Книга пророка Аввакума 1
1 Видение, еже виде Аввакум пророк.
The burden which the prophet Ambacum saw.
2 Доколе, Господи, воззову, и не услышиши? Возопию к Тебе обидимь, и не избавиши?
How long, O Lord, shall I cry out, and thou wilt not hearken? [how long] shall I cry out to thee being injured, and thou wilt not save?
3 Вскую мне показал еси труды и болезни, смотрити страсть и нечестие? Противу мне бысть суд, и судия вземлет.
Wherefore hast thou shown me troubles and griefs to look upon, misery and ungodliness? judgment is before me, and the judge receives a reward.
4 Сего ради разорися закон, и не производится в совершение суд: яко нечестивый преобидит праведнаго, сего ради изыдет суд развращен.
Therefore the law is frustrated, and judgment proceeds not effectually, for the ungodly [man] prevails over the just; therefore perverse judgment will proceed.
5 Видите, презорливии, и смотрите, и чудитеся чудесем и изчезните: понеже дело Аз делаю во днех ваших, емуже не имате веровати, аще кто исповесть вам.
Behold, ye despisers, and look, and wonder marvelously, and vanish: for I work a work in your days, which ye will in no wise believe, though a man declare [it to you].
6 Зане, се, Аз возставляю Халдеи, язык горький и борзый, ходящий по широтам земли, еже наследити селения не своя:
Wherefore, behold, I stir up the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, that walks upon the breadth of the earth, to inherit tabernacles not his own.
7 страшен и явлен есть, от него суд его будет, и взятие его от него изыдет:
He is terrible and famous; his judgment shall proceed of himself, and his dignity shall come out of himself.
8 и изскочат паче рысей кони его и быстрее волков аравийских, и поедут конницы его и устремятся издалеча и полетят аки орел готов на ядь.
And his horses shall bound [more swiftly] than leopards, and [they are] fiercer than the wolves of Arabia: and his horsemen shall ride forth, and shall rush from far; and they shall fly as an eagle hasting to eat.
9 Скончание на нечестивыя приидет, сопротивляющыяся лицам их противу, и соберет яко песок пленники.
Destruction shall come upon ungodly men, resisting with their adverse front, and he shall gather the captivity as the sand.
10 И той над царьми посмеется, и мучителие играние его, и той над всякою тверделию поругается, и обложит вал, и возобладает ею.
And he shall be at his ease with kings, and princes are his toys, and he shall mock at every strong-hold, and shall cast a mound, and take possession of it.
11 Тогда пременит дух и прейдет и помолится: сия крепость богу моему.
Then shall he change his spirit, and he shall pass through, and make an atonement, [saying], This strength [belongs] to my god.
12 Неси ли Ты искони, Господи Боже, Святый мой? И не умрем. Господи, на суд учинил еси его, и созда мя обличати наказание его.
[Art] not thou from the beginning, O Lord God, my Holy One? and surely we shall not die. O Lord, thou hast established it for judgment, and he has formed me to chasten [with] his correction.
13 Чисто око еже не видети зла и взирати на труды болезненныя: вскую призираеши на презорливыя? Премолчаваеши, егда пожирает нечестивый праведнаго?
[His] eye is too pure to behold evil [doings], and to look upon grievous afflictions: wherefore dost thou look upon despisers? wilt thou be silent when the ungodly swallows up the just?
14 И сотвориши человеки яко рыбы морския и яко гады не имущыя старейшины.
And wilt thou make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the reptiles which have no guide?
15 Скончание удою восхити и привлече его мрежею и собра его сетьми своими: сего ради возвеселится и возрадуется сердце его:
He has brought up destruction with a hook, and drawn one with a casting net, and caught another in his drags: therefore shall his heart rejoice and be glad.
16 сего ради пожрет мрежи своей и покадит сеть свою, яко теми разблажи часть свою и пищи своя избранныя:
Therefore will he sacrifice to his drag, and burn incense to his casting-net, because by them he has made his portion fat, and his meats choice.
17 сего ради прострет мрежу свою и присно избивати языков не пощадит.
Therefore will he cast his net, and will not spare to slay the nations continually.
