4 Great Canon of St Andrew of Crete

And the Lord said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha has been increased towards me, and their sins are very great.

εἶπε δὲ Κύριος· κραυγὴ Σοδόμων καὶ Γομόρρας πεπλήθυνται πρός με, καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτῶν μεγάλαι σφόδρα.

Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь: во́пль содо́мскїй и҆ гомо́ррскїй ᲂу҆мно́жисѧ ко мнѣ̀, и҆ грѣсѝ и҆́хъ вели́цы ѕѣлѡ̀:

I will therefore go down and see, if they completely correspond with the cry which comes to me, and if not, that I may know.

καταβὰς οὖν ὄψομαι, εἰ κατὰ τὴν κραυγὴν αὐτῶν τὴν ἐρχομένην πρός με συντελοῦνται, εἰ δὲ μή, ἵνα γνῶ.

соше́дъ ᲂу҆̀бо ᲂу҆зрю̀, а҆́ще по во́плю и҆́хъ грѧдꙋ́щемꙋ ко мнѣ̀ соверша́ютсѧ: а҆́ще же нѝ, да разꙋмѣ́ю.

And the men having departed thence, came to Sodom; and Abraam was still standing before the Lord.

καὶ ἀποστρέψαντες ἐκεῖθεν οἱ ἄνδρες ἦλθον εἰς Σόδομα. ῾Αβραὰμ δὲ ἔτι ἦν ἑστηκὼς ἐναντίον Κυρίου.

И҆ ѡ҆брати́вшесѧ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ мꙋ́жїе, прїидо́ша въ содо́мъ: а҆враа́мъ же є҆щѐ бѧ́ше стоѧ́й пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ.

And Abraam drew nigh and said, Wouldest thou destroy the righteous with the wicked, and shall the righteous be as the wicked?

καὶ ἐγγίσας ῾Αβραὰμ εἶπε· μὴ συναπολέσῃς δίκαιον μετὰ ἀσεβοῦς καὶ ἔσται ὁ δίκαιος ὡς ὁ ἀσεβής;

И҆ прибли́живсѧ а҆враа́мъ, речѐ: погꙋби́ши ли првⷣнаго съ нечести́вымъ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ првⷣникъ ꙗ҆́кѡ нечести́вый;

Should there be fifty righteous in the city, wilt thou destroy them? wilt thou not spare the whole place for the sake of the fifty righteous, if they be in it?

ἐὰν ὦσι πεντήκοντα δίκαιοι ἐν τῇ πόλει, ἀπολεῖς αὐτούς; οὐκ ἀνήσεις πάντα τὸν τόπον ἕνεκεν τῶν πεντήκοντα δικαίων, ἐὰν ὦσιν ἐν αὐτῇ;

а҆́ще бꙋ́дꙋтъ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ првⷣницы во гра́дѣ, погꙋби́ши ли ѧ҆̀; не пощади́ши ли всегѡ̀ мѣ́ста пѧти́десѧти ра́ди првⷣныхъ, а҆́ще бꙋ́дꙋтъ въ не́мъ;

By no means shalt thou do as this thing [is] so as to destroy the righteous with the wicked, so the righteous shall be as the wicked: by no means. Thou that judgest the whole earth, shalt thou not do right?

μηδαμῶς σὺ ποιήσεις ὡς τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, τοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι δίκαιον μετὰ ἀσεβοῦς, καὶ ἔσται ὁ δίκαιος ὡς ὁ ἀσεβής. μηδαμῶς· ὁ κρίνων πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, οὐ ποιήσεις κρίσιν;

ника́коже ты̀ сотвори́ши по глаго́лꙋ семꙋ̀, є҆́же ᲂу҆би́ти првⷣника съ нечести́вымъ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ првⷣникъ ꙗ҆́кѡ нечести́вый: ника́коже, сꙋдѧ́й все́й землѝ, не сотвори́ши ли сꙋда̀;

And the Lord said, If there should be in Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole city, and the whole place for their sakes.

εἶπε δὲ Κύριος· ἐὰν ὦσιν ἐν Σοδόμοις πεντήκοντα δίκαιοι ἐν τῇ πόλει, ἀφήσω ὅλην τὴν πόλιν καὶ πάντα τὸν τόπον δι᾿ αὐτούς.

Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь: а҆́ще бꙋ́дꙋтъ въ содо́мѣхъ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ првⷣницы во гра́дѣ, ѡ҆ста́влю ве́сь гра́дъ и҆ всѐ мѣ́сто и҆́хъ ра́ди.

And Abraam answered and said, Now I have begun to speak to my Lord, and I am earth and ashes.

καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ῾Αβραὰμ εἶπε· νῦν ἠρξάμην λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν Κύριόν μου, ἐγὼ δέ εἰμι γῆ καὶ σποδός·

И҆ ѿвѣща́въ а҆враа́мъ, речѐ: нн҃ѣ нача́хъ глаго́лати ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ моемꙋ̀, а҆́зъ же є҆́смь землѧ̀ и҆ пе́пелъ:

But if the fifty righteous should be diminished to forty-five, wilt thou destroy the whole city because of the five [wanting]? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there forty-five.

ἐὰν δὲ ἐλαττονωθῶσιν οἱ πεντήκοντα δίκαιοι εἰς τεσσαρακονταπέντε, ἀπολεῖς ἕνεκεν τῶν πέντε πᾶσαν τὴν πόλιν; καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω, ἐὰν εὕρω ἐκεῖ τεσσσαρακονταπέντε.

а҆́ще же ᲂу҆ма́лѧтсѧ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ првⷣницы въ четы́редесѧть пѧ́ть, погꙋби́ши ли четы́редесѧти пѧти́хъ ра́ди ве́сь гра́дъ; И҆ речѐ: не погꙋблю̀, а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋ та́мѡ четы́редесѧть пѧ́ть.

And he continued to speak to him still, and said, But if there should be found there forty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the forty's sake.

καὶ προσέθηκεν ἔτι λαλῆσαι πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ εἶπεν· ἐὰν δὲ εὑρεθῶσιν ἐκεῖ τεσσαράκοντα; καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω ἕνεκεν τῶν τεσσαράκοντα.

И҆ приложѝ є҆щѐ глаго́лати къ немꙋ̀, и҆ речѐ: а҆́ще же ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтсѧ та́мѡ четы́редесѧть; И҆ речѐ: не погꙋблю̀ ра́ди четы́редесѧти.

And he said, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I shall speak? but if there be found there thirty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the thirty's sake.

καὶ εἶπε· μή τι κύριε, ἐὰν λαλήσω; ἐὰν δὲ εὑρεθῶσιν ἐκεῖ τριάκοντα; καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω ἕνεκεν τῶν τριάκοντα.

И҆ речѐ: что̀, гдⷭ҇и, а҆́ще возглаго́лю; а҆́ще же ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ та́мѡ три́десѧть; И҆ речѐ: не погꙋблю̀ три́десѧтихъ ра́ди.

And he said, Since I am able to speak to the Lord, what if there should be found there twenty? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there twenty.

καὶ εἶπεν· ἐπειδὴ ἔχω λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν κύριον· ἐὰν δὲ εὑρεθῶσιν ἐκεῖ εἴκοσι; καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω, ἐὰν εὕρω ἐκεῖ εἴκοσι.

И҆ речѐ: поне́же и҆́мамъ глаго́лати ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ: а҆́ще же ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтсѧ та́мѡ два́десѧть; И҆ речѐ: не погꙋблю̀, а҆́ще ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтсѧ та́мѡ два́десѧть.

And he said, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I speak yet once? but if there should be found there ten? And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.

καὶ εἶπε· μήτι κύριε, ἐὰν λαλήσω ἔτι ἅπαξ· ἐὰν δὲ εὑρεθῶσιν ἐκεῖ δέκα; καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω ἕνεκεν τῶν δέκα.

И҆ речѐ: что̀, гдⷭ҇и, а҆́ще возглаго́лю є҆щѐ є҆ди́ною; а҆́ще же ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтсѧ та́мѡ де́сѧть; И҆ речѐ: не погꙋблю̀ десѧти́хъ ра́ди.

And the Lord departed, when he left off speaking to Abraam, and Abraam returned to his place.

ἀπῆλθε δὲ ὁ Κύριος, ὡς ἐπαύσατο λαλῶν τῷ ῾Αβραάμ, καὶ ῾Αβραὰμ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ.

