Книга пророка Иезекииля 9
1 И возопи во ушы мои гласом великим, глаголя: приближися отмщение града: и кийждо имеяше сосуды истребления в руце своей.
And he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying: The visitations of the city are at hand, and every one hath a destroying weapon in his hand.
2 И се, шесть мужей идоша от пути врат высоких зрящих на север, и коемуждо секира (погубления) в руце его: и муж един посреде их облечен в подир, и пояс от сапфира о чреслех его: и внидоша и сташа близ жертвенника медянаго.
And behold six men came from the way of the upper gate, which looketh to the north: and each one had his weapon of destruction in his hand: and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn at his reins: and they went in, and stood by the brazen altar.
3 И слава Бога Израилева взыде от Херувимов сущая на них в непокровенное дому: и призва мужа оболчена в подир, иже имеяше на чреслех своих пояс.
And the glory of the Lord of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which he was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man that was clothed with linen, and had a writer’s inkhorn at his loins.
4 И рече Господь к нему: пройди среде града Иерусалима и даждь знамения на лица мужей стенящих и болезнующих о всех беззакониих бывающих среде их.
And the Lord said to him: Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem: and mark Thau upon the foreheads of the men that sigh, and mourn for all the abominations that are committed in the midst thereof.
5 И сим рече, слышащу мне: идите во град вслед его, изсецыте и не пощадите очима вашима и не помилуйте:
And to the others he said in my hearing: Go ye after him through the city, and strike: let not your eyes spare, nor be ye moved with pity.
6 старца и юношу и деву, и младенцы и жены избийте в потребление: а ко всем, на нихже есть знамение, не прикасайтеся: от освященных Моих начните. И начаша от мужей старых, иже беша внутрь в дому.
Utterly destroy old and young, maidens, children and women: but upon whomsoever you shall see Thau, kill him not, and begin ye at my sanctuary. So they began at the ancient men who mere before the house.
7 И рече к ним: оскверните дом, и наполните пути мертвецев исходяще, и изсецыте (сущих во граде).
And he said to them: Defile the house, and ill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew them that were in the city.
8 И бысть внегда сечаху их, остах аз и падох ниц, и возопих и рех: горе, (горе, ) о, люте мне, Адонаю Господи! Еда потребляеши Ты останки Израилевы, егда разливаеши ярость Твою на Иерусалим?
And the slaughter being ended I was left: and I fell upon my face, and crying, I said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, wilt thou then destroy all the remnant of Israel, by pouring out thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9 И рече ко мне: неправда дому Израилева и Иудина возвеличися зело зело, яко наполнися земля людий многих, и град наполнися неправд и нечистот, яко реша: оставил есть Господь землю и не видит Господь.
And he said to me: The iniquity of the house of Israel, and of Juda, is exceeding great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is filled with perverseness: for they have said: The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not.
10 И Аз есмь, и не пощадит око Мое, ни помилую, пути их на главы их дах.
Therefore neither shall my eye spare, nor will I have pity: I will requite their way upon their head.
11 И се, муж, оболченый в подир и препоясан поясом о чреслех своих, отвещаваше, глаголя: сотворих, якоже заповедал ми еси.
And behold the man that was clothed with linen, that had the inkhorn at his back, returned the word, saying: I have done as thou hast commanded me.
