Книга пророка Иеремии 31
1 Во время оно рече Господь, буду в Бога роду Израилеву, и тии будут Ми в люди.
At that time, I will be the God of all Israel's families, and they will be my people, declares the Lord.
2 Тако рече Господь: обретох теплоту в пустыни со изгибшими от меча: идите и не потребите Израиля,
This is what the Lord says: The Israelites who survive death by the sword were blessed by the Lord in the desert as they looked for peace and quiet.
3 Господь издалеча явится ему: любовию вечною возлюбих тя, того ради вовлекох тя в щедроты.
Long ago the Lord came and told us, My love for you will last forever. I hold you close to me with my trustworthy love.
4 Яко возгражду тя, и возградишися, дево Израилева: возмеши тимпаны своя и изыдеши с собором играющих.
I'm going to rebuild you, and it will happen. You will be rebuilt, Virgin Israel. You will pick up your tambourines again and run outside to dance with joy.
5 Еще насадите винограды в горе Самарийстей, насаждающе насадите и похвалите.
You will replant vineyards on Samaria's hills; those who plant and will enjoy the grapes.
6 Яко есть день воззвания отвещавающих в горах Ефремовых: востаните и взыдите в Сион ко Господеви Богу нашему:
A day is coming when watchmen will call out from the hills of Ephraim, “Come on, let's go up to Zion, to worship the Lord our God!”
7 яко тако рече Господь Иакову: возвеселитеся веселием и воскликните на главу языков: слышано сотворите и похвалите, рцыте: спасе Господь люди Своя, останок Израилев.
This is what the Lord says: Sing happily for the descendants of Jacob; shout for the greatest of all nations! Let everybody know! Praise and call out, “Lord, save your people, those who are left of Israel!”
8 Се, Аз веду их от севера и соберу их от конец земли в праздник Пасхи: и чадородит народ мног, и возвратятся семо.
Watch, because I will bring them back from the land of the north and gather them from the ends of the earth. Everyone will return, even the blind and the lame, pregnant women, even mothers giving birth—a great gathering coming home,
9 С плачем изыдоша, а со утешением возведу я, проводя чрез ровенники вод по пути праву, и не заблудят по нему: яко Аз бех Израилеви во отца, и Ефрем первенец Ми есть.
They will come back with tears in their eyes, and they will be praying as I take them home. I will lead them beside streams of waters, on level paths where they won't stumble. For I am Israel's Father; Ephraim is my firstborn.
10 Слышите, языцы, слово Господне, и возвестите во островех дальних и рцыте: Развеявый Израиля соберет его и снабдит его, яко пастырь стадо свое.
Listen, nations, to what the Lord has to say, and let others know about in faraway countries: The Lord who scattered Israel will gather them together and keep them safe, just like a shepherd looks after his flock.
11 Яко избави Господь Иакова и изят его от руки сильнейших его.
The Lord has redeemed the descendants of Jacob and rescued them from their enemies who had defeated them.
12 И приидут и возвеселятся в горе Сион, и приидут ко благотам Господним, на землю пшеницы и вина и плодов, и скотов и овнов: и будет душа их якоже древо плодовито, и не взалчут ктому.
They will return and celebrate with happy shouts on Mount Zion; their faces will beam over the Lord's wonderful gifts—the grain, new wine, and olive oil, and the young of their flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden; and they won't ever be depressed again.
13 Тогда возрадуются девицы в собрании юношей, и старцы возрадуются: и обращу плачь их на радость, и утешу их, и сотворю их веселы.
The girls will dance in celebration; young men and old people will join in too. I will turn their sorrow into joy, and I will comfort them and change their sadness into happiness.
14 Возвеличу и упою душу жерцев сынов Левииных, и людие Мои благот Моих насытятся.
I will give my priests everything they need and more, and my people will be more than satisfied with my goodness towards them, declares the Lord.
15 Тако рече Господь: глас в Раме слышан бысть плача и рыдания и вопля: Рахиль плачущися чад своих, и не хотяше утешитися, яко не суть.
This is what the Lord says: The sound of terrible weeping and mourning is heard in Ramah. It's Rachel crying for her children. They are dead, and she can't be comforted
16 Тако рече Господь: да почиет глас твой от плача и очи твои от слез, яко есть мзда делом твоим, глаголет Господь, и возвратятся от земли вражия:
This is what the Lord says: Don't cry anymore, don't weep anymore, because you're going to be rewarded for what you've done, declares the Lord. Your children will return from the country of your enemies.
17 и есть надежда последним твоим, (глаголет Господь, ) и возвратятся сынове твои в пределы своя.
So you can have hope for the future, declares the Lord. Your children will return to their own country.
18 Слышя слышах Ефрема плачуща: наказал мя еси, (Господи, ) и наказахся: аз якоже телец не научихся: обрати мя, и обращуся, яко Ты еси Господь Бог мой:
Don't worry, I've heard Ephraim's groans, saying, “You disciplined me really hard as if I was a calf that hadn't been trained. Please bring me back, let me return, for you are the Lord my God.
19 понеже последи пленения моего покаяхся и последи разумения моего возстенах в день посрамления и показах тебе, яко приях укоризну от юности моея.
When I came back to you I was sorry, and once I understood, I held my head in sadness. I was ashamed and I blushed, embarrassed at what I'd done when I was young.”
