Книга пророка Иезекииля 3
1 И рече ко мне: сыне человечь, снеждь свиток сей, и иди и рцы сыном Израилевым.
“Son of man,” he told me, “eat what you find placed before you. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the people of Israel.”
2 И отверзох уста моя, и напита мя свитком сим
I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
3 и рече ко мне: сыне человечь, уста твоя снедят, и чрево твое насытится свитка сего даннаго тебе. И снедох его, и бысть во устех моих яко мед сладок.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “eat and fill yourself up with this scroll I'm giving you.” So I ate the scroll, and it tasted as sweet as honey.
4 И рече ко мне: сыне человечь иди и вниди в дом Израилев, и глаголи словеса Моя к ним:
Then he told me, “Son of man, now you are to go to the people of Israel and give my message to them.
5 яко не к людем глубокоречивым и косноязычным посылаемь еси, к дому Израилеву,
I'm not sending you to those whose language is foreign to you, to people that you don't know—but to the people of Israel.
6 ниже к людем многим иноязычным, иноречивым, ни тяжким языком сущым, ихже не разумел бы еси словес: аще же и к тацем послал бых тя, то и тии послушали быша тебе:
As I say, I'm not sending you to those whose language is foreign to you, to people that you don't know, whose words you don't understand. On the other hand, if I had sent you to foreigners, they would have listened to you.
7 а дом Израилев не восхощет послушати тебе, понеже не хотят слушати Мене, яко весь дом Израилев непокориви суть и жестокосерди:
But the people of Israel won't want to listen to you, because they don't want to listen to me. All the Israelites are strong-minded and hard-hearted.
8 и се, дах лице твое сильно противу лица их, и прю твою укреплю противу при их:
Look! I'm going to make you as tough as them, and as strong-minded as them.
9 и будет, всегда крепчае камене дах прю твою: не убойся их, ни ужасайся лица их, зане дом разгневаяй есть.
I will make your mind like adamant, harder than flint. Don't be afraid of what they say or discouraged by the way they look at you, even though they are a rebellious people.”
10 И рече ко мне: сыне человечь, вся словеса, яже глаголах с тобою, возми в сердце твое и ушима твоима послушай:
“Son of man,” he added, “pay close attention to everything I tell you, and think deeply about it yourself.
11 и шед вниди в плен к сыном людий твоих, и речеши к ним и возглаголеши к ним: тако глаголет Адонаи Господь: аще убо послушают и аще убо повинутся.
Go to your people who are in exile. Tell them this is what the Lord God says, whether they listen or not.”
12 И взя мя дух, и слышах глас за собою труса велика, глаголющих: благословена слава Господня от места Его.
The Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a really loud noise behind me that sounded like an earthquake. (Praise to the Lord's glory where he lives!)
13 И видех глас крил животных скриляющихся друг ко другу, и глас колес держащься их, и глас труса велика.
It was the sound made by the wings of the beings as they brushed against each other and the noise made by the wheels next to them, a really loud noise that sounded like an earthquake.
14 И дух воздвиже мя и взя мя, и поидох вознесен во устремлении духа моего, и рука Господня бысть на мне крепкая.
As I said, the Spirit lifted me up and carried me away. As I went I was feeling upset and angry; however the Lord's power had taken full control of me.
15 И внидох в пленники вознесен, и обыдох живущыя на реце Ховар, и седох ту седмь дний, ходя посреде их.
I arrived at the place where the exiles lived, Tel-abib by the River Kebar. I just sat with them, staying with them there for seven days. I was completely overcome with emotion.
16 И бысть по седмих днех слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
After the seven days had passed, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
17 сыне человечь стража дах тя дому Израилеву, да слышиши слово от уст Моих и воспретиши им от Мене.
“Son of man, I have chosen you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Whenever I give you a message, then you must warn them for me.
18 Внегда глаголати Ми беззаконнику: смертию умреши: и не возвестиши ему, ни соглаголеши, еже остатися беззаконнику и обратитися от пути своего, еже живу быти ему: беззаконник той в беззаконии своем умрет, крове же его от руки твоея взыщу.
For example, if I give a warning to someone who's wicked, saying, ‘You are going to die for sure,’ but you don't warn them, if you don't speak out to warn them to stop their wicked ways so they can go on living, then that wicked person will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their death.
19 И ты аще возвестиши беззаконнику, и не обратится от беззакония своего и от пути своего (беззаконна): той беззаконник во беззаконии своем умрет, а ты душу твою избавиши.
But if you warn them, and they don't stop their wicked ways, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself—you won't die.
20 И егда совратится праведник от правд своих и сотворит согрешение: и дам муку пред ним, той умрет, яко ты не воспретил еси ему, и во гресех своих умрет, зане не помянутся правды его, яже сотвори: крове же его от руки твоея взыщу.
Again, if someone who lives right stops doing so and sins and disregards my attempts to correct them, then they will die. If you didn't warn them, they will die in their sins, and the good things they did won't be remembered. In addition, I will hold you responsible for their death.
21 Ты же аще возвестиши праведному, еже не согрешити, и той не согрешит: праведный жизнию поживет, яко воспретил еси ему, и ты твою душу избавиши.
However, if you warn those who are living right not to sin, and they don't sin, they will live for sure, because they paid attention to your warning, and you will have saved yourself—you won't die.”
22 И бысть на мне рука Господня, и рече ко мне: востани и изыди на поле, и тамо возглаголется к тебе.
The Lord's power took control of me there, and he told me, “Get up! Go to the valley, and I will talk to you there.”
23 И востах и изыдох на поле: и се, тамо слава Господня стояше, якоже видение и якоже слава Господня, юже видех на реце Ховар, и падох на лицы моем.
So I got up and went to the valley, and there I saw the Lord's glory. It was like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown on the ground.
24 И прииде на мя дух и постави мя на ногу моею: и глагола ко мне и рече ми: вниди и затворися среде дому твоего.
Then the Spirit came into me and made me stand upright. He told me, “Go into your house and shut the door.
25 И ты, сыне человечь, се, дашася на тя узы, и свяжут тя ими, и не изыдеши от среды их:
You will be tied up with ropes, son of man. You will be bound so that won't be able to go out among the people.
26 и язык твой привяжу к гортани твоему, и онемееши и не будеши им в мужа обличения, понеже дом разгневаяй есть:
I'll make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth. You won't be able to speak and complain to them, even though they are a rebellious people.
27 и внегда глаголати Ми к тебе, отверзу уста твоя, и речеши к ним: сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: слышай да слышит, и не покаряяйся да не покаряется, зане дом преогорчеваяй есть.
However, when I talk with you, I will open your mouth so you can tell them that this is what the Lord God says. Those who want to listen will listen, and those who want to refuse will refuse, for they are a rebellious people.”