Ѿи́де же гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ преста̀ гл҃ѧ ко а҆враа́мꙋ: и҆ а҆враа́мъ возврати́сѧ на мѣ́сто своѐ.

The paths of life turn aside from evil; and the ways of righteousness are length of life. He that receives instruction shall be in prosperity; and he that regards reproofs shall be made wise. He that keeps his ways, preserves his own soul; and he that loves his life will spare his mouth.

τρίβοι ζωῆς ἐκκλίνουσιν ἀπὸ κακῶν, μῆκος δὲ βίου ὁδοὶ δικαιοσύνης. ὁ δεχόμενος παιδείαν ἐν ἀγαθοῖς ἔσται, ὁ δὲ φυλάσσων ἐλέγχους σοφισθήσεται. ὅς φυλάσσει τὰς ἑαυτοῦ ὁδούς, τηρεῖ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν, ἀγαπῶν δὲ ζωὴν αὐτοῦ φείσεται στόματος αὐτοῦ.

Пꙋтїѐ жи́зни ᲂу҆кланѧ́ютсѧ ѿ ѕлы́хъ: долгота́ же житїѧ̀ пꙋтїѐ првⷣни. Прїе́млѧй наказа́нїе во бл҃ги́хъ бꙋ́детъ, хранѧ́й же ѡ҆бличє́нїѧ ᲂу҆мꙋдри́тсѧ. И҆́же храни́тъ своѧ̑ пꙋти̑, соблюда́етъ свою̀ дꙋ́шꙋ: любѧ́й же живо́тъ сво́й щади́тъ своѧ̑ ᲂу҆ста̀.

Pride goes before destruction, and folly before a fall.

πρὸ συντριβῆς ἡγεῖται ὕβρις, πρὸ δὲ πτώματος κακοφροσύνη.

Пре́жде сокрꙋше́нїѧ предварѧ́етъ досажде́нїе, пре́жде же паде́нїѧ ѕлопомышле́нїе.

Better is a meek-spirited [man] with lowliness, than one who divides spoils with the proud.

κρείσσων πραΰθυμος μετὰ ταπεινώσεως ἢ ὃς διαιρεῖται σκῦλα μετὰ ὑβριστῶν.

Лꙋ́чше кроткодꙋ́шенъ со смире́нїемъ, не́жели и҆́же раздѣлѧ́етъ коры̑сти съ досади́тельми.

[He who is] skillful in business finds good: but he that trusts in God is most blessed.

συνετὸς ἐν πράγμασιν εὑρετὴς ἀγαθῶν, πεποιθὼς δὲ ἐπὶ Θεῷ μακαριστός.

Разꙋ́мный въ ве́щехъ ѡ҆брѣта́тель бл҃ги́хъ, надѣ́ѧйсѧ же на гдⷭ҇а бл҃же́нъ.

[Men] call the wise and understanding evil: but they that are pleasing in speech shall hear more.

τοὺς σοφοὺς καὶ συνετοὺς φαύλους καλοῦσιν, οἱ δὲ γλυκεῖς ἐν λόγῳ πλείονα ἀκούσονται.

Премꙋ̑дрыѧ и҆ разꙋ̑мныѧ ѕлы́ми нари́чꙋтъ, сла́дцїи же въ словесѝ мно́жае ᲂу҆слы́шани бꙋ́дꙋтъ.

Understanding is a fountain of life to its possessors; but the instruction of fools is evil.

πηγὴ ζωῆς ἔννοια τοῖς κεκτημένοις, παιδεία δὲ ἀφρόνων κακή.

И҆сто́чникъ живо́тенъ ра́зꙋмъ стѧжа́вшымъ, наказа́нїе же безꙋ́мныхъ ѕло̀.

The heart of the wise will discern the [things which proceed] from his own mouth; and on his lips he will wear knowledge.

καρδία σοφοῦ νοήσει τὰ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἰδίου στόματος, ἐπὶ δὲ χείλεσι φορέσει ἐπιγνωμοσύνην.

Се́рдце премꙋ́драгѡ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ ꙗ҆̀же ѿ свои́хъ є҆мꙋ̀ ᲂу҆́стъ, во ᲂу҆стна́хъ же но́ситъ ра́зꙋмъ.

Good words are honeycombs, and the sweetness thereof is a healing of the soul.

κηρία μέλιτος λόγοι καλοί, γλύκασμα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἴασις ψυχῆς.

