Книга пророка Исаии 47
1 Сниди, сяди на земли, дево, дщи Вавилоня, вниди во тму, дщи Халдейска, яко не приложиши ксему прозыватися мягка и юна.
Come down, sit on the ground, O virgin daughter of Babylon: sit on the ground, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no more be called tender and luxurious.
2 Возми жерновы, мели муку, открый покрывало твое, открый седины, возсучи голени, прейди реки:
Take a millstone, grind meal: remove your veil, uncover your white hairs, make bare the leg, pass through the rivers.
3 открыется студ твой, явятся укоризны твоя, праведное от тебе возму, ктому не предам человеком.
Your shame shall be uncovered, your reproaches shall be brought to light: I will exact of you due vengeance, I will no longer deliver you to men.
4 Рече Избавивый тя Господь Саваоф, имя Ему Святый Израилев:
Your deliverer is the Lord of hosts, the Holy One of Israel is his name.
5 сяди умилена, вниди во тму, дщи Халдейска, ксему не прозовешися крепость царства.
Sit you down pierced with woe, go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: you shall no more be called the strength of a kingdom.
6 Разгневахся на люди Моя, осквернила еси наследие Мое: Аз вдах я в руку твою, ты же не дала им милости, старчий ярем отягчила еси зело
I have been provoked with my people; you have defiled mine inheritance: I gave them into your hand, but you did not extend mercy to them: you made the yoke of the aged man very heavy,
7 и рекла еси: в век буду владычица: не помыслила еси сих в сердцы твоем, ниже помянула еси последних:
and said, I shall be a princess for ever: you did not perceive these things in your heart, nor did you remember the latter end.
8 ныне же слыши сие, юная, седящая, уповающая, глаголющая в сердцы своем: аз есмь, и несть иныя, не сяду вдовою и не познаю сиротства.
But now hear these words, you luxurious one, [who are] the one that sits [at ease], that is secure, that says in her heart, I am, and there is not another; I shall not sit a widow, neither shall I know bereavement.
9 Ныне же приидут на тя два сия внезапу во един день, безчадие и вдовство внезапу приидет на тя, в волшебстве твоем и в крепости волхвов твоих зело,
But now these two things shall come upon you suddenly in one day, the loss of children and widowhood shall come suddenly upon you, for your sorcery, for the strength of your enchantments,
10 в надеянии злобы твоея: ты бо рекла еси: аз есмь, и несть иныя: увеждь, яко смышление сих и блужение твое будет тебе срам: и рекла еси сердцем своим: аз есмь, и несть иныя.
for your trusting in wickedness: for you said, I am, and there is not another: know you, the understanding of these things and your harlotry shall be your shame; for you said in your heart, I am, and there is not another.
11 И приидет на тя пагуба, и не увеси, пропасть, и впадеши в ню: и приидет на тя печаль, и не возможеши чиста быти: и приидет на тя внезапу пагуба, и не увеси.
And destruction shall come upon you, and you shall not be aware; [there shall be a] pit, and you shall fall into it: and grief shall come upon you, and you shall not be able to be clear; and destruction shall come suddenly upon you, and you shall not know.
12 Стани ныне с волхвы твоими и со многими чары твоими, имже научилася еси из юности твоея, аще возмогут ти помощи.
Stand now with your enchantments, and with the abundance of your sorcery, which you have learned from your youth; if you can be profited.
13 Утрудилася еси в советех твоих: да станут ныне и спасут тя звездочетцы небесе, смотряющии звезд, да возвестят ти, что имать на тя приити.
You are wearied in your counsels. Let now the astrologers of the heaven stand and deliver you, let them that see the stars tell you what is about to come upon you.
14 Се, вси яко хврастие огнем погорят и не изимут души своея из пламене, понеже имаши углие огненное, сяди на них.
Behold, they all shall be burnt up as sticks in the fire; neither shall they at all deliver their life from the flame. Because you have coals of fire, sit you upon them;
15 Сии будут тебе помощь: трудилася еси в преложении от юности, человек сам в себе прельстися, тебе не не будет спасения.
these shall be your help. You have wearied yourself with traffic from your youth: every man has wandered to his own home, but you shall have no deliverance.
