< Книга пророка Иеремии 39 >
1 И бысть в девятое лето Седекии царя Иудина, в месяц десятый, прииде Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский и вся сила его на Иерусалим, и воеваху нань.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem, with his entire army, and they besieged it.
2 И в первоенадесять лето Седекии, в месяц четвертый, в девятый день месяца, разседеся град.
Then, in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, the city was opened.
3 И внидоша вси князи царя Вавилонска и седоша во вратех средних, Ниргелсарасар, Самагад, Навусахар, Навусарис, Нагаргас, Насерравамаг, и прочии воеводы царя Вавилонскаго.
And all the rulers of the king of Babylon entered and were seated at the middle gate: Nergal-Sharezer, the priest of Nebo, Sarsechim, the chief eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer, the chief magi, and all the other rulers of the king of Babylon.
4 И бысть егда узре я Седекиа царь Иудин и вси мужие ратнии, и избегоша, и изыдоша в нощи от града по пути вертограда царева и сквозе врата, яже беша между стеною и предстением: и изыдоша в путь пустыни.
And when Zedekiah, the king of Judah, with all the men of war, had seen them, they fled. And they departed from the city at night, by way of the king’s garden, and through the gate which was between the two walls. And they departed along the way of the desert.
5 И гнаша вслед их воинство Халдейско, и постигоша Седекию и поли пустыни Иерихонския, и емше приведоша к Навуходоносору царю Вавилонску во Ревлаф, иже в земли Емаф, и глагола к нему с судом.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them. And they overtook Zedekiah in the plain of the desert of Jericho. And having captured him, they led him to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he declared a judgment against him
6 И изби царь Вавилонский сыны Седекиины во Ревлафе пред очима его, и вся вельможы Иудины поби царь Вавилонский.
And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah, at Riblah, before his eyes. And the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 И очи Седекии изят, и окова его путы, и отведе его в Вавилон.
Also, he plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah. And he bound him with fetters, to be led away to Babylon.
8 Дом же царев и домы всех людий пожгоша Халдее огнем и стену Иерусалимску превратиша:
Also, the Chaldeans burned the house of the king and the house of the people with fire, and they overturned the wall of Jerusalem.
9 и останок людий, и оставших во граде, и убегшыя, иже утекоша ко царю Вавилонску, и останок людий, и оставших пресели Навузардан воевода в Вавилон:
And Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people who had remained in the city, and the fugitives who had fled to him, and all the rest of the people who had remained.
10 а от людий убогих, ничтоже имущих, остави Навузардан воевода воинств в земли Иудине, и даде им винограды и нивы в той день.
And Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, released some of the poor people, those who had almost nothing, into the land of Judah. And he gave them vineyards and cisterns in that day.
11 И заповеда Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский о Иеремии пророце Навузарданови воеводе воинств и рече:
Now Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had instructed Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, about Jeremiah, saying:
12 возми его и положи нань очи твои и ничтоже ему сотвори зла: но якоже восхощет, тако сотвори ему.
“Take him, and set your eyes on him, and you shall do no harm to him at all. But as he is willing, so shall you do with him.”
13 Посла убо Навузардан воевода воинства и Навузезван, и Рапсарис и Ниргел, и Сарасар и Фавман, и вси воеводы царя Вавилонска:
Therefore, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, sent, and Nebushazban, the chief eunuch, and Nergal-Sharezer, the chief magi, and all the nobles of the king of Babylon sent,
14 и послаша, и пояша Иеремию от двора темничнаго, и даша его Годолии сыну Ахикамову, сына Сафаня, и изведоша его, и седе среде людий.
and they took Jeremiah from the vestibule of the prison, and they delivered him to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, so that he could enter a house and live among the people.
15 И ко Иеремии бысть слово Господне ко дворе темничнем глаголя:
But the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah, when he had been confined to the vestibule of the prison, saying: “Go, and speak to Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian, saying:
16 иди и рцы ко Авдемелеху Мурину, глаголя: тако рече Господь Бог Израилев: се, Аз приношу словеса Моя на град сей во злая? А не во благая: и будут пред лицем твоим в той день:
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words over this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be in your sight in that day.
17 и избавлю тя в той день, и не дам тебе в руце человек, ихже ты боишися от лица их:
And I will free you in that day, says the Lord. And you will not be delivered into the hands of the men whom you dread.
18 яко избавляя спасу тя, и мечем не падеши: и будет душа твоя на обретение, яко уповал еси на Мя, рече Господь.
But when delivering, I will free you. And you will not fall by the sword. Instead, your life will be saved for you, because you had faith in me, says the Lord.”
