1 Не ско́ръ бꙋ́ди ᲂу҆сты̑ твои́ми, и҆ се́рдце твоѐ да не ᲂу҆скорѧ́етъ и҆зноси́ти сло́во пред̾ лице́мъ бж҃їимъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ на нб҃сѝ горѣ̀, ты́ же на землѝ до́лꙋ: сегѡ̀ ра́ди да бꙋ́дꙋтъ словеса̀ твоѧ̑ ма̑ла:
1 Guard your steps when you go to God’s house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don’t know that they do evil.
2 ꙗ҆́кѡ прихо́дитъ со́нїе во мно́жествѣ попече́нїѧ, та́кѡ и҆ гла́съ безꙋ́мнагѡ во мно́жествѣ слове́съ.
2 Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
3 А҆́ще ѡ҆бѣща́еши ѡ҆бѣ́тъ бг҃ꙋ, не ᲂу҆ме́дли ѿда́ти є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть хотѣ́нїѧ въ безꙋ́мныхъ: ты̀ ᲂу҆̀бо, є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще ѡ҆бѣща́еши, ѿда́ждь.
3 For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool’s speech with a multitude of words.
4 Бла́го тебѣ̀ є҆́же не ѡ҆бѣщава́тисѧ, не́жели ѡ҆бѣща́вшꙋсѧ тебѣ̀, не ѿда́ти.
4 When you vow a vow to God, don’t defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow.
5 Не да́ждь ᲂу҆стна́мъ твои̑мъ є҆́же во грѣ́хъ ввестѝ пло́ть твою̀, и҆ да не рече́ши пред̾ лице́мъ бж҃їимъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ невѣ́дѣнїе є҆́сть: да не прогнѣ́ваетсѧ бг҃ъ ѡ҆ гла́сѣ твое́мъ и҆ растли́тъ творє́нїѧ рꙋ́къ твои́хъ:
5 It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.
6 ꙗ҆́кѡ во мно́жествѣ со́нїй и҆ сꙋ́етствїѧ, (та́кѡ) и҆ словеса̀ мнѡ́га, тѣ́мже бг҃а бо́йсѧ.
6 Don’t allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don’t protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
7 А҆́ще ѡ҆би́дꙋ ни́щагѡ и҆ расхище́нїе сꙋда̀ и҆ пра́вды ᲂу҆ви́диши во странѣ̀, не диви́сѧ ѡ҆ ве́щи: ꙗ҆́кѡ высо́кїй над̾ высо́кимъ надзира́тель, и҆ высо́цыи над̾ ни́ми,
7 For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, as well as in many words; but you must fear God.
8 и҆ и҆з̾ѻби́лїе землѝ над̾ всѣ́мъ є҆́сть ца́рь села̀ воздѣ́ланна.
8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.
9 Любѧ́й сребро̀ не насы́титсѧ сребра̀: и҆ кто̀ наслади́тсѧ во мно́жествѣ є҆гѡ̀ плода̀; И҆ сїѐ сꙋета̀.
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.
10 Во мно́жествѣ бла́га ᲂу҆мно́жишасѧ ꙗ҆дꙋ́щїи є҆̀: и҆ ко́е мꙋ́жество и҆мꙋ́щемꙋ є҆̀; ꙗ҆́кѡ нача́ло є҆́же ви́дѣти ѻ҆чи́ма свои́ма.
10 He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.
11 Со́нъ сла́докъ рабо́тающемꙋ, а҆́ще ма́лѡ и҆лѝ мно́гѡ снѣ́сть: а҆ насы́тившагосѧ бога́тство не ѡ҆ставлѧ́етъ ᲂу҆снꙋ́ти.
11 When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?
12 Є҆́сть недꙋ́гъ, є҆го́же ви́дѣхъ под̾ со́лнцемъ, бога́тство храни́мо ѿ стѧжа́телѧ во ѕло̀ є҆мꙋ̀:
12 The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.
13 и҆ поги́бнетъ бога́тство ѻ҆́но въ попече́нїи лꙋка́внѣ: и҆ родѝ сы́на, и҆ нѣ́сть въ рꙋцѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀ ничто́же:
13 There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.
14 ꙗ҆́коже и҆зы́де и҆з̾ чре́ва ма́тере своеѧ̀ на́гъ, возврати́тсѧ и҆тѝ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ прїи́де, и҆ ничто́же во́зметъ ѿ трꙋда̀ своегѡ̀, да понесе́тъ въ рꙋцѣ̀ свое́й.
14 Those riches perish by misfortune, and if he has fathered a son, there is nothing in his hand.
15 И҆ сїѐ ѕо́лъ недꙋ́гъ: ꙗ҆́коже бо прїи́де, та́кѡ и҆ ѿи́детъ, и҆ ка́ѧ по́льза є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ трꙋди́тсѧ на вѣ́тръ;
15 As he came out of his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
16 И҆́бо всѝ дні́е є҆гѡ̀ во тьмѣ̀ и҆ пла́чи и҆ въ ꙗ҆́рости мно́зѣ, и҆ въ недꙋ́зѣ и҆ во гнѣ́вѣ.
16 This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labors for the wind?
17 Сѐ, ви́дѣхъ а҆́зъ благо́е, є҆́же є҆́сть и҆зрѧ́дно, є҆́же ꙗ҆́сти и҆ пи́ти и҆ ви́дѣти благосты́ню во все́мъ трꙋдѣ̀ свое́мъ, и҆́мже трꙋди́лсѧ бы под̾ со́лнцемъ, въ число̀ дні́й живота̀ своегѡ̀, ꙗ҆̀же да́лъ є҆́сть є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сїѐ ча́сть є҆гѡ̀:
17 All his days he also eats in darkness, he is frustrated, and has sickness and wrath.
18 и҆́бо всѧ́комꙋ человѣ́кꙋ, є҆мꙋ́же да́лъ є҆́сть бг҃ъ бога́тство и҆ и҆мѣ̑нїѧ, и҆ вла́сть дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ꙗ҆́сти ѿ тогѡ̀ и҆ прїѧ́ти ча́сть свою̀ и҆ возвесели́тисѧ ѡ҆ трꙋдѣ̀ свое́мъ, сїѐ да́ръ бж҃їй є҆́сть:
18 Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.
19 ꙗ҆́кѡ не мно́го па́мѧтствовати и҆́мать дни̑ живота̀ своегѡ̀, поне́же бг҃ъ ѡ҆блага́етъ є҆го̀ попече́ньми въ весе́лїи се́рдца є҆гѡ̀.
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God. 20 For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life, because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.
