Книга пророка Иеремии 37
1 И царствова Седекиа сын Иосиин вместо Иехонии сына Иоакимова, егоже постави Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский царствовати во Иудеи.
And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king in the place of Conyahu the son of Jehoyakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
2 И не послуша той и отроцы его и людие земли словес Господних, яже глагола рукою Иеремииною.
But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the Lord, which he had spoken by means of Jeremiah the prophet.
3 И посла царь Седекиа Иоахала сына Селемиина и Софонию сына Массеа жерца ко Иеремии пророку, глаголя: молися за ны ко Господу Богу нашему.
And king Zedekiah sent Jehuchal the son of Shelemyah and Zephanyahu the son of Ma'asseyah the priest unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Pray now in our behalf unto the Lord our God.
4 Иеремиа же свободен прихождаше и прохождаше среде града, не введоша бо его во храмину темничную.
Now Jeremiah came and went out among the people; and they put him not into the prison-house.
5 И сила фараоня изыде из Египта, и слышавше Халдее облегшии Иерусалим слух их, отступиша от Иерусалима.
But the army of Pharaoh was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard the report of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
6 И бысть слово Господне ко Иеремии глаголя:
Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
7 тако рече Господь Бог Израилев: тако речеши царю Иудину, пославшему к тебе вопросити Мя: се, сила фараоня, изшедшая вам на помощь, возвратится паки до земли Египетския,
Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that hath sent you unto me to inquire of me, Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, returneth into its own land to Egypt.
8 и возвратятся Халдее и повоюют град сей, и возмут его и пожгут его огнем.
But the Chaldeans will come again, and fight against this city, and capture it, and burn it with fire.
9 Яко тако рече Господь: не прельщайте душ своих, глаголюще: отходяше отидут от нас Халдее: яко не отидут.
Thus hath said the Lord, Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans will certainly go away from us; for they will not go away.
10 И аще побиете всю силу Халдеев воюющих на вы, и останут нецыи язвени, кийждо на месте своем, сии востанут и пожгут град сей огнем.
For if even ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained among them [only such] men as are pierced through: yet should they rise up, every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
11 И бысть егда взыде сила Халдейска от Иерусалима, от лица силы фараони,
And it came to pass, when the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of the army of Pharaoh,
12 изыде Иеремиа из Иерусалима ити в землю Вениаминю, еже купити оттуду посреде людий.
That Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to make his escape thence in the midst of the people.
13 Внегда же быти ему во вратех Вениаминих, и (бысть) тамо человек, у негоже обита Саруиа сын Селемиин, сына Ананиина, и взя Иеремию, глаголя: ко Халдеем ты бежиши.
But as he was in the gate of Benjamin, there was there a captain of the guardsmen, whose name was Yiriyah, the son of Shelemyah, the son of Chananyah; and he seized hold of Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou runnest away to the Chaldeans.
14 И рече Иеремиа: лжа, не ко Халдеем аз бегу. И не послуша его. И взя Саруиа Иеремию и приведе его ко князем.
But Jeremiah said, It is false; I am not running away to the Chaldeans. But he listened not to him; and Yiriyah seized hold of Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
15 И разгневашася князи на Иеремию и биша его, и послаша его в дом Ионафана книгочия, яко той сотвориша храминою темничною.
Thereupon were the princes wroth with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for that had they made into a prison-house.
16 И прииде Иеремиа в дом рва и в херет, и седе ту дни многи.
When Jeremiah had been placed in the dungeon, within the traders' shops, where Jeremiah remained many days:
17 И посла Седекиа царь и призва его, и вопрошаше его царь отай, аще есть слово от Господа? И рече ему Иеремиа: есть. И рече: в руце царя и Вавилонска предан будеши.
King Zedekiah sent, and had him taken out, and the king asked him in his house in secret, and said, “Is there any word from the Lord?” And Jeremiah said, “There is:” and he said, Into the hand of the king of Babylon shalt thou be given up.
18 И рече Иеремиа царю: чим преобидех тя и отроки твоя и люди сия, яко ты вдаеши мя в дом темничный?
And Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I sinned against thee, and against thy servants, and against this people, that ye have put me into the prison-house?
19 И где суть пророцы ваши прорицавшии вам, глаголюще, яко не приидет царь Вавилонский на вас и на землю сию?
And where are now your prophets who have prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon will not come against you, and against this land?
20 Ныне же послушай, молютися, господи мой, царю, да падет моление мое пред лицем твоим: и не посылай мя паки в дом Ионафана книгочия, да не умру тамо.
Yet now, do but hear, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let me offer my humble supplication, I pray thee, before thee, that thou wilt not make me return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
21 И повеле царь, и ввергоша его во храмину темничную, и даяху ему хлеб един на день извне, идеже пекут, дондеже скончашася хлебы из града. И седяше Иеремиа во дворе темничнем.
Then commanded king Zedekiah that they should put Jeremiah in ward in the court of the prison, and that they should give him a loaf of bread for every day out of the bakers' street, until all the bread was spent out of the city. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
