< Jeremiah 12 >

1 You are righteous, LORD, when I contend with you; yet I would like to plead a case with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?
Праведен еси, Господи, яко отвещаю к Тебе: обаче судбы возглаголю к Тебе: что, яко путь нечестивых спеется, угобзишася вси творящии беззакония?
2 You have planted them. Yes, they have taken root. They grow. Yes, they produce fruit. You are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.
Насадил еси их, и укоренишася, чада сотвориша и сотвориша плод: близ еси Ты уст их, далече же от утроб их.
3 But you, LORD, know me. You see me, and test my heart toward you. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
И Ты, Господи, разумееши мя, видел мя еси и искусил еси сердце мое пред Тобою: собери их яко овцы на заколение и очисти их в день заколения их.
4 How long will the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? Because of the wickedness of those who dwell therein, the animals and birds are consumed; because they said, “He will not see our latter end.”
Доколе плакати имать земля, и трава вся селная изсхнет от злобы живущих на ней? Погибоша скоти и птицы, яко рекоша: не узрит Бог путий наших.
5 “If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? Though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?
Нозе твои текут и разслабляют тя: како уготовишися с коньми? И в земли мира твоего уповал еси, како сотвориши в шуме Иорданстем?
6 For even your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you! Even they have cried aloud after you! Do not believe them, though they speak beautiful words to you.
Понеже и братия твоя и дом отца твоего, и сии отвергошася тебе и тии возопиша, созади тебе собрашася: не веруй им, егда глаголати будут тебе благая.
7 “I have forsaken my house. I have cast off my heritage. I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
Оставих дом Мой, оставих достояние Мое, дах возлюбленную душу Мою в руки врагов ея:
8 My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest. She has uttered her voice against me. Therefore I have hated her.
бысть Мне достояние Мое яко лев в дубраве, даде противу Мене глас свой: сего ради возненавидех е.
9 Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her all around? Go, assemble all the animals of the field. Bring them to devour.
Не вертеп ли иенин достояние Мое Мне, или пещера окрест его? Идите, соберите вся звери селныя, и да приидут снести е.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard. They have trodden my portion under foot. They have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Пастырие мнози растлиша виноград Мой, оскверниша часть Мою, даша часть желаемую Мою в пустыню непроходную,
11 They have made it a desolation. It mourns to me, being desolate. The whole land is made desolate, because no one cares.
положиша в потребление пагубы: Мене ради разорением разорена есть вся земля, яко ни един есть, иже размышляет сердцем.
12 Destroyers have come on all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of the LORD devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land. No flesh has peace.
Во всякий путь пустыни приидоша опустошающии, яко мечь Господень пояст от края земли даже до края ея: несть мира всяцей плоти.
13 They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns. They have exhausted themselves, and profit nothing. You will be ashamed of your fruits, because of the LORD’s fierce anger.”
Посеясте пшеницу, а терние пожасте: достояния их не полезна будут им: постыдитеся стыдением от похваления вашего, от поношения пред Господем.
14 The LORD says, “Concerning all my evil neighbors, who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.
Яко сия глаголет Господь о всех соседех лукавых, прикасающихся наследию Моему, еже разделих людем Моим Израилю: се, Аз исторгну их от земли их и дом Иудин извергну от среды их:
15 It will happen that after I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them. I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
и будет, егда исторгну их, обращуся и помилую их, и вселю их когождо в достояние свое и когождо в землю свою:
16 It will happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, ‘As the LORD lives;’ even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will be built up in the middle of my people.
и будет, аще учащеся научатся путем людий Моих, еже клятися именем Моим, жив Господь, якоже научиша людий Моих клятися Ваалом, и созиждутся посреде людий Моих:
17 But if they will not hear, then I will pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it,” says the LORD.
аще же не послушают, исторгну язык оный исторганием и погублением, рече Господь.
