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.
And the Lord said unto me, If Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my favor would [still] not be toward this people: send them away out of my sight, that they may go forth.
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 shall come to pass, if they should say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth, that thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, Such as are destined to death, to death; and such as are destined to the sword, to the sword; and such as are destined to famine, to famine; and such as are destined to captivity, to captivity.
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 appoint over them four species, saith the Lord: The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag away, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
4 И предам их во утеснение всем царствам земным, ради Манассии сына Езекиина царя Иудина за вся, яже сотвори во Иерусалиме.
And I will cause them to become a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth, on account of Menasseh the son of Hezekiah the king of Judah, because of 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 upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who will condole with thee? or who will go aside to ask after thy welfare?
6 Ты оставил Мя еси, рече Господь, вспять пошел еси: и простру руку Мою на тя и убию тя, и ктому не пощажу их
Thou hast indeed forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward; therefore do I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee: I am weary with repenting.
7 и расточу их расточением во вратех людий Моих: обезчадеша, погубиша людий Моих злобами своими, и не обратишася.
And I winnow them with a fan in the gates of the land: I make childless, I annihilate my people, [since] from their ways they have not turned away.
8 Умножишася вдовицы их паче песка морскаго: наведох на матерь юношы, бедность о полудни, навергох на ню внезапу страх и трепет.
Their widows are more numerous before me than the sand of the seas: I bring unto them, over the mothers of the young men, a waster at noonday; I cause to fall upon her suddenly the enemy with [his] terrors.
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.
She that had born seven children fadeth away; she breatheth out her soul, her sun is set while it is yet day; she is made ashamed and put to the blush: —and their residue will I give up to the sword before their enemies, saith 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).
Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast born me, a man of contention and a man of strife to the whole land! I have not lent, nor have men lent to me: [yet] every one of them curseth me.
11 Буди, Владыко, исправляющым им: аще не притекох ко Тебе во время озлобления их и во время скорби их, во благая на врага.
The Lord said, Truly I will release thee for [thy] good; truly I will cause the enemy to meet thee in the time of distress and in the time of affliction.
12 Еда познается железо? И одеяние медяно крепость твоя.
Can iron break in pieces the northern iron and copper?
13 И сокровища твоя в расхищение дам, измену за вся грехи твоя, и во всех пределех твоих:
Thy wealth and thy treasures will I give up as spoil without price, and this for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
14 и порабощу тя окрест врагом твоим, в земли, еяже не веси: яко огнь возжжеся от ярости Моея, на вас горети будет.
And I will cause them to pass over with thy enemies into a land which thou knowest not; for a fire is kindled in my anger, over you shall it burn.
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:
Thou well knowest it, O Lord! remember me and think of me, and avenge me on my persecutors; not according to thy long-suffering act thou for me: know, that for thy sake I have borne shame.
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.
When thy words were made manifest to me, then I greedily received them; and thy word became unto me the gladness and joy of my heart; for thy name is called upon me, O Lord of hosts.
17 Не седох в сонме их играющих, но бояхся от лица руки Твоея: на едине седях, яко горести исполнихся.
I sat not in the assembly of the mirthful, and was rejoiced; because of thy inspiration I sat solitary; for thou hadst filled me with indignation.
18 Вскую оскорбляющии мя возмогают на мя? Язва моя тверда, откуду изцелюся? Бысть мне яко вода лживая, не имущая верности.
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable? it refuseth to be healed; it is truly become unto me as a deceptive spring, as waters that are not reliable.
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.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord, If thou return, and I bring thee back again, then shalt thou stand before me; and if thou bring forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: these shall return unto thee; but thou shalt not return unto 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 thee unto this people as a fortified brazen wall; and they will fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
21 избавлю тя от рук злейших и искуплю тя от рук губителей.
And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the grasp of the tyrants.
