Jeremiah 14
1 After there had been no rain [in Judah] for a long time, Yahweh gave me this message:
Господното слово, което дойде към Еремия за бездъждието:
2 [The people in] Judah are very distressed; people [are sitting] on the ground and mourning; [in all of] Jerusalem people are crying loudly.
Юда ридае, и людете в портите му са изнемощели; Седят на земя чернооблечени; И викът на Ерусалим се издигна.
3 The rich people send their servants to [wells] to get water, but [all] the wells are dry. The servants return with empty pitchers; they cover their heads [because they are ashamed and humiliated/disappointed and sad].
Големците му пращат подчинените си за вода; Те отиват при кладенците, но не намират вода; Връщат се с празните си съдове; Посрамват се и се смущават и покриват главите си.
4 The ground is extremely dry and cracked open because there has been no rain. The farmers are very worried, [so] they [also] cover their heads.
Понеже земята се пукна, Защото няма дъжд на земята, Затова орачите се посрамват, Покриват главите си.
5 Even the (does/female deer) abandon their newborn babies/fawns because there is no grass in the fields [for them to eat].
Още и кошутата ражда на полето И оставя рожбата си, понеже няма трева.
6 The wild donkeys stand on the barren hills, panting like [SIM] [thirsty] jackals/wolves. They become blind because there is no grass [to eat].
И дивите осли, като застават по голите височини, Задушават се за въздух като чакали; Очите им чезнат понеже няма трева.
7 [The people say], “Yahweh, we have turned away from you and sinned many times, and now we know that we are being punished because of our sins, but please help us in order that everyone can see that you are very great [MTY].
Господи, при все че беззаконията ни свидетелствуват против нас, Ти действувай заради името Си; Защото отстъпничествата ни са много; На тебе съгрешихме.
8 You are the one whom [we] Israelis confidently expect [to do good things for us] when we have [many] troubles/difficulties. So, why do you [not help us]? You act as though you are a stranger in our land, like you are someone who is staying here for only one night.
Надеждо на Израиля, Спасителю негов в скръбно време, Защо да си като пришълец в тая страна, И като пътник, отбил се да пренощува?
9 Are you also surprised [about the terrible things that are happening to us]? Why do you act like you are unable to save anyone, even though you are a strong warrior? Yahweh, you are [here] among us, and [others know that] we are your people, [so] do not abandon us!”
Защо да си като човек смаян, Като силен мъж, който не може да избави? Обаче Ти, Господи, си всред нас; Ние се наричаме с Твоето име; недей ни оставя.
10 And this is what Yahweh says to those people: “You love to wander away [from me]; you run [MTY] from one [idol] to another. Therefore, now I will no [longer] accept you, and I will punish you for your sins.”
Така казва Господ на тоя народ: Както обикнаха да се скитат, И не въздържаха нозете си, Така Господ не благоволи в тях; Сега ще си спомни беззаконието им, И ще накаже греховете им.
11 [Then] Yahweh said to me, “Do not pray for these people [any more].
И рече им Господ: Недей се моли за доброто на тия люде.
12 When they (fast/abstain from food in order to honor me), I will not pay any attention. When they bring [to me] their offerings [of animals] to be completely burned [on the altar] and their offerings of grain, I will not accept them. Instead, I will get rid of them by wars, by famines, and by diseases.”
Даже ако постят, не ще послушам вика им, И ако принесат всеизгаряния и приноси, Не ще благоволя в тях; Но ще ги довърша с нож, с глад, и мор.
13 Then I replied to him, “Yahweh [my] God, [their] prophets are telling the people that they will not experience wars [MTY] or famines. They are telling the people that you will surely allow us to have peace in our land [for many years].”
Тогава рекох: Уви, Господи Иеова! Ето, пророците казват на тях: Няма да видите нож, нито ще има глад у вас, Но ще ви дам сигурен мир на това място.
