Книга пророка Иеремии 15
1 И рече Господь ко мне: аще станут Моисей и Самуил пред лицем Моим, несть душа Моя к людем сим: изрини тех (от лица Моего), и да изыдут.
Then the Lord said to me, Even if Moses and Samuel came before me, I would have no desire for this people: send them away from before me, and let them go.
2 И будет, аще рекут к тебе: камо изыдем? И речеши к ним: сия глаголет Господь: иже ко смерти, ко смерти: и иже к мечу, к мечу: и иже ко гладу, ко гладу: и иже ко пленению, ко пленению.
And it will be, when they say to you, Where are we to go? then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are to be in need of food, to need of food; and such as are to be taken away prisoners, to be taken away.
3 И отмщу имъчетырьми образы, рече Господь: мечь на заклание, и пси на растерзание, и птицы небесе и зверие земли на пожрения и расхищение.
And I will put over them four divisions, says the Lord: the sword causing death, dogs pulling the dead bodies about, and the birds of heaven, and the beasts of the earth to take their bodies for food and put an end to them.
4 И предам их во утеснение всем царствам земным, ради Манассии сына Езекиина царя Иудина за вся, яже сотвори во Иерусалиме.
And I will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and what he did in Jerusalem.
5 Кто умилосердится к тебе, Иерусалиме? И кто поскорбит о тебе, или кто пойдет молити о мире тебе?
For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? and who will have sorrow for you? or who will go out of his way to see how you are?
6 Ты оставил Мя еси, рече Господь, вспять пошел еси: и простру руку Мою на тя и убию тя, и ктому не пощажу их
You have given me up, says the Lord, you have gone back: so my hand is stretched out against you for your destruction; I am tired of changing my purpose.
7 и расточу их расточением во вратех людий Моих: обезчадеша, погубиша людий Моих злобами своими, и не обратишася.
And I have sent a cleaning wind on them in the public places of the land; I have taken their children from them; I have given my people to destruction; they have not been turned from their ways.
8 Умножишася вдовицы их паче песка морскаго: наведох на матерь юношы, бедность о полудни, навергох на ню внезапу страх и трепет.
I have let their widows be increased in number more than the sand of the seas: I have sent against them, against the mother and the young men, one who makes waste in the heat of the day, causing pain and fears to come on her suddenly.
9 Праздна бысть родившая седмь, оскуде душа ея, зайде ей солнце еще среде полудне, постыждена бысть и укорена: прочыя их в мечь дам пред враги их, рече Господь.
The mother of seven is without strength; her spirit is gone from her, her sun has gone down while it is still day: she has been shamed and overcome: and the rest of them I will give up to the sword before their haters, says the Lord.
10 Горе мне, мати (моя), вскую мя родила еси мужа прителнаго и судимаго по всей земли? Не заях, ниже заят у мене кто: сила моя оскуде от кленущих мя, (рече Господь).
Sorrow is mine, my mother, because you have given birth to me, a cause of fighting and argument in all the earth! I have not made men my creditors and I am not in debt to any, but every one of them is cursing me.
11 Буди, Владыко, исправляющым им: аще не притекох ко Тебе во время озлобления их и во время скорби их, во благая на врага.
12 Еда познается железо? И одеяние медяно крепость твоя.
Is it possible for iron to be broken; even iron from the north, and brass?
13 И сокровища твоя в расхищение дам, измену за вся грехи твоя, и во всех пределех твоих:
I will give your wealth and your stores to your attackers, without a price, because of all your sins, even in every part of your land.
14 и порабощу тя окрест врагом твоим, в земли, еяже не веси: яко огнь возжжеся от ярости Моея, на вас горети будет.
They will go away with your haters into a land which is strange to you: for my wrath is on fire with a flame which will be burning on you.
15 Ты веси, Господи, воспомяни мя и посети мя и защити мя от гонящих мя, не в долготерпение Твое восприими мя: веждь, яко приях Тебе ради поношение от отвергающих словеса Твоя:
O Lord, you have knowledge: keep me in mind and come to my help, and give their right reward to those who are attacking me; take me not away, for you are slow to be angry: see how I have undergone shame because of you from all those who make little of your word;
16 скончай их, и будет слово Твое мне в радость и во веселие сердца моего, яко призвано есть имя Твое на мне, Господи Боже Сил.
But to me your word is a joy, making my heart glad; for I am named by your name, O Lord God of armies.
17 Не седох в сонме их играющих, но бояхся от лица руки Твоея: на едине седях, яко горести исполнихся.
I did not take my seat among the band of those who are glad, and I had no joy; I kept by myself because of your hand; for you have made me full of wrath.
18 Вскую оскорбляющии мя возмогают на мя? Язва моя тверда, откуду изцелюся? Бысть мне яко вода лживая, не имущая верности.
Why is my pain unending and my wound without hope of being made well? Sorrow is mine, for you are to me as a stream offering false hope and as waters which are not certain.
19 Сего ради сия глаголет Господь: аще обратишися, возставлю тя, и пред лицем Моим станеши: и аще изведеши честное от недостойнаго, яко уста Моя будеши: и обратятся тии к тебе, и ты не обратишися к ним.
For this cause the Lord has said, If you will come back, then I will again let you take your place before me; and if you give out what is of value and not that which has no value, you will be as my mouth: let them come back to you, but do not go back to them.
20 И дам тя людем сим аки стену крепку, медяну: и поратуют на тя и не возмогут на тя, яко Аз с тобою есмь, да спасу тя и избавлю тя, рече Господь:
And I will make you a strong wall of brass to this people; they will be fighting against you, but they will not overcome you: for I am with you to keep you safe, says the Lord.
21 избавлю тя от рук злейших и искуплю тя от рук губителей.
I will keep you safe from the hands of the evil-doers, and I will give you salvation from the hands of the cruel ones.
