Книга пророка Захарии 8
1 И бысть слово Господа Вседержителя (ко мне) глаголя:
And the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying,
2 сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: ревновах по Иерусалиме и Сионе рвением великим и яростию велиею ревновах по нем.
These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am angry about the fate of Zion, I am angry about her with great wrath.
3 Тако глаголет Господь: обращуся к Сиону и вселюся посреде Иерусалима, и наречется Иерусалим град истинный, и гора Господа Вседержителя гора святая.
This is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Zion, and will make my living-place in Jerusalem: and Jerusalem will be named The town of good faith; and the mountain of the Lord of armies The holy mountain.
4 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: еще сядут старцы и старицы на путех Иерусалимских, кийждо жезл свой имый в руце своей от множества дний:
This is what the Lord of armies has said: There will again be old men and old women seated in the open spaces of Jerusalem, every man with his stick in his hand because he is so old.
5 и путие града исполнятся отрочищ и отроковиц играющих на путех его.
And the open spaces of the town will be full of boys and girls playing in its open spaces.
6 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: аще изнеможет пред останком людий сих во онех днех, еда и предо Мною изнеможет? Глаголет Господь Вседержитель.
This is what the Lord of armies has said: If this is a wonder to the rest of this people, is it a wonder to me? says the Lord of armies.
7 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: се, Аз спасу люди Моя от земли восточныя и от земли западныя
This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will be the saviour of my people from the east country, and from the west country;
8 и введу их (в землю их), и вселюся посреде Иерусалима, и будут Ми в люди, и Аз буду им в Бога во истине и в правде.
And I will make them come and be living in Jerusalem and they will be to me a people and I will be to them a God, in good faith and in righteousness.
9 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: да укрепятся руце вас слышащих во днех сих словеса сия от уст пророческих, от негоже дне основася храм Господа Вседержителя, и церковь отнележе создася.
This is what the Lord of armies has said: Let your hands be strong, you who are now hearing these words from the mouths of the prophets, that is to say, in the days when the base of the house of the Lord of armies has been put in place for the building of the house, that is the Temple.
10 Зане прежде дний онех мзда человеком не бе во успех, и мзда скотом не бяше, и исходящему и входящему не бе мира от печали, и послю вся человеки коегождо на искренняго своего.
For before those days there was no payment for a man's work, or for the use of a beast, and there was no peace for him who went out or him who came in, because of the attacker: for I had every man turned against his neighbour.
11 И ныне не по днем онем прежним Аз сотворю останку людий сих, глаголет Господь Вседержитель,
But now I will not be to the rest of this people as I was in the past, says the Lord of armies.
12 но покажу мир: виноград даст плод свой, и земля даст жита своя, и небо даст росу свою, и наследити сотворю останком людий Моих сих вся сия.
For I will let the seed of peace be planted; the vine will give her fruit and the land will give her increase and the heavens will give their dew; and I will give to the rest of this people all these things for their heritage.
13 И будет, яко бесте в клятве во языцех, доме Иудов и доме Израилев, тако спасу вы, и будете в благословении: дерзайте и укрепляйтеся руками вашими.
And it will come about that, as you were a curse among the nations, O children of Judah and children of Israel, so I will give you salvation and you will be a blessing: have no fear and let your hands be strong.
14 Зане сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: якоже помыслих озлобити вы, внегда прогневаша Мя отцы ваши, глаголет Господь Вседержитель, и не раскаяхся:
For this is what the Lord of armies has said: As it was my purpose to do evil to you when your fathers made me angry, says the Lord of armies, and my purpose was not changed:
15 тако уставих и умыслих во дни сия добро сотворити Иерусалиму и дому Иудову: дерзайте.
So in these days it is again my purpose to do good to Jerusalem and to the children of Judah: have no fear.
16 Сия словеса, яже сотворите: глаголите истину кийждо искреннему своему, истину и суд мирен судите во вратех ваших,
These are the things which you are to do: Let every man say what is true to his neighbour; and let your judging give peace in your towns.
17 и кийждо злобы искренняго своего не помышляйте в сердцах ваших, и клятвы лживыя не любите, зане вся сия возненавидех, глаголет Господь Вседержитель.
Let no one have any evil thought in his heart against his neighbour; and have no love for false oaths: for all these things are hated by me, says the Lord.
18 И бысть слово Господа Вседержителя ко мне глаголя:
And the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying,
19 сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: пост четвертый и пост пятый, и пост седмый и пост десятый будут дому Иудову в радость и в веселие и в праздники благи: и возвеселитеся и истину и мир возлюбите.
This is what the Lord of armies has said: The times of going without food in the fourth month and in the fifth and the seventh and the tenth months, will be for the people of Judah times of joy and happy meetings; so be lovers of good faith and of peace.
20 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: еще людие мнози приидут и живущии во градех многих:
This is what the Lord of armies has said: It will again come about that when peoples and those living in great towns come,
21 и снидутся живущии во пяти градех во един град, глаголюще: грядим помолитися лицу Господню и взыскати лице Господа Вседержителя: иду и аз.
And the people of one town go to another and say, Let us certainly go with a request for grace from the Lord, and to give worship to the Lord of armies, then I will go with you.
22 И приидут людие мнози и языцы мнози взыскати лица Господа Вседержителя во Иерусалиме и умолити лице Господне.
And great peoples and strong nations will come to give worship to the Lord of armies in Jerusalem and to make requests for grace from the Lord.
23 Сице глаголет Господь Вседержитель: во оны дни имется десять мужей от всех племен языческих, и имутся за ризу мужа Иудеанина, глаголюще: пойдем с тобою, зане слышахом, яко Бог с вами есть.
This is what the Lord of armies has said: In those days, ten men from all the languages of the nations will put out their hands and take a grip of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for it has come to our ears that God is with you.
