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, "Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them 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.
It shall happen, when they tell you, 'Where shall we go forth?' Then you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for 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.
I will appoint over them four kinds, says the LORD: the sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the sky, and the animals 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.
I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which 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, Jerusalem? Or who will bemoan you? Or who will turn aside to ask of your 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
'You have rejected me,' says the LORD, 'you have gone backward:' therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am weary with repenting.
7 и расточу их расточением во вратех людий Моих: обезчадеша, погубиша людий Моих злобами своими, и не обратишася.
I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them of children, I have destroyed my people; they did not return from their ways.
8 Умножишася вдовицы их паче песка морскаго: наведох на матерь юношы, бедность о полудни, навергох на ню внезапу страх и трепет.
Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday; I have made anguish and terror to fall on them 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.
She who has borne seven languishes; she has given up the spirit; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she has been disappointed and confounded: and their residue will I deliver to the sword before their enemies," 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).
"Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth. I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet everyone of them curses 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, "Most certainly I will strengthen you for good; most certainly I will cause the enemy to make petition to you in the time of evil and in the time of distress.
12 Еда познается железо? И одеяние медяно крепость твоя.
Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and bronze?
13 И сокровища твоя в расхищение дам, измену за вся грехи твоя, и во всех пределех твоих:
Your substance and your treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
14 и порабощу тя окрест врагом твоим, в земли, еяже не веси: яко огнь возжжеся от ярости Моея, на вас горети будет.
I will make you serve your enemies in a land which you do not know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn 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:
"LORD, you know; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; do not take me away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.
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.
Your words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, LORD, God of hosts.
17 Не седох в сонме их играющих, но бояхся от лица руки Твоея: на едине седях, яко горести исполнихся.
I did not sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand; for you have 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, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?"
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 says the LORD, "If you return, then will I bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: they shall return to you, but you shall not return 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:
I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you," says the LORD.
21 избавлю тя от рук злейших и искуплю тя от рук губителей.
"I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible."
