Книга пророка Иеремии 50
1 Слово, еже рече Господь на Вавилон и на землю Халдейскую Иеремиею пророком.
The word that the LORD spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
2 Возвестите во языцех и слышано сотворите, воздвигните знамение, возопийте и не скрывайте, рцыте: пленен бысть Вавилон, посрамися Вил, победися Меродах, посрамишася изваяния его, сокрушишася кумиры их.
Declare you among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
3 Яко прииде нань язык от севера, той положит землю его в запустение, и не будет живяй в ней от человека даже и до скота: подвигнушася, отидоша.
For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
4 В тыя дни и в то время, глаголет Господь, приидут сынове Израилевы, тии и сынове Иудины вкупе ходяще и плачуще пойдут и Господа Бога своего взыщут.
In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.
5 Во Сион испытают стези, тамо бо обративше лица своя приидут и приложатся ко Господу заветом вечным, иже забвению не предастся.
They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
6 Овцы погибшыя быша людие Мои, пастырие их совратиша их и сотвориша я крытися по горам: с горы на холм ходиша.
My people has been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.
7 Забыша ложа своего, вси обретающии их снедаху их, и врази их рекоша: не пощадим их, зане согрешиша Господу, пажить правды, собирающему отцев их Господу.
All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
8 Отидите от среды Вавилона и от земли Халдейски изыдите, и будите яко козлища пред овцами.
Remove out of the middle of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
9 Яко се, Аз воздвигну и приведу на Вавилон собрания языков великих от земли полунощныя, и ополчатся нань: оттуду пленен будет, якоже стрела мужа сильна искусна и возвратится праздна.
For, see, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
10 И будет земля Халдейска в разграбление, вси грабителе ея наполнятся глаголет Господь:
And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, says the LORD.
11 зане веселистеся и велеречивасте, расхищающе наследие Мое, скакасте бо яко телцы на траве и бодосте якоже волы.
Because you were glad, because you rejoiced, O you destroyers of my heritage, because you are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
12 Поругана бысть мати ваша зело, и посрамися родившая вас: се, последняя во языцех пуста и непроходна и суха.
Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bore you shall be ashamed: behold, the last of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 От гнева Господня не поживут во век: но будет весь в запустение, и всяк ходяй сквозе Вавилон подивится и позвиждет над всякою язвою Его.
Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goes by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
14 Ополчитеся на Вавилон, вси окрестнии наляцающии лук, стреляйте нань, не щадите стрел ваших, понеже пред Господем согреши,
Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all you that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has sinned against the LORD.
15 возмите его: ослабеша руце его, падоша основания его, сокрушишася забрала его, яко месть Господня есть: отмстите ему, якоже сотвори, сотворите ему:
Shout against her round about: she has given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance on her; as she has done, do to her.
16 потребите семя от Вавилона, и держащаго серп во время жатвы от лица меча Еллинска, кийждо к людем своим обратится, и кийждо в землю свою убежит.
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handles the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
17 Овча заблуждающее Израиль, львове изнуриша е: первее яде его царь Ассур, сей же последний и кости оглода ему Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский.
Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria has devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.
18 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев: се, Аз посещу на царя Вавилонска и на землю его, якоже посетих на царя Ассурска,
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 и возведу паки Израиля на пажить его, и упасется в Кармиле и Васане, и в горе Ефремли и в Галааде, и насытится душа его.
And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on mount Ephraim and Gilead.
20 В тыя дни и в той час, глаголет Господь, поищут неправды Израилевы, и не будет, и грехов Иудиных, и не обрящутся: яко милостив буду им оставшымся.
In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
21 На землю владеющих взыди и на живущих в ней посети, разори и убий сущыя по них, глаголет Господь, и сотвори вся, елика заповедаю тебе.
Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, says the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded you.
22 Глас брани и сотрение велико в земли Халдейстей.
A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
23 Како сокрушися и сотреся млат всея земли? Како обратися в пустыню Вавилон во языцех?
