O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,

¹

Б9е nтцє1въ и3 гDи млcти твоеS, сотвори1вый вс‰ сл0вомъ твои1мъ

²

and ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which thou hast made,

²

и3 премdростію твоeю ўстр0ивый человёка, да владёетъ сотворeнными t тебє2 твaрьми,

³

and order the world according to equity and righteousness, and execute judgment with an upright heart:

³

и3 да ўправлsетъ мjръ въ препод0біи и3 прaвдэ, и3 въ правотЁ души2 сyдъ да сyдитъ:

⁴

give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children:

⁴

дaждь мнЁ твои6мъ пrт0лwмъ присэдsщую премdрость и3 не tри1ни менE t џтрwкъ твои1хъ:

⁵

for I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgment and laws.

⁵

ћкw ѓзъ рaбъ тв0й и3 сhнъ рабhни твоеS, человёкъ нeмощенъ и3 маловрeмененъ и3 ўмaленъ въ рaзумэ судA и3 зак0нwвъ.

⁶

For though a man be never so perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.

⁶

Ѓще бо кто2 бyдетъ и3 совершeнъ въ сынёхъ человёческихъ, tсyтствующей твоeй премdрости, ни во чт0же вмэни1тсz.

⁷

Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:

⁷

Ты2 и3збрaлъ мS є3си2 царS лю1демъ твои6мъ и3 судію2 сынHмъ твои6мъ и3 дщeремъ,

⁸

thou hast commanded me to build a temple upon thy holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou dwellest, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the beginning.

⁸

и3 рeклъ ми2 є3си2 создaти хрaмъ въ горЁ с™ёй твоeй и3 во грaдэ њбитaніz твоегw2 nлтaрь, под0біемъ ски1ніи (твоеS) с™hz, ю4же пред8угот0валъ є3си2 t начaла.

⁹

And wisdom was with thee: which knoweth thy works, and was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments.

⁹

И# съ тоб0ю премdрость вёдущаz дэлA тво‰ и3 присyтствующаz тогдA, є3гдA мjръ твори1лъ є3си2, и3 вёдущаz, что2 є4сть ўг0дно пред8 nчи1ма твои1ма и3 что2 прaво въ зaповэдехъ твои1хъ:

¹⁰

O send her out of thy holy heavens, and from the throne of thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing unto thee.

¹⁰

посли2 ю5 съ нб7съ с™hхъ и3 t пrт0ла слaвы твоеS посли2 ю5: да сyщи со мн0ю труди1тсz, и3 ўвёмъ, что2 благоуг0дно є4сть пред8 тоб0ю:

¹¹

For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power.

¹¹

вёсть бо nнA вс‰ и3 разумёетъ, и3 настaвитъ мS въ дёлэхъ мои1хъ цэломyдреннэ и3 сохрани1тъ мS во слaвэ своeй:

¹²

So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father's seat.

¹²

и3 бyдутъ прі‰тна дэлA мо‰, и3 разсуждY лю1ди тво‰ прaведнэ, и3 бyду дост0инъ прест0лwвъ nтцA моегw2.

¹³

For what man is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of the Lord is?

¹³

Кт0 бо t человBкъ познaетъ совётъ б9ій; и3ли2 кто2 помhслитъ, что2 х0щетъ бGъ;

¹⁴

For the thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our devices are but uncertain.

¹⁴

Помышлє1ніz бо смeртныхъ боzзли6ва, и3 погрэши1тєлна ўмышлє1ніz н†ша:

¹⁵

For the corruptible body presseth down the soul, and the earthy tabernacle weigheth down the mind that museth upon many things.

¹⁵

тёло бо тлённое њтzгощaетъ дyшу, и3 земн0е жили1ще њбременsетъ ќмъ многопопечи1теленъ.

¹⁶

And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth, and with labour do we find the things that are before us: but the things that are in heaven who hath searched out?

¹⁶

И# є3двA разумэвaемъ, ±же на земли2, и3 ±же въ рукaхъ њбрэтaемъ со труд0мъ: ґ ±же на нб7сёхъ, кто2 и3зслёди;

¹⁷

And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wisdom, and send thy Holy Spirit from above?

¹⁷

В0лю же твою2 кто2 познA, ѓще бы не ты2 дaлъ є3си2 премyдрость и3 послaлъ є3си2 д¦а с™aго твоего2 t высоты2;

¹⁸

For so the ways of them which lived on the earth were reformed, and men were taught the things that are pleasing unto thee, and were saved through wisdom.

¹⁸

И# тaкw и3спрaвишасz стєзи2 сyщихъ на земли2, и3 ±же тебЁ ўгHдна, научи1шасz человёцы
