Sirach 26 Church Slavonic Bible (Elizabeth Bible)
Notes on this text (3)
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.

1 Жены̀ до́брыѧ блаже́нъ є҆́сть мꙋ́жъ, и҆ число̀ дні́й є҆гѡ̀ сꙋгꙋ́бо.
1 Happy is the husband of a good wife. The number of his days will be doubled.
2 Жена̀ до́блѧѧ весели́тъ мꙋ́жа своего̀ и҆ лѣ̑та є҆гѡ̀ и҆спо́лнитъ ми́ромъ.
2 A faithful wife gives joy to her husband. He will fulfill his years in peace.
3 Жена̀ добра̀ ча́сть блага̀, въ ча́сти боѧ́щихсѧ гдⷭ҇а дана̀ бꙋ́детъ.
3 A good wife is a great gift. She will be given to those who fear the Lord.
4 Бога́тагѡ же и҆ ᲂу҆бо́гагѡ се́рдце бла́го, во всѧ́ко вре́мѧ лицѐ ти́хо.
4 Whether a man is rich or poor, a good heart makes a cheerful face at all times.
5 Ѿ тре́хъ ᲂу҆боѧ́сѧ се́рдце моѐ, и҆ ѿ лица̀ четве́ртагѡ ᲂу҆страши́хсѧ:
5 Of three things my heart was afraid, and concerning the fourth kind I made supplication: The slander of a city, the assembly of a mob, and a false accusation. All these are more grievous than death.
6 преда́нїѧ гра́да и҆ собра́нїѧ наро́да, и҆ ѡ҆болга́нїѧ над̾ сме́рть, всѧ̑ тѧ́жєстна.
6 A grief of heart and sorrow is a woman who is jealous of another woman. Her tongue-lashing makes it known to all.
7 Болѣ́знь се́рдца и҆ сѣ́тованїе жена̀ ревни́ва ѡ҆ женѣ̀,
7 A wicked woman is like a chafing yoke. He who takes hold of her is like one who grasps a scorpion.
8 и҆ ꙗ҆́зва ѧ҆зы́ка всѣ̑мъ приѡбща́ющаѧсѧ.
8 A drunken woman causes great wrath. She will not cover her own shame.
9 Воло́вое и҆́го дви́жимо жена̀ лꙋка́вна, держа́йсѧ є҆ѧ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆́млѧйсѧ скорпі́и.
9 The fornication of a woman is in the lifting up of her eyes; it will be known by her eyelids.
10 Гнѣ́въ вели́къ жена̀ пїѧ́нчива, и҆ стꙋда̀ своегѡ̀ не покры́етъ.
10 Keep strict watch on a headstrong daughter, lest she find liberty for herself, and use it.
11 Блꙋ́дъ же́нскїй въ возвыше́нїи ѻ҆че́съ и҆ бровьмѝ є҆ѧ̀ позна́нъ бꙋ́детъ.
11 Watch out for an impudent eye, and don’t be surprised if it sins against you.
12 Над̾ дще́рїю безстꙋ́дною ᲂу҆твердѝ стра́жꙋ, да не попꙋще́нїе ѡ҆брѣ́тши ᲂу҆потреби́тъ себѐ.
12 She will open her mouth like a thirsty traveller, and drink from every water that is near. She will sit down at every post, and open her quiver to any arrow.
13 В̾слѣ́дъ безстꙋ́дна ѻ҆́ка сохрани́сѧ и҆ не диви́сѧ, а҆́ще въ тѧ̀ согрѣши́тъ:
13 The grace of a wife will delight her husband. Her knowledge will strengthen his bones.
14 ꙗ҆́кѡ жа́жденъ пꙋ́тникъ ѿве́рзетъ ᲂу҆ста̀ и҆ ѿ всѧ́кїѧ воды̀ бли́жнїѧ и҆спїе́тъ,
14 A silent woman is a gift of the Lord. There is nothing worth so much as a well-instructed soul.
15 прѧ́мѡ всѧ́кагѡ кола̀ сѧ́детъ и҆ прѧ́мѡ стрѣлы̀ ѿве́рзетъ тꙋ́лъ.
15 A modest woman is grace upon grace. There are no scales that can weigh the value of a self-controlled soul.
16 Благода́ть же́нска возвесели́тъ мꙋ́жа є҆ѧ̀, и҆ кѡ́сти є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆тꙋчни́тъ хꙋдо́жество є҆ѧ̀.
16 As the sun when it arises in the highest places of the Lord, so is the beauty of a good wife in her well-organized home.
17 Даѧ́нїе гдⷭ҇не жена̀ молчали́ва, и҆ нѣ́сть и҆скꙋ́па нака́занныѧ дꙋшѝ.
17 As the lamp that shines upon the holy lampstand, so is the beauty of the face on a well-proportioned body.
18 Благода́ть на благода́ти жена̀ стыдли́ва,
18 As the golden pillars are upon a base of silver, so are beautiful feet with the breasts of one who is steadfast.
19 и҆ нѣ́сть мѣ́рило всѧ́кое досто́йное возде́ржныѧ дꙋшѝ.

27 Є҆два̀ и҆́зметсѧ кꙋпе́цъ ѿ погрѣше́нїѧ, и҆ не ѡ҆правди́тсѧ корче́мникъ ѿ грѣха̀.
28 For two things my heart is grieved, and for the third anger comes upon me: a warrior who suffers for poverty, men of understanding who are counted as garbage, and one who turns back from righteousness to sin— the Lord will prepare him for the sword! 29 It is difficult for a merchant to keep himself from wrong doing, and for a retailer to be acquitted of sin.
