Nehemiah 9
1 Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.
В день же двадесять четвертый месяца сего собрашася сынове Израилевы в посте и во вретищих, и персть на главах их.
2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
И отлучишася сынове Израилевы от всякаго сына чужда, и исповедаху грехи своя и беззакония отец своих.
3 And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.
И сташа на стоянии своем и чтоша в книзе закона Господа Бога своего четверицею в день, и бяху исповедающеся Господеви и покланяющеся Господу Богу своему.
4 Then stood upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice to the LORD their God.
И сташа на степени левитов Иисус и сынове Кадмиили, Саханиа сын Саравиин, сынове Ханани, и возопиша гласом великим ко Господу Богу своему,
5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
и рекоша левити, Иисус и Кадмиил: востаните, благословите Господа Бога нашего от века даже до века: и благословят имя славы Твоея, и вознесут во всяцем благословении и хвале.
6 Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are in it, the seas, and all that is in them, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
И рече Ездра: Ты еси Сам Господь един, Ты сотворил еси небо и небо небесе и вся вои их, землю и вся, елика на ней суть, моря и вся, яже в них, и Ты оживляеши вся, и вои небеснии покланяются Тебе:
7 Thou art the LORD the God, who chose Abram, and broughtest him forth from Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
Ты еси Господь Бог, ты избрал еси Аврама и извел еси его от страны Халдейския, и положил еси имя ему Авраам,
8 And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:
и обрел еси сердце его верно пред Тобою, и завещал еси с ним завет дати ему землю Хананейску и Хеттейску, и Аморрейску и Ферезейску, и Иевусейску и Гергесейску, и семени его: и утвердил еси словеса Твоя, яко праведен еси:
9 And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;
и видел еси озлобление отец наших во Египте, и вопль их услышал еси на мори Чермнем,
10 And didst show signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.
и дал еси знамения и чудеса во Египте на фараона и на вся рабы его и на вся люди земли его: познал бо еси, яко возгордешася на них, и сотворил еси Себе имя, якоже день сей:
11 And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
и море расторгл еси пред ними, и проидоша посреде моря по суху, и гонители их ввергл еси в глубину, яко камень в воде зелней:
12 Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way in which they should go.
и в столпе облачне водил еси их во дни и в столпе огненне в нощи, еже осветити им путь, по немуже идоша:
13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
и на гору Синайскую сшел еси, и глаголал еси к ним с небесе, и дал еси им судбы правы и закон истинный, повеления и заповеди благи:
14 And madest known to them thy holy sabbath, and didst command them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:
и субботу святую Твою явил еси им, заповеди, повеления и закон повелел еси им рукою Моисеа раба Твоего:
15 And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and didst promise them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.
хлеб же с небесе дал еси им во алчбе их в пищу им, и воду из камене извел еси им в жажди их, и рекл еси им, да внидут и наследят землю, на нюже простерл еси руку Твою дати им:
16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
тии же и отцы наши возгордешася и ожесточиша выя своя и не послушаша заповедий Твоих,
17 And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst perform among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.
и не восхотеша слышати, и не воспомянуша чудес Твоих, яже сотворил еси им: и ожесточиша выю свою, и даша начало возвратитися на работу свою во Египет: Ты же, Боже, милостив и щедр, долготерпелив и многомилостив, и не оставил еси их:
18 Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;
еще же сотвориша себе и телца слияна и рекоша: сии бози изведоша нас из Египта: и сотвориша раздражения велия:
19 Yet thou in thy great mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.
Ты же в щедротах Твоих многих не оставил еси их в пустыни, столп облачный не уклонил еси от них во дни, еже наставити их на путь, и столп огненный в нощи, еже осветити им путь по немуже идоша,
20 Thou gavest also thy good Spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.
и Дух Твой благ дал еси, еже научити их, и манны Твоея не лишил еси от уст их, и воду дал еси им в жажди их,
21 Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes did not wear out, and their feet swelled not.
и четыредесять лет препитал еси их в пустыни, ничтоже им оскуде: одеяния их не состарешася, и сапози их не раздрашася:
22 Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
и дал еси им царства, и люди разделил еси им, и наследиша землю Сиона царя Есевонска и землю Ога царя Васанска:
23 Their children also didst multiply thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou didst promise to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.
