Книга пророка Иеремии 31
1 Во время оно рече Господь, буду в Бога роду Израилеву, и тии будут Ми в люди.
“At that time,” says the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
2 Тако рече Господь: обретох теплоту в пустыни со изгибшими от меча: идите и не потребите Израиля,
The LORD says, “The people who survive the sword found favour in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.”
3 Господь издалеча явится ему: любовию вечною возлюбих тя, того ради вовлекох тя в щедроты.
The LORD appeared of old to me, saying, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.
4 Яко возгражду тя, и возградишися, дево Израилева: возмеши тимпаны своя и изыдеши с собором играющих.
I will build you again, and you will be built, O virgin of Israel. You will again be adorned with your tambourines, and will go out in the dances of those who make merry.
5 Еще насадите винограды в горе Самарийстей, насаждающе насадите и похвалите.
Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and will enjoy its fruit.
6 Яко есть день воззвания отвещавающих в горах Ефремовых: востаните и взыдите в Сион ко Господеви Богу нашему:
For there will be a day that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim cry, ‘Arise! Let’s go up to Zion to 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.
For the LORD says, “Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations. Publish, praise, and say, ‘LORD, save your people, the remnant 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.
Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together. They will return as a great company.
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 with weeping. I will lead them with petitions. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they won’t stumble; for I am a father to Israel. 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.
“Hear the LORD’s word, you nations, and declare it in the distant islands. Say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.’
11 Яко избави Господь Иакова и изят его от руки сильнейших его.
For the LORD has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
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 come and sing in the height of Zion, and will flow to the goodness of the LORD, to the grain, to the new wine, to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. Their soul will be as a watered garden. They will not sorrow any more at all.
13 Тогда возрадуются девицы в собрании юношей, и старцы возрадуются: и обращу плачь их на радость, и утешу их, и сотворю их веселы.
Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance, the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 Возвеличу и упою душу жерцев сынов Левииных, и людие Мои благот Моих насытятся.
I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people will be satisfied with my goodness,” says 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.
The LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.”
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:
The LORD says: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” says the LORD. “They will come again from the land of the enemy.
17 и есть надежда последним твоим, (глаголет Господь, ) и возвратятся сынове твои в пределы своя.
There is hope for your latter end,” says the LORD. “Your children will come again to their own territory.
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:
“I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned, 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.
Surely after that I was turned. I repented. After that I was instructed. I struck my thigh. I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
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.
Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I still earnestly remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy on him,” says 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.
“Set up road signs. Make guideposts. Set your heart towards the highway, even the way by which you went. Turn again, virgin of Israel. Turn again to these your cities.
22 Доколе отвращаешися, дщи обезчествованая? Яко созда Господь спасение в насаждение ново, в немже спасении обыдут человецы.
How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the earth: a woman will encompass 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:
The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Yet again they will use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I reverse their captivity: ‘The LORD bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.’
24 и живущии во градех Иудиных и во всей земли его, купно со земледельцем, и вознесется во стаде.
Judah and all its cities will dwell therein together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
25 Яко упоих всяку душу жаждущу и всяку душу алчущу насытих.
For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”
26 Того ради востах от сна и видех, и сон ми сладок бысть.
On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
27 Се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и всею Израиля и Иуду семя человечо и семя скотское.
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of animal.
28 И будет, якоже бдех на ня потребити и озлобити, тако бдети буду о них, еже созидати и насаждати, рече Господь.
It will happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” says the LORD.
29 В тыя дни не рекут ктому: отцы ядоша кислая, а зубы детем оскомнишася:
“In those days they will say no more, “‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
30 но кийждо своим грехом умрет, и ядшему кислая оскоменятся зубы его.
But everyone will die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge.
31 Се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и завещаю дому Израилеву и дому Иудину завет нов,
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of 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.
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says 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 covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the LORD: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall 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.
They will no longer each teach his neighbour, and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD;’ for they will all know me, from their least to their greatest,” says the LORD, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
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.
The LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar— the LORD of Armies is his name, says:
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.
“If these ordinances depart from before me,” says the LORD, “then the offspring of Israel also will cease from being a nation before me forever.”
37 Аще премолкнут законы сии от лица Моего, рече Господь, то и род Израилев престанет быти язык пред лицем Моим во вся дни.
The LORD says: “If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done,” says the LORD.
38 Се, дние грядут, рече Господь, и созиждется град Господеви от столпа Анамеиля до врат уголных:
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that the city will be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.
39 и изыдет размерение его противу ему до могил Гарив, и оымется окрест избранным камением,
The measuring line will go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and will turn towards 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 whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate towards the east, will be holy to the LORD. It will not be plucked up or thrown down any more forever.”
