Книга пророка Амоса 2

1 Сия глаголет Господь: за три нечестия Моавля и за четыри не отвращуся его, понеже сожгоша кости царя Идумейска в пепел:

Thus says the Lord; For three sins of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they burnt the bones of the king of Idumea to lime.

2 и послю огнь на Моава, и пояст основания градов его, и умрет со безсилием Моав, с воплем и гласом трубным:

But I will send forth a fire on Moab, and it shall devour the foundations of its cities: and Moab shall perish in weakness, with a shout, and with the sound of a trumpet.

3 и потреблю судию из него и вся князи его избию с ним, глаголет Господь.

And I will destroy the judge out of her, and kill all her princes with him, says the Lord.

4 Сия глаголет Господь: за три нечестия сынов Иудиных и за четыри не отвращуся их, понеже отринуша закон Господень и повелений Его не сохраниша, и прельстиша их суетная их, яже сотвориша, имже последоваша отцы их вслед их:

Thus says the Lord; For three sins of the children of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they have rejected the law of the Lord, and have not kept his ordinances, and their vain [idols] which they made, which their fathers followed, caused them to err.

5 и послю огнь на Иуду, и пояст основания Иерусалимля.

And I will send a fire on Juda, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem.

6 Сия глаголет Господь: за три нечестия Израиля и за четыри не отвращуся его, понеже продаша праведнаго на сребре и убогаго на сапозех,

Thus says the Lord; for three sins of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for sandals,

7 ходящих на прасе земнем, и бияху пястию во главы убогих, и путь смиренных совращаху: и сын и отец его влазяста ко единей рабыни, яко да осквернавят имя Бога своего:

wherewith to tread on the dust of the earth, and they have struck upon the heads of the poor, and have perverted the way of the lowly: and a son and his father have gone into the same maid, that they might profane the name of their God.

8 и ризы своя связующе ужами, и завесы творяху держащыяся требища, и вино от оболганий пияху в дому бога своего.

And binding their clothes with cords they have made them curtains near the altar, and they have drunk wine gained by extortion in the house of their God.

9 Аз же отвергох Аморреа от лица их, егоже бе высота якоже высота кедрова, и крепок бяше якоже дуб, и изсуших плод его с верха и корение его из низу.

Nevertheless I cut off the Amorite from before them, whose height was as the height of a cedar, and he was strong as an oak; and I dried up his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

10 Аз же изведох вы из земли Египетския и обводих вы в пустыни четыредесять лет, еже прияти в наследие землю Аморрейску.

And I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you about in the desert forty years, that you should inherit the land of the Amorites.

11 И поях от сынов ваших во пророки и от юнот ваших во освящение: еда несть сих, сынове Израилевы? Глаголет Господь.

And I took of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for consecration. Are not these things so, you sons of Israel? says the Lord.

12 И напаясте освященныя вином и пророком заповедасте глаголюще: не прорицайте.

But you gave the consecrated ones wine to drink; and you commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

13 Сего ради, се, Аз повращу под вами, якоже вратится колесница полна тростия:

Therefore, behold, I roll under you, as a waggon full of straw is rolled.

14 и погибнет бегство от скоротекущаго, и крепкий не удержит крепости своея, и храбрый не спасет души своея,

And flight shall perish from the runner, and the strong shall not hold fast his strength, and the warrior shall not save his life:

15 и стреляяй из лука не постоит, и быстрый ногама своима не уцелеет, и конник не спасет души своея,

and the archer shall not withstand, and he that is swift of foot shall in no wise escape; and the horseman shall not save his life.

16 и крепкий не обрящет сердца своего в силах, наг побегнет в той день, глаголет Господь.

And the strong shall find no confidence in power: the naked shall flee away in that day, says the Lord.
