Книга пророка Иеремии 20
1 И услыша Пасхор сын Еммеров священник, иже поставлен бе началник в дому Господни, Иеремию пророчествующа словеса сия:
Pashhur, the son of Immer, was a priest who supervised the temple guards. He heard those things that I had prophesied.
2 и удари Пасхор Иеремию пророка и вверже его в кладу, яже бе во вратех Вениаминих вышних в дому Господни.
[So he arrested me]. Then he [commanded guards to] whip me and fasten my feet in (stocks/a wooden frame) at the Benjamin Gate of Yahweh’s temple.
3 Бывшу же утру, изведе Пасхор Иеремию от клады. И рече к нему Иеремиа: не Пасхор нарече (Господь) имя твое, но Преселника Отвсюду.
The next day, when Pashhur released me, I said to him, “Pashhur, Yahweh is giving you a new name. From now on, your name will be ‘Surrounded by Terror’,
4 Понеже сия глаголет Господь: се, Аз дам тя в преселение и всех другов твоих: и падут мечем враг своих, и очи твои узрят, и тебе и всего Иуду дам в руки царя Вавилонска, и преведут их в Вавилон и побиют их мечьми.
because Yahweh says this [to you]: ‘I will cause you and your friends to be terrified. You will watch them being killed by your enemies’ swords. I will enable the [army of the] king of Babylon to capture the people of Judah. Those soldiers will take some of the people to Babylon, and they will kill others with their swords.
5 И дам всю силу града сего и вся труды его и вся сокровища царя Иудина дам в руки врагов его, и расхитят их и возмут и отведут в Вавилон.
And I will enable their soldiers to take away [other things in] Jerusalem. They will take to Babylon all the very valuable things that belonged to your kings.
6 Ты же, Пасхор, и вси обитателие дому твоего, отидете во пленение, и в Вавилон приидеши и тамо умреши, тамо же и погребешися ты и вси друзие твои, имже пророчествовал еси лжу.
And [as for] you, Pashhur, they will take you and all your family to Babylon. You and your family and all your friends who have prophesied things that are lies will die there and be buried there.’”
7 Прельстил мя еси, Господи, и прельщен есмь, креплейший мене еси и превозмогл еси: бых в посмех весь день, вси ругаются мне.
[One day I said this to Yahweh]: “Yahweh, [when you chose me to be a prophet, ] deceived me, and I allowed you to deceive me. You insisted that I [become a prophet] and you are stronger than I am. And now everyone [HYP] ridicules me. They make fun of me all the day.
8 Понеже горьким словом моим посмеюся, отвержение и бедность наведу, яко бысть в поношение мне слово Господне и в посмех весь день.
When I tell [people your messages], I shout saying, ‘[Yahweh is going to cause you to experience] violence and destruction!’ So because I tell them those messages from you, they insult me and scoff at me all day long.
9 И рекох: не воспомяну имене Господня, ниже возглаголю ктому во имя Его. И бысть в сердцы моем яко огнь горящь, палящь в костех моих, и разслабех отвсюду, и не могу носити:
But if I would say, ‘I will never mention Yahweh or say anything about him, [MTY]’ [it would be as though] your message would burn in my inner being like [SIM] a fire; it would be like a fire in my bones. Sometimes I try to remain silent and not proclaim your messages, but I am not able to do that.
10 слышах бо досадителства многих собравшихся окрест: нападите, нападим нань, вси мужие друзие его: наблюдайте помышление его, аще (како) прельстится, и преможем нань и сотворим отмщение наше ему.
I hear many people whispering [about me], saying ‘[He is the man who proclaims that there will be things that cause us to] be terrified everywhere. We must tell [the authorities what he is saying]! We must denounce him!’ [Even] my best friends are waiting for me to say something that is wrong. [They are saying], ‘Perhaps we can cause him to say something wrong, and if he does, we will be able to discredit him.’
11 Господь же со мною есть яко борец крепкий: сего ради погнаша и уразумети не могоша: постыдешася зело, яко не разумеша безчестия своего, еже во век не забвено будет.
But [you], Yahweh, are helping me like [SIM] a strong warrior, so [it is as though] you will cause those who persecute me to stumble, and they will not defeat me. They will be completely disgraced because of being unable to defeat me; and other people will never forget that they were disgraced.
12 И Ты, Господи сил, искушаяй праведная, ведаяй утробы и сердца, (молютися, ) да вижду мщение Твое на них, Тебе бо открых прю мою.
Commander of the armies of angels, you examine [all] those who are righteous; you know [all that is in] their inner beings and what they think. Allow me to see you getting revenge on those [who want to harm me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
13 Пойте Господу, хвалите Господа, яко избави душу убогаго от руки лукавых.
Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh! He rescues [poor and] needy people, from those [SYN] who are wicked.
14 Проклят день, в оньже родихся: день, в оньже породи мя мати моя, да не будет благословен.
But I hope/desire that the day that I was born will be cursed. I do not want [anyone to] celebrate that day.
15 Проклят муж, иже возвести отцу моему, рекий: родися тебе отрок мужеск, и яко радостию возвесели его.
And [as for] that man who brought to my father the news, and caused him to be very happy, by saying “[You wife] has given birth to a son for you”, I hope/desire that he [also] will be cursed.
16 Да будет человек той якоже гради, яже преврати Господь яростию и не раскаяся: да слышит вопль заутра и рыдание во время полуденное:
Allow him to be destroyed like the cities that Yahweh destroyed [long ago], without acting mercifully [toward them]. Cause that man to hear the people wailing in the morning, and [to hear the enemy soldiers shout their] battle cries at noon.
17 яко не убил мене в ложеснах матере, и была бы мне мати моя гроб мой и ложесна зачатия вечнаго.
[I want that to happen to him] because he did not kill me before I was born. I wish that I had died in my mother’s womb, and that my mother’s body would have been [like] [MET] my grave.
18 Вскую изыдох из ложесн, да вижду труды и болезни, и скончашася в постыдении дние мои?
I have continually experienced much trouble and sorrow, and I am disgraced now when I am about to die; why was it necessary [RHQ] for me to me born?
