Книга пророка Иеремии 36
1 И бысть в лето четвертое Иоакима, сына Иосиина, царя Иудина, бысть слово Господне ко Иеремии глаголя:
When Jehoiakim had been the king of Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave this message to me:
2 возми себе свиток книжный и напиши в нем вся словеса, яже соглаголах к тебе на Израиля и на Иуду и на вся языки, от негоже дне глаголах к тебе, от дне Иосии царя Иудина и до сего дне:
“Get a scroll, and write on it the messages that I have given to you regarding Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Write all of the messages, starting from the time that I gave you the first message, when Josiah was the king, up until now.
3 негли услышит дом Иудин вся злая, яже Аз помышляю сотворити им, да отвратятся от пути своего злаго, и милостив буду неправдам их и грехом их.
When the people of Judah hear [again] about all the disasters that I plan to cause them to experience, perhaps each one of them will repent. If they do that, I will be able to forgive them for the wrong/evil things that they have done.”
4 И призва Иеремиа Варуха, сына Нириина: и вписа Варух от уст Иеремииных вся словеса Господня, яже соглагола к нему, во свиток книжный.
[So] I summoned Baruch, the son of Neraiah. Then, as I dictated to him all the messages that Yahweh had spoken to me, he wrote them on a scroll.
5 И заповеда Иеремиа Варуху глаголя: мене стрегут, и не могу внити в дом Господень,
Then I said to him, “I am not allowed to [leave here and] go to the temple.
6 ты убо вниди и прочти во свитце сем, в немже написал еси от уст моих словеса Господня, во ушы людий в дому Господни в день поста и во ушы всему дому Иудину, приходящым от градов своих, да прочтеши им:
So, you go [to the temple] on the [next] day when the people are (fasting/abstaining from food), and read to them the messages from Yahweh that you wrote while I dictated them to you. Read them [aloud] to all the people [who are there, including] the people of Judah who come [there] from their towns.
7 негли падет молитва их пред лицем Господним, и отвратятся от пути своего злаго: яко велика ярость и гнев Господень, егоже соглагола на люди сия.
Perhaps they will turn from their evil behavior and request Yahweh [to act mercifully toward them]. [They must do that, ] because Yahweh is very angry with them and has threatened to punish them severely.”
8 И сотвори Варух сын Нириин но всему, елика заповеда ему Иеремиа пророк прочести во книзе словеса Господня в дому Господни.
Baruch did what I told him to do. He [went to the temple and] read [to the people] all those messages from Yahweh.
9 И бысть в пятое лето Иоакима царя Иудина, в девятый месяц, заповедаша пост пред лицем Господним всем людем во Иерусалиме и всему множеству, еже снидеся от градов Иудиных во Иерусалим.
He did it in December on a day when their leaders had proclaimed that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who had come there from [other] towns in Judah should fast to [please/honor] Yahweh. [It was when] Jehoiakim had been king for almost five years.
10 И прочте Варух во книзе словеса Иеремиина в дому Господни, в дому Гамариеве, сына Сафаня книгочия, во дворе вышнем, во преддверии врат дому Господня новых, во ушы всех людий.
Baruch read to all the people the messages [that he had written] on the scroll. [He read them while he was] in the temple, in the room where Gemariah stayed. He was the son of Shaphan, [who had previously been the king’s] secretary. That room was close to the upper courtyard [of the temple], near the entrance to the temple that is [called] the New Gate.
11 И слыша Михей сын Гамариев, сына Сафаня, вся словеса Господня от книги.
When Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and grandson of Shaphan, heard those messages from Yahweh,
12 И сниде в дом царев, в дом книжника, и се, тамо вси князи седяху, Елисам книгочий и Далеа сын Селемиев, и Нафан сын Аховоров и Гамариа сын Сафань, и Седекиа сын Ананиин и вси князи,
he went down to the secretary’s room in the palace, where all the king’s officials were meeting. Elishama the [king’s] secretary [was there]. Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Acbor, Gemariah, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the [other] officials [of the king were also there].
13 и возвести им Михей вся словеса, яже слыша чтуща Варуха во ушы людем.
When Micaiah told them about the messages that Baruch had been reading to the people,
14 И послаша вси князи ко Варуху сыну Нириину, Иудину сыну Нафаниину, сына Селемиина, сына Хусиина, глаголюще: книгу, юже ты чтеши во ушы людем, возми ю в руку свою и прииди. И взя Варух сын Нириин книгу в руку свою и сниде к ним.
the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Shelemiah and great-grandson of Cushi, to tell Baruch to come [and read the messages to them, also]. So Baruch took the scroll and went to them.
15 И рекоша ему: паки прочти во ушы наши. И прочте Варух во ушы их.
They said to him, “Please sit down and read it [to us].” So Baruch did what they requested.
