Jeremias 2
1 And he said, Thus says the Lord,
И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголющее: иди и вопий во ушы Иерусалиму, рекий: сия глаголет Господь:
2 I remember the kindness of your youth, and the love of your espousals,
помянух милость юности твоея и любовь совершенства твоего, егда последовал еси в пустыни ненасеянней Святому Израилеву, глаголет Господь.
3 in following the Holy One of Israel, says the Lord, Israel was the holy [people] to the Lord, [and] the first fruits of his increase: all that devoured him shall offend; evils shall come upon them, says the Lord.
Свят Израиль Господеви, начаток плодов Его: вси поядающии его согрешат, злая приидут на них, рече Господь.
4 Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and every family of the house of Israel.
Услышите слово Господне, доме Иаковль и вся племена дому Израилева.
5 Thus says the Lord, What trespass have your fathers found in me, that they have revolted far from me, and gone after vanities, and become vain?
Сия глаголет Господь: кое обретоша отцы ваши во Мне погрешение, яко удалишася от Мене и ходиша вслед суетных и осуетишася,
6 And they said not, Where is the Lord, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who guided us in the wilderness, in an untried and trackless land, in a land which no man at all went through, and no man lived there?
и не рекоша: где есть Господь, изведый нас от земли Египетския, преведый нас по пустыни, по земли необитанней и непроходней, по земли безводней и неплодней, по земли, по нейже не ходил муж никогдаже и не обитал человек тамо?
7 And I brought you to Carmel, that you should eat the fruits thereof, and the good thereof; and you went in, and defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
И введох вас в землю Кармил, да снесте плоды его и благая того: и внидосте, и осквернили есте землю Мою, и достояние Мое поставили есте в мерзость.
8 The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that held by the law knew me not: the shepherds also sinned against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and went after that which profited not.
Священницы не рекоша: где есть Господь? И держащии закон не ведеша Мя, и пастырие нечествоваша на Мя, и пророцы пророчествоваша в Ваала и идолом последоваша.
9 Therefore I will yet plead with you, and will plead with your children's children.
Сего ради еще судом претися имам с вами, рече Господь, и с сыны вашими препрюся.
10 For go to the isles of the Chettians, and se; and send to Kedar, and observe accurately, and see if such things have been done;
Того ради приидите во островы Хеттим и видите, и в Кидар послите и разсмотрите прилежно и видите, аще сотворена быша таковая?
11 if the nations will change their gods, though they are not gods: but my people have changed their glory, [for that] from which they shall not be profited.
Аще премениша языцы боги своя, и тии не суть бози? Людие же Мои премениша славу свою на то, от негоже не упользуются.
12 The heaven is amazed at this, and is very exceedingly horror-struck, says the Lord.
Ужасеся небо о сем и вострепета попремногу зело, глаголет Господь.
13 For my people has committed two [faults], and evil ones: they have forsaken me, the fountain of water of life, and hewn out for themselves broken cisterns, which will not be able to hold water.
Два бо зла сотвориша людие Мои: Мене оставиша источника воды живы, и ископаша себе кладенцы сокрушеныя, иже не возмогут воды содержати.
14 Is Israel a servant, or a home-born slave? why has he become a spoil?
Еда раб есть Израиль, или домочадец есть? Вскую бысть в пленение?
15 The lions roared upon him, and uttered their voice, which have made his land a wilderness: and his cities are broken down, that they should not be inhabited.
На него рыкаша львове и издаша глас свой, иже поставиша землю его в пустыню, и грады его сожжени суть, еже не обитати в них.
16 Also the children of Memphis and Taphnas have known you, and mocked you.
И сынове Мемфиса и Тафны познаша тя и поругашася тебе.
17 Has not your forsaking me brought these things upon you? says the Lord your God.
Не сия ли сотвори тебе то, яко оставил еси Мене? Глаголет Господь Бог твой.
18 And now what have you to do with the way of Egypt, to drink the water of Geon? and what have you to do with the way of the Assyrians, to drink the water of rivers?
И ныне что тебе и пути Египетскому, еже пити воду Геонскую? И что тебе и пути Ассирийскому, да пиеши воду речную?
19 Your apostasy shall correct you, and your wickedness shall reprove you: know then, and see, that your forsaking me [has been] bitter to you, says the Lord your God; and I have taken no pleasure in you, says the Lord your God.
Накажет тя отступление твое и злоба твоя обличит тя и увеждь и виждь, яко зло и горько ти есть, еже оставити мя, глаголет Господь Бог твой: и не благоволих от тебе, глаголет Господь Бог твой.
20 For of old you have broken your yoke, and plucked asunder your bands; and you has said, I will not serve you, but will go upon every high hill, and under every shady tree, there will I indulge in my fornication.
Понеже от века сокрушил еси иго твое и растерзал еси узы твоя и рекл еси: не имам тебе служити, но пойду на всякий холм высокий и под всяким древом лиственным тамо разлиюся в блуде моем.
