Jeremiah 51
1 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will raise up, over Babylon and over its inhabitants, who have lifted up their heart against me, something like a pestilent wind.
Тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз воздвигну на Вавилон и на живущыя Халдеи ветр зноен губителный:
2 And I will send winnowers into Babylon, and they will winnow her, and they will demolish her land. For they will overwhelm her from every side in the day of her affliction.
и послю на Вавилон ругатели, и студно поругаются ему и истлят землю его: понеже горе на Вавилон окрест в день озлобления его.
3 Let him who draws the bow, not draw his bow. And let him who wears armor, not rise up. Do not spare her young men. Destroy her entire military.
Да наляцает наляцаяй лук свой, и да облечется в броня своя, и не пощадите юнош его, и побийте все воинство его.
4 And the slain will fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and the wounded in its regions.
И падут избиеннии в земли Халдейстей и язвеннии во странах ея.
5 Yet Israel and Judah have not been widowed by their God, the Lord of hosts, though their land has been filled with transgression against the Holy One of Israel.
Понеже не овдове Израиль и Иуда от Бога Своего, от Господа Вседержителя, яко земля их наполнися неправды от Святых Израилевых.
6 Flee from the midst of Babylon! And let each one save his own life. Do not be silent about her iniquity. For it is the time of revenge from the Lord. He himself will repay her, in her turn.
Бежите от среды Вавилона и спасите кийждо душу свою и не погибнете в неправде его, зане время отмщения его есть от Господа, воздаяние Той воздаст ему.
7 Babylon is a gold cup in the hand of the Lord, inebriating the entire earth. The nations have drunk from her wine, and therefore they have staggered.
Чаша златая Вавилон в руце Господни, напаяющи всю землю, от вина его пиша (вси) языцы, сего ради потрясошася.
8 Suddenly, Babylon has fallen and been crushed. Wail over her! Take a balm to her pain, if perhaps she may be healed.”
Внезапу паде Вавилон и сокрушися: плачите по нем, возмите масти к болезни его, да изцелится.
9 “We would have cured Babylon, but there is no cure. Let us abandon her, and let each one of us go to his own land. For her judgment has reached even to the heavens, and has been lifted up even to the clouds.
Врачевахом Вавилона, и не изцеле: оставим его и отидем кийждо в землю свою, взыде бо к небеси суд его и воздвижеся даже до звезд.
10 The Lord has brought forth our justices. Come and let us describe in Zion the work of the Lord our God.”
Изнесе Господь суд Свой: приидите и возвестим в Сионе дела Господа Бога нашего.
11 Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers. The Lord has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes. And his mind is against Babylon, so that he may destroy her. For this is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
Наострите стрелы, наполните тулы: воздвиже Господь дух царей Мидских, яко противу Вавилона гнев Его, да погубит и, понеже отмщение Господне есть, отмщение людий Его.
12 Upon the walls of Babylon, lift up a sign. Increase the watch! Rouse the watchmen! Prepare ambushes! For the Lord has planned and has accomplished all that he has spoken, against the inhabitants of Babylon.
На стенах Вавилонских воздвигните знамя, поставите стражи, уготовите стражей, уготовите оружие: яко умысли Господь, и сотворит, яже рече на живущыя в Вавилоне,
13 You who live above many waters, rich in treasures: your end has arrived, your measure has been cut short.
живый над водами многими и богат в сокровищих своих: прииде конец твой истинно во утробы твоя.
14 The Lord of hosts has sworn by himself, saying: “For I will fill you with men as with locusts, and they will sing a rhythmic chant against you.”
Клятся бо Господь Сил мышцею Своею, яко наполню тебе людьми, якоже акридами, и возгласят над тобою низходящии.
15 The One who made the earth by his strength, who prepared the world by his wisdom, and who stretched out the heavens by his prudence:
Господь сотворивый землю в силе Своей и устроивый вселенную в мудрости Своей, и разумением Своим распростре небеса,
16 when he utters his voice, the waters will be multiplied in the heavens. The One who lifts up the clouds from the ends of the earth: he has turned lightning into rain, and he has brought forth wind from his storehouses.
