< Zephaniah 2 >

1 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame,
Соберитеся и свяжитеся, язык ненаказанный,
2 before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD comes on you, before the day of the LORD's anger comes on you.
прежде неже быти вам якоже цвету мимоходящу в день, прежде неже приити на вы гневу Господню, прежде неже приити на вы дню ярости Господни.
3 Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the LORD's anger.
Взыщите Господа, вси смиреннии земли, суд содевайте и правды взыщите, (взыщите кротости) и отвещайте я, яко да покрыетеся в день гнева Господня.
4 For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up.
Зане Газа расхищена будет, и Аскалон во изчезновение будет: и Азот в полудни отвержется, и Аккарон искоренится.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites. The word of the LORD is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you, that there will be no inhabitant.
Горе живущым на ужи морстем, пришелцы Критстии: слово Господне на вас, Ханаане, земле иноплеменников, и погублю вы от жилища:
6 The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.
и будет Крит пажить стадам и ограда овцам,
7 The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for the LORD, their God, will visit them, and restore them.
и будет уже морское оставшым дому Иудина: на них пожируют в домех Аскалоних, к вечеру витати имут от лица сынов Иудиных, яко присети их Господь Бог их и возврати плен их.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the insults of the people of Ammon, with which they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
Слышах поношения Моавля и укоризны сынов Аммоних, о нихже поношаху людем Моим и величахуся на пределы Моя.
9 Therefore as I live, says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, surely Moab will be as Sodom, and the people of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.
Сего ради живу Аз, глаголет Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: зане Моав яко Содома будет, и сынове Аммони яко Гоморра, и Дамаск оставлен яко стог гуменный и разорен во век: и прочии людий Моих расхитят я, и оставшии языка Моего наследят их.
10 This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.
Сие им за досаждение их, зане поносиша и возвеличишася на люди Господа Вседержителя.
11 The LORD will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.
Явится Господь на них и потребит вся боги языков земных: и поклонятся Ему кийждо от места своего, вси острови язычестии.
12 You Cushites also, you will be killed by my sword.
И вы, Мурини, язвени оружием Моим будете.
13 He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness.
И прострет руку Свою на север и погубит Ассирианина, и положит Ниневию во изчезновение безводно, яко пустыню:
14 Herds will lie down in the midst of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.
и пожируют посреде ея стада и вси зверие земнии, и хамелеоны и ежеве во гнездах ея вогнездятся: и зверие возвыют в разселинах ея, и вранове во вратех ея, зане кедр возношение ея.
15 This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, "I am, and there is none besides me." How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in. Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.
Сей град презорливый, живяй на уповании, глаголяй в сердцы своем: аз есмь, и несть по мне еще: како бысть во изчезновение, пажить зверем? Всяк мимоходяй сквозе его позвиждет и воздвигнет руце свои.
