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 transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into 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 a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;

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

and I will cut off the judge from their midst, and will kill all its officials 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 transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have rejected the LORD's law, and have not kept his statutes. Their false idols which they made, after which their fathers walked, have led them astray.

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

But I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces 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 transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;

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:

They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and deny justice to the oppressed; and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;

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

and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.

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.

Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed 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.

Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

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

I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?" says the LORD.

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

"But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Do not prophesy.'

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

Look, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.

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

Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

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

neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;

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

and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day," says the LORD.
