Книга пророка Иезекииля 20

1 И бысть в лето седмое, в пятый месяц, в десятый день месяца, приидоша мужие от старейшин дому Израилева вопросити Господа и седоша пред лицем моим.

On the tenth day of the fifth month of the seventh year, some of the elders of Israel came to ask advice from the Lord, and they sat down with me.

2 И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:

Then a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

3 сыне человечь, глаголи ко старейшинам дому Израилева и речеши к ним: тако глаголет Адонаи Господь: еда вопросити Мене вы приходите? Живу Аз, аще отвещаю вам, глаголет Адонаи Господь.

“Son of man, tell these elders of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: Have you come to ask my advice? As I live, I'm not going to answer you, declares the Lord God.

4 Аще отмщением отмщу им: сыне человечь, беззакония отец их засвидетелствуй им,

Are you going to condemn them—will you do that, son of man? Remind them about the disgusting things their forefathers did,

5 и речеши к ним: сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: от негоже дне избрах дом Израилев, и уведен бых племени дому Иаковля и познан бых им во земли Египетстей, и приях я рукою Моею глаголя: Аз Господь Бог ваш:

and then tell them that this is what the Lord God says: At the time I chose Israel, I held up my hand and made a solemn promise to Jacob's descendants and revealed myself to them when they were in Egypt. I held up my hand and told them, ‘I am the Lord your God.’

6 в той день подях я рукою Моею, еже извести я из земли Египетския в землю, юже уготовах им, землю кипящую млеком и медом, сот есть паче всех земель,

I promised them on that day to lead them out of Egypt and take them to a country that I had chosen for them, a land flowing with milk and honey—better than any other country.

7 и рекох к ним: кийждо мерзости от очес своих отвержите и во творениих Египетских не оскверняйтеся, Аз Господь Бог ваш.

I told them: ‘All of you have to get rid of your disgusting pagan images. Don't make yourselves unclean by worshiping the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’

8 И отвергошася Мене и не хотеша послушати Мя: кийждо мерзостей от очес своих не отвергоша и творений Египетских не оставиша. И рекох, еже излияти ярость Мою на ня и скончати гнев Мой на них среде земли Египетския.

But they rebelled against me and wouldn't do what I told them. None of them got rid of their disgusting pagan images, and they didn't give up worshiping the idols of Egypt. So I warned them that I would punish them in my anger there in Egypt.

9 И сотворих, яко да имя Мое весьма не осквернится пред языки, в нихже суть тии среде их, в нихже познан бых им пред лицем их, еже извести я из земли Египетския.

But I did act so I would not be misrepresented, so that I wouldn't lose respect in the eyes of the other nations living near them who had seen me reveal myself to Israel by leading them out of Egypt.

10 И изведох я из земли Египетския и введох я в пустыню,

So I led them out of Egypt and took them into the wilderness.

11 и дах им заповеди Моя, и оправдания Моя явих им, яже аще сотворит человек, жив будет в них:

There I gave them my laws and explained to them my regulations so that those who kept them would live.

12 и субботы Моя дах им, еже быти в знамение между Мною и между ими, еже разумети им, яко Аз Господь освящаяй их.

I also gave them my Sabbaths to be a sign between me and them, so that they would acknowledge that I am the Lord who makes them holy.

13 И глаголах ко дому Израилеву в пустыни: в заповедех Моих ходите и оправдания Моя сохраните, еже творити я, яже сотворит человек и жив будет в них. И разгнева Мя дом Израилев в пустыни: в заповедех бо Моих не ходиша и оправдания Моя отвергоша, яже сотворит человек и жив будет в них: и субботы Моя оскверниша зело. И рекох, еже излияти ярость Мою на ня в пустыни, еже потребити их.

But the people of Israel rebelled against me in the desert, refusing to observe my laws and rejecting my regulations, even though they would have given them life. They violated my Sabbaths. So I warned them that I would punish them and wipe them out there in the desert.

14 И сотворих, яко да весьма имя Мое не осквернится пред языки, из нихже изведох я пред очима их.

But I still acted for them so I would not be misrepresented, so that I wouldn't lose respect in the eyes of the other nations who had seen me lead Israel out of Egypt.

15 И Аз воздвигох руку Мою на ня в пустыни весьма, еже не ввести их в землю, юже дах им, в землю текущую млеком и медом, сот есть паче всея земли:

So I held up my hand and vowed to them in the desert that I wouldn't take them into the land that I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey—better than any other country—

16 понеже судбы Моя отвергоша и в заповедех Моих не ходиша, и субботы Моя оскверниша и вслед помышлений сердца своего хождаху.

because they repeatedly rejected my regulations, refused to observe my laws, and violated my Sabbaths, and because they chose to continue worshiping idols.

