(ⲁ̅) ϯϭⲓⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲓⲛⲓ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲓ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲕⲁⲓⲥⲓ ⲇⲉ ϯⲟϩⲓ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯϫⲓⲙⲓ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ	(ⲁ︦) ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϥⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ. ϯϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲕⲟⲥⲧ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓϭⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅.	(1) I perish, carried away by the wind, and I seek for burial, and obtain it not.	(1) ὀλέκοµαι πνεύµατι φερόµενος, δέοµαι δὲ ταφῆς καὶ οὐ τυγχάνω.
(ⲃ̅) ϯϯϩⲟ ⲉⲓϧⲟⲥⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϯⲛⲁⲁⲓϥ	(ⲃ︦) ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲓϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉϩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓⲣ̅ ⲟⲩ ϩⲱⲱϥ.	(3) Who is this? let him join hands with me.	(2) λίσσοµαι κάµνων, καὶ τί ποιήσας;

(ⲉ̅) ⲉϥⲉ̀ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲁⲕⲓⲁ ⲛ̀ϯⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲁⲃⲁⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲗ ⲉ̀ⲃⲟⲗ ⲉ̀ϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲁϣⲏⲣⲓ	(ⲉ︦) ⲁ ⲛⲁⲃⲁⲗ ⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϫⲛ̅ ⲛⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ.	(5) He shall promise mischief to his companions: but their eyes have failed for their children.	(5) τῇ µερίδι ἀναγγελεῖ κακίας,ὀφθαλµοὶ δέ µου ἐφ’ υἱοῖς ἐτάκησαν.
(ⲋ̅) ⲁⲩⲭⲁⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϣϫⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲃⲓ	(ⲋ︦) ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ. ⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲃⲉ.	(6) But thou has made me a byword amount the nations, and I am become a scorn to them.	(6) ἔθου δέ µε θρύληµα ἐν ἔθνεσιν, γέλως δὲ αὐτοῖς ἀπέβην·
(ⲍ̅) ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲙⲧ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲃⲁⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲧⲥ ⲉ̀ⲣⲟⲓ ⲙ̀ⲙⲁϣⲱ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ	(ⲍ︦) ⲁ ⲛⲁⲃⲁⲗ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲱⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ ⲧⲁⲟⲣⲅⲏ. ⲁⲩⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ.	(7) For my eyes are dimmed through pain; I have been grievously beset by all.	(7) πεπώρωνται γὰρ ἀπὸ ὀργῆς οἱ ὀφθαλµοί µου, πεπολιόρκηµαι µεγάλως ὑπὸ πάντων.

(8) Wonder has seized true men upon this; and let the just rise up against the transgressor.	(8) θαῦµα ἔσχεν ἀληθινοὺς ἐπὶ τούτῳ· δίκαιος δὲ ἐπὶ παρανόµῳ ἐπανασταίη·
(ⲑ̅) ⲉϥⲉ̀ϭⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̀ⲡⲉϥⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲉ̀ϭⲓ ⲛ̀ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥϫⲓϫ	(ⲑ︦) ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥϩⲓⲏ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϩⲛ̅ ⲛⲉϥϭⲓϫ ϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲕ.	(9) But let the faithful hold on his own way, and let him that is pure of hands take courage.	(9) σχοίη δὲ πιστὸς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ὁδόν, καθαρὸς δὲ χεῖρας ἀναλάβοι θάρσος.
(ⲓ̅) ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲙⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ	(ⲓ︦) ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ϯϭⲛ̅ ⲙⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.	(10) Howbeit, do ye all strengthen yourselves and come now, for I do not find truth in you.	(10) οὐ µὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ πάντες ἐρείδετε, καὶ δεῦτε δή·οὐ γὰρ εὑρίσκω ἐν ὑµῖν ἀληθές.

(13) For if I remain, Hades is my habitation: and my bed has been made in darkness.	(13) ἐὰν γὰρ ὑποµείνω, ᾅδης µου ὁ οἶκος, ἐν δὲ γνόφῳ ἔστρωταί µου ἡ στρωµνή.

(16) Will they go down with me to Hades, or shall we go down together to the tomb?	(16) ἦ µετ’ ἐµοῦ εἰς ᾅδην καταβήσονται, ἢ ὁµοθυµαδὸν ἐπὶ χώµατος καταβησόµεθα;
