Jeremiah 51
1 This is what the Lord says: Look! I'm going to stir up a destructive wind against Babylon and against the people of Babylonia.
Тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз воздвигну на Вавилон и на живущыя Халдеи ветр зноен губителный:
2 I will send foreign soldiers to attack Babylon to winnow her and turn her country into a wasteland—they will attack her from all directions when her time of trouble comes.
и послю на Вавилон ругатели, и студно поругаются ему и истлят землю его: понеже горе на Вавилон окрест в день озлобления его.
3 The archer doesn't need to use his bow; the infantryman doesn't need to put on his armor. Don't spare her young soldiers; set apart her whole army for destruction!
Да наляцает наляцаяй лук свой, и да облечется в броня своя, и не пощадите юнош его, и побийте все воинство его.
4 They will fall down wounded in her streets, killed in the country of Babylonia.
И падут избиеннии в земли Халдейстей и язвеннии во странах ея.
5 Israel and Judah have not been deserted by their God, the Lord Almighty, even though they sinned against the Holy One of Israel everywhere in their country.
Понеже не овдове Израиль и Иуда от Бога Своего, от Господа Вседержителя, яко земля их наполнися неправды от Святых Израилевых.
6 Escape from Babylon! Run for your lives! Don't get caught up in her punishment and die, for this is the time when the Lord pays her back for her sins.
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 Once Babylon was a golden cup the Lord held in his hand. She made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine which is why they went mad.
Чаша златая Вавилон в руце Господни, напаяющи всю землю, от вина его пиша (вси) языцы, сего ради потрясошася.
8 Now, all of a sudden, Babylon has fallen. She has been smashed to pieces. Weep for her; get her some treatment for her pain. Maybe she can be healed.
Внезапу паде Вавилон и сокрушися: плачите по нем, возмите масти к болезни его, да изцелится.
9 “We tried to heal her, but she couldn't be helped. So give up on her! All of us should go home to where we came from. The news of her punishment has reached everywhere, all the way to heaven.
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 encouraged and supported us. Come on, let's tell people here in Jerusalem what the Lord has done for us!”
Изнесе Господь суд Свой: приидите и возвестим в Сионе дела Господа Бога нашего.
11 Sharpen the arrows! Pick up the shields! The Lord has encouraged the kings of the Medes, because his plan is directed at the destruction of Babylon. The Lord is paying them back for what happened to 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 Raise the signal flag to attack the walls of Babylon; strengthen the guard; have the watchmen take their places; get the ambush ready. The Lord planned and carried out his threats against the people 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 people who live beside by many waters, and have so much wealth, this is the time of your end—your life will be cut short.
живый над водами многими и богат в сокровищих своих: прииде конец твой истинно во утробы твоя.
14 The Lord Almighty vowed by his own life, saying, I'm going to make sure to fill you with so many enemy soldiers they'll be like locusts. They will shout as they celebrate their victory over you.
Клятся бо Господь Сил мышцею Своею, яко наполню тебе людьми, якоже акридами, и возгласят над тобою низходящии.
15 It was God who made the earth by his power. He created the world by his wisdom and by his understanding he put the heavens in place.
Господь сотворивый землю в силе Своей и устроивый вселенную в мудрости Своей, и разумением Своим распростре небеса,
16 The waters of the heavens rain down with a roar at his command. He makes the clouds to rise all over the earth. He makes lightning to accompany rain, and sends the 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 Everyone is stupid; they don't know anything. Every metalworker is embarrassed by the idols they make. For their images made of molten metal are fraudulent—they're not alive!
Обуя всяк человек от разума, посрамися всяк слиятель от изваяний своих, яко ложная слияния его, и несть духа в них:
18 They are useless, an object to be laughed at. They will be destroyed at the time of their punishment.
суетна суть дела и смеху достойна, в час посещения своего погибнут.
19 The God of Jacob is not like these idols, for he is the creator of everything, including his own people that are special to him. The Lord Almighty is his name.
Не такова часть Иаковля, яко Сотворивый всяческая Той есть, (а Израиль) жезл достояния Его, Господь Вседержитель имя Его.
20 You are my war club, the weapon I use in battle. I use you to destroy nations; I use you to destroy kingdoms.
Сокрушаеши ты Мне сосуды бранныя, и Аз сокрушу в тебе языки и погублю в тебе царствия:
21 I use you to destroy horses and their riders; I use you to destroy chariots and their drivers.
и избию в тебе кони и всадники их, и избию в тебе колесницы и вседающих на них:
22 I use you to destroy men and women; I use you to destroy old men and youths; I use you to destroy young men and girls.
