Книга пророка Исаии 10
1 Горе пишущым лукавство: пишущии бо лукавство пишут,
Woe to those who enact unjust laws and write unfair decrees.
2 укланяюще суд убогих, восхищающе суд нищих людий Моих, яко быти им вдовице в расхищение и сироте в разграбление.
They deprive the needy of justice, rob the poor of my people of their rights, plunder widows, and make the fatherless their prey!
3 И что сотворят в день посещения? Скорбь бо вам отдалече приидет. И к кому прибегнете, да поможет вам? И где оставите славу вашу,
What will you do on judgment day when the destruction comes from far away? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth?
4 еже не впасти в пленение? И под убиеными падут. И во всех сих не отвратися гнев Его, но еще рука Его высока.
Nothing remains, and you crouch among the prisoners or fall among the killed. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
5 Горе Ассирием, жезл ярости Моея и гнев есть в руку их.
Woe to the Assyrian, the club of my anger, the rod by whom I wield my fury!
6 Гнев Мой послю на язык беззаконен, и своих людий повелю сотворити корысти и пленение, и попрати грады и положити я в прах.
I send him against an arrogant nation and against the people who bear my overflowing wrath. I order him to take the spoil, to take the prey, and to trample them like mud in the streets.
7 Сей же не тако помысли и душею не тако возмне: но отступит ум его, и еже потребити языки не малы.
But this is not what he intends, nor does he think this way. It is in his heart to destroy and eliminate many nations.
8 И аще рекут ему: ты ли еси един князь?
For he says, “Are not all my princes 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 Kalno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath 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 has overcome idolatrous kingdoms, whose carved figures were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 якоже бо сотворих Самарии и рукотворенным ея, тако сотворю и Иерусалиму и кумиром его.
just as I did to Samaria and her worthless idols, will I not also do the same to Jerusalem and to 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.
When the Lord has finished his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and his prideful looks.
13 Рече бо: крепостию руки моея сотворю, и премудростию разума (моего) отиму пределы языков, и силу их пленю,
For he says, “By my strength and by my wisdom I acted. I have understanding, and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples. I have stolen their treasures, and like a bull I have brought down the inhabitants.
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.
My hand has seized, as from a nest, the wealth of nations, and as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth. None fluttered their wings or opened their 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.
Will the ax boast about itself against the one who wields it? Will the saw praise itself more than the one who cuts with it? It is as if a rod could lift up those who raise it, or as if a wooden club could lift up a person.
16 Но послет Господь Саваоф на твою честь безчестие, и на твою славу огнь горя возгорится.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh of hosts will send emaciation among his elite warriors; and under his glory there will be kindled a burning like fire.
17 И будет свет Израилев во огнь, и освятит его огнем горящим, и пояст яко сено вещество.
The light of Israel will become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; it will burn and devour his thorns and briers in 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:
Yahweh will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful land, both soul and body; it will be like when a sick man's life wastes away.
19 и оставльшиися от них будут в число, и отроча малое напишет я.
The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few, that a child could count them.
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.
On that day, the remnant of Israel, the family of Jacob that has escaped, will no longer rely on the one who defeated them, but will indeed depend on Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel.
21 И обратится останок Иаковль к Богу крепкому.
A remnant of Jacob will return to the mighty God.
22 И аще будут людие Израилевы яко песок морский, останок их спасется:
For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the seashore, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, as overflowing righteousness demands.
23 слово бо совершая и сокращая правдою, яко слово сокращено сотворит Господь во всей вселенней.
For the Lord Yahweh of hosts, is about to carry out the destruction determined throughout 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 the Lord Yahweh of hosts says, “My people who live in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian. He will strike you with the rod and raise his staff against you, as the Egyptians did.
25 Еще бо мало, и престанет гнев, ярость же Моя на совет их:
Do not fear him, for in a very short time my anger against you will end, and my anger will lead to his 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:
Then Yahweh of hosts will wield a whip against them, as when he defeated Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise his rod over the sea and lift it up as he did in Egypt.
27 и будет в той день, отимется иго его от рамене твоего и страх его от тебе, и согниет иго от рамен ваших.
On that day, his burden is lifted from your shoulder and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of fatness.
28 Приидет бо во град Аггай, и прейдет в Магеддо, и в Махмасе положит сосуды своя.
The enemy has come to Aiath and has passed through Migron; at Michmash he has stored his provisions.
29 И минет дебрь, и приидет во Аггай: страх приимет Раму град Саулов,
They have crossed over the pass and they lodge at Geba. Ramah trembles and Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 побегнет дщерь Галимля, услышится в Лаисе, услышится во Анафофе.
Cry aloud, daughter of Gallim! Give attention, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!
31 И ужасеся Мадемина и живущии во Гивиме.
Madmenah is fleeing, and the inhabitants of Gebim run for safety.
32 Утешайте днесь еже на пути пребыти: утешайте рукою гору дщерь Сионю, и холми, иже во Иерусалиме:
This very day he will halt at Nob and shake his fist at the mountain 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 Yahweh of hosts will lop off the boughs with a terrifying crash; the tallest trees will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 и падут высоцыи мечем, Ливан же с высокими падется.
He will chop down the thickets of the forest with an ax, and Lebanon in his majesty will fall.
