Книга пророка Осии 9
1 Не радуйся, Израилю, ни веселися якоже людие, понеже соблудил еси от Господа Бога твоего: возлюбил еси даяния на всяцем гумне пшеницы.
Rejoice not, O Israel, for gladness, as other people; for thou art gone astray, unfaithful to thy God: thou hast loved the wages of sin upon every corn-filled threshing-floor.
2 Гумно и точило не позна их, и вино солга им.
The threshing-floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall deceive them.
3 Не вселишася на земли Господни: вселися Ефрем во Египте, и во Ассириах снедят нечистая.
They shall not dwell in the land of the Lord; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria will they eat unclean things.
4 Не возлияша Господеви вина, и не усладишася Ему требы их, яко хлеб жалости им: вси ядущии тыя осквернятся: понеже хлебы их душ их, не внидут в дом Господень.
They shall not pour out wine to the Lord, and [their offerings] shall not be pleasing unto him; their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for this their food can only be for themselves, it shall not come into the house of the Lord.
5 Что сотворите во днех торжества и в день праздника Господня?
What will ye do on the day of the appointed festival, and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 Сего ради, се, пойдут от труда Египетска, и приимет их Мемфис, и погребет я махмас: сребро их пагуба наследит, терние во дворех их.
For, lo, they are gone forth because of the desolation: Egypt will gather them up, Moph will bury them: the pleasant chambers for their silver, —these shall nettles take possession of; thorns shall [grow] in their tents.
7 Приспеша дние отмщения твоего, приидоша дние воздаяния твоего, и озлобится Израиль, якоже пророк изумленный, человек духом носимый: от множества неправд твоих умножися изумление твое.
Come are the days of the visitation, come are the days of thy recompense; this shall Israel experience: a fool was the prophet, mad the inspired man, because of the greatness of thy iniquity, and the great hatefulness.
8 Страж Ефрем с Богом, пророк пругло строптиво на всех путех его: изумление в дому Божии утвердиша.
The watchman of Ephraim with my God, the prophet, was a snare of the fowler on all his ways, a hateful thing in the house of his god.
9 Растлешася по днем холма: воспомянет неправды их, отмстит грехи их.
They are deeply corrupt, as in the days of Gib'ah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10 Якоже грезн в пустыни обретох Израиля и яко стража на смоковнице ранняго увидех отцы их: тии внидоша ко Веельфегору и отчуждишася на стыдение, и быша мерзостнии якоже возлюбленнии.
Like grapes in the wilderness had I found Israel; as the first ripe fruit on the fig-tree in the first of the season had I seen your fathers; but they too went to Ba'al-pe'or: and devoted themselves unto that shameful idol, and became abominations as those they loved.
11 Ефрем яко птица отлете, славы их от порождений и болезней и от зачатий.
As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there is no more birth, and no pregnancy, and no conception.
12 Темже аще и воскормят чада своя, безчадны будут от человек: понеже и люте им есть, (зане оставих я, ) плоть моя от них.
But though they were to bring up their children, yet would I bereave them, that there should be no man: yea, woe also to themselves, when I depart from them!
13 Ефрем, якоже видех, в ловитву предпоставиша чада своя, и Ефрем еже извести на заколение чада своя.
Ephraim, as I have seen him like Tyre, planted in a pleasant meadow, —yet this Ephraim shall lead forth to the murderer his children.
14 Даждь им, Господи: что даси им? Даждь им утробу неплодящую и сосцы сухи.
Give them, O Lord, what thou wilt give! give them a miscarrying womb and dried-up breasts.
15 Вся злобы их во Галгалех, яко тамо их возненавидех за злобы начинаний их: из дому Моего изжену я, (ксему) не приложу любити их:
All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I [learnt to] hate them; for the wickedness of their doings will I drive them out of my house: I will love them no farther; all their princes are rebels.
16 вси князи их непокориви. Поболе Ефрем: корение его изсхоша, плода ксему да не принесет: понеже аще и породят, побию вожделенная утроб их.
Smitten is Ephraim, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet would I slay the beloved fruit of their body.
17 Отринет я Бог, яко не послушаша Его, и будут заблуждающии в языцех.
My God will reject them, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
