И возопи́ во у́шы мои́ гла́сомъ вели́кимъ, глаго́ля: прибли́жися отмще́ніє гра́да: и кі́йждо имѣ́яше сосу́ды истребле́нія въ руцѣ́ своє́й.

And he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, The judgment of the city has drawn nigh; and each had the weapons of destruction in his hand.

²

И се́, ше́сть муже́й идо́ша от пути́ вра́тъ высо́кихъ зря́щихъ на сѣ́веръ, и коєму́ждо сѣки́ра [погубле́нія] въ руцѣ́ єго́: и му́жъ єди́нъ посредѣ́ и́хъ облече́нъ въ поди́ръ, и по́ясъ от сапфі́ра о чре́слѣхъ єго́: и внидо́ша и ста́ша бли́зъ же́ртвенника мѣ́дянаго.

²

And, behold, six men came from the way of the high gate that looks toward the north, and each one's axe was in his hand; and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with a long robe down to the feet, and a sapphire girdle was on his loins: and they came in and stood near the brazen altar.

³

И сла́ва Бо́га Ізра́илева взы́де от херуві́мовъ су́щая на ни́хъ въ непокрове́нноє до́му: и призва́ му́жа оболче́на въ поди́ръ, и́же имѣ́яше на чре́слѣхъ свои́хъ по́ясъ.

³

And the glory of the God of Israel, that was upon them, went up from the cherubs to the porch of the house. And he called the man that was clothed with the long robe, who had the girdle on his loins;

⁴

И рече́ Госпо́дь къ нему́: пройди́ средѣ́ гра́да Ієрусали́ма и да́ждь зна́менія на ли́ца муже́й стеня́щихъ и болѣ́знующихъ о всѣ́хъ беззако́ніихъ быва́ющихъ средѣ́ и́хъ.

⁴

and said to him, Go through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that groan and that grieve for all the iniquities that are done in the midst of them.

⁵

И си́мъ рече́, слы́шащу мнѣ́: иди́те во гра́дъ вслѣ́дъ єго́, изсѣцы́те и не пощади́те очи́ма ва́шима и не поми́луйте:

⁵

And he said to the first in my hearing, Go after him into the city, and smite: and let not your eyes spare, and have no mercy.

⁶

ста́рца и ю́ношу и дѣ́ву, и младе́нцы и жены́ избі́йте въ потребле́ніє: а ко всѣ́мъ, на ни́хже є́сть зна́меніє, не прикаса́йтеся: от освяще́нныхъ мои́хъ начни́те. И нача́ша от муже́й ста́рыхъ, и́же бѣ́ша вну́трь въ дому́.

⁶

Slay utterly old man and youth, and virgin, and infants, and women: but go ye not nigh any on whom is the mark: begin at my sanctuary. So they began with the elder men who were within in the house.

⁷

И рече́ къ ни́мъ: оскверни́те до́мъ, и напо́лните пути́ мертвеце́въ исходя́ще, и изсѣцы́те [су́щихъ во гра́дѣ].

⁷

And he said to them, Defile the house, and go out and fill the ways with dead bodies, and smite.

⁸

И бы́сть внегда́ сѣча́ху и́хъ, оста́хъ а́зъ и падо́хъ ни́цъ, и возопи́хъ и рѣ́хъ: го́ре, [го́ре,] о, лю́тѣ мнѣ́, Адонаю́ Го́споди! єда́ потребля́єши ты́ оста́нки Ізра́илевы, єгда́ разлива́єши я́рость твою́ на Ієрусали́мъ?

⁸

And it came to pass as they were smiting, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Alas, O Lord! wilt thou destroy the remnant of Israel, in pouring out thy wrath upon Jerusalem?

⁹

И рече́ ко мнѣ́: непра́вда до́му Ізра́илева и Іу́дина возвели́чися зѣло́ зѣло́, я́ко напо́лнися земля́ люді́й мно́гихъ, и гра́дъ напо́лнися непра́вдъ и нечисто́тъ, я́ко рѣ́ша: оста́вилъ є́сть Госпо́дь зе́млю и не ви́дитъ Госпо́дь.

⁹

Then said he to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Juda is become very exceedingly great: for the land is filled with many nations, and the city is filled with iniquity and uncleanness: because they have said, The Lord has forsaken the earth, The Lord looks not upon it.

¹⁰

И а́зъ є́смь, и не пощади́тъ о́ко моє́, ни поми́лую, пути́ и́хъ на главы́ и́хъ да́хъ.

¹⁰

Therefore mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have any mercy: I have recompensed their ways upon their heads.

¹¹

И се́, му́жъ, оболче́ный въ поди́ръ и препоя́санъ по́ясомъ о чре́слѣхъ свои́хъ, отвѣщава́ше, глаго́ля: сотвори́хъ, я́коже заповѣ́далъ ми́ єси́.

¹¹

And, behold, the man clothed with the long robe, and girt with the girdle about his loins, answered and said, I have done as thou didst command me.
