Книга пророка Аввакума 1
1 Видение, еже виде Аввакум пророк.
The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
2 Доколе, Господи, воззову, и не услышиши? Возопию к Тебе обидимь, и не избавиши?
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out to thee of 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 dost thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for plundering and violence are before me: and there are that raise strife and contention.
4 Сего ради разорися закон, и не производится в совершение суд: яко нечестивый преобидит праведнаго, сего ради изыдет суд развращен.
Therefore the law is feeble, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth surround the righteous; therefore judgment goeth forth perverted
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 heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
6 Зане, се, Аз возставляю Халдеи, язык горький и борзый, ходящий по широтам земли, еже наследити селения не своя:
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
7 страшен и явлен есть, от него суд его будет, и взятие его от него изыдет:
They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed from themselves.
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 also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
9 Скончание на нечестивыя приидет, сопротивляющыяся лицам их противу, и соберет яко песок пленники.
They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the 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 they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn to them: they shall laugh at every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
11 Тогда пременит дух и прейдет и помолится: сия крепость богу моему.
Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power to 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.
Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
13 Чисто око еже не видети зла и взирати на труды болезненныя: вскую призираеши на презорливыя? Премолчаваеши, егда пожирает нечестивый праведнаго?
Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: why lookest thou on them that deal treacherously, and keepest silence when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
14 И сотвориши человеки яко рыбы морския и яко гады не имущыя старейшины.
And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15 Скончание удою восхити и привлече его мрежею и собра его сетьми своими: сего ради возвеселится и возрадуется сердце его:
They take up all of them with the hook, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16 сего ради пожрет мрежи своей и покадит сеть свою, яко теми разблажи часть свою и пищи своя избранныя:
Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their food plenteous.
17 сего ради прострет мрежу свою и присно избивати языков не пощадит.
Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
