Nehemiah 9
1 Then, on the twenty-fourth day of the same month, the sons of Israel came together in fasting and in sackcloth, and with soil upon them.
В день же двадесять четвертый месяца сего собрашася сынове Израилевы в посте и во вретищих, и персть на главах их.
2 And the offspring of the sons of Israel were separated from all the sons of foreigners. And they stood up, and they confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.
И отлучишася сынове Израилевы от всякаго сына чужда, и исповедаху грехи своя и беззакония отец своих.
3 And they arose to stand. And they read in the volume of the law of the Lord their God, four times in the day, and four times they confessed. And they adored the Lord their God.
И сташа на стоянии своем и чтоша в книзе закона Господа Бога своего четверицею в день, и бяху исповедающеся Господеви и покланяющеся Господу Богу своему.
4 Then, upon the step of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, and Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani rose up. And they cried out in a great voice to the Lord their God.
И сташа на степени левитов Иисус и сынове Кадмиили, Саханиа сын Саравиин, сынове Ханани, и возопиша гласом великим ко Господу Богу своему,
5 And the Levites, Jeshua and Kadmiel, Bunni, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said: “Rise up. Bless the Lord your God, from eternity even to eternity! And blessed be the exalted name of your glory, with all blessing and praise.
и рекоша левити, Иисус и Кадмиил: востаните, благословите Господа Бога нашего от века даже до века: и благословят имя славы Твоея, и вознесут во всяцем благословении и хвале.
6 You yourself alone, O Lord, made heaven, and the heaven of the heavens, and all their host, the earth and all things that are in it, the seas and all things that are in them. And you gave life to all these things. And the host of heaven adores you.
И рече Ездра: Ты еси Сам Господь един, Ты сотворил еси небо и небо небесе и вся вои их, землю и вся, елика на ней суть, моря и вся, яже в них, и Ты оживляеши вся, и вои небеснии покланяются Тебе:
7 You yourself, O Lord God, are the One who chose Abram. And you led him away from the fire of the Chaldeans, and you gave him the name Abraham.
Ты еси Господь Бог, ты избрал еси Аврама и извел еси его от страны Халдейския, и положил еси имя ему Авраам,
8 And you found his heart to be faithful before you. And you formed a covenant with him, so that you might give to him the land of the Canaanite, of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Perizzite, and of the Jebusite, and of the Girgashite, so that you might give it to his offspring. And you have fulfilled your words, for you are just.
и обрел еси сердце его верно пред Тобою, и завещал еси с ним завет дати ему землю Хананейску и Хеттейску, и Аморрейску и Ферезейску, и Иевусейску и Гергесейску, и семени его: и утвердил еси словеса Твоя, яко праведен еси:
9 And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt. And you heard their outcry beside the Red Sea.
и видел еси озлобление отец наших во Египте, и вопль их услышал еси на мори Чермнем,
10 And you gave signs and portents to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to the people of his land. For you knew that they acted arrogantly against them. And you made a name for yourself, just as it is in this day.
и дал еси знамения и чудеса во Египте на фараона и на вся рабы его и на вся люди земли его: познал бо еси, яко возгордешася на них, и сотворил еси Себе имя, якоже день сей:
11 And you divided the sea before them, and they crossed through the midst of the sea on dry land. But their pursuers you cast into the depths, like a stone into great waters.
и море расторгл еси пред ними, и проидоша посреде моря по суху, и гонители их ввергл еси в глубину, яко камень в воде зелней:
12 And in the pillar of cloud, you were their leader by day, and in the pillar of fire, by night, so that they might see the way along which they might advance.
и в столпе облачне водил еси их во дни и в столпе огненне в нощи, еже осветити им путь, по немуже идоша:
13 You also descended to mount Sinai, and you spoke with them from heaven. And you gave them upright judgments, and the law of truth, and ceremonies, and good precepts.
и на гору Синайскую сшел еси, и глаголал еси к ним с небесе, и дал еси им судбы правы и закон истинный, повеления и заповеди благи:
14 You revealed to them your sanctified Sabbath, and you instructed them in commandments, and ceremonies, and the law, by the hand of Moses, your servant.
