Sirach 34 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.
Sirach is not in RV1909.

1 Тщє́тны надє́жды и҆ лжи̑вы (сꙋ́ть) неразꙋ́мивꙋ мꙋ́жꙋ, и҆ сѡ́нїѧ вперѧ́ютъ безꙋ́мныхъ.
·
1 Vain and false hopes are for a man void of understanding. Dreams give wings to fools.
2 Ꙗ҆́коже є҆́млѧйсѧ за стѣ́нь и҆ гонѧ́й вѣ́тры, та́кожде є҆́млѧй вѣ́рꙋ снѡ́мъ:
·
2 As one who grasps at a shadow and follows after the wind, so is he who sets his mind on dreams.
3 сїѐ по семꙋ̀ видѣ́нїе снѡ́въ, прѧ́мѡ лицꙋ̀ подо́бїе лица̀.
·
3 The vision of dreams is a reflection, the likeness of a face near a face.
4 Ѿ нечи́стагѡ что̀ ѡ҆чи́ститсѧ, и҆ ѿ лжи́вагѡ ка́ѧ и҆́стина;
·
4 From an unclean thing what can be cleansed? From that which is false what can be true?
5 Волшє́бства и҆ ѡ҆баѧ̑нїѧ и҆ сѡ́нїѧ сꙋ́єтна сꙋ́ть, и҆ ꙗ҆́коже ражда́ющїѧ се́рдцꙋ мечта̑нїѧ быва́ютъ:
·
5 Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are vain. The heart has fantasies like a woman in labor.
6 а҆́ще не ѿ вы́шнѧгѡ пѡ́слана бꙋ́дꙋтъ на посѣще́нїе, не вда́ждь въ нѧ̀ се́рдца твоегѡ̀:
·
6 If they are not sent in a visitation from the Most High, don’t give your heart to them.
7 мно́гихъ бо прельсти́ша сѡ́нїѧ, и҆ ѿпадо́ша надѣ́ющесѧ на нѧ̀.
·
7 For dreams have led many astray. They have failed by putting their hope in them.
8 Без̾ лжѝ соверши́тсѧ зако́нъ, и҆ премꙋ́дрость во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ вѣ́рныхъ соверше́нїе.
·
8 Without lying the law will be fulfilled. Wisdom is complete in a faithful mouth.
9 Мꙋ́жъ ᲂу҆че́ный ᲂу҆вѣ́да мно́гѡ, и҆ многоискꙋ́сный повѣ́сть ра́зꙋмъ.
·
9 A well-instructed man knows many things. He who has much experience will declare understanding.
10 И҆́же не и҆скꙋси́сѧ, ма́лѡ вѣ́сть: ѡ҆бходѧ́й же страны̑ ᲂу҆мно́житъ хи́трость.
·
10 He who has no experience knows few things. But he who has traveled increases cleverness.
11 Мно́гѡ ви́дѣхъ во ѡ҆бхожде́нїи мое́мъ, и҆ вѧ̑щшаѧ слове́съ мои́хъ ра́зꙋмъ мо́й:
·
11 I have seen many things in my travels. My understanding is more than my words.
12 мно́гащи да́же до сме́рти бѣ́дствовахъ, и҆ спасе́нъ бы́хъ си́хъ ра́ди.
·
12 I was often in danger even to death. I was preserved because of these experiences.
13 Дꙋ́хъ боѧ́щихсѧ гдⷭ҇а поживе́тъ, наде́жда бо и҆́хъ на сп҃са́ющаго ѧ҆̀.
·
13 The spirit of those who fear the Lord will live, for their hope is in him who saves them.
14 Боѧ́йсѧ гдⷭ҇а ничегѡ̀ ᲂу҆бои́тсѧ и҆ не ᲂу҆страши́тсѧ, то́й бо наде́жда є҆мꙋ̀.
