Книга пророка Иеремии 11
1 Слово еже бысть от Господа ко Иеремии, глаголющее:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 слышите словеса завета сего и глаголите ко мужем Иудиным и ко обитателем Иерусалимским,
Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 и речеши к ним: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: проклят муж, иже не послушает словес завета сего,
And say thou unto them, Thus hath said the Lord God of Israel, Cursed be the man that hearkeneth not to 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 fathers on the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Hearken to my voice, and do the same, in accordance with all which I may command you; and so shall ye be to me for a people, and I will be to you for a 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.
In order that I may fulfill the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give unto them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. And I answered, and said, So be it, O Lord.
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 said the Lord unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
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 I earnestly warned your fathers on the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt even until this day, sending out early and warning, saying, Hearken to 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 hearkened not, and inclined not their ear, but walked every one in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore did I bring over them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but which they did not.
9 И рече Господь ко мне: обретено есть совещание (на зло) в мужех Иудиных и во обитающих во Иерусалиме:
And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy hath been found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants 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 are returned again to the iniquities of their earlier forefathers, who had refused to hearken to my words; and they themselves are [also] gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which 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 thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring an evil upon them, from which they shall not be able to rid themselves; and they will cry unto me, but I will not hearken unto 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 let the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense; but they shall not save them in the least in the time of their distress.
13 По числу бо градов твоих беху бози твои, Иудо, и по числу путий Иерусалимских постависте олтари студныя, олтари на каждение Ваалу.
For equal to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and equal to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to the disgraceful idol, altars, to burn incense unto Ba'al.
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.
But thou—thou must not pray in behalf of this people, neither lift up in their behalf entreaty or prayer; for I will not hear at the time that they call unto me, because of their distress.
15 Почто возлюбленная в дому Моем сотвори мерзости (многи)? Еда обеты и мяса святая отимут от тебе лукавства твоя, или сими избежиши?
What hath my beloved to do in my house, while she executeth the evil counsel of so many [sinners]? Yea, the holy flesh passeth away from thee; for even with thy wickedness, thou rejoicest still.
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.
An ever-green olive-tree, beautiful in fruit and form, did the Lord call thy name: with the noise of a great tumult hath he kindled fire around it, and they break off 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.
And the Lord of hosts, that planted thee, hath decreed evil against thee; on account of the wickedness of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves, to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Ba'al.
18 Господи, скажи ми, и уразумею: тогда видех начинания их.
And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then didst thou let me see their doings.
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.
But I was like a sheep or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, [saying, ] “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may not be remembered any more.”
20 Господь Саваоф, судяй праведно, испытуяй сердца и утробы, да вижду мщение Твое на них, яко к Тебе открых оправдание мое.
But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I entrusted 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 thus hath said the Lord concerning the men of 'Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, “Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of the Lord, that thou mayest not 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,
Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will inflict punishment on them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by the famine;
23 и останка не будет от них, наведу бо злая на живущыя во Анафофе в лето посещения их.
And no remnant shall remain of them; for I will bring evil upon the men of 'Anathoth, in the year of their punishment.