и субботу святую Твою явил еси им, заповеди, повеления и закон повелел еси им рукою Моисеа раба Твоего:
15 You also gave them bread from heaven in their hunger, and you brought forth water from the rock for them in their thirst. And you said to them that they should enter and possess the land, over which you lifted up your hand so that you might give it to them.
хлеб же с небесе дал еси им во алчбе их в пищу им, и воду из камене извел еси им в жажди их, и рекл еси им, да внидут и наследят землю, на нюже простерл еси руку Твою дати им:
16 Yet truly, they and our fathers acted arrogantly, and they hardened their necks, and they did not listen to your commandments.
тии же и отцы наши возгордешася и ожесточиша выя своя и не послушаша заповедий Твоих,
17 And they were not willing to hear, and they did not remember, your miracles which you had accomplished for them. And they hardened their necks, and they offered their head, so that they would return to their servitude, as if in contention. But you, a forgiving God, lenient and merciful, longsuffering and full of compassion, did not abandon them.
и не восхотеша слышати, и не воспомянуша чудес Твоих, яже сотворил еси им: и ожесточиша выю свою, и даша начало возвратитися на работу свою во Египет: Ты же, Боже, милостив и щедр, долготерпелив и многомилостив, и не оставил еси их:
18 Indeed, even when they had made for themselves a molten calf, and they had said, ‘This is your God, who led you away from Egypt!’ and had committed great blasphemies,
еще же сотвориша себе и телца слияна и рекоша: сии бози изведоша нас из Египта: и сотвориша раздражения велия:
19 even so, in the multitude of your mercies, you did not send them away in the desert. The pillar of cloud did not withdraw from them by day, so that it might lead them on the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, so that it might show them the way along which they might advance.
Ты же в щедротах Твоих многих не оставил еси их в пустыни, столп облачный не уклонил еси от них во дни, еже наставити их на путь, и столп огненный в нощи, еже осветити им путь по немуже идоша,
20 And you gave them your good Spirit, so that he might teach them, and you did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and you gave them water in their thirst.
и Дух Твой благ дал еси, еже научити их, и манны Твоея не лишил еси от уст их, и воду дал еси им в жажди их,
21 For forty years, you fed them in the desert, and nothing was lacking to them; their garments did not grow old, and their feet were not worn down.
и четыредесять лет препитал еси их в пустыни, ничтоже им оскуде: одеяния их не состарешася, и сапози их не раздрашася:
22 And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, and you distributed to them by lot. And they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og, the king of Bashan.
и дал еси им царства, и люди разделил еси им, и наследиша землю Сиона царя Есевонска и землю Ога царя Васанска:
23 And you multiplied their sons like the stars of heaven. And you led them into the land, about which you had said to their fathers that they would enter and possess it.
и умножил еси сыны их яко звезды небесныя, и ввел еси их в землю, о нейже глаголал еси отцем их внити и наследити ю:
24 And the sons arrived and possessed the land. And you humbled the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, before them. And you delivered them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, so that they might do with them just as it was pleasing to them.
(и внидоша сынове их) и наследиша землю: и сокрушил еси пред ними обитающих в земли Хананейстей, и дал еси их в руку их, и цари их и люди земли, да сотворят им якоже угодно пред ними:
25 And so they seized fortified cities and fat soil. And they possessed houses filled with all kinds of goods, cisterns made by others, vineyards, and olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. And they ate and were satisfied. And they were fattened, and they abounded with delights from your great goodness.
и взяша грады высокия, и одержаша домы полны всех благих, кладязи ограждены камением, винограды и маслины и всяко древо снедное во множество, и ядоша и насытишася, и утолстеша и разширишася во благости Твоей велицей:
26 But they provoked you to wrath, and they withdrew from you, and they cast your law behind their backs. And they killed your prophets, who contended with them so that they might return to you. And they committed great blasphemies.
и изменишася и отступиша от Тебе, и повергоша закон Твой созади плоти своея, и пророки Твоя избиша, иже засвидетелствоваху им, да обратятся к Тебе, и сотвориша хулы велики:
27 And so you gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they afflicted them. And in the time of their tribulation, they cried out to you, and from heaven you heard them. And in accord with your great compassion, you gave to them saviors, who might save them from the hand of their enemies.
