Книга пророка Осии 11
1 Заутра отвергошася, отвержеся царь Израилев, понеже младенец Израиль, и Аз возлюбих его и из Египта воззвах сына Моего.
Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children.
2 Якоже призвах я, такожде отхождаху от лица Моего: тии Ваалиму требу жряху и изваяным кадяху.
As I called them, so they departed from my presence: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burnt incense to graven images.
3 Аз же связах Ефрема, взях его на мышцу Мою, и не разумеша, яко изцелих я.
Yet I bound the feet of Ephraim, I took him on my arm; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 Во истлении человечесте привлекох я узами любления моего, и буду им яко ударяяй человек по челюстем его: и воззрю к нему и премогу ему.
When men were destroyed, I drew them with the bands of my love: and I will be to them as a man striking [another] on his cheek: and I will have respect to him, I will prevail with him.
5 Вселися Ефрем во Египте, Ассур же сам царь его, яко не восхоте возвратитися.
Ephraim lived in Egypt; and [as for] the Assyrian, he was his king, because he would not return.
6 И изнеможе оружие во градех его, и умолче в руку его: и снедят от умышлений своих.
And in his cities he prevailed not with the sword, and he ceased [to war] with his hands: and they shall eat [of the fruit] of their own devices:
7 И людие его висяще от обитания своего: и Бог на честная его разгневается, и не вознесет его.
and his people [shall] cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all exalt him.
8 Что тя устрою, Ефреме? Защищу ли тя, Израилю? Что тя положу? Якоже Адаму устрою тя, и якоже Севоим, превратися сердце Мое в Нем, смятеся раскаяние Мое.
How shall I deal with you, Ephraim? [how] shall I protect you, Israel? what shall I do with you? I will make you as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
9 Не сотворю по гневу ярости Моея, не оставлю еже потребитися Ефремови, зане Бог Аз есмь, а не человек: в тебе Свят, и не вниду во град.
I will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within you: and I will not enter into the city.
10 Вслед Господа имам ходити: яко лев возревет, понеже Той возревет, и ужаснутся чада вод,
I will go after the Lord: he shall utter [his voice] as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
11 и приидут яко птица из Египта и яко голубь от земли Ассирски: и возставлю я в домех их, глаголет Господь.
They shall be amazed [and fly] as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, says the Lord.
12 Обыде Мя лжею Ефрем, и нечестиями дом Израилев и Иуда: ныне позна я Бог, и людие святи прозвашася Богови.
Ephraim has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: [but] now God knows them, and they shall be called God's holy people.
