1 Слушайте это слово, в котором я подниму плач о вас, дом Израилев.
1 Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel:
2 Упала, не встает более дева Израилева! повержена на земле своей, и некому поднять ее.
2 “The virgin of Israel has fallen; She shall rise no more. She is cast down on her land; there is no one to raise her up.”
3 Ибо так говорит Господь Бог: город, выступавший тысячею, останется только с сотнею, и выступавший сотнею, останется с десятком у дома Израилева.
3 For the Lord Yahweh says: “The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went out one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
4 Ибо так говорит Господь дому Израилеву: взыщите Меня, и будете живы.
4 For Yahweh says to the house of Israel: “Seek me, and you will live;
5 Не ищите Вефиля и не ходите в Галгал, и в Вирсавию не странствуйте, ибо Галгал весь пойдет в плен и Вефиль обратится в ничто.
5 but don’t seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and don’t pass to Beersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
6 Взыщите Господа, и будете живы, чтобы Он не устремился на дом Иосифов как огонь, который пожрет его, и некому будет погасить его в Вефиле.
6 Seek Yahweh, and you will live, lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.
7 О, вы, которые суд превращаете в отраву и правду повергаете на землю!
7 You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth!
8 Кто сотворил семизвездие и Орион, и претворяет смертную тень в ясное утро, а день делает темным как ночь, призывает воды морские и разливает их по лицу земли? - Господь имя Ему!
8 Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name,
9 Он укрепляет опустошителя против сильного, и опустошитель входит в крепость.
9 who brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress.
10 А они ненавидят обличающего в воротах и гнушаются тем, кто говорит правду.
10 They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.
11 Итак за то, что вы попираете бедного и берете от него подарки хлебом, вы построите домы из тесаных камней, но жить не будете в них; разведете прекрасные виноградники, а вино из них не будете пить.
11 Therefore, because you trample on the poor and take taxes from him of wheat, you have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.
12 Ибо Я знаю, как многочисленны преступления ваши и как тяжки грехи ваши: вы враги правого, берете взятки и извращаете в суде дела бедных.
12 For I know how many are your offenses, and how great are your sins— you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn away the needy in the courts.
13 Поэтому разумный безмолвствует в это время, ибо злое это время.
13 Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.
14 Ищите добра, а не зла, чтобы вам остаться в живых, - и тогда Господь Бог Саваоф будет с вами, как вы говорите.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say.
15 Возненавидьте зло и возлюбите добро, и восстановите у ворот правосудие; может быть, Господь Бог Саваоф помилует остаток Иосифов.
15 Hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.”
16 Посему так говорит Господь Бог Саваоф, Вседержитель: на всех улицах будет плач, и на всех дорогах будут восклицать: "увы, увы!", и призовут земледельца сетовать и искусных в плачевных песнях - плакать,
16 Therefore Yahweh, the God of Armies, the Lord, says: “Wailing will be in all the wide ways. They will say in all the streets, ‘Alas! Alas!’ They will call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing.
17 и во всех виноградниках будет плач, ибо Я пройду среди тебя, говорит Господь.
17 In all vineyards there will be wailing, for I will pass through the middle of you,” says Yahweh.
18 Горе желающим дня Господня! для чего вам этот день Господень? он тьма, а не свет,
18 “Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh! Why do you long for the day of Yahweh? It is darkness, and not light.
19 то же, как если бы кто убежал от льва, и попался бы ему навстречу медведь, или если бы пришел домой и оперся рукою о стену, и змея ужалила бы его.
19 As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.
20 Разве день Господень не мрак, а свет? он тьма, и нет в нем сияния.
20 Won’t the day of Yahweh be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 Ненавижу, отвергаю праздники ваши и не обоняю жертв во время торжественных собраний ваших.
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.
22 Если вознесете Мне всесожжение и хлебное приношение, Я не приму их и не призрю на благодарственную жертву из тучных тельцов ваших.
22 Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
23 Удали от Меня шум песней твоих, ибо звуков гуслей твоих Я не буду слушать.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24 Пусть, как вода, течет суд, и правда - как сильный поток!
24 But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
25 Приносили ли вы Мне жертвы и хлебные дары в пустыне в течение сорока лет, дом Израилев?
25 “Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel?
26 Вы носили скинию Молохову и звезду бога вашего Ремфана, изображения, которые вы сделали для себя.
26 You also carried the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
27 За то Я переселю вас за Дамаск, говорит Господь; Бог Саваоф - имя Ему!
27 Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,” says Yahweh, whose name is the God of Armies.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But God turned, and gave them up to worship the hosts of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets: O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to Me sacrifices and oblations for forty years in the wilderness?
I will seek Thee, that my soul may live. For my body liveth by my soul, and my soul liveth by Thee.

I am moreover restrained by the Prophet's saying, "Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time, for it is an evil time," a time when some trip up their neighbours' heels, some stamp on a man when he is down, and others clap their hands with joy, but there is not one to feel for the fallen and hold …

The day of the Lord is darkness and not light." A day of darkness for those who are worthy of darkness.
