Jeremiah 4
1 Israel, if you want to come back, then come back to me, declares the Lord. If you get rid of these disgusting idols I see, and don't wander away,
Аще обратишися, Израилю, глаголет Господь, ко Мне обратися: и аще отимеши мерзости твоя от уст твоих, и от лица Моего убоишися,
2 and if when you make your vows, you do so only to me, sincerely, truly, and honestly, then the nations will be blessed by me, and they will praise me.
и кленешися, живет Господь, во истине и в суде и в правде, и благословят в Нем языцы и в Нем восхвалят Бога во Иерусалиме.
3 This is what the Lord is saying to the people of Judah and Jerusalem: Plow your unplowed ground, and don't sow among the thorns.
Сия бо глаголет Господь мужем Иудиным и обитателем Иерусалимлим: поновите себе поля и не сейте на тернии:
4 Dedicate yourselves to the Lord; be totally committed to him, people of Judah and Jerusalem. Otherwise, my anger will blaze like fire, burning so hard that no one can put it out because of the evil you've done.
обрежитеся Богу вашему и обрежите жестосердие ваше, мужие Иудины и обитающии во Иерусалиме, да не изыдет яко огнь ярость Моя, и возгорится, и не будет угашаяй, ради лукавства начинаний ваших.
5 Announce this warning throughout Judah and Jerusalem! Tell them: Blow the trumpet everywhere in the country! Shout out, “Hurry! Let's run to the fortified towns for protection!”
Возвестите во Иудеи, и да услышится во Иерусалиме: глаголите, воспойте трубою на земли, возопийте зело и рцыте: соберитеся, и внидем во грады тверды.
6 Raise the danger flag; go to Zion! Find somewhere safe! Don't hesitate! I'm bringing enemies from the north who will cause terrible destruction.
Воздвигше (знамение) бежите в Сион, потщитеся, не стойте, яко злая Аз навожду от севера и сотрение велико.
7 A lion has left his hiding place; a destroyer of nations has started out. He has left his den to come and turn your country into a wasteland. Your towns will be demolished, and no one will live there.
Взыде лев от ложа своего, и погубляяй языки воздвижеся и изыде от места своего, да положит землю твою в пустыню, и гради твои разорятся, оставшии без обитателей.
8 Wear clothes made of sackcloth, weep and wail, crying out, “The Lord's furious anger against us hasn't stopped.”
О сих препояшитеся во вретища и плачите и рыдайте, яко не отвратися гнев ярости Господни от вас.
9 When that happens declares the Lord, the king and officials will lose heart, the priests will be devastated, and the prophets will be shocked.
И будет в день той, глаголет Господь, погибнет сердце царево и сердце началников, и священницы ужаснутся, и пророцы удивятся.
10 Then I said, “Oh, Lord God, you have completely fooled the people of Jerusalem by telling them, ‘You will have peace,’ while holding a sword to our throats.”
И рекох: о, Владыко Господи, еда обольстил еси люди сия и Иерусалима, рекий: мир будет вам? И се, пройде мечь даже до души их.
11 At that time the people of Jerusalem will be told, “A burning wind from the bare hills of the desert is blowing toward the Jerusalem, but not to blow away the chaff or the dust.
Во время оно речется людем сим и Иерусалиму: дух заблуждения в пустыни, путь дщере людий Моих, не ко очищению, ниже во святое:
12 No, this wind is too strong for that, and it comes from me. Now I'm also going to tell them how I will punish them.”
дух исполнения от сих приидет Мне, и ныне Аз возглаголю суды Моя к ним.
13 Look, he's rushing in like stormclouds; his chariots are like a whirlwind. His horses fly faster than eagles. “What a disaster! We're ruined!”
Се, яко облак взыдет, и яко вихрь колесницы его, быстрее орлов кони его: горе нам, яко бедствуем.
14 Clean the evil from your heart, Jerusalem, so that you can be saved. How long will you hold onto your evil thoughts?
Омый от лукавства сердце твое, Иерусалиме, да спасешися: доколе будут в тебе помышления бед твоих?