Со́тове медо́внїи словеса̀ дѡ́браѧ, сла́дость же и҆́хъ и҆сцѣле́нїе дꙋшѝ.

There are ways that seem to be right to a man, but the end of them looks to the depth of hell.

εἰσὶν ὁδοὶ δοκοῦσαι εἶναι ὀρθαὶ ἀνδρί, τὰ μέντοι τελευταῖα αὐτῶν βλέπει εἰς πυθμένα ᾅδου.

Сꙋ́ть пꙋтїѐ мнѧ́щїисѧ пра́ви бы́ти мꙋ́жꙋ, ѻ҆ба́че послѣ̑днѧѧ и҆́хъ зрѧ́тъ во дно̀ а҆́дово.

A man who labours, labours for himself, and drives from [him] his own ruin.

ἀνὴρ ἐν πόνοις πονεῖ ἑαυτῷ καὶ ἐκβιάζεται τὴν ἀπώλειαν ἑαυτοῦ, ὁ μέντοι σκολιὸς ἐπὶ τῷ ἑαυτοῦ στόματι φορεῖ τὴν ἀπώλειαν.

Мꙋ́жъ въ трꙋдѣ́хъ трꙋжда́етсѧ себѣ̀ и҆ и҆знꙋжда́етъ поги́бель свою̀: стропти́вый во свои́хъ ᲂу҆ста́хъ но́ситъ поги́бель.

But the perverse bears destruction upon his own mouth: a foolish man digs up evil for himself, and treasures fire on his own lips.

ἀνὴρ ἄφρων ὀρύσσει ἑαυτῷ κακά, ἐπὶ δὲ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ χειλέων θησαυρίζει πῦρ.

Мꙋ́жъ безꙋ́менъ копа́етъ себѣ̀ ѕла̑ѧ и҆ во ᲂу҆стна́хъ свои́хъ сокро́вищствꙋетъ ѻ҆́гнь.

A perverse man spreads mischief, and will kindle a torch of deceit with mischiefs; and he separates friends.

ἀνὴρ σκολιὸς διαπέμπεται κακά, καὶ λαμπτῆρα δόλου πυρσεύει κακοῖς καὶ διαχωρίζει φίλους.

Мꙋ́жъ стропти́вый разсыла́етъ ѕла̑ѧ, и҆ свѣти́льникъ льстѝ вжига́етъ ѕлы̑мъ, и҆ разлꙋча́етъ дрꙋ́ги.

A transgressor tries [to ensnare] friends, and leads them in ways [that are] not good.

ἀνὴρ παράνομος ἀποπειρᾶται φίλων καὶ ἀπάγει αὐτοὺς ὁδοὺς οὐκ ἀγαθάς.

Мꙋ́жъ законопрестꙋ́пенъ прельща́етъ дрꙋ́ги и҆ ѿво́дитъ и҆̀хъ въ пꙋти̑ не бла̑ги.

And the man that fixes his eyes devises perverse things, and marks out with his lips all evil: he is a furnace of wickedness.

στηρίζων δὲ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ διαλογίζεται διεστραμμένα, ὁρίζει δὲ τοῖς χείλεσιν αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ κακά· οὗτος κάμινός ἐστι κακίας.

Оу҆твержда́ѧй ѻ҆́чи своѝ мы́слитъ развращє́ннаѧ, грызы́й же ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ своѝ ѡ҆предѣлѧ́етъ всѧ̑ ѕла̑ѧ: се́й пе́щь є҆́сть ѕло́бы.

Old age is a crown of honour, but it is found in the ways of righteousness.

στέφανος καυχήσεως γῆρας, ἐν δὲ ὁδοῖς δικαιοσύνης εὑρίσκεται.

Вѣне́цъ хвалы̀ ста́рость, на пꙋте́хъ же пра́вды ѡ҆брѣта́етсѧ.

A man slow to anger is better than a strong [man]; and he that governs [his] temper better than he that takes a city.

κρείσσων ἀνὴρ μακρόθυμος ἰσχυροῦ, ὁ δὲ κρατῶν ὀργῆς κρείσσων καταλαμβανομένου πόλιν.

