Книга пророка Аввакума 1
1 Видение, еже виде Аввакум пророк.
The burden that Habacuc the prophet saw.
2 Доколе, Господи, воззову, и не услышиши? Возопию к Тебе обидимь, и не избавиши?
How long, O Lord, shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? shall I cry out to thee suffering violence, and thou wilt not save?
3 Вскую мне показал еси труды и болезни, смотрити страсть и нечестие? Противу мне бысть суд, и судия вземлет.
Why hast thou shewn me iniquity and grievance, to see rapine and injustice before me? and there is a judgment, but opposition is more powerful.
4 Сего ради разорися закон, и не производится в совершение суд: яко нечестивый преобидит праведнаго, сего ради изыдет суд развращен.
Therefore the law is torn in pieces, and judgment cometh not to the end: because the wicked prevaileth against the just, therefore wrong judgment goeth forth.
5 Видите, презорливии, и смотрите, и чудитеся чудесем и изчезните: понеже дело Аз делаю во днех ваших, емуже не имате веровати, аще кто исповесть вам.
Behold ye among the nations, and see: wonder, and be astonished: for a work is done in your days, which no man will believe when it shall be told.
6 Зане, се, Аз возставляю Халдеи, язык горький и борзый, ходящий по широтам земли, еже наследити селения не своя:
For behold, I will raise up the Chaldeans, a bitter and swift nation, marching upon the breadth of the earth, to possess the dwelling places that are not their own.
7 страшен и явлен есть, от него суд его будет, и взятие его от него изыдет:
They are dreadful, and terrible: from themselves shall their judgment, and their burden proceed.
8 и изскочат паче рысей кони его и быстрее волков аравийских, и поедут конницы его и устремятся издалеча и полетят аки орел готов на ядь.
Their horses are lighter than leopards, and swifter than evening wolves; and their horsemen shall be spread abroad: for their horsemen shall come from afar, they shall fly as an eagle that maketh haste to eat.
9 Скончание на нечестивыя приидет, сопротивляющыяся лицам их противу, и соберет яко песок пленники.
They shall all come to the prey, their face is like a burning wind: and they shall gather together captives as the sand.
10 И той над царьми посмеется, и мучителие играние его, и той над всякою тверделию поругается, и обложит вал, и возобладает ею.
And their prince shall triumph over kings, and princes shall be his laughingstock: and he shall laugh at every strong hold, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take it.
11 Тогда пременит дух и прейдет и помолится: сия крепость богу моему.
Then shall his spirit be changed, and he shall pass, and fall: this is his strength of his god.
12 Неси ли Ты искони, Господи Боже, Святый мой? И не умрем. Господи, на суд учинил еси его, и созда мя обличати наказание его.
Wast thou not from the beginning, O Lord my God, my holy one, and we shall not die? Lord, thou hast appointed him for judgment: and made him strong for correction.
13 Чисто око еже не видети зла и взирати на труды болезненныя: вскую призираеши на презорливыя? Премолчаваеши, егда пожирает нечестивый праведнаго?
Thy eyes are too pure to behold evil, and thou canst not look on iniquity. Why lookest thou upon them that do unjust things, and holdest thy peace when the wicked devoureth the man that is more just than himself?
14 И сотвориши человеки яко рыбы морския и яко гады не имущыя старейшины.
And thou wilt make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things that have no ruler.
15 Скончание удою восхити и привлече его мрежею и собра его сетьми своими: сего ради возвеселится и возрадуется сердце его:
He lifted up all them with his hook, he drew them in his drag, and gathered them into his net: for this he will be glad and rejoice.
16 сего ради пожрет мрежи своей и покадит сеть свою, яко теми разблажи часть свою и пищи своя избранныя:
Therefore will he offer victims to his drag, and he will sacrifice to his net: because through them his portion is made fat, and his meat dainty.
17 сего ради прострет мрежу свою и присно избивати языков не пощадит.
For this cause therefore he spreadeth his net, and will not spare continually to slay the nations.
