Книга пророка Исаии 23
1 Плачитеся, корабли Кархидонстии, яко погибе, и ктому не идут от земли Китиейския, отведеся пленен.
The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of the sea, for the house is destroyed, from whence they were wont to come: from the land of Cethim it is revealed to them.
2 Кому подобни быша живущии во острове, купцы Финичестии, преходящии море?
Be silent, you that dwell in the island: the merchants of Sidon passing over the sea, have filled thee.
3 В воде мнозе семя купеческо, аки жатве вносимей купцы язычестии.
The seed of the Nile in many waters, the harvest of the river is her revenue: and she is become the mart of the nations.
4 Усрамися, Сидоне, рече море. Крепость же морская рече: не болех, ни породих, ни вскормих юнош, ниже вознесох девиц.
Be thou ashamed, O Sidon: for the sea speaketh, even the strength of the sea, saying: I have not been in labour, nor have I brought forth, nor have I nourished up young men, nor brought up virgins.
5 Егда же слышано будет во Египте, приимет я болезнь о Тире.
When it shall be heard in Egypt, they will be sorry when they shall hear of Tyre:
6 Идите в Кархидон, плачитеся, живущии во острове сем.
Pass over the seas, howl, ye inhabitants of the island.
7 Не сие ли бе величание вам исперва, прежде неже предану быти ему?
Is not this your city, which gloried from of old in her antiquity? her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
8 Кто сия совеща на Тира? Еда хуждший есть, или не крепкий есть? Купцы его славнии князи земли.
Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, that was formerly crowned, whose merchants were princes, and her traders the nobles of the earth?
9 Господь Саваоф совеща разсыпати всякую гордыню славных и обезчестити всякое славное на земли.
The Lord of hosts hath designed it, to pull down the pride of all glory, and bring to disgrace all the glorious ones of the earth.
10 Делай землю твою, ибо корабли ктому не приидут от Кархидона.
Pass thy land as a river, O daughter of the sea, thou hast a girdle no more.
11 И рука Твоя ктому не укрепеет по морю, разгневляющая царей. Господь Саваоф заповеда о Ханаане, еже погубити крепость его.
He stretched out his hand over the sea, he troubled kingdoms: the Lord hath given a charge against Chanaan, to destroy the strong ones thereof.
12 И рекут: ктому не приложите укаряти и обидети дщерь Сидоню: и аще отидеши ко Китииом, ниже тамо будет тебе покой:
And he said: Thou shalt glory no more, O virgin daughter of Sidon, who art oppressed: arise and sail over to Cethim, there also thou shalt have no, rest.
13 и в землю Халдейску, но и та опустела от Ассириан, яко стена ея падеся.
Behold the land of the Chaldeans, there was not such a people, the Assyrian founded it: they have led away the strong ones thereof into captivity, they have destroyed the houses thereof, they have brought it to ruin.
14 Плачитеся, корабли Кархидонстии, яко погибе твердыня ваша.
Howl, O ye ships of the sea, for your strength is laid waste.
15 И будет в той день, оставлен будет Тир седмьдесят лет, якоже время (единаго) царя, яко время человеческо: и по седмидесятих летех будет Тир яко песнь блудницы.
And it shall come to pass in that day that thou, O Tyre, shalt be forgotten, seventy years, according to the days of one king: but after seventy years, there shall be unto Tyre as the song of a harlot.
16 Возми гусли, обыди град, блудница забвеная, добре погуди, много воспой, да память твоя будет.
Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten: sing well, sing many a song, that thou mayst be remembered.
17 И будет по седмидесятих летех, присещение сотворит Бог Тиру, и паки возставится на прежднее и будет торжище всем царствам вселенныя на лицы земли.
And it shall come to pass after seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and will bring her back again to her traffic: and she shall commit fornication again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
18 И будет его купля и мзда свято Господеви, не им собрано будет, но живущым пред Господем, вся купля его, ясти и пити и наполнитися, и в сытость, на память пред Господем.
And her merchandise and her hire shall be sanctified to the Lord: they shall not be kept in store, nor laid up: for her merchandise shall be for them that shall dwell before the Lord, that they may eat unto fulness, and be clothed for a continuance.
