Jeremiah 5
1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh truth; and I will pardon her.
Обыдите пути Иерусалимския и воззрите, и познайте и поищите на стогнах его, аще обрящете мужа творящаго суд и ищуща веры: и милосерд буду ему, глаголет Господь.
2 And though they say: 'As the LORD liveth', surely they swear falsely.
Живет Господь, глаголют, сего ради не во лжах ли кленутся?
3 O LORD, are not Thine eyes upon truth? Thou hast stricken them, but they were not affected; Thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction; they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
Господи, очи Твои (зрят) на веру: бил еси их, и не поболеша, сокрушил еси их, и не восхотеша прияти наказания: ожесточиша лица своя паче камене и не хотеша обратитися.
4 And I said: 'Surely these are poor, they are foolish, for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the ordinance of their God;
Аз же рех: негли убози суть (и буии), того ради не возмогоша, яко не уведаша пути Господня и суда Бога своего.
5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they know the way of the LORD, and the ordinance of their God.' But these had altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bands.
Пойду ко державным и возглаголю им, тии бо познаша путь Господень и суд Бога своего. И се, единодушно сии сокрушиша иго, расторгоша узы.
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest doth slay them, a wolf of the deserts doth spoil them, a leopard watcheth over their cities, every one that goeth out thence is torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, their backslidings are increased.
Сего ради порази их лев от дубравы, и волк даже до домов погуби их, и рысь бдяше над градами их: вси исходящии от них будут яти, яко умножиша нечестия своя, укрепишася во отвращениих своих.
7 Wherefore should I pardon thee? The children have forsaken Me, and sworn by no-gods; and when I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the harlots' houses.
О чем от сих милосерд буду тебе? Сынове твои оставиша Мя и кляшася теми, иже не суть бози: насытих их, и прелюбодействоваша и в домех блудниц обиташа,
8 They are become as well-fed horses, lusty stallions; every one neigheth after his neighbour's wife.
кони женонеистовни сотворишася, кийждо ко жене искренняго своего ржаше.
9 Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD; and shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Еда о сих не посещу? Рече Господь: или языку сицевому не мстит душа Моя?
10 Go ye up into her rows, and destroy, but make not a full end; take away her shoots; for they are not the LORD'S.
Взыдите на стены его и разорите, окончания же не сотворите: оставите подпоры его, яко Господни суть.
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against Me, saith the LORD.
Преступлением бо преступил есть на Мя дом Израилев и дом Иудин глаголет Господь.
12 They have belied the LORD, and said: 'It is not He, neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine;
Солгаша Господу своему и рекоша: не суть сия, ниже приидут на нас злая и меча и глада не узрим:
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them; thus be it done unto them.'
пророцы наши быша на ветр, и слово Господне не бе в них, тако будет им.
14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts: Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make My words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
Сего ради тако глаголет Господь Сил: занеже глаголали есте слово сие, се, Аз даю словеса Моя во уста твоя огнь, и люди сия древа, и пояст их.
15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD; it is an enduring nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
Се, Аз наведу на вас язык издалеча, доме Израилев, рече Господь, язык сильный, язык старый, егоже языка не увеси, (ни уразумееши, что глаголет):
16 Their quiver is an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
тул его яко гроб отверст, вси крепцыи и поядят жатву вашу
17 And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, they shall eat up thy sons and thy daughters, they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds, they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall batter thy fortified cities, wherein thou trusteth, with the sword.
и хлебы вашя, и поядят сынов ваших и дщерей ваших, и снедят овец ваших и телцев ваших, и поядят винограды вашя и смокви вашя и масличия ваша, и сокрушат грады вашя твердыя, на нихже вы уповасте, мечем.
18 But even in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
Обаче во днех онех, глаголет Господь Бог твой, не сотворю вас во истребление.
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say: 'Wherefore hath the LORD our God done all these things unto us?' then shalt Thou say unto them: 'Like as ye have forsaken Me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.'
И будет, егда речете: почто сотвори Господь Бог наш нам сия вся? И речеши к ним: яко остависте Мя и послужисте богом чуждим в земли вашей, тако послужите богом чуждим в земли не вашей.
20 Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, and announce it in Judah, saying:
Возвестите сия дому Иаковлю и слышано сотворите в дому Иудине (рекуще):
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding, that have eyes, and see not, that have ears, and hear not:
слышите сия, людие буии и не имущии сердца, иже, имеюще очи, не видите, и ушы, и не слышите:
22 Fear ye not Me? saith the LORD; Will ye not tremble at My presence? Who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, an everlasting ordinance, which it cannot pass; and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it.
Мене ли не убоитеся? Рече Господь: или от лица Моего не устыдитеся? Иже положих песок предел морю, заповедь вечну, и не превзыдет его, и возмутится и не возможет: и возшумят волны его, и не прейдут того.
23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted, and gone.
Людем же сим бысть сердце непослушно и непокориво, и уклонишася и поидоша,
24 Neither say they in their heart: 'Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth the former rain, and the latter in due season; that keepeth for us the appointed weeks of the harvest.'
и не рекоша в сердцы своем: убоимся Господа Бога нашего, дающаго нам дождь ранний и поздный во время исполнения повеления жатвы и хранящаго нам.
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good from you.
Беззакония наша уклониша сия, и греси наши отринуша благая от нас.
26 For among My people are found wicked men; they pry, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.
Яко обретошася в людех Моих нечестивии, и сети поставиша, еже погубити мужы, и уловиша.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit; therefore they are become great, and waxen rich;
Аки клетка поставлена полна птиц, тако домы их полни лести: сего ради возвеличишася и обогатишася:
28 They are waxen fat, they are become sleek; yea, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they might make it to prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
утыша и утолстеша и преступиша словеса Моя злейшии: прю вдовицы не судиша, суда сира не управиша и суда убогим не судиша.
29 Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD; Shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Еда сих ради не посещу? Рече Господь: или языку сицевому не отмстит душа Моя?
30 An appalling and horrible thing is come to pass in the land:
Ужас и страшная содеяшася на земли:
31 The prophets prophesy in the service of falsehood, and the priests bear rule at their beck; and My people love to have it so; What then will ye do in the end thereof?
пророцы пророчествоваша неправедная, и священницы восплескаша руками своими, и людие Мои возлюбиша таковая. И что сотворите в последняя сих?
