Книга пророка Исаии 17
1 Се, Дамаск возмется от градов и будет в падение.
[I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Damascus [the capital of Syria]: “Listen carefully! Damascus will no longer be a city; it will be [only] a heap of ruins!
2 Оставлен в век, в ложе стадам и в покой, и не будет отгоняяй.
The towns near Aroer [city] will be abandoned. Flocks [of sheep] will [eat grass in the streets and] lie down there, and there will be no one to chase them away.
3 И ксему не будет укреплен, еже вбегнути тамо Ефрему: и ксему не будет царство в Дамасце, и останок Сирян погибнет: неси бо ты лучший от сынов Израилевых и славы их: сия глаголет Господь Саваоф.
The cities in Israel will not have walls around them [to protect them]. The power of the kingdom of Damascus will be ended, and the few people who will remain in Damascus will be disgraced like the people in Israel were disgraced.” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
4 Будет в той день помрачение славы Иаковли, и тучная славы его потрясутся.
“At that time, Israel will become insignificant. It will be [like] [MET] a fat person who has become very thin.
5 И будет, якоже аще кто собирает жатву стоящую, и семя класов пожинает: и будет, якоже аще кто собирает класы в дебри Тверде.
The entire land will be like [SIM] a field where the harvesters have cut all the grain; there will be nothing left, like [SIM] the fields in the Rephaim Valley after all the crops have been harvested.
6 И останется в ней стеблие, или аки зерна маслична две или три на версе высоце, или четыре или пять на ветвии ея останут: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев.
Only a few of the Israeli people will remain [MET], like [SIM] the few olives that remain on the top of a tree after the workers have caused all the other olives to fall [to the ground]. [There will be only] two or three olives in the top branches, [or] four or five olives on the other branches.” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
7 В той день уповая будет человек на Сотворшаго и, и очи его ко Святому Израилеву воззрят,
[Then], at that time, [you] people [of Israel] will (turn for help to/look up to) God, your creator, the Holy One of Israel.
8 и не будут уповающе на требища, ниже на дела рук своих, яже сотвориша персты их, и не будут смотрити на Дубравы, ниже на мерзости их.
You will no [longer] seek to get help from your idols or worship the idols that you have made with your own hands [DOU]. You will never again bow down in front of the poles [where you worship the goddess] Asherah. You will never again worship at the shrines [that you have built for burning incense].
9 В той день будут гради твои оставлени, якоже оставиша Аморрее и Евее от лица сынов Израилевых: и будут пусти,
The largest cities in Israel will be abandoned, like the land that the Hiv and Amor people-groups abandoned (OR, like the forests that the [Canaan people-group] abandoned) when the Israelis [attacked them long ago]. No one will live there.
10 зане оставил еси Бога спаса твоего и Господа помощника твоего не помянул еси: сего ради насадиши сад неверен и семя неверно.
[That will happen] because you have stopped worshiping God who is [like] [MET] a huge rock under which you can be safe. You have forgotten that he is the one who can hide/protect you. So, [now] you plant very nice grapevines and [even] plant very expensive ones that come from other countries.
11 В оньже бо день аще насадиши, прельстишися: а еже аще заутра посееши, то процветет на жатву, во оньже день наследиши, и аки отец человечь наследие даси сыном твоим.
[But] even if they sprout leaves on the day that you plant them, and even if they produce blossoms on that same morning, at harvest time, there will not be any grapes for you to pick. All that you will get is a lot of agony/misery.
12 О, люте множеству языков многих! Аки море волнующееся, тако смятетеся, и хребет языков многих яко вода возшумит:
Listen! [The armies of] many nations will roar like the sea roars. It will sound like the noise of crashing waves.
13 аки вода многа языцы мнози, аки (шум) воды многия нуждею носимыя: и отвержет его и далече поженет его, аки прах плевный веющих противу ветра, и яко прах колесный буря возносящая.
But even though their loud roaring will be like the sound of crashing waves, when Yahweh rebukes them, they will run far away. They will flee like [SIM] chaff on the hills scatters when the wind [blows], like tumbleweeds scatter when a windstorm blows.
14 К вечеру, и будет плачь: прежде заутрия, и не будет: сия часть пленивших ны, и жребий наследивших нас.
And, even though you people of Israel will be terrified, in the morning [your enemies] will all be gone/dead. That is what will happen to those who invade our land and [then] steal our possessions.
