Книга пророка Аввакума 1
1 Видение, еже виде Аввакум пророк.
The message that Habakkuk the prophet received,
2 Доколе, Господи, воззову, и не услышиши? Возопию к Тебе обидимь, и не избавиши?
“Yahweh, how long will I cry for help, and you will not hear? I cry out to you, 'Violence!' but you will not save.
3 Вскую мне показал еси труды и болезни, смотрити страсть и нечестие? Противу мне бысть суд, и судия вземлет.
Why do you make me see iniquity and look upon wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and contention rises up.
4 Сего ради разорися закон, и не производится в совершение суд: яко нечестивый преобидит праведнаго, сего ради изыдет суд развращен.
Therefore the law is weakened, and justice does not last for any time. For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore false justice goes out.”
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.
“Look at the nations and examine them; be amazed and astonished! For I am surely about to do something in your days that you will not believe when it is reported to you.
6 Зане, се, Аз возставляю Халдеи, язык горький и борзый, ходящий по широтам земли, еже наследити селения не своя:
For look! I am about to raise up the Chaldeans—that fierce and impetuous nation— they are marching throughout the breadth of the land to seize homes that were not their own.
7 страшен и явлен есть, от него суд его будет, и взятие его от него изыдет:
They are terrifying and fearsome; their judgment and splendor proceed from themselves.
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.
Their horses also are swifter than leopards, quicker than the evening wolves. So their horses stamp, and their horsemen come from a great distance—they fly like an eagle hurrying to eat.
9 Скончание на нечестивыя приидет, сопротивляющыяся лицам их противу, и соберет яко песок пленники.
They all come for violence; their multitudes go like the desert wind, and they gather captives like sand.
10 И той над царьми посмеется, и мучителие играние его, и той над всякою тверделию поругается, и обложит вал, и возобладает ею.
So they mock kings, and rulers are only a mockery for them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they heap up earth and take them.
11 Тогда пременит дух и прейдет и помолится: сия крепость богу моему.
Then the wind will rush on; it will move past—guilty men, those whose might is their 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.
“Are you not from ancient times, Yahweh my God, my Holy One? We will not die. Yahweh has ordained them for judgment, and you, Rock, have established them for correction.
13 Чисто око еже не видети зла и взирати на труды болезненныя: вскую призираеши на презорливыя? Премолчаваеши, егда пожирает нечестивый праведнаго?
Your eyes are too pure to gaze upon evil, and you are not able to look on wrongdoing with favor; why then have you looked favorably on those who betray? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than they are?
14 И сотвориши человеки яко рыбы морския и яко гады не имущыя старейшины.
You make men like fish in the sea, like creeping things without a ruler over them.
15 Скончание удою восхити и привлече его мрежею и собра его сетьми своими: сего ради возвеселится и возрадуется сердце его:
He brings all of them up with a fishhook; he drags men away in his fishnet; he gathers them together in his dragnet; so he rejoices and he is glad.
16 сего ради пожрет мрежи своей и покадит сеть свою, яко теми разблажи часть свою и пищи своя избранныя:
Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his dragnet, for by his net he lives in luxury, and his food is the richest kind.
17 сего ради прострет мрежу свою и присно избивати языков не пощадит.
Will he therefore keep emptying his net, and will he continually slaughter the nations without mercy?”
