Книга пророка Иеремии 11
1 Слово еже бысть от Господа ко Иеремии, глаголющее:
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 слышите словеса завета сего и глаголите ко мужем Иудиным и ко обитателем Иерусалимским,
“Listen to the words of this covenant and tell them to the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.
3 и речеши к ним: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: проклят муж, иже не послушает словес завета сего,
You must tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,
4 егоже заповедах отцем вашым в день, в оньже изведох их от земли Египетския, от пещи железныя, глаголя: услышите глас Мой и сотворите вся, елика заповедаю вам, и будете Мне в люди, и Аз буду вам в Бога:
which I commanded your forefathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, ‘Obey Me, and do everything I command you, and you will be My people, and I will be your God.’
5 да утвержду клятву Мою, еюже кляхся отцем вашым, еже дати им землю точащую млеко и мед, якоже есть день сей. И отвещах и рекох: буди, Господи.
This was in order to establish the oath I swore to your forefathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is to this day.” “Amen, LORD,” I answered.
6 И рече Господь ко мне: прочти вся словеса сия во градех Иудиных и вне Иерусалима, рекий: слышите словеса завета сего и сотворите та:
Then the LORD said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear the words of this covenant and carry them out.
7 яко свидетелствуя засвидетелствовах отцем вашым в день, в оньже изведох их от земли Египетския, даже до дне сего, заутра востая засвидетелствовах глаголя: слышите глас Мой.
For from the time I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt until today, I strongly warned them again and again, saying, ‘Obey My voice.’
8 И не слышаша, ни приклониша уха своего, но идоша кийждо в стропотстве сердца своего злаго: и наведох на них вся словеса завета сего, егоже заповедах да сотворят, и не сотвориша.
Yet they would not obey or incline their ears, but each one followed the stubbornness of his evil heart. So I brought on them all the curses of this covenant I had commanded them to follow but they did not keep.”
9 И рече Господь ко мне: обретено есть совещание (на зло) в мужех Иудиных и во обитающих во Иерусалиме:
And the LORD told me, “There is a conspiracy among the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.
10 возвратишася ко беззаконием первым отец своих, иже не хотеша слышати словес Моих, и се, тии поидоша по бозех чуждих, да служат им: и разори дом Израилев и дом Иудин завет Мой, егоже завещах со отцы их.
They have returned to the sins of their forefathers who refused to obey My words. They have followed other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the covenant I made with their fathers.
11 Сего ради сия глаголет Господь: се, Аз наведу на них злая, от нихже изыти не возмогут, и возопиют ко Мне, и не услышу их:
Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to bring upon them a disaster that they cannot escape. They will cry out to Me, but I will not listen to them.
12 и пойдут грады Иудины и обитателе Иерусалима и возопиют ко богом, имже тии кадят, иже не спасут их во время скорбей их.
Then the cities of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to which they have been burning incense, but these gods certainly will not save them in their time of disaster.
13 По числу бо градов твоих беху бози твои, Иудо, и по числу путий Иерусалимских постависте олтари студныя, олтари на каждение Ваалу.
Your gods are indeed as numerous as your cities, O Judah; the altars of shame you have set up—the altars to burn incense to Baal—are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.’
14 Ты же не молися о людех сих и не проси о них в мольбе и молитве: не услышу бо во время вопля их ко Мне и во время озлобления их.
As for you, do not pray for these people. Do not raise up a cry or a prayer on their behalf, for I will not be listening when they call out to Me in their time of disaster.
15 Почто возлюбленная в дому Моем сотвори мерзости (многи)? Еда обеты и мяса святая отимут от тебе лукавства твоя, или сими избежиши?
What right has My beloved in My house, having carried out so many evil schemes? Can consecrated meat avert your doom, so that you can rejoice?
16 Маслину благосенну, красну зраком нарече Господь имя твое, ко гласу обрезания ея: разгореся огнь в ней, велика скорбь на тебе, непотребны быша ветви ея.
The LORD once called you a flourishing olive tree, beautiful with well-formed fruit. But with a mighty roar He will set it on fire, and its branches will be consumed.
17 И Господь Сил, иже насади тебе, глаголал есть на тя зло за злая дому Израилева и дому Иудина, елика сотвориша себе ко прогневанию Мене кадяще Ваалу.
The LORD of Hosts, who planted you, has decreed disaster against you on account of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have brought upon themselves, provoking Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.”
18 Господи, скажи ми, и уразумею: тогда видех начинания их.
And the LORD informed me, so I knew. Then You showed me their deeds.
19 Аз же, яко агня незлобиво ведомо на заколение, не разумех, яко на мя помыслиша помысл лукавый, глаголюще: приидите и вложим древо во хлеб его и истребим его от земли живущих, и имя его да не помянется ктому.
For I was like a gentle lamb led to slaughter; I did not know that they had plotted against me: “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit; let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be remembered no more.”
20 Господь Саваоф, судяй праведно, испытуяй сердца и утробы, да вижду мщение Твое на них, яко к Тебе открых оправдание мое.
O LORD of Hosts, who judges righteously, who examines the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause.
21 Сего ради сия глаголет Господь на мужы Анафофски ищущыя души моея, глаголющыя: да не пророчествуеши о имени Господни, аще ли же ни, умреши в руках наших.
Therefore this is what the LORD says concerning the people of Anathoth who are seeking your life and saying, “You must not prophesy in the name of the LORD, or you will die by our hand.”
22 Сего ради сия глаголет Господь Сил: се, Аз посещу на них: юноши их мечем умрут, и сынове их и дщери их скончаются гладом,
So this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine.
23 и останка не будет от них, наведу бо злая на живущыя во Анафофе в лето посещения их.
There will be no remnant, for I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.”