и умножил еси сыны их яко звезды небесныя, и ввел еси их в землю, о нейже глаголал еси отцем их внити и наследити ю:
24 So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou didst subdue before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.
(и внидоша сынове их) и наследиша землю: и сокрушил еси пред ними обитающих в земли Хананейстей, и дал еси их в руку их, и цари их и люди земли, да сотворят им якоже угодно пред ними:
25 And they took strong cities, and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all goods, dug wells, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they ate, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.
и взяша грады высокия, и одержаша домы полны всех благих, кладязи ограждены камением, винограды и маслины и всяко древо снедное во множество, и ядоша и насытишася, и утолстеша и разширишася во благости Твоей велицей:
26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets who testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.
и изменишася и отступиша от Тебе, и повергоша закон Твой созади плоти своея, и пророки Твоя избиша, иже засвидетелствоваху им, да обратятся к Тебе, и сотвориша хулы велики:
27 Therefore thou didst deliver them into the hand of their enemies, who distressed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried to thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy great mercies thou gavest them deliverers, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.
и дал еси их в руку оскорбляющих я, и озлобиша их: и во бремя печали своея возопиша к Тебе, и Ты с небесе Твоего услышал еси, и по щедротам Твоим многим дал еси им спасителей, и спасл еси их от рук враг их:
28 But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore thou leftest them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried to thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;
и егда упокоишася, возвратишася сотворити лукавое пред Тобою: и оставил еси их в руках враг их, и обладаша ими: и паки возопиша к Тебе, Ты же от небесе услышал еси, и избавил еси их в щедротах Твоих мнозех,
29 And didst testify against them, that thou mightest bring them again to thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not to thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man doeth, he shall live in them; ) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
и засвидетелствовал еси им, да обратятся к закону Твоему: они же возгордешася и не послушаша, но в заповедех Твоих и в судбах Твоих согрешиша, яже сотворив человек жив будет в них: и даша плещы непокоривыя, и выю свою ожесточиша, и не послушаша:
30 Yet many years didst thou forbear over them, and didst testify against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not listen: therefore thou gavest them into the hand of the people of the lands.
и продолжил еси на них лета многа, и засвидетелствовал еси им Духом Твоим и рукою пророк Твоих, и не вняша, и предал еси их в руку людий земных:
31 Nevertheless for thy great mercies’ sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
в милосердиих же Твоих многих не сотворил еси их в скончание, ниже оставил еси их, яко Бог силен еси и милостив и щедр:
32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.
и ныне, Боже наш крепкий, великий, державный и страшный, храняй завет Твой и милость Твою, да не явится мал пред Тобою всяк труд, иже обрете нас и цари нашя, и началники нашя и священники нашя, и пророки нашя и отцы нашя и вся люди Твоя, от дний царей Ассурских и даже до дне сего:
33 But thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:
и Ты праведен во всех, яже приидоша на нас, яко истину сотворил еси, мы же согрешихом:
34 Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened to thy commandments and thy testimonies, with which thou didst testify against them.
и царие наши и началницы наши, и священницы наши и отцы наши не сотвориша закона Твоего и не внимаша повелением Твоим и свидением Твоим, имиже засвидетелствовал еси им,
35 For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and rich land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
и тии во царствии Твоем и во благостыни Твоей мнозе, юже дал еси им, и в земли широцей и тучней, юже дал еси пред ними, не послужиша Тебе и не отвратишася от начинаний своих лукавых:
36 Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest to our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good of it, behold, we are servants in it:
се, мы днесь есмы раби, и земля, юже дал еси отцем нашым ясти плод ея и благая ея, се, есмы раби на ней:
37 And it yieldeth much increase to the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
и плоды ея мнози царем, имже предал еси нас за грехи нашя, и телесы нашими владычествуют и скоты нашими, якоже угодно им, и в печали велицей есмы:
38 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, set their seals to it.
и во всех сих мы полагаем завет верен и пишем, и печатают вси началницы наши, левити наши и священницы наши.
