Книга пророка Иеремии 17
1 Грех Иудин написан есть писалом железным на ногти адамантове, начертан на скрижали сердца их и на розех олтарей их.
“The sin of Judah has been written with a pen of iron and a point of diamond. It has been engraved upon the breadth of their heart and upon the horns of their shrines.
2 Егда воспомянут сынове их олтари своя и дубравы своя при древе лиственне и на холмех высоких,
And their sons make a remembrance of their shrines, and their sacred groves, and their leafy trees on high mountains,
3 о, нагорный (жителю)! Крепость твою и сокровища твоя в расхищение дам, и высокая твоя, грех ради твоих, яже во всех пределех твоих,
by sacrificing in the field. And so, I will give over your strength and all your treasures to be despoiled, along with your exalted places of sin, within all your borders.
4 и останешися един от наследия твоего, еже дах тебе: и служити тя сотворю врагом твоим в земли, еяже не веси: яко огнь разжегл еси в ярости Моей, даже во век горети будет. Сия глаголет Господь:
And you will be left behind without your inheritance, which I gave to you. And I will cause you to serve your enemies in a land that you do not know. For you have kindled a fire in my fury; it shall burn, even unto eternity.”
5 проклят человек, иже надеется на человека и утвердит плоть мышцы своея на нем, и от Господа отступит сердце его:
Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is a man who trusts in man, and who establishes what is flesh as his right arm, and whose heart withdraws from the Lord.
6 и будет яко дивия мирика в пустыни и не узрит, егда приидут благая, и обитати будет в сухоте и в пустыни, в земли сланей и необитаемей.
For he will be like a saltcedar tree in the desert. And he will not perceive it, when what is good has arrived. Instead, he will live in dryness, in a desert, in a land of salt, which is uninhabitable.
7 И благословен человек, иже надеется на Господа, и будет Господь упование его:
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, for the Lord will be his confidence.
8 и будет яко древо насажденное при водах, и во влаге пустит корение свое: не убоится, егда приидет зной, и будет на нем стеблие зелено, и во время бездождия не устрашится и не престанет творити плода.
And he will be like a tree planted beside waters, which sends out its roots to moist soil. And it will not fear when the heat arrives. And its leaves will be green. And in the time of drought, it will not be anxious, nor will it cease at any time to bear fruit.
9 Глубоко сердце (человеку) паче всех, и человек есть, и кто познает его?
The heart is depraved above all things, and it is unsearchable, who can know it?
10 Аз Господь испытуяй сердца и искушаяй утробы, еже воздати комуждо по пути его и по плодом изобретений его.
I am the Lord, who examines the heart and tests the temperament, who gives to each one according to his way and according to the fruit of his own decisions.
11 Возгласи ряб, собра, ихже не роди, творяй богатство свое не с судом: в преполовении дний своих оставит е и на последок свой будет безумен.
A partridge has hatched eggs that she did not lay; a man has gathered riches, but without judgment. In the midst of his days, he will leave it all behind, and he will be foolish concerning his very end.”
12 Престол славы возвышен от начала, место святыни нашея.
“A high and glorious throne is the place of our sanctification from the beginning.
13 Чаяние Израилево, Господи! Вси оставляющии Тя да постыдятся, отступающии (от Тебе) на земли да напишутся, яко оставиша источник живых вод, Господа.
O Lord, Hope of Israel: all who forsake you will be confounded. Those who withdraw from you will be written into the earth. For they have abandoned the Lord, the Source of living waters.
14 Изцели мя, Господи, и изцелею: спаси мя, и спасен буду, яко хвала моя Ты еси.
Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved. For you are my praise.
15 Се, тии глаголют ко мне: где есть слово Господне? Да приидет.
Behold, they themselves are saying to me: ‘Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come.’
16 Аз же не утрудихся, Тебе (пастырю) последуяй, и дне человеча не пожелах: Ты веси исходящая от устен моих, пред лицем Твоим суть:
But I am not troubled; I am following you as my shepherd. And I have not desired the day of man, as you know. That which has gone forth from my lips has been right in your sight.
17 не буди ми во отчуждение, упование мое Ты в день лют.
May you not be a dread to me. You are my hope in the day of affliction.
18 Да постыдятся гонящии мя, аз же да не постыждуся: да устрашатся тии, аз же да не устрашуся: наведи на них день озлобления, сугубым сокрушением сотри их.
May those who persecute me be confounded, but may I not be confounded. May they be fearful, and may I not be fearful. Lead over them the day of affliction, and crush them with a double destruction.”
19 Сия глаголет Господь ко мне: иди и стани во вратех сынов людий твоих, имиже входят царие Иудины и исходят, и во всех вратех Иерусалимских и речеши к ним:
Thus says the Lord to me: “Go, and stand at the gate of the sons of the people, through which the kings of Judah enter and depart, and at all the gates of Jerusalem.
20 слышите слово Господне, царие Иудины и вся Иудеа и весь Иерусалим, входящии во врата сия.
And you shall say to them: Listen to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and all of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter through these gates.”
21 Сия глаголет Господь: сохраните душы вашя и не носите бремен в день суббот, и не исходите враты Иерусалима,
Thus says the Lord: “Guard your souls, and do not choose to carry heavy things on the day of the Sabbath, nor should you carry these things through the gates of Jerusalem.
22 и не износите бремен из домов ваших в день субботный, и всякаго дела не творите: освятите день субботный, якоже заповедах отцем вашым:
And do not be willing to cast burdens out of your houses on the day of the Sabbath, nor should you do any work. Sanctify the day of the Sabbath, just as I instructed your fathers.
23 и не услышаша, ни приклониша уха своего, но ожесточиша выи своя паче отец своих, да не услышат мя и да не приимут наказания.
But they did not listen, nor did they incline their ear. Instead, they hardened their neck, lest they listen to me and receive discipline.
24 И будет, аще послушаете Мене, глаголет Господь, еже не вносити бремен во врата града сего в день субботный, и святити день субботный, не творити в онь всякаго дела,
And this shall be: If you listen to me, says the Lord, so that you do not carry in burdens through the gates of this city on the day of the Sabbath, and if you sanctify the day of the Sabbath, so that you do not do work in it,
25 и внидут во врата града сего царие и началницы, седящии на престоле Давидове и восходящии на колесницах и конех своих, тии и началницы их, мужие Иудины и обитателие Иерусалима: и обитати будут во граде сем во веки:
then there will enter through the gates of this city: kings and princes, sitting on the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city will be inhabited forever.
26 и приидут от градов Иудиных и от окрестных Иерусалима, и от земли Вениамини и от польных, и от горних и от юга, носяще всесожжения и жертву, и фимиам и манау и ливан, носяще хвалу в дом Господень.
And they will arrive from the cities of Judah and from all around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plains, and from the mountainous regions, and from the south, carrying holocausts, and victims, and sacrifices, and frankincense. And they will carry an oblation into the house of the Lord.
27 И будет, аще не послушаете Мене еже святити день субботный и не носити бремен, ниже входити вратами Иерусалима в день субботный, то зажгу огнь во вратех его, и пожрет домы Иерусалимли и не угаснет.
But if you will not listen to me, to sanctify the day of the Sabbath, and not to carry burdens, and not to bring these things through the gates of Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath, then I will kindle a fire at its gates, and it will devour the houses of Jerusalem, and it will not be extinguished.”