14 Yahweh replied to me, “Those prophets say that they are speaking what I tell them to say [MTY], but they are telling lies. I did not send them, [so] what they are saying is false. They say that they have received visions from me, and that they are telling things that I have revealed to them, but that is not true. They are saying foolish things that they have only thought of themselves.
Тогава ми рече Господ: Лъжливо пророкуват пророците в името Ми; Аз не съм ги пратил, нито им съм заповядал, Нито съм им говорил; Те ви пророкуват лъжливо видение, гадание, Суетата и измамата на своето сърце.
15 So this is what I say about those prophets who are predicting what will happen, saying that I told them those things: They are saying that we Israelis will not die from wars or famines, but I did not send those prophets. And they themselves will die from wars or from famines.
Затова, така казва Господ За пророците, които пророкуват в Моето име Без да съм ги изпратил, Но които казват: Нож и глад не ще има в тая страна, - С нож и с глад ще бъдат изтребени тия пророци.
16 And the people to whom they are predicting these things, they and their wives and their sons and their daughters, will [also die] from wars or from famines. [Their corpses will] be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem, and there will not be anyone to bury them. I will punish them like they deserve to be punished.
А людете, на които те пророкуват, Ще бъдат изхвърлени по ерусалимските улици, Загинали от глад и от нож; И не ще има кой да ги заравя, Тях и жените им, синовете им и дъщерите им; Защото ще излея върху тях собственото им зло.
17 [So, Jeremiah], tell this to them [about yourself]: ‘Day and night my eyes are full of tears. I cannot stop crying. I cry for my people, who are [very precious to me, as if they were] [MET] my daughters. I cry for them because they have been severely wounded; they have been severely crushed [DOU].
И ще им кажеш това слово: Нека ронят очите ми сълзи нощем и денем Без да престанат; Защото девицата, дъщерята на людете ми, Е поразена с голямо поразяване, с много люта рана.
18 If I go out into the fields, I see [corpses of] people who have been slaughtered by our enemies. If I walk along the streets of the city, I see [corpses of people who died] from hunger. The prophets and the priests travel through the land, preaching to people, but they do not know [what they are doing] (OR, [in a land] that they know nothing about).’”
Ако изляза на полето, Ето убитите с нож! И ако вляза в града, Ето изнемощелите от глад! Дори пророкът и свещеникът Обходиха земята, но не знаят какво да се направи.
19 [Then I prayed this]: “[Yahweh], have you completely rejected [the people of] Judah? Do you really despise [the people of] Jerusalem [MTY]? Why have you [RHQ] wounded us very badly, with the result that we will never be healed? We hoped that we would have peace, but there was no peace. We hoped that there would be a time when we would be healed, but all that we received were things that terrified us.
Отхвърлил ли си съвсем Юда? Погнусила ли се е душата Ти от Сион? Защо си ни поразил, та няма изцеление за нас? Очаквахме мир, но никакво добро не дойде, И време за изцеление, но, ето, смущение!
20 Yahweh, we admit/know that we are wicked people, and that our ancestors [also] did many wicked things. We have [all] sinned against you.
Признаваме, Господи, нечестието си, И беззаконието на бащите си, Защото сме Ти съгрешили.
21 But [Yahweh], in order that we may honor [MTY] you, do not despise/abandon us. Do not dishonor [the city where] [MTY] your glorious throne is. [Please] do not forget [us], and do not (break your agreement with us/stop doing what you agreed to do for us).
Заради името Си недей се погнусява от нас, Не опозорявай славния Си престол; Спомни си, не нарушавай завета Си с нас.
22 Those idols that [have been brought from] other nations certainly cannot [RHQ] bring rain [to us], and the sky certainly cannot [RHQ] cause rain to fall. Yahweh our God, you are the only one who can do things like that. So we will confidently expect you [to help us].”
Между идолите на народите има ли някой да дава дъжд? Или небето от себе си ли дава дъждове? Не си ли Ти, Който даваш, Господи, Боже наш? Затова, Тебе те чакаме, Защото Ти си сторил всичко това.
