< Jeremiah 12 >
1 You are in the right, O Lord, when I put my cause before you: still let me take up with you the question of your decisions: why does the evil-doer do well? why are the workers of deceit living in comfort?
Праведен еси, Господи, яко отвещаю к Тебе: обаче судбы возглаголю к Тебе: что, яко путь нечестивых спеется, угобзишася вси творящии беззакония?
2 They have been planted by you, they have taken root; they go on and give fruit: you are near in their mouths but far from their thoughts.
Насадил еси их, и укоренишася, чада сотвориша и сотвориша плод: близ еси Ты уст их, далече же от утроб их.
3 But you, O Lord, have knowledge of me; you see me, searching and testing how my heart is with you: let them be pulled out like sheep to be put to death, make them ready for the day of death.
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 have grief, and the plants of all the land be dry? because of the sins of the people living in it, destruction has overtaken the beasts and the birds; because they said, God does not see our ways.
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 running with the fighting-men has made you tired, how will you be able to keep up with horses? and if in a land of peace you go in flight, what will become of you in the thick growth of 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, your father's family, even they have been untrue to you, crying loudly after you: have no faith in them, though they say fair 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 given up my house, I have let my heritage go; I have given the loved one of my soul into the hands of her haters.
Оставих дом Мой, оставих достояние Мое, дах возлюбленную душу Мою в руки врагов ея:
8 My heritage has become like a lion in the woodland to me; her voice has been loud against me; so I have hate for her.
бысть Мне достояние Мое яко лев в дубраве, даде противу Мене глас свой: сего ради возненавидех е.
9 My heritage is like a brightly coloured bird to me; the cruel birds are attacking her on every side: go, get together all the beasts of the field, make them come for destruction.
Не вертеп ли иенин достояние Мое Мне, или пещера окрест его? Идите, соберите вся звери селныя, и да приидут снести е.
10 The keepers of sheep have been the destruction of my vine-garden, crushing my heritage under their feet; they have made my fair heritage an unplanted waste;
Пастырие мнози растлиша виноград Мой, оскверниша часть Мою, даша часть желаемую Мою в пустыню непроходную,
11 They have made it waste; it is weeping to me, being wasted; all the land is made waste, because no man takes it to heart.
положиша в потребление пагубы: Мене ради разорением разорена есть вся земля, яко ни един есть, иже размышляет сердцем.
12 Those who make waste have come on all the open hilltops in the waste land; for the sword of the Lord sends destruction from one end of the land 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 Though good grain was planted, they have got in thorns: they have given themselves pain without profit: they will be shamed on account of their produce, because of the burning wrath of the Lord.
Посеясте пшеницу, а терние пожасте: достояния их не полезна будут им: постыдитеся стыдением от похваления вашего, от поношения пред Господем.
14 This is what the Lord has said against all my evil neighbours, who put their hands on the heritage which I gave my people Israel: See, I will have them uprooted from their land, uprooting the people 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 And it will come about that, after they have been uprooted, I will again have pity on them; and I will take them back, 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 And it will be that, if they give their minds to learning the ways of my people, using my name in their oaths, By the living Lord; as they have been teaching my people to take oaths by the Baal; then their place will be made certain among 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 give ear, then I will have that nation uprooted, and given to destruction, says the Lord.
аще же не послушают, исторгну язык оный исторганием и погублением, рече Господь.
