Исаия 13
1 Пророчество о Вавилоне, которое изрек Исаия, сын Амосов.
[I], Isaiah, the son of Amoz, received [from Yahweh] this message about Babylon [city]:
2 Поднимите знамя на открытой горе, возвысьте голос; махните им рукою, чтобы шли в ворота властелинов.
Lift up a flag on the bare [top of a] hill, to signal [that an army should come to attack Babylon]. Shout to them and wave your hand [to signal to them] that they should march through the city gates into the palaces of the proud [rulers of Babylon]!
3 Я дал повеление избранным Моим и призвал для совершения гнева Моего сильных Моих, торжествующих в величии Моем.
[Yahweh says], “I have commanded those soldiers to do that; I have summoned the warriors whom I have chosen to punish [the people of Babylon] because of my being very angry with them, and those soldiers will be very proud [when they do that].”
4 Большой шум на горах, как бы от многолюдного народа, мятежный шум царств и народов, собравшихся вместе: Господь Саваоф обозревает боевое войско.
Listen to the noise on the mountains, which is the noise of a huge army marching! It is the noise made by people of many people-groups shouting. The Commander of the armies of angels has summoned this army to gather together.
5 Идут из отдаленной страны, от края неба, Господь и орудия гнева Его, чтобы сокрушить всю землю.
They come from countries that are far away, from the most remote places [IDM] on the earth. They are [like] [SIM] weapons that Yahweh will use [to punish the people with whom] he is very angry, and to destroy the entire country [of Babylonia].
6 Рыдайте, ибо день Господа близок, идет как разрушительная сила от Всемогущего.
[You people of Babylon] will scream because you will be terrified, because it will be the time that Yahweh [has determined/chosen], the time for the all-powerful [God] to destroy [your city].
7 Оттого руки у всех опустились, и сердце у каждого человека растаяло.
All of your people will be very afraid [DOU], with the result that they will be unable even to lift their arms.
8 Ужаснулись, судороги и боли схватили их; мучатся, как рождающая, с изумлением смотрят друг на друга, лица у них разгорелись.
All of you will be terrified. You will have [PRS] severe pains like [SIM] a woman has when she is giving birth to a baby. You will look at each other helplessly, and it will show on your faces that you feel horror.
9 Вот, приходит день Господа лютый, с гневом и пылающею яростью, чтобы сделать землю пустынею и истребить с нее грешников ее.
Listen to this: The day that Yahweh has appointed/chosen is near, the day that he will furiously and fiercely [punish you] because he is very angry [with you]. He will cause your land [of Babylonia] to be desolate/barren, and he will destroy [all] the sinners in it.
10 Звезды небесные и светила не дают от себя света; солнце меркнет при восходе своем, и луна не сияет светом своим.
[When that happens], none of the stars will shine. When the sun rises, it will be dark, and there will be no light from the moon [at night].
11 Я накажу мир за зло, и нечестивых - за беззакония их, и положу конец высокоумию гордых, и уничижу надменность притеснителей;
[Yahweh says], “I will punish [everyone in] the world for the evil things that they do; I will punish the wicked people for the sins that they have committed. I will stop arrogant/proud people from being proud, and I will stop ruthless people from acting cruelly.
12 сделаю то, что люди будут дороже чистого золота, и мужи - дороже золота Офирского.
[And because I will cause most people to die], people will be harder to find than gold, harder to find than fine gold from Ophir [in Arabia].
13 Для сего потрясу небо, и земля сдвинется с места своего от ярости Господа Саваофа, в день пылающего гнева Его.
I will shake the sky, and the earth will [also] move out of its place. That will happen when [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, punish [wicked people], when [I show them that] I am extremely angry [with them].
14 Тогда каждый, как преследуемая серна и как покинутые овцы, обратится к народу своему, и каждый побежит в свою землю.
And all [the foreigners in Babylon will run around] like [SIM] deer that are being hunted, like sheep that do not have a shepherd. They will try to find other people from their countries, and [then] they will escape [from Babylon] and return to their own countries.
15 Но кто попадется, будет пронзен, и кого схватят, тот падет от меча.
Anyone who is captured [in Babylon] will be killed by [their enemies’] swords [DOU].
16 И младенцы их будут разбиты пред глазами их; домы их будут разграблены и жены их обесчещены.
Their little children will be dashed to pieces on the rocks while [their parents] watch; [their enemies] will steal everything valuable from their houses and will rape their wives.
17 Вот, Я подниму против них Мидян, которые не ценят серебра и не пристрастны к золоту.
Look! I am going to incite the people of Media to attack Babylon. The [army of Media] will attack Babylon, even if they are offered [DOU] silver or gold [if they promise to not attack it].
18 Луки их сразят юношей и не пощадят плода чрева: глаз их не сжалится над детьми.
[With] their arrows, the [soldiers of Media] will shoot the young men [of Babylon]; they will not [even] act mercifully [DOU] toward infants or children!”
19 И Вавилон, краса царств, гордость Халдеев, будет ниспровержен Богом, как Содом и Гоморра,
Babylon has been a very beautiful [MTY] city; [all] the people of Babylonia have been very proud of Babylon, [their capital city]; [but] God will destroy Babylon, like [SIM] he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 не заселится никогда, и в роды родов не будет жителей в нем; не раскинет Аравитянин шатра своего, и пастухи со стадами не будут отдыхать там.
No one will ever live in Babylon again. It will be deserted forever. (Nomads/People who travel from place to place to live) will refuse to set up their tents there; shepherds will not bring their flocks of sheep to rest there.
21 Но будут обитать в нем звери пустыни, и домы наполнятся филинами; и страусы поселятся, и косматые будут скакать там.
Instead, animals that live in the desert will be there; jackals/wolves will live in [the ruins of] the houses. Owls (OR, Ostriches) will live in [the ruins], and wild goats will romp/jump around [there].
22 Шакалы будут выть в чертогах их, и гиены - в увеселительных домах.
Hyenas will howl in the [ruined] towers, and jackals/wolves will make their dens in [the ruins of] the palaces that [were previously] very beautiful. The time when [Babylon will be destroyed] is very near; Babylon will not exist much longer.