и дал еси их в руку оскорбляющих я, и озлобиша их: и во бремя печали своея возопиша к Тебе, и Ты с небесе Твоего услышал еси, и по щедротам Твоим многим дал еси им спасителей, и спасл еси их от рук враг их:
28 But after they had rested, they turned back, so that they did evil in your sight. And you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, and they possessed them. And they converted, and they cried out to you. And from heaven you heeded them, and you freed them many times, by your mercies.
и егда упокоишася, возвратишася сотворити лукавое пред Тобою: и оставил еси их в руках враг их, и обладаша ими: и паки возопиша к Тебе, Ты же от небесе услышал еси, и избавил еси их в щедротах Твоих мнозех,
29 And you contended with them, so that they might return to your law. Yet truly, they acted in arrogance, and they did not listen to your commandments, and they sinned against your judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they withdrew from offering their shoulder, and they hardened their neck; neither would they listen.
и засвидетелствовал еси им, да обратятся к закону Твоему: они же возгордешася и не послушаша, но в заповедех Твоих и в судбах Твоих согрешиша, яже сотворив человек жив будет в них: и даша плещы непокоривыя, и выю свою ожесточиша, и не послушаша:
30 And you continued to forbear them for many years. And you contended with them by your Spirit, through the hand of your prophets. And they did not listen, and so you delivered them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
и продолжил еси на них лета многа, и засвидетелствовал еси им Духом Твоим и рукою пророк Твоих, и не вняша, и предал еси их в руку людий земных:
31 Yet in your very many mercies, you did not cause them to be consumed, nor did you abandon them. For you are a compassionate and lenient God.
в милосердиих же Твоих многих не сотворил еси их в скончание, ниже оставил еси их, яко Бог силен еси и милостив и щедр:
32 Now therefore, our great God, strong and terrible, who keeps covenant and mercy, may you not avert your face from all the hardship that has found us, we and our kings, and our leaders, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and all the people, from the days of king Assur, even to this day.
и ныне, Боже наш крепкий, великий, державный и страшный, храняй завет Твой и милость Твою, да не явится мал пред Тобою всяк труд, иже обрете нас и цари нашя, и началники нашя и священники нашя, и пророки нашя и отцы нашя и вся люди Твоя, от дний царей Ассурских и даже до дне сего:
33 For you are just, concerning all things that have overwhelmed us. For you have done truth, but we have acted impiously.
и Ты праведен во всех, яже приидоша на нас, яко истину сотворил еси, мы же согрешихом:
34 Our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our fathers have not done your law, and they have not been attentive to your commandments and your testimonies, to which you have testified among them.
и царие наши и началницы наши, и священницы наши и отцы наши не сотвориша закона Твоего и не внимаша повелением Твоим и свидением Твоим, имиже засвидетелствовал еси им,
35 And they have not served you, in their kingdoms and with your many good things, which you gave to them, and in the very wide and fat land, which you delivered into their sight, nor did they return from their most wicked pursuits.
и тии во царствии Твоем и во благостыни Твоей мнозе, юже дал еси им, и в земли широцей и тучней, юже дал еси пред ними, не послужиша Тебе и не отвратишася от начинаний своих лукавых:
36 Behold, we ourselves this day are servants. And the land, which you gave to our fathers so that they might eat its bread and have its good things, we ourselves are servants within it.
се, мы днесь есмы раби, и земля, юже дал еси отцем нашым ясти плод ея и благая ея, се, есмы раби на ней:
37 And its fruits are multiplied for the kings, whom you have set over us because of our sins. And they rule over our bodies, and over our cattle, according to their will. And we are in great tribulation.
и плоды ея мнози царем, имже предал еси нас за грехи нашя, и телесы нашими владычествуют и скоты нашими, якоже угодно им, и в печали велицей есмы:
38 Therefore, concerning all of these things, we ourselves are forming and writing a covenant, and our leaders, our Levites, and our priests are signing it.”
и во всех сих мы полагаем завет верен и пишем, и печатают вси началницы наши, левити наши и священницы наши.
