Книга пророка Исаии 16
1 Послю аки гады на землю: еда камень и пуст есть гора дщере Сиони?
Send forth, O Lord, the lamb, the ruler of the earth, from Petra of the desert, to the mount of the daughter of Sion.
2 Будеши бо аки птицы парящия птенец отятый, дщи Моавля, потом же Арнон множайше совещавай.
And it shall come to pass, that as a bird fleeing away, and as young ones flying out of the nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be in the passage of Arnon.
3 Сотворите покров плача ея присно: в полуденней тме бегут, ужаснушася: да не отведешися,
Take counsel, gather a council: make thy shadow as the night in the midday: hide them that flee, and betray not them that wander about.
4 обитати будут в тебе беглецы Моавли: будут в покровение вам от лица гонящаго, яко отяся помощь твоя, и князь погибе попираяй от земли.
My fugitives shall dwell with thee: O Moab, be thou a covert to them from the face of the destroyer: for the dust is at an end, the wretch is consumed: he hath failed, that trod the earth under foot.
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 prepared in mercy, and one shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking judgment and quickly rendering that which is just.
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 exceeding proud: his pride and his arrogancy, and his indignation is more than his strength.
7 Восплачется Моав, в Моавитиде бо вси восплачутся: живущым же в Сефе помышления, и не усрамишися.
Therefore shall Moab howl to Moab, every one shall howl: to them that rejoice upon the brick walls, tell ye their stripes.
8 Поля Есевоня возрыдают, виноград Севамань: пожирающии языков, поперите винограды его, даже до Иазира: не совокупитеся, обходите пустыню, посланнии осташася, проидоша бо море.
For the suburbs of Hesebon are desolate, and the lords of the nations have destroyed the vineyard of Sabama: the branches thereof have reached even to Jazer: they have wandered in the wilderness, the branches thereof are left, they are gone over 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 I will lament with the weeping of Jazer the vineyard of Sabama: I will water thee with my tears, O Hesebon, and Eleale: for the voice of the treaders hath rushed in upon thy vintage, and upon thy harvest.
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 joy shall be taken away from Carmel, and there shall be no rejoicing nor shouting in the vineyards. He shall not tread out wine in the press that was wont to tread it out: the voice of the treaders I have taken away.
11 сего ради чрево мое на Моава аки гусли возгласит, и внутренняя моя аки стену обновил еси.
Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for the brick 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 come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is wearied on his high places, that he shall go in to his sanctuaries to pray, and shall not prevail.
13 Сие слово еже глагола Господь на Моава, егда возглагола.
This is the word, that the Lord spoke to Moab from that time:
14 И ныне глаголю: в триех летех лет наемника обезчестится слава Моавля во всем богатстве мнозе, и оставится умален и нечестен.
And now the Lord hath spoken, saying: In three years, as the years of a hireling, the glory of Moab shall be taken away for all the multitude of the people, and it shall be left small and feeble, not many.
