Книга пророка Исаии 10
1 Горе пишущым лукавство: пишущии бо лукавство пишут,
Woe unto those that decree decrees of unrighteousness, and the writers who write down wrongful things;
2 укланяюще суд убогих, восхищающе суд нищих людий Моих, яко быти им вдовице в расхищение и сироте в разграбление.
To turn aside from judgment the needy, and to rob the just due of the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and [that] they may plunder the fatherless!
3 И что сотворят в день посещения? Скорбь бо вам отдалече приидет. И к кому прибегнете, да поможет вам? И где оставите славу вашу,
And what will ye do on the day of the visitation, and at the desolation which will come from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4 еже не впасти в пленение? И под убиеными падут. И во всех сих не отвратися гнев Его, но еще рука Его высока.
Without me they shall kneel down under the prisoners, and under the slain shall they fall. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand still remaineth stretched out.
5 Горе Ассирием, жезл ярости Моея и гнев есть в руку их.
Woe over Asshur, the rod of my anger; and a staff is in their hand my indignation.
6 Гнев Мой послю на язык беззаконен, и своих людий повелю сотворити корысти и пленение, и попрати грады и положити я в прах.
Against a hypocritical nation will I send him, and against the people of my fury will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to carry off the prey, and to render them trodden down like the mire of the streets.
7 Сей же не тако помысли и душею не тако возмне: но отступит ум его, и еже потребити языки не малы.
But he deemeth it not so, and his heart doth not think so; but to destroy is in his heart, and to cut off nations not a few.
8 И аще рекут ему: ты ли еси един князь?
For he saith, “Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 И речет: не взях ли страны, яже выше Вавилона и Халани, идеже столп создан, и взях Аравию и Дамаск и Самарию?
Is not Calno like Karkemish? is not Chamath like Arpad? is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 Якоже сия взях, и вся княжения возму. Возрыдайте, изваянная во Иерусалиме и в Самарии:
As my hand hath reached the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images exceeded in number those of Jerusalem and of Samaria:
11 якоже бо сотворих Самарии и рукотворенным ея, тако сотворю и Иерусалиму и кумиром его.
Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, do so unto Jerusalem and unto her idols?”
12 И будет, егда скончает Господь вся творя в горе Сиони и во Иерусалиме, наведет на ум великий на князя Ассирийска и на высоту славы очию его.
Wherefore shall it come to pass, that when the Lord hath completed all his work on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the haughtiness of the king of Asshur, and the vain-glory of his proud looks.
13 Рече бо: крепостию руки моея сотворю, и премудростию разума (моего) отиму пределы языков, и силу их пленю,
For he hath said, “By the strength of my hand have I done it, and by my wisdom, for I have intelligence; and I have removed the boundaries of nations, and their laid-up treasures have I plundered, and brought down low those that were powerfully seated.
14 и сотрясу грады населеныя, и вселенную всю оыму рукою моею яко гнездо, и яко оставленая яица возму: и несть, иже убежит мене, или противу мне речет, и отверзет уста и глумит.
And my hand hath reached, as a bird's nest, the wealth of the people: and as one gathereth up eggs that are forsaken, have I myself gathered up all the earth: and there was not one that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped.”
15 Еда прославится секира без секущаго ею? Или вознесется пила без влекущаго ю? Такожде аще кто возмет жезл, или древо: и не тако.
Shall the axe boast itself over him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that swingeth it? as if the rod should swing about those that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up him who is no wood.
16 Но послет Господь Саваоф на твою честь безчестие, и на твою славу огнь горя возгорится.
Therefore will the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, send forth among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory shall be kindled a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 И будет свет Израилев во огнь, и освятит его огнем горящим, и пояст яко сено вещество.
And the light of Israel shall become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers on one day.
18 В той день угаснут горы и холми и дубравы, и пояст от души даже до плотей: и будет бежай, яко бежай от пламене горяща:
And the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body, will he destroy: and he shall be as [a tree] eaten to powder by the worms.
19 и оставльшиися от них будут в число, и отроча малое напишет я.
And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few in number, so that a boy may write them down.
20 И будет в той день, не приложится ктому останок Израилев, и спасеннии Иаковли не будут ктому уповающе на обидевшыя их, но будут уповающе на Бога Святаго Израилева истиною.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall not farther lean for support upon him that smiteth them; but they shall lean upon the Lord, the Holy one of Israel, in truth.
21 И обратится останок Иаковль к Богу крепкому.
The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 И аще будут людие Израилевы яко песок морский, останок их спасется:
For though thy people Israel should be as the sand of the sea, [yet] a remnant [only] of them shall return: destruction is decreed, it overfloweth with righteousness.
23 слово бо совершая и сокращая правдою, яко слово сокращено сотворит Господь во всей вселенней.
For it is completed and decreed: the Lord, the Eternal of hosts will do it in the midst of all the land.
24 Сего ради сия глаголет Господь Саваоф: не бойтеся, людие Мои, от Ассириан, живущии в Сионе, яко жезлом поразит тя: язву бо наводит на тя, еже видети путь Египта.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord the Eternal of hosts, Be not afraid, O my people that dwellest in Zion, of Asshur, who will smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
25 Еще бо мало, и престанет гнев, ярость же Моя на совет их:
For yet but a very little while more, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger shall be for their destruction.
26 и воздвигнет Бог Сил на ня язву, яко язву Мадиамлю на месте Скорби, и ярость Его на путь иже к морю, на путь иже во Египет:
And the Lord shall lift up a scourge over him like [at] the smiting of Midian at the rock of 'Oreb: and as his staff was lifted over the sea, so will he carry him off after the manner of Egypt.
27 и будет в той день, отимется иго его от рамене твоего и страх его от тебе, и согниет иго от рамен ваших.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be removed from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be broken because of the fatness.
28 Приидет бо во град Аггай, и прейдет в Магеддо, и в Махмасе положит сосуды своя.
He cometh to 'Ayath, he passeth on to Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage;
29 И минет дебрь, и приидет во Аггай: страх приимет Раму град Саулов,
They go through the pass; they take up their lodging at Geba'; Ramah trembleth; Gib'ah of Saul fleeth.
30 побегнет дщерь Галимля, услышится в Лаисе, услышится во Анафофе.
Let thy voice resound, O daughter of Gallim; listen Layshah; O poor 'Anathoth!
31 И ужасеся Мадемина и живущии во Гивиме.
Madmenah is in motion; the inhabitants of Gebim are assembled to flee.
32 Утешайте днесь еже на пути пребыти: утешайте рукою гору дщерь Сионю, и холми, иже во Иерусалиме:
As yet today will he remain at Nob: then will he swing his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 се Владыка Господь Саваоф смятет славныя со крепостию, и высоции укоризною сокрушатся, и высоцыи смирятся,
Behold, the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, will lop off the fruitful bough with terrific might: and those of towering growth shall be hewn down, and the high shall be laid low.
34 и падут высоцыи мечем, Ливан же с высокими падется.
And he will cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and the Lebanon shall fall by [means of] a mighty one.