егда Он даст глас, умножатся воды на небеси, воздвизаяй облаки от конец земли, молнию в дождь сотвори, изводяй свет от сокровищ Своих.
17 Each man has become foolish before his own knowledge. Each sculptor has been confounded by his own sculpture. For what he has formed of them is a lie, and there is no spirit in them.
Обуя всяк человек от разума, посрамися всяк слиятель от изваяний своих, яко ложная слияния его, и несть духа в них:
18 They are empty works, deserving of ridicule. In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
суетна суть дела и смеху достойна, в час посещения своего погибнут.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like their portion. For the One who made all things is his portion, and Israel is the scepter of his inheritance. The Lord of hosts is his name:
Не такова часть Иаковля, яко Сотворивый всяческая Той есть, (а Израиль) жезл достояния Его, Господь Вседержитель имя Его.
20 “For me, you strike together the instruments of war; and with you, I will strike together nations; and with you, I will scatter the kingdoms.
Сокрушаеши ты Мне сосуды бранныя, и Аз сокрушу в тебе языки и погублю в тебе царствия:
21 And with you, I will strike together the horse and his rider; and with you, I will strike together the chariot and its rider.
и избию в тебе кони и всадники их, и избию в тебе колесницы и вседающих на них:
22 And with you, I will strike together man and woman; and with you, I will strike together the old man and the boy; and with you, I will strike together the young man and the virgin.
и избию в тебе мужа и жену, и избию в тебе стара и отрока, и избию в тебе юношу и деву:
23 And with you, I will strike together the pastor and his flock; and with you, I will strike together the farmer and his yoke of oxen; and with you, I will strike together military leaders and civil leaders.
и избию в тебе пастыря и стада его, и избию в тебе орюща и работна скота его, и избию в тебе воеводы и правители.
24 And I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all their evil that they have done in Zion, before your eyes, says the Lord.
И воздам Вавилону и всем жителем Халдейским вся злобы их, яже сотвориша над Сионом пред очима вашима, глаголет Господь.
25 Behold, I am against you, you pestilent mountain, says the Lord, for you are corrupting the entire earth. And I will extend my hand over you, and I will roll you down from the rocks, and I will make you into a burning mountain.
Се, Аз на тя, горо смертоносная, глаголет Господь, растлевающая всю землю, и простру руку Мою на тя и извергу тя из каменей, и дам тя в гору сожженую:
26 And they will not take from you a stone for the corner, nor a stone for the foundations. Instead, you will be destroyed unto eternity,” says the Lord.
и не возмут от тебе камене во угл и камене во основание, яко потребишися во веки, глаголет Господь.
27 Lift up a sign in the land! Sound the trumpet among the nations! Sanctify the nations against her. Announce against her the kings of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Number against her Taphsar. Lead in the horse, like the stinging locust.
Воздвигните знамя на земли, вострубите трубою во языцех, освятите нань языки, возвестите нань царствам Араратским от Мене и Асханазеом: утвердите над ним стрельницы, возведите нань кони, яко акридов множество.
28 Sanctify the nations against her: the kings of Media, their military leaders, and all their civil leaders, and the entire land under their authority.
Возведите нань языки, царя Мидска и всея земли, воевод его и всех воев его и всея земли области его.
29 And the earth will be shaken and will be disturbed. For the plan of the Lord against Babylon will awaken, so that he may make the land of Babylon desolate and uninhabitable.
И потрясеся земля и смутися, зане воста на Вавилон умышление Господне, еже положити землю Вавилонску пусту и ненаселену.
30 The strong ones of Babylon have ceased to do battle. They have lived in fortresses. Their health has been devoured, and they have become like women. Her tabernacles have been set ablaze; her bars have been broken.
Оскудеша крепцыи Вавилонстии еже ратовати: сядут тамо во ограде, погибе храбрость их, и быша яко жены: пожжена суть селения, сотрены заворы его.
31 Runner will go forth to meet runner, and messenger will meet messenger, so as to tell the king of Babylon that his city has been captured, from one end to the other,
Гоняй во сретение текуща постигнет, и вестник сретит посла, да возвестит царю Вавилонску, яко взят бысть град его.
