Книга пророка Иеремии 46
1 Слово, еже бысть ко Иеремии пророку от Господа на языки,
These are messages that Yahweh gave to the prophet Jeremiah about [other] 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.
After Jehoiakim, son of King Josiah, had been ruling Judah for almost four years, this message about Egypt was given [by Yahweh]. It was when the army of King Neco of Egypt was defeated by the army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon along the Euphrates River. [This is what Yahweh said: “The officers of the army of Egypt are saying to their troops],
3 Возмите оружие и щиты и идите на брань,
‘Prepare your shields and march out to fight the battle!
4 оседлайте кони и вседайте, всадницы, и станите во шлемех ваших, уставите копия и облецытеся в броня вашя.
Put harnesses on your horses, and get on their backs. (Get into your positions/Line up) [for the battle]; put on your helmets. Sharpen your spears, and put on your armor!’
5 Что убо видех их страшливых и хребты обращающих? Крепцыи их избити, побегоша скоро и не озрешася вспять, отвсюду страх, глаголет Господь.
But what [RHQ] do I see? I see that the soldiers of Egypt will be terrified and will be fleeing. [Even] the bravest of their soldiers will be running away, without [even] looking backward! [I, ] Yahweh, say that [their soldiers] will be terrified on all sides!
6 Не утечет легкий, ниже возможет избавитися крепкий на полунощь: близ реки Евфрата побеждени суть и падоша.
[Even] the fastest [runners] will try to run away, but [even the greatest of] their warriors will not escape. In the north, by the Euphrates [River], they will stumble and fall.
7 Кто есть той, иже яко река восходит, и яко реки воздвижутся волны его?
What group is this that will be covering the land like the water of the Nile [River] covers the land when it floods?
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.
[It is the army of] Egypt that will be covering the land like a surging/huge flood, and they will boast that they will cover the earth and will destroy cities and the people [who live in them].
9 Возсядите на кони и устройте колесницы, изыдите, сильнии Муринстии, и Ливиане вооруженнии щитами, и Лидяне, взыдите наляцающе лук.
You [riders of] horses, charge/rush [into the battle]! You [drivers of] chariots, drive furiously! [All] you warriors from Ethiopia and Libya who carry your shields, you warriors from Lydia who shoot arrows, you come!
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.
But, [you need to know that] this is the day when [I], Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels, will get revenge on my enemies. With my sword [PRS] I will kill [my enemies] until I am satisfied; my sword will [be like a monster that] [MET, PRS] drinks the blood [of the animals it kills] until it is no longer thirsty. [The enemy soldiers who will be killed] in the north beside the Euphrates River [will be like] [MET] a sacrifice to [me], the Commander of the armies of angels.
11 Взыди в Галаад и возми ритину, дево, дщи Египетска! Всуе умножила еси врачевания твоя, и цельбы несть тебе.
You people [IDM] of Egypt, go up to the Gilead [region] to obtain medicine; but it will be useless to take all those medicines; you will not be healed.
12 Услышаша языцы глас, и плачь твой наполни землю: яко сильный сретеся с сильным, и оба вкупе изнемогоста и падоста.
[People in] the [other] nations will hear how you were humiliated. [People] all over the earth will hear you wailing. [Your mighty] warriors will stumble over each other and they will all fall down together.”
13 Слово, еже глагола Господь ко Иеремии пророку о сем: яко име приити Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский и поразити землю Египетску.
[Then] Yahweh gave me this message about King Nebuchadnezzar when he planned to attack Egypt [with his army]:
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.
“Shout [this message] throughout Egypt! Proclaim it in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpenes [cities]! ‘(Get into your positions/Line up) [for the battle]; Prepare to defend yourselves, because [everyone] around you will be killed.’ [PRS, MTY]
15 Почто убежа от тебе апис? Телец избранный твой не пребысть, яко Господь разруши его.
Your god is a bull; Why does he fall down? He will not be able to stand up, because Yahweh will knock him down.
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.
The soldiers from other countries will stumble and fall over each other, and [then] they will say to each other, ‘Let’s get up and go back to our own people, to our own land. Let’s get away from the swords of our enemies!’
17 Назовите имя фараона Нехао царя Египетска, смятение преведе время.
There [in Egypt] they will say, ‘The king of Egypt talks loudly, but when our [army] had an opportunity [to defeat our enemies], they failed.’
18 Живу Аз, глаголет Царь, Господь Вседержитель имя Его: ибо, якоже Фавор на горах и якоже Кармель в мори, приидет.
[I, ] the King, who am called the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘As [surely as] I live, someone’s army will be coming [to fight against the army of Egypt]. They will be [extremely powerful], [as though they were as tall] as Tabor Hill, or [as high] as Carmel [Mountain] close to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
19 Сосуды пленения сотвори себе, живущая дщи Египетска, яко Мемфис в запустение будет, и наречется, увы! И не будут в нем жити.
[All] you people who live in Egypt, pack your possessions/clothes and prepare to be exiled. Memphis [city] will be destroyed; it will become a ruin, and no one will be living there.
20 Юница (избранна и) украшена Египет, разорение от полунощи прииде на ню,
Egypt is [like] [SIM] a beautiful young cow, but [the army of a powerful king] from the northeast will come to attack it [like] a horsefly [MET] [bites a cow].
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.
The (mercenaries/soldiers [from other countries] who have been hired) will become like [SIM] fat calves; but they also will turn around and run away; they will not stand [there and fight], because it will be a day when there will be a [great] disaster in Egypt, a day when their people will be [greatly] punished.
22 Глас их, якоже змиа звиздающаго, понеже с силою пойдут, со секирами приидут на него.
[The soldiers of] Egypt will run away, as silently as a snake scurries/crawls away. [The army of] the enemy will advance; they will march along carrying their axes like [SIM] men who cut down trees.
23 Яко древие секуще посекут лес его, глаголет Господь Бог: ибо не может сочтен быти, яко умножишася паче пругов, и несть им числа.
[I, ] Yahweh, say that they will kill the soldiers [of Egypt] as though [SIM] they were a forest of trees, because the enemy soldiers will be as numerous as [a swarm of] locusts.
24 Посрамленна есть дщи Египетска и дана в руце людем полунощным.
The people of Egypt will be humiliated; they will be conquered by people from the northeast.’
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,
[I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israelis [worship], say, ‘I will punish Amon, [the god whom the people] of Thebes [city] worship, and [all] the [other] gods in Egypt. [I will punish] the King of Egypt and [all] those who trust 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.
I will cause them to be captured by those who want to kill them—Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon, and his army officers. But many years later, people will live in Egypt again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’
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.
But you people of Israel who serve me, do not be at all dismayed [DOU] now, because some day I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will again live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] to cause you to be terrified.
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.
[I, ] Yahweh, say to you people of Israel who serve me, ‘Do not be afraid, because I will be with you. I will completely destroy the nations among whom I have scattered you, but I will not completely get rid of you. I will punish you, but I will punish you only as severely as you deserve: It would be wrong if I did not punish you at all.’”
