< Nehemiah 9 >

1 Now in the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, with sackcloth, and dirt on them.
В день же двадесять четвертый месяца сего собрашася сынове Израилевы в посте и во вретищих, и персть на главах их.
2 The offspring of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners 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 They stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God a fourth part of the day; and a 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 Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani of the Levites stood up on the stairs, 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, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, “Stand up and bless the LORD your God from everlasting to everlasting! Blessed be your 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 You are the LORD, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.
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 You are the LORD, the God who chose Abram, brought him out of Ur of the Chaldees, gave 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 found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his offspring, and have performed your words, for you are 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 “You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red Sea,
и видел еси озлобление отец наших во Египте, и вопль их услышал еси на мори Чермнем,
10 and showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, against all his servants, and against all the people of his land, for you knew that they dealt proudly against them, and made a name for yourself, as it is today.
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 You divided the sea before them, so that they went through the middle of the sea on the dry land; and you cast their pursuers into the depths, 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, in a pillar of cloud you led them by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, 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 “You also came down on Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances 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 made known to them your holy Sabbath, and commanded them commandments, statutes, and a law, by Moses your servant,
и субботу святую Твою явил еси им, заповеди, повеления и закон повелел еси им рукою Моисеа раба Твоего:
15 and gave them bread from the sky for their hunger, and brought water out of the rock for them for their thirst, and commanded them that they should go in to possess the land which you had 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 behaved proudly, hardened their neck, didn’t listen to your commandments,
тии же и отцы наши возгордешася и ожесточиша выя своя и не послушаша заповедий Твоих,
17 and refused to obey. They weren’t mindful of your wonders that you did amongst them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and didn’t forsake them.
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 Yes, when they had made themselves a moulded calf, and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ and had committed awful blasphemies,
еще же сотвориша себе и телца слияна и рекоша: сии бози изведоша нас из Египта: и сотвориша раздражения велия:
19 yet you in your manifold mercies didn’t forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud didn’t depart from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither did 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 You gave also your good Spirit to instruct them, and didn’t withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave 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 “Yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing. Their clothes didn’t grow old, and their feet didn’t swell.
и четыредесять лет препитал еси их в пустыни, ничтоже им оскуде: одеяния их не состарешася, и сапози их не раздрашася:
22 Moreover you gave them kingdoms and peoples, which you allotted according to their portions. So they possessed the land of Sihon, even 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 You also multiplied their children as the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land concerning which you said 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 you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they pleased.
(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 They took fortified cities and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns dug out, vineyards, olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled, became fat, and delighted themselves in your 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 you, cast your law behind their back, killed your prophets that testified against them to turn them again to you, and they committed awful blasphemies.
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 you delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them. In the time of their trouble, when they cried to you, you heard from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviours who saved them out of the hands of their adversaries.
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 you; therefore you left them in the hands of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them; yet when they returned and cried to you, you heard from heaven; and many times you delivered them according to your 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 testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law. Yet they were arrogant, and didn’t listen to your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances (which if a man does, he shall live in them), turned their backs, stiffened 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 you put up with them, and testified against them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they would not listen. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples 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 in your manifold mercies you didn’t make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are 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 awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness, don’t let all the travail seem little before you that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, on our priests, on our prophets, on our fathers, and on all your 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 However you are just in all that has come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly.
и Ты праведен во всех, яже приидоша на нас, яко истину сотворил еси, мы же согрешихом:
34 Also our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies with which you testified 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 you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land which you gave before them. They didn’t turn 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 today, and as for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat its fruit and its good, 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 It yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins. Also they have power over our bodies and over our livestock, 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 Yet for all this, we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, and our priests, seal it.”
и во всех сих мы полагаем завет верен и пишем, и печатают вси началницы наши, левити наши и священницы наши.
