Nahum 3
1 Woe to the city full of blood! It is all full of lies and stolen property; victims are always in her.
О, граде кровей, весь лживый, полн неправды! Не осяжется ловитва.
2 But now there is the noise of whips and the sound of rattling wheels, prancing horses, and bounding chariots.
Глас бичей и глас труса колес, и коня текуща и колесницы шумящия,
3 There are attacking horsemen, flashing swords, glittering spears, heaps of corpses, great piles of bodies. There is no end to the bodies; their attackers stumble over them.
и конника едуща, и блистающа меча и блистающих оружий, и множества язвеных и тяжкаго падения, и не бяше конца языком ея: и изнемогут в телесех своих от множества блужения.
4 This is happening because of the lustful actions of the beautiful prostitute, the expert in witchcraft, who sells nations through her prostitution, and peoples through her acts of witchcraft.
Блудница добра и приятна, началница волхвований, продающая языки во блужении своем и племена в чародеяниих своих.
5 “See, I am against you—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—I will raise up your skirt over your face and show your private parts to the nations, your shame to the kingdoms.
Се, Аз на тя, глаголет Господь Бог Вседержитель, и открыю задняя твоя к лицу твоему, и покажу языком срамоту твою и царствам безчестие твое,
6 I will throw disgusting filth on you and make you vile; I will make you someone that everyone will look at.
и возвергу на тя огнушение по нечистотам твоим, и положу тя в притчу.
7 It will come about that everyone who looks at you will flee from you and say, 'Nineveh is destroyed; who will weep for her?' Where can I find anyone to comfort you?”
И будет, всяк видяй тя снидет с тебе и речет: окаянная Ниневиа, кто постенет по ней? Откуду взыщу утешение ей?
8 Nineveh, are you better than Thebes, that was built on the Nile River, that had water around her, whose defense was the ocean, whose wall was the sea itself?
Уготовити часть, устроити струну, уготовити часть Аммону, живущая в реках, вода окрест ея, ейже начало море, и вода забрала ея:
9 Cush and Egypt were her strength, and there was no end to it; Put and Libya were allies to her.
и Ефиопиа крепость ея и Египет, и несть конца бегству твоему: и Фуд и Ливиане быша помощницы ея.
10 Yet Thebes was carried away; she went into captivity; her young children were dashed in pieces at the head of every street; her enemies threw lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
И сия в преселение пойдет пленница, и младенцы ея разбиют в началех всех путий ея, и о всех славных ея вергут жребия, и вси воеводы ея свяжутся путы.
11 You also will become drunk; you will try to hide, and you will also look for a refuge from your enemy.
И ты упиешися и будеши презрена, и ты сама себе взыщеши помощи от враг.
12 All your fortresses will be like fig trees with the earliest ripe figs: if they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.
Вся твердели твоя яко смоквичие стражу имущее: аще поколеблются, впадут во уста ядущаго.
13 See, the people among you are women; the gates of your land have been opened wide to your enemies; fire has devoured their bars.
Се, людие твои, яко жены в тебе: врагом твоим отворяема отворятся врата земли твоея, и пояст огнь вереи твоя.
14 Go draw water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses; go into the clay and tread the mortar; pick up the molds for the bricks.
Воду одержания восхити себе сама и утверди твердели твоя: влези в брение и поперися в плевах, утверди паче плинфа.
15 Fire will devour you there, and the sword will destroy you. It will devour you as young locusts devour everything. Make yourselves as many as the young locusts, as many as the full-grown locusts.
Тамо пояст тя огнь, потребит тя мечь, поядят тя аки прузи, и отягчаеши аки мшица.
16 You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars in the heavens; but they are like young locusts: they plunder the land and then fly away.
Умножила еси купли твоя паче звезд небесных: мшицы устремишася и возлетеша.
17 Your princes are as many as the full-grown locusts, and your generals are like swarms of them that camp in the walls on a cold day. But when the sun rises they fly away to no one knows where.
Возскочи аки пруг смесник твой, аки акрида восходящая на ограду в день студеный: солнце взыде, и отлете, и не познася место ея: люте им!
18 King of Assyria, your shepherds are asleep; your rulers are lying down resting. Your people are scattered on the mountains, and there is no one to gather them.
Воздремашася пастуси твои, царь Ассирийск успи сильныя твоя, воздвигошася людие твои на горы, и не бяше приемлющаго.
19 No healing is possible for your wounds. Your wounds are severe. Everyone who hears the news about you will clap their hands in joy over you. Who has escaped your constant wickedness?
Несть цельбы сокрушению твоему, разгореся язва твоя: вси слышащии весть твою восплещут руками о тебе: понеже на кого не найде злоба твоя всегда?
