Книга пророка Иеремии 13
1 Сия глаголет Господь ко мне: иди и стяжи себе чресленик льняный и препояши того на чреслех твоих, и в воду да не внесеши того.
This is what the Lord said to me: Go and get yourself a linen band and put it round you and do not put it in water.
2 И стяжах чресленик по словеси Господню и обложих окрест чресл моих.
So, as the Lord said, I got a band for a price and put it round my body.
3 И бысть слово Господне ко мне вторицею, рекущее:
And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying,
4 возми чресленик, егоже стяжал еси, иже есть окрест чресл твоих, и востани и иди ко Евфрату, и скрый того тамо во разселине каменне.
Take the band which you got for a price, which is round your body, and go to Parah and put it in a secret place there in a hole of the rock.
5 И идох и скрых того во Евфрате, якоже заповеда мне Господь.
So I went and put it in a secret place by Parah, as the Lord had said to me.
6 И бысть по днех мнозех, и рече Господь ко мне: востани и иди ко Евфрату, и возми оттуду чресленик, егоже заповедах тебе скрыти тамо.
Then after a long time, the Lord said to me, Up! go to Parah and get the band which I gave you orders to put there.
7 И идох ко Евфрату и раскопах, и взях чресленик от места, идеже скрых его, и се, изгнил бе (чресленик), яко ни на чтоже быти потребну ему.
So I went to Parah and, uncovering the hole, took the band from the place where I had put it away: and the band was damaged and of no use for anything.
8 И бысть слово Господне ко мне, рекущее: сия глаголет Господь:
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 тако согнити сотворю гордыню Иудину и гордыню Иерусалимлю, многую гордыню сию людий сих строптивых,
The Lord has said, In this way I will do damage to the pride of Judah and to the great pride of Jerusalem.
10 иже не хотят послушати словес Моих, ходящих во строптивстве сердца своего и шедших вслед богов чуждих, да служат им и да покланяются им: и будут якоже чресленик той, иже ни к чему потребен.
These evil people who say they will not give ear to my words, who go on in the pride of their hearts and have become servants and worshippers of other gods, will become like this band which is of no use for anything.
11 Зане, якоже придержится чресленик ко чреслом мужа, тако прилепих Мне (весь) дом Израилев и весь дом Иудин, рече Господь: да будут Мне в люди имениты, и в хвалу и в славу, и не послушаша Мене.
For as a band goes tightly round a man's body, so I made all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah tightly united to me; so that they might be a people for me and a name and a praise and a glory: but they would not give ear.
12 И речеши к людем сим словеса сия: тако рече Господь Бог Израилев: всяк мех исполнится вина. И будет, аще рекут к тебе: еда ведяще не увемы, яко всяк мех исполнится вина?
So you are to say this word to them: This is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: Every skin bottle will be full of wine; and they will say to you, Is it not quite clear to us that every skin bottle will be full of wine?
13 И речеши к ним: сия глаголет Господь: се, Аз исполню всех обитателей земли сея, и царей их седящих от колена Давидова на престоле их, и священники и пророки, и Иуду и всех обитающих во Иерусалиме пиянством,
Then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, I will make all the people of this land, even the kings seated on David's seat, and the priests and the prophets and all the people of Jerusalem, overcome with strong drink.
14 и расточу их, мужа и брата его, и отцы их и сыны их вкупе: не пожелаю, рече Господь, не пощажу, и не умилосердюся, еже не погубити их.
I will have them smashed against one another, fathers and sons together, says the Lord: I will have no pity or mercy, I will have no feeling for them to keep me from giving them to destruction.
15 Слышите и внемлите, и не возноситеся, яко Господь глаголал есть.
Give ear and let your ears be open; be not lifted up: for these are the words of the Lord.
16 Дадите Господу Богу вашему славу прежде даже не смеркнется и прежде даже не преткнутся нозе ваши ко горам темным: и пождете света, и тамо сень смертная, и положени будут во мрак.
Give glory to the Lord your God, before he makes it dark, and before your feet are slipping on the dark mountains, and, while you are looking for a light, he makes it into deep dark, into black night.
17 Аще же не послушаете, в тайне восплачется душа ваша от лица гордыни и плачя восплачет, и изведут очи ваши слезы, яко сотрено есть стадо Господне.
But if you do not give ear to it, my soul will be weeping in secret for your pride; my eye will be weeping bitterly, streaming with water, because the Lord's flock has been taken away as prisoners.
18 Рцыте царю и владыкам: смиритеся, сядите, яко взятся от главы вашея венец славы вашея.
Say to the king and to the queen-mother, Make yourselves low, be seated on the earth: for the crown of your glory has come down from your heads.
19 Грады южнии затворени суть, и несть отверзаяй: преведен есть весь Иуда, совершиша преселение совершенное.
The towns of the south are shut up, and there is no one to make them open: Judah is taken away as prisoners; all Judah is taken away as prisoners.
20 Воздвигни очи твои, Иерусалиме, и виждь приходящыя от севера: где стадо даное тебе, овцы славы твоея?
Let your eyes be lifted up (O Jerusalem), and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock which was given to you, your beautiful flock?
21 Что речеши, егда посетят тя? И ты научил еси их на тя учением в началство: еда не оымут тя болезни яко жену родящую?
What will you say when he puts over you those whom you yourself have made your friends? will not pains take you like a woman in childbirth?
22 Аще же речеши в сердцы твоем: почто приидоша ми сия? За множество беззакония твоего откровена суть задняя твоя, да обруганы будут стопы твоя.
And if you say in your heart, Why have these things come on me? because of the number of your sins, your skirts have been uncovered and violent punishment overtakes you.
23 Аще пременит Ефиоплянин кожу свою, и рысь пестроты своя, и вы можете благотворити научившеся злу.
Is it possible for the skin of the Ethiopian to be changed, or the markings on the leopard? Then it might be possible for you to do good, who have been trained to do evil.
24 И развею их, яко стеблие носимое ветром в пустыню.
So I will send them in all directions, as dry grass is taken away by the wind of the waste land.
25 Сей жребий твой и часть непокорства твоего на Мя, глаголет Господь, яко забыл еси Мя и надеялся на лжу:
This is your fate, the part measured out to you by me, says the Lord, because you have put me out of your memory and put your faith in what is false.
26 темже и аз обнажу бедры твоя противу лица твоего, и явится срамота твоя
So I will have your skirts uncovered before your face, in order that your shame may be seen.
27 и прелюбодейство твое, и ржание твое и отчуждение блуда твоего: на горах и на селех видех мерзости твоя. Горе тебе, Иерусалиме, яко не очистился еси, последуя мне. Доколе еще?
I have seen your disgusting acts, even your false behaviour and your cries of desire and your loose ways on the hills in the field. Unhappy are you, O Jerusalem, you have no desire to be made clean; how long will you be in turning back to me?
