Книга пророка Иеремии 5
1 Обыдите пути Иерусалимския и воззрите, и познайте и поищите на стогнах его, аще обрящете мужа творящаго суд и ищуща веры: и милосерд буду ему, глаголет Господь.
[Yahweh said to the people of Jerusalem], “Go up and down every street. Search in the marketplaces to find people who do what is fair/right, who try to be faithful to me. [If you find even one person like that], I will forgive [the people of Jerusalem and not destroy] their city.
2 Живет Господь, глаголют, сего ради не во лжах ли кленутся?
But when people there say, ‘I solemnly declare that as surely as Yahweh lives, [I will do what he says],’ they are lying.”
3 Господи, очи Твои (зрят) на веру: бил еси их, и не поболеша, сокрушил еси их, и не восхотеша прияти наказания: ожесточиша лица своя паче камене и не хотеша обратитися.
Yahweh, you are certainly [RHQ] searching for [people who tell the] truth. You struck/punished your people, but they did not pay any attention. You crushed them, but they ignored what you were telling them to do. They were extremely stubborn [IDM] and refused to return to you.
4 Аз же рех: негли убози суть (и буии), того ради не возмогоша, яко не уведаша пути Господня и суда Бога своего.
I thought, “[We cannot expect] these [people to act righteously, because they] are poor; they do not have any sense. They do not know the way Yahweh wants them to conduct their lives; they do not know what God requires them to do.
5 Пойду ко державным и возглаголю им, тии бо познаша путь Господень и суд Бога своего. И се, единодушно сии сокрушиша иго, расторгоша узы.
So, I will go and talk to their leaders, because they [surely] know how God wants them to conduct their lives.” But they also have stopped obeying Yahweh [MET], and they will not allow him to lead them.
6 Сего ради порази их лев от дубравы, и волк даже до домов погуби их, и рысь бдяше над градами их: вси исходящии от них будут яти, яко умножиша нечестия своя, укрепишася во отвращениих своих.
Because of that, lions will come out of the forests and kill them; wolves from the desert will attack them; leopards that lurk/wait outside their cities will maul anyone who walks outside the cities. [Those things will happen] because the people have sinned very much against God and have turned away from him very frequently.
7 О чем от сих милосерд буду тебе? Сынове твои оставиша Мя и кляшася теми, иже не суть бози: насытих их, и прелюбодействоваша и в домех блудниц обиташа,
Yahweh says, “I cannot [RHQ] forgive these people; [even] their children have abandoned me. When they solemnly declare something, they ask their gods [to show that what they say is true]. I gave my people everything that they needed, but they often went to [the shrines of their idols] and committed adultery there.
8 кони женонеистовни сотворишася, кийждо ко жене искренняго своего ржаше.
[Just like] [MET] well-fed male horses neigh, wanting sex with female horses, each of the men desires to have sex with his neighbor’s wife.
9 Еда о сих не посещу? Рече Господь: или языку сицевому не мстит душа Моя?
(Should I not punish them for this [RHQ]?/I will certainly get revenge on this nation for this!) I will certainly get revenge [RHQ] on this nation whose people behave like that!
10 Взыдите на стены его и разорите, окончания же не сотворите: оставите подпоры его, яко Господни суть.
[I will say to your enemies], ‘The people [of Judah and Israel are like a vineyard]. Go along the rows in their vineyards and get rid of [most of] the people, but do not kill all of them. These people do not belong to me, [so get rid of them], [like a gardener] [MET] lops/cuts off branches from a vine.
11 Преступлением бо преступил есть на Мя дом Израилев и дом Иудин глаголет Господь.
The people of Israel and Judah have turned away from me completely.’
12 Солгаша Господу своему и рекоша: не суть сия, ниже приидут на нас злая и меча и глада не узрим:
They have lied about me and said, ‘He will not punish us! He will not cause us to experience disasters! We will not experience wars or famines!
13 пророцы наши быша на ветр, и слово Господне не бе в них, тако будет им.
What [God’s] prophets say is nothing but hot air! They do not have messages [from God]! We would like [the disasters that they predict] to happen to them!’”
14 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь Сил: занеже глаголали есте слово сие, се, Аз даю словеса Моя во уста твоя огнь, и люди сия древа, и пояст их.
So, this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, has said to me: “Because my people are saying those things, I will give you a message to tell them [MTY] that will be [like] [MET] a fire, and [these people will be like] [MET] wood that the fire will burn up.
15 Се, Аз наведу на вас язык издалеча, доме Израилев, рече Господь, язык сильный, язык старый, егоже языка не увеси, (ни уразумееши, что глаголет):
Listen to this, you people of Israel: I will bring [the army of] a distant nation to attack you. It is a very powerful nation that has existed for a long time. They speak a language that you do not know and which you will not be able to understand.
