Книга пророка Исаии 34
1 Приступите, языцы, и услышите, князи: да слышит земля и живущии на ней, вселенная и людие, иже на ней.
COME near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
2 Зане ярость Господня на вся языки и гнев на число их, еже погубити их и предати я на заклание.
For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
3 И язвении их повергнутся и мертвецы, и взыдет их смрад, и намокнут горы кровию их:
Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4 и истают вся силы небесныя, и свиется небо аки свиток, и вся звезды спадут яко листвие с лозы, и якоже спадает листвие смоковницы.
And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
5 Упися мечь Мой на небеси: се, на Идумею снидет и на люди пагубныя с судом.
For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
6 Мечь Господень наполнися крове, растолсте туком, от крове козлов и агнцев и от тука козлов и овнов: яко жертва Господеви в Восоре, и заклание велие во Идумеи.
The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
7 И падут с ними сильнии, и овны и юнцы, и упиется земля от крове и от тука их насытится:
And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8 день бо суда Господня, и лето воздаяния суда Сионя.
For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
9 И обратятся дебри его в смолу, и земля его в жупел,
And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10 и будет земля его горящи яко смола днем и нощию, и не угаснет в вечное время, и взыдет дым ея высоце, в роды своя опустеет.
It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 И во время много птицы и ежеве, совы и вранове возгнездятся в нем: и возложат нань уже землемерно пустыни, и онокентаври вселятся в нем.
But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
12 Князи его не будут: царие бо и вельможи его будут в пагубу.
They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
13 И возникнут во градех их терновая древеса и во твердынех его, и будут селения сирином и селища струфионом:
And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.
14 и срящутся беси со онокентавры и возопиют друг ко другу, ту почиют онокентаври, обретше себе покоища:
The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
15 тамо возгнездится ежь, и сохранит земля дети его со утверждением: тамо елени сретошася и увидеша лица друг друга.
There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.
16 Числом преидоша, и един и них не погибе, друг друга не взыска, яко Господь заповеда им, и дух Его собра я.
Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
17 И Той вержет им жребия, и рука Его раздели пастися: в вечное время наследите, в роды родов почиют в нем.
And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
