Isaiah 10
1 Terrible things will happen to you judges who are unjust and who make unfair laws.
Горе тем, которые постановляют несправедливые законы и пишут жестокие решения,
2 You refuse to help poor people, and you do not allow them to get the things that they should get. You [allow people to] steal things from widows and do unfair things to orphans.
чтобы устранить бедных от правосудия и похитить права у малосильных из народа Моего, чтобы вдов сделать добычею своею и ограбить сирот.
3 When I punish you by sending people from distant lands to cause you to experience disasters, (to whom will you run to get help?/there will be no one who can help you.) [RHQ] Your valuable possessions will certainly [not be safe] [RHQ] anywhere.
И что вы будете делать в день посещения, когда придет гибель издалека? К кому прибегнете за помощью? И где оставите богатство ваше?
4 You will be able only to stumble along as you are taken away with other prisoners, or [else] your corpses will lie on the ground with others who have been killed. But even after that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry with you. He will still be ready to strike you again with his fist.
Без Меня согнутся между узниками и падут между убитыми. При всем этом не отвратится гнев Его, и рука Его еще простерта.
5 [Yahweh says], “Terrible things will happen to Assyria. [It is true that their army] is like a rod/club [DOU] with which I [punish other nations] because I am very angry with those nations [DOU].
О, Ассур, жезл гнева Моего! и бич в руке его - Мое негодование!
6 [Sometimes] I send the armies of Assyria to attack a godless nation, to fight against [other] people who have caused me to be angry. I send them to capture people and to seize and take away their possessions, and to trample them like [SIM] people walk on mud in the streets.
Я пошлю его против народа нечестивого и против народа гнева Моего, дам ему повеление ограбить грабежом и добыть добычу и попирать его, как грязь на улицах.
7 But the [king of Assyria] does not understand, he does not realize [that he is only like a weapon in my hand]. He wants [only] to destroy people, to get rid of many nations.
Но он не так подумает и не так помыслит сердце его; у него будет на сердце - разорить и истребить немало народов.
8 He says, ‘All of my army commanders will soon be kings [of these nations that I conquer]!
Ибо он скажет: “не все ли цари князья мои?
9 We destroyed Calno [city] like we destroyed Carchemish [city], We destroyed Hamath [city] like we destroyed Arpad [city]; we destroyed Samaria just like we destroyed Damascus.
Халне не то же ли, что Кархемис? Емаф не то же ли, что Арпад? Самария не то же ли, что Дамаск?
10 We were able to destroy [all] those kingdoms [that were full] of idols, kingdoms whose idols were greater than the idols in Jerusalem and Samaria.
Так как рука моя овладела царствами идольскими, в которых кумиров более, нежели в Иерусалиме и Самарии, -
11 So we will defeat Jerusalem and destroy the idols that are there, just like we destroyed Samaria and the idols that were there!’
то не сделаю ли того же с Иерусалимом и изваяниями его, что сделал с Самариею и идолами ее?”
12 [But, I, Yahweh, say that] after I [have used Assyria to] finish what I want to do to punish the people in Jerusalem [DOU], I will punish the king of Assyria because he has been very proud and arrogant/boastful [DOU].
И будет, когда Господь совершит все Свое дело на горе Сионе и в Иерусалиме, скажет: посмотрю на успех надменного сердца царя Ассирийского и на тщеславие высоко поднятых глаз его.
13 He says, ‘By my own great power [MTY] I have done these things. I have been able to do them because I am very wise and very intelligent. My army removed the barriers [at the borders] of nations and carried away all their valuable things. My army has knocked down their kings like [SIM] a ferocious bull would.
Он говорит: “силою руки моей и моею мудростью я сделал это, потому что я умен: и переставляю пределы народов, и расхищаю сокровища их, и низвергаю с престолов, как исполин,
14 Like [MET] a farmer reaches into a bird’s nest [to take away the eggs], we have taken away the treasures of other countries [DOU]. The people were not like birds that would flap their wings or chirp loudly [to protest about their eggs being stolen]; the people did not object at all [to their treasures being stolen].’
и рука моя захватила богатство народов, как гнезда; и как забирают оставленные в них яйца, так забрал я всю землю, и никто не пошевелил крылом, и не открыл рта, и не пискнул”.
15 [But I, Yahweh, say that] an axe certainly cannot [RHQ] boast about being stronger than the person who uses it, and a saw is not greater than the person who uses it. A rod cannot control the one who holds it [RHQ], and a wooden club cannot lift up a person [RHQ]. [So the king of Assyria should not boast that he has done these things with his own wisdom and strength].
Величается ли секира пред тем, кто рубит ею? Пила гордится ли пред тем, кто двигает ее? Как будто жезл восстает против того, кто поднимает его; как будто палка поднимается на того, кто не дерево!
16 And [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, will send a plague among the proud soldiers of Assyria; it will be like [MET] a fire that will kill them and get rid of their glory/wealth.
За то Господь, Господь Саваоф, пошлет чахлость на тучных его, и между знаменитыми его возжет пламя, как пламя огня.
