Nahum 3
1 Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and rapine. The prey departs not.
О, граде кровей, весь лживый, полн неправды! Не осяжется ловитва.
2 The noise of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of wheels, and prancing horses, and bounding chariots,
Глас бичей и глас труса колес, и коня текуща и колесницы шумящия,
3 the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, and the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies. They stumble upon their bodies,
и конника едуща, и блистающа меча и блистающих оружий, и множества язвеных и тяжкаго падения, и не бяше конца языком ея: и изнемогут в телесех своих от множества блужения.
4 because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, who sells nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
Блудница добра и приятна, началница волхвований, продающая языки во блужении своем и племена в чародеяниих своих.
5 Behold, I am against thee, says Jehovah of hosts, and I will uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
Се, Аз на тя, глаголет Господь Бог Вседержитель, и открыю задняя твоя к лицу твоему, и покажу языком срамоту твою и царствам безчестие твое,
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing-stock.
и возвергу на тя огнушение по нечистотам твоим, и положу тя в притчу.
7 And it shall come to pass, that all those who look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste. Who will bemoan her? From where shall I seek comforters for thee?
И будет, всяк видяй тя снидет с тебе и речет: окаянная Ниневиа, кто постенет по ней? Откуду взыщу утешение ей?
8 Are thou better than No-amon, that was situated among the rivers, that had the waters round about her, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea?
Уготовити часть, устроити струну, уготовити часть Аммону, живущая в реках, вода окрест ея, ейже начало море, и вода забрала ея:
9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite. Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
и Ефиопиа крепость ея и Египет, и несть конца бегству твоему: и Фуд и Ливиане быша помощницы ея.
10 Yet she was carried away. She went into captivity. Her young sons also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets. And they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
И сия в преселение пойдет пленница, и младенцы ея разбиют в началех всех путий ея, и о всех славных ея вергут жребия, и вси воеводы ея свяжутся путы.
11 Thou also shall be drunken. Thou shall be hid. Thou also shall seek a stronghold because of the enemy.
И ты упиешися и будеши презрена, и ты сама себе взыщеши помощи от враг.
12 All thy fortresses shall be like fig trees with the first ripe figs. If they be shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.
Вся твердели твоя яко смоквичие стражу имущее: аще поколеблются, впадут во уста ядущаго.
13 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women. The gates of thy land are set wide open to thine enemies. The fire has devoured thy bars.
Се, людие твои, яко жены в тебе: врагом твоим отворяема отворятся врата земли твоея, и пояст огнь вереи твоя.
14 Draw thee water for the siege. Strengthen thy fortresses. Go into the clay, and tread the mortar. Make strong the brick kiln.
Воду одержания восхити себе сама и утверди твердели твоя: влези в брение и поперися в плевах, утверди паче плинфа.
15 There the fire shall devour thee. The sword shall cut thee off. It shall devour thee like the canker-worm. Make thyself many as the canker-worm. Make thyself many as the locust.
Тамо пояст тя огнь, потребит тя мечь, поядят тя аки прузи, и отягчаеши аки мшица.
16 Thou have multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven. The canker-worm ravages, and flees away.
Умножила еси купли твоя паче звезд небесных: мшицы устремишася и возлетеша.
17 Thy rulers are as the locusts, and thy marshals as the swarms of grasshoppers, which encamp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
Возскочи аки пруг смесник твой, аки акрида восходящая на ограду в день студеный: солнце взыде, и отлете, и не познася место ея: люте им!
18 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria. Thy nobles are at rest. Thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and there is none to gather them.
Воздремашася пастуси твои, царь Ассирийск успи сильныя твоя, воздвигошася людие твои на горы, и не бяше приемлющаго.
19 There is no assuaging of thy hurt. Thy wound is grievous. All who hear the report of thee clap their hands over thee, for upon whom has not thy wickedness passed continually?
Несть цельбы сокрушению твоему, разгореся язва твоя: вси слышащии весть твою восплещут руками о тебе: понеже на кого не найде злоба твоя всегда?
