Jeremiah 46
1 This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
Слово, еже бысть ко Иеремии пророку от Господа на языки,
2 For Egypt: “This is about the army of Pharaoh Necho, king of Egypt that was at Carchemish by the Euphrates river. This was the army that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:
ко Египту противу силы фараона Нехао царя Египетскаго, иже бысть над рекою Евфратом во Кархамисе, егоже порази Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский, в лете четвертем Иоакима сына Иосиина, царя Иудина.
3 Get the small shields and the large shields ready, and go forward to fight.
Возмите оружие и щиты и идите на брань,
4 Put the harness on the horses; mount up on the horses and take your stand with your helmets on; polish the spears and put on your armor.
оседлайте кони и вседайте, всадницы, и станите во шлемех ваших, уставите копия и облецытеся в броня вашя.
5 What am I seeing here? They are filled with terror and are running away, for their soldiers are defeated. They are running for safety and are not looking back. Terror is all around—this is Yahweh's declaration—
Что убо видех их страшливых и хребты обращающих? Крепцыи их избити, побегоша скоро и не озрешася вспять, отвсюду страх, глаголет Господь.
6 the swift cannot run away, and the soldiers cannot escape. They stumble in the north and fall beside the Euphrates River.
Не утечет легкий, ниже возможет избавитися крепкий на полунощь: близ реки Евфрата побеждени суть и падоша.
7 Who is this who rises like the Nile, whose waters toss up and down like the rivers?
Кто есть той, иже яко река восходит, и яко реки воздвижутся волны его?
8 Egypt rises like the Nile, like rivers of water that rise and fall. Egypt says, 'I will go up and I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and their inhabitants.
Воды Египта аки река взыдут, и аки река восколеблются воды его. И рече: взыду и покрыю землю, и погублю град и живущыя в нем.
9 Go up, horses. Be angry, you chariots. Let the soldiers go out, Cush and Put, men skillful with a shield, and Ludim, men skillful at bending their bows.'
Возсядите на кони и устройте колесницы, изыдите, сильнии Муринстии, и Ливиане вооруженнии щитами, и Лидяне, взыдите наляцающе лук.
10 That day will be the day of vengeance for the Lord Yahweh of hosts, and he will avenge himself on his foes. The sword will devour and be satisfied. It will drink its fill of their blood. For there will be a sacrifice to the Yahweh Lord of hosts in the northern land by the Euphrates River.
День сей Господа Бога Вседержителя, день отмщения, да отмстит врагом Своим, и пожрет я мечь Господень и насытится и упиется кровию их, яко жертва Господу Вседержителю в земли полунощней, близ реки Евфрата.
11 Go up to Gilead and obtain medicine, virgin daughter of Egypt. It is useless that you put much medicine on yourself. There is no cure for you.
Взыди в Галаад и возми ритину, дево, дщи Египетска! Всуе умножила еси врачевания твоя, и цельбы несть тебе.
12 The nations have heard of your disgrace. The earth is filled with your laments, for soldier stumbles against soldier; both of them fall together.”
Услышаша языцы глас, и плачь твой наполни землю: яко сильный сретеся с сильным, и оба вкупе изнемогоста и падоста.
13 This is the word that Yahweh told Jeremiah the prophet when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came and attacked the land of Egypt:
Слово, еже глагола Господь ко Иеремии пророку о сем: яко име приити Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский и поразити землю Египетску.
14 “Announce in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpanhes. 'Take your station and prepare yourself, for the sword will devour those around you.'
Возвестите Египту и разгласите во Магдалу, и возопийте во Мемфисе и во Тафнасе поведите: стой и уготовися, яко пожрет мечь сия, яже окрест тебе суть.
15 Why are your mighty ones face-down on the ground? They will not stand, because I, Yahweh, have pushed them to the ground.
Почто убежа от тебе апис? Телец избранный твой не пребысть, яко Господь разруши его.