17 [I], Yahweh, who am like [MET] a light for the people of Israel, will be the fire; [I], the Holy One, will be like a flame. [The soldiers of Assyria are like] [MET] thorns and briers, and I will burn them up in one night.
Свет Израиля будет огнем, и Святый его - пламенем, которое сожжет и пожрет терны его и волчцы его в один день;
18 There are glorious forests and fertile farmlands in Assyria, but I will completely destroy them; they will be like [SIM] a [very] sick person who shrivels up and then dies.
и славный лес его и сад его, от души до тела, истребит; и он будет, как чахлый умирающий.
19 There will be very few trees left in those forests; even a child will be able to count them.”
И остаток дерев леса его так будет малочислен, что дитя в состоянии будет сделать опись.
20 In the future there will be only a few people left in Israel; not many descendants of Jacob will still be alive. [But] they will no longer rely on [the king of Assyria], [the king of the nation] that tried to destroy them. Instead, they will faithfully/sincerely trust in Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel.
И будет в тот день: остаток Израиля и спасшиеся из дома Иакова не будут более полагаться на того, кто поразил их, но возложат упование на Господа, Святаго Израилева, чистосердечно.
21 Those Israelis will return to their mighty God.
Остаток обратится, остаток Иакова - к Богу сильному.
22 [Now], the people of Israel are as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore, but only a few of them will return [from the countries to which they were exiled]. Yahweh has decided to destroy [most of the Israelis] and that is what [he must do because he is completely] just/righteous.
Ибо, хотя бы народа у тебя, Израиль, было столько, сколько песку морского, только остаток его обратится; истребление определено изобилующею правдою;
23 [Yes, ] the Commander of the armies of angels has [already] decided to destroy the entire land [of Israel].
ибо определенное истребление совершит Господь, Господь Саваоф, во всей земле.
24 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “My people in Jerusalem, do not be afraid of the army of Assyria when they beat you with rods and clubs, like the men of Egypt did [to your ancestors long ago].
Посему так говорит Господь, Господь Саваоф: народ Мой, живущий на Сионе! не бойся Ассура. Он поразит тебя жезлом и трость свою поднимет на тебя, как Египет.
25 Soon I will no longer be angry with you, and [then] I will be angry with the people of Assyria and destroy them!”
Еще немного, очень немного, и пройдет Мое негодование, и ярость Моя обратится на истребление их.
26 The Commander of the armies of angels will whip them. He will do to them like he did when he helped Gideon [and his 300 soldiers] to defeat the [army of the] Midian people-group, and like he did when he showed his mighty power [MTY] [by causing the army of Egypt to drown] in the [Red] Sea.
И поднимет Господь Саваоф бич на него, как во время поражения Мадиама у скалы Орива, или как простер на море жезл, и поднимет его, как на Египет.
27 Some day, Yahweh will cause the army of Assyria to stop oppressing you, [his people]; he will end your suffering and your being slaves of the people of Assyria [MET]; he will take away the load that you people of Judah have been carrying, and cause things to go well for you.
И будет в тот день: снимется с рамен твоих бремя его, и ярмо его - с шеи твоей; и распадется ярмо от тука.
28 [The army of Assyria will enter northern Judah] near Aiath [town], they will go through Migron [town] and store their supplies at Micmash [town north of Jerusalem].
Он идет на Аиаф, проходит Мигрон, в Михмасе складывает свои запасы.
29 They will cross through a mountain pass and set up their tents at Geba [town]. [People in] Ramah [town] will tremble [because of being afraid]. [The people of] Gibeah [town], where King Saul [was born], will [all] run away.
Проходят теснины; в Геве ночлег их; Рама трясется; Гива Саулова разбежалась.
30 You people of Gallim [town] will cry out [for help]. You will shout to [the people of] Laish [city near Jerusalem] to warn them! [The people of] Anathoth [town] will suffer a lot.
Вой голосом твоим, дочь Галима; пусть услышит тебя Лаис, бедный Анафоф!
31 [The people of] Madmenah [town north of Jerusalem will all] be running away, and [the people of] Gebim [town close to Jerusalem] will be trying to hide.
Мадмена разбежалась, жители Гевима спешат уходить.
32 The soldiers of Assyria will stop at Nob [city outside Jerusalem]. They will shake their fists [as they threaten the people] on Zion Hill in Jerusalem.
Еще день простоит он в Нове; грозит рукою своею горе Сиону, холму Иерусалимскому.
33 But listen to this! The Commander of the armies of angels with his great power will destroy [MET] the mighty army of Assyria. [It is as though they are] a huge tree [MET] that he will cut down.
Вот, Господь, Господь Саваоф, страшною силою сорвет ветви дерев, и величающиеся ростом будут срублены, высокие повержены на землю.
34 He will destroy the [soldiers of Assyria] like men use big axes to cut down the tall trees in the forests of Lebanon.
И посечет чащу леса железом, и Ливан падет от Всемогущего.
