Переклад Куліша та Пулюя
Assyria Is God’s Instrument
Woe to those who enact evil statutes
And to those who constantly record unjust decisions,
Woe to those who enact evil statutes
And to those who constantly record unjust decisions,
Горе тим, що несправедливі надають закони та пишуть жорстокі засуди,
So as to deprive the needy of justice
And rob the poor of My people of their rights,
So that widows may be their spoil
And that they may plunder the orphans.
And rob the poor of My people of their rights,
So that widows may be their spoil
And that they may plunder the orphans.
Щоб відправляти вбогих без правого суду, й видирати права злиденним у мойму народї; щоб із удовицї, користь тягнути, й сиріт обдирати.
Now what will you do in the day of punishment,
And in the devastation which will come from afar?
To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you leave your wealth?
And in the devastation which will come from afar?
To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you leave your wealth?
Що ж ви будете чинити, як день навідання прийде, як погибель здалека надійде? Де захисту будете шукати, де подїнете скарби ваші?
Nothing remains but to crouch among the captives
Or fall among the slain.
In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away
And His hand is still stretched out.
Or fall among the slain.
In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away
And His hand is still stretched out.
Без мене згорбитесь в оковах, поляжете між убитими. Та й тодї ще не одвернесь гнїв його, й рука його все ще простягнута.
Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hands is My indignation,
And the staff in whose hands is My indignation,
О, Ассур — він палиця мого гнїву, а кий в руцї його — се моя досада!
I send it against a godless nation
And commission it against the people of My fury
To capture booty and to seize plunder,
And to trample them down like mud in the streets.
And commission it against the people of My fury
To capture booty and to seize plunder,
And to trample them down like mud in the streets.
Я пошлю його на народ сей безбожний, на той нарід, що підпалює гнїв мій, та дам йому приказ, ограбити його до нитки, здобувати здобич у його, та, мов грязюку на дорозї, його місити.
Yet it does not so intend,
Nor does it plan so in its heart,
But rather it is its purpose to destroy
And to cut off many nations.
Nor does it plan so in its heart,
But rather it is its purpose to destroy
And to cut off many nations.
Но він иншої про се гадки, не так помислить серце його: на думцї в його — вигубити й викоренити не трохи ще инших народів.
“Is not Calno like Carchemish,
Or Hamath like Arpad,
Or Samaria like Damascus?
Or Hamath like Arpad,
Or Samaria like Damascus?
Хиба Хальне не те, що й Кархемис? або Емат не те, що й Арпад? а Самария не те, що Дамаск?
“As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols,
Whose graven images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Whose graven images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Та же рука моя загорнула ті царства ідолські, а в них більше божищ, нїж у Ерусалимі та в Самариї!
Shall I not do to Jerusalem and her images
Just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
Just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
Хиба ж я не вчиню те саме з Ерусалимом і богами його, що вчинив із Самариєю й ідолами її?
So it will be that when the Lord has completed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the pomp of his haughtiness.”
Та станесь: як довершить Господь усе те на Сионї, що задумав, і все скінчить в Ерусалимі, тодї скаже: Навідаюсь тепер до справ надутого серця в царя Ассирийського та до гординї звисока глядючих очій його!
For he has said,
“By the power of my hand and by my wisdom I did this,
For I have understanding;
And I removed the boundaries of the peoples
And plundered their treasures,
And like a mighty man I brought down their inhabitants,
“By the power of my hand and by my wisdom I did this,
For I have understanding;
And I removed the boundaries of the peoples
And plundered their treasures,
And like a mighty man I brought down their inhabitants,
Він бо каже: Се силою руки моєї і моєю мудрістю я отте зробив, бо я розумний: я пересуваю гряницї в народів і розхапую скарби їх, та скидаю з престолів, неначе велет;
And my hand reached to the riches of the peoples like a nest,
And as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth;
And there was not one that flapped its wing or opened its beak or chirped.”
And as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth;
And there was not one that flapped its wing or opened its beak or chirped.”
І рука моя захопила, мов гнїзда, багацтва в народів, і як забірають покинуті в них яйця, так я побрав всї землї, а нїхто й крилом не рушив, не отворив рота й не писнув.
Is the axe to boast itself over the one who chops with it?
Is the saw to exalt itself over the one who wields it?
That would be like a club wielding those who lift it,
Or like a rod lifting him who is not wood.
Is the saw to exalt itself over the one who wields it?
That would be like a club wielding those who lift it,
Or like a rod lifting him who is not wood.
Та чи хвалиться ж сокира перед тим, що нею рубає? Хиба ж пила гордиться перед тим, хто її тягне? Як коли б палиця піднімалась на того, хто її піднімає; як коли б кий піднімався, коли він лиш деревина!
