Isaiah 19
1 [I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Egypt: “Listen to this! I, Yahweh, am coming to Egypt, riding on a fast-moving cloud. The idols in Egypt will tremble when [I appear], and the people of Egypt will be extremely afraid [IDM].
Пророчество о Египте. - Вот, Господь восседит на облаке легком и грядет в Египет. И потрясутся от лица Его идолы Египетские, и сердце Египта растает в нем.
2 I will cause the people of Egypt to fight against each other: men will fight against their brothers, neighbors will fight against each other, people of one city will fight against the people of another city, people of one province will fight against the people of another province.
Я вооружу Египтян против Египтян; и будут сражаться брат против брата и друг против друга, город с городом, царство с царством.
3 The people of Egypt will become very discouraged, and I will cause their plans not to be successful. They will plead with idols and sorcerers and those who talk with spirits of dead people to tell them what they should do.
И дух Египта изнеможет в нем, и разрушу совет его, и прибегнут они к идолам и к чародеям, и к вызывающим мертвых и к гадателям.
4 Then I will enable someone who will treat them very cruelly to become their king [DOU].” That is what I, the Commander of the armies of angels, say.
И предам Египтян в руки властителя жестокого, и свирепый царь будет господствовать над ними, говорит Господь, Господь Саваоф.
5 [Some day] the water in the [Nile] River will dry up, and the riverbed will become very dry [DOU].
И истощатся воды в море, и река иссякнет и высохнет;
6 The branches of the river will all dry up [DOU] The canals along the river will stink because of the rotting reeds and (bulrushes/tall grass).
и оскудеют реки, и каналы Египетские обмелеют и высохнут; камыш и тростник завянут.
7 All the plants along the river and all the crops will dry up; then they will blow away and disappear.
Поля при реке, по берегам реки, и все, посеянное при реке, засохнет, развеется и исчезнет.
8 The fishermen will throw into the river lines with hooks on them and nets, and then they will groan and be very discouraged; they will be sad [because there will be no fish in the river].
И восплачут рыбаки, и возрыдают все, бросающие уду в реку, и ставящие сети в воде впадут в уныние;
9 Those who weave cloth from flax will not know what to do, because there will be no thread for them to weave.
и будут в смущении обрабатывающие лен и ткачи белых полотен;
10 They will all despair and be very discouraged.
и будут сокрушены сети, и все, которые содержат садки для живой рыбы, упадут в духе.
11 The officials in Zoan [city in northern Egypt] are foolish. The advice that they gave to the king was worthless. Why do they continue to tell the king that they are wise, that they are descendants of wise kings who lived long ago [RHQ]?
Так! обезумели князья Цоанские; совет мудрых советников фараоновых стал бессмысленным. Как скажете вы фараону: “я сын мудрецов, сын царей древних?”
12 King, (where are your wise counselors now?/You have no wise counselors now!) [RHQ] If you had any wise counselors, they could tell you what the Commander of the armies of angels has planned to do to Egypt [SAR]!
Где они? где твои мудрецы? пусть они теперь скажут тебе; пусть узнают, что Господь Саваоф определил о Египте.
13 [Yes], the officials of Zoan have become foolish, and the leaders in Memphis [city in northern Egypt] have deceived themselves. [All] leaders of the people have (caused their people to do wrong things/led their people astray).
Обезумели князья Цоанские; обманулись князья Мемфисские, и совратил Египет с пути главы племен его.
14 Yahweh has caused them to be very foolish, with the result that in everything that they do, [it is as though the people of] Egypt stagger like [SIM] a drunken person staggers [and slips] in his own vomit.
Господь послал в него дух опьянения; и они ввели Египет в заблуждение во всех делах его, подобно тому, как пьяный бродит по блевотине своей.
15 There is no one in Egypt, rich or poor, important or unimportant, [who will be able to help them].
И не будет в Египте такого дела, которое совершить умели бы голова и хвост, пальма и трость.
16 At that time, the people of Egypt will be [as helpless] as [SIM] women. They will tremble, being terrified [because they know that] the Commander of the armies of angels has raised his fist, [ready to strike/punish them].
В тот день Египтяне будут подобны женщинам, и вострепещут и убоятся движения руки Господа Саваофа, которую Он поднимет на них.
17 The people of Egypt will be afraid of the people of Judah, and anyone who mentions Judah to them will cause them to be terrified, because [that will remind them] of what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels, is planning to do to them.
Земля Иудина сделается ужасом для Египта; кто вспомнит о ней, тот затрепещет от определения Господа Саваофа, которое Он постановил о нем.
18 At that time, [people in] five cities in Egypt will solemnly declare that they will serve Yahweh. They will [learn to] speak the Hebrew language. One of those cities will be called ‘City of the Sun’.
В тот день пять городов в земле Египетской будут говорить языком Ханаанским и клясться Господом Саваофом; один назовется городом солнца.
19 At that time, there will be an altar for worshiping Yahweh in the center of Egypt, and there will be a (pillar/large rock) to honor Yahweh at the border [between Egypt and Israel].
В тот день жертвенник Господу будет посреди земли Египетской, и памятник Господу - у пределов ее.
20 That will be a sign to indicate that the Commander of the armies of angels is worshiped in the land of Egypt. And when the people cry out to Yahweh to help them because others are (oppressing them/causing them to suffer), he will send to them someone who will defend and rescue them.
И будет он знамением и свидетельством о Господе Саваофе в земле Египетской, потому что они воззовут к Господу по причине притеснителей, и Он пошлет им спасителя и заступника, и избавит их.
21 Yahweh will enable the people of Egypt to know who he is, and at that time they will have a close relationship with Yahweh and worship him and bring to him offerings of grain and other sacrifices. They will solemnly promise to do things for Yahweh, and they will do what they promise.
И Господь явит Себя в Египте; и Египтяне в тот день познают Господа и принесут жертвы и дары, и дадут обеты Господу, и исполнят.
22 After Yahweh has punished Egypt, he will cause their troubles to end. The people of Egypt will turn to Yahweh, and he will listen when they plead to him [for help], and he will cause their troubles to cease.
И поразит Господь Египет; поразит и исцелит; они обратятся к Господу, и Он услышит их, и исцелит их.
23 At that time, there will be a highway between Egypt and Assyria. [As a result], the people of Egypt will [be able to] travel [easily] to Assyria, and the people of Assyria [will be able to travel easily] to Egypt. And the people of both countries will worship [Yahweh].
В тот день из Египта в Ассирию будет большая дорога, и будет приходить Ассур в Египет, и Египтяне - в Ассирию; и Египтяне вместе с Ассириянами будут служить Господу.
24 And Israel will be their ally. All three nations will be [friendly to] each other, and the people of Israel will be a blessing to the people of the entire world.
В тот день Израиль будет третьим с Египтом и Ассириею; благословение будет посреди земли,
25 The Commander of the armies of angels will bless them, saying, “[You people of] Egypt are now my people. You people of Assyria, I have established your country. You people of Israel are the people whom I have chosen to belong to me.”
которую благословит Господь Саваоф, говоря: благословен народ Мой - Египтяне, и дело рук Моих - Ассирияне, и наследие Мое - Израиль.
