Jeremiah 5
1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in her broad places, if ye can find a man, if there is any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
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, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.
Живет Господь, глаголют, сего ради не во лжах ли кленутся?
3 O LORD, are not thy eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; 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 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment 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 go to the great men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
Пойду ко державным и возглаголю им, тии бо познаша путь Господень и суд Бога своего. И се, единодушно сии сокрушиша иго, расторгоша узы.
6 Therefore a lion from the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out from there shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and 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 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, then they committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in 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 were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed 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 upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; 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 denied 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 shall it be done to them.
пророцы наши быша на ветр, и слово Господне не бе в них, тако будет им.
14 Therefore thus saith the LORD 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 a mighty 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 as 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, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish with the sword thy fortified cities, in which thou didst trust.
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 Nevertheless 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, Why doeth the LORD our God all these things to us? then shalt thou answer them, As ye have forsaken me, and served foreign 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 this in the house of Jacob, and proclaim 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; who have eyes, and see not; who 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 by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though its waves 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 have a revolting and a rebellious heart; they have 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 rain, both the former and the latter, in its season: he reserveth to us the appointed weeks of 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 withheld good things from you.
Беззакония наша уклониша сия, и греси наши отринуша благая от нас.
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lie in wait, as he that setteth snares; 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 have become great, and have grown rich.
Аки клетка поставлена полна птиц, тако домы их полни лести: сего ради возвеличишася и обогатишася:
28 They have become fat, they shine: yea, they exceed the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they 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 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
Ужас и страшная содеяшася на земли:
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in its end?
пророцы пророчествоваша неправедная, и священницы восплескаша руками своими, и людие Мои возлюбиша таковая. И что сотворите в последняя сих?