20 Сын любезен Мне, Ефрем, отроча питеющееся, понеже словеса Моя в нем, памятию воспомяну и: того ради потщахся о нем, милуяй помилую его, рече Господь.
But isn't Ephraim still my precious son, my lovely child? Even though I often have to scold him, I can't forget him. So I'm torn inside with longing, wanting to show how much I care about him! declares the Lord.
21 Постави себе самого, Сионе, стражу, сотвори мучение, направи сердце твое на путь прав, имже ходил еси: возвратися, девице Израилева, обратися во грады твоя рыдающи.
Put up markers on the road; make signposts for yourselves. You need to be sure you can find the highway, the road you traveled on. Come back, Virgin Israel, come back to your towns.
22 Доколе отвращаешися, дщи обезчествованая? Яко созда Господь спасение в насаждение ново, в немже спасении обыдут человецы.
How long are you going to waver in your decision, you unfaithful daughter? For the Lord has made something new happen here: a woman is going to protect a man.
23 Яко тако рече Господь: еще рекут слово сие в земли Иудейстей и во градех ея, егда возвращу преселение его: благословен Господь на праведней горе святей своей:
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: When I bring them back home from exile, they will say again in the land of Judah and in its towns: “May the Lord bless you, holy mountain of Jerusalem, home of what is good and right.
24 и живущии во градех Иудиных и во всей земли его, купно со земледельцем, и вознесется во стаде.
The people of Judah and all its towns will live together in the land, the farmers and those who move around with their flocks,
25 Яко упоих всяку душу жаждущу и всяку душу алчущу насытих.
because I'm going to give rest to those who are tired and give strength to all those who are weak.”
26 Того ради востах от сна и видех, и сон ми сладок бысть.
At this I woke up and looked around. I'd had a very pleasant sleep.
27 Се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и всею Израиля и Иуду семя человечо и семя скотское.
Look! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make the numbers of people and livestock grow in Israel and Judah.
28 И будет, якоже бдех на ня потребити и озлобити, тако бдети буду о них, еже созидати и насаждати, рече Господь.
I took care of them by uprooting them and tearing them down, by wiping them out and destroying them and bringing them disaster. Now I will take care of them by building them up and helping them grow, declares the Lord.
29 В тыя дни не рекут ктому: отцы ядоша кислая, а зубы детем оскомнишася:
At that time people won't repeat this proverb, “The fathers ate the unripe grapes, but their children got the sour taste.”
30 но кийждо своим грехом умрет, и ядшему кислая оскоменятся зубы его.
No. Each person will die because of their own sins. If anyone eats unripe grapes, they will get the sour taste themselves.
31 Се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и завещаю дому Израилеву и дому Иудину завет нов,
Look! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and Judah.
32 не по завету, егоже завещах отцем их в день, в оньже емшу ми за руку их, извести я от земли Египетския, яко тии не пребыша в завете Моем, и Аз небрегох их, глаголет Господь.
It won't be like the agreement that I made with their forefathers when I held their hands and led them out of Egypt. They broke that agreement, even though I was faithful like a husband to them, declares the Lord.
33 Яко сей завет, егоже завещаю дому Израилеву по днех онех, глаголет Господь: дая законы Моя в мысли их, и на сердцах их напишу я, и буду им в Бога, и тии будут Ми в люди:
But this is the agreement I'm going to make with the people of Israel at that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws inside them and write them in their minds. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
34 и не научит кийждо ближняго своего и кийждо брата своего, глаголя: познай Господа: яко вси познают Мя от мала даже и до великаго их: яко милостив буду неправдам их и грехов их не помяну ктому.
No one will need to teach a neighbor or their brother, telling them, “You ought to know the Lord.” For everyone will know me, from the smallest to the greatest. I will forgive them when they do wrong, and I will forget about their sins.
35 Аще возиесется небо на высоту, рече Господь, и аще смирится испод земли низу, и Аз не отвергу рода Израилева о всех, яже сотвориша, глаголет Господь.
This is what the Lord says, who provides the sun to give light during the day, who places in order the moon and stars to give light at night, who makes the sea rough so that its waves roar; his name is the Lord Almighty:
36 Тако рече Господь, давый солнце во свет дне, луну и звезды на свет нощи, и вопль на мори, и возшумеша волны его, Господь Вседержитель имя Ему.
Only if I allowed this order to fell apart, declares the Lord, would Israel's descendants stop being my people.
37 Аще премолкнут законы сии от лица Моего, рече Господь, то и род Израилев престанет быти язык пред лицем Моим во вся дни.
This is what the Lord says: Only if the heavens above could be measured, and the foundations of the earth below could be investigated, would I reject all of Israel's descendants because of everything they've done, declares the Lord.
38 Се, дние грядут, рече Господь, и созиждется град Господеви от столпа Анамеиля до врат уголных:
The time is coming, declares the Lord, when this city will be rebuilt for the Lord, all the way from the tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
39 и изыдет размерение его противу ему до могил Гарив, и оымется окрест избранным камением,
The builder's measuring line will again stretch out directly to Gareb Hill and then turn toward Goah.
40 и всю юдоль мертвых и пепела, и весь Ассаримоф даже до водотечи Кедрския, даже до угла коний врат восточных, освящение Господеви, и ктому не исторгнется и не потребится даже до века.
The entire valley, where the dead are buried and the trash is dumped, and all the fields from the Kidron Valley as far as the Horse Gate to the east, will be holy to the Lord. Jerusalem will never again be torn down or destroyed.