15 News is shouted out from Dan, announcing disaster from the hills of Ephraim.
Глас бо возвещающаго от Дана приидет, и слышана будет болезнь от горы Ефремли.
16 “Let the nations know! Look what's happening! Announce this to Jerusalem: An army is coming to besiege you from a distant country; shouting war-cries against the towns of Judah.
Рцыте языком: се, приидоша: возвестите во Иерусалиме: полцы идут от земли дальния и даша на грады Иудины глас свой,
17 They encircle her like men guarding a field, because she has rebelled against me, declares the Lord.
аки стражы селнии быша над ним окрест: яко пренебрегл Мя еси, глаголет Господь.
18 You've brought this on yourself by your own attitudes and actions. This is your punishment, and it's so painful, it's like being stabbed in the heart!”
Пути твоя и начинания твоя сотвориша тебе сия: сие лукавство твое, понеже горько, яко прикоснуся сердцу твоему.
19 “I'm in agony, absolute agony! My heart is breaking! It's beating wildly in my chest! My heart pounds within me; I can't keep quiet because I've heard the trumpet, the signal for battle.
Чрево мое, чрево мое болит мне, и чувства сердца моего, смущается душа моя, терзается сердце мое: не умолчу, яко глас трубы услышала душа моя, вопль рати и беды:
20 News of one disaster after another comes flooding in, for the whole country is in ruins. My own home is destroyed in a moment, and everything inside.
сотрение (на сотрение) призывается, понеже опустела вся земля, внезапу опусте жилище мое, расторгошася кожы моя.
21 How long do I have to see the flags of war and hear the trumpets of battle?”
Доколе зрети имам бежащих, слышащь гласы трубныя?
22 “My people are stupid; they don't know me. They are foolish children who just don't understand. They're experts at doing evil, but they don't know how to do good.”
Понеже вождеве людий Моих Мене не познаша: сынове буии суть и безумни, мудри суть, еже творити злая, благо же творити не познаша.
23 I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; I looked to the heavens, and its light was gone.
Воззрех на землю, и се, ничтоже, и на небо, и не бе света его.
24 I looked at the mountains, and saw that they were shaking; all the hills were swaying to and fro.
Видех горы, и трепетаху, и вси холми возмутишася.
25 I looked, and nobody was left; all the birds had flown away.
Воззрех, и се, не бе человека, и вся птицы небесныя ужасахуся.
26 I looked, and the productive fields were a desert. All the towns were demolished because of the Lord's furious anger.
Видех, и се, Кармил пуст, и вси гради сожжени огнем от лица Господня, и от лица гнева ярости Его погибоша.
27 This is what the Lord says: “The whole country will be devastated, but I won't do so completely.
Сия глаголет Господь: пуста будет вся земля, скончания же не сотворю.
28 The earth will mourn and the heavens above will go dark. I have spoken; this is what I have ordered. I'm not going to stop or change my mind.”
О сих да плачет земля, и да помрачится небо свыше: понеже глаголах, и не раскаюся: устремихся и не отвращуся от него.
29 People from every town: run away when they hear the enemy horsemen and archers coming. They hide in the forest and among the rocks. All the towns are abandoned; no one lives in them.
От гласа яздящих и напряженна лука побеже всяка страна: внидоша в разселины и в дубравы сокрышася и на камение взыдоша: вси гради оставлени суть, не обитает в них человек.
30 You, Jerusalem, now desolate, what are you going to do? Even though you dress in scarlet clothes, and put on gold jewelry, and paint your eyes with make-up, all your dressing-up is pointless! Your lovers hate you; they want to kill you!
Ты же, запустелая, что сотвориши? Аще облечешися во багряницу и украсишися монисты златыми, аще намажеши стивием очи твои, всуе украшение твое: отринуша тя любовницы твои, души твоея ищут.
31 I hear the cries like a woman in labor, the agonizing moans of a woman giving birth to her first child. These are the cries of the Daughter of Zion gasping for air, holding out her hands, saying, “Please help me, I'm being murdered!”
Глас бо яко родящия слышах стенания твоего: аки первородящия глас дщере Сиони истает, и опустит руце свои: горе мне, яко изчезает душа моя над убиенными.