32 and that the fords were seized in advance, and that the marshes have been burned with fire, and that the men of war have been set in disarray.
От края прехождений его яти быша, и твердыни его зажжены огнем, и мужие его воинстии исходят.
33 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor. This is the time of her threshing. A little while longer, and the time of her harvest will arrive.”
Тако бо глаголет Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев: домове царя Вавилонскаго яко гумно зрело измлачени будут: еще мало, и приидет жатва его.
34 “Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has consumed me, has devoured me. He has made me like an empty vessel. He has swallowed me like a dragon. He has filled his belly with my tender ones, and he has cast me out.
Снеде мя, раздроби мя, прият мя тма тонка, Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский пожре мя, яко змий наполни чрево свое сладостию моею: и извергоша мя.
35 This iniquity is against me, and so my flesh is upon Babylon,” says the habitation of Zion. “And my blood is upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” says Jerusalem.
Труды мои и беды моя на Вавилон, речет живущая в Сионе, и кровь моя на живущыя в Халдеех, речет Иерусалим.
36 Because of this, thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will judge your case, and I will avenge your vengeance, and I will make her sea into a desert, and I will dry up her spring.
Сего ради тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз судити буду соперника твоего и отмщу отмщение твое, и пусто сотворю море его и изсушу потоки его.
37 And Babylon will become a tumult, the habitation of dragons, an astonishment, and a hissing, because there is no inhabitant.
И будет Вавилон в запустение, жилище змием, в чудо и позвиздание, понеже не будет живущаго.
38 They will roar together, like lions, they will shake their manes, like young lions.
Вкупе аки львы востанут и аки скимни львов.
39 In their heat, I will give them a drink, and I will inebriate them, so that they become drowsy, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and do not rise up, says the Lord.
В горячести их дам питие им и упою я, да спят и уснут сном вечным и не востанут, глаголет Господь.
40 I will lead them away, like lambs to the slaughter, and like rams with young goats.
И низведу я яко агнцы на заклание и яко овны с козлы.
41 How was Sesac captured, and how was the renowned one of all the earth seized? How has Babylon become an astonishment among the nations?
Како взяся Сесах, и ята слава всея земли? Како бысть во удивление Вавилон во языцех?
42 The sea has ascended over Babylon; she has been covered by the multitude of its waves.
Взыде на Вавилон море в шуме волн своих, и покрыся.
43 Her cities have become an astonishment, an uninhabited and desolate land, a land in which no one may live, nor may a son of man pass through it.
Быша гради его в запустение, земля безводна и пуста, земля, в нейже никтоже поживет, и ниже будет витати в нем сын человечь.
44 And I will visit against Bel in Babylon, and I will cast from his mouth what he has swallowed. And the nations will no longer flow together before him. For even the wall of Babylon will also fall.
И посещу на Вила в Вавилоне, и извергу то, еже поглоти, от уст его, и не соберутся вящше к нему языцы, зане и стены Вавилонския падут.
45 Go forth from her midst, my people, so that each one may save his life from the wrath of the fury of the Lord.
Изыдите от среды его, людие Мои, да спасет кийждо душу свою от гнева ярости Господни.
46 For otherwise, your heart may faint, and you may be afraid at the news that is heard in the land. And the news will arrive within a year, and after that year more news will arrive. And iniquity will be in the land, and one ruler will be over another ruler.
Да не когда умягчится сердце ваше, и убоитеся ради слуха, иже услышится на земли, и приидет в лето слышание, и по лете слышание, бедность и неправда на землю, и властелин на властелина.
47 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, when I will visit against the graven images of Babylon. And her entire land will be confounded, and all her slain will fall in her midst.
Сего ради, се, дние грядут, и посещу на изваяныя Вавилона: и вся земля его посрамится, и вси язвении его падут посреде его.
48 And the heavens and the earth, and all the things that are in them, will give praise over Babylon. For despoilers will approach her from the north, says the Lord.
И возвеселятся над Вавилоном небеса и земля и вся сущая в них: от полунощи бо приидут нань всегубителие, глаголет Господь:
49 And in the manner that Babylon has caused the slain to fall in Israel, so the slain of Babylon will fall over the entire earth.
