Jeremiah 5
1 “Run back and forth through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in its wide places, if you can find a man, if there is anyone who does justly, who seeks truth, then I will pardon her.
Обыдите пути Иерусалимския и воззрите, и познайте и поищите на стогнах его, аще обрящете мужа творящаго суд и ищуща веры: и милосерд буду ему, глаголет Господь.
2 Though they say, ‘As the LORD lives,’ surely they swear falsely.”
Живет Господь, глаголют, сего ради не во лжах ли кленутся?
3 O LORD, do not your eyes look on truth? You have stricken them, but they were not grieved. You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock. They have refused to return.
Господи, очи Твои (зрят) на веру: бил еси их, и не поболеша, сокрушил еси их, и не восхотеша прияти наказания: ожесточиша лица своя паче камене и не хотеша обратитися.
4 Then I said, “Surely these are poor. They are foolish; for they do not know the LORD’s way, nor the law of their God.
Аз же рех: негли убози суть (и буии), того ради не возмогоша, яко не уведаша пути Господня и суда Бога своего.
5 I will go to the great men and will speak to them, for they know the way of the LORD, and the law of their God.” But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
Пойду ко державным и возглаголю им, тии бо познаша путь Господень и суд Бога своего. И се, единодушно сии сокрушиша иго, расторгоша узы.
6 Therefore a lion out of the forest will kill them. A wolf of the evenings will destroy them. A leopard will watch against their cities. Everyone who goes out there will be torn in pieces, because their transgressions are many and their backsliding has increased.
Сего ради порази их лев от дубравы, и волк даже до домов погуби их, и рысь бдяше над градами их: вси исходящии от них будут яти, яко умножиша нечестия своя, укрепишася во отвращениих своих.
7 “How can I pardon you? Your children have forsaken me, and sworn by what are no gods. When I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the prostitutes’ houses.
О чем от сих милосерд буду тебе? Сынове твои оставиша Мя и кляшася теми, иже не суть бози: насытих их, и прелюбодействоваша и в домех блудниц обиташа,
8 They were as fed horses roaming at large. Everyone neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
кони женонеистовни сотворишася, кийждо ко жене искренняго своего ржаше.
9 Should not I punish them for these things?” says the LORD. “Should not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Еда о сих не посещу? Рече Господь: или языку сицевому не мстит душа Моя?
10 “Go up on her walls, and destroy, but do not make a full end. Take away her branches, for they are not the LORD’s.
Взыдите на стены его и разорите, окончания же не сотворите: оставите подпоры его, яко Господни суть.
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me,” says the LORD.
Преступлением бо преступил есть на Мя дом Израилев и дом Иудин глаголет Господь.
12 They have denied the LORD, and said, “It is not he. Evil will not come on us. We will not see sword or famine.
Солгаша Господу своему и рекоша: не суть сия, ниже приидут на нас злая и меча и глада не узрим:
13 The prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them. Thus it will be done to them.”
пророцы наши быша на ветр, и слово Господне не бе в них, тако будет им.
14 Therefore the LORD, the God of Armies says, “Because you speak this word, behold, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it will devour them.
Сего ради тако глаголет Господь Сил: занеже глаголали есте слово сие, се, Аз даю словеса Моя во уста твоя огнь, и люди сия древа, и пояст их.
15 Behold, I will bring a nation on you from far away, house of Israel,” says the LORD. “It is a mighty nation. It is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know and do not understand what they say.
Се, Аз наведу на вас язык издалеча, доме Израилев, рече Господь, язык сильный, язык старый, егоже языка не увеси, (ни уразумееши, что глаголет):
16 Their quiver is an open tomb. They are all mighty men.
тул его яко гроб отверст, вси крепцыи и поядят жатву вашу
17 They will eat up your harvest and your bread, which your sons and your daughters should eat. They will eat up your flocks and your herds. They will eat up your vines and your fig trees. They will beat down your fortified cities in which you trust with the sword.
и хлебы вашя, и поядят сынов ваших и дщерей ваших, и снедят овец ваших и телцев ваших, и поядят винограды вашя и смокви вашя и масличия ваша, и сокрушат грады вашя твердыя, на нихже вы уповасте, мечем.
18 “But even in those days,” says the LORD, “I will not make a full end of you.
Обаче во днех онех, глаголет Господь Бог твой, не сотворю вас во истребление.
19 It will happen when you say, ‘Why has the LORD our God done all these things to us?’ Then you shall say to them, ‘Just as you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your land, so you will serve strangers in a land that is not yours.’
И будет, егда речете: почто сотвори Господь Бог наш нам сия вся? И речеши к ним: яко остависте Мя и послужисте богом чуждим в земли вашей, тако послужите богом чуждим в земли не вашей.
20 “Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
Возвестите сия дому Иаковлю и слышано сотворите в дому Иудине (рекуще):
21 ‘Hear this now, foolish people without understanding, who have eyes, and do not see, who have ears, and do not hear:
слышите сия, людие буии и не имущии сердца, иже, имеюще очи, не видите, и ушы, и не слышите:
22 Do not you fear me?’ says the LORD; ‘Will not you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? Though its waves toss themselves, yet they cannot prevail. Though they roar, they still cannot pass over it.’
Мене ли не убоитеся? Рече Господь: или от лица Моего не устыдитеся? Иже положих песок предел морю, заповедь вечну, и не превзыдет его, и возмутится и не возможет: и возшумят волны его, и не прейдут того.
23 “But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart. They have revolted and gone.
Людем же сим бысть сердце непослушно и непокориво, и уклонишася и поидоша,
24 They do not say in their heart, ‘Let’s now fear the LORD our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season, who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.’
и не рекоша в сердцы своем: убоимся Господа Бога нашего, дающаго нам дождь ранний и поздный во время исполнения повеления жатвы и хранящаго нам.
25 “Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.
Беззакония наша уклониша сия, и греси наши отринуша благая от нас.
26 For wicked men are found among my people. They watch, as fowlers lie in wait. They set a trap. They catch men.
Яко обретошася в людех Моих нечестивии, и сети поставиша, еже погубити мужы, и уловиша.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. Therefore they have become great, and grew rich.
Аки клетка поставлена полна птиц, тако домы их полни лести: сего ради возвеличишася и обогатишася:
28 They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excel in deeds of wickedness. They do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they do not defend the rights of the needy.
утыша и утолстеша и преступиша словеса Моя злейшии: прю вдовицы не судиша, суда сира не управиша и суда убогим не судиша.
29 “Should not I punish for these things?” says the LORD. “Should not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Еда сих ради не посещу? Рече Господь: или языку сицевому не отмстит душа Моя?
30 “An astonishing and horrible thing has happened in the land.
Ужас и страшная содеяшася на земли:
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority; and my people love to have it so. What will you do in the end of it?
пророцы пророчествоваша неправедная, и священницы восплескаша руками своими, и людие Мои возлюбиша таковая. И что сотворите в последняя сих?
