Книга пророка Исаии 28
1 Горе венцу гордыни, наимницы Ефремовы, цвет отпадый от славы, на версе горы тучныя пиянии без вина.
Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, To the fading flower, his glorious beauty, At the head of the rich valley of a people stupefied with wine.
2 Се, крепка и жестока ярость Господня, аки град низпущаемый не имый крова, насильно низпущаемый: якоже воды многое множество влекущее страну, земли сотворит покой рукама,
Behold a strong, a mighty one from the Lord Like a storm of hail, like a destructive tempest, Like a flood of mighty, overflowing waters, With violence shall dash it to the ground.
3 и ногама поперется венец гордыни, наимницы Ефремовы.
It shall be trodden under foot, The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim.
4 И будет цвет отпадый от надежды славы на версе горы высокия, аки ранний плод смоквин: видевый его, прежде взятия в руце свои, восхощет поглотити его.
And the fading flower, their glorious beauty, At the head of the rich valley, Shall be as the early fig before the time of harvest, Which whoso seeth plucketh immediately, And swalloweth as soon as it is in his hand.
5 В той день будет Господь Саваоф венец надежди, сплетеный славою оставшымся людем.
In that day shall Jehovah of hosts Be a glorious crown, and a beautiful diadem to the residue of his people;
6 И оставятся духом судным на суд, и крепость возбраняющих погубляти.
A spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, And of strength to them that drive back the enemy to their gates.
7 Сии бо вином суть прельщени: прельстишася сикеры ради, жрец и пророк изступиша ума от сикеры, пожерты быша вином, потрясошася от пиянства сикеры, прельстишася: сие есть привидение.
But even these stagger through wine, And reel through strong drink; The priest and the prophet stagger through strong drink; They are overpowered with wine; They stumble through strong drink; They reel in vision, They stagger in judgment.
8 Проклятие пояст сей совет, сей бо совет ради лихоимства.
For all their tables are full of filthy vomit, So that there is no place clean.
9 Кому возвестихом злая и кому поведахом весть? Иже отдоении (суть) от млека, отторженнии от сосца.
“Whom,” say they, “will he teach knowledge, And to whom will he impart instruction? To the weaned from the milk? To those just taken from the breast?
10 Печали на печаль ожидай, надежды к надежди, еще мало, еще мало,
For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Command upon command, command upon command, A little here, and a little there.”
11 яко худостию устен, языком иным возглаголют людем сим, рекуще им:
Yea, with stammering lips and a strange tongue He shall indeed speak to this people;
12 сей покой алчному и сие сокрушение, и не восхотеша слышати.
He that said to them, “This is the way of rest, give rest to the weary; This is the way of safety”; But they would not hear.
13 И будет им слово Господа Бога, печаль к печали, надежда к надежди, еще мало, еще мало, да идут и падутся вспять и в беду впадут, и сокрушатся и пленени будут.
Then shall the word of Jehovah be indeed to them “Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Command upon command, command upon command, A little here, and a little there,” So that they shall go on, and fall backwards, and be broken, And be snared and caught.
14 Сего ради услышите слово Господне, мужие озлобленнии и князи людий сущих во Иерусалиме.
Wherefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, Ye scoffers, who rule this people in Jerusalem!
15 Яко рекосте: сотворихом завет со адом и со смертию сложение: буря носима аще мимоидет, не приидет на нас: положихом лжу надежду нашу и лжею покрыемся. (Sheol h7585)
Since ye say, “We have entered into a covenant with death, And with the under-world have we made an agreement, The overflowing scourge, when it passeth through, shall not reach us; For we have made falsehood our refuge, And in deceit we have hidden ourselves.” (Sheol h7585)
16 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз полагаю во основание Сиону камень многоценен, избран, краеуголен, честен, во основание ему, и веруяй в онь не постыдится:
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have laid in Zion as a foundation a stone, A tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation; He that trusteth shall not flee away.
17 и положу суд в надежду, милость же моя на мерилех, и уповавшии вотще на лжу, яко не минет вас буря:
I will make justice a line, And righteousness a plummet, And the hail shall sweep away the refuge of falsehood, And the waters shall overwhelm its hiding-place;
18 и не отимет от вас завета смертнаго, и надежда ваша, яже ко аду, не пребудет. Буря идущая аще найдет, будете ей в попрание: (Sheol h7585)
And your covenant with death shall be broken, And your agreement with the under-world shall not stand; When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, By it shall ye be beaten down. (Sheol h7585)
19 егда мимоидет, возмет вас: яко по всяко утро преходити будет в день, и в нощи будет надежда зла. Научитеся слышати, утесняемии:
As often as it passeth through, it shall bear you away; For every morning shall it pass through, By day and by night; Even to hear the rumor of it shall be terrible.
20 не можем ратовати, сами же изнемогаем, еже собратися нам.
Yea, the bed is too short for one to stretch himself on it, And the covering too narrow for one to wrap himself in it.
21 Якоже гора на нечестивых востанет Господь, и будет (якоже) в дебри Гаваонстей, с яростию сотворит дела Своя, горести дело: ярость же Его чуждо употребится, и погубление Его странно.
For Jehovah will rise up, as in mount Perazim; He will be moved with anger, as in the valley of Gibeon, To perform his act, his strange act, And to execute his work, his strange work.
22 И вы не радуйтеся, ниже да возмогут ваши узы: зане скончаны и сокращены вещи слышах от Господа Саваофа, яже сотворит над всею землею.
Now, therefore, be ye no longer scoffers, Lest your bands become stronger; For destruction and punishment have been revealed to me From Jehovah of hosts concerning the whole land!
23 Внушите и слышите глас мой, внемлите и слышите словеса моя.
Give ear, and listen to my voice, Attend, and hearken to my words!
24 Еда весь день будет оряй орати? Или семя уготовит прежде возделания земли?
Is the ploughman always ploughing in order to sow? Is he always opening and harrowing his field?
25 Не егда ли умягчит лице ея, тогда всеет мало чернухи и кимина, потом же сеет пшеницу и ячмень и просо в пределех твоих?
When he hath made the face thereof even, Doth he not then scatter the dill, and cast abroad the cumin, And sow the wheat in rows, And the barley in its appointed place, And the spelt in his border?
26 И научишися суду Бога твоего и возрадуешися.
Thus his God rightly instructeth him, And giveth him knowledge.
27 Ибо не с жестокостию очищается чернуха, ниже коло колесничное обыдет кимина, но жезлом истрясается чернуха, кимин же со хлебом снестся.
The dill is not beaten out with the thrashing-sledge, Nor is the wheel of the wain rolled over the cumin; But the dill is beaten out with a staff, And the cumin with a rod.
28 Не во век бо Аз разгневаюся на вы, ниже глас гнева Моего поперет вас.
Bread-corn is beaten out, Yet doth not the husbandman thrash it without limit. He driveth over it the wheels of the wain, And the horses, yet doth he not utterly crush it.
29 И сия от Господа Саваофа изыдоша чудеса: советуйте, вознесите тщетное утешение.
This also proceedeth from Jehovah of hosts; He is wonderful in counsel, Excellent in wisdom.
