Книга пророка Исаии 16
1 Послю аки гады на землю: еда камень и пуст есть гора дщере Сиони?
[The rulers of Moab will say to each other, ] “We must send some [lambs] from Sela [city] as a gift to the ruler of Judah [to persuade him to not allow his army to attack us any more]. We should send them through the desert to the king.
2 Будеши бо аки птицы парящия птенец отятый, дщи Моавля, потом же Арнон множайше совещавай.
The women of Moab will be left alone at the (fords of/places where people can walk across) the Arnon [River]; they will be like [SIM] birds that have been pushed out of their nests.
3 Сотворите покров плача ея присно: в полуденней тме бегут, ужаснушася: да не отведешися,
They will cry out, ‘Help us! Tell us what we should do! Protect us completely [MET], we who are running away [from our enemies], and do not (betray us/tell our enemies where we are).
4 обитати будут в тебе беглецы Моавли: будут в покровение вам от лица гонящаго, яко отяся помощь твоя, и князь погибе попираяй от земли.
Allow [those of us] who are fleeing from Moab to stay with you; hide/protect us from [our enemies who want to] destroy us!’ [Some day] there will be no one to oppress us, and our enemies will stop destroying [our land].
5 И исправится с милостию престол, и сядет на нем со истиною во скинии Давидове, судя и взыская суд и ускоряя правду.
Then [Yahweh] will appoint someone to be king who will be [a descendant of King] David. As he rules [MTY], he will be merciful and truthful. He will always do what is fair/just and quickly do what is righteous.”
6 Слышахом укоризну Моавлю, укоритель (бысть) зело, гордыню отях: не тако волхвование твое, не тако.
We [people of Judah] have heard about [the people of] Moab; we have heard that they are very proud and conceited [DOU]; they are insolent, but what they proudly say about themselves is not true.
7 Восплачется Моав, в Моавитиде бо вси восплачутся: живущым же в Сефе помышления, и не усрамишися.
[Some day all the people in] Moab will weep. They will all mourn, because [there will be no more] raisin cakes in Kir-Hareseth [city].
8 Поля Есевоня возрыдают, виноград Севамань: пожирающии языков, поперите винограды его, даже до Иазира: не совокупитеся, обходите пустыню, посланнии осташася, проидоша бо море.
The [crops in] the fields at Heshbon [city] will wither, and the vineyards at Sibmah [town] will wither also. The armies of [other] nations will destroy Moab, which is [like] [MET] a beautiful grapevine whose branches spread [north] to Jazer [town] and [east] to the desert. Its branches spread very far [west], to the west side of the [Dead] 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.
So I will weep for Jazer and for the grapevines of Sibmah. I will shed tears for all of you. I will cry because people will no longer shout joyfully, like they usually do when they gather the fruit that ripens in the (summer/hot season) and the other crops that they harvest.
10 И отимется радость и веселие от виноградов, и в виноградех твоих не возрадуются, и не изгнетут вина в точилех, престало бо есть:
People will no longer be glad at harvest time. No one will sing in the vineyards, no one will shout joyfully. No one will tread on grapes [to get grape juice for wine]; there will be nothing to shout about [joyfully].
11 сего ради чрево мое на Моава аки гусли возгласит, и внутренняя моя аки стену обновил еси.
I cry inwardly for Moab; my groaning is like [SIM] [a sad song played on] a harp. I am sad about Kir-Hareseth.
12 И будет в посрамление тебе, и яко утрудися Моав о требищих, и внидет в рукотворенная своя, да помолится, и не возмогут избавити его.
[The people of] Moab will go and pray at their sacred shrines, but that will not help them. They will cry out to their gods in their temples, [but] none of them will be able to rescue the people.
13 Сие слово еже глагола Господь на Моава, егда возглагола.
Yahweh has already spoken those things about Moab.
14 И ныне глаголю: в триех летех лет наемника обезчестится слава Моавля во всем богатстве мнозе, и оставится умален и нечестен.
But now he says that exactly three years from now, he will destroy all the things that [the people of] Moab have been proud of. Even though they have a huge number of people in Moab now, only a few people will remain alive, and they will be weak/helpless.