Лꙋ́чше мꙋ́жъ долготерпѣли́въ па́че крѣ́пкагѡ, (꙳и҆ мꙋ́жъ ра́зꙋмъ и҆мѣ́ѧй па́че земледѣ́льца вели́кагѡ:) ᲂу҆держава́ѧй же гнѣ́въ па́че взе́млющагѡ гра́дъ.

All [evils] come upon the ungodly into [their] bosoms; but all righteous things [come] of the Lord.

εἰς κόλπους ἐπέρχεται πάντα τοῖς ἀδίκοις, παρὰ δὲ Κυρίου πάντα τὰ δίκαια.

Въ нѣ̑дра вхо́дѧтъ всѧ̑ непра́вєднымъ: ѿ гдⷭ҇а же всѧ̑ првⷣнаѧ.

Better is a morsel with pleasure in peace, than a house [full] of many good things and unjust sacrifices, with strife.

ΚΡΕΙΣΣΩΝ ψωμὸς μεθ᾿ ἡδονῆς ἐν εἰρήνη ἢ οἶκος πλήρης πολλῶν ἀγαθῶν καὶ ἀδίκων θυμάτων μετὰ μάχης.

Лꙋ́чше ᲂу҆крꙋ́хъ хлѣ́ба со сла́стїю въ ми́рѣ, не́жели до́мъ и҆спо́лненъ мно́гихъ благи́хъ и҆ непра́ведныхъ же́ртвъ со бра́нїю.

A wise servant shall have rule over foolish masters, and shall divide portions among brethren.

οἰκέτης νοήμων κρατήσει δεσποτῶν ἀφρόνων, ἐν δὲ ἀδελφοῖς διελεῖται μέρη.

Ра́бъ смы́сленъ ѡ҆блада́етъ влады̑ки безꙋ́мными, въ бра́тїихъ же раздѣли́тъ (и҆мѣ́нїе) на ча̑сти.

As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord.

ὥσπερ δοκιμάζεται ἐν καμίνῳ ἄργυρος καὶ χρυσός, οὕτως ἐκλεκταὶ καρδίαι παρὰ Κυρίῳ.

Ꙗ҆́коже и҆скꙋша́етсѧ въ пещѝ сребро̀ и҆ зла́то, та́кѡ и҆збра̑ннаѧ сердца̀ ᲂу҆ гдⷭ҇а.

A bad man hearkens to the tongue of transgressors: but a righteous man attends not to false lips.

κακὸς ὑπακούει γλώσσης παρανόμων, δίκαιος δὲ οὐ προσέχει χείλεσι ψευδέσιν.

Ѕлы́й послꙋ́шаетъ ѧ҆зы́ка законопрестꙋ́пныхъ, првⷣный же не внима́етъ ᲂу҆стна́мъ лжи̑вымъ.

He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; and he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: but he that has compassion shall find mercy.

ὁ καταγελῶν πτωχοῦ παροξύνει τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτόν, ὁ δὲ ἐπιχαίρων ἀπολλυμένῳ οὐκ ἀθῳωθήσεται· ὁ δὲ ἐπισπλαγχνιζόμενος ἐλεηθήσεται.

Рꙋга́йсѧ ᲂу҆бо́гомꙋ раздража́етъ сотво́ршаго є҆го̀, ра́дꙋѧйсѧ же ѡ҆ погиба́ющемъ не ѡ҆безвини́тсѧ: ми́лꙋѧй же поми́лованъ бꙋ́детъ.

Children’s children are the crown of old men; and their fathers are the glory of children. 6α The faithful has the whole world full of wealth; but the faithless not even a farthing.

α τοῦ πιστοῦ ὅλος ὁ κόσμος τῶν χρημάτων, τοῦ δὲ ἀπίστου οὐδὲ ὀβολός.

Вѣне́цъ ста́рыхъ ча̑да ча̑дъ: похвала́ же ча́домъ ѻ҆тцы̀ и҆́хъ. Вѣ́рномꙋ ве́сь мі́ръ бога́тство, невѣ́рномꙋ же нижѐ пѣ́нѧзь.

Faithful lips will not suit a fool; nor lying lips a just man.

οὐχ ἁρμόσει ἄφρονι χείλη πιστά, οὐδὲ δικαίῳ χείλη ψευδῆ.

Неприли̑чны сꙋ́ть безꙋ́мномꙋ ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ вѣ̑рны, нижѐ првⷣномꙋ ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ лжи̑вы.

