Книга пророка Иеремии 19

1 Сия рече Господь ко мне: иди и стяжи сосуд скудельничь жжен, и приведи от старец людских и от старец священнических:

This is what the Lord has said: Go and get for money a potter's bottle made of earth, and take with you some of the responsible men of the people and of the priests;

2 и изыди в место многогробищное сынов Енноних, еже есть близ придверия врат Харсифских, и прочти тамо вся словеса, яже Аз возглаголю тебе,

And go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, by the way into the door of broken pots, and there say in a loud voice the words which I will give you;

3 и речеши им: слышите слово Господне, царие Иудины и мужие Иудины, и обитателие Иерусалима и входящии вратами сими: сия глаголет Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: се, Аз наведу злая на место сие, яко всякому слышащему сия зазвучит во ушию его:

Say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem; the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send evil on this place which will be bitter to the ears of anyone hearing of it.

4 понеже оставиша Мя, и чужде сотвориша место сие, и пожроша на нем богом чуждим, ихже не ведеша тии и отцы их: и царие Иудины наполниша место сие крове неповинных

Because they have given me up, and made this place a strange place, burning perfumes in it to other gods, of whom they and their fathers and the kings of Judah had no knowledge; and they have made this place full of the blood of those who have done no wrong;

5 и создаша высокая Ваалу на сожжение сынов своих огнем, во всесожжение Ваалу, яже не заповедах ни глаголах, ниже взыдоша на сердце Мое.

And they have put up the high places of the Baal, burning their sons in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me, and it was never in my mind:

6 Сего ради, се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и не прозовется ктому место сие Падение и место многогробищное сынов Енноних, но место многогробищное заклания:

For this cause, see, a time is coming, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death.

7 и расточу совет Иудин и совет Иерусалима в месте сем, и превращу их мечем пред враги их и в руку ищущих душ их: и дам трупие их в ядь птицам небесным и зверем земным:

I will make the purpose of Judah and Jerusalem come to nothing in this place; I will have them put to the sword by their haters, and by the hands of those who have designs on their life; and their dead bodies I will give to be food for the birds of heaven and the beasts of the earth.

8 и поставлю град сей в разорение и во звиздание: всяк, иже мимоидет, о нем почудится и позвиждет о всей язве его:

And I will make this town a thing of wonder and a cause of surprise; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder and make sounds of surprise, because of all its troubles.

9 и снедят плоти сынов своих и плоти дщерей своих, и кийждо плоти подруга своего снесть во обстоянии и в тесноте, в нейже запрут их врази их, ищущии души их.

I will make them take the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters for food, they will be making a meal of one another, because of their bitter need and the cruel grip of their haters and those who have made designs against their life.

10 И да сокрушиши сосуд пред очима мужей исходящих с тобою

Then let the potter's bottle be broken before the eyes of the men who have gone with you,

11 и речеши к ним: сия глаголет Господь Сил: тако сокрушу люди сия и град сей, якоже сокрушается сосуд скудельный, иже не может ктому изцелитися: и в Тофефе погребутся того ради, яко не будет иного места на погребение.

And say to them, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Even so will this people and this town be broken by me, as a potter's bottle is broken and may not be put together again: and the bodies of the dead will be put in the earth in Topheth, till there is no more room.

12 Тако сотворю месту сему, глаголет Господь, и обитателем его, да поставлю град той яко Падающь.

This is what I will do to this place, says the Lord, and to its people, making this town like Topheth:

13 И будут домы Иерусалима и домы царей Иудиных, якоже место Падающее, от нечистот своих во всех домех, в нихже жряху на кровех своих всему воинству небесному и приношаху возлияния богом чуждим.

And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which they have made unclean, will be like the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs perfumes have been burned to all the army of heaven, and drink offerings drained out to other gods.

14 И прииде Иеремиа от (места) Падения, аможе посла его Господь пророчествовати, и ста во дворе дому Господня и рече ко всем людем:

Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to give the prophet's word; and he took his place in the open square of the Lord's house, and said to all the people,

15 сия глаголет Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: се, Аз наведу на град сей и на вся грады его и на вся села его вся злая, яже глаголал есмь нань: яко ожесточиша выи своя, еже не слышати заповедий Моих.

The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send on this town and on all her towns all the evil which I have said; because they made their necks stiff, so that they might not give ear to my words.
