Ис 18
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия для Таджикистана
Пророчество об Эфиопии
18 Горе стране шумящих крыльев,
что лежит за реками Эфиопии
2 и послов отправляет по морю,
в папирусных лодках по водам!
Возвращайтесь домой, скорые вестники,
к своему рослому народу с гладкой кожей,
к народу, наводящему страх на ближних и дальних,
к народу сильному и победоносному,
чью землю разрезали реки.
3 Все вы, обитатели мира,
вы, живущие на земле, –
когда над горами поднимется знамя сражения,
вы увидите,
и когда зазвучит рог,
вы услышите.
4 Так мне сказал Вечный:
– Я спокойно буду смотреть из Моего жилища,
как марево в знойный день,
как облако пара в жатвенный зной.
5 Ещё до сбора винограда, когда опадает цвет
и цветок становится зреющей гроздью,
Вечный отрежет ножом побеги,
срежет поросль и унесёт.
6 Все они будут оставлены хищным горным птицам
и диким зверям:
птицы будут кормиться ими всё лето,
а дикие звери – всю зиму.[a]
7 В то время Вечному, Повелителю Сил, будут принесены дары
от этого народа, рослого и с гладкой кожей,
от народа, наводящего страх на ближних и дальних,
от народа сильного и победоносного,
чью землю разрезали реки, –
дары будут принесены на гору Сион, место обитания Вечного, Повелителя Сил.

Easy-to-Read Version
God’s Message to Ethiopia
18 Look at the land along the rivers of Ethiopia where you can hear the buzzing of insect wings. 2 That land sends people down the Nile River in reed boats.[a]
Fast messengers, go to the people
who are tall and smooth,
who are feared far and wide.
Go to that powerful nation that defeats other countries
and whose land is divided by rivers.
Go warn them!
3 Like a flag on a hill,
everyone on earth will see what happens.
Like a trumpet call,
everyone in the country will hear it.
4 The Lord said, “I will be in the place prepared for me.[b] I will quietly watch these things happen: On a beautiful summer day, at noon, people will be resting. (It will be during the hot harvest time when there is no rain, but only early morning dew.) 5 Then something terrible will happen. Earlier in the year, the flowers bloomed and the new grapes formed buds and began to grow. But before the crop is harvested, the enemy will come and cut the plants. They will break the vines and throw them away. 6 The vines will be left for the birds from the mountains and the wild animals to eat. The birds will feed on them throughout the summer, and that winter the wild animals will eat the vines.”
7 At that time a special offering will be brought to the Lord All-Powerful from the people who are tall and smooth, from those who are feared far and wide, from that powerful nation that defeats other countries and whose land is divided by rivers.[c] This offering will be brought to the Lord’s place on Mount Zion.

King James Version
18 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
4 For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7 In that time shall the present be brought unto the Lord of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion.
