Книга пророка Осии 5
1 Слышите сия, жерцы, и вонмите, доме Израилев, и доме царев, внушите, понеже к вам есть суд: яко пругло бысте стражбе, и якоже мрежа распростерта на Итавирии,
'Hear this, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment [is] for you, For, a snare ye have been on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.
2 юже ловящии лов поткнуша, Аз же наказатель вам:
And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a fetter to them all.
3 Аз познах Ефрема, и Израиль не отступи от Мене, зане ныне соблуди Ефрем, и осквернися Израиль:
I have known Ephraim, And Israel hath not been hid from me, For now thou hast gone a-whoring, Ephraim, Defiled is Israel.
4 не положиша помышлений своих, еже возвратитися к Богу своему, яко дух блужения есть в них, и Господа не уведеша.
They give not up their habitual doings, To turn back unto their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And Jehovah they have not known.
5 И смирится укоризна Израилева в лице ему, и Израиль и Ефрем изнемогут в неправдах своих, изнеможет же и Иуда с ними.
And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Stumbled also hath Judah with them.
6 Со овцами и телцы пойдут взыскати Господа и не обрящут Его, уклонися бо от них.
With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek Jehovah, and do not find, He hath withdrawn from them.
7 Яко Господа оставиша, яко чада чужда породиша себе: ныне пояст я ржа, и причастия их.
Against Jehovah they dealt treacherously, For strange sons they have begotten, Now consume them doth a month [with] their portions.
8 Вострубите трубою на холмех, возгласите на высоких, проповедите в Дому Онове, ужасеся Вениамин,
Blow ye a cornet in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
9 Ефрем в пагубу бысть во дни наказания: в племенех Израилевых показах верная.
Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, Among the tribes of Israel I have made known a sure thing.
10 Быша князи Иудины яко прелагающе пределы: на ня излию яко воду гнев Мой.
Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, On them I do pour out as water My wrath.
11 Соодоле Ефрем соперника своего, попра суд, яко нача ходити вслед суетных.
Oppressed is Ephraim, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.
12 Аз же яко мятеж Ефремови и яко остен дому Иудину.
And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.
13 И виде Ефрем немощь свою и Иуда болезнь свою: и иде Ефрем ко Ассирием и посла послы ко царю Иариму: и той не возможе изцелити вас, и не престанет от вас болезнь.
And see doth Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goeth unto Asshur, And sendeth unto a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor doth he remove from you a scar.
14 Зане Аз есмь яко панфирь Ефремови и яко лев дому Иудину: и Аз восхищу, и пойду, и возму, и не будет изимаяй:
For I [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I — I tear and go, I bear away, and there is no deliverer.
15 пойду и возвращуся на место Свое, дондеже погибнут, и взыщут лица Моего.
I go — I turn back unto My place, Till that they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they do seek Me speedily!'
