by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Smutjas', nakhmurilsja prorok
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Smutjas', nakhmurilsja prorok,
Slepca poslyshav priblizhen'e:
Bezhit, da ne derznjot porok
Jemu javljat' nedoumen'e.

S nebesnoj knigi spisok dan
Tebe, prorok, ne dlja stroptivykh;
Spokojno vozveshchaj Koran,
Ne ponuzhdaja nechestivykh!

Pochto zh kichitsja chelovek?
Za to l', chto nag na svet javilsja,
Chto dyshit on nedolgij vek,
Chto slab umrjot, kak slab rodilsja?

Za to l', chto bog i umertvit
I voskresit jego — po vole?
Chto s neba dni jego khranit
I v radostjakh i v gor'koj dole?

Za to l', chto dal jemu plody,
I khleb, i finik, i olivu,
Blagosloviv jego trudy,
I vertograd, i kholm, i nivu?

No dvazhdy angel vostrubit;
Na zemlju grom nebesnyj grjanet:
I brat ot brata pobezhit,
I syn ot materi otprjanet.

I vse pred boga pritekut,
Obezobrazhennye strakhom;
I nechestivye padut,
Pokryty plamenem i prakhom.