Therefore the Lord, the GOD of hosts, will send a wasting disease among his stout warriors;
And under his glory a fire will be kindled like a burning flame.
And under his glory a fire will be kindled like a burning flame.
За се пошле Господь, Господь сил, сухоти на товстих у його, а між знатними в його запалить полумє, мов полумє огня.
And the light of Israel will become a fire and his Holy One a flame,
And it will burn and devour his thorns and his briars in a single day.
And it will burn and devour his thorns and his briars in a single day.
Сьвітло Ізрайлеве спаде на його огнем, і Сьвятий його буде полумєм, що пожере тернину його й бодяки його одного дня.
And He will destroy the glory of his forest and of his fruitful garden, both soul and body,
And it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
And it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
І гай його й сад роскішній вигубить він із душею й тїлом, і стане він — умираючим чахотником;
And the rest of the trees of his forest will be so small in number
That a child could write them down.
That a child could write them down.
А останок дерев із його лїса так змалїє, що й дитина його списати зможе.
A Remnant Will Return
Now in that day the remnant of Israel, and those of the house of Jacob who have escaped, will never again rely on the one who struck them, but will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
І станесь того часу: останок Ізраїля й ті, що врятуються з дому Яковового, не будуть уже на силу того, хто їх бив, уповати, а покладати муть надїю щирим серцем на Бога, Сьвятого Ізрайлевого.
A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
Останок, останок з Якова, навернесь до Бога сильного.
For though your people, O Israel, may be like the sand of the sea,
Only a remnant within them will return;
A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.
Only a remnant within them will return;
A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.
Бо, хоч би в тебе, Ізраїлю, було стільки люду, як піску в морі, то тілько малий лишиться останок, що навернесь до Бога; се бо безмірна справедливість призначила таку погибель.
For a complete destruction, one that is decreed, the Lord GOD of hosts will execute in the midst of the whole land.
І призначену вигубу довершить Господь, Господь Саваот, по всїх країнах.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, “O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian who strikes you with the rod and lifts up his staff against you, the way Egypt did.
Та все ж таки говорить Господь, Господь сил: Народе мій, живучий в Сионї! не бійся Ассура. Він побє тебе палицею й тростину підніме на тебе, як чинив Египет:
“For in a very little while My indignation against you will be spent and My anger will be directed to their destruction.”
За малий час, за дуже малий — промине моя досада, а лютий гнїв мій звернесь на їх вигубу.
The LORD of hosts will arouse a scourge against him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and His staff will be over the sea and He will lift it up the way He did in Egypt.
І підніме Господь сил бич, як колись до побою Мадіяма на Ориві, або як простер був палицю понад море, й здійме її, як на Египтян.
So it will be in that day, that his burden will be removed from your shoulders and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be broken because of fatness.
І станесь того часу: здійметься з плечей у тебе тягар його, й ярмо його — з шиї твоєї, й розпадеться ярмо від товщі.
He has come against Aiath,
He has passed through Migron;
At Michmash he deposited his baggage.
He has passed through Migron;
At Michmash he deposited his baggage.
Ось він ійде на Аїят, проходить Мигрон, в Михмасї покидає тягарі свої.
They have gone through the pass, saying,
“Geba will be our lodging place.”
Ramah is terrified, and Gibeah of Saul has fled away.
“Geba will be our lodging place.”
Ramah is terrified, and Gibeah of Saul has fled away.
Переходять тїснини; в Геві ночують; Рама тремтить; Гива Саулова розбіглась.
Cry aloud with your voice, O daughter of Gallim!
Pay attention, Laishah and wretched Anathoth!
Pay attention, Laishah and wretched Anathoth!
Гукай голосно, дочко Галиму; нехай почують тебе Лаїс та й Анатот бідний!
Madmenah has fled.
The inhabitants of Gebim have sought refuge.
The inhabitants of Gebim have sought refuge.
Мадмена розбіглась, а й з Гевиму осадники сквапно утїкають.
Yet today he will halt at Nob;
He shakes his fist at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
He shakes his fist at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Ще лиш день простоїть він у Нобі, та погрозить рукою Сионові, узгіррю Ерусалимському.
Behold, the Lord, the GOD of hosts, will lop off the boughs with a terrible crash;
Those also who are tall in stature will be cut down
And those who are lofty will be abased.
Those also who are tall in stature will be cut down
And those who are lofty will be abased.
Но Господь, Господь Саваот, зірве страшною рукою віттє дерев сих, а ті, що величаються ростом, будуть зрубані, високі — на землю повалені,