и якоже сотвори Вавилон падати язвеным во Израили, тако в Вавилоне падут язвении всея земли.
50 You who have fled from the sword, approach, do not stand still. Remember from afar the Lord, and let Jerusalem rise up in your heart.
Избегшии меча, идите, не стойте: иже издалече, помяните Господа, и Иерусалим да взыдет на сердце ваше.
51 We have been confounded, for we heard reproach. Shame has covered our faces, for strangers have overwhelmed the holiness of the house of the Lord.
Посрамихомся, зане слышахом ругание наше, покры срамота лице наше, яко приидоша чуждии во святая наша в дом Господень.
52 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will visit against her graven images, and within all her land the wounded will groan.
Сего ради, се, дние грядут глаголет Господь, и посещу на изваяния его, и по всей земли его падут язвении.
53 If Babylon were to ascend to heaven, and establish her strength on high, her despoilers would go forth from me, says the Lord.”
Яко аще взыдет Вавилон на небо и аще утвердит на высоте крепость свою, от Мене приидут губителие его, глаголет Господь.
54 A voice of outcry from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
Глас вопля Вавилонска, и сотрение велико в земли Халдейстей:
55 For the Lord has despoiled Babylon, and he has perished the great voice from her. And their wave will make a sound like many waters. Their voice has uttered a noise.
яко погуби Господь Вавилона и сотре от него глас велий шумящь яко воды многи, даде в пагубу глас его:
56 For the despoiler has overwhelmed her, that is, Babylon, and her strong ones have been apprehended, and their bow has been weakened. For the Lord, the powerful revenger, will certainly repay.
яко прииде на Вавилон хищник, яти быша сильнии его, увяде лук их, яко Бог воздает им,
57 “And I will inebriate her leaders, and her wise ones, and her military rulers, and her civil rulers, and her strong ones. And they will sleep an everlasting sleep, and they will not awaken,” says the King: the Lord of hosts is his name.
Господь воздает ему воздаяние: и упоит князи его и мудрыя его, и воеводы его и вои его и сильныя его, и уснут сном вечным и не возбудятся, глаголет Царь, Господь Вседержитель имя Его.
58 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “That very wide wall of Babylon will be utterly overturned, and her exalted gates will be burned with fire, and the labors of the people will be as nothing, and the labors of the nations will be sent into the fire and will perish.”
Тако глаголет Господь Вседержитель: стена Вавилонска сия преширока, подкопанием подкопана будет, и врата его высока огнем сожжена будут, и будут трудитися людие вотще, и языцы в начале погибнут.
59 The word that Jeremiah, the prophet, instructed to Seraiah, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he traveled with king Zedekiah into Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was the leader of the prophets.
Слово, еже заповеда Господь Иеремии пророку, рещи Сарею сыну Нириину, сына Маассеова, егда иде от Седекии царя Иудина в Вавилон, в четвертое лето царства его: Сарей же бе началник даров.
60 And Jeremiah wrote in one book all the evil that was to overwhelm Babylon; all these words were written against Babylon.
И написа Иеремиа вся злая, яже имяху приити на Вавилон, во едину книгу вся словеса сия, яже писана суть на Вавилон. И рече Иеремиа к Сарею:
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: “When you will enter into Babylon, and you will see and read all these words,
егда внидеши в Вавилон, и узриши и прочтеши вся словеса сия, и речеши:
62 you will say: ‘O Lord, you have spoken against this place so that you may destroy it, so that there would not be anyone, from man even to beast, who may live in it, and so that it may be desolate forever.’
Господи, Ты рекл еси противу места сего погубити е, и да не будет живяй в нем от человека и до скота, и да будет в вечную пустыню:
63 And when you will have completed reading this book, you will tie a stone to it, and you will cast it into the midst of the Euphrates.
и будет, егда прочтеши книгу сию, привяжи к ней камень и вверзи ю посреде Евфрата и рцы:
64 And you will say: ‘So shall Babylon be submerged! And she will not rise up before the face of the affliction that I will lead over her. And she will be broken.’” The words of Jeremiah thus far.
тако потопится Вавилон и не востанет от лица зол, яже Аз наведу нань, и разорится. Даже до зде словеса Иеремиина.
