Книга пророка Иеремии 37
1 И царствова Седекиа сын Иосиин вместо Иехонии сына Иоакимова, егоже постави Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский царствовати во Иудеи.
And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar 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, hearkened to the words of the LORD, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
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 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to the LORD our God for us.
4 Иеремиа же свободен прихождаше и прохождаше среде града, не введоша бо его во храмину темничную.
Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
5 И сила фараоня изыде из Египта, и слышавше Халдее облегшии Иерусалим слух их, отступиша от Иерусалима.
Then Pharaoh’s army had come from Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
6 И бысть слово Господне ко Иеремии глаголя:
Then came the word of the LORD to the prophet Jeremiah, 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 saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you to me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which hath come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
8 и возвратятся Халдее и повоюют град сей, и возмут его и пожгут его огнем.
And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take 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 saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
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 though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, 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, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
12 изыде Иеремиа из Иерусалима ити в землю Вениаминю, еже купити оттуду посреде людий.
Then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself from there 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.
And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest 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.
Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took 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.
Therefore the princes were angry with Jeremiah, and beat him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
16 И прииде Иеремиа в дом рва и в херет, и седе ту дни многи.
When Jeremiah had entered into the dungeon, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there 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.
Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
18 И рече Иеремиа царю: чим преобидех тя и отроки твоя и люди сия, яко ты вдаеши мя в дом темничный?
Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, How have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
19 И где суть пророцы ваши прорицавшии вам, глаголюще, яко не приидет царь Вавилонский на вас и на землю сию?
Where are now your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor 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.
Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to 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 Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the baker’s street, until all the bread in the city should be consumed. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
