́нъ є҆гѡ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ внꙋ́треннихъ є҆гѡ̀ свидѣ́тель є҆́сть бг҃ъ и҆ се́рдца є҆гѡ̀ и҆спыта́тель и҆́стиненъ и҆ ѧ҆зы́ка слы́шатель:

⁷

For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world: and that which containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice.

⁷

ꙗ҆́кѡ дх҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень и҆спо́лни вселе́ннꙋю, и҆ содержа́й всѧ̑ ра́зꙋмъ и҆́мать гла́са.

⁸

Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things cannot be hidden: neither shall vengeance, when it punisheth, pass by him.

⁸

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди вѣща́ѧй непра́вєднаѧ никто́же оу҆таи́тсѧ, и҆ не ми́мѡ и҆́детъ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆блича́ющь сꙋ́дъ.

⁹

For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the ungodly: and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord for the manifestation of his wicked deeds.

⁹

Въ совѣ́тѣхъ бо нечести́вагѡ и҆стѧза́нїе бꙋ́детъ, слове́съ же є҆гѡ̀ слы́шанїе ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ прїи́детъ во ѡ҆бличе́нїе беззако́нїй є҆гѡ̀:

¹⁰

For the ear of jealousy heareth all things: and the noise of murmurings is not hid.

¹⁰

ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆́хо рве́нїѧ слы́шитъ всѧ̑, и҆ молва̀ ропта́нїй не кры́етсѧ.

¹¹

Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable; and refrain your tongue from backbiting: for there is no word so secret, that shall go for nought: and the mouth that belieth slayeth the soul.

¹¹

Храни́тесѧ оу҆̀бо ѿ ропта́нїѧ неполе́зна и҆ ѿ ѡ҆болга́нїѧ щади́те ѧ҆зы́къ: ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣща́нїе та́йное тщѐ не пре́йдетъ, оу҆ста̀ же лжꙋ̑щаѧ оу҆бива́ютъ дꙋ́шꙋ.

¹²

Seek not death in the error of your life: and pull not upon yourselves destruction with the works of your hands.

¹²

Не вожделѣ́йте сме́рти въ заблꙋжде́нїи живота̀ ва́шегѡ, нижѐ привлека́йте поги́бели дѣла́ми рꙋ́къ ва́шихъ:

¹³

For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living.

¹³

ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ сме́рти не сотворѝ, ни весели́тсѧ ѡ҆ поги́бели живы́хъ.

¹⁴

For he created all things, that they might have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth:

¹⁴

Созда́ бо во є҆́же бы́ти всѣ̑мъ, и҆ спаси́тєлны бытїѧ̑ мі́ра, ни бо̀ є҆́сть въ ни́хъ врачева́нїѧ гꙋби́телнагѡ, нижѐ а҆́дꙋ ца́рствїѧ на землѝ.

¹⁵

(for righteousness is immortal:)

¹⁵

Пра́вда бо безсме́ртна є҆́сть: (непра́вда же сме́рти снабдѣ́нїе:)

¹⁶

but ungodly men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.

¹⁶

нечести́вїи же рꙋка́ма и҆ словесы̀ призва́ша ю҆̀, дрꙋги́ню вмѣни́ша ю҆̀ и҆ и҆ста́ѧша, и҆ завѣ́тъ положи́ша съ не́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ досто́йни сꙋ́ть ѻ҆́ноѧ ча́сти бы́ти.
