Slavonic Church Slavonic Bible (Elizabeth Bible)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ꙗ҆́коже роса̀ въ жа́твꙋ и҆ ꙗ҆́коже до́ждь въ лѣ́тѣ, та́кѡ нѣ́сть безꙋ́мномꙋ че́сти.
1 Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
2 Ꙗ҆́коже пти̑цы ѿлета́ютъ и҆ вра́бїеве, та́кѡ клѧ́тва сꙋ́етнаѧ не на́йдетъ ни на кого́же.
2 Like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.
3 Ꙗ҆́коже би́чь коню̀ и҆ ѻ҆сте́нъ ѻ҆слꙋ̀, та́кѡ же́злъ ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ законопрестꙋ́пнꙋ.
3 A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!
4 Не ѿвѣща́й безꙋ́мномꙋ по безꙋ́мїю є҆гѡ̀, да не подо́бенъ є҆мꙋ̀ бꙋ́деши:
4 Don’t answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
5 но ѿвѣща́й безꙋ́мномꙋ по безꙋ́мїю є҆гѡ̀, да не ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ мꙋ́дръ ᲂу҆ себє̀.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
6 Ѿ пꙋті́й свои́хъ поноше́нїе твори́тъ, и҆́же посла̀ вѣ́стникомъ безꙋ́мнымъ сло́во.
6 One who sends a message by the hand of a fool is cutting off feet and drinking violence.
7 Ѿимѝ ше́ствїе ѿ гле́знъ и҆ законопрестꙋпле́нїе ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ безꙋ́мныхъ.
7 Like the legs of the lame that hang loose, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 И҆́же привѧзꙋ́етъ ка́мень въ пра́щи, подо́бенъ є҆́сть даю́щемꙋ безꙋ́мномꙋ сла́вꙋ.
8 As one who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a fool.
9 Тє́рнїѧ прозѧба́ютъ въ рꙋцѣ̀ пїѧ́ницы, и҆ порабоще́нїе въ рꙋцѣ̀ безꙋ́мныхъ.
9 Like a thorn bush that goes into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10 Мно́гими волнꙋ́етсѧ всѧ́ка пло́ть безꙋ́мныхъ, сокрꙋша́етсѧ бо и҆зстꙋпле́нїе и҆́хъ.
10 As an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or he who hires those who pass by.
11 Ꙗ҆́коже пе́съ, є҆гда̀ возврати́тсѧ на своѧ̑ блевѡ́тины, и҆ ме́рзокъ быва́етъ, та́кѡ безꙋ́мный свое́ю ѕло́бою возвра́щьсѧ на сво́й грѣ́хъ. Є҆́сть сты́дъ наводѧ́й грѣ́хъ, и҆ є҆́сть сты́дъ сла́ва и҆ благода́ть.
11 As a dog that returns to his vomit, so is a fool who repeats his folly.
12 Ви́дѣхъ мꙋ́жа непщева́вша себѐ мꙋ́дра бы́ти, ᲂу҆пова́нїе же и҆́мать безꙋ́мный па́че є҆гѡ̀.
12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
13 Глаго́летъ лѣни́вый по́сланъ на пꙋ́ть: ле́въ на пꙋте́хъ, на сто́гнахъ же разбѡ́йницы.
13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion roams the streets!”
14 Ꙗ҆́коже две́рь ѡ҆браща́етсѧ на пѧтѣ̀, та́кѡ лѣни́вый на ло́жи свое́мъ.
14 As the door turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed.
15 Скры́въ лѣни́вый рꙋ́кꙋ въ нѣ́дро своѐ не возмо́жетъ принестѝ ко ᲂу҆стѡ́мъ.
15 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
16 Мꙋдрѣ́йшїй себѣ̀ лѣни́вый ꙗ҆влѧ́етсѧ, па́че во и҆з̾ѻби́лїи и҆зносѧ́щагѡ вѣ́сть.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer with discretion.
17 Ꙗ҆́коже держа́й за ѡ҆́шибъ пса̀, та́кѡ предсѣда́тельствꙋѧй чꙋжде́мꙋ сꙋдꙋ̀.
17 Like one who grabs a dog’s ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.
18 Ꙗ҆́коже врачꙋ́емїи ме́щꙋтъ словеса̀ на человѣ́ки, срѣта́ѧй же сло́вомъ пе́рвый за́пнетсѧ:
18 Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,
19 та́кѡ всѝ кова́рствꙋющїи над̾ свои́ми дрꙋ̑ги: є҆гда́ же ᲂу҆ви́дѣни бꙋ́дꙋтъ, глаго́лютъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆гра́ѧ содѣ́ѧхъ.
19 is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “Am I not joking?”
20 Во мно́зѣхъ дре́вѣхъ расте́тъ ѻ҆́гнь: а҆ и҆дѣ́же нѣ́сть разгнѣвлѧ́юща, ᲂу҆молка́етъ сва́ръ.
20 For lack of wood a fire goes out. Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.
21 Ѻ҆гни́ще ᲂу҆́глїю, и҆ дрова̀ ѻ҆гне́ви: мꙋ́жъ же клеветли́въ въ мѧте́жъ сва́ра.
21 As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.
22 Словеса̀ ласка́телей мѧ̑гка: сїѧ̑ же ᲂу҆дарѧ́ютъ въ сокрѡ́вища ᲂу҆тро́бъ.
22 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts.
23 Сребро̀ дае́мо съ ле́стїю, ꙗ҆́коже скꙋде́ль вмѣнѧ́емо: ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ гла̑дки се́рдце покрыва́ютъ приско́рбно.
23 Like silver dross on an earthen vessel are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
24 Оу҆стна́ма всѧ̑ ѡ҆бѣщава́етъ пла́чай вра́гъ, въ се́рдцы же содѣва́етъ ле́сть.
24 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart.
25 А҆́ще тѧ̀ мо́литъ вра́гъ ве́лїимъ гла́сомъ, не вѣ́рꙋй є҆мꙋ̀, се́дмь бо є҆́сть лꙋка́вствїй въ дꙋшѝ є҆гѡ̀.
25 When his speech is charming, don’t believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Таѧ́й враждꙋ̀ составлѧ́етъ ле́сть: ѿкрыва́етъ же своѧ̑ грѣхѝ благоразꙋ́мный на со́нмищихъ.
26 His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 И҆зрыва́ѧй ꙗ҆́мꙋ и҆́скреннемꙋ впаде́тсѧ въ ню̀: валѧ́ѧй же ка́мень на себѐ вали́тъ.
27 Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
28 Ѧ҆зы́къ лжи́въ ненави́дитъ и҆́стины, ᲂу҆ста́ же непокровє́нна творѧ́тъ нестрое́нїе.
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.