и избию в тебе мужа и жену, и избию в тебе стара и отрока, и избию в тебе юношу и деву:
23 I use you to destroy shepherds and their flocks; I use you to destroy farmers and their cattle; I use you to destroy rulers and state officials.
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 Right in front of you I'm going to pay back Babylon and everyone who live in Babylonia for all the evil they did to Jerusalem, declares the Lord.
И воздам Вавилону и всем жителем Халдейским вся злобы их, яже сотвориша над Сионом пред очима вашима, глаголет Господь.
25 Watch out, because I am against you, you destructive monster who devastates the whole world, declares the Lord. I will reach out to attack you; I will roll you down the cliffs; I will turn you into a mountain of ash.
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 Nobody will be even able to find themselves a cornerstone or a foundation stone among your ruins, because you will be so utterly destroyed, declares the Lord.
и не возмут от тебе камене во угл и камене во основание, яко потребишися во веки, глаголет Господь.
27 Raise a signal flag in the country! Blow the trumpet call to war among the nations! Get the nations ready to attack her; Summon the kingdoms to march against her: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Choose a commander to lead the armies to attack her; send into battle cavalry like a swarm of locusts.
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 Have the armies of the nations prepare for battle against her. This applies to the kings of the Medes, their leaders and all their officers, and every country they rule.
Возведите нань языки, царя Мидска и всея земли, воевод его и всех воев его и всея земли области его.
29 The earth quakes and trembles because the Lord is determined to carry out what he threatened against Babylon—to turn Babylonia into a wasteland where no one lives.
И потрясеся земля и смутися, зане воста на Вавилон умышление Господне, еже положити землю Вавилонску пусту и ненаселену.
30 Babylon's defenders have given up fighting—they're just sitting in their fortresses. They're worn out; they've become like frightened women. Babylon's houses are burning; the bars securing her gates have been smashed.
Оскудеша крепцыи Вавилонстии еже ратовати: сядут тамо во ограде, погибе храбрость их, и быша яко жены: пожжена суть селения, сотрены заворы его.
31 A runner hands his message over to another to carry; one messenger follows another messenger, all of them alerting the king of Babylon to the news that his city has been completely conquered,
Гоняй во сретение текуща постигнет, и вестник сретит посла, да возвестит царю Вавилонску, яко взят бысть град его.
32 the river crossings have been captured, the marshlands set on fire and his soldiers are panicking.
От края прехождений его яти быша, и твердыни его зажжены огнем, и мужие его воинстии исходят.
33 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: The people of Babylon are like a threshing floor when the grain is trampled out. Her time of harvest will come very soon.
Тако бо глаголет Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев: домове царя Вавилонскаго яко гумно зрело измлачени будут: еще мало, и приидет жатва его.
34 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon chewed me up and sucked me dry, making me as empty as a jar with nothing in it. He swallowed me down as if he were some monster, filling himself with the tastiest parts of me and throwing the rest away.
Снеде мя, раздроби мя, прият мя тма тонка, Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский пожре мя, яко змий наполни чрево свое сладостию моею: и извергоша мя.
35 “Babylon must bear the responsibility for the violent attacks on us,” say the inhabitants of Zion. “The people of Babylonia must bear the responsibility for the blood shed in my city,” says Jerusalem.
Труды мои и беды моя на Вавилон, речет живущая в Сионе, и кровь моя на живущыя в Халдеех, речет Иерусалим.
36 This is what the Lord says: Watch as I present your case for you and make your enemies pay for what they did to you. I'm going to dry up her river and her springs.
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 Babylon will be turned into a pile of rubble, a home for jackals, a place that horrifies people, a place they jeer at, a place where no one lives.
И будет Вавилон в запустение, жилище змием, в чудо и позвиздание, понеже не будет живущаго.
38 The Babylonians will roar together like powerful lions and growl like lion cubs.
Вкупе аки львы востанут и аки скимни львов.
39 But while their passions are aroused, I will serve them a banquet and get them drunk. They'll celebrate so much that they'll pass out and won't ever wake up, declares 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 take them down like lambs to be slaughtered, like rams and goats.
И низведу я яко агнцы на заклание и яко овны с козлы.
41 How could it be? Babylon has fallen! The most famous city in the world has been conquered! What a horrible sight Babylon has become to everyone watching!
Како взяся Сесах, и ята слава всея земли? Како бысть во удивление Вавилон во языцех?
42 It's as if the sea has flooded over Babylon, covering her in crashing waves.
Взыде на Вавилон море в шуме волн своих, и покрыся.
