Hosea 7
1 When I heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim will be exposed, as well as the crimes of Samaria. For they practice deceit and thieves break in; bandits raid in the streets.
Егда изцелю Израиля, и открыется неправда Ефремова и злоба Самарийска, яко соделаша лжу: и тать к нему внидет, совлачаяй разбойник на пути его:
2 But they fail to consider in their hearts that I remember all their evil. Now their deeds are all around them; they are before My face.
яко да воспоют вкупе, аки поющии сердцем своим. Вся злобы их помянух: ныне обыдоша их совети их, противу лицу Ми быша.
3 They delight the king with their evil, and the princes with their lies.
Злобами своими возвеселиша царя и лжами своими князей.
4 They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by a baker who needs not stoke the fire from the kneading to the rising of the dough.
Вси любодеющии, яко пещь жегома на печение сожжения от пламене, от примешения тука, дондеже вскиснет то все.
5 The princes are inflamed with wine on the day of our king; so he joins hands with those who mock him.
Во дни царей ваших начаша князи яритися от вина, простроша руки своя с губительми:
6 For they prepare their heart like an oven while they lie in wait; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
зане разгорешася яко пещь сердца их, внегда устремлятися им: всю нощь сна Ефрем насытися, заутра бысть, и разгореся яко пламень огненный.
7 All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings fall; not one of them calls upon Me.
Вси согреяшася, яко пещь жегома, и огнь пояде судий их: вси царие их падоша, не бе в них моляйся ко Мне.
8 Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is an unturned cake.
Ефрем в людех своих сам смесяшеся, Ефрем бысть опреснок необращаемь.
9 Foreigners consume his strength, but he does not notice. Even his hair is streaked with gray, but he does not know.
И снедоша чуждии крепость его, сей же не разуме: и седины явишася на нем, он же не позна.
10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God; despite all this, they do not seek Him.
И смирится укоризна Израилева в лице ему: и не возвратишася ко Господу Богу своему и не взыскаша Его во всех сих.
11 So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove— calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria.
И бяше Ефрем яко голубь безумный, не имый сердца: Египта моляше, и во Ассирианы отидоша.
12 As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air. I will chastise them when I hear them flocking together.
Якоже идут, возложу на ня мрежу Мою, якоже птицы небесныя свергу я, накажу я в слух скорбения их.
13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against Me! Though I would redeem them, they speak lies against Me.
Горе им, яко отскочиша от Мене: боязливи суть, яко нечествоваша ко Мне: Аз же избавих я, сии же возглаголаша на Мя лжу.
14 They do not cry out to Me from their hearts when they wail upon their beds. They slash themselves for grain and new wine, but turn away from Me.
И не возопиша ко Мне сердца их, но плакахуся на ложах своих: о пшенице и вине сечахуся.
15 Although I trained and strengthened their arms, they plot evil against Me.
Накажутся Мною, Аз же укрепих мышцу их, и на Мя помыслиша злая.
16 They turn, but not to the Most High; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword for the cursing of their tongue; for this they will be ridiculed in the land of Egypt.
Совратишася ни во чтоже, быша яко лук напряжен: падутся князи их мечем ради ненаказания языка своего. Сие ругание их в земли Египетстей.
