Книга пророка Иеремии 11
1 Слово еже бысть от Господа ко Иеремии, глаголющее:
This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah:
2 слышите словеса завета сего и глаголите ко мужем Иудиным и ко обитателем Иерусалимским,
Listen to the terms of this agreement, and then repeat them to the people of Judah and Jerusalem.
3 и речеши к ним: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: проклят муж, иже не послушает словес завета сего,
Tell them this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: You are cursed if you don't obey the terms of this agreement.
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:
I made this agreement with your forefathers when I led them out of Egypt, out of the iron-making furnace, saying, “Obey me, and do everything I order you to do, 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.
I did this to fulfill what I promised to your forefathers—to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it still is today. 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 told me, Go and publicly announce this whole message in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Pay attention the terms of this agreement and do what they say.
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.
From the time I led your forefathers out of Egypt until now, I seriously warned them time and again, saying, “Do what I tell you!”
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.
But they refused to obey, they wouldn't listen. Instead each of them followed their own stubborn and evil thinking. I had ordered them to follow the agreement, but they didn't do so. So I brought down on them all the curses contained in the agreement.
9 И рече Господь ко мне: обретено есть совещание (на зло) в мужех Иудиных и во обитающих во Иерусалиме:
The Lord told me, There is a rebellion happening among the people of Judah and those living in 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 gone back to the sins of their forefathers who refused to obey what I said. They have gone to worship other gods. The people of Israel and Judah have broken the agreement I made with their forefathers.
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:
So this is what the Lord says: I'm going to bring upon them a disaster they won't be able to escape. They will cry out to me for help, but I won't 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 people in the towns of Judah and Jerusalem will go and call out for help to the gods they've been burning incense to, but these gods won't be able to do anything to save them in their time of trouble.
13 По числу бо градов твоих беху бози твои, Иудо, и по числу путий Иерусалимских постависте олтари студныя, олтари на каждение Ваалу.
You certainly have as many gods as you have towns, Judah! You have built shameful altars, altars to burn incense to Baal. You have as many altars 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.
Jeremiah, don't pray for these people. Don't cry for help or offer a prayer on their behalf, because I won't be listening when they cry out to me in the time of their trouble.
15 Почто возлюбленная в дому Моем сотвори мерзости (многи)? Еда обеты и мяса святая отимут от тебе лукавства твоя, или сими избежиши?
What right do the people I love have to be in my Temple when they've done so many evil things? Do you think the meat of sacrifices will save you? When disaster strikes will you be happy?
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.
At one time the Lord said you were a healthy olive tree, full of leaves and bearing beautiful fruit. But with a great noise he will set fire to it, destroying its branches.
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.
I, the Lord Almighty, was the one who planted you, but I have announced you will be destroyed because of the evil that the people of Israel and Judah have committed, making me angry by burning incense to Baal.
18 Господи, скажи ми, и уразумею: тогда видех начинания их.
The Lord told me about it, so I knew. Then he showed me what they were actually doing.
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.
I was like a trusting little lamb being led away to be slaughtered. I didn't know that they had been plotting against me. They said, “Let's destroy the tree along with everything it produces. Let's kill him so no one will even remember his name.”
20 Господь Саваоф, судяй праведно, испытуяй сердца и утробы, да вижду мщение Твое на них, яко к Тебе открых оправдание мое.
I appeal to you, Lord Almighty, you who judge rightly and examine peoples thoughts and feelings, let me see how you punish them, because I've left my case in your hands.
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.
So this is what the Lord says about the people of Anathoth who are trying to kill you, telling you, “Don't prophesy in the name of the Lord, or we'll kill you.”
22 Сего ради сия глаголет Господь Сил: се, Аз посещу на них: юноши их мечем умрут, и сынове их и дщери их скончаются гладом,
This is the reply of the Lord Almighty: I will punish them. Their young men will killed by the sword, their sons and daughters will be killed by famine.
23 и останка не будет от них, наведу бо злая на живущыя во Анафофе в лето посещения их.
There won't be anyone left because I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth at the time when they're punished.
