Книга пророка Иезекииля 33
1 И быти слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 сыне человечь, глаголи ко сыном людий твоих и речеши к ним: земля, на нюже Аз аще наведу мечь, и поймут людие земли человека единаго от себе и поставят его себе во стража,
“You human, speak to your fellow Israelis and say this to them: ‘When I bring an enemy army [MTY] to attack a country, and the people of that country choose one of their men and appoint him to be a watchman,
3 и узрит мечь грядущь на землю, и вострубит трубою, и проповесть людем,
if he sees the enemy army [MTY] coming to attack his country, and he blows a trumpet to warn the people,
4 и услышит услышавый глас трубы, а не сохранится, и найдет мечь и постигнет его, кровь его на главе его будет:
if anyone hears the trumpet and does not heed the warning, and as a result he is killed by the sword [of one of his enemies], he will be responsible for his own death [MTY].
5 яко слыша глас трубы и не сохранися, кровь его на нем будет: а сей, понеже сохранися, душу свою избавил.
If he had heeded the warning, he would have (have saved his life/still be alive). But because he heard the sound of the trumpet and did not heed that warning, his death will be his own fault.
6 И страж, аще увидит мечь грядущь, и не вострубит трубою, (и не проповесть людем, ) и людие не охранят себе, и нашед мечь возмет от них душу, та убо беззакония ради своего взяся, а крове ея от руки стража взыщу.
But if the watchman sees the enemy army [MTY] coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people, and one of his people is killed by an enemy sword, that person will die because of his sin, but I will consider that the watchman is responsible for that man’s death.’
7 И ты, сыне человечь, во стража дах тя дому Израилеву, и услышиши от уст Моих слово, и проповеси им от Мене.
So, you human, I have appointed you to be a watchman for the Israeli people [MTY]. So always listen to what I say and warn the people for me.
8 Егда реку грешнику: грешниче, смертию умреши: и не будеши глаголати (грешнику), еже сохранитися нечестивому, (еже обратитися ему) от пути своего (и живу быти ему), той беззаконник во беззаконии своем умрет, а крове его от руки твоея взыщу.
When I say to some wicked person, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die [because of your sins,’ you must tell him that]. If you do not speak to that person to warn him that he should turn away from his sins, that wicked person will die because of his sins, but I will say that you are responsible for his death [MTY].
9 Аще же ты проповеси нечестивому путь его, еже обратитися от него, и не обратится с пути своего, той в нечестии своем умрет, а ты душу твою избавил еси.
But if you warn that wicked person that he should turn away from his sins, and he does not do that, he will die because of his sins, but you will have saved your life.
10 И ты, сыне человечь, рцы дому Израилеву: сице ресте глаголюще: прелести нашя и беззакония наша в нас суть, и мы в них таем, и како нам живым быти?
You human, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what you all are saying: “[The guilt that we have for] disobeying God’s laws and sinning is like a heavy weight on us, and it is hurting us, and we are slowly dying. So what can we do to continue to remain alive?”’
11 Рцы им: живу Аз, глаголет Адонаи Господь, не хощу смерти грешника, но еже обратитися нечестивому от пути своего и живу быти ему: обращением обратитеся от пути вашего злаго: и вскую умираете, доме Израилев?
Say to them, ‘Yahweh the Lord says, “As surely as I am alive, I am not happy when wicked people die; I would prefer that they turn away from their wicked behavior and continue to live. So repent! Turn away from your evil behavior! You Israeli people, do you really want to die [RHQ]?”’
12 И ты, сыне человечь, рцы ко сыном людий твоих: правда праведника не избавит его, в оньже день прельстится: и беззаконие беззаконника не убиет, в оньже день обратится от беззакония своего: и праведник не может спастися в день греха своего.
Therefore, you human, say to your fellow Israelis, ‘If righteous people start to disobey me, their being righteous previously will not save them [from being punished]. And if wicked people turn away from their wicked behavior, they will not die because of the sins that they committed [previously]. And if righteous people start to sin, they will not be allowed to remain alive because of their formerly being righteous.’
13 Егда реку праведнику: жизнию жив будеши: сей же уповая на правду свою и сотворит беззаконие, вся правды его не воспомянутся, в неправде своей, юже сотвори, в той умрет.
If I tell righteous people that they will surely remain alive, but then they trust/think that because they have been righteous previously, they can start to do evil [and not be punished], I will not think about the righteous things that they did previously; they will die because of the evil things that they are doing.
14 И егда реку нечестивому: смертию умреши: и обратится от греха своего и сотворит суд и правду,
And if I say to some wicked person, ‘You will surely die [because of your sins],’ that person may turn away from his sinful behavior and do what is just and right [DOU].
15 и залог отдаст и восхищеное возвратит, беззаконник в заповедех жизни ходити будет, еже не сотворити неправды, жизнию жив будет и не умрет:
For example, he may return what he took from another person to guarantee [that that person would pay back what he owes], or he may return things that he has stolen, and he may obey the laws that will enable [those who obey them] to remain alive, and he will not continue to do evil things. If that happens, he will surely remain alive; he will not die [because of the sins that he committed previously].
