Книга пророка Осии 7
1 Егда изцелю Израиля, и открыется неправда Ефремова и злоба Самарийска, яко соделаша лжу: и тать к нему внидет, совлачаяй разбойник на пути его:
“When I give healing to Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have worked falsehood, And a thief comes in, A troop has stripped off in the street,
2 яко да воспоют вкупе, аки поющии сердцем своим. Вся злобы их помянух: ныне обыдоша их совети их, противу лицу Ми быша.
And they do not say to their heart, [That] I have remembered all their evil, Now their doings have surrounded them, They have been before My face.
3 Злобами своими возвеселиша царя и лжами своими князей.
With their wickedness they make a king glad, And with their lies—princes.
4 Вси любодеющии, яко пещь жегома на печение сожжения от пламене, от примешения тука, дондеже вскиснет то все.
All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceases from stirring up after kneading the dough, until its leavening.
5 Во дни царей ваших начаша князи яритися от вина, простроша руки своя с губительми:
A day of our king! Princes have defiled themselves [with] the poison of wine, He has drawn out his hand with scorners.
6 зане разгорешася яко пещь сердца их, внегда устремлятися им: всю нощь сна Ефрем насытися, заутра бысть, и разгореся яко пламень огненный.
For they have drawn near, Their heart [is] as an oven In their lying in wait—their baker sleeps all night, Morning! He is burning as a flaming fire.
7 Вси согреяшася, яко пещь жегома, и огнь пояде судий их: вси царие их падоша, не бе в них моляйся ко Мне.
All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling to Me among them.
8 Ефрем в людех своих сам смесяшеся, Ефрем бысть опреснок необращаемь.
Ephraim! He mixes himself among peoples, Ephraim has been an unturned cake.
9 И снедоша чуждии крепость его, сей же не разуме: и седины явишася на нем, он же не позна.
Strangers have devoured his power, And he has not known, Also old age has sprinkled [itself] on him, And he has not known.
10 И смирится укоризна Израилева в лице ему: и не возвратишася ко Господу Богу своему и не взыскаша Его во всех сих.
And the excellence of Israel has been humbled to his face, And they have not turned back to their God YHWH, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
11 И бяше Ефрем яко голубь безумный, не имый сердца: Египта моляше, и во Ассирианы отидоша.
And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on—[to] Asshur they have gone.
12 Якоже идут, возложу на ня мрежу Мою, якоже птицы небесныя свергу я, накажу я в слух скорбения их.
When they go I spread over them My net, As the bird of the heavens I bring them down, I discipline them as their congregation has heard.
13 Горе им, яко отскочиша от Мене: боязливи суть, яко нечествоваша ко Мне: Аз же избавих я, сии же возглаголаша на Мя лжу.
Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,
14 И не возопиша ко Мне сердца их, но плакахуся на ложах своих: о пшенице и вине сечахуся.
And have not cried to Me with their heart, but howl on their beds; They assemble themselves for grain and new wine, They turn aside against Me.
15 Накажутся Мною, Аз же укрепих мышцу их, и на Мя помыслиша злая.
And I instructed—I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
16 Совратишася ни во чтоже, быша яко лук напряжен: падутся князи их мечем ради ненаказания языка своего. Сие ругание их в земли Египетстей.
They turn back—not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Their princes fall by sword, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!”
