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 Yahweh said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not turn toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go out!
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 will happen when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go out?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh says: “Such as are for death, to death; such as are for the sword, to the sword; 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 Yahweh: “the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, 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? Who will mourn you? Who will come 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 Yahweh. “You have gone backward. Therefore I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you. I am weary of showing compassion.
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 didn’t 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 more than the sand of the seas. I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday. I have caused anguish and terrors to fall 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.
She who has borne seven languishes. She has given up the spirit. Her sun has gone down while it was yet day. She has been disappointed and confounded. I will deliver their residue to the sword before their enemies,” says Yahweh.
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 every one 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.
Yahweh said, “Most certainly I will strengthen you for good. Most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
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:
I will give your substance and your treasures for a plunder 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 them to pass with your enemies into a land which you don’t know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which will 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:
Yahweh, you know. Remember me, visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors. You are patient, so don’t take me away. 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. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.
17 Не седох в сонме их играющих, но бояхся от лица руки Твоея: на едине седях, яко горести исполнихся.
I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. 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, like 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 Yahweh says, “If you return, then I will bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take out the precious from the vile, you will be as my mouth. They will return to you, but you will 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. They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you,” says Yahweh.
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.”
