Isaiah 28
1 Alas! for the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, And for his fading wreath of majestic beauty, —Which is on the head of the fertile valley, of them who are overcome with wine.
Горе венцу гордыни, наимницы Ефремовы, цвет отпадый от славы, на версе горы тучныя пиянии без вина.
2 Lo! My Lord hath one who is, strong and bold, Like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest, Like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, Hath he thrust it down to the earth with force:
Се, крепка и жестока ярость Господня, аки град низпущаемый не имый крова, насильно низпущаемый: якоже воды многое множество влекущее страну, земли сотворит покой рукама,
3 With the feet shall be trodden down, the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
и ногама поперется венец гордыни, наимницы Ефремовы.
4 So shall his fading wreath of majestic beauty, Which is on the head of the fertile valley, become—Like the first-ripe fig before fruit-harvest, Which when he that looketh upon it seeth while it is yet in his hand, he swalloweth it up.
И будет цвет отпадый от надежды славы на версе горы высокия, аки ранний плод смоквин: видевый его, прежде взятия в руце свои, восхощет поглотити его.
5 In that day, will Yahweh of hosts become A crown of beauty, and A diadem of majesty, —Unto the remnant of his people:
В той день будет Господь Саваоф венец надежди, сплетеный славою оставшымся людем.
6 Even a spirit of justice—to him that presideth over justice, And strength to them who would turn back the battle at the gate.
И оставятся духом судным на суд, и крепость возбраняющих погубляти.
7 But as for these, With wine, do they reel, and With strong drink, do they stagger, —Priest and prophet, reel with strong drink They are swallowed up through wine They stagger through strong drink, They reel in prophetic vision, They totter in pronouncing judgment.
Сии бо вином суть прельщени: прельстишася сикеры ради, жрец и пророк изступиша ума от сикеры, пожерты быша вином, потрясошася от пиянства сикеры, прельстишася: сие есть привидение.
8 For, all tables, are full of filthy vomit, —There is no place!
Проклятие пояст сей совет, сей бо совет ради лихоимства.
9 Whom, would he teach knowledge? And, whom, would he cause to understand the message? Them who are weaned from the milk? taken from the breasts?
Кому возвестихом злая и кому поведахом весть? Иже отдоении (суть) от млека, отторженнии от сосца.
10 For it is—Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, —A little here a little there.
Печали на печаль ожидай, надежды к надежди, еще мало, еще мало,
11 For, with a jabbering lip, and with an alien tongue, must he speak unto this people!
яко худостию устен, языком иным возглаголют людем сим, рекуще им:
12 To whom he said—This, is the rest—give ye rest to the weary, and This, is the quietness, —But they were unwilling to hear.
сей покой алчному и сие сокрушение, и не восхотеша слышати.
13 So the word of Yahweh must be to them—Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, A little here, a little there, —That they may go and fall backward and be torn and snared and captured.
И будет им слово Господа Бога, печаль к печали, надежда к надежди, еще мало, еще мало, да идут и падутся вспять и в беду впадут, и сокрушатся и пленени будут.
14 Wherefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, Ye men who scoff, —Ye rulers of this people that is in Jerusalem.
Сего ради услышите слово Господне, мужие озлобленнии и князи людий сущих во Иерусалиме.
15 Because ye have said—We have solemnised a covenant with death, And with hades, have we effected a vision, —The overflowing scourge when it sweepeth by, shall not reach unto us, For we have made lying our refuge. And in falsehood, have we hid ourselves, (Sheol h7585)
Яко рекосте: сотворихом завет со адом и со смертию сложение: буря носима аще мимоидет, не приидет на нас: положихом лжу надежду нашу и лжею покрыемся. (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! founding in Zion a stone, A stone of testing, The costly corner of a well-laid foundation, he that trusteth, shall not make haste!
Сего ради тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз полагаю во основание Сиону камень многоценен, избран, краеуголен, честен, во основание ему, и веруяй в онь не постыдится:
17 But I will make—Justice the line, and Righteousness the plummet, —And the hail shall, sweep away, your refuge of lying, And your hiding-place, the waters shall overflow;
и положу суд в надежду, милость же моя на мерилех, и уповавшии вотще на лжу, яко не минет вас буря:
18 So shall be wiped out your covenant with death, And your vision with hades, not stand, —When the overflowing scourge, sweepeth past, then shall ye be thereby beaten down: (Sheol h7585)
и не отимет от вас завета смертнаго, и надежда ваша, яже ко аду, не пребудет. Буря идущая аще найдет, будете ей в попрание: (Sheol h7585)
19 As often as it sweepeth past, it shall take you away, For morning by morning, shall it pass along. By day and by night, —And it shall be nothing less than a terror to make out the message;
егда мимоидет, возмет вас: яко по всяко утро преходити будет в день, и в нощи будет надежда зла. Научитеся слышати, утесняемии:
20 For too short is the couch to stretch oneself out, —And, the coverlet, too narrow, when one draweth up his feet.
не можем ратовати, сами же изнемогаем, еже собратися нам.
21 For as in Mount Perazim, will Yahweh, arise, As in the vale of Gibeon, will he be stirred, —To do his work—foreign is his work, And to perform his task—strange is his task.
Якоже гора на нечестивых востанет Господь, и будет (якоже) в дебри Гаваонстей, с яростию сотворит дела Своя, горести дело: ярость же Его чуждо употребится, и погубление Его странно.
22 Now, therefore do not show yourselves scoffers, Lest your fetters, be bound fast, —For, of a full end, and that a decreed one, have I heard from My Lord, Yahweh of hosts upon all the land
И вы не радуйтеся, ниже да возмогут ваши узы: зане скончаны и сокращены вещи слышах от Господа Саваофа, яже сотворит над всею землею.
23 Give ear, and hear ye my voice, —Hearken, and hear ye my speech: —
Внушите и слышите глас мой, внемлите и слышите словеса моя.
24 All day long, doth the plowman plow for sowing? Doth he continue laying open and harrowing his soil?
Еда весь день будет оряй орати? Или семя уготовит прежде возделания земли?
25 Doth he not when he hath levelled the face thereof, Cast abroad the fennel? And, the cummin, doth he not scatter? And plant wheat in rows, And barley in a lot, And spelt in the border thereof?
Не егда ли умягчит лице ея, тогда всеет мало чернухи и кимина, потом же сеет пшеницу и ячмень и просо в пределех твоих?
26 Yea One hath trained him to good judgment, His God, directeth him.
И научишися суду Бога твоего и возрадуешися.
27 For not with a sledge, must, black coriander be threshed, Nor must, the wheel of a cart, on cummin, be turned, But with a staff, must fennel be beaten, And cummin with a rod:
Ибо не с жестокостию очищается чернуха, ниже коло колесничное обыдет кимина, но жезлом истрясается чернуха, кимин же со хлебом снестся.
28 Bread-corn, must be crushed, —Yet would he not be evermore, threshing, it, So he hasteneth over it the wheel of his cart, with his horsemen, He crusheth it not!
Не во век бо Аз разгневаюся на вы, ниже глас гнева Моего поперет вас.
29 Even this, from Yahweh of hosts, cometh forth, —Who hath bestowed distinction upon counsel, And magnified sound wisdom.
И сия от Господа Саваофа изыдоша чудеса: советуйте, вознесите тщетное утешение.