16 вси греси его, яже согреши, не помянутся: понеже суд и правду сотвори, жив будет в них.
I will not think about the sins that he has committed; he will surely remain alive.
17 И рекут сынове людий твоих: неправ путь Господень. И се, путь их неправ.
Your fellow Israelis say, ‘What Yahweh does is not fair.’ But it is your behavior that is not fair.
18 Егда совратится праведник от правды своея и сотворит беззаконие, и умрет в нем.
If a righteous person turns away from doing what is righteous and starts to do what is evil, [it is fair that] he die because of his sins.
19 И егда грешник возвратится от беззакония своего и сотворит суд и правду, той жив будет в них.
And if a wicked person turns away from his wicked behavior and does what is right and fair [DOU], [it is fair] for him to remain alive because of doing that.
20 И се есть, еже рекосте: неправ путь Господень. Комуждо по путем его сужду вам, доме Израилев.
But you Israeli people still say, ‘What Yahweh does is not fair.’ But I will judge each of you for what you do.”
21 И бысть во второенадесять лето, месяца вторагонадесять, в пятый день месяца пленения нашего, прииде ко мне от Иерусалима уцелевый глаголя: пленен бысть град.
Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the fifth day of the tenth month [of that year], a man who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me [in Babylon] and said, “Jerusalem has been captured!”
22 И рука Господня бысть на мне в вечер, прежде пришествия его, и отверзе уста моя, дондеже прииде ко мне заутра: и отверзшаяся уста моя не затворишася ктому.
The evening before that man arrived, Yahweh took control [MTY] of me, and when that man arrived, Yahweh enabled me to speak again; I was no longer forced to be silent.
23 И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
Then Yahweh gave a message to me. He said,
24 сыне человечь, живущии на опустевших местех во земли Израилеве глаголют: един бяше Авраам и одержаше землю, а мы множайшии есмы, нам дана есть земля во одержание.
“You human, the people who are living in the ruins in Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one person, but Yahweh [promised him that he and his descendants] would possess this land. But we are many; so surely this land has been given to us [by Yahweh] to continue to possess.’
25 Того ради рцы им: сице глаголет Адонаи Господь: понеже с кровию ясте и очи ваши воздвигосте ко кумиром и кровь проливаете, и землю ли наследите?
So send a message to them. Say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You eat meat that still has the animal’s blood in it. You still worship idols. And you still murder others [MTY]. So, (should this land belong to you?/this land should certainly not belong to you!) [RHQ]
26 Стасте с мечем вашим, сотвористе мерзости, и кийждо жену ближняго своего осквернисте, и тако ли землю имате наследити?
You rely on using your swords [to obtain things that you want]. You do many detestable things. Each of you has sex with other men’s wives. So (why should you continue to possess the land of Israel?/you should not continue to possess this land!) [RHQ]’
27 Того ради рцы им: сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: живу Аз, яко падут мечем сущии во опустевших, и иже на лицы поля, зверем польным предадутся на изядение, и сущыя во градех и иже в пещерах смертию поражу,
Send this message to them: ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: As surely as I am alive, those who are left in the ruins [in Jerusalem] will also be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and those who are living in the countryside will be killed by wild animals, and those who are living in forts and caves will die from a plague.
28 и дам землю на опустение, и погибнет гордость крепости ея, и опустеют горы Израилевы, занеже не будет проходящаго:
I will cause your country to become a desolate wasteland. You will no longer be proud of being a strong country. The mountains of Israel will become very desolate, with the result that no one will walk across them.
29 и уведят, яко Аз Господь: и сотворю землю их пусту, и опустеет всех ради мерзостей их, яже сотвориша.
Then, when I have caused your country to become a desolate wasteland because of all the detestable things that you have done, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’
30 И ты, сыне человечь, сынове людий твоих глаголющии о тебе у забрал и во вратех дворов, и глаголют кийждо ко ближнему своему и кийждо ко брату своему, глаголюще: соберимся и услышим исходящая от уст Господних.
As for you, you human, your fellow Israelis [here in Babylon] are talking about you along the city walls and at the doors of their houses. They are saying to each other, ‘Come and listen to the message that has come from Yahweh!’
31 И приходят к тебе, якоже сходятся людие, и седят людие Мои пред тобою, и послушают глаголов твоих, и не сотворят их: понеже лжа во устех их, и вслед скверн их сердце их ходит.
My people come to you as they often have done, and they sit in front of you to listen to what you say. But they do not do what you tell them that they must do. With their mouths they say that they love me, but in their inner beings they are eager to acquire things by doing what is unjust.
32 И будеши им яко глас песнивца сладкогласнаго благосличнаго, и услышат глаголы твоя, и не сотворят их.
To them, you are only a man who sings love songs with a beautiful voice, and you play a musical instrument well. They hear what you say, but they do not do what you tell them to do.
33 И егда приидеши, рекут: се, прииде. И уведят, яко пророк бе среде их.
The terrible things that I have said will happen to them will surely happen. And then they will know that a prophet has been among them, [and that you are that prophet].”
