Jeremiah 18
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
Слово, еже бысть ко Иеремии от Господа, рекущее:
2 “Arise and go out to the potter's house, for I will have you hear my word there.”
востани и сниди в дом скудельничь, и тамо услышиши словеса Моя.
3 So I went out to the potter's house, and behold! The potter was working on the potter's wheel.
И снидох в дом скудельничь, и се, той творяше дело на каменех.
4 But the object of clay that he was molding was ruined in his hand, so he changed his mind and made another object that seemed good in his eyes to do.
И разбися сосуд, егоже той творяше от глины рукама своима: и паки той сотвори из него иный сосуд, якоже угодно во очию его творити.
5 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко мне, рекущее:
6 “Should I not be able to act like this potter with you, house of Israel?—this is Yahweh's declaration. Behold! Like clay in a potter's hand—that is how you are in my hand, house of Israel.
еда, якоже скудельник сей, не возмогу сотворити вас, доме Израилев? Рече Господь: се, якоже брение в руку скудельника, тако вы есте, доме Израилев, в руку Моею:
7 At one moment, I may proclaim something about a nation or a kingdom, that I will drive it out, tear it down, or destroy it.
наконец возглаголю на язык и на царство, да искореню их и разорю и расточу я:
8 But if the nation about which I have made that proclamation turns from its evil, then I will relent from the disaster that I was planning to bring upon it.
и аще обратится язык той от всех лукавств своих, то раскаюся о озлоблениих, яже помыслих сотворити им:
9 At another moment, I may proclaim something about a nation or a kingdom, that I will build it up or plant it.
и наконец реку на язык и царство, да возсозижду и насажду я,
10 But if it does evil in my eyes by not listening to my voice, then I will stop the good that I had said I would do for them.
и аще сотворят лукавая пред очима Моима, еже не послушати гласа Моего, то раскаюся о благих, яже глаголах сотворити им.
11 So now, speak to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and say, 'Yahweh says this: See, I am about to form disaster against you. I am about to devise a plan against you. Repent, each person from his wicked way, so your ways and your practices will bring good to you.'
И ныне рцы ко мужем Иудиным и обитателем Иерусалима, рекий: сия рече Господь: се, Аз творю на вас злая и мышлю на вас умышление: да обратится убо кийждо от пути своего лукаваго, и исправите пути вашя и умышления ваша.
12 But they will say, 'This is no use. We will act according to our own plans. Each one of us will do what his evil, stubborn heart desires.'
И рекоша: укрепимся, ибо по развращением нашым пойдем, и кийждо угодное сердца своего лукаваго сотворим.
13 Therefore Yahweh says this, 'Ask the nations, who has ever heard of such a thing as this? The virgin Israel has committed a horrible act.
Сего ради сия глаголет Господь: вопросите ныне языков, кто слыша сицевая страшная, яже сотвори зело дева Израилева?
14 Does the snow in Lebanon ever leave the rocky hills on its sides? Are the mountain streams coming from far away ever destroyed, those cold streams?
Еда оскудеют от камене сосцы, или снег от Ливана? Еда уклонится вода зелно ветром носимая?
15 Yet my people have forgotten me. They have made offerings to useless idols and been made to stumble in their paths; they have left the ancient paths to walk lesser paths.
Понеже забыша Мене людие Мои всуе жруще, и изнемогут на путех своих и на стезях вечных, еже взыти на стези не имущыя пути на хождение,
16 Their land will become a horror, an object of everlasting hissing. Everyone who passes by her will shudder and shake his head.
еже положити землю свою в запустение и во звиздание вечное: всяк, иже прейдет по ней, почудится и покивает главою своею:
17 I will scatter them before their enemies like an eastern wind. I will show them my back, and not my face, on the day of their disaster.'”
якоже ветр палящь разсею их пред враги их, хребет, а не лице покажу им в день погибели их.
18 So the people said, “Come, let us make plots against Jeremiah, since the law will never perish from the priests, or advice from the wise men, or words from the prophets. Come, let us attack him with our words and no longer pay attention to anything he proclaims.”
И рекоша: приидите и умыслим на Иеремию совет, ибо не погибнет закон от священника, ни совет от премудраго, ни слово от пророка: приидите и поразим его языком, и не вонмем всем словесем его.
19 Pay attention to me, Yahweh, and listen to the voice of my enemies.
Вонми, Господи, мне и услыши глас оправдания моего.
20 Will disaster from them really be my reward for being good to them? For they have dug a pit for me. Remember how I stood before you to speak for their welfare, to cause your fury to turn away from them.
Еда воздаются злая за благая? Яко глаголаша словеса на душу мою и мучителство свое сокрыша ми. Помяни стоявшаго мя пред Тобою, еже глаголати за них благая, да отвращу гнев Твой от них.
21 Therefore give their children over to famine, and give them to the hands of those who use the sword. So let their women become bereaved and widows, and their men be killed, and their young men killed by the sword in battle.
Сего ради даждь сыны их в глад и собери их в руце меча: да будут жены их безчадны и вдовы, и мужие их да будут убиени смертию, и юноши их да падут мечем на рати:
22 Let a distressed shout be heard from their houses, as you suddenly bring raiders against them. For they have dug a pit to capture me and have hidden traps for my feet.
да будет вопль в домех их: наведи на них разбойники внезапу, понеже совещаша слово, да имут мя, и сети скрыша на мя.
23 But you, Yahweh, you know all of their plans against me to kill me. Do not forgive their iniquities and sins. Do not wipe their sins away from you. Instead, let them be overthrown before you. Act against them in the time of your wrath.
Ты же, Господи, веси весь совет их на мя в смерть: да не очистиши беззакония их и грехов их от лица Твоего да не изгладиши: да будет болезнь их пред Тобою, и во время ярости Твоея сотвори им.