16 He increases the numbers of those who stumble. Each soldier falls against the next one. They are saying, 'Get up. Let us go home. Let us go back to our own people, to our native land. Let us leave this sword that is beating us down.'
И множество твое изнеможе и паде, и кийждо ко ближнему своему глаголаху: востаним и возвратимся к людем нашым и в землю рождения нашего от лица меча Еллинскаго.
17 They proclaimed there, 'Pharaoh the king of Egypt is only a noise, one who has let his opportunity slip away.'
Назовите имя фараона Нехао царя Египетска, смятение преведе время.
18 As I live—declares the King, whose name is Yahweh of hosts— someone will come like Mount Tabor and Mount Carmel by the sea.
Живу Аз, глаголет Царь, Господь Вседержитель имя Его: ибо, якоже Фавор на горах и якоже Кармель в мори, приидет.
19 Pack for yourselves baggage to carry into exile, you who live in Egypt. For Memphis will become a waste, it will lie in ruins and no one will live there.
Сосуды пленения сотвори себе, живущая дщи Египетска, яко Мемфис в запустение будет, и наречется, увы! И не будут в нем жити.
20 Egypt is a very beautiful young cow, but a stinging insect is coming from the north. It is coming.
Юница (избранна и) украшена Египет, разорение от полунощи прииде на ню,
21 The hired soldiers in her midst are like a fattened bull, but they will also turn away and run away. They will not stand together, for the day of their disaster is coming against them, the time of their punishment.
и наемницы его, живущии посреде его, якоже телцы тучнии питаеми в нем: зане и тии обратишася и побегоша вкупе, и не могоша стати, яко день погибели их прииде на ня и время отмщения их.
22 Egypt hisses like a snake and crawls away, for her enemies are marching against her. They are going toward her like woodcutters with axes.
Глас их, якоже змиа звиздающаго, понеже с силою пойдут, со секирами приидут на него.
23 They will cut down the forests—this is Yahweh's declaration—although it is very dense. For the enemies will be more numerous than locusts, unable to be counted.
Яко древие секуще посекут лес его, глаголет Господь Бог: ибо не может сочтен быти, яко умножишася паче пругов, и несть им числа.
24 The daughter of Egypt will be made ashamed. She will be given into the hand of people from the north.”
Посрамленна есть дщи Египетска и дана в руце людем полунощным.
25 Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says, “See, I am about to punish Amon of Thebes, Pharaoh, Egypt and her gods, her kings the Pharaohs, and those who trust in them.
Рече Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев: се, Аз посещу на Аммона сына ея, и на фараона и на Египет, и на боги его и на цари его, и на фараона и на уповающыя нань,
26 I am giving them into the hand of the ones seeking their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his servants. Then after this Egypt will be inhabited as in previous days—this is Yahweh's declaration.
и дам их в руце ищущих души их, и в руку Навуходоносора царя Вавилонска, и в руце слуг его: и посем поживут якоже и первее, глаголет Господь.
27 But you, my servant Jacob, do not fear. Do not be dismayed, Israel, for see, I am about to bring you back from far away, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Then Jacob will return, find peace, and be secure, and there will be no one to terrify him.
Ты же не убойся, рабе мой Иакове, ни устрашайся, Израилю: се бо, Аз тебе спасена сотворю издалеча и семя твое от земли пленения их: и возвратится Иаков и почиет и благоуспеет, и не будет устрашаяй его.
28 You, my servant Jacob, do not fear—this is Yahweh's declaration—for I am with you, so I will bring complete destruction against all the nations where I scattered you. But I will not destroy you completely. Yet I will discipline you justly and will certainly not leave you unpunished.”
Не бойся, рабе Мой Иакове, глаголет Господь, яко с тобою есмь Аз: яко сотворю скончание во всех языцех, в няже извергох тя, тебе же не сотворю оскудети, но накажу тя судом и обезвиняя не обезвиню тя.
