Книга пророка Иеремии 34
1 Слово, еже бысть ко Иеремии от Господа, егда Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский и вси вои его, и вся земля власти его и вси людие воеваху на Иерусалим и на вся грады Иудины, глаголя:
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
2 тако рече Господь Бог Израилев: иди ко Седекии царю Иудину и речеши ему: тако рече Господь: преданием предастся сей град в руце царя Вавилонска, и возмет его и пожжет его огнем:
Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus said the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
3 и ты не уцелееши от руку его, и ят будеши, и в руце его предасися: и очи твои очи его узрят, и уста его со усты твоими соглаголют, и в Вавилон внидеши.
And you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and your eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Babylon.
4 Но обаче слыши слово Господне, Седекие, царю Иудин! Тако глаголет Господь к тебе: не умреши от меча, но в мире умреши:
Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus says the LORD of you, You shall not die by the sword:
5 и якоже плакаша отцев твоих царствовавших прежде тебе, восплачутся и тебе: увы, господи, и: увы, господи! Восплачутся и тебе, яко слово Аз соглаголах, рече Господь.
But you shall die in peace: and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings which were before you, so shall they burn odors for you; and they will lament you, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, says the LORD.
6 И глагола Иеремиа пророк ко Седекии царю Иудину вся словеса сия во Иерусалиме.
Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
7 И сила царя Вавилонска воева на Иерусалим и на грады Иудины оставшыяся: на Лахис и на Азику, яко тии осташася во градех Иудиных грады тверды.
When the king of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defended cities remained of the cities of Judah.
8 Слово бывшее ко Иеремии от Господа, повнегда скончати царю Седекии завет к людем, иже во Иерусалиме, еже нарещи им отпущение,
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;
9 еже отпустити комуждо раба своего и комуждо рабыню свою, Евреанина и Евреаныню, свободны, да не работает муж от Израиля.
That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.
10 И обратишася вси вельможи и вси людие вступившии в завет еже отпустити комуждо раба своего и комуждо рабу свою свободны и ктому не владети ими. Слышаша убо и отпустиша.
Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
11 И обратишася по сих вспять и удержаша паки рабы и рабыни своя, ихже отпустиша свободных, и взяша в рабы и рабыни.
But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
12 И бысть слово Господне ко Иеремии от Господа глаголя:
Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
13 тако рече Господь Бог Израилев: Аз завещах завет ко отцем вашым в день, в оньже избавих я от земли Египетския, из дому работы, глаголя:
Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves, saying,
14 егда скончаются шесть лет, да отпустиши брата своего Евреанина, иже продан есть тебе: и да делает ти шесть лет, и да отпустиши его свободна от себе. И не послушаша Мене отцы ваши, ни приклониша уха своего.
At the end of seven years let you go every man his brother an Hebrew, which has been sold to you; and when he has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you: but your fathers listened not to me, neither inclined their ear.
15 И обратистеся вы днесь сотворити правая пред очима Моима, еже нарещи комуждо отпущение ближняго своего: и совершисте завет пред лицем Моим в дому, идеже наречеся имя Мое в нем:
And you were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and you had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
16 и отвратистеся, и осквернисте завет Мой, еже возвратити комуждо раба своего и комуждо рабу свою, ихже отпустисте свободны душею их: и покористе их, якоже быти у вас в рабы и в рабыни.
But you turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.
17 Того ради сице рече Господь: вы не послушасте Мене, нарещи отпущения кийждо брату своему и кийждо ближнему своему: се, Аз нарицаю отпущение вам на мечь и на смерть и на глад, и дам вы на разсыпание всем царствам земным:
Therefore thus says the LORD; You have not listened to me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, said the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 и дам мужы преступившыя завет Мой и не хранящыя словес завета Моего, емуже соизволиша пред лицем Моим: телца егоже разсекоша на две части и ходиша между разделенными частьми его:
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in two, and passed between the parts thereof,
19 князи Иудины и князи Иерусалимли, и вельможы и жерцы и вся люди земли ходящыя между разделеным телцем,
The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
20 и дам я в руки врагом их и в руки ищущих души их, и будут трупи их в ядь птицам небесным и зверем земным:
I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat to the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
21 и Седекию царя Иудейска и князи его дам в руце врагов их и в руку ищущих души их и в руку воинства царя Вавилонска, отбегающих от них.
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up from you.
22 Се, Аз завещаю, рече Господь, и возвращу я в землю сию, и повоюют на ню, и возмут ю, и пожгут ю огнем и грады Иудины: и дам я в непроходны от живущих.
Behold, I will command, says the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