21 Yet I planted you a fruitful vine, entirely of the right sort: how are you a strange vine turned to bitterness!
Аз же насадих тя виноград плодоносен, весь истинен: како превратился еси в горесть, виноград чуждий?
22 Though you should wash yourself with nitre, and multiply to yourself soap, [still] you are stained by your iniquities before me, says the Lord.
Аще умыешися нитром и умножиши себе травы борифовы, порочен еси во беззакониих твоих предо Мною, рече Господь Бог.
23 How will you say, I am not polluted, and have not gone after Baal? behold your ways in the burial-ground, and know what you have done: her voice has howled in the evening:
Како речеши: не осквернихся и вслед Ваала не ходих? Виждь пути твоя на месте многогробищнем и увеждь, что сотворил еси. В вечер глас его рыдаше,
24 she has extended her ways over the waters of the desert; she was hurried along by the lusts of her soul; she is given up [to them], who will turn her back? none that seek her shall be weary; at [the time of] her humiliation they shall find her.
пути своя разшири на воды пустынныя, в похотех души своея ветром ношашеся, предан бысть, кто обратит его? Вси ищущии его не утрудятся, во смирении его обрящут его.
25 Withdraw your foot from a rough way, and your throat from thirst: but she said I will strengthen myself: for she loved strangers, and went after them.
Отврати ногу твою от пути стропотна и гортань твой от жажди. И рече: возмужаюся, яко возлюби чуждих и вслед их хождаше.
26 As is the shame of a thief when he is caught, so shall the children of Israel be ashamed; they, and their kings, and their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.
Якоже стыд татю, егда ят будет, тако постыдятся сынове Израилевы, тии и царие их, и началницы их и священницы их и пророцы их.
27 They said to a stock, You are my father; and to a stone, You has begotten me: and they have turned [their] backs to me, and not their faces: yet in the time of their afflictions they will say, Arise, and save us.
Древу рекоша: яко отец мой еси ты: и камени: ты мя родил еси: и обратиша ко Мне хребты, а не лица своя: и во время озлобления своего рекут: востани и избави нас.
28 And where are your gods, which you made for yourself? will they arise and save in the time of your affliction? for according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Juda; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem they sacrificed to Baal.
И где суть бози твои, яже сотворил еси тебе? Да востанут и избавят тя во время озлобления твоего: по числу бо градов твоих быша бози твои, Иудо, и по числу путий Иерусалимских жряху Ваалу.
29 Therefore do you speak to me? you all have been ungodly, and you all have transgressed against me, says the Lord.
Вскую глаголете ко Мне? Вси вы нечествовасте и вси вы беззаконновасте ко Мне, глаголет Господь.
30 In vain have I struck your children; you have not received correction: a sword has devoured your prophets as a destroying lion; yet you feared not.
Всуе поразих чада ваша, наказания не приясте, мечь пояде пророки вашя, аки лев погубляяй, и не убоястеся.
31 Hear you the word of the Lord: thus says the Lord, Have I been a wilderness or a dry land to Israel? therefore has my people said, We will not be ruled over, and will not come to you any more?
Слышите слово Господне, тако глаголет Господь: еда пустыня бых Израилю, или земля неплодна? Вскую реша людие Мои: обладаеми не будем и потом не приидем к Тебе?
32 Will a bride forget her ornaments, or a virgin her girdle? but my people has forgotten me days without number.
Еда забудет невеста красоту свою, и дева мониста персий своих? Людие же Мои забыша Мене дни безчисленны.
33 What fair device will you yet employ in your ways, so as to seek love? [it shall] not [be] so; moreover you has done wickedly in corrupting your ways;
Что еще добро ухитриши на путех твоих, еже взыскати любве? Не тако: но и ты лукавновала еси, еже осквернити пути твоя,
34 and in your hands has been found the blood of innocent souls; I have not found them in holes, but on every oak.
и в руках твоих обретеся кровь душ (убогих) неповинных: не в ровех обретох их, но во всяцей дубраве.
35 Yet you said, I am innocent: only let his wrath be turned away from me. Behold, I [will] plead with you, whereas you say, I have not sinned.
И рекла еси: неповинна есмь, но да отвратится ярость Твоя от мене. Се, Аз суждуся с тобою, внегда рещи тебе: не согреших:
36 For you has been so exceedingly contemptuous as to repeat your ways; but you shall be ashamed of Egypt, as you were ashamed of Assur.
понеже презрела еси зело, еже повторити пути твоя: и от Египта постыдишися, якоже постыдена еси от Ассура:
37 For you shall go forth thence also with your hands upon your head; for the Lord has rejected your hope, and you shall not prosper in it.
яко и оттуду изыдеши, и руце твои на главе твоей: яко отрину Господь надеяние твое, и не благопоспешится тебе в нем.
