Книга пророка Авдия 1
1 Видение Авдиино: сия глаголет Господь Бог Идумеи: слух слышах от Господа, известие во языки посла: востаните, и востанем на ню ратию.
The vision of 'Obadiah: Thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning Edom, A rumor have we heard from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her to war.
2 Се, мала дах тя во языцех, безчестен ты еси зело.
Behold, I make thee small among the nations: thou shalt be greatly despised.
3 Презорство сердца твоего воздвиже тя живущаго в пещерах каменных: возвышаяй храмину свою, глаголяй в сердцы своем: кто мя свержет на землю?
The presumption of thy heart hath beguiled thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 Аще вознесешися якоже орел и аще положиши гнездо твое среде звезд, и оттуду свергу тя, глаголет Господь.
Though thou wert to rise as high as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
5 Аще бы татие влезли к тебе, или разбойницы нощию, камо бы повержен был еси? Еда не украли бы доволных себе? Или аще бы объемлющии виноград влезли к тебе, еда бы не оставили гроздия?
How? are thieves come to thee? or night-prowling robbers? how destroyed art thou! would they not have stolen till they had enough? if grape-gatherers had come to thee, would they not have left some gleanings?
6 Како обыскася Исав, и взята быша сокровенная его?
How are [the treasures] of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things laid open!
7 Даже до предел испустиша тя: вси мужие завета твоего сопротивишася ти, премогоша тя мужие мирницы твои: (ядущии с тобою) положиша лесть под тобою, несть смысла в них.
Up to the border have accompanied thee all the men of thy confederacy; beguiled, overcome thee have the men that were at peace with thee: [they that eat] thy bread have struck thee secretly a wound. There is no understanding in him.
8 В той день, глаголет Господь, погублю премудрыя от Идумеи и смысл от горы Исавовы:
Shall I not on that same day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 и убоятся воини твои, иже от Феман, да отимется человек от горы Исавовы.
And thy mighty men, O Theman, shall be dismayed, in order that every one from the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10 Посечения ради и нечестия, еже на брата твоего Иакова, покрыет тя студ, и отвержен будеши во век.
Because of thy violence against thy brother Jacob shall shame cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 От негоже дне сопротивился еси во дни пленяющих иноплеменников силу его, и чуждии внидоша во врата его и о Иерусалиме вергоша жребия, и ты был еси яко един от них.
On the day that thou stoodest on the other side, on the day that strangers carried away captive his army, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots over Jerusalem, also thou wast as any one of them.
12 И да не презриши дне брата твоего в день чуждих, и да не порадуешися о сынех Иудиных в день погибели их, и да не велеречиши в день скорби:
But thou shouldst not have looked on [pleased] at the day of thy brother, on the day that he was delivered up to strangers; neither shouldst thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction; nor should thou have spoken proudly on the day of distress.
13 и не входи во врата людий Моих в день болезни их, и не презри и ты сонма их в день потребления их, и не совещайся на силу их в день погибели их:
Thou shouldst not have entered into the gate of my people on the day of their calamity; yea, thou too shouldst not have looked [pleased] on their affliction on the day of their calamity; nor have laid hands on their army on the day of their calamity;
14 ниже настой на исходы их потребити избегающыя их, ниже заключай бежащыя их в день скорби.
Neither shouldst thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldst thou have delivered up those of his that did remain on the day of distress.
15 Понеже близ день Господень на вся языки: якоже сотворил еси, сице будет ти, воздаяние твое воздастся на главу твою.
For near is the day of the Lord over all the nations: as thou hast done, shall it be done unto thee; thy deeds shall return upon thy own head.
16 Понеже якоже еси пил на горе Моей святей, испиют вси языцы вино, испиют и снидут, и будут яко не бывшии.
For as ye have drunk upon my holy mount, so shall all the nations drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and they shall reel about, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17 В горе же Сиони будет спасение, и будет свята: и наследят дом Иаковль наследивших я.
But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and it shall be holy: and the house of Jacob shall again possess their inheritances.
18 И будет дом Иаковль огнь, дом же Иосифов пламень, а дом Исавов в тростие, и возгорятся на них и поядят я, и не будет избегаяй дому Исавову, яко Господь глагола.
And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau become stubble, and they shall set them on fire, and devour them; and there shall not be any one remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it.
19 И наследят иже во нагеве гору Исавову, и иже в раздолии иноплеменники: и возмут гору Ефремову и поле Самарийско, и Вениамина и Галаадитиду.
And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the lowlands, the Philistines; and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin [shall possess] Gil'ad.
20 И преселения начало сие сыном Израилевым, земля Хананейска до Сарепты: преселение же Иерусалимле до Ефрафа: и наследят грады Нагевовы.
And the exiles of this host of the children of Israel that are [with] the Canaanites, as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 И взыдут спасаемии от горы Сиони, еже отмстити гору Исавлю, и будет царство Господеви.
And deliverers shall go up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau: and the kingdom shall be the Lord's
