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 that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah — and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his force, and all kingdoms of the land of the dominion of his hand, and all the peoples are fighting against Jerusalem, and against all its cities — 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 said Jehovah, God of Israel: Go, and thou hast spoken unto Zedekiah king of Judah, and hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he hath burned 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 thou, thou dost not escape out of his hand, for thou art certainly caught, and into his hand thou art given, and thine eyes see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth with thy mouth speaketh, and Babylon thou enterest.
4 Но обаче слыши слово Господне, Седекие, царю Иудин! Тако глаголет Господь к тебе: не умреши от меча, но в мире умреши:
'Only, hear a word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah, Thus said Jehovah unto thee: Thou dost not die by 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.
in peace thou diest, and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings who have been before thee, so they make a burning for thee; and Ah, lord, they lament for thee, for the word I have spoken — an affirmation of Jehovah.'
6 И глагола Иеремиа пророк ко Седекии царю Иудину вся словеса сия во Иерусалиме.
And Jeremiah the prophet speaketh unto Zedekiah king of Judah all these words 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.
and the forces of the king of Babylon are fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that are left — against Lachish, and against Azekah, for these have been left among the cities of Judah, cities of fortresses.
8 Слово бывшее ко Иеремии от Господа, повнегда скончати царю Седекии завет к людем, иже во Иерусалиме, еже нарещи им отпущение,
The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after the making by the king Zedekiah of a covenant with all the people who [are] in Jerusalem, to proclaim to them liberty,
9 еже отпустити комуждо раба своего и комуждо рабыню свою, Евреанина и Евреаныню, свободны, да не работает муж от Израиля.
to send out each his man-servant, and each his maid-servant — the Hebrew and the Hebrewess — free, so as not to lay service on them, any on 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.
and hearken do all the heads, and all the people who have come in to the covenant to send forth each his man-servant and each his maid-servant free, so as not to lay service on them any more, yea, they hearken, and send them away;
11 И обратишася по сих вспять и удержаша паки рабы и рабыни своя, ихже отпустиша свободных, и взяша в рабы и рабыни.
and they turn afterwards, and cause the men-servants and the maid-servants to return, whom they had sent forth free, and they subdue them for men-servants and for maid-servants.
12 И бысть слово Господне ко Иеремии от Господа глаголя:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, 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 said Jehovah, God of Israel, I — I made a covenant with your fathers in the day of My bringing them forth from the land of Egypt, from a house of servants, 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 ye do send forth each his brother, the Hebrew, who is sold to thee, and hath served thee six years, yea, thou hast sent him forth free from thee: and your fathers hearkened not unto Me, nor 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 ye turn back, ye to-day, and ye do that which is right in Mine eyes, to proclaim liberty each to his neighbour, and ye make a covenant before Me in the house over which My name is called.
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.
And — ye turn back, and pollute My name, and ye cause each his man-servant and each his maid-servant, whom he had sent forth free, (at their pleasure, ) to return, and ye subdue them to be to you for men-servants and for maid-servants.
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 said Jehovah: Ye have not hearkened unto Me to proclaim freedom, each to his brother, and each to his neighbour; lo, I am proclaiming to you liberty — an affirmation of Jehovah — unto the sword, unto the pestilence, and unto the famine, and I have given you for a trembling to all 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 have given the men who are transgressing My covenant, who have not established the words of the covenant that they have made before Me, by the calf, that they have cut in two, and pass through between its pieces —
19 князи Иудины и князи Иерусалимли, и вельможы и жерцы и вся люди земли ходящыя между разделеным телцем,
heads of Judah, and heads of Jerusalem, the officers, and the priests, and all the people of the land those passing through between the pieces 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:
yea, I have given them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those seeking their soul, and their carcase hath been for food to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast 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 heads, I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those seeking their soul, and into the hand of the forces of the king of Babylon, that are going up from off 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.
Lo, I am commanding — an affirmation of Jehovah — and have brought them back unto this city, and they have fought against it, and captured it, and burned it with fire, and the cities of Judah I do make a desolation — without inhabitant.'
