Книга пророка Осии 7
1 Егда изцелю Израиля, и открыется неправда Ефремова и злоба Самарийска, яко соделаша лжу: и тать к нему внидет, совлачаяй разбойник на пути его:
When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
2 яко да воспоют вкупе, аки поющии сердцем своим. Вся злобы их помянух: ныне обыдоша их совети их, противу лицу Ми быша.
They don’t consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face.
3 Злобами своими возвеселиша царя и лжами своими князей.
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4 Вси любодеющии, яко пещь жегома на печение сожжения от пламене, от примешения тука, дондеже вскиснет то все.
They are all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5 Во дни царей ваших начаша князи яритися от вина, простроша руки своя с губительми:
On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.
6 зане разгорешася яко пещь сердца их, внегда устремлятися им: всю нощь сна Ефрем насытися, заутра бысть, и разгореся яко пламень огненный.
For they have prepared their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their anger smolders all night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
7 Вси согреяшася, яко пещь жегома, и огнь пояде судий их: вси царие их падоша, не бе в них моляйся ко Мне.
They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one among them who calls to me.
8 Ефрем в людех своих сам смесяшеся, Ефрем бысть опреснок необращаемь.
Ephraim mixes himself among the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
9 И снедоша чуждии крепость его, сей же не разуме: и седины явишася на нем, он же не позна.
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesn’t realize it. Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn’t realize it.
10 И смирится укоризна Израилева в лице ему: и не возвратишася ко Господу Богу своему и не взыскаша Его во всех сих.
The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they haven’t returned to the LORD their God, nor sought him, for all this.
11 И бяше Ефрем яко голубь безумный, не имый сердца: Египта моляше, и во Ассирианы отидоша.
“Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.
12 Якоже идут, возложу на ня мрежу Мою, якоже птицы небесныя свергу я, накажу я в слух скорбения их.
When they go, I will spread my net on them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
13 Горе им, яко отскочиша от Мене: боязливи суть, яко нечествоваша ко Мне: Аз же избавих я, сии же возглаголаша на Мя лжу.
Woe to them! For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them! For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14 И не возопиша ко Мне сердца их, но плакахуся на ложах своих: о пшенице и вине сечахуся.
They haven’t cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.
15 Накажутся Мною, Аз же укрепих мышцу их, и на Мя помыслиша злая.
Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.
16 Совратишася ни во чтоже, быша яко лук напряжен: падутся князи их мечем ради ненаказания языка своего. Сие ругание их в земли Египетстей.
They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
