Книга пророка Иеремии 46
1 Слово, еже бысть ко Иеремии пророку от Господа на языки,
That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
2 ко Египту противу силы фараона Нехао царя Египетскаго, иже бысть над рекою Евфратом во Кархамисе, егоже порази Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский, в лете четвертем Иоакима сына Иосиина, царя Иудина.
for Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that has been by the Euphrates River, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has struck, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
3 Возмите оружие и щиты и идите на брань,
“Set shield and buckler in array, And draw near to battle.
4 оседлайте кони и вседайте, всадницы, и станите во шлемех ваших, уставите копия и облецытеся в броня вашя.
Gird the horses, and go up, you horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail.
5 Что убо видех их страшливых и хребты обращающих? Крепцыи их избити, побегоша скоро и не озрешася вспять, отвсюду страх, глаголет Господь.
Why have I seen them dismayed [and] turned backward? And their mighty ones are beaten down, And they have fled [to] a refuge, And did not turn their face, Fear [is] all around—a declaration of YHWH.
6 Не утечет легкий, ниже возможет избавитися крепкий на полунощь: близ реки Евфрата побеждени суть и падоша.
The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the Euphrates River, They have stumbled and fallen.
7 Кто есть той, иже яко река восходит, и яко реки воздвижутся волны его?
Who is this? He comes up as a flood, His waters shake themselves as rivers!
8 Воды Египта аки река взыдут, и аки река восколеблются воды его. И рече: взыду и покрыю землю, и погублю град и живущыя в нем.
Egypt comes up as a flood, And the waters shake themselves as rivers. And he says, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
9 Возсядите на кони и устройте колесницы, изыдите, сильнии Муринстии, и Ливиане вооруженнии щитами, и Лидяне, взыдите наляцающе лук.
Go up, you horses; and boast yourselves, you chariots, And go forth, you mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling—treading the bow.
10 День сей Господа Бога Вседержителя, день отмщения, да отмстит врагом Своим, и пожрет я мечь Господень и насытится и упиется кровию их, яко жертва Господу Вседержителю в земли полунощней, близ реки Евфрата.
And that day [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword has devoured, and been satisfied, And it has been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the Euphrates River.
11 Взыди в Галаад и возми ритину, дево, дщи Египетска! Всуе умножила еси врачевания твоя, и цельбы несть тебе.
Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, You have multiplied medicines in vain, There is no healing for you.
12 Услышаша языцы глас, и плачь твой наполни землю: яко сильный сретеся с сильным, и оба вкупе изнемогоста и падоста.
Nations have heard of your shame, And your cry has filled the land, For the mighty stumbled on the mighty, Together they have fallen—both of them!”
13 Слово, еже глагола Господь ко Иеремии пророку о сем: яко име приити Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский и поразити землю Египетску.
The word that YHWH has spoken to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to strike the land of Egypt:
14 Возвестите Египту и разгласите во Магдалу, и возопийте во Мемфисе и во Тафнасе поведите: стой и уготовися, яко пожрет мечь сия, яже окрест тебе суть.
“Declare in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, And sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, say, Stand firm and prepare yourself, For a sword has devoured around you,
15 Почто убежа от тебе апис? Телец избранный твой не пребысть, яко Господь разруши его.
Why has your bull been swept away? He has not stood, because YHWH thrust him away.
16 И множество твое изнеможе и паде, и кийждо ко ближнему своему глаголаху: востаним и возвратимся к людем нашым и в землю рождения нашего от лица меча Еллинскаго.
He has multiplied the stumbling, Indeed, one has fallen on his neighbor, And they say: Rise, and we return to our people, And to the land of our birth, Because of the oppressing sword.
17 Назовите имя фараона Нехао царя Египетска, смятение преведе время.
They have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, The appointed time has passed by.
18 Живу Аз, глаголет Царь, Господь Вседержитель имя Его: ибо, якоже Фавор на горах и якоже Кармель в мори, приидет.
[As] I live—an affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea—he comes in,
19 Сосуды пленения сотвори себе, живущая дщи Египетска, яко Мемфис в запустение будет, и наречется, увы! И не будут в нем жити.
Make goods for yourself for removal, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becomes a desolation, And has been burned up, without inhabitant.
20 Юница (избранна и) украшена Египет, разорение от полунощи прииде на ню,
Egypt [is] a very beautiful heifer, Destruction comes into her from the north.
21 и наемницы его, живущии посреде его, якоже телцы тучнии питаеми в нем: зане и тии обратишася и побегоша вкупе, и не могоша стати, яко день погибели их прииде на ня и время отмщения их.
Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity has come on them, The time of their inspection.
22 Глас их, якоже змиа звиздающаго, понеже с силою пойдут, со секирами приидут на него.
Its voice goes on as a serpent, For they go with a force, And they have come in to her with axes, As hewers of trees.
23 Яко древие секуще посекут лес его, глаголет Господь Бог: ибо не может сочтен быти, яко умножишася паче пругов, и несть им числа.
They have cut down her forest, A declaration of YHWH, For it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
24 Посрамленна есть дщи Египетска и дана в руце людем полунощным.
The daughter of Egypt has been ashamed, She has been given into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Рече Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев: се, Аз посещу на Аммона сына ея, и на фараона и на Египет, и на боги его и на цари его, и на фараона и на уповающыя нань,
YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, has said: Behold, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting in him,
26 и дам их в руце ищущих души их, и в руку Навуходоносора царя Вавилонска, и в руце слуг его: и посем поживут якоже и первее, глаголет Господь.
And I have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterward it is inhabited, As [in] days of old—a declaration of YHWH.
27 Ты же не убойся, рабе мой Иакове, ни устрашайся, Израилю: се бо, Аз тебе спасена сотворю издалеча и семя твое от земли пленения их: и возвратится Иаков и почиет и благоуспеет, и не будет устрашаяй его.
And you, you do not fear, My servant Jacob, Nor [are] you dismayed, O Israel, For behold, I am saving you from afar—And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has turned back, And has been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
28 Не бойся, рабе Мой Иакове, глаголет Господь, яко с тобою есмь Аз: яко сотворю скончание во всех языцех, в няже извергох тя, тебе же не сотворю оскудети, но накажу тя судом и обезвиняя не обезвиню тя.
You do not fear, My servant Jacob, A declaration of YHWH, For I [am] with you, For I make an end of all the nations To where I have driven you, And I do not make an end of you, And I have reproved you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you!”
