Книга пророка Исаии 34
1 Приступите, языцы, и услышите, князи: да слышит земля и живущии на ней, вселенная и людие, иже на ней.
You people of all nations, come near and listen and pay careful attention. I want the world and everything that is in it to hear what I say.
2 Зане ярость Господня на вся языки и гнев на число их, еже погубити их и предати я на заклание.
Yahweh is angry with [the people of] all nations; he is (furious/very angry) with all their armies. He has decided that they must be destroyed, and he will slaughter them.
3 И язвении их повергнутся и мертвецы, и взыдет их смрад, и намокнут горы кровию их:
Their corpses will not be buried, and [as a result] their corpses will stink, and their blood will [fill the streams that] flow down the mountains.
4 и истают вся силы небесныя, и свиется небо аки свиток, и вся звезды спадут яко листвие с лозы, и якоже спадает листвие смоковницы.
The sky will disappear like [SIM] a scroll that is rolled up [and thrown away]. Stars will fall [from the sky] like [SIM] [withered] leaves fall from grapevines, [or] like [SIM] shriveled figs fall from fig trees.
5 Упися мечь Мой на небеси: се, на Идумею снидет и на люди пагубныя с судом.
When Yahweh has finished his work of destroying objects in the sky, he will punish [the people of] Edom, that people-group that he has said must be destroyed/exterminated.
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.
[It is as though] Yahweh has a sword that is covered with blood and fat— the blood of lambs and goats and the fat of the kidneys of rams to be sacrificed. [It is as though] Yahweh will offer a sacrifice in [the city of] Bozrah [and kill many people] in other cities in Edom.
7 И падут с ними сильнии, и овны и юнцы, и упиется земля от крове и от тука их насытится:
[Even] wild oxen will be killed, as well as young calves and big bulls. The ground will be soaked with blood, and the dirt will be covered with the fat of those animals.
8 день бо суда Господня, и лето воздаяния суда Сионя.
That will be the time when Yahweh gets revenge for what those people did to the people of Judah.
9 И обратятся дебри его в смолу, и земля его в жупел,
The streams in Edom will be full of burning pitch/tar, and the ground will be covered with burning sulfur.
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.
Yahweh will never finish punishing Edom with fire; the smoke will rise forever. No one will ever live in that land, and no one will [even] travel through it.
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.
Ravens and various kinds of owls and small animals will live there. Yahweh will measure that land carefully: He will measure it to [to decide where] to cause chaos and destruction.
12 Князи его не будут: царие бо и вельможи его будут в пагубу.
There will be no princes; the people who have authority will have no kingdom to rule.
13 И возникнут во градех их терновая древеса и во твердынех его, и будут селения сирином и селища струфионом:
The deserted palaces and fortified buildings will be full of thorns and thistles. The ruins will be a place for jackals/wolves and owls to live.
14 и срящутся беси со онокентавры и возопиют друг ко другу, ту почиют онокентаври, обретше себе покоища:
Animals that live in the desert and hyenas/wolves will be there, and wild goats will bleat/call to each other. There will also be creatures/animals that [roam around] at night.
15 тамо возгнездится ежь, и сохранит земля дети его со утверждением: тамо елени сретошася и увидеша лица друг друга.
Owls will make their nests there and lay their eggs in the nests; and when the eggs hatch, the mother birds will cover them [with their wings]. There will also be falcons/hawks there, each with its mate.
16 Числом преидоша, и един и них не погибе, друг друга не взыска, яко Господь заповеда им, и дух Его собра я.
If you read what is written in the book that contains messages from Yahweh, you will find out what he will do [in Edom]. All of those animals and birds will be there, and each one will have a mate, because that is what Yahweh has promised, and his Spirit will cause them [all] to gather [there].
17 И Той вержет им жребия, и рука Его раздели пастися: в вечное время наследите, в роды родов почиют в нем.
He has decided what parts of the land [of Edom] each will live in, and those are the places where each bird or animal will live. Their descendants will possess those areas forever, throughout all generations.
