Nahum 3
1 Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery—no end to the prey.
О, граде кровей, весь лживый, полн неправды! Не осяжется ловитва.
2 The noise of the whip, the noise of the rattling of wheels, prancing horses, and bounding chariots,
Глас бичей и глас труса колес, и коня текуща и колесницы шумящия,
3 the horseman charging, and the flashing sword, the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies. They stumble on their bodies
и конника едуща, и блистающа меча и блистающих оружий, и множества язвеных и тяжкаго падения, и не бяше конца языком ея: и изнемогут в телесех своих от множества блужения.
4 because of the multitude of the prostitution of the alluring prostitute, the mistress of witchcraft, who sells nations through her prostitution, and families through her witchcraft.
Блудница добра и приятна, началница волхвований, продающая языки во блужении своем и племена в чародеяниих своих.
5 “Behold, I am against you,” says the LORD of Armies, “and I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.
Се, Аз на тя, глаголет Господь Бог Вседержитель, и открыю задняя твоя к лицу твоему, и покажу языком срамоту твою и царствам безчестие твое,
6 I will throw abominable filth on you and make you vile, and will make you a spectacle.
и возвергу на тя огнушение по нечистотам твоим, и положу тя в притчу.
7 It will happen that all those who look at you will flee from you, and say, ‘Nineveh is laid waste! Who will mourn for her?’ Where will I seek comforters for you?”
И будет, всяк видяй тя снидет с тебе и речет: окаянная Ниневиа, кто постенет по ней? Откуду взыщу утешение ей?
8 Are you better than No-Amon, who was situated among the rivers, who had the waters around her, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea?
Уготовити часть, устроити струну, уготовити часть Аммону, живущая в реках, вода окрест ея, ейже начало море, и вода забрала ея:
9 Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength. Put and Libya were her helpers.
и Ефиопиа крепость ея и Египет, и несть конца бегству твоему: и Фуд и Ливиане быша помощницы ея.
10 Yet was she carried away. She went into captivity. Her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets, and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
И сия в преселение пойдет пленница, и младенцы ея разбиют в началех всех путий ея, и о всех славных ея вергут жребия, и вси воеводы ея свяжутся путы.
11 You also will be drunken. You will be hidden. You also will seek a stronghold because of the enemy.
И ты упиешися и будеши презрена, и ты сама себе взыщеши помощи от враг.
12 All your fortresses will be like fig trees with the first-ripe figs. If they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.
Вся твердели твоя яко смоквичие стражу имущее: аще поколеблются, впадут во уста ядущаго.
13 Behold, your troops among you are women. The gates of your land are set wide open to your enemies. The fire has devoured your bars.
Се, людие твои, яко жены в тебе: врагом твоим отворяема отворятся врата земли твоея, и пояст огнь вереи твоя.
14 Draw water for the siege. Strengthen your fortresses. Go into the clay, and tread the mortar. Make the brick kiln strong.
Воду одержания восхити себе сама и утверди твердели твоя: влези в брение и поперися в плевах, утверди паче плинфа.
15 There the fire will devour you. The sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the grasshopper. Multiply like grasshoppers. Multiply like the locust.
Тамо пояст тя огнь, потребит тя мечь, поядят тя аки прузи, и отягчаеши аки мшица.
16 You have increased your merchants more than the stars of the skies. The grasshopper strips and flees away.
Умножила еси купли твоя паче звезд небесных: мшицы устремишася и возлетеша.
17 Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
Возскочи аки пруг смесник твой, аки акрида восходящая на ограду в день студеный: солнце взыде, и отлете, и не познася место ея: люте им!
18 Your shepherds slumber, king of Assyria. Your nobles lie down. Your people are scattered on the mountains, and there is no one to gather them.
Воздремашася пастуси твои, царь Ассирийск успи сильныя твоя, воздвигошася людие твои на горы, и не бяше приемлющаго.
19 There is no healing your wound, for your injury is fatal. All who hear the report of you clap their hands over you, for who has not felt your endless cruelty?
Несть цельбы сокрушению твоему, разгореся язва твоя: вси слышащии весть твою восплещут руками о тебе: понеже на кого не найде злоба твоя всегда?
