Jeremiah 38
1 And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,
И слыша Сафаниа сын Нафань и Годолиа сын Пасхоров, и Иоахал сын Селемиин и Фасхор сын Мелхиев словеса, яже Иеремиа глагола ко всем людем, глаголя:
2 Thus saith Jehovah: He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; and he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.
тако рече Господь: седяй во граде сем умрет мечем и гладом и мором, исходяй же ко Халдеем жив будет, и будет душа его на обретение, и жив будет.
3 Thus saith Jehovah: This city shall certainly be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, and he shall take it.
Яко тако рече Господь: преданием предастся град сей в руце силы царя Вавилонска, и возмет его.
4 And the princes said unto the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death; for why should he weaken the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking to them according to these words? for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
И рекоша царю: да умрет человек той, яко сей разслабляет руце мужей воюющих оставшихся во граде и руки всех людий, глаголя к ним по словесем сим: яко человек сей не проповедает людем сим мира, но токмо злая.
5 And king Zedekiah said, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not he that can do a thing against you.
И рече царь Седекиа: се, той в руках ваших. Понеже не можаше царь противу им.
6 Then they took Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the son of Hammelech, which was in the court of the guard, and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.
И взяша Иеремию и ввергоша его в ров Мелхиин, сына царева, иже бяше во дворе темничнем: и свесиша его ужами в ров, в рове же не бяше воды, но тина, и бяше в тине Иеремиа.
7 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon — now the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin,
И слыша Авдемелех Мурин, и той бяше во дворе цареве, яко ввергоша Иеремию в ров: царь же (в той час) седяше во вратех Вениаминих.
8 — and Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying,
И изыде Авдемелех от дому царева и рече ко царю глаголя:
9 My lord, O king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to the prophet Jeremiah, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he will die by reason of the famine in the place where he is; for there is no more bread in the city.
злосотворил еси, яже сотворил еси, убивая человека сего от лица глада, яко несть хлеба во граде ктому.
10 And the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
И повеле царь Авдемелеху, глаголя: поими с собою отсюду тридесять мужей и извлецы Иеремию из рова, да не умрет.
11 And Ebed-melech took the men under his order, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old shreds and worn-out clothes, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
И поят Авдемелех мужы, и прииде в дом царев подземный, и взя оттуду ветхи порты и ветхия ужы, и вверже я ко Иеремии в ров, и рече к нему:
12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put, I pray, [these] old shreds and rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
положи сия под ужы. И сотвори Иеремиа сице.
13 And they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and brought him up out of the dungeon; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
И извлекоша его ужами и изяша его из рова. И седе Иеремиа во дворе темничнем.
14 And king Zedekiah sent and took the prophet Jeremiah unto him, into the third entry that is in the house of Jehovah; and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing: hide nothing from me.
И посла царь, и призва к себе Иеремию в дом Аселисиль, иже в дому Господни. И рече ему царь: вопрошаю тя словесе (единаго), и не утай от мене словесе.
15 And Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare [it] unto thee, wilt thou not certainly put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me.
И рече Иеремиа царю: аще повем ти, то не смертию ли умориши мя? И аще совещаю ти, то не послушаеши мене.
16 And king Zedekiah swore secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, [As] Jehovah liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
И клятся ему царь, глаголя: жив Господь, иже сотвори нам душу сию, аще убию тя и аще предам тя в руце человек сих ищущих души твоея (на смерть).
17 And Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, Thus saith Jehovah the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If thou wilt freely go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thy house.
И рече ему Иеремиа: тако рече Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: аще изыдый изыдеши к воеводам царя Вавилонска, жива будет душа твоя, и град сей не пожжется огнем, и жив будеши ты и дом твой:
18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.
аще же не изыдеши ко князем царя Вавилонска, предастся град сей в руце Халдейсте, и пожгут его огнем, и ты не спасешися от руки их.
19 And king Zedekiah said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that have deserted to the Chaldeans, lest they give me over into their hand, and they mock me.
И рече царь Иеремии: аз опасение имам от Иудеев избежавших ко Халдеем, да не предадут мя (Халдее) в руце их, и поругаются ми.
20 And Jeremiah said, They shall not give [thee] over. Hearken, I beseech thee, unto the voice of Jehovah, in that which I speak unto thee; so shall it be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
И рече Иеремиа: не предадят тебе: послушай убо словесе Господня, еже аз глаголю тебе, и лучше ти будет, и жива будет душа твоя:
21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word which Jehovah hath shewn me:
и аще не восхощеши ты изыти, сие слово, еже сказа мне Господь:
22 Behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes; and they shall say, Thy familiar friends have set thee on, and have prevailed over thee; thy feet are sunk in the mire, they are turned away back.
и се, вся жены, оставшыяся в дому царя Иудина, изведутся ко князем царя Вавилонска: и тыя глаголаху: прельстиша тя и премогоша тя мужие мирницы твои, и ослабиша во поползновениих ногу твою и отвратишася от тебе:
23 And they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand; for thou shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon, and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.
и жены твоя и чада твоя изведут ко Халдеем, и ты не уцелееши, яко рукою царя Вавилонска ят будеши, и град сей пожжется.
24 And Zedekiah said unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
И рече ему царь: человек да не увесть словес сих, и да не умреши ты.
25 And if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; and what hath the king said unto thee?
И аще услышат князи, яко глаголах с тобою, и приидут к тебе и рекут ти: повеждь нам, что глагола к тебе царь? Не утай от нас, и не убием тебе: и что глагола к тебе царь?
26 then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.
И речеши им: повергох аз моление мое пред лицем царевым, яко да не возвратит мене в дом Ионафань, умрети ми тамо.
27 — And all the princes came to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. And they withdrew quietly from him; for the matter was not reported.
И приидоша вси князи ко Иеремии и вопросиша его. И поведа им по всем словесем сим, яже заповеда ему царь. И умолкнуша, яко несть слышано слово господне.
28 And Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.
И седяше Иеремиа во дворе темничнем, дондеже взяша Иерусалим.
