Книга пророка Исаии 16

1 Послю аки гады на землю: еда камень и пуст есть гора дщере Сиони?

I will send as it were reptiles on the land: is [not] the mount of the daughter of Sion a desolate rock?

2 Будеши бо аки птицы парящия птенец отятый, дщи Моавля, потом же Арнон множайше совещавай.

For you shall be as a young bird taken away from a bird that has flown: [even] you shall be [so], daughter of Moab: and then do you, O Arnon,

3 Сотворите покров плача ея присно: в полуденней тме бегут, ужаснушася: да не отведешися,

take farther counsel, and continually make you a shelter from grief: they flee in darkness at mid-day; they are amazed; be not you led captive.

4 обитати будут в тебе беглецы Моавли: будут в покровение вам от лица гонящаго, яко отяся помощь твоя, и князь погибе попираяй от земли.

The fugitives of Moab shall sojourn with you; they shall be to you a shelter from the face of the pursuer: for your alliance has been taken away, and the oppressing ruler has perished from off the earth.

5 И исправится с милостию престол, и сядет на нем со истиною во скинии Давидове, судя и взыская суд и ускоряя правду.

And a throne shall be established with mercy; and one shall sit upon it with truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and earnestly seeking judgements, and hasting righteousness.

6 Слышахом укоризну Моавлю, укоритель (бысть) зело, гордыню отях: не тако волхвование твое, не тако.

We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud. I have cut off his pride: your prophecy shall not be thus, [no] not thus.

7 Восплачется Моав, в Моавитиде бо вси восплачутся: живущым же в Сефе помышления, и не усрамишися.

Moab shall howl; for all shall howl in the land of Moab: but you shall care for them that dwell in Seth, and you shall not be ashamed.

8 Поля Есевоня возрыдают, виноград Севамань: пожирающии языков, поперите винограды его, даже до Иазира: не совокупитеся, обходите пустыню, посланнии осташася, проидоша бо море.

The plains of Esebon shall mourn, the vine of Sebama: swallowing up the nations, trample you her vines, even to Jazer: you shall not come together; wander you in the desert: they that were sent are deserted, for they have gone over to the sea.

9 Сего ради восплачуся яко плачем Иазировым о винограде Севамани: древа твоя посече Есевон и Елиала, яко на жатву твою и на оымание вина поперу, и вся падутся.

Therefore will I weep as with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sebama; Esebon and Eleale have cast down your trees; for I will trample on your harvest and on your vintages, and all [your plants] shall fall.

10 И отимется радость и веселие от виноградов, и в виноградех твоих не возрадуются, и не изгнетут вина в точилех, престало бо есть:

And gladness and rejoicing shall be taken away from the vineyards; and they shall not at all tread wine into the vats; for [the vintage] has ceased.

11 сего ради чрево мое на Моава аки гусли возгласит, и внутренняя моя аки стену обновил еси.

Therefore my belly shall sound as a harp for Moab, and you have repaired my inward parts as a wall.

12 И будет в посрамление тебе, и яко утрудися Моав о требищих, и внидет в рукотворенная своя, да помолится, и не возмогут избавити его.

And it shall be to your shame, (for Moab is wearied at the altars, ) that he shall go in to the idols thereof to pray, but they shall not be at all able to deliver him.

13 Сие слово еже глагола Господь на Моава, егда возглагола.

This is the word which the Lord spoke against Moab, when he spoke.

14 И ныне глаголю: в триех летех лет наемника обезчестится слава Моавля во всем богатстве мнозе, и оставится умален и нечестен.

And now I say, in three years, of the years of an hireling, the glory of Moab shall be dishonoured [with] all his great wealth; and he shall be left few in number, and not honoured.
