Книга пророка Аввакума 2
1 На стражи моей стану, и взыду на камень, и посмотрю еже видети, что возглаголет во мне и что отвещаю на обличение мое.
I will climb my watchtower; I will take my place on the city wall. I will keep watch and see what he will say to me, how he will answer my grievances.
2 И отвеща Господь ко мне и рече: впиши видение, и яве на дске, яко да постигнет читаяй я.
Then the Lord told me, Write down the vision, inscribe it on tablets, so it can be easily read.
3 Зане еще видение на время, и просияет в конец, а не вотще: аще умедлит, потерпи ему, яко идый приидет и не умедлит.
For the vision is for a future time, it is about the end and it does not lie. If it seems slow in being fulfilled, wait for it, for it will definitely come—it will not be delayed!
4 Аще усумнится, не благоволит душа моя в нем: праведник же (мой) от веры жив будет.
Look at those who are proud! They do not live right. But those who live right do so through their trust in God.
5 Презорливый же и обидливый муж и величавый ничесоже скончает: иже разшири аки ад душу свою, и сей яко смерть ненасыщен: и соберет к себе вся языки и приимет к себе вся люди. (Sheol h7585)
In addition wealth provides no security. Those who are arrogant never have any peace; their greedy mouths are as wide open as the grave, and like death they are never satisfied. They gather nations like possessions, swallowing up many peoples. (Sheol h7585)
6 Не сия ли вся на него притчу приимут и гадание в повесть его? И рекут: горе умножающему себе не сущая его, доколе? И отягчающему узу свою тяжце.
Won't all these peoples taunt them? They will ridicule them, saying, “What disaster is coming to you who pile up things that don't belong to you! You make yourselves rich by forcing debtors to pay! How long can you go on doing this?”
7 Яко внезапу востанут угрызающии его, и ободрятся наветницы твои, и будеши в разграбление им.
Won't your debtors suddenly act? Won't they wake up to the situation and make you tremble? You will be plunder for them!
8 Понеже ты пленил еси страны многи, пленят тя вси оставшии людие крове ради человечи и нечестия земли и града и всех живущих на ней.
Because you have plundered many nations, those who are left will plunder you—for the human blood you have shed and the destruction you brought on lands and cities, and those who lived there.
9 Горе лихоимствующым лихоимство злое дому своему, еже учинити на высоте гнездо свое, еже исторгнути от руки злых.
What disaster is coming to you who build houses through dishonest gain! You think you can place your “nest” so high it will be safe from disaster.
10 Умыслил еси стыдение дому своему, скончал еси люди многи, и согреши душа твоя.
Your evil schemes have brought shame upon your families, by destroying many nations you have forfeited your own lives.
11 Зане камень из стены возопиет, и хрущь от древа возглаголет сия:
Even the stones in the wall cry out in condemnation, and the wooden rafters join in too.
12 у, люте созидающему град кровьми и уготовляющему град неправдами.
What disaster is coming to you who build cities with bloodshed, who found cities built on wickedness!
13 Не сия ли суть от Господа Вседержителя? И оскудеша людие мнози огнем, и языцы мнози изнемогоша:
Hasn't the Lord Almighty decided that all such nations work for will be destroyed by fire, that they wear themselves out for nothing?
14 яко наполнится вся земля ведения славы Господни, якоже вода многа в мори покрыет я.
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord's glory as the waters fill the sea.
15 Горе напаяющему подруга своего развращением мутным, и упоявающему, яко да взирает к пещерам их.
What disaster is coming to you who make your neighbors drunk! You force your cup of anger on them and make them drink so you may see them naked.
16 Сытость безчестия от славы испий и ты: сердце, поколеблися и сотряснися: обыде о тебе чаша десницы Господни, и собрася безчестие на главу твою.
In turn you will be filled with shame instead of glory. Drink yourself and expose your nakedness! The cup the Lord holds in his right hand will be passed round to you and your glory will turn to shame.
17 Занеже нечестие Ливаново покрыет тя, и страсть зверей престрашит тя, крове ради человечи и нечестия земли и града и всех живущих на ней.
As you destroyed the forests of Lebanon you will also be destroyed; you hunted the animals there, and now they will hunt you. For you shed human blood and you destroyed lands and cities, along with those who lived there.
18 Что пользует изваяное, яко изваяша е? Создаша слияние, мечтание ложное, яко упова создавый на создание свое, сотворити кумиры немыя.
What use is a wooden idol carved by human hands, or a metal image that teaches lies? What is the point of their makers trusting in their own handiwork, creating idols that can't speak?
19 У, люте глаголющему ко древу: ободрися, востани: и камению: возвысися: и то есть мечтание, и сие есть скование злата и сребра, и всякаго духа несть в нем.
What disaster is coming to you who say to something made of wood, “Wake up!” or to lifeless stone, “Get up!” Can it teach you anything? Look at it! It's covered with gold and silver, but there is no life inside it.
20 Господь же во храме святем Своем: да убоится от лица Его вся земля.
But the Lord is in his holy Temple; let all the earth be silent in his presence.
