Книга пророка Иеремии 1
1 Слово Божие, еже бысть ко Иеремии сыну Хелкиеву от священник, иже обиташе во Анафофе, в земли Вениаминове,
The word of God which came to Jeremias the [son] of Chelcias, of the priests, who lived in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
2 якоже бысть слово Господне к нему, во дни Иосии сына Амоса царя Иудина, в третиенадесять лето царства его,
[accordingly] as the word of God came to him in the days of Josias son of Amos king of Juda, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 и бысть во дни Иоакима сына Иосии царя Иудина, даже до первагонадесять лета Седекии сына Иосии царя Иудина, даже до пленения Иерусалимскаго в месяц пятый.
And it was in the days of Joakim, son of Josias king of Juda, until the eleventh year of Sedekias king of Juda, [even] until the captivity of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
And the word of the Lord came to him, [saying],
5 прежде неже мне создати тя во чреве, познах тя, и прежде неже изыти тебе из ложесн, освятих тя, пророка во языки поставих тя.
Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you; and before you came forth from the womb, I sanctified you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
6 И рекох: о, Сый Владыко Господи, се, не вем глаголати, яко отрок аз есмь.
And I said, O Lord, you that are supreme Lord, behold, I know not [how] to speak, for I am a child.
7 И рече Господь ко мне: не глаголи, яко отрок аз есмь, ибо ко всем, к нимже послю тя, пойдеши, и вся, елика повелю тебе, возглаголеши:
And the Lord said to me, Say not, I am a child: for you shall go to all to whoever I shall send you, and according to all [the words] that I shall command you, you shall speak.
8 не убойся от лица их, яко с тобою Аз есмь, еже избавити тя, глаголет Господь.
Be not afraid before them: for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.
9 И простре Господь руку Свою ко мне и прикоснуся устом моим, и рече Господь ко мне: се, дах словеса Моя во уста твоя:
And the Lord stretched forth his hand to me, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put my words into your mouth.
10 се, поставих тя днесь над языки и над царствы, да искорениши и разориши, и расточиши и разрушиши, и паки созиждеши и насадиши.
Behold, I have appointed you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to rebuild, and to plant.
11 И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя: что ты видиши Иеремие? И рекох: жезл ореховый (аз вижду).
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, What see you? And I said, A rod of an almond tree.
12 И рече Господь ко мне: благо видел еси, понеже бдех Аз над словесы Моими, еже сотворити я.
And the Lord said to me, You have well seen: for I have watched over my words to perform them.
13 И бысть слово Господне вторицею ко мне глаголя: что ты видиши? И рекох: коноб поджигаемый (аз вижду) и лице его от лица севера.
And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, What see you? And I said, A caldron on the fire; and the face of it is toward the north.
14 И рече Господь ко мне: от лица севера возгорятся злая на всех обитающих на земли,
And the Lord said to me, From the north shall flame forth evils upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 зане се, Аз созову вся царства земная от севера, рече Господь и приидут и поставят кийждо престол свой в преддвериих врат Иерусалимских и на всех стенах окрест его и на всех градех Иудиных:
For, behold, I call together all the kingdoms of the earth from the north, says the Lord; and they shall come, and shall set each one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls round about her, and against all the cities of Juda.
16 и возглаголю к ним с судом о всяцей злобе их, како оставиша Мя и пожроша богом чуждим и поклонишася делом рук своих.
And I will speak to them in judgment, concerning all their iniquity, [forasmuch] as they have forsaken me, and sacrificed to strange gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
17 Ты же препояши чресла твоя, и востани и глаголи к ним вся, елика заповедаю тебе: не убойся от лица их, ниже устрашися пред ними, яко с тобою есмь, еже избавити тя, глаголет Господь:
And do you gird up your loins, and stand up, and speak all [the words] that I shall command you: be not afraid of their face, neither be you alarmed before them; for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.
18 се, положих тя днесь аки град тверд и в столп железный, и аки стену медяну, крепку всем царем Иудиным и князем его, и священником его и людем земли:
Behold, I have made you this day as a strong city, and as a brazen wall, strong [against] all the kings of Juda, and the princes thereof, and the people of the land.
19 и ратовати будут на тя и не премогут тя, понеже с тобою Аз есмь, да избавлю тя, рече Господь.
And they shall fight against you; but they shall by no means prevail against you; because I am with you, to deliver you, says the Lord.
