Hosea 10
1 “Israel was [like a large] healthy/luxuriant vine [MET] that produced [a lot of] grapes. But as the people became richer, they made more altars [at which to worship idols]. As the people prospered, they [built and] decorated sacred pillars [that they worshiped].
Израиль - ветвистый виноград, умножает для себя плод: чем более у него плодов, тем более умножает жертвенники; чем лучше земля у него, тем более украшают они кумиры.
2 They are deceitful; [so] now they are guilty and must be punished. [I], Yahweh, will tear down their altars and smash those pillars.
Разделилось сердце их, за то они и будут наказаны: Он разрушит жертвенники их, сокрушит кумиры их.
3 Then they will say, ‘It is because we did not revere Yahweh that we no [longer] have a king. But [even if we had] a king, he certainly could not [RHQ] do anything to help us.’
Теперь они говорят: нет у нас царя, ибо мы не убоялись Господа; а царь, - что он нам сделает?
4 They falsely promise [that they will do many things]; they solemnly promise and make agreements, but they do not do what they promise. So people accuse and sue [each other in the courts]; they are like [SIM] poisonous weeds [that grow] in a plowed field.
Говорят слова пустые, клянутся ложно, заключают союзы; за то явится суд над ними, как ядовитая трава на бороздах поля.
5 The people who live in Samaria [city] are worried about [what may happen to the idol that resembles] a calf [that they set up] at Beth-Aven [town]. The people in Samaria will mourn, and the priests there will cry about it [if it is damaged or destroyed]. [Previously] they shouted joyfully about its being very great; but now it will not be great any more.
За тельца Беф-Авена вострепещут жители Самарии; восплачет о нем народ его, и жрецы его, радовавшиеся о нем, будут плакать о славе его, потому что она отойдет от него.
6 It will be taken to Assyria to be a gift for the great King [of Assyria]. [So the people of] Israel will be disgraced, and they will be ashamed because [they trusted in] that idol.
И сам он отнесен будет в Ассирию, в дар царю Иареву; постыжен будет Ефрем, и посрамится Израиль от замысла своего.
7 The King of Samaria [and the other people in Samaria] will be gone; they will be like [SIM] a twig [that floats away] on the surface of the water [and disappears].
Исчезнет в Самарии царь ее, как пена на поверхности воды.
8 The altars on the tops of hills [where the people worshiped idols] will be destroyed; those have been the places where the people of Israel sinned greatly. Thorns and weeds will grow and cover those altars. Then the people will plead to the mountains and hills, ‘Fall [down and] cover us [to protect us from God punishing us]!’
И истреблены будут высоты Авена, грех Израиля; терние и волчцы вырастут на жертвенниках их, и скажут они горам: покройте нас - и холмам: падите на нас.
9 [You people of] Israel, [ever since your ancestors did evil things] at Gibeah, you have continued to sin. [When the people at] [PRS] Gibeah [did evil things], the result was a war [in which thousands of people died].
Больше, нежели во дни Гивы, грешил ты, Израиль; там они устояли; война в Гаваоне против сынов нечестия не постигла их.
10 [So now], when I want to, I will punish the Israeli people. Because of the many sins that they have committed, [the armies of other] nations will gather to attack them, and they will cause the Israeli people to become their slaves.
По желанию Моему накажу их, и соберутся против них народы, и они будут связаны за двойное преступление их.
11 Israel is [like] [MET] a well-trained (heifer/young cow) that likes to thresh [grain]. [So now you will become slaves]. [It will be as though] I will put a yoke on your neck, and you will be forced to work hard for your enemies in their fields. [You people of] Israel and Judah [will be forced to go to Assyria]; there you [DOU] will pull plows to break up the ground [for planting seeds].
Ефрем - обученная телица, привычная к молотьбе, и Я Сам возложу ярмо на тучную шею его; на Ефреме будут верхом ездить, Иуда будет пахать, Иаков будет боронить.
12 [You plow your fields and plant your seeds] and harvest [your crops] [MET], [but what you need to do is] to act righteously and to faithfully love [me]; you need to repent [MET], because it is time to try to know [me], Yahweh; and if you do that, I will pour out [MET] many blessings on you.
Сейте себе в правду - и пожнете милость; распахивайте у себя новину, ибо время взыскать Господа, чтобы Он, когда придет, дождем пролил на вас правду.
13 You [plant seeds and harvest the crops and eat them]; [but what I consider that you have really done is] that you have planted wicked things and harvested evil things and eaten [MET] the results [IDM] of the lies [that you have told]. [Instead of trusting in me, ] you have (depended on/trusted in) your own power and in your many soldiers.
Вы возделывали нечестие, пожинаете беззаконие, едите плод лжи, потому что ты надеялся на путь твой, на множество ратников твоих.
14 As a result, you will [soon] hear the roar of battle, and all your cities that have walls around them will be destroyed, like [SIM] Shalman’s [army] destroyed Beth-Arbel [city] in a battle, and the women [in that city] and their children were bashed to death.
И произойдет смятение в народе твоем, и все твердыни твои будут разрушены, как Салман разрушил Бет-Арбел в день брани: мать была убита с детьми.
15 [You people of] [APO] Bethel [city], that is what will happen to you, because you are very wicked. And when the sun rises [on that day], the King of Israel will be killed [in the battle].”
Вот что причинит вам Вефиль за крайнее нечестие ваше.
