Ezekiel 17
1 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel,
сыне человечь, повеждь повесть и рцы притчу на дом Израилев,
3 and say, Thus says the lord Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar.
и речеши: сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: орел великий, великокрилый, долгий протяжением, исполнь ногтей, иже имать повеление внити в Ливан, и взя избранныя кедра,
4 He cropped off the topmost of the young twigs of it, and carried it to a land of merchandise. He set it in a city of merchants.
и верхи мягкости острога, и принесе я в землю Хананейску, во граде огражденнем положи я:
5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil. He placed it beside many waters. He set it as a willow tree.
и взя от семене земнаго и даде е на поли плодне, (да утвердит корение) над водами многими, видено учини е:
6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots of it were under him. So it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
и прозябе и бысть в виноград немощен и мал величеством, еже являтися лозию его на нем, и корение его под ним бяше: и бысть в виноград, и сотвори розги, и простре отрасли своя.
7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers. And, behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.
И бысть орел другий велик, великокрилный, мног ногтьми, и се, виноград сей оплетаяся об нем: и корение его к нему, и лозие свое испусти ему, еже напаяти себе со грудием сада своего.
8 It was planted in a good soil by many waters that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit that it might be a goodly vine.
На поли добре, на воде мнозе питается той, еже сотворити прозябения и приносити плод, еже быти в виноград велик.
9 Say thou, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Shall it flourish? Shall he not pull up the roots of it, and cut off the fruit of it, that it may wither? It shall wither in all its fresh springing leaves, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots of it.
Сего ради рцы: сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: еда исправится? Не корение ли мягкоты его и плод изгниет? И изсхнут вся леторасли его, и не мышцею ли великою, ни людьми многими еже исторгнути его из корения его?
10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it flourish? Shall it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it? It shall wither in the beds where it grew.
И се, тыет: еда успеет? Не абие ли, егда коснется ему ветр знойный, посхнет сухотою? Со грудием прозябения своего изсхнет.
11 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? Tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king of it, and the rulers of it, and brought them to him to Babylon.
сыне человечь, рцы ко дому прогневляющему мя: не весте ли, что суть сия? Рцы им: се, грядет царь Вавилонск на Иерусалим, и возмет царя его и князя его, и отведет я к себе в Вавилон:
13 And he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him. He also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land,
и поймет от племене царска, и завещает с ним завет, и введет его в клятве, и старейшины земли возмет,
14 that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.
еже быти в царство немощно, еже весьма не возноситися, (но) хранити завет его и стояти в нем:
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt that they might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper? Shall he escape who does such things? Shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
и отвержется от него посылая послы своя во Египет дати ему кони и люди многи: еда исправит? Спасется ли творяй сопротивная? И преступаяй завет спасется ли?
16 As I live, says the lord Jehovah, surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
Живу Аз, глаголет Адонаи Господь, аще не на месте, идеже царь воцаривый его, иже похули клятву Мою и иже преступи завет Мой, с ним среде Вавилона скончается.
17 Nor shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war when they cast up mounds and build forts to cut off many persons.
И не в силе велицей, ниже в народе мнозе сотворит с ним фараон брань во острозе и в сограждении стрельниц, еже изяти душы многи.
18 For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant. And, behold, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things. He shall not escape.
И похули клятву, еже преступити завет, и се, даде руку свою и вся сия сотвори ему: не спасется.
19 Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: As I live, surely my oath that he has despised, and my covenant that he has broken, I will even bring it upon his own head.
Сего ради рцы: сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: живу Аз, аще не клятву Мою, юже похули, и завет Мой, егоже преступи, дам на главу его:
20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare. And I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.
и простру мрежу Мою нань, и ят будет во одержании ея: и приведу его в Вавилон и разсуждуся с ним тамо о неправде его, еюже неправдова ко Мне:
21 And all his fugitives in all his groups shall fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be scattered toward every wind. And ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
и вси избегшии его и вси избраннии со всеми ополчении его мечем падут, и вся оставшая их разсею по всему ветру, и увесте, яко Аз Господь глаголах.
22 Thus says the lord Jehovah: I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it. I will crop off a tender one from the topmost of its young twigs, and I will plant it upon a high and lofty mountain.
Сего ради сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: и возму Аз от избранных кедра высокаго от верха и дам от главы отраслей его, сердца их остружу и насажду аз на горе высоце:
23 I will plant it in the mountain of the height of Israel, and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar. And all birds of every wing shall dwell under it; they shall dwell in the shade of the branches thereof.
и повешу и в горе высоце Израилеве и насажду и, и прорастит отрасль и сотворит плод и будет в кедр велик: и почиет под ним всяк зверь, и под сению его почиет всяка птица, и лозие его паки устроятся:
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I, Jehovah, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish. I, Jehovah, have spoken and have done it.
и увесть всяко древо полевое, яко Аз Господь смиряяй древо высокое и возносяй древо смиренное, и изсушаяй древо зеленое и проращаяй древо сухое: Аз Господь глаголах и сотворю.
