WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Бѣ́гаетъ нечести́вый ни є҆ди́номꙋ же гонѧ́щꙋ, првⷣный же ꙗ҆́кѡ ле́въ ᲂу҆пова́ѧ.
1 The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
2 За грѣхѝ нечести́выхъ сꙋ́дове востаю́тъ: мꙋ́жъ же хи́трый ᲂу҆гаси́тъ ѧ҆̀.
2 In rebellion, a land has many rulers, but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.
3 Проде́рзый въ нече́стїихъ ѡ҆клевета́етъ ни́щыѧ, ꙗ҆́коже до́ждь си́льный не поле́зенъ:
3 A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.
4 та́кѡ ѡ҆ста́вившїи зако́нъ хва́лѧтъ нече́стїе, лю́бѧщїи же зако́нъ ѡ҆гражда́ютъ себѣ̀ стѣ́нꙋ.
4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them.
5 Мꙋ́жїе ѕлі́и не ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ютъ сꙋда̀, и҆́щꙋщїи же гдⷭ҇а ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ютъ ѡ҆ все́мъ.
5 Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek Yahweh understand it fully.
6 Лꙋ́чше ни́щь ходѧ́й во и҆́стинѣ, не́жели бога́тъ ло́жь.
6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
7 Храни́тъ зако́нъ сы́нъ разꙋ́мный: а҆ и҆́же пасе́тъ несы́тость, безче́ститъ ѻ҆тца̀ своего̀.
7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
8 Оу҆множа́ѧй бога́тство своѐ съ ли́хвами и҆ прибы̑тки ми́лꙋющемꙋ ни́щыѧ собира́етъ є҆̀.
8 He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.
9 Оу҆кланѧ́ѧй ᲂу҆́хо своѐ не послꙋ́шати зако́на и҆ са́мъ моли́твꙋ свою̀ ѡ҆мерзи́лъ.
9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
10 И҆́же льсти́тъ пра̑выѧ на пꙋтѝ ѕлѣ́мъ, во и҆стлѣ́нїе са́мъ впаде́тъ: беззако́ннїи же минꙋ́ютъ блага̑ѧ и҆ не вни́дꙋтъ въ нѧ̀.
10 Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he will fall into his own trap; but the blameless will inherit good.
11 Премꙋ́дръ ᲂу҆ себє̀ мꙋ́жъ бога́тый, ᲂу҆бо́гїй же разꙋми́въ пре́зритъ є҆го̀.
11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding sees through him.
12 По́мощїю првⷣныхъ мно́га быва́етъ сла́ва, на мѣ́стѣхъ же нечести́выхъ погиба́ютъ человѣ́цы.
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
13 Покрыва́ѧй нече́стїе своѐ не ᲂу҆спѣ́етъ во блага̑ѧ, повѣ́даѧ же ѡ҆бличє́нїѧ возлю́бленъ бꙋ́детъ.
13 He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
14 Блаже́нъ мꙋ́жъ, и҆́же бои́тсѧ всѣ́хъ за благоговѣ́нїе, а҆ жестосе́рдый впа́даетъ во ѕла̑ѧ.
14 Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
15 Ле́въ а҆́лченъ и҆ во́лкъ жа́жденъ, и҆́же тѷра́нствꙋетъ, ни́щь сы́й, над̾ ꙗ҆зы́комъ ᲂу҆бо́гимъ.
15 As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.
16 Ца́рь скꙋ́денъ ᲂу҆ро́комъ вели́къ клеветни́къ (быва́етъ), а҆ ненави́дѧй непра̑вды до́лгѡ лѣ́тъ поживе́тъ.
16 A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.
17 Мꙋ́жа, и҆́же въ винѣ̀ сме́ртнѣ, вырꙋча́ѧй бѣгле́цъ бꙋ́детъ, а҆ не ᲂу҆твержде́нъ. Наказꙋ́й сы́на, и҆ возлю́битъ тѧ̀ и҆ да́стъ лѣ́потꙋ твое́й дꙋшѝ, не послꙋ́шаетъ ꙗ҆зы́ка законопрестꙋ́пна.
17 A man who is tormented by blood guilt will be a fugitive until death. No one will support him.
18 Ходѧ́й пра́веднѡ по́мощь прїи́метъ, ходѧ́й же въ стро́пѡтны пꙋти̑ ᲂу҆вѧ́знетъ.
18 Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.
19 Дѣ́лаѧй свою̀ зе́млю насы́титсѧ хлѣ́бѡвъ, гонѧ́й же пра́здность насы́титсѧ нищеты̀.
19 One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
20 Мꙋ́жъ вѣ́ры досто́йный мно́гѡ благослови́тсѧ, ѕлы́й же не без̾ мꙋче́нїѧ бꙋ́детъ.
20 A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
21 И҆́же не срамлѧ́етсѧ лица̀ првⷣныхъ, не бла́гъ: таковы́й за ᲂу҆крꙋ́хъ хлѣ́ба прода́стъ мꙋ́жа.
21 To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
22 Тщи́тсѧ ѡ҆богати́тисѧ мꙋ́жъ зави́дливъ, и҆ не вѣ́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ ми́лостивый воз̾ѡблада́етъ и҆́мъ.
22 A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.
23 Ѡ҆блича́ѧй человѣ́чы пꙋти̑ благода́ть и҆́мать па́че ѧ҆зы́комъ ласка́ющагѡ.
23 One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
24 И҆́же ѿверга́етъ ѻ҆тца̀ и҆лѝ ма́терь и҆ мни́тсѧ не согрѣша́ти, се́й соприча́стникъ є҆́сть мꙋ́жꙋ нечести́вꙋ.
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,” is a partner with a destroyer.
25 Невѣ́рный мꙋ́жъ сꙋ́дитъ тꙋ́не, а҆ и҆́же надѣ́етсѧ на гдⷭ҇а, въ прилѣжа́нїи бꙋ́детъ.
25 One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper.
26 И҆́же надѣ́етсѧ на де́рзо се́рдце, таковы́й безꙋ́менъ: а҆ и҆́же хо́дитъ въ премꙋ́дрости, спасе́тсѧ.
26 One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
27 И҆́же дае́тъ ᲂу҆бѡ́гимъ, не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́етъ: а҆ и҆́же ѿвраща́етъ ѻ҆́ко своѐ, въ скꙋ́дости бꙋ́детъ мно́зѣ.
27 One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.
28 На мѣ́стѣхъ нечести́выхъ стенѧ́тъ првⷣнїи, въ поги́бели же и҆́хъ ᲂу҆мно́жатсѧ првⷣнїи.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 28:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXIV)

    Or rather even before that loss, no life so wretched as he must live that follows after this; dwelling with continual despondencies, alarms, cares, anxieties; which a certain wise man also was intimating when he said, "The wicked fleeth, when no man is pursuing." For such men tremble at their shadows, suspect their friends, their enemies, their servants, such as …
