Книга пророка Исаии 28

1 Горе венцу гордыни, наимницы Ефремовы, цвет отпадый от славы, на версе горы тучныя пиянии без вина.

Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower the glory of his joy, who were on the head of the fat valley, staggering with wine.

2 Се, крепка и жестока ярость Господня, аки град низпущаемый не имый крова, насильно низпущаемый: якоже воды многое множество влекущее страну, земли сотворит покой рукама,

Behold the Lord is mighty and strong, as a storm of hail: a destroying whirlwind, as the violence of many waters overflowing, and sent forth upon a spacious land.

3 и ногама поперется венец гордыни, наимницы Ефремовы.

The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet.

4 И будет цвет отпадый от надежды славы на версе горы высокия, аки ранний плод смоквин: видевый его, прежде взятия в руце свои, восхощет поглотити его.

And the fading flower the glory of his joy, who is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as a hasty fruit before the ripeness of autumn: which when he that seeth it shall behold, as soon as he taketh it in his hand, he will eat it up.

5 В той день будет Господь Саваоф венец надежди, сплетеный славою оставшымся людем.

In that day the Lord of hosts shall be a crown of glory, and a garland of joy to the residue of his people:

6 И оставятся духом судным на суд, и крепость возбраняющих погубляти.

And a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that return out of the battle to the gate.

7 Сии бо вином суть прельщени: прельстишася сикеры ради, жрец и пророк изступиша ума от сикеры, пожерты быша вином, потрясошася от пиянства сикеры, прельстишася: сие есть привидение.

But these also have been ignorant through wine, and through drunkenness have erred: the priest and the prophet have been ignorant through drunkenness, they are swallowed up with wine, they have gone astray in drunkenness, they have not known him that seeth, they have been ignorant of judgment.

8 Проклятие пояст сей совет, сей бо совет ради лихоимства.

For all tables were full of vomit and filth, so that there was no more place.

9 Кому возвестихом злая и кому поведахом весть? Иже отдоении (суть) от млека, отторженнии от сосца.

Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the hearing? them that are weaned from the milk, that are drawn away from the breasts.

10 Печали на печаль ожидай, надежды к надежди, еще мало, еще мало,

For command, command again; command, command again; expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there.

11 яко худостию устен, языком иным возглаголют людем сим, рекуще им:

For with the speech of lips, and with another tongue he will speak to this people.

12 сей покой алчному и сие сокрушение, и не восхотеша слышати.

To whom he said: This is my rest, refresh the weary, and this is my refreshing: and they would not hear.

13 И будет им слово Господа Бога, печаль к печали, надежда к надежди, еще мало, еще мало, да идут и падутся вспять и в беду впадут, и сокрушатся и пленени будут.

And the word of the Lord shall be to them: Command, command again; command, command again: expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there: that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

14 Сего ради услышите слово Господне, мужие озлобленнии и князи людий сущих во Иерусалиме.

Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, who rule over my people that is in Jerusalem.

15 Яко рекосте: сотворихом завет со адом и со смертию сложение: буря носима аще мимоидет, не приидет на нас: положихом лжу надежду нашу и лжею покрыемся. (Sheol h7585)

For you have said: We have entered into a league with death, and we have made a covenant with hell. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come upon us: for we have placed our hope in lies, and by falsehood we are protected. (Sheol h7585)

16 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз полагаю во основание Сиону камень многоценен, избран, краеуголен, честен, во основание ему, и веруяй в онь не постыдится:

Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will lay a stone in the foundations of Sion, a tried stone, a corner stone, a precious stone, founded in the foundation. He that believeth, let him not hasten.

17 и положу суд в надежду, милость же моя на мерилех, и уповавшии вотще на лжу, яко не минет вас буря:

And I will set judgment in weight, and justice in measure: and hail shall overturn the hope of falsehood: and waters shall overflow its protection.

18 и не отимет от вас завета смертнаго, и надежда ваша, яже ко аду, не пребудет. Буря идущая аще найдет, будете ей в попрание: (Sheol h7585)

And Sour league with death shall be abolished, and your covenant with hell shall not stand: when the overflowing scourge shall pass, you shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol h7585)

19 егда мимоидет, возмет вас: яко по всяко утро преходити будет в день, и в нощи будет надежда зла. Научитеся слышати, утесняемии:

Whensoever it shall pass through, it shall take you away: because in the morning early it shall pass through, in the day and in the night, and vexation alone shall make you understand what you hear.

20 не можем ратовати, сами же изнемогаем, еже собратися нам.

For the bed is straitened, so that one must fall out, and a short covering cannot cover both.

21 Якоже гора на нечестивых востанет Господь, и будет (якоже) в дебри Гаваонстей, с яростию сотворит дела Своя, горести дело: ярость же Его чуждо употребится, и погубление Его странно.

For the Lord shall stand up as in the mountain of divisions: he shall be angry as in the valley which is in Gabaon: that he may do his work, his strange work: that he may perform his work, his work is strange to him.

22 И вы не радуйтеся, ниже да возмогут ваши узы: зане скончаны и сокращены вещи слышах от Господа Саваофа, яже сотворит над всею землею.

And now do not mock, lest your bonds be tied strait. For I have heard of the Lord the God of hosts a consumption and a cutting short upon all the earth.

23 Внушите и слышите глас мой, внемлите и слышите словеса моя.

Give ear, and hear my voice, hearken, and hear my speech.

24 Еда весь день будет оряй орати? Или семя уготовит прежде возделания земли?

Shall the ploughman plough all the day to sow, shall he open and harrow his ground?

25 Не егда ли умягчит лице ея, тогда всеет мало чернухи и кимина, потом же сеет пшеницу и ячмень и просо в пределех твоих?

Will he not, when he hath made plain the surface thereof, sow gith, and scatter cummin, and put wheat in order, and barley, and millet, and vetches in their bounds?

26 И научишися суду Бога твоего и возрадуешися.

For he will instruct him in judgment: his God will teach him.

27 Ибо не с жестокостию очищается чернуха, ниже коло колесничное обыдет кимина, но жезлом истрясается чернуха, кимин же со хлебом снестся.

For gith shall not be thrashed with saws, neither shall the cart wheel turn about upon cummin: but gith shall be beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a staff.

28 Не во век бо Аз разгневаюся на вы, ниже глас гнева Моего поперет вас.

But bread corn shall be broken small: but the thrasher shall not thrash it for ever, neither shall the cart wheel hurt it, nor break it with its teeth.

29 И сия от Господа Саваофа изыдоша чудеса: советуйте, вознесите тщетное утешение.

This also is come forth from the Lord God of hosts, to make his counsel wonderful, and magnify justice.
