< Jeremias 3 >
1 If a man put away his wife, and she depart from him, and become another man's, shall she return to him any more at all? shall not that woman be utterly defiled? you you have gone a-whoring with many shepherds, and have returned to me, says the Lord.
Аще отпустит муж жену свою, и отидет от него и будет мужу иному, еда возвращающися возвратится к нему паки? Еда непорочна будет и неосквернена жена та? Ты же соблудила еси с пастырьми многими, и возвращалася еси и ко Мне, глаголет Господь.
2 Lift up your eyes [to look] straight forward, and see where you have not been utterly defiled. You have sat for them by the wayside as a deserted crow, and have defiled the land with your fornications and your wickedness.
Воздвигни очи твои на правоту и виждь, где не смесилася еси? На путех сидела еси аки врана особящаяся и осквернила еси землю в любодеяниих и в лукавствех твоих,
3 And you did retain many shepherds for a stumbling block to yourself: you had a whore's face, you did become shameless towards all.
и имела еси пастырей многих в претыкание себе: лице жены блудницы бысть тебе, не хотела еси постыдетися ко всем.
4 Hast you not called me as it were a home, and the father and guide of your virgin-time?
Не аки ли домом Мене нарекла еси и Отцем и вождем девства твоего?
5 Will [God's anger] continue for ever, or be preserved to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done these bad things, and had power [to do them].
Еда пребудет во век, или сохранится в победу? Сия глаголала еси, и сотворила еси злая, и возмогла еси.
6 And the Lord said to me in the days of Josias the king, Hast you seen what things the house of Israel has done to me? they have gone on every high mountain, and under every shady tree, and have committed fornication there.
И рече Господь ко мне во дни Иосии царя: видел ли еси, яже сотвори ми дом Израилев? Поидоша на всяку гору высоку и под всяко древо листвяно и соблудиша тамо.
7 And I said after she had committed all these acts of fornication, Turn again to me. Yet she returned not. And faithless Juda saw her faithlessness.
И рекох по внегда прелюбодействовати ему во всех сих: ко Мне обратися. И виде преступление его преступница Иудеа сестра его.
8 And I saw that (for all the sins of which she was convicted, wherein the house of Israel committed adultery, and I put her away, and gave into her hands a bill of divorcement, ) yet faithless Juda feared not, but went and herself also committed fornication.
И видех, яко о всех (изобличен есть), в нихже ят бысть, в нихже любодействова дом Израилев: сего ради отпустих и и дах ему книгу распустную в руце его. Обаче не убояся преступница Иудеа (сестра его), но иде и соблудила есть и та:
9 And her fornication was nothing accounted of; and she committed adultery with wood and stone.
и бысть ни во что блуд ея, и оскверни землю, и соблудила есть с каменем и со древом.
10 And for all these things faithless Juda turned not to me with all her heart, but falsely.
И во всех сих не обратися ко Мне преступница сестра ея Иудеа от всего сердца своего, но во лжи, рече Господь.
11 And the Lord said to me, Israel has justified himself more than faithless Juda.
И рече Господь ко мне: оправда душу свою отступница Израиль, паче преступницы Иудеи:
12 Go and read these words towards the north, and you shall say, Return to me, O house of Israel, says the Lord; and I will not set my face against you: for I am merciful, says the Lord, and I will not be angry with you for ever.
иди, и прочти словеса та к северу, и речеши: обратися ко мне, доме Израилев, рече Господь: и не утвержду лица Моего на вас, яко милостив Аз есмь, рече Господь, и не прогневаюся на вы во веки.
13 Nevertheless, know your iniquity, that you have sinned against the Lord your God, and have scattered your ways to strangers under every shady tree, but you did not listen to my voice, says the Lord.
Обаче веждь беззаконие твое, яко в Господа Бога твоего преступила еси, и расточила еси пути твоя чуждим под всяким древом листвяным, гласа же Моего не послушала еси, рече Господь.
14 Turn, you children that have revolted, says the Lord; for I will rule over you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you in to Sion:
Обратитеся, сынове отступившии, глаголет Господь: яко Аз возобладаю вами и поиму вы единаго от града и двух от племене, и введу вас в Сион
15 and I will give you shepherds after my heart, and they shall certainly tend you with knowledge.
и дам вам пастыри по сердцу Моему, и упасут вас разумом и учением.
16 And it shall come to pass that when you are multiplied and increased upon the land, says the Lord, in those days they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Holy One of Israel: it shall not come to mind; it shall not be named; neither shall it be visited; nor shall [this] be done any more.
И будет, егда умножитеся и возрастете на земли, глаголет Господь, во дни оны не рекут ктому: кивот завета Святаго Израилева: не взыдет на сердце, ни воспомянется, ниже посетится, ниже сотворится ктому.
17 In those days and at that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered to it: and they shall not walk any more after the imaginations of their evil heart.
Во дни оны нарекут Иерусалима престол Господень, и соберутся к нему вси языцы во имя Господне во Иерусалим, и не пойдут ктому вслед похотей сердца своего злейшаго.
18 In those days the house of Juda, shall come together to the house of Israel, and they shall come, together, from the land of the north, and from all the countries, to the land, which I caused their fathers to inherit.
Во днех тех приидет дом Иудин ко дому Израилеву, и пойдут вкупе от земли северныя и от всех стран к земли, юже дах в наследие отцем их.
19 And I said, So be it, Lord, for [you said] I will set you amongst children, and will give you a choice land, the inheritance of the Almighty God of the Gentiles: and I said, You shall call me Father; and you shall not turn away from me.
Аз же рех: да будет, Господи, яко положу тя в чада и дам тебе землю избранную, достояние Бога Вседержителя языков: и рекох: отцем наречете Мя и от Мене не отвратитеся.
20 But as a wife acts treacherously against her husband, so has the house of Israel dealt treacherously against me, says the Lord.
Обаче якоже отвергается жена сожителя своего, тако отвержеся от Мене дом Израилев, рече Господь.
21 A voice from the lips was heard, [even] of weeping and supplication of the children of Israel: for they have dealt unrighteously in their ways, they have forgotten God their Holy One.
Глас из устен слышан бысть плача и моления сынов Израилевых, яко беззаконноваша в путех своих, забыша Господа Бога святаго своего.
22 Turn, you children that are given to turning, and I will heal your bruises. Behold, we will be your servants; for you are the Lord our God.
Возвратитеся, сынове возвращаюшиися, и изцелю сокрушения ваша. Се, рабы мы будем Тебе, Ты бо еси Господь Бог наш.
23 Truly the hills and the strength of the mountains were a lying refuge: but by the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
Истинно лживи быша холми и множество гор, токмо Господем Богом нашим спасение Израилево.
24 But shame has consumed the labours of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their calves, and their sons and their daughters.
Студ же пояде труды отец наших, от юности нашея, овцы их и телцы их, и сыны их и дщери их.
25 We have lain down in our shame, and our disgrace has covered us: because we and our fathers have sinned before our God, from our youth until this day; and we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God.
Уснухом в постыдении нашем, и покры нас безчестие наше, яко Господу Богу нашему согрешихом, мы и отцы наши, от юности нашея даже до сего дне, и не послушахом гласа Господа Бога нашего.
