Книга пророка Осии 13
1 По словеси Ефремову оправдания прия сей во Израили, и положи я Ваалови, и умре.
When the words of my law came from Ephraim, he was lifted up in Israel; but when he did evil through the Baal, death overtook him.
2 И ныне приложиша согрешати и сотвориша себе слияние от злата и сребра своего по образу идолов, дела художников совершена: им сии глаголют: пожрите человеков, оскудеша бо телцы.
And now their sins are increased; they have made themselves a metal image, false gods from their silver, after their designs, all of them the work of the metal-workers; they say of them, Let them give offerings, let men give kisses to the oxen.
3 Сего ради будут яко облак утренний, якоже роса утренняя идущи, якоже плевы с тока (и прах с ветвия) развеваемый вихром, якоже дым из трубы.
So they will be like the morning cloud, like the dew which goes early away, like the dust of the grain which the wind is driving out of the crushing-floor, like smoke going up from the fireplace.
4 Аз же Господь Бог твой утверждаяй небо и созидаяй землю, Егоже руце создасте все воинство небесное, и не показах ти их, еже ходити вслед их: и Аз изведох тя из земли Египетския, и бога разве Мене да не познаеши, и спасающаго несть разве Мене.
But I am the Lord your God, from the land of Egypt; you have knowledge of no other God and there is no saviour but me.
5 Аз пасох тя в пустыни на земли ненаселенней,
I had knowledge of you in the waste land where no water was.
6 на пажитех их, и насытишася до исполнения, и вознесошася сердца их, сего ради забыша Мя.
When I gave them food they were full, and their hearts were full of pride, and they did not keep me in mind.
7 И буду им яко панфирь, и яко рысь на пути Ассириев:
So I will be like a lion to them; as a cruel beast I will keep watch by the road;
8 и срящу их аки медведица лишаема, и разрушу соключение сердец их: и поядят я скимни дубравнии, и зверие польстии расторгнут я.
I will come face to face with them like a bear whose young ones have been taken from her, and their inmost hearts will be broken; there the dogs will make a meal of them; they will be wounded by the beasts of the field.
9 В погибели твоей, Израилю, кто поможет тебе?
I have sent destruction on you, O Israel; who will be your helper?
10 Где царь твой сей? Той да спасет тя во всех градех твоих: и да судит ти, о немже глаголал еси: даждь ми царя и князя.
Where is your king, that he may be your saviour? and all your rulers, that they may take up your cause? of whom you said, Give me a king and rulers.
11 И дах тебе царя во гневе Моем, и утвержахся в ярости Моей.
I have given you a king, because I was angry, and have taken him away in my wrath.
12 Согромаждение неправды Ефрем, сокровен грех его:
The wrongdoing of Ephraim is shut up; his sin is put away in secret.
13 болезни аки раждающия приидут ему: сей сын немудрый, зане ныне не устоит в сокрушении чад.
The pains of a woman in childbirth will come on him: he is an unwise son, for at this time it is not right for him to keep his place when children come to birth.
14 От руки адовы избавлю я и от смерти искуплю я: где пря твоя, смерте? Где остен твой, аде? Утешение скрыся от очию Моею: (Sheol h7585)
I will give the price to make them free from the power of the underworld, I will be their saviour from death: O death! where are your pains? O underworld! where is your destruction? my eyes will have no pity. (Sheol h7585)
15 зане сей между братиями разлучит: наведет Господь ветр зноен из пустыни нань, и изсушит жилы его и опустошит источники его: сей изсушит землю его и вся сосуды его любимыя.
Though he gives fruit among his brothers, an east wind will come, the wind of the Lord coming up from the waste land, and his spring will become dry, his fountain will be without water: it will make waste the store of all the vessels of his desire.
16 Погибнет Самариа, яко сопротивися и Богу своему: оружием падут сами, и младенцы их разбиются, и во утробе имущыя их разсядутся.
Samaria will be made waste, for she has gone against her God: they will be cut down by the sword, their little children will be broken on the rocks, their women who are with child will be cut open.
