Книга пророка Исаии 13
1 Видение на Вавилона, еже виде Исаиа сын Амосов.
The burden of Babylon which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw.
2 На горе польней воздвигните знамение, вознесите глас им, не бойтеся, поущайте рукою, отверзите, князи.
Over the foggy mountain lift up a sign! Raise the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers enter through the gates!
3 Аз повелеваю, освященни суть: и Аз веду их, исполини идут исполнити ярость Мою радующеся, вкупе и укаряюще.
In my wrath, I commanded my sanctified ones, and I called my strong ones, those who exult in my glory.
4 Глас языков многих на горах, подобен языков многих, глас царей и языков собравшихся: Господь Саваоф заповеда языку оружеборцу
On the mountains, there is the voice of a multitude, as if of a numerous people, a voice with the sound of kings, of nations gathered together. For the Lord of hosts has given orders to soldiers of war,
5 приити от земли издалеча, от края основания небесе, Господь и оружеборцы Его, растлити всю вселенную.
to those who are arriving from a far off land, from the heights of the heavens. It is the Lord and the instruments of his fury, so that he may bring ruin to all the earth.
6 Рыдайте: близ бо день Господень, и сокрушение от Бога приидет:
Wail aloud! For the day of the Lord draws near! It will arrive like a devastation from the Lord.
7 сего ради всяка рука разслабеет, и всяка душа человеча убоится,
Because of it, every hand will fail, and every heart of man will waste away and be crushed.
8 и смятутся послы, и болезни приимут я яко жены раждающия: и поскорбят друг ко другу, и ужаснутся, и лице свое яко пламень изменят.
Writhing and pain will seize them. They will be in pain, like a woman in labor. Each one will appear stupefied to his neighbor. Their countenances will be like faces which have been burned up.
9 Се бо, день Господень грядет неизцельный, ярости и гнева, положити вселенную (всю) пусту и грешники погубити от нея.
Behold, the day of the Lord approaches: a cruel day, full of indignation and wrath and fury, which will place the earth in solitude and crush the sinners from it.
10 Звезды бо небесныя и орион и все украшение небесное света своего не дадят, и помрачится солнце возсиявающее, и луна не даст света своего.
For the stars of the heavens, in their splendor, will not display their light. The sun will be obscured at its rising, and the moon will not shine in her brightness.
11 И заповем всей вселенней злая и нечестивым грехи их, и погублю укоризну беззаконных и укоризну гордых смирю:
And I will act against the evils of the world, and against the impious for their iniquity. And I will cause the pride of the unfaithful to cease, and I will bring down the arrogance of the strong.
12 и будут оставшии честнии паче, нежели злато нежженое, и человек честен будет паче, нежели камень, иже от Суфира.
A man will be more precious than gold, and mankind will become like pure refined gold.
13 Разярится бо небо, и земля потрясется от оснований своих, за ярость гнева Господа Саваофа в день, в оньже приидет ярость Его.
For this purpose, I will stir up heaven, and the earth will be moved from its place, because of the indignation of the Lord of hosts, because of the day of his furious wrath.
14 И будут оставшии яко серна бежащая и яко овца заблудившая, и не будет собираяй, яко человеку в люди своя возвратитися, и человек во страну свою побегнет.
And they will be like a doe fleeing away, or like sheep; and there will be no one who may gather them together. Each one will turn to his own people, and every one will flee to his own land.
15 Иже бо аще пленится, поразится, и иже собрани суть, мечем падут.
All who are found will be killed, and all who are caught unaware will fall by the sword.
16 И чада их пред ними разбиют, и домы их пленят, и жены их поймут.
Their infants will be thrown down violently before their eyes. Their houses will be plundered, and their wives will be violated.
17 Се, Аз возбуждаю на вы Мидов, иже сребра не вменяют, ниже злата требуют:
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them. They will not seek silver, nor desire gold.
18 стреляния юношеская сокрушат, и чад ваших не помилуют, ниже пощадят чад твоих очи их.
Instead, with their arrows, they will put the little children to death, and they will take no pity on breastfeeding women, and their eye will not spare their children.
19 И будет Вавилон, иже нарицается славный от царя Халдейска, якоже разсыпа Бог Содому и Гоморру,
And then Babylon, the glorious one among kingdoms, that famous pride of the Chaldeans, will be destroyed, even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 не населится в вечное время, и не внидут в онь чрез многия роды, ниже пройдут его Аравляне, ниже пастуси почиют в нем.
It will not be inhabited, even unto the end, and it will not be reestablished, even from generation to generation. The Arab will not pitch his tents there, nor will the shepherds take rest there.
21 И почиют тамо зверие, и наполнятся домове шума, и почиют ту сирини, и беси тамо воспляшут,
Instead, the wild beasts will rest there, and their houses will be filled with serpents, and ostriches will live there, and the hairy ones will leap about there.
22 и онокентавры тамо вселятся, и вогнездятся ежеве в домех их.
And the tawny owls will answer one another there, in its buildings, and the Sirens in its shrines of pleasure.