·
14 Whoever fears the Lord won’t be afraid, and won’t be a coward, for he is his hope.
15 Боѧ́щемꙋсѧ гдⷭ҇а блаже́нна дꙋша̀: чи́мъ ѡ҆держи́тсѧ, и҆ кто̀ є҆мꙋ̀ ᲂу҆твержде́нїе;
·
15 Blessed is the soul of him who fears the Lord. To whom does he give heed? Who is his support?
16 Ѻ҆́чи гдⷭ҇ни на лю́бѧщыѧ є҆го̀: защище́нїе си́лы и҆ ᲂу҆твержде́нїе крѣ́пости, покро́въ ѿ ва́ра и҆ покро́въ въ полꙋ́дне, хране́нїе ѿ претыка́нїѧ и҆ по́мощь ѿ паде́нїѧ:
·
16 The eyes of the Lord are on those who love him, a mighty protection and strong support, a cover from the hot blast, a shade from the noonday sun, a guard from stumbling, and a help from falling.
17 воздвиза́ѧй дꙋ́шꙋ и҆ просвѣща́ѧй ѻ҆́чи, и҆сцѣле́нїе даѧ́й, живо́тъ и҆ блгⷭ҇ве́нїе.
·
17 He raises up the soul, and enlightens the eyes. He gives health, life, and blessing.
18 И҆́же прино́ситъ же́ртвꙋ ѿ непра́вды, приноше́нїе поро́чно, и҆ не сꙋ́ть во благоволе́нїе да́ры беззако́нныхъ.
·
18 He who sacrifices a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is made in mockery. The mockeries of wicked men are not acceptable.
19 Не бл҃говоли́тъ вы́шнїй ѡ҆ приноше́нїи нечести́выхъ, ни мно́жествомъ же́ртвъ ѡ҆чⷭ҇титъ грѣхѝ.
·
19 The Most High has no pleasure in the offerings of the ungodly, Neither is he pacified for sins by the multitude of sacrifices.
20 Ꙗ҆́кѡ жрѧ́й сы́на пред̾ ѻ҆тце́мъ є҆гѡ̀, та́кѡ приносѧ́й жє́ртвы ѿ и҆мѣ́нїѧ ᲂу҆бо́гихъ.
·
20 Like one who kills a son before his father’s eyes is he who brings a sacrifice from the goods of the poor.
21 Хлѣ́бъ ᲂу҆бѡ́гимъ живо́тъ ᲂу҆бо́гихъ, лиша́ѧй є҆гѡ̀ человѣ́къ крове́й є҆́сть.
·
21 The bread of the needy is the life of the poor. He who deprives him of it is a man of blood.
22 Оу҆бива́етъ и҆́скреннѧго ѿе́млѧй є҆мꙋ̀ поживле́нїе, и҆ пролива́етъ кро́вь лиша́ѧй мзды̀ нае́мника.
·
22 Like one who murders his neighbor is he who takes away his living. Like a shedder of blood is he who deprives a hireling of his hire.
23 Є҆ди́нъ созида́ѧй, а҆ дрꙋгі́й разорѧ́ѧй, что̀ ᲂу҆спѣ́етъ бо́лѣе, то́кмѡ трꙋ́дъ;
·
23 When one builds, and another pulls down, what profit do they have but toil?
24 Є҆ди́номꙋ молѧ́щꙋсѧ, а҆ дрꙋго́мꙋ проклина́ющꙋ, ко́егѡ гла́съ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ влⷣка;
·
24 When one prays, and another curses, whose voice will the Lord listen to?
25 Ѡ҆мыва́ѧйсѧ ѿ мертвеца̀ и҆ па́ки прикаса́ѧйсѧ є҆мꙋ̀, ка́ѧ по́льза є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ ба́ни;
·
25 He who washes himself after touching a dead body, and touches it again, what does he gain by his washing?
26 Та́кѡ человѣ́къ постѧ́йсѧ ѡ҆ грѣсѣ́хъ свои́хъ и҆ па́ки ходѧ́й и҆ та̑ѧжде творѧ́й, мольбꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ кто̀ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ, и҆ что̀ ᲂу҆спѣ̀ смире́нїемъ свои́мъ;
·
26 Even so a man fasting for his sins, and going again, and doing the same, who will listen to his prayer? What profit does he have in his humiliation?
