Книга Иова 20
1 Отвещав же Софар Минейский, рече:
Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,
2 не тако мнех сия тебе рещи противу, и не разумеете паче нежели и аз.
"Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of my haste that is in me.
3 Наказание срамления моего услышу, и дух от разума отвещавает ми.
I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.
4 Еда сих не уразумел еси от века, отнележе положен человек бысть на земли?
Do you not know this from old time, since humankind was placed on earth,
5 Веселие бо нечестивых падение страшно, обрадование же беззаконных пагуба.
that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 Аще взыдут на небо дары его, жертва же его облаков коснется:
Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,
7 егда бо мнится уже утвержден быти, тогда в конец погибнет. Видевшии же его рекут: где есть?
yet he shall perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him shall say, 'Where is he?'
8 Якоже сон отлетевый не обрящется, отлете же аки мечтание нощное.
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found. Yes, he shall be chased away like a vision of the night.
9 Око призре, и не приложит, и ктому не познает его место его.
The eye which saw him shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more see him.
10 Сынов его да погубят меншии, и руце его возжгут болезни.
His children shall seek the favor of the poor. His hands shall give back his wealth.
11 Кости его наполнишася грехов юности его и с ним на персти уснут.
His bones are full of his youth, but youth shall lie down with him in the dust.
12 Аще усладится во устех его злоба, скрыет ю под языком своим:
"Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,
13 не пощадит ея, и не оставит ея, и соберет ю посреде гортани своего,
though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;
14 и не возможет помощи себе: желчь аспидов во чреве его.
yet his food in his bowels is turned. It is cobra venom within him.
15 Богатство неправедно собираемо изблюется, из храмины его извлечет его Ангел.
He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again. God will cast them out of his belly.
16 Ярость же змиеву да ссет, да убиет же его язык змиин.
He shall suck cobra venom. The viper's tongue shall kill him.
17 Да не узрит отдоения скотов, ниже прибытка меда и масла кравия.
He shall not look at the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.
18 Вотще и всуе трудися, богатство, от негоже не вкусит, якоже клоки не сожваемы и не поглощаемы.
That for which he labored he shall restore, and shall not swallow it down. According to the substance that he has gotten, he shall not rejoice.
19 Многих бо немощных домы сокруши, жилище же разграби и не постави.
For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.
20 Несть спасения имению его, в вожделении своем не спасется.
"Because he knew no quietness within him, he shall not save anything of that in which he delights.
21 Несть останка брашну его, сего ради не процветут ему благая.
There was nothing left that he did not devour, therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
22 Егда же мнит уже исполнь быти, оскорбится, всяка же беда нань приидет.
In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress shall overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery shall come on him.
23 Аще како либо исполнит чрево свое, напустит нань ярость гнева, одождит на него болезни:
When he is about to fill his belly, he will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.
24 и не спасется от руки железа, да устрелит его лук медян,
He shall flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow shall strike him through.
25 и да пройдет сквозе тело его стрела: звезды же в жилищих его: да приидут нань страси,
He draws it forth, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on him.
26 и всяка тма на нем да пребудет: да пояст его огнь нераздеженый, да озлобит же пришлец дом его:
All darkness is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire shall devour him. It shall consume that which is left in his tent.
27 и да открыет небо беззакония его, и земля да востанет нань:
The heavens shall reveal his iniquity. The earth shall rise up against him.
28 да извлечет дом его пагуба до конца, день гнева да приидет нань.
The increase of his house shall depart. They shall rush away in the day of his wrath.
29 Сия часть человека нечестиваго от Господа и стяжание имений его от Надзирателя.
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God."
