Книга пророка Иеремии 41
1 И бысть в седмый месяц, прииде Исмаил сын Нафаниин сына Елисамова, от рода царева, и вельможи царевы десять мужей с ним ко Годолии в Массифаф, и ядоша ту вкупе хлеб.
The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord (now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the country of his dominion, were warring against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Juda, ) saying,
2 И воста Исмаил и десять мужей иже с ним, и поразиша Годолию мечем, и убиша, егоже постави царь Вавилонский над землею,
Thus has the Lord said; Go to Sedekias king of Juda, and thou shalt say to him, Thus has the Lord said, This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it, and shall burn it with fire:
3 и всех Иудеев, иже беша с ним в Массифафе, и всех Халдеев, иже обретошася тамо, и мужей военных изби Исмаил.
and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt certainly be taken, and shalt be given into his hands; and thine eyes shall see his eyes, and thou shalt enter into Babylon.
4 И бысть во вторый день по убиении Годолиеве, и человек не уведе.
But hear the word of the Lord, O Sedekias king of Juda; Thus saith the Lord,
5 И приидоша мужие от Сихема и от Салима и от Самарии осмьдесят мужей, обритыми брадами и растерзаными ризами, плачущеся, и дары и фимиам в руку их, еже внести в дом Господень.
Thou shalt die in peace: and as they wept for thy fathers that reigned before thee, they shall weep also for thee, [saying], Ah lord! and they shall lament for thee down to the grave: for I have spoken the word, said the Lord.
6 И изыде противу им Исмаил сын Нафаниев от Массифы: тии же идяху и плакахуся: и егда сретеся с ними, рече к ним: внидите ко Годолии.
And Jeremias spoke to king Sedekias all these words in Jerusalem.
7 И бысть, вшедшым им среде града, изсече я Исмаил у кладязя, той и мужие, иже беша с ним.
And the host of the king of Babylon warred against Jerusalem, and against the cities of Juda, and against Lachis, and against Azeca: for these strong cities were left among the cities of Juda.
8 И обретошася десять мужей ту и реша Исмаилу: не убий нас, яко суть нам имения на нивах, пшеница и ячмень, и мед и масло. И мину их и не уби их посреде братий их.
The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, after king Sedekias had concluded a covenant with the people, to proclaim a release;
9 И кладязь, в оньже вверже Исмаил вся, яже изби, сей кладязь велик есть, егоже сотвори царь Аса, от лица Ваасы царя Израилева, сей наполни Исмаил убиенными.
That every one should set at liberty his servant, and every one has handmaid, the Hebrew man and Hebrew woman, that no man of Juda should be a bondman.
10 И обрати Исмаил вся люди оставшыя в Массифафе и дщери царевы, яже вручил архимагир Годолии сыну Ахикамову, и взя их Исмаил сын Нафань: и отиде на ону страну сынов Аммоних.
Then all the nobles, and all the people who had entered into the covenant, [engaging] to set free every one his man-servant, and every one his maid, turned,
11 И слыша Иоанан сын Кариев и вси воеводы силы, иже с ним, вся злая, яже сотвори Исмаил сын Нафаниев,
and gave them over to be men-servants and maid-servants.
12 и приведоша вся воя своя и идяху воевати нань, и обретоша его при воде мнозе во Гаваоне.
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,
13 И бысть, егда увидеша вси людие, иже со Исмаилом, Иоанана сына Кариева и вся воеводы силы, иже быша с ним, возрадовашася:
Thus saith the Lord; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day wherein I took them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
14 и возвратишася вси людие, ихже плени Исмаил от Массифы, и возвратившеся отидоша ко Иоанану сыну Кариеву.
When six years are accomplished, thou shalt set free thy brother the Hebrew, who shall be sold to thee: for he shall serve thee six years, and [then] thou shalt let him go free: but they hearkened not to me, and inclined not their ear.
15 Исмаил же уцеле со осмию мужи от лица Иоананя и иде ко сыном Аммоним.
And this day they turned to do that which was right in my sight, to proclaim every one the release of his neighbour; and they had concluded a covenant before me, in the house whereon my name is called.
16 И взя Иоанан и вси воеводы силы, иже с ним, вся оставшыяся люди, ихже возврати от Исмаила сына Нафаня из Массифафа, повнегда уби Годолию, сына Ахикамля, мужы сильны на рати, и жены, и останки, и каженики, ихже обрати от Гаваона,
But ye turned and profaned my name, to bring back every one his servant, and every one his handmaid, whom ye had sent forth free [and] at their own disposal, to be to you men-servants and maid-servants.
17 и идоша, и седоша на земли Вирофоамли, яже ко Вифлеему, еже ити и внити во Египет от лица Халдейска: понеже убояшася от лица их:
Therefore thus said the Lord; Ye have not hearkened to me, to proclaim a release every one to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a release to you, to the sword, and to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will give you up to dispersion [among] all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 яко уби Исмаил Годолию, егоже постави царь Вавилонский на земли Иудине.
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not kept my covenant, which they made before me, the calf which they prepared to sacrifice with it,
the princes of Juda, and the men in power, and the priests, and the people;
I will even give them to their enemies, and their carcases shall be food for the birds of the sky and for the wild beasts of the earth.
And I will give Sedekias king of Judea, and their princes, into the hands of their enemies, and the host of the king of Babylon [shall come upon] them that run away from them.
Behold, I [will] give command, saith the Lord, and will bring them back to this land; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire, and the cities of Juda; and I will make them desolate without inhabitants.
