Книга пророка Иеремии 44
1 Слово бывшее ко Иеремии (от Господа) и ко всем Иудеем сущым в земли Египетстей и седящым во Магдале и во Тафнасе, и во Мемфисе и в земли Пафурсте, глаголя:
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
2 тако глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: вы видесте вся злая, яже наведох на Иерусалим и на грады Иудины: и се, пусти суть ныне от живущих,
“Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah. Behold, today they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them,
3 от лица злобы их, юже сотвориша разгневати Мя, ходяще кадити богом чуждим, ихже не ведесте вы сами и отцы ваши.
because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods that they didn’t know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.
4 И послах к вам отроки Моя пророки заутра, и посылах я, глаголя: не творите дела осквернения сего, егоже возненавидех.
However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, “Oh, don’t do this abominable thing that I hate.”
5 И не послушаша Мене, ни приклониша уха своего обратитися от злоб своих, еже не кадити богом инем.
But they didn’t listen and didn’t incline their ear. They didn’t turn from their wickedness, to stop burning incense to other gods.
6 И вскапа ярость Моя и гнев Мои и разгореся во вратех Иудиных и вне Иерусалима: и быша во опустение и в непроходимую до сего дне.
Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured out, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is today.’
7 И ныне сице рече Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев: вскую вы творите злобы велики на душы своя, еже изсещи вам мужы и жены, младенца и ссущаго от среды Иуды, да не останется ни един от вас,
“Therefore now Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the middle of Judah, to leave yourselves no one remaining,
8 разгневати Мя в делех рук ваших, кадити богом инем в земли Египетстей, в нюже приидосте жити тамо, да изсечени будете и в проклятие да будете и на укоризну во всех языцех земли?
in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to live, that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9 Еда забысте злобы отец ваших и злобы царей Иудиных, и злобы князей ваших и злобы вашя, и злобы жен ваших, яже сотвориша в земли Иудине и вне Иерусалима?
Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10 И не престаша даже до сего дне и не убояшася и не держахуся законов Моих и повелений Моих, яже дах пред лицем вашим и пред очима отец ваших.
They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.’
11 Того ради тако глаголет Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: се, Аз приставлю лице Мое на вы во зло, еже погубити вся люди Иудины:
“Therefore Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
12 и возму останки Иудины, иже поставиша лица своя, еже внити в землю Египетску и жити тамо, и изчезнут вси в земли Египетстей, и падут мечем и гладом, и изчезнут от мала даже до велика: и будут на укоризну и в пагубу и в проклятие:
I will take the remnant of Judah that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they will all be consumed. They will fall in the land of Egypt. They will be consumed by the sword and by the famine. They will die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine. They will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach.
13 и посещу на седящих в земли Египетстей, якоже посетих на Иерусалим, мечем и гладом и смертию,
For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;
14 и не будет уцелевша ни единаго же от оставших Иудиных, обитающих в земли Египетстей, еже возвратитися на землю Иудину, к нейже тии надеются душами своими возвратитися тамо: не возвратятся, разве избегшии.
so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will escape or be left to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there; for no one will return except those who will escape.’”
15 И отвещаша Иеремии вси мужие разумеющии, яко кадят жены их богом иным, и вся жены собор велик, и вси людие седящии в земли Египетстей, в земли Пафурсте, глаголюще:
Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
16 слово, еже глаголал еси к нам во имя Господне, не послушаем тебе,
“As for the word that you have spoken to us in Yahweh’s name, we will not listen to you.
17 яко творяще сотворим всякое слово, еже изыдет из уст наших, кадити царице небесней и возливати ей возлияния, якоже сотворихом мы и отцы наши, и царие наши и князи наши во градех Иудиных и вне Иерусалима: и насытихомся хлебов, и благо нам бысть, и зла не видехом.
But we will certainly perform every word that has gone out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.
18 И егда престахом кадити царице небесней и возливати возлияния, оскудехом хлебы вси мы, и мечем и гладом скончахомся.
But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of the sky, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.”
19 И егда кадихом мы царице небесней и возливахом ей возлияния, еда без мужей наших творихом ей опресноки и возливахом ей возлияния?
The women said, “When we burned incense to the queen of the sky and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?”
20 И рече Иеремиа всем людем сильным и всем женам и всем людем отвещавшым ему словеса, глаголя:
Then Jeremiah said to all the people—to the men and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,
21 не каждение ли, еже кадисте во градех Иудиных и внеуду Иерусалима вы и отцы ваши, и царие ваши и князи ваши и людие земли, помяну Господь, и взыде на сердце Его?
“The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, didn’t Yahweh remember them, and didn’t it come into his mind?
22 И не можаше Господь терпети ктому от лица злобы деяний ваших и от гнусностей, яже сотвористе: и бысть земля ваша во опустение и в непрохождение и в клятву, еже не быти живущым, якоже есть день сей,
Thus Yahweh could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which you have committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation, an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is today.
23 от лица сих, имже кадисте (идолом) и имиже согрешисте Господеви: и не послушасте гласа Господня, и в повелениих Его и в законе и во свидениих Его не ходисте, и постигнуша вы злая сия, якоже день сей.
Because you have burned incense and because you have sinned against Yahweh, and have not obeyed Yahweh’s voice, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is today.”
24 И рече Иеремиа людем и женам: слышите слово Господне, весь Иуда, иже есте в земли Египетстей:
Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear Yahweh’s word, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt!
25 тако рече Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев, глаголя: вы и жены вашя усты вашими соглаголасте и руками вашими исполнисте, глаголюще: творяще сотворим исповедания наша, яже обещахом кадити царице небесней и возливати возлияния ей: пребывающе пребысте во обетех ваших и творяще сотвористе я.
Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, “We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her.” “‘Establish then your vows, and perform your vows.’
26 Того ради слышите слово Господне, весь Иуда, седящии в земли Египетстей: се, кляхся именем Моим великим, рече Господь, аще будет ктому имя Мое во устех всего Иуды, еже рещи, жив Господь Бог, во всей земли Египетстей.
“Therefore hear Yahweh’s word, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: ‘Behold, I have sworn by my great name,’ says Yahweh, ‘that my name will no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “As the Lord Yahweh lives.”
27 Яко се, Аз возбудихся на ня озлобити их, а не благосотворити, и изчезнут весь Иуда живущии в земли Египетстей мечем и гладом, дондеже скончаются.
Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until they are all gone.
28 И уцелевшии от меча возвратятся на землю Иудину малым числом: и уведят оставшии Иудины, преселившиися в землю Египетску обитати тамо, слово чие пребудет, Мое, или их?
Those who escape the sword will return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah few in number. All the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will know whose word will stand, mine or theirs.
29 И сие вам знамение, глаголет Господь, яко посещу Аз на вы на месте сем, да уведите, яко воистинну исполнятся словеса Моя на вас во злая.
“‘This will be the sign to you,’ says Yahweh, ‘that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words will surely stand against you for evil.’
30 Тако рече Господь: се, Аз предаю фараона Вафриа царя Египетска в руце врага его и в руце ищущих души его, якоже дах Седекию царя Иудина в руце Навуходоносора царя Вавилонска врага его и ищущаго души его.
Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.’”
