< Jeremiah 14 >

1 The Word of the Lord that came to Jeremias concerning the words of the drought.
И бысть слово Господне ко Иеремии о бездождии.
2 Judea hath mourned, and the gates thereof are fallen, and are become obscure on the ground, and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Рыдала Иудеа, и врата ея разрушишася, и отемнишася на земли, и вопль Иерусалима взыде.
3 The great ones sent their inferiors to the water: they came to draw, they found no water, they carried back their vessels empty: they were confounded and afflicted, and covered their heads.
И вельможи его послаша менших своих к воде: приидоша на кладязи и не обретоша воды, и отнесоша сосуды своя тщы: постыждени суть и посрамлени, и покрыша главы своя.
4 For the destruction of the land, because there came no rain upon the earth, the husbandmen were confounded, they covered their heads.
И дела земли оскудеша, яко не бяше дождя на землю: постыждени суть земледелцы, покрыша главы своя.
5 Yea, the hind also brought forth in the field, and left it, because there was no grass.
И еленицы на ниве родиша и оставиша, яко не бе травы.
6 And the wild asses stood upon the rocks, they snuffed up the wind like dragons, their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
Онагри сташа на камениих, браша в себе ветр яко змиеве, оскудеша очи их, яко не бе травы.
7 If our iniquities have testified against us, O Lord, do thou it for thy name’s sake, for our rebellions are many, we have sinned against thee.
Беззакония наша противусташа нам: Господи, сотвори нам ради имене Твоего, яко мнози греси наши пред Тобою, Тебе согрешихом.
8 O expectation of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble: why wilt thou be a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man turning in to lodge?
Ожидание Израилево, Господи, Спасителю наш во время скорби! Вскую яко пришлец еси на земли и яко путник укланяющься во виталище?
9 Why wilt thou be as a wandering man, as a mighty man that cannot save? but thou, O Lord, art among us, and thy name is called upon by us, forsake us not.
Еда будеши якоже человек спяй, или аки муж не могий спасти? Ты же в нас еси, Господи, и имя Твое призвано бысть на нас, не забуди нас.
10 Thus saith the Lord to his people, that have loved to move their feet, and have not rested, and have not pleased the Lord: He will now remember their iniquities, and visit their sins.
Сия глаголет Господь людем сим: возлюбиша подвизати нозе свои и не упокоишася, и Бог не благопоспеши в них, ныне воспомянет беззакония их и посетит грехи их.
11 And the Lord said to me: Pray not for this people for their good.
И рече Господь ко мне: не молися о людех сих во благо:
12 When they fast I will not hear their prayers: and if they offer holocausts and victims, I will not receive them: for I will consume them by the sword, and by famine, and by the pestilence.
егда поститися будут, не услышу прошения их, и аще принесут всесожжения и жертвы, не благоволю в них: яко мечем и гладом и мором Аз скончаю их.
13 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, the prophets say to them: You shall not see the sword, and there shall be no famine among you, but he will give you true peace in this place.
И рекох: сый Господи Боже, се, пророцы их прорицают и глаголют: не узрите меча, и глад не будет вам, но истину и мир дам на земли и на месте сем.
14 And the Lord said to me: The prophets prophesy falsely in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, nor have I spoken to them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination and deceit, and the seduction of their own heart.
И рече Господь ко мне: лживо пророцы прорицают во имя Мое, не послах их, ни заповедах им, ни глаголал есмь к ним: понеже видения лжива и гадания и волшебства и произволы сердца своего тии прорицают вам.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophecy in my name, whom I did not send, that say: Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
Сего ради сия глаголет Господь о пророцех, иже пророчествуют во имя Мое ложная, и Аз не послах их, иже глаголют: мечь и глад не будет на земли сей: смертию лютою умрут и гладом скончаются пророцы тии.
16 And the people to whom they prophecy, shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword, and there shall be none to bury them: they and their wives, their sons and their daughters, and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.
И людие, имже тии пророчествуют, будут извержени на путех Иерусалима от лица меча и глада, и не будет погребаяй их, и жены их и сынове их и дщери их, и излию на них злая их.
17 And thou shalt speak this word to them: Let my eyes shed down tears night and day, and let them not cease, because the virgin daughter of my people is afflicted with a great affliction, with an exceeding grievous evil.
И речеши к ним слово сие: да изведут очи ваши слезы день и нощь, и да не престанут, яко сотрением великим сотрена (дева) дщерь людий моих и язвою злою зело.
18 If I go forth into the fields, behold the slain with the sword: and if I enter into the city, behold them that are consumed with famine. The prophet also and the priest are gone into a land which they knew not.
Аще изыду на поле, и се, заклани мечем: и аще вниду во град, и се, истаявшии гладом: яко пророк и священник отидоша в землю, еяже не ведяху.
19 Hast thou utterly cast away Juda, or hath thy soul abhorred Sion? why then hast thou struck us, so that there is no healing for us? we have looked for peace, and there is no good: and for the time of healing, and behold trouble.
Еда отмещущь отвергл еси Иуду, и от Сиона отступи душа Твоя? Вскую поразил еси нас, и несть нам изцеления? Ждахом мира, и не бяху благая: времене уврачевания, и се, боязнь.
20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, the iniquities of our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
Познахом, Господи, грехи нашя, беззакония отец наших, яко согрешихом пред Тобою.
21 Give us not to be a reproach, for thy name’s sake, and do not disgrace in us the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
Престани ради имене Твоего, не погуби престола славы Твоея: воспомяни, не разори завета Твоего иже с нами.
22 Are there any among the graven things of the Gentiles that can send rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou the Lord our God, whom we have looked for? for thou hast made all these things.
Еда есть во изваянных языческих, иже дождит? Или небеса могут дати влагу свою? Не Ты ли еси, Господи Боже наш? И пождем Тебе, Господи, Ты бо сотворил еси вся сия.
