Книга пророка Иеремии 18
1 Слово, еже бысть ко Иеремии от Господа, рекущее:
The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 востани и сниди в дом скудельничь, и тамо услышиши словеса Моя.
“Rise, and you have gone down [to] the potter’s house, and there I cause you to hear My words”;
3 И снидох в дом скудельничь, и се, той творяше дело на каменех.
and I go down [to] the potter’s house, and behold, he is doing a work on the stones,
4 И разбися сосуд, егоже той творяше от глины рукама своима: и паки той сотвори из него иный сосуд, якоже угодно во очию его творити.
and the vessel that he is making is marred, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he has turned and he makes it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
5 И бысть слово Господне ко мне, рекущее:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
6 еда, якоже скудельник сей, не возмогу сотворити вас, доме Израилев? Рече Господь: се, якоже брение в руку скудельника, тако вы есте, доме Израилев, в руку Моею:
“O house of Israel, am I not able to do to you as this potter?” A declaration of YHWH. “Behold, as clay in the hand of the potter, So [are] you in My hand, O house of Israel.
7 наконец возглаголю на язык и на царство, да искореню их и разорю и расточу я:
The moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy,
8 и аще обратится язык той от всех лукавств своих, то раскаюся о озлоблениих, яже помыслих сотворити им:
And that nation has turned from its evil, Because I have spoken against it, Then I have relented of the calamity that I thought to do to it.
9 и наконец реку на язык и царство, да возсозижду и насажду я,
And the moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant,
10 и аще сотворят лукавая пред очима Моима, еже не послушати гласа Моего, то раскаюся о благих, яже глаголах сотворити им.
And it has done evil in My eyes, So as not to listen to My voice, Then I have relented of the good That I have spoken of doing to it.
11 И ныне рцы ко мужем Иудиным и обитателем Иерусалима, рекий: сия рече Господь: се, Аз творю на вас злая и мышлю на вас умышление: да обратится убо кийждо от пути своего лукаваго, и исправите пути вашя и умышления ваша.
And now, speak now to men of Judah, And against inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am framing calamity against you, And devising a scheme against you; Please turn back, each from his evil way, And amend your ways and your doings.”
12 И рекоша: укрепимся, ибо по развращением нашым пойдем, и кийждо угодное сердца своего лукаваго сотворим.
And they have said, “It is incurable, For we go after our own plans, And each of us does the stubbornness of his evil heart.”
13 Сего ради сия глаголет Господь: вопросите ныне языков, кто слыша сицевая страшная, яже сотвори зело дева Израилева?
Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Now ask among the nations, Who has heard such things? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
14 Еда оскудеют от камене сосцы, или снег от Ливана? Еда уклонится вода зелно ветром носимая?
Does snow of Lebanon Cease from the rock of the field? Will the cold strange [waters] that are flowing be forsaken?
15 Понеже забыша Мене людие Мои всуе жруще, и изнемогут на путех своих и на стезях вечных, еже взыти на стези не имущыя пути на хождение,
But My people have forgotten Me, they make incense to a vain thing, And they cause them to stumble in their ways—paths of old, To walk in paths—a way not raised up,
16 еже положити землю свою в запустение и во звиздание вечное: всяк, иже прейдет по ней, почудится и покивает главою своею:
To make their land become a desolation, A continuous hissing, Everyone passing by it is astonished, And bemoans with his head.
17 якоже ветр палящь разсею их пред враги их, хребет, а не лице покажу им в день погибели их.
I scatter them before an enemy as with an east wind, I show them the neck and not the face, In the day of their calamity.”
18 И рекоша: приидите и умыслим на Иеремию совет, ибо не погибнет закон от священника, ни совет от премудраго, ни слово от пророка: приидите и поразим его языком, и не вонмем всем словесем его.
And they say, “Come, And we devise schemes against Jeremiah, For law does not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet, Come, and we strike him with the tongue, And we do not attend to any of his words.”
19 Вонми, Господи, мне и услыши глас оправдания моего.
Give attention, O YHWH, to me, And listen to the voice of those contending with me.
20 Еда воздаются злая за благая? Яко глаголаша словеса на душу мою и мучителство свое сокрыша ми. Помяни стоявшаго мя пред Тобою, еже глаголати за них благая, да отвращу гнев Твой от них.
Is evil repaid instead of good, That they have dug a pit for my soul? Remember my standing before You to speak good of them, To turn back Your wrath from them.
21 Сего ради даждь сыны их в глад и собери их в руце меча: да будут жены их безчадны и вдовы, и мужие их да будут убиени смертию, и юноши их да падут мечем на рати:
Therefore, give up their sons to famine, And cause them to run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men [are] struck by sword in battle,
22 да будет вопль в домех их: наведи на них разбойники внезапу, понеже совещаша слово, да имут мя, и сети скрыша на мя.
A cry is heard from their houses, For You suddenly bring a troop against them, For they dug a pit to capture me, And they have hidden snares for my feet.
23 Ты же, Господи, веси весь совет их на мя в смерть: да не очистиши беззакония их и грехов их от лица Твоего да не изгладиши: да будет болезнь их пред Тобою, и во время ярости Твоея сотвори им.
And You, O YHWH, You have known, All their counsel against me [is] for death, You do not cover over their iniquity, Nor blot out their sin from before You, And they are made to stumble before You, Work against them in the time of Your anger!
