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 Abdias. Thus saith the Lord God to Edom: We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and he hath sent an ambassador to the nations: Arise, and let us rise up to battle against him.
2 Се, мала дах тя во языцех, безчестен ты еси зело.
Behold I have made thee small among the nations: thou art exceeding contemptible.
3 Презорство сердца твоего воздвиже тя живущаго в пещерах каменных: возвышаяй храмину свою, глаголяй в сердцы своем: кто мя свержет на землю?
The pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, who dwellest in the clefts of the rocks, and settest up thy throne on high: who sayest in thy 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 be exalted as an 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?
If thieves had gone in to thee, if robbers by night, how wouldst thou have held thy peace? would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers had come in to thee, would they not have left thee at the least a cluster?
6 Како обыскася Исав, и взята быша сокровенная его?
How have they searched Esau, how have they sought out his hidden things?
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.
They have sent thee out even to the border: all the men of thy confederacy have deceived thee: the men of thy peace have prevailed against thee: they that eat with thee shall lay snares under thee: there is no wisdom in him.
8 В той день, глаголет Господь, погублю премудрыя от Идумеи и смысл от горы Исавовы:
Shall not I in that day, saith the Lord, destroy the wise 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 valiant men of the south shall be afraid, that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.
10 Посечения ради и нечестия, еже на брата твоего Иакова, покрыет тя студ, и отвержен будеши во век.
For the slaughter, and for the iniquity against thy brother Jacob, confusion shall cover thee, and thou shalt perish 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.
In the day when thou stoodest against him, when strangers carried away his army captive, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem: thou also wast as 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 shalt not look on in the day of thy brother, in the day of his leaving his country: and thou shalt not rejoice over the children of Juda, in the day of their destruction: and thou shalt not magnify thy mouth in 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:
Neither shalt thou enter into the gate of my people in the day of their ruin: neither shalt thou also look on in his evils in the day of his calamity: and thou shalt not be sent out against his army in the day of his desolation.
14 ниже настой на исходы их потребити избегающыя их, ниже заключай бежащыя их в день скорби.
Neither shalt thou stand in the crossways to kill them that flee: and thou shalt not shut up them that remain of him in the day of tribulation.
15 Понеже близ день Господень на вся языки: якоже сотворил еси, сице будет ти, воздаяние твое воздастся на главу твою.
For the day of the Lord is at hand upon all nations: as thou hast done, so shall it be done to thee: he will turn thy reward 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 you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so all nations shall drink continually: and they shall drink, and sup up, and they shall be as though they were not.
17 В горе же Сиони будет спасение, и будет свята: и наследят дом Иаковль наследивших я.
And in mount Sion shall be salvation, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess those that possessed them.
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 stubble: and they shall be kindled in them, and shall devour them: and there shall be no remains 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 that are toward the south, shall inherit the mount of Esau, and they that are in the plains, the Philistines: and they shall possess the country of Ephraim, and the country of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Galaad.
20 И преселения начало сие сыном Израилевым, земля Хананейска до Сарепты: преселение же Иерусалимле до Ефрафа: и наследят грады Нагевовы.
And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel, all the places of the Chanaanites even to Sarepta: and the captivity of Jerusalem that is in Bosphorus, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 И взыдут спасаемии от горы Сиони, еже отмстити гору Исавлю, и будет царство Господеви.
And saviours shall come up into mount Sion to judge the mount of Esau: and the kingdom shall be for the Lord.