43 The towns of Babylonia are in ruins, turned into a dry desert wasteland where no one lives—no one even passes by.
Быша гради его в запустение, земля безводна и пуста, земля, в нейже никтоже поживет, и ниже будет витати в нем сын человечь.
44 I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will force him to spit out what he swallowed. People of other nations won't run to worship him anymore. Even Babylon's wall has fallen.
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 My people, come out of her! Each one of you, save yourselves from the Lord's furious anger.
Изыдите от среды его, людие Мои, да спасет кийждо душу свою от гнева ярости Господни.
46 Don't lose courage, and don't be afraid when you hear different rumors going around the country. There'll be one rumor one year, and another one the next, talking about violent revolution, of one ruler fighting against another.
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 Look, the time is coming when I will punish Babylon's idols. The whole country will be humiliated; it will be full of the dead bodies of those who have been killed.
Сего ради, се, дние грядут, и посещу на изваяныя Вавилона: и вся земля его посрамится, и вси язвении его падут посреде его.
48 Then everyone in heaven and on earth will celebrate with shouts of joy at what's happened to Babylon, because the destroyers from the north will come and attack her, declares the Lord.
И возвеселятся над Вавилоном небеса и земля и вся сущая в них: от полунощи бо приидут нань всегубителие, глаголет Господь:
49 Babylon has to fall because of the Israelites and people of other nations she killed.
и якоже сотвори Вавилон падати язвеным во Израили, тако в Вавилоне падут язвении всея земли.
50 Those of you who have managed to escape being killed, leave now! Don't delay! Remember the Lord in this far away place; think about Jerusalem.
Избегшии меча, идите, не стойте: иже издалече, помяните Господа, и Иерусалим да взыдет на сердце ваше.
51 “We are embarrassed because we've been mocked, and we held our heads in shame because foreigners went into the holy places of the Lord's Temple,”
Посрамихомся, зане слышахом ругание наше, покры срамота лице наше, яко приидоша чуждии во святая наша в дом Господень.
52 So keep watching, declares the Lord, because the time is coming when I will punish her for worshiping idols, and the sound of wounded people moaning will be heard throughout the country.
Сего ради, се, дние грядут глаголет Господь, и посещу на изваяния его, и по всей земли его падут язвении.
53 Even if Babylon could climb up into the sky to strengthen her high fortresses, those I send to attack her will destroy her, declares the Lord.
Яко аще взыдет Вавилон на небо и аще утвердит на высоте крепость свою, от Мене приидут губителие его, глаголет Господь.
54 A cry comes from Babylon; the noise of terrible destruction comes from the country of Babylonia.
Глас вопля Вавилонска, и сотрение велико в земли Халдейстей:
55 For the Lord is going to destroy Babylon; he will put an end to her boastful talk. The waves of attacking army will roar like the crashing sea; the noise of their shouts will echo all around.
яко погуби Господь Вавилона и сотре от него глас велий шумящь яко воды многи, даде в пагубу глас его:
56 A destroyer is coming to attack Babylon. Her soldiers will be taken prisoner, and their bows will be smashed, for the Lord is a God who punishes fairly; he will definitely pay them back.
яко прииде на Вавилон хищник, яти быша сильнии его, увяде лук их, яко Бог воздает им,
57 I will make her leaders and wise men drunk, along with her commanders, officers, and soldiers. Then they will pass out, and won't ever wake up, declares the King, whose name is the Lord Almighty.
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 This is what the Lord Almighty says: Babylon's massive walls will be knocked down to the ground and her high gates burned. All that the people worked for will be for nothing; other nations who came to help will wear themselves out, only to see what they've done go up in flames.
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 This is the message that Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, when he accompanied King Zedekiah of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of Zedekiah's reign. Seraiah was the king's personal assistant.
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 Jeremiah had written on a scroll a description of all the disasters that would come to Babylon—all these words written here about 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 Jeremiah told Seraiah, “When you arrive in Babylon, make sure you read out loud everything written here,
егда внидеши в Вавилон, и узриши и прочтеши вся словеса сия, и речеши:
62 and announce, ‘Lord, you have promised to destroy this place so that none will be left—no people or animals. In fact it will be deserted 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 After you finish reading this scroll out loud, tie a stone to it and throw it into the Euphrates.
и будет, егда прочтеши книгу сию, привяжи к ней камень и вверзи ю посреде Евфрата и рцы:
64 Then say, ‘This is how Babylon will sink and won't ever rise again, because of the disaster I'm bringing down on her. Her people will grow tired.’” This is the end of Jeremiah's messages.
тако потопится Вавилон и не востанет от лица зол, яже Аз наведу нань, и разорится. Даже до зде словеса Иеремиина.