How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
24 Взыдут на тя, и пленен будеши, и не познаеши, яко Вавилон еси: обретен и ят еси, понеже разгневал еси Господа.
I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have striven against the LORD.
25 Отверзе Господь сокровища Своя и изнесе сосуды гнева Своего, яко дело есть Господу Вседержителю в земли Халдейстей:
The LORD has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 яко приидоша времена его: отверзите хранилища его и испытайте и, аки вертеп, и погубите его, да не будет останка его.
Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
27 Изсушите вся плоды его, и да снидут в заклание: горе им, яко прииде день их и час отмщения их.
Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
28 Глас бежащих и избегших от земли Вавилонския, да возвестят в Сионе отмщение Господа Бога нашего, отмщение храма Его.
The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
29 Возвестите на Вавилон многим, всем наляцающым лук, ополчитеся нань окрест: да не убежит ни един из него: воздайте ему по делом его, по всему, елика сотвори, сотворите ему, яко воста на Господа Бога Святаго Израилева.
Call together the archers against Babylon: all you that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Сего ради падут юноши его на стогнах его, и вси мужие воинстии его низвержени будут в той день, глаголет Господь.
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD.
31 Се, Аз на тя, горде, глаголет Господь Бог Вседержитель, яко прииде день твой и час посещения твоего:
Behold, I am against you, O you most proud, says the Lord GOD of hosts: for your day is come, the time that I will visit you.
32 и падет гордыня твоя и разрушится, и не будет возставляяй ю: и возжгу огнь в дубраве его, и пояст вся окрестная его.
And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
33 Тако глаголет Господь Вседержитель: порабощение терпят сынове Израилевы и сынове Иудины, вкупе вси пленившии их поработиша их, не хощут бо отпустити их.
Thus says the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
34 Избавитель же их сильный, Господь Вседержитель имя Ему, судом судити имать супостаты своя, яко да избавит землю, и потрясет жительми Вавилонскими.
Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 Мечь на Халдеев, глаголет Господь, и на жители Вавилонския, и на князи и на мудрыя его,
A sword is on the Chaldeans, says the LORD, and on the inhabitants of Babylon, and on her princes, and on her wise men.
36 мечь на обаятели его, и буии будут, и мечь на сильныя его, и ослабеют:
A sword is on the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is on her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
37 мечь на кони его и на колесницы его, и на вся прочыя люди, иже суть посреде его, и будут яко жены: мечь на сокровища его, и расхитятся:
A sword is on their horses, and on their chariots, and on all the mingled people that are in the middle of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is on her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
38 мечь на воды его, и постыдятся, яко земля изваянных есть, и во островех хваляхуся.
A drought is on her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad on their idols.
39 Сего ради поживут мечты во островех, и поживут в нем дщери сиринов, и не будет живуща в нем ктому во веки, ниже соградится от рода в род.
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation.
40 Якоже преврати Господь Содома и Гоморра и окрестныя грады их, глаголет Господь, не пребудет тамо муж, ниже поживет в нем сын человечь.
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
41 Се, людие идут от севера, и язык велик, и царие мнози востанут от конец земли,
Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
42 луки и щиты имуще, грозни суть и немилостиви: глас их яко море возшумит, на кони возсядут, уготовани якоже огнь на брань противу тебе, дщи Вавилоня.
They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride on horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 Услыша царь Вавилонский слух их, и ослабеша руце его, скорбь объят его и болезни, яко раждающую.
The king of Babylon has heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
44 Се, яко лев изыдет от рыкания Иорданова на место Ефана, яко скоро отмщу их от него, и всякаго юношу над ним поставлю. Кто бо подобен Мне? И кто может стояти противу Мене? И кто есть пастырь сей, иже воспротивится лицу Моему?
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan to the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
45 Темже слышите совет Господень, егоже совеща на Вавилон, и умышления Его, яже умысли на землю Халдейску: аще не исторгнутся агнцы овец их, аще не будет разметана (вкупе с ними) пажить их.
Therefore hear you the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46 От гласа бо пленения Вавилонскаго потрясется земля, и вопль во языцех слышан будет.
At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