17 И пощаде я око Мое, еже потребити их, и не сотворих им скончания в пустыни.

Even so I was sorry for them and I didn't destroy them; I didn't wipe them out in the desert.

18 И рекох ко чадом их в пустыни: в законех отец ваших не ходите и оправданий их не храните, и ко творением Египетским не примешайтеся и не оскверняйтеся:

I told their children in the desert: ‘Don't do what your fathers told you to do. Don't follow their practices. Don't make yourselves unclean by worshiping their idols.

19 Аз Господь Бог ваш: в заповедех Моих ходите, и оправдания Моя снабдите и творите я,

I am the Lord your God. Do what I tell you to do. Follow my regulations and make sure to practice them.

20 и субботы Моя освящайте и будет в знамение между Мною и между вами, еже ведети вам, яко Аз Господь Бог ваш.

Keep my Sabbaths holy so they may be a sign between me and you, so that you may acknowledge that I am the Lord your God.’

21 И разгневаша Мя, и чада их в заповедех Моих не ходиша и оправданий Моих не снабдеша, еже творити я: сия бо сотворив человек жив будет в них: и субботы Моя оскверниша зело. И рекох: излию ярость Мою на ня, еже скончати гнев Мой на них в пустыни.

But their children also rebelled against me. They didn't follow my laws and didn't keep my regulations, even though they would have given them life. They violated my Sabbaths. So I warned them that I would punish them in my anger there in the desert.

22 И сотворих, яко да имя Мое весьма не осквернавится пред языки, от нихже изведох я пред очима их.

But I held back and did what I did so I would not be misrepresented, so that I wouldn't lose respect in the eyes of the other nations who had seen me lead Israel out of Egypt.

23 И Аз воздвигох руку Мою на ня в пустыни, еже расточити я во языцех и разсеяти я во странах,

However, I held up my hand and vowed to them in the desert that I was going to scatter them among the various countries of different nations.

24 понеже оправданий Моих не сотвориша и заповеди Моя отринуша и субботы Моя оскверниша, и вслед кумиров отец их быша очеса их.

For they didn't keep my regulations, instead they rejected my laws and violated my Sabbaths, always looking to worship their fathers' idols.

25 И дах им заповеди не добры и оправдания, в нихже не будут живи:

I also let them follow the regulations they wanted that weren't good; laws that wouldn't help them live.

26 и оскверню я в даяниих их, внегда проводити (им) всякое разверзающее ложесна, да погублю их, да уразумеют, яко Аз Господь.

I let them make themselves unclean by their offerings to idols, including their firstborn sons. I allowed this to happen so that they would be so appalled that they would acknowledge that I am the Lord.

27 Сего ради глаголи к дому Израилеву, сыне человечь, и речеши к ним: сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: даже до сего разгневаша Мя отцы ваши во гресех своих, имиже согрешиша ко Мне:

So, son of man, tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: You're acting in exactly the same way your forefathers insulted me by being unfaithful to me.

28 и введох я в землю, в нюже воздвигох руку Мою, еже дати ю им: и видеша всяк холм высок и всяко древо присенное, и пожроша тамо богом своим и учиниша тамо ярость даров своих, и положиша тамо воню благовония своего и возлияша тамо возлияния своя.

After I led them into the land that I had promised to give them, on any high hill or under any leafy tree they saw there they offered their pagan sacrifices and presented offerings to idols that made me angry, burning their sweet-smelling incense and pouring out their drink offerings.

29 И рекох к ним: что суть Аввама, яко вы входите тамо? И прозваша имя ему Аввама даже до днешняго дне.

So I asked them: ‘What's this high place you're going to?’ (Even today it's still called Bamah.)

30 Сего ради рцы к дому Израилеву: сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: аще во беззакониих отец ваших вы оскверняетеся и вслед мерзостей их вы соблуждаете,

Therefore tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: Are you going to make yourselves unclean like your forefathers, turning yourselves into prostitutes, acting the way they did with the same disgusting practices?

31 и в приношении даров ваших и в нароцех ваших, егда проходят чада ваша сквозе огнь: вы оскверняетеся во всех кумирех ваших даже до днешняго дне, и Аз отвещаю ли вам, доме Израилев? Живу Аз, глаголет Адонаи Господь, аще отвещаю вам и аще взыдет на дух ваш сие.

When you present your offerings to idols and sacrifice your children in the fire, you continue to make yourselves unclean with all your idols right up until now. So should I give you advice when you ask me, people of Israel? As I live, declares the Lord God, I'm not going to answer you!

32 И не будет, якоже вы глаголете: будем, якоже языцы и якоже племена земная, служити древу и камению.

