Jeremiah 4
1 "If you will return, Israel," says Jehovah, "if you will return to me, and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight; then you shall not be removed;
Аще обратишися, Израилю, глаголет Господь, ко Мне обратися: и аще отимеши мерзости твоя от уст твоих, и от лица Моего убоишися,
2 and you shall swear, 'As Jehovah lives,' in truth, in justice, and in righteousness. The nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory."
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 For thus says Jehovah to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, "Break up your fallow ground, and do not sow among thorns.
Сия бо глаголет Господь мужем Иудиным и обитателем Иерусалимлим: поновите себе поля и не сейте на тернии:
4 Circumcise yourselves to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
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 Declare in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, 'Blow the trumpet in the land.' Cry aloud and say, 'Assemble yourselves. Let us go into the fortified cities.'
Возвестите во Иудеи, и да услышится во Иерусалиме: глаголите, воспойте трубою на земли, возопийте зело и рцыте: соберитеся, и внидем во грады тверды.
6 Set up a standard toward Zion. Flee for safety. Do not wait; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction."
Воздвигше (знамение) бежите в Сион, потщитеся, не стойте, яко злая Аз навожду от севера и сотрение велико.
7 A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place, to make your land desolate, that your cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.
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 For this clothe yourself with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of Jehovah hasn't turned back from us.
О сих препояшитеся во вретища и плачите и рыдайте, яко не отвратися гнев ярости Господни от вас.
9 "It shall happen at that day," says Jehovah, "that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the officials; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder."
И будет в день той, глаголет Господь, погибнет сердце царево и сердце началников, и священницы ужаснутся, и пророцы удивятся.
10 Then I said, "Ah, Lord Jehovah. Surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, 'You shall have peace;' whereas the sword reaches to the heart."
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 shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, "A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse;
Во время оно речется людем сим и Иерусалиму: дух заблуждения в пустыни, путь дщере людий Моих, не ко очищению, ниже во святое:
12 a full wind from these shall come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against them."
дух исполнения от сих приидет Мне, и ныне Аз возглаголю суды Моя к ним.
13 Look, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us. For we are ruined.
Се, яко облак взыдет, и яко вихрь колесницы его, быстрее орлов кони его: горе нам, яко бедствуем.
14 Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?
Омый от лукавства сердце твое, Иерусалиме, да спасешися: доколе будут в тебе помышления бед твоих?
15 For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Ephraim:
Глас бо возвещающаго от Дана приидет, и слышана будет болезнь от горы Ефремли.
16 "Tell the nations; look, publish against Jerusalem, 'Besiegers come from a far country, and raise their voice against the cities of Judah.
Рцыте языком: се, приидоша: возвестите во Иерусалиме: полцы идут от земли дальния и даша на грады Иудины глас свой,
17 As keepers of a field, they are against her all around, because she has been rebellious against me,'" says Jehovah.
аки стражы селнии быша над ним окрест: яко пренебрегл Мя еси, глаголет Господь.
18 "Your way and your doings have brought these things to you. This is your wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reaches to your heart."
Пути твоя и начинания твоя сотвориша тебе сия: сие лукавство твое, понеже горько, яко прикоснуся сердцу твоему.
19 My anguish, my anguish. I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I can't hold my peace; because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
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 Destruction on destruction is proclaimed; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment.
сотрение (на сотрение) призывается, понеже опустела вся земля, внезапу опусте жилище мое, расторгошася кожы моя.
21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Доколе зрети имам бежащих, слышащь гласы трубныя?
22 "For my people are foolish, they do not know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."
Понеже вождеве людий Моих Мене не познаша: сынове буии суть и безумни, мудри суть, еже творити злая, благо же творити не познаша.
23 I saw the earth, and, look, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Воззрех на землю, и се, ничтоже, и на небо, и не бе света его.
24 I saw the mountains, and look, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.
Видех горы, и трепетаху, и вси холми возмутишася.
25 I saw, and look, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled.
Воззрех, и се, не бе человека, и вся птицы небесныя ужасахуся.
26 I saw, and look, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of Jehovah; before his fierce anger they were destroyed.
Видех, и се, Кармил пуст, и вси гради сожжени огнем от лица Господня, и от лица гнева ярости Его погибоша.
27 For thus says Jehovah, "The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.
Сия глаголет Господь: пуста будет вся земля, скончания же не сотворю.
28 For this the earth will mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not relented, neither will I turn back from it."
О сих да плачет земля, и да помрачится небо свыше: понеже глаголах, и не раскаюся: устремихся и не отвращуся от него.
29 Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers; they go into caves, and they hide themselves in the thickets, and climb up on the rocks; every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells in it.
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, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, though you dress yourselves with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain do you make yourself beautiful; your lovers despise you, they seek your life.
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 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, "Woe is me now. For my soul faints before the murderers."
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.
