Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Слово Божие, еже бысть ко Иеремии сыну Хелкиеву от священник, иже обиташе во Анафофе, в земли Вениаминове,
2 To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his rule.
якоже бысть слово Господне к нему, во дни Иосии сына Амоса царя Иудина, в третиенадесять лето царства его,
3 And it came again in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, up to the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah; till Jerusalem was taken away in the fifth month.
и бысть во дни Иоакима сына Иосии царя Иудина, даже до первагонадесять лета Седекии сына Иосии царя Иудина, даже до пленения Иерусалимскаго в месяц пятый.
4 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
5 Before you were formed in the body of your mother I had knowledge of you, and before your birth I made you holy; I have given you the work of being a prophet to the nations.
прежде неже мне создати тя во чреве, познах тя, и прежде неже изыти тебе из ложесн, освятих тя, пророка во языки поставих тя.
6 Then said I, O Lord God! see, I have no power of words, for I am a child.
И рекох: о, Сый Владыко Господи, се, не вем глаголати, яко отрок аз есмь.
7 But the Lord said to me, Do not say, I am a child: for wherever I send you, you are to go, and whatever I give you orders to say, you are to say.
И рече Господь ко мне: не глаголи, яко отрок аз есмь, ибо ко всем, к нимже послю тя, пойдеши, и вся, елика повелю тебе, возглаголеши:
8 Have no fear because of them: for I am with you, to keep you safe, says the Lord.
не убойся от лица их, яко с тобою Аз есмь, еже избавити тя, глаголет Господь.
9 Then the Lord put out his hand, touching my mouth; and the Lord said to me, See, I have put my words in your mouth:
И простре Господь руку Свою ко мне и прикоснуся устом моим, и рече Господь ко мне: се, дах словеса Моя во уста твоя:
10 See, this day I have put you over the nations and over the kingdoms, for uprooting and smashing down, for destruction and overturning, for building up and planting.
се, поставих тя днесь над языки и над царствы, да искорениши и разориши, и расточиши и разрушиши, и паки созиждеши и насадиши.
11 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch of an almond-tree.
И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя: что ты видиши Иеремие? И рекох: жезл ореховый (аз вижду).
12 Then the Lord said to me, You have seen well: for I keep watch over my word to give effect to it.
И рече Господь ко мне: благо видел еси, понеже бдех Аз над словесы Моими, еже сотворити я.
13 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, What do you see? And I said, I see a boiling pot, and its face is from the north.
И бысть слово Господне вторицею ко мне глаголя: что ты видиши? И рекох: коноб поджигаемый (аз вижду) и лице его от лица севера.
14 Then the Lord said to me, Out of the north evil will come, bursting out on all the people of the land.
И рече Господь ко мне: от лица севера возгорятся злая на всех обитающих на земли,
15 For see, I will send for all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says the Lord; and they will come, everyone placing his high seat at the way into Jerusalem, and against its walls on every side, and against all the towns of Judah.
зане се, Аз созову вся царства земная от севера, рече Господь и приидут и поставят кийждо престол свой в преддвериих врат Иерусалимских и на всех стенах окрест его и на всех градех Иудиных:
16 And I will give my decision against them on account of all their evil-doing; because they have given me up, burning perfumes to other gods and worshipping the works of their hands.
и возглаголю к ним с судом о всяцей злобе их, како оставиша Мя и пожроша богом чуждим и поклонишася делом рук своих.
17 So make yourself ready, and go and say to them everything I give you orders to say: do not be overcome by fear of them, or I will send fear on you before them.
Ты же препояши чресла твоя, и востани и глаголи к ним вся, елика заповедаю тебе: не убойся от лица их, ниже устрашися пред ними, яко с тобою есмь, еже избавити тя, глаголет Господь:
18 For see, this day have I made you a walled town, and an iron pillar, and walls of brass, against all the land, against the kings of Judah, against its captains, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
се, положих тя днесь аки град тверд и в столп железный, и аки стену медяну, крепку всем царем Иудиным и князем его, и священником его и людем земли:
19 They will be fighting against you, but they will not overcome you: for I am with you, says the Lord, to give you salvation.
и ратовати будут на тя и не премогут тя, понеже с тобою Аз есмь, да избавлю тя, рече Господь.
