Книга пророка Осии 13
1 По словеси Ефремову оправдания прия сей во Израили, и положи я Ваалови, и умре.
When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
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 they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
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.
Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early dew that passes away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
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.
Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.
5 Аз пасох тя в пустыни на земли ненаселенней,
I did know you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 на пажитех их, и насытишася до исполнения, и вознесошася сердца их, сего ради забыша Мя.
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7 И буду им яко панфирь, и яко рысь на пути Ассириев:
Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
8 и срящу их аки медведица лишаема, и разрушу соключение сердец их: и поядят я скимни дубравнии, и зверие польстии расторгнут я.
I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the lobe of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
9 В погибели твоей, Израилю, кто поможет тебе?
O Israel, you have destroyed yourself; but in me is your help.
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.
I will be your king: where is any other that may save you in all your cities? and your judges of whom you said, Give me a king and princes?
11 И дах тебе царя во гневе Моем, и утвержахся в ярости Моей.
I gave you a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.
12 Согромаждение неправды Ефрем, сокровен грех его:
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
13 болезни аки раждающия приидут ему: сей сын немудрый, зане ныне не устоит в сокрушении чад.
The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking out of children.
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 ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be your plagues; O grave, I will be your destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. (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 be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
16 Погибнет Самариа, яко сопротивися и Богу своему: оружием падут сами, и младенцы их разбиются, и во утробе имущыя их разсядутся.
Samaria shall become desolate; for she has rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