Instruction is to them that use it a gracious reward; and whithersoever it may turn, it shall prosper.

μισθὸς χαρίτων ἡ παιδεία τοῖς χρωμένοις, οὗ δ᾿ ἂν ἐπιστρέψῃ εὐοδωθήσεται.

Мзда̀ благода́тей наказа́нїе ᲂу҆потреблѧ́ющымъ: и҆ а҆́може а҆́ще ѡ҆брати́тсѧ, ᲂу҆спѣ́етъ.

He that conceals injuries seeks love; but he that hates to hide [them] separates friends and kindred.

ὃς κρύπτει ἀδικήματα, ζητεῖ φιλίαν, ὃς δὲ μισεῖ κρύπτειν, διΐστησι φίλους καὶ οἰκείους.

И҆́же таи́тъ ѡ҆би̑ды, и҆́щетъ любвѐ: а҆ и҆́же ненави́дитъ скрыва́ти, разлꙋча́етъ дрꙋ́ги и҆ дома̑шнїѧ.

A threat breaks down the heart of a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not.

συντρίβει ἀπειλὴ καρδίαν φρονίμου, ἄφρων δὲ μαστιγωθεὶς οὐκ αἰσθάνεται.

Сокрꙋша́етъ преще́нїе се́рдце мꙋ́драгѡ: безꙋ́мный же бїе́мь не чꙋ́вствꙋетъ (ра́нъ).

Every bad man stirs up strifes: but the Lord will send out against him an unmerciful messenger.

ἀντιλογίας ἐγείρει πᾶς κακός, ὁ δὲ Κύριος ἄγγελον ἀνελεήμονα ἐκπέμψει αὐτῷ.

Прекослѡ́вїѧ воздви́жетъ всѧ́къ ѕлы́й: гдⷭ҇ь же а҆́гг҃ла неми́лостива по́слетъ на́нь.

Care may befall a man of understanding; but fools will meditate evils.

ἐμπεσεῖται μέριμνα ἀνδρὶ νοήμονι, οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες διαλογιοῦνται κακά.

Впаде́тъ попече́нїе мꙋ́жꙋ смы́сленнꙋ: безꙋ́мнїи же размышлѧ́ютъ ѕла̑ѧ.

Whoso rewards evil for good, evil shall not be removed from his house.

ὃς ἀποδίδωσι κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν, οὐ κινηθήσεται κακὰ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ.

И҆́же воздае́тъ ѕла̑ѧ за бл҃га̑ѧ, не подви́гнꙋтсѧ ѕла̑ѧ и҆з̾ до́мꙋ є҆гѡ̀.

Rightful rule gives power to words; but sedition and strife precede poverty.

ἐξουσίαν δίδωσι λόγοις ἀρχὴ δικαιοσύνης, προηγεῖται δὲ τῆς ἐνδείας στάσις καὶ μάχη.

Вла́сть дае́тъ словесє́мъ нача́ло пра́вды: предводи́тельствꙋетъ же скꙋ́дости прѧ̀ и҆ бра́нь.

He that pronounces the unjust just, and the just unjust, is unclean and abominable with God.

ὃς δίκαιον κρίνει τὸν ἄδικον, ἄδικον δὲ τὸν δίκαιον, ἀκάθαρτος καὶ βδελυκτὸς παρὰ Θεῷ.

И҆́же сꙋ́дитъ првⷣнаго непра́веднымъ, непра́веднаго же првⷣнымъ, нечи́стъ и҆ ме́рзокъ ᲂу҆ гдⷭ҇а.

Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. 16α He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief.

α ὃς ὑψηλὸν ποιεῖ τὸν ἑαυτοῦ οἶκον, ζητεῖ συντριβήν, ὁ δὲ σκολιάζων τοῦ μαθεῖν ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κακά.

Вскꙋ́ю бѧ́ше и҆мѣ́нїе безꙋ́мномꙋ; стѧжа́ти бо премꙋ́дрости безсе́рдый не мо́жетъ. И҆́же высо́къ твори́тъ сво́й до́мъ, и҆́щетъ сокрꙋше́нїѧ: ѡ҆строптѣва́ѧй же ᲂу҆чи́тисѧ впаде́тъ во ѕла̑ѧ.

