< Isaiah 47 >

1 Descend, sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon! Sit on the ground. There is no throne for the daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer be called delicate and tender.
Сниди, сяди на земли, дево, дщи Вавилоня, вниди во тму, дщи Халдейска, яко не приложиши ксему прозыватися мягка и юна.
2 Take a millstone and grind meal. Uncover your shame, bare your shoulder, reveal your legs, cross the streams.
Возми жерновы, мели муку, открый покрывало твое, открый седины, возсучи голени, прейди реки:
3 Your disgrace will be revealed, and your shame will be seen. I will seize vengeance, and no man will withstand me.
открыется студ твой, явятся укоризны твоя, праведное от тебе возму, ктому не предам человеком.
4 Our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Рече Избавивый тя Господь Саваоф, имя Ему Святый Израилев:
5 Sit in silence, and enter into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no longer be called the noblewoman of kingdoms.
сяди умилена, вниди во тму, дщи Халдейска, ксему не прозовешися крепость царства.
6 I was angry with my people. I have polluted my inheritance, and I have given them into your hand. You have not shown mercy to them. You have greatly increased the burden of your yoke upon the elders.
Разгневахся на люди Моя, осквернила еси наследие Мое: Аз вдах я в руку твою, ты же не дала им милости, старчий ярем отягчила еси зело
7 And you have said: “I will be a noblewoman forever.” You have not set these things upon your heart, and you have not remembered your end.
и рекла еси: в век буду владычица: не помыслила еси сих в сердцы твоем, ниже помянула еси последних:
8 And now, hear these things, you who are delicate and have confidence, who say in your heart: “I am, and there is no one greater than me. I will not sit as a widow, and I will not know barrenness.”
ныне же слыши сие, юная, седящая, уповающая, глаголющая в сердцы своем: аз есмь, и несть иныя, не сяду вдовою и не познаю сиротства.
9 These two things will suddenly overwhelm you in one day: barrenness and widowhood. All things shall overwhelm you, because of the multitude of your sorceries and because of the great cruelty of your enchantments.
Ныне же приидут на тя два сия внезапу во един день, безчадие и вдовство внезапу приидет на тя, в волшебстве твоем и в крепости волхвов твоих зело,
10 And you have trusted in your malice, and you have said: “There is no one who sees me.” Your wisdom and your knowledge, these have deceived you. And you have said in your heart: “I am, and beside me there is no other.”
в надеянии злобы твоея: ты бо рекла еси: аз есмь, и несть иныя: увеждь, яко смышление сих и блужение твое будет тебе срам: и рекла еси сердцем своим: аз есмь, и несть иныя.
11 Evil will overwhelm you, and you will not notice its rising. And calamity will fall violently over you, and you will not be able to avert it. You will suddenly be overwhelmed by a misery such as you have never known.
И приидет на тя пагуба, и не увеси, пропасть, и впадеши в ню: и приидет на тя печаль, и не возможеши чиста быти: и приидет на тя внезапу пагуба, и не увеси.
12 Stand with your incantations, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if somehow it might benefit you, or as if it were able to make you stronger.
Стани ныне с волхвы твоими и со многими чары твоими, имже научилася еси из юности твоея, аще возмогут ти помощи.
13 You have failed in the multitude of your plans! Let the seers stand and save you, those who were contemplating the stars, and figuring the months, so that from these they might announce to you the things to come.
Утрудилася еси в советех твоих: да станут ныне и спасут тя звездочетцы небесе, смотряющии звезд, да возвестят ти, что имать на тя приити.
14 Behold, they have become like stubble. Fire has consumed them. They will not free themselves from the power of the flames. These are not coals by which they may be warmed, nor is this a fire which they may sit beside.
Се, вси яко хврастие огнем погорят и не изимут души своея из пламене, понеже имаши углие огненное, сяди на них.
15 So have all these things, in which you have labored, become to you. Your merchants from your youth, each one has erred in his own way. There is no one who can save you.
Сии будут тебе помощь: трудилася еси в преложении от юности, человек сам в себе прельстися, тебе не не будет спасения.