16 И бысть яко услышаша вся словеса, совещашася кийждо со ближним своим и реша Варуху: возвещающе возвестим царю вся словеса сия.
After they had heard all the messages, they were afraid. They looked at each other and [then] they said, “We must tell these messages to the king!”
17 И вопросиша Варуха, глаголюще: откуду еси вписал вся словеса сия?
Then they asked Baruch, “How did you get this scroll? Did Jeremiah dictate to you all the messages on this scroll?”
18 И рече Варух: от уст своих поведа ми Иеремиа вся словеса сия, аз же писах в книгу.
Baruch replied, “[Yes], Jeremiah dictated them to me, and I wrote them with ink on this scroll.”
19 И рекоша князи Варуху: иди и скрыйся ты и Иеремиа, и человек да не увесть, где вы.
Then the officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must both hide. Do not tell anyone where you are!”
20 И внидоша ко царю во двор, книгу же вдаша хранити в дому Елисама книгочия, и возвестиша царю вся словеса сия.
They put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the king’s secretary. Then they went to the king, who was in the courtyard, and reported to him everything [that Baruch had read to them].
21 И посла царь Иудина взяти книгу. И взя ю от дому Елисамы книгочия, и прочте Иудин во ушы царевы и во ушы всех князей стоящих окрест царя.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from Elishama’s room and read it to the king, while all the [king’s] officials were standing there.
22 Царь же седяше во храмине зимней, в девятый месяц, и поставлено бе пред ним огнище со огнем.
It was in the cold season, and the king was in a part of the palace where he stayed when it was cold. He was sitting in front of a fire [to keep/be warm].
23 И бысть чтущу Иудину третий лист и четвертый, раздроби я бритвою книгочия и возметаше на огненное огнище, дондеже скончася весь свиток на огненнем огнищи.
Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king cut off that section of the scroll with a knife and threw it into the fire. He did that, section by section, until the entire scroll was burned up.
24 И не ужасошася и не растерзаша риз своих царь и вси отроцы его, слышавшии вся словеса сия.
Neither the king nor his officials showed that they were afraid [that God would punish them]. They did not tear their clothes [to show that they were sorry for what they had done].
25 Елнафан же и Далеа, и Гамариа и Годолиа глаголаша царю, еже бы не сожещи свитка. И не послуша их.
Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not pay any attention.
26 И повеле царь Иеремеилу сыну цареву и Сараеви сыну Езриилеву и Селемию сыну Авдеилеву, да изымают Варуха книгочия и Иеремию пророка. Но сокры я Господь.
Then the king commanded his son Jerahmeel, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch and me. But [they were unable to do that because] Yahweh had hidden us.
27 И бысть слово Господне ко Иеремии, егда сожже царь свиток, вся словеса, яже вписа Варух от уст Иеремииных, глаголя:
After the king had burned the scroll on which were written the messages that I had dictated to Baruch, Yahweh said this to me:
28 паки возми ты свиток другий и впиши вся словеса бывшая во свитце, яже сожже царь Иоаким:
“Get another scroll, and [tell Baruch to] write everything again, the same messages that he had written on the scroll that the king burned.
29 и ко Иоакиму царю Иудину речеши: тако рече Господь: ты сожегл еси сию книгу, глаголя: почто вписал еси в ней, глаголя: входя внидет царь Вавилонский и потребит землю сию, и потребятся от нея человецы и скоти?
[Then go to] the king and say to him, ‘Yahweh says this: “You burned the scroll [because you did not like] what was written on it, that the king of Babylon would surely [RHQ] come [with his army] and destroy this land and get rid of all the people and the animals.
30 Того ради сице рече Господь на Иоакима царя Иудина: не будет ему седящаго на престоле Давидове, и будет тело его мертвое повержено на знои дневнем и на мразе нощнем:
Now this is what [I], Yahweh, say about [you], Jehoiakim: 'None of your descendants will rule this kingdom [MTY]. Your corpse will be thrown out [on the ground and not be buried]; it will be under the hot [sun] during the days and [struck by] frost during the nights.
31 и посещу нань и на его род и на отроки его, и наведу нань и на живущыя во Иерусалиме и на землю Иудину вся злая, яже соглаголах на ня, и не послушаша.
I will punish you and your family and your officials for their sins. And I will cause the people of Jerusalem and the people of the [other] towns in Judah to experience all the disasters that I promised, because you all would not pay attention [to what I said]!'” '”
32 И взя Варух свиток другий и вписа в нем от уст Иеремииных вся словеса книги, яже сожже Иоаким царь Иудин: и еще приложишася ему словеса множайша неже первая.
So I took another scroll, and again I dictated the messages to Baruch. He wrote everything that had been written on the [other] scroll, the one that King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. [But this time, I] added more messages.
