¹

Hear therefore, O ye kings, and understand; learn, ye that be judges of the ends of the earth.

¹

Слhшите u5бо, цaріе, и3 разумёйте: научи1тесz, судіи6 концє1въ земли2:

²

Give ear, ye that rule the people, and glory in the multitude of nations.

²

внуши1те, содержaщіи мнHжества и3 гордsщіисz њ нар0дэхъ kзhкwвъ:

³

For power is given you of the Lord, and sovereignty from the Highest, who shall try your works, and search out your counsels.

³

ћкw данA є4сть t гDа держaва вaмъ и3 си1ла t вhшнzгw, и4же и3стsжетъ дэлA в†ша и3 помышлє1ніz и3спытaетъ:

⁴

Because, being ministers of his kingdom, ye have not judged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the counsel of God;

⁴

ћкw слузи2 сyще цrтва є3гw2 не суди1сте прaвw, ни сохрани1сте зак0на, нижE по в0ли б9іей ходи1сте.

⁵

horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgment shall be to them that be in high places.

⁵

Стрaшнw и3 ск0рw kви1тсz вaмъ: ћкw сyдъ жесточaйшій преимyщымъ бывaетъ,

⁶

For mercy will soon pardon the meanest: but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.

⁶

и4бо мaлый дост0инъ є4сть ми1лости, си1льніи же си1льнэ и3стsзани бyдутъ.

⁷

For he which is Lord over all shall fear no man's person, neither shall he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he hath made the small and great, and careth for all alike.

⁷

Не щади1тъ бо лицA всёхъ вLка, нижE ўсрами1тсz вельм0жи, ћкw мaла и3 вели1ка сeй сотвори2, под0бнэ же проразумэвaетъ њ всёхъ:

⁸

But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty.

⁸

держ†внымъ же крёпко настои1тъ и3спытaніе.

⁹

Unto you therefore, O kings, do I speak, that ye may learn wisdom, and not fall away.

⁹

Къ вaмъ u5бо, q=^, цaріе, словесA мо‰, да научи1тесz премyдрости и3 не падeте:

¹⁰

For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy: and they that have learned such things shall find what to answer.

¹⁰

и4бо сохранsющіи препод0бнэ преподHбнаz препод0бни бyдутъ, и3 и5же научи1вшіисz си6мъ, њбрsщутъ tвётъ.

¹¹

Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and ye shall be instructed.

¹¹

Возжелёйте u5бо словeсъ мои1хъ, возлюби1те и3 накажи1тесz.

¹²

Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away: yea, she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her.

¹²

СвэтлA и3 не ўвzдaема є4сть премyдрость, и3 ўд0бнw ви1дитсz t лю1бzщихъ ю5, и3 њбрsщетсz t и4щущихъ ю5:

¹³

She preventeth them that desire her, in making herself first known unto them.

¹³

предварsетъ желaющымъ пред8увёдэтисz.

¹⁴

Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors.

¹⁴

Ќтреневавый къ нeй не ўтруди1тсz: присэдsщую бо њбрsщетъ при вратёхъ свои1хъ.

¹⁵

To think therefore upon her is the perfection of wisdom: and whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care.

¹⁵

Е$же бо мhслити њ нeй, рaзума (є4сть) совершeнство, и3 бдsй є3S рaди вск0рэ без8 печaли бyдетъ:

¹⁶

For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth them in every thought.

¹⁶

ћкw дост0йныхъ є3S самA њбх0дитъ и4щущи, и3 на стезsхъ показyетсz и5мъ благопріsтнw, и3 во всeмъ провидёніи срэтaетъ и5хъ.

¹⁷

For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline; and the care of discipline is love;

¹⁷

Начaло бо є3S и4стиннэйшее наказaніz возжелёніе,

¹⁸

and love is the keeping of her laws; and the giving heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption;

¹⁸

попечeніе же наказaніz любы2, любh же хранeніе зак0нwвъ є3S,

¹⁹

and incorruption maketh us near unto God:

¹⁹

хранeніе же зак0нwвъ ўтверждeніе нерастлёніz (є4сть), нерастлёніе же твори1тъ бли1з8 бhти бGа:

²⁰

therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.

²⁰

возжелёніе u5бо премyдрости возв0дитъ къ цrтву (вёчному).

²¹

If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore.

²¹

Ѓще u5бо наслаждaетесz прест0лами и3 ски6птры, q=^, цaріе людjй, почти1те премyдрость, да во вёки цaрствуете.

²²

As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth.

²²

Чт0 же є4сть премyдрость, и3 кaкw бhсть, возвэщY,

²³

Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom.

²³

и3 не ўтаю2 t вaсъ т†инъ, но t начaла рождeніz и3зслёжду,

²⁴

But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.

²⁴

и3 положY на свётъ рaзумъ є3S и3 не преминyю и4стины,

²⁵

Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good.

²⁵

нижE зaвистію тaющему спyтьствую, ћкw сeй не бyдетъ причaстникъ премyдрости.