Have thou a friend for every time, and let brethren be useful in distress; for on this account are they born.

εἰς πάντα καιρὸν φίλος ὑπαρχέτω σοι, ἀδελφοὶ δὲ ἐν ἀνάγκαις χρήσιμοι ἔστωσαν· τούτου γὰρ χάριν γεννῶνται.

На всѧ́ко вре́мѧ дрꙋ́гъ да бꙋ́детъ тебѣ̀, бра́тїѧ же въ нꙋ́ждахъ поле́зни да бꙋ́дꙋтъ: сегѡ́ бо ра́ди ражда́ютсѧ.

This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

Ταύτην τὴν παροιμίαν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐκεῖνοι δὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τίνα ἦν ἃ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς.

Сїю̀ при́тчꙋ речѐ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: ѻ҆ни́ же не разꙋмѣ́ша, что̀ бѧ́ше, ꙗ҆̀же гл҃аше и҆̀мъ.

Thus saith the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it:

οὕτω λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ πήξας αὐτόν, ὁ στερεώσας τὴν γῆν καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ διδοὺς πνοὴν τῷ λαῷ τῷ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ πνεῦμα τοῖς πατοῦσιν αὐτήν·

Та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, сотвори́вый не́бо и҆ водрꙋзи́вый є҆̀, ᲂу҆твержде́й зе́млю и҆ ꙗ҆̀же на не́й, и҆ даѧ́й дыха́нїе лю́демъ, и҆̀же на не́й, и҆ дꙋ́хъ ходѧ́щымъ на не́й:

I the Lord God have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will strengthen thee: and I have given thee for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles:

ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἐκάλεσά σε ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ κρατήσω τῆς χειρός σου καὶ ἐνισχύσω σε καὶ ἔδωκά σε εἰς διαθήκην γένους, εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν

а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ призва́хъ тѧ̀ въ пра́вдѣ, и҆ ᲂу҆держꙋ̀ за рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ и҆ ᲂу҆крѣплю́ тѧ: и҆ да́хъ тѧ̀ въ завѣ́тъ ро́да і҆и҃лева, во свѣ́тъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ,

to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison-house.

ἀνοῖξαι ὀφθαλμοὺς τυφλῶν, ἐξαγαγεῖν ἐκ δεσμῶν δεδεμένους καὶ ἐξ οἴκου φυλακῆς καθημένους ἐν σκότει.

ѿве́рсти ѻ҆́чи слѣпы́хъ, и҆звестѝ ѿ ᲂу҆́зъ свѧ̑занныѧ и҆ и҆з̾ до́мꙋ темни́цы и҆ сѣдѧ́щыѧ во тьмѣ̀.

I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images.

ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεός, τοῦτό μού ἐστι τὸ ὄνομα· τὴν δόξαν μου ἑτέρῳ οὐ δώσω οὐδὲ τὰς ἀρετάς μου τοῖς γλυπτοῖς.

А҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ, сїѐ моѐ є҆́сть и҆́мѧ, сла́вы моеѧ̀ и҆но́мꙋ не да́мъ, нижѐ добродѣ́телей мои́хъ и҆стꙋка̑ннымъ.

Behold, the ancient things have come to pass, and [so will] the new things which I tell you: yea, before I tell [them] they are made known to you.

τὰ ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς ἰδοὺ ἥκασι, καὶ καινά, ἃ ἐγὼ ἀναγγέλλω, καὶ πρὸ τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι ἐδηλώθη ὑμῖν.

Ꙗ҆̀же и҆з̾ нача́ла, сѐ, прїидо́ша, и҆ нѡ́ваѧ, ꙗ҆̀же а҆́зъ возвѣщꙋ̀, и҆ пре́жде не́же возвѣсти́ти, ꙗ҆ви́шасѧ ва́мъ.

Sing a new hymn to the Lord: ye [who are] his dominion, glorify his name from the end of the earth: ye that go down to the sea, and sail upon it; the islands, and they that dwell in them.

῾Υμνήσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ ὕμνον καινόν, ἡ ἀρχὴ αὐτοῦ· δοξάζετε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾿ ἄκρου τῆς γῆς, οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ πλέοντες αὐτήν, αἱ νῆσοι καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες αὐτάς.

