Книга пророка Исаии 34
1 Приступите, языцы, и услышите, князи: да слышит земля и живущии на ней, вселенная и людие, иже на ней.
Come near, you nations, to hear! Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear, the world, and everything that comes from it.
2 Зане ярость Господня на вся языки и гнев на число их, еже погубити их и предати я на заклание.
For the LORD is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter.
3 И язвении их повергнутся и мертвецы, и взыдет их смрад, и намокнут горы кровию их:
Their slain will also be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies will come up. The mountains will melt in their blood.
4 и истают вся силы небесныя, и свиется небо аки свиток, и вся звезды спадут яко листвие с лозы, и якоже спадает листвие смоковницы.
All of the army of the sky will be dissolved. The sky will be rolled up like a scroll, and all its armies will fade away, as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.
5 Упися мечь Мой на небеси: се, на Идумею снидет и на люди пагубныя с судом.
For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky. Behold, it will come down on Edom, and on the people of my curse, for judgement.
6 Мечь Господень наполнися крове, растолсте туком, от крове козлов и агнцев и от тука козлов и овнов: яко жертва Господеви в Восоре, и заклание велие во Идумеи.
The LORD’s sword is filled with blood. It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 И падут с ними сильнии, и овны и юнцы, и упиется земля от крове и от тука их насытится:
The wild oxen will come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty bulls; and their land will be drunken with blood, and their dust made greasy with fat.
8 день бо суда Господня, и лето воздаяния суда Сионя.
For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 И обратятся дебри его в смолу, и земля его в жупел,
Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into sulphur, and its land will become burning pitch.
10 и будет земля его горящи яко смола днем и нощию, и не угаснет в вечное время, и взыдет дым ея высоце, в роды своя опустеет.
It won’t be quenched night or day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.
11 И во время много птицы и ежеве, совы и вранове возгнездятся в нем: и возложат нань уже землемерно пустыни, и онокентаври вселятся в нем.
But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.
12 Князи его не будут: царие бо и вельможи его будут в пагубу.
They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 И возникнут во градех их терновая древеса и во твердынех его, и будут селения сирином и селища струфионом:
Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it will be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.
14 и срящутся беси со онокентавры и возопиют друг ко другу, ту почиют онокентаври, обретше себе покоища:
The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves, and the wild goat will cry to his fellow. Yes, the night creature shall settle there, and shall find herself a place of rest.
15 тамо возгнездится ежь, и сохранит земля дети его со утверждением: тамо елени сретошася и увидеша лица друг друга.
The arrow snake will make her nest there, and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade. Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
16 Числом преидоша, и един и них не погибе, друг друга не взыска, яко Господь заповеда им, и дух Его собра я.
Search in the book of the LORD, and read: not one of these will be missing. None will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 И Той вержет им жребия, и рука Его раздели пастися: в вечное время наследите, в роды родов почиют в нем.
He has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever. From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
