Книга пророка Осии 4
1 Слышите слово Господне, сынове Израилевы, яко суд Господеви к живущым на земли: зане несть истины, ни милости, ни ведения Божия на земли:
Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel; for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land; because there is no truth, nor kindness, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 клятва и лжа, и убийство и татьба и любодеяние разлияся по земли, и кровь с кровьми мешают.
There is false swearing, and lying, and murdering, and stealing, and committing adultery: they break the bounds, and blood toucheth on blood.
3 Сего ради восплачется земля и умалится со всеми вселившимися на ней, со зверьми польскими и с гады земными и со птицами небесными, и рыбы морския оскудеют:
Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the heaven; yea, also the fishes of the sea shall perish.
4 яко да никтоже не прится, ни обличается никтоже: людие же мои аки пререкаемый жрец,
Yet let no man strive, let no man reprove another: and thy people are contentious equally with the priest.
5 и изнеможет во днех, и изнеможет пророк с тобою: нощи уподобих матерь твою.
Therefore shalt thou stumble in the daytime, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother.
6 Уподобишася людие Мои аки не имуще умения: яко ты умение отвергл еси, отвергу и Аз тебе, еже не жречествовати Мне, и забыл еси закон Бога своего, забуду и Аз чада твоя.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge, so will I also reject thee, that thou shalt not be a priest to me; and as thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, so will I myself also forget thy children.
7 По множеству их тако согрешиша Мне: славу их в безчестие положу.
The more they increased, the more did they sin against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
8 Грехи людий Моих снедят и в неправдах их возмут душы их.
The sin-offering of my people do they eat, and for their iniquity doth the soul of each one of them long.
9 И будет якоже людие, тако и жрец: и отмщу на них пути их, и умышления их воздам им.
Therefore shall the same befall both people and priest: and I will punish every one of them for his ways, and recompense every one for his doings.
10 И будут ясти и не насытятся: соблудиша и не исправятся: понеже Господа оставиша еже снабдети.
And they will eat, and shall not be satisfied; they will commit lewdness, and they shall not increase; because the Lord have they forsaken [not] keeping [his law].
11 Блуд и вино и пиянство прият сердце людий Моих.
Lewdness and wine and new wine take away the heart.
12 В знамениих вопрошаху и в жезлех своих поведаху тем: духом блужения прельстишася и соблудиша от Бога своего:
My people ask counsel of their stick of wood, and their staff shall tell them [the future]: for the spirit of lewdness hath caused them to err, and they are gone astray unfaithful to their God.
13 на версех гор кадяху и на холмех жряху под дубом и под елию и под древом ветвенным, яко добр кров: сего ради соблудят дщери вашя, и невесты вашя возлюбодеют.
Upon the tops of the mountains do they sacrifice, and upon the hills burn they incense, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because their shadow is good: therefore will your daughters play the harlot, and your daughter-in-law will commit adultery.
14 И не присещу на дщери вашя, егда соблудят, и на невесты вашя, егда возлюбодеют: яко и тии со блудницами смесишася и со блудниками требы жряху, и людие смыслящии со блудницею сплетахуся.
I cannot inflict punishment on your daughters when they play the harlot, nor on your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery; for they themselves associate with lewd women, and with harlots do they sacrifice: and so doth the people that doth not understand stumble.
15 Ты же, Израилю, не не разумевай, и Иудо: не входите в Галгалу и не восходите в Дом Онов, и не кленитеся Господем живым.
Yet though thou play the harlot, O Israel, let not Judah offend: and come not ye unto Gilgal, nor go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As the Lord liveth.
16 Зане якоже юница стрекалом стречема разсвирепе Израиль: ныне упасет я Господь, яко агнца на пространстве.
For like an untamable cow is Israel disobedient: now would the Lord have fed them as a sheep in a wide pasture.
17 Причастник кумиром Ефрем положи себе соблазны,
Ephraim is bound to idols: let him alone.
18 избра Хананеов: блудяще возблудиша, возлюбиша безчестие от хрепетания своего.
Their drinking bout will come to an end: while they are so often guilty of lewdness, their rulers love, prepare themselves but shame.
19 Вихр духа возсвищет в крилех своих, и посрамятся от требищ своих.
The wind seizeth fast on them with its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
