Книга пророка Иеремии 24

1 Показа мне Господь, и се, две кошницы полны смоквий поставлены пред храмом Господним, повнегда преведе Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский Иехонию сына Иоакимова, царя Иудина, и началников его и художников, и узников и богатых от Иерусалима, и преведе их в Вавилон.

The LORD showed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

2 Кошница едина смоквий добрых зело, яко обычай смоквам быти первых времен, и кошница другая смоквий злых зело, ихже ясти не возможно за худость их.

One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

3 И рече Господь ко мне: что ты видиши, Иеремие? И рекох: смокви, смокви добрыя, добры зело: и злыя, злы зело, ихже ясти не возможно за худость их.

Then said the LORD to me, What see you, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

4 И бысть слово Господне ко мне, рекущее:

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

5 сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: якоже смокви сия благи, тако познаю преселеных Иудеев, ихже послах от места сего в землю Халдейску во благая:

Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.

6 и утвержу очи Мои на них во благая и преведу их паки в землю сию во благая: и возсозижду их и не разорю, и насажду их и не исторгну:

For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

7 и дам им сердце, да уведят Мя, яко Аз есмь Господь, и будут Мне в люди, и Аз буду им в Бога: понеже обратятся ко Мне всем сердцем своим.

And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return to me with their whole heart.

8 И якоже смокви злыя, ихже ясти не возможно за худость их, сия рече Господь, тако предам Седекию царя Иудина и началники его и останок от Иерусалима, иже осташа во граде сем и иже обитают во земли Египетстей,

And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus says the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:

9 и дам их в расточение и озлобление всем царствам земным, и будут в поношение и в притчу, и в ненависть и в проклятие во всех местех, в няже извергох их:

And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.

10 и послю на них мечь и глад и пагубу, дондеже изчезнут от земли, юже дах им и отцем их.

And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.