Воспо́йте гдⷭ҇еви пѣ́снь но́вꙋ: нача́льство є҆гѡ̀, просла́вите и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ ѿ конє́цъ землѝ, сходѧ́щїи въ мо́ре и҆ пла́вающїи по немꙋ̀, ѻ҆́строви и҆ живꙋ́щїи на ни́хъ.

Rejoice, thou wilderness, and the villages thereof, the hamlets, and the dwellers in Kedar: the inhabitants of the rock shall rejoice, they shall shout from the top of the mountains.

εὐφράνθητι, ἔρημος, καὶ αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῆς, ἐπαύλεις καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Κηδάρ· εὐφρανθήσονται οἱ κατοικοῦντες Πέτραν, ἀπ᾿ ἄκρων τῶν ὀρέων βοήσουσι·

Возвесели́сѧ, пꙋсты́не, и҆ вє́си є҆ѧ̀, придвѡ́рїѧ, и҆ живꙋ́щїи въ кида́рѣ: возвеселѧ́тсѧ живꙋ́щїи на ка́мени, ѿ кра́ѧ го́ръ возопїю́тъ,

They shall give glory to God, [and] shall proclaim his praises in the islands.

δώσουσι τῷ Θεῷ δόξαν, τὰς ἀρετὰς αὐτοῦ ἐν ταῖς νήσοις ἀναγγελοῦσι.

дадѧ́тъ бг҃ꙋ сла́вꙋ, добродѣ́тєли є҆гѡ̀ во ѻ҆́стровѣхъ возвѣстѧ́тъ.

The Lord God of hosts shall go forth, and crush the war: he shall stir up jealousy, and shall shout mightily against his enemies.

Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων ἐξελεύσεται καὶ συντρίψει πόλεμον, ἐπεγερεῖ ζῆλον καὶ βοήσεται ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ μετὰ ἰσχύος.

Гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ си́лъ и҆зы́детъ и҆ сокрꙋши́тъ ра́ть, воздви́гнетъ рве́нїе и҆ возопїе́тъ на врагѝ своѧ̑ со крѣ́постїю.

I have been silent: shall I also always be silent and forbear: I have endured like a travailing [woman]: I will [now] amaze and wither at once.

ἐσιώπησα, μὴ καὶ ἀεὶ σιωπήσομαι καὶ ἀνέξομαι; ὡς ἡ τίκτουσα ἐκαρτέρησα, ἐκστήσω καὶ ξηρανῶ ἅμα.

Молча́хъ, є҆да̀ и҆ всегда̀ ᲂу҆молчꙋ̀ и҆ потерплю̀; Терпѣ́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ражда́ющаѧ, и҆стреблю̀ и҆ и҆зсꙋшꙋ̀ вкꙋ́пѣ,

I will make desolate mountains and hills, and will dry up all their grass; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools.

ἐρημώσω ὄρη καὶ βουνοὺς καὶ πάντα χόρτον αὐτῶν ξηρανῶ, καὶ θήσω ποταμοὺς εἰς νήσους καὶ ἕλη ξηρανῶ.

ѡ҆пꙋстошꙋ̀ го́ры и҆ хо́лмы, и҆ всѧ́кꙋ травꙋ̀ и҆́хъ и҆зсꙋшꙋ̀, и҆ положꙋ̀ рѣ́ки во ѻ҆́стровы, и҆ лꙋ́ги и҆зсꙋшꙋ̀:

And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known: I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.

καὶ ἄξω τυφλοὺς ἐν ὁδῷ, ᾗ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν, καὶ τρίβους ἃς οὐκ ᾔδεισαν, πατῆσαι ποιήσω αὐτούς· ποιήσω αὐτοῖς τὸ σκότος εἰς φῶς καὶ τὰ σκολιὰ εἰς εὐθεῖαν· ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα ποιήσω καὶ οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψω αὐτούς.

и҆ наведꙋ̀ слѣпы̑ѧ на пꙋ́ть, є҆гѡ́же не ви́дѣша, и҆ по стезѧ́мъ, и҆́хже не зна́ша, ходи́ти сотворю̀ и҆̀мъ: сотворю̀ и҆̀мъ тьмꙋ̀ во свѣ́тъ и҆ стро́пѡтнаѧ въ пра̑ваѧ: сїѧ̑ гл҃го́лы сотворю̀, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́влю и҆́хъ.
