Книга пророка Иеремии 16
1 И бысть слово Господне ко мне, рекущее: и ты да не поймеши жены,
A message from the Lord that came to me, saying,
2 и не родится тебе сын, ниже дщерь на месте сем.
Don't marry or have children here.
3 Яко сия глаголет Господь от сынех и дщерех, иже родятся на месте сем, и о матерех их, яже родиша их, и о отцех их родивших я в земли сей:
This is what the Lord says about children born here, and about their mothers and fathers—their parents here in this country:
4 смертию лютою изомрут, не оплачутся и не погребутся: во образ на лицы земли будут и мечем падут и гладом скончаются, и будут трупие их во снедь птицам небесным и зверем земным.
They will die from fatal diseases. No one will mourn for them. Their bodies won't be buried, but will lie on the ground like manure. They will be destroyed by war and famine, and their bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals.
5 Сия глаголет Господь: да не внидеши в дом их пирный, ни да ходиши плакати, ниже да рыдаеши их, понеже отях мир Мой от людий сих, рече Господь, милость и щедроты.
This is what the Lord says: Don't enter a home where people are having a funeral meal. Don't visit them to mourn or to offer condolences, for I have taken away my peace, my trustworthy love, and my mercy from these people, declares the Lord.
6 И умрут велицыи и малии в земли сей: не погребутся, ни оплачутся, ниже терзание о них будет, ниже обриются ради их,
Everyone, from the most important to the least, will die in this country. They will not be buried or mourned; there will be no rites for the dead such as cutting oneself or shaving of heads.
7 и не преломят хлеба во стенании их ко утешению над мертвым, и не дадут им пития чаши ко утешению над отцем и материю их.
No funeral receptions will be held to comfort those who mourn—not even a comforting drink is to be offered at the loss of a father or mother.
8 И в дом пирный да не внидеши седети с ними, еже ясти и пити.
Don't go into a house where people are celebrating and sit down with them to eat and drink.
9 Понеже сия глаголет Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: се, Аз отиму от места сего во очию вашею и во днех ваших глас радости и глас веселия, глас жениха и глас невесты.
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am going to put a stop right here, while you watch, to any sounds of celebration and joy, the happy voices of the groom and bride.
10 И будет, егда возвестиши людем сим вся словеса сия, и рекут к тебе: вскую глаголал есть Господь на нас вся злая сия? Кая неправда наша? И кий грех наш, имже согрешихом Господу Богу нашему?
When you explain all this to them they'll ask you, “Why has the Lord ordered that such a terrible disaster should happen to us? What did we do wrong? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?”
11 И речеши к ним: понеже оставиша Мя отцы ваши, глаголет Господь, и идоша вслед богов чуждих, и послужиша им и поклонишася им, Мене же оставиша и закона Моего не сохраниша:
Answer them: It's because your forefathers deserted me, declares the Lord. They went and followed other gods, serving them and worshiping them. They abandoned me and didn't keep my laws.
12 и вы горше деласте, неже отцы ваши, и се, вы ходите кийждо вслед похотей сердца вашего лукаваго, еже не слушати Мене:
You however have done even more evil than your forefathers. Look at how all of you followed your own stubborn evil thinking instead of obeying me.
13 и изрину вас от земли сея в землю, еяже не весте вы и отцы ваши, и послужите тамо богом чуждим день и нощь, иже не дадут вам милости.
So I'm going to throw you out of this country and exile you in a country unfamiliar to you and your forefathers. There you'll serve other gods day and night, because I won't help you at all.
14 Сего ради, се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и не рекут ктому: жив Господь, иже изведе сынов Израилевых от земли Египетския:
But listen! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when people won't any longer make vows, saying. “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites out of Egypt.”
15 но: живет Господь, иже изведе сынов Израилевых от земли северныя и от всех стран, аможе извержени быша: и возвращу их в землю их, юже дах отцем их.
Instead they'll say, “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites back from the northern country and all the other countries where he had exiled them.” I'm going to bring them back to the country I gave their forefathers.
16 Се, Аз послю рыбари многи, рече Господь, и уловят их: и посем послю многи ловцы, и уловят их на всяцей горе и на всяцем холме и от пещер каменных.
But for the moment I'm going to send for many fishermen and they'll catch them, declares the Lord. Then I'm going to send for many hunters, and they'll hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from their hiding places in the rocks.
17 Яко очи Мои на всех путех их, не сокровени суть от лица Моего, и не утаена суть беззакония их от очию Моею.
I see everything they're doing. They can't hide from me, and their sins aren't hidden from me either.
18 И воздам первее сугубая беззакония и грехи их, имиже оскверниша землю Мою в мертвечинах мерзостей своих и в беззакониих своих, имиже наполниша достояние Мое.
First I'm going to pay them back double for their wickedness and sin, because they have made my land unclean with the lifeless bodies of their disgusting idols, filling my special country with their offensive pagan images.
19 Господи, Ты крепость моя и помощь моя и прибежище мое во днех злых: к Тебе языцы приидут от последних земли и рекут: воистинну лживых стяжаша отцы наши идолов, и несть в них пользы.
Lord, you are my strength and my fortress, my safe place in the time of trouble. Nations will come to you from all over the earth, and they will say, “The religion of our forefathers was a total lie! The idols they worshiped were useless—no good at all.
20 Еда сотворит себе человек боги, и тии не суть бози?
How can people make gods for themselves? These aren't gods!”
21 Сего ради, се, Аз покажу им во время сие руку Мою и знаему сотворю им силу Мою, и познают, яко имя Мне Господь.
Now they'll see! I'll show them, and then they'll recognize my power and strength. Then they'll know that I am the Lord!
