Ambacum 1
1 The burden which the prophet Ambacum saw.
Видение, еже виде Аввакум пророк.
2 How long, O Lord, shall I cry out, and you will not listen? [how long] shall I cry out to you being injured, and you will not save?
Доколе, Господи, воззову, и не услышиши? Возопию к Тебе обидимь, и не избавиши?
3 Therefore have you shown me troubles and griefs to look upon, misery and ungodliness? judgement is before me, and the judge receives a reward.
Вскую мне показал еси труды и болезни, смотрити страсть и нечестие? Противу мне бысть суд, и судия вземлет.
4 Therefore the law is frustrated, and judgement proceeds not effectually, for the ungodly [man] prevails over the just; therefore perverse judgement will proceed.
Сего ради разорися закон, и не производится в совершение суд: яко нечестивый преобидит праведнаго, сего ради изыдет суд развращен.
5 Behold, you despisers, and look, and wonder marvellously, and vanish: for I work a work in your days, which you will in no wise believe, though a man declare [it to you].
Видите, презорливии, и смотрите, и чудитеся чудесем и изчезните: понеже дело Аз делаю во днех ваших, емуже не имате веровати, аще кто исповесть вам.
6 Therefore, behold, I stir up the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, that walks upon the breadth of the earth, to inherit tabernacles not his own.
Зане, се, Аз возставляю Халдеи, язык горький и борзый, ходящий по широтам земли, еже наследити селения не своя:
7 He is terrible and famous; his judgement shall proceed of himself, and his dignity shall come out of himself.
страшен и явлен есть, от него суд его будет, и взятие его от него изыдет:
8 And his horses shall bound [more swiftly] than leopards, and [they are] fiercer than the wolves of Arabia: and his horsemen shall ride forth, and shall rush from far; and they shall fly as an eagle hasting to eat.
и изскочат паче рысей кони его и быстрее волков аравийских, и поедут конницы его и устремятся издалеча и полетят аки орел готов на ядь.
9 Destruction shall come upon ungodly men, resisting with their adverse front, and he shall gather the captivity as the sand.
Скончание на нечестивыя приидет, сопротивляющыяся лицам их противу, и соберет яко песок пленники.
10 And he shall be at his ease with kings, and princes are his toys, and he shall mock at every strong-hold, and shall cast a mound, and take possession of it.
И той над царьми посмеется, и мучителие играние его, и той над всякою тверделию поругается, и обложит вал, и возобладает ею.
11 Then shall he change his spirit, and he shall pass through, and make an atonement, [saying], This strength [belongs] to my god.
Тогда пременит дух и прейдет и помолится: сия крепость богу моему.
12 [Are] not you from the beginning, O Lord God, my Holy One? and surely we shall not die. O Lord, you have established it for judgement, and he has formed me to chasten [with] his correction.
Неси ли Ты искони, Господи Боже, Святый мой? И не умрем. Господи, на суд учинил еси его, и созда мя обличати наказание его.
13 [His] eye is too pure to behold evil [doings], and to look upon grievous afflictions: therefore do you look upon despisers? will you be silent when the ungodly swallows up the just?
Чисто око еже не видети зла и взирати на труды болезненныя: вскую призираеши на презорливыя? Премолчаваеши, егда пожирает нечестивый праведнаго?
14 And will you make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the reptiles which have no guide?
И сотвориши человеки яко рыбы морския и яко гады не имущыя старейшины.
15 He has brought up destruction with a hook, and drawn one with a casting net, and caught another in his drags: therefore shall his heart rejoice and be glad.
Скончание удою восхити и привлече его мрежею и собра его сетьми своими: сего ради возвеселится и возрадуется сердце его:
16 Therefore will he sacrifice to his drag, and burn incense to his casting-net, because by them he has made his portion fat, and his meats choice.
сего ради пожрет мрежи своей и покадит сеть свою, яко теми разблажи часть свою и пищи своя избранныя:
17 Therefore will he cast his net, and will not spare to kill the nations continually.
сего ради прострет мрежу свою и присно избивати языков не пощадит.