16 тул его яко гроб отверст, вси крепцыи и поядят жатву вашу
Their soldiers are all very strong, and the arrows from their quivers [MET] will (send many Israeli men to their graves/cause many Israeli people to die).
17 и хлебы вашя, и поядят сынов ваших и дщерей ваших, и снедят овец ваших и телцев ваших, и поядят винограды вашя и смокви вашя и масличия ваша, и сокрушат грады вашя твердыя, на нихже вы уповасте, мечем.
They will eat the food that you have harvested from your fields, and eat your bread. They will kill your sons and daughters, and they will kill your flocks [of sheep] and herds [of cattle]. They will eat your grapes and your figs. They will [also] destroy your cities that have high walls around them and kill the people with their swords.
18 Обаче во днех онех, глаголет Господь Бог твой, не сотворю вас во истребление.
But even when those things happen, I will not get rid of all of you.
19 И будет, егда речете: почто сотвори Господь Бог наш нам сия вся? И речеши к ним: яко остависте Мя и послужисте богом чуждим в земли вашей, тако послужите богом чуждим в земли не вашей.
And when the survivors ask, ‘Why is Yahweh our God doing this to us?’ you will tell them, ‘You rejected him and worshiped foreign gods in your [own] land, so [now] you will become slaves of foreigners in a land that is not your land.’”
20 Возвестите сия дому Иаковлю и слышано сотворите в дому Иудине (рекуще):
[Yahweh said to me], “Proclaim this to the people of Israel and Judah:
21 слышите сия, людие буии и не имущии сердца, иже, имеюще очи, не видите, и ушы, и не слышите:
Listen to this, you people who are foolish and who do not have any sense: You have eyes, but [it is as though] you cannot see; you have ears, but [it is as though] you cannot hear.
22 Мене ли не убоитеся? Рече Господь: или от лица Моего не устыдитеся? Иже положих песок предел морю, заповедь вечну, и не превзыдет его, и возмутится и не возможет: и возшумят волны его, и не прейдут того.
Why do you not revere me [RHQ]? You should [RHQ] tremble when you are in my presence! I, Yahweh, am the one who put a barrier along the shores so that the waters of the ocean cannot cross it [and flood the land]. The waves roll and roar, but they cannot go past that barrier.
23 Людем же сим бысть сердце непослушно и непокориво, и уклонишася и поидоша,
But you people [are not like the waves that obey me]. You people are very stubborn and rebellious. You have constantly turned away from me.
24 и не рекоша в сердцы своем: убоимся Господа Бога нашего, дающаго нам дождь ранний и поздный во время исполнения повеления жатвы и хранящаго нам.
You do not say to yourselves, ‘We should revere Yahweh our God, the one who sends us rain at the times when we need it, the one who causes the grain to become ripe at the harvest season.’
25 Беззакония наша уклониша сия, и греси наши отринуша благая от нас.
It is because of the wrong things that you have done, that those good things have not happened; it is because of the sins that you have committed that you have been prevented from receiving those blessings.
26 Яко обретошася в людех Моих нечестивии, и сети поставиша, еже погубити мужы, и уловиша.
Among my people are wicked people who hide along the roads to ambush/attack people like [SIM] men who hunt birds (put out nets/set traps) to catch them.
27 Аки клетка поставлена полна птиц, тако домы их полни лести: сего ради возвеличишася и обогатишася:
Like [a hunter has] a cage full of birds [that he has captured], their homes are full of things that they have gotten by deceiving others. So now they are [very] rich and powerful.
28 утыша и утолстеша и преступиша словеса Моя злейшии: прю вдовицы не судиша, суда сира не управиша и суда убогим не судиша.
They are big and fat, and there is no limit to the evil things that they have done. They do not try to defend orphans in the courtrooms, and they do not help poor people to get what they have a right to receive.
29 Еда сих ради не посещу? Рече Господь: или языку сицевому не отмстит душа Моя?
So I will certainly [RHQ] punish them for doing those things. I will certainly [RHQ] (get revenge on their nation/do to their nation what they deserve).
30 Ужас и страшная содеяшася на земли:
Very appalling/horrible and terrible [DOU] things are happening in this country:
31 пророцы пророчествоваша неправедная, и священницы восплескаша руками своими, и людие Мои возлюбиша таковая. И что сотворите в последняя сих?
Prophets speak [only] lies and priests rule by their own authority, and you people like that! But when you [start to] experience disasters, what will you do [RHQ]?”
