Книга пророка Иезекииля 24
1 И бысть слово Господне ко мне, в девятое лето, в месяц десятый, в десятый день месяца, глаголя:
Almost nine [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the tenth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me this message:
2 сыне человечь, напиши себе имя дне сего, от негоже укрепися царь Вавилонский на Иерусалим, от сего дне, иже днесь,
“You human, write down what day of the month this is. On this [the army of] King of Babylon has surrounded Jerusalem.
3 и рцы притчу к дому прогневляющему, и речеши к ним: сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: настави коноб, настави и влий в онь воду,
Tell those rebellious Israeli people [MTY] [in Babylon] a parable. Say this to them: This is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘Pour water into the [cooking] pot and put the pot [the fire].
4 и верзи в онь на двое разсеченая, всякое разсечение доброе, голень и рамо, обрезана от костей,
Put into the pot some pieces of [from one of your best sheep]: Put in the leg and shoulder, [which are] the best pieces. [Then] fill [the rest of] the pot with the best bones.
5 от избранных скотов взятая, и подгнещай костьми под ними: возвре и воскипе, и сваришася кости его посреде его.
Pile wood on the fire, and cook the bones and the meat in the boiling water.’
6 Того ради сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: о, граде кровей! Конобе, в немже есть яд, и яд не изыде из него: по удом его изнесе, не паде на нем жребий.
[Do that] because this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘Terrible things will happen [Jerusalem]; it is city that is full of murderers [MTY], [a city that is like] [MET] a scorched pot whose black residue inside cannot be removed. Take the pieces [of meat] out of the pot, but do not choose which pieces to take out.
7 Яко кровь его среде его есть, на гладцем камени вчиних ю: не пролиях ея на землю, еже покрыти ю землею,
The blood of the people who were murdered in Jerusalem is still there; they were murdered on the bare rocks, not on the soil, where their blood could be covered.
8 еже навести ярость Мою (на ню), во отмщение еже отмстити: дах кровь его на гладцем камени, еже не покрыти ея.
But I am the one who caused the blood of those who were murdered [MTY] to be smeared on the bare rock, where their blood could not be covered; I did that in order [I could see it and] then be angry and get revenge.’
9 Того ради сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: о, люте, граде кровей! Аз же возвеличу главню
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘Terrible things will happen to that city that is full of murderers [MTY]! [It will be as though] I also will pile high [the wood in the fire].
10 и умножу дрова и возгнещу огнь, яко да истают мяса, и оскудеет юха, и кости истают,
[So], heap on the wood and light the fire! Cook the meat well, and mix some spices with it; cook it until the bones are charred.
11 и станет на главнях его, (тощь) разгореся, яко да изгорит, и распалится и сгорит медь его, и истает среде его нечистота его, и оскудеет яд его:
Then set the empty pot on the [of the fire] until the pot becomes [very] hot and the copper glows, with the result that the impurities and the rust will be burned up.
12 да смирится яд его, и не изыдет из него многий яд его, и посрамится яд его:
[It is as though] I tried to get rid of that rust, but I was not able to do it, [not even] by putting that pot in a fire.
13 в нечистоте твоей укроп, понеже осквернялся еси ты и не очистился от нечистоты твоея: и что будет аще не очистишися по сем, дондеже исполню ярость Мою в тебе?
The [in the pot represents] your immoral behavior. I tried to cleanse you from your wicked behavior, but you did not allow me to do that. So you will not be [from the guilt of your sin] [I have punished you and] I am no longer angry.
14 Аз Господь глаголах, и приидет, и сотворю, и не укосню, и не пощажу, и не буду умолен: по путем твоим и по помыслом твоим сужду тебе, глаголет Адонаи Господь: сего ради, се, Аз сужду тебе по кровем твоим и по помыслом твоим сужду тебе, нечисте, пресловуте и великий на разгневание.
I, Yahweh, have said [that I will surely punish you]. [And it is time] for me to do that. I will not change my mind; I will not refrain from punishing you, and I will not pity you. I will judge you [and punish you] as you deserve to be punished for your sinful behavior. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.”’”
15 И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
[One day] Yahweh gave me this message:
16 сыне человечь, се, Аз вземлю от тебе желания очес твоих в поражении, не восплачи, ниже возрыдай, ниже да приидут тебе слезы,
“You human, I am going to suddenly take from [your wife], whom you love very much. [when she dies], do [show that you are] sad or lament or cry.
17 возстени молчя: стенание крове, чресл плачь есть: да будут власи твои сплетени на тебе, и сапози твои на ногах твоих, и да не утешишися устнами их, и хлеба мужей да не снеси.
Groan quietly; do not cry [openly] for her. [Keep] your turban wrapped around your head, [instead of being barefoot, keep] your sandals on your feet. Do not cover the lower part of your [to show that you are sad]. And do not eat the kind of food that people who are mourning usually eat.”
18 И глаголах к людем заутра, якоже заповеда ми, и умре жена моя в вечер, и сотворих заутра, якоже повелеся ми.
[one morning] I talked to the [as usual], and that evening my wife [suddenly] died. The next morning I did what [Yahweh] had told me to do.
19 И рекоша ко мне людие: не возвестиши ли нам, что суть сия, яже ты твориши?
Then the people asked me, “What do the things that you are doing signify to us?”
20 И рекох к ним: слово Господне бысть ко мне глаголя:
So I said to them, “[This is what] Yahweh told me:
21 рцы к дому Израилеву, сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: се, Аз оскверню святая Моя, величания крепости вашея, желания очес ваших, и ихже щадят души вашя: и сынове ваши и дщери вашя, яже остависте, мечем падут:
‘Tell the Israeli people [MTY] that I am about to destroy the temple, [the building] that you are very proud of, the building that you delight to look at. Your children whom you [in Jerusalem when you were forced to come to Babylon] will be killed [their enemies’] swords.
22 и сотворите, якоже аз сотворих: от уст их не утешитеся и хлеба мужей не снесте,
[When that happens], you will do like I have done: You will not cover the lower part of your faces, or eat the kinds of food that people who are mourning usually eat.
23 и власи ваши на главах ваших, и сапози ваши на ногах ваших: не будете терзатися, ниже плакати, и истаете в неправдах ваших, и не утешите кийждо брата своего.
[You will keep] your turbans wrapped around your heads and [keep] your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or cry, but your bodies will become very thin and slowly die because of your sins. And you will groan to each other.
24 И будет вам Иезекииль в чудо: по всему елика сотворих, сотворите: егда приидут сия, и уразумеете, яко Аз Адонаи Господь.
Ezekiel will be a warning to you, and you must do what he has done. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh the [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
25 И ты, сыне человечь, не в день ли той, егда возму от них крепость их, вознесение хвальбы их, желания очию их и возношение души их, сыны их и дщери их:
[Then Yahweh said to me], “You human, [soon] I will destroy their sacred temple, which they rejoice about and which they respect and delight to look at, and [I will get rid of] their sons and daughters also.
26 в той день приидет уцелевый к тебе возвестити тебе во ушы,
On that day, someone will escape [from Jerusalem] and come and tell you what has happened [there].
27 в той день отверзутся уста твоя ко уцелевшему, и возглаголеши и не премолчиши ктому, и будеши им в чудо: и уведят, яко Аз Адонаи Господь.
When that happens, you will be able to speak again [MTY] [without constraint]. You two will talk together [DOU]. You will be a warning to the people; and they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
