Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and pursueth the east wind; the whole day he increaseth deceit and corruption; and a covenant do they make with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
Ефрем же зол дух, гоняше зной весь день: тщетная и суетная умножи, и завет со Ассирианы завеща, и елей во Египет посылаше.
2 But with Judah also hath the Lord [to hold] a controversy; and to punish Jacob according to his ways, according to his doings will he recompense him.
И суд Господеви ко Иуде, еже отмстити Иакова: по путем его и по начинанием его воздаст ему.
3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and in his strength he strove with an angel.
Во утробе запя брата своего и труды своими укрепе к Богу:
4 Yea, he strove with an angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him: in Beth-el he should find him, and there he will speak with us.
и укрепе со Ангелом и превозможе. Плакашася и молишася ми: в дому Онове обретоша мя, и ту глаголася к ним.
5 And the Lord God of hosts, the Eternal One is his memorial.
Господь же Бог Вседержитель будет память Его.
6 Therefore do thou return to thy God: keep goodness and justice, and wait on thy God continually.
И ты о Бозе своем обратишися, милость и суд снабди, и приближайся к Богу своему присно.
7 But like a merchant, who hath the balances of deceit in his hand, loving to overreach,
Ханаан, в руце его мерило неправды, насильствовати возлюби.
8 Did Ephraim say, I am certainly become rich, I have acquired substance unto myself: it is all through my labors; they will find no iniquity in me, that could be sin.
И рече Ефрем: обаче обогатех, обретох прохлаждение себе: вси труды его не обрящутся ему ради неправд, имиже согреши.
9 And I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: I will yet make thee dwell in tents, as in the days of antiquity.
Аз же Господь Бог твой, изведох тя из земли Египетски: еще вселю тя в кущах, якоже во дни праздника.
10 And I have spoken through the prophets, and I myself have multiplied visions, and by the means of the prophets have I spoken in similitudes.
И глаголах ко пророком, и аз видения умножих, и в руках пророческих уподобихся.
11 If in Gil'ad there was misfortune, [it is because] there was naught but idolatry; in Gilgal they sacrificed bullocks [to idols]: their altars also are as stone-heaps on the furrows of the fields.
Аще не Галаад есть, убо ложни быша во Галгалех князи требы кладуще, и требища их якоже желви на целизне польстей.
12 And Jacob fled into the fields of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [the flocks].
И отиде Иаков на поле Сирийско, и работа Израиль о жене и о жене снабде.
13 And by a prophet did the Lord bring Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he guarded.
И пророком изведе Господь Израиля из земли Египетския, и пророком снабдеся.
14 [Yet] Ephraim provoked [him] to anger most bitterly: therefore will his Lord cast his blood-guiltiness upon him, and his reproach will he recompense unto him.
Разгнева Мя Ефрем и возяри Мя: и кровь его на нем пролиется, и укоризну его воздаст ему Господь.
