Zechariah 7
1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;
И бысть в четвертое лето, при Дарии цари, бысть слово Господне ко Захарии в четвертый месяца девятаго, иже есть Хаселев.
2 When they had sent to the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,
И посла в Вефиль Сарасар и Арвесеер царь и мужие его молити Господа,
3 And to speak to the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
глаголя ко священником, иже во храме Господа (Бога) Вседержителя, и пророком, глаголя: аще вниде зде в пятый месяц святыня, (плачя или постяся, ) якоже сотворих уже многа лета.
4 Then came the word of the LORD of hosts to me, saying,
И бысть слово Господа Вседержителя ко мне глаголя:
5 Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did you at all fast to me, even to me?
рцы ко всем людем земли и ко священником глаголя: аще постистеся или плачевопльствисте в пятинах или седминах (месяца), и се, седмьдесят лет, постом ли постистеся Ми?
6 And when you did eat, and when you did drink, did not you eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
И аще ясте или пиете, не вы ли ясте и пиете?
7 Should you not hear the words which the LORD has cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?
Не сия ли суть словеса, яже глагола Господь руками пророков прежних, егда бе Иерусалим населен и гобзующь, и гради его окрест, и нагорная и подольная населена бяху?
8 And the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко Захарии глаголя:
9 Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: суд праведен судите и милость и щедроты творите кийждо ко брату своему,
10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
а вдовицы и сира, и пришелца и убога не насильствуйте, и злобы кийждо брата своего да не помнит в сердцах своих.
11 But they refused to listen, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
И не покоришася, еже внимати, и даша плещы презирающыя, и ушеса своя отяготиша, еже не слышати,
12 Yes, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts has sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
и сердце свое учиниша непокориво, не послушати закона Моего и словес, яже посла Господь Вседержитель Духом Своим рукою пророков прежних: и бысть гнев великий от Господа Вседержителя.
13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, says the LORD of hosts:
И будет, якоже рече, и не услышаша Его: сице возопиют, и не имам услышати, глаголет Господь Вседержитель:
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
и отвергу я во вся языки, иже не разумеша, и земля запустеет последи их от проходящаго и от возвращающагося: и учиниша избранную землю в запустение.