When you say to yourselves, ‘Let's be like the other nations, like people in other countries who worship idols made of wood and stone,’ what you're thinking is never going to happen.

33 Сего ради живу Аз, глаголет Адонаи Господь, аще не рукою крепкою и мышцею высокою и в ярости излиянней царствовати буду над вами:

As I live, declares the Lord God, I will rule you with all my strength and power, and in my anger.

34 и изведу вы от людий и прииму вы от стран, в нихже бесте разсеяни, рукою крепкою и мышцею высокою и яростию излиянною,

With all my strength and power, and in my anger, I will lead you out from among the nations and gather you from the countries where you were scattered.

35 и приведу вас в пустыню людскую и разсуждуся с вами тамо лицем к лицу:

I will bring you before me for judgment face to face in the desert of the nations.

36 якоже судихся со отцы вашими в пустыни земли Египетския, тако сужду и вам, глаголет Адонаи Господь:

In the same way I judged your forefathers in the Egyptian desert after I'd led them out of Egypt, so I will judge you, declares the Lord God.

37 и проведу вы под жезлом моим и введу вы в числе завета,

I will decide about you as you pass under the rod and see if you kept our solemn agreement.

38 и изберу от вас нечестивыя и отвергшыяся: из земли бо обитания их изведу я, и в землю Израилеву не внидут, и познаете, яко Аз Господь Бог.

I will get rid of those of you who rebel against me, those who sin against me. I will lead them out of the country where they're currently living, but they won't enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

39 Вы же, доме Израилев, сице глаголет Адонаи Господь: кийждо кумиры своя отимите, и потом аще послушаете Мене, и имене Моего святаго не осквернавите ксему в дарех ваших и рукотворениих ваших:

This is what the Lord God says to you, you people of Israel: All of you, go ahead and worship your idols. But after that if you don't listen to me you won't continue to disgrace me with your pagan offerings and idols.

40 понеже на горе Моей святей, на горе высоце Израилеве, глаголет Адонаи Господь, тамо послужат Ми весь дом Израилев до конца на земли, и тамо прииму я и тамо присещу на приношения ваша и начатки обетов ваших во всех освященных ваших.

For there on my holy mountain, Israel's high mountain, declares the Lord God, every single person in the whole country of Israel will worship me. That's where I'll accept them and will ask for your offerings and your best gifts, together with all your holy sacrifices.

41 В воню благовония прииму вы, егда изведу вы из людий и прииму вы от стран, в няже расточени бысте, и освящуся в вас пред очима людскима:

When I bring you back from the nations and gather you from countries where you were scattered, I will accept you as a suitable offering to me. I will reveal my holiness through you so the nations can see.

42 и увесте, яко Аз Господь, егда введу вы в землю Израилеву, в землю, на нюже воздвигох руку Мою дати ю отцем вашым:

Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord when I bring you back to the country of Israel, the land that I promised to give your forefathers.

43 и помянете тамо пути вашя и вся мерзкия грехи вашя, в нихже осквернистеся, и посрамите лица ваша во всех злобах ваших, яже сотвористе:

That's where you will remember your bad ways and everything you've done to make yourselves unclean, and you will hate yourselves for the evil things you did.

44 и познаете, яко Аз Господь, егда сотворю вам тако, яко да имя Мое не осквернится по путем вашым злым и по рукотворением вашым растленным, доме Израилев, глаголет Адонаи Господь.

Then you people of Israel will acknowledge that I am the Lord, because I have treated you well because of who I am, and not because of your evil ways and terrible things you've done, declares the Lord God.”

45 И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:

Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,

46 сыне человечь, утверди лице твое на юг и воззри на дарома, и прорцы на дубраву старейшину нагева

“Son of man, face towards the south and preach against it. Prophesy against the forest of the Negev.

47 и речеши дубраве нагевове: слыши слово Господне, сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: се, Аз возгнещу в тебе огнь, и пожжет в тебе всяко древо зеленое и всяко древо сухое, не угаснет пламень разжженый, и изгорит в нем всяко лице от полудне до севера,

Tell the forest of the Negev: Listen to the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord God says: I am going to set you on fire, and it will burn up all your trees, both those that are living and those that are dead. The blaze won't be put out, and everything from the north to the south will be burned.

48 и увесть всяка плоть, яко Аз Господь разжегох его, и не угаснет.

Then everyone will recognize that it was me, the Lord, who started the fire, and it won't be put out.”

49 И рекох: никакоже, Господи, Господи! Сии глаголют ко мне: не притча ли есть сия глаголема?

But then I said, “Oh no, Lord God! People already say, ‘He's just telling stories!’”
