Книга пророка Иеремии 50
1 Слово, еже рече Господь на Вавилон и на землю Халдейскую Иеремиею пророком.
Yahweh gave to [me, ] Jeremiah the prophet, a message about Babylon [city] and the country of Babylonia.
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.
[This is what Yahweh says]: “Proclaim [DOU] [a message] among the nations; do not withhold any of it; raise up a signal flag to announce that Babylon will be captured. [Its chief god] Marduk, [whose other name is] Bel, will be completely disgraced, and all the [other] statues and idols will be shattered.
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.
[The army of] a nation will come from the north to attack Babylon and destroy the city very thoroughly, [with the result that] no one will live there [again]. Both people and animals will run away.”
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.
“But [I, ] Yahweh, say that in the future, when that is about to happen, the people of Israel and the people of Judah will join together. They will be weeping and wanting [to worship] me, their God.
5 Во Сион испытают стези, тамо бо обративше лица своя приидут и приложатся ко Господу заветом вечным, иже забвению не предастся.
They will inquire about the road to Jerusalem, [and then] they will start traveling [IDM] toward it. They will say [to each other], ‘We must return to Yahweh [again]!’ They will make an everlasting agreement with me that they will never forget.
6 Овцы погибшыя быша людие Мои, пастырие их совратиша их и сотвориша я крытися по горам: с горы на холм ходиша.
My people have been [like] [MET] lost sheep. Their [leaders/rulers] have caused them [to abandon me] like [MET] shepherds who have allowed their sheep to wander in the hills and mountains. [My people are like] [MET] sheep that do not know the path to return to the sheepfold.
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 their enemies who found them attacked them. They said, ‘We did not sin [by attacking them], because they sinned against Yahweh; he is the one who provides what they need; he is the one to whom they should have remained faithful; he is the one whom their ancestors confidently expected [to help them].’
8 Отидите от среды Вавилона и от земли Халдейски изыдите, и будите яко козлища пред овцами.
[But now, I say to the leaders of my people], ‘Flee from Babylon! Leave the land of Babylonia! Be like [SIM] male goats [that go] in front of [the rest of] the flock; [lead my people back to their own land].
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.
[Do that] because I am going to gather an army of great nations to the north [of Babylon]. They will join together to attack Babylon and will capture it. Their arrows will be like [SIM] skilled warriors that always hit what they aim at.
10 И будет земля Халдейска в разграбление, вси грабителе ея наполнятся глаголет Господь:
Babylonia will be conquered, and those who conquer it will take away everything they want. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 зане веселистеся и велеречивасте, расхищающе наследие Мое, скакасте бо яко телцы на траве и бодосте якоже волы.
“You people [of Babylon] who (plundered/stole everything valuable from) my chosen people, now you are very happy [DOU]. You run around joyfully like [SIM] a calf in a meadow, and are happy like [SIM] male horses are happy when they are neighing.
12 Поругана бысть мати ваша зело, и посрамися родившая вас: се, последняя во языцех пуста и непроходна и суха.
But [soon] your people will be very disgraced [DOU] [as a result of being conquered]. Your country will be the most insignificant nation; it will be a desert, a dry and deserted land.
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 [I, ] Yahweh, am angry [with you people of Babylon], I will cause your city to become completely deserted. All who pass by will be horrified and will (gasp/be shocked) because of the destruction there.
14 Ополчитеся на Вавилон, вси окрестнии наляцающии лук, стреляйте нань, не щадите стрел ваших, понеже пред Господем согреши,
[All you nations that surround Babylon, ] prepare to attack it! Tell your archers to shoot at their enemies; shoot all of your arrows at them [LIT], because [the people/leaders of Babylon have sinned against me, ] Yahweh.
15 возмите его: ослабеша руце его, падоша основания его, сокрушишася забрала его, яко месть Господня есть: отмстите ему, якоже сотвори, сотворите ему:
Shout [war-cries] against Babylon from all sides [of the city]. [The soldiers of] Babylon will surrender; the towers and walls will be torn down. It is [I, ] Yahweh, who will be getting revenge [on the people of Babylon], [so help me to] get revenge. Do to [the people of] Babylon what they have done to others!
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.
Take away from Babylon those who plant [crops] and those who reap the harvests! Because of the swords carried by those who will attack [Babylon], [those people in Babylon who have come from other countries] should all run away, back to their own countries [DOU]!”
17 Овча заблуждающее Израиль, львове изнуриша е: первее яде его царь Ассур, сей же последний и кости оглода ему Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский.
“The Israeli [people] are [like] [MET] sheep that have been scattered by lions. First [the army of] the King of Assyria defeated them. Then [the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon smashed them.
18 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев: се, Аз посещу на царя Вавилонска и на землю его, якоже посетих на царя Ассурска,
So this is what I, the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], say: ‘Now I will punish the King of Babylon and the people of his land, like I 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 the people of Israel back to their own land where they will eat [the food that grows] in the fields of the Carmel and Bashan [regions], and [the people in] the hilly areas of Ephraim and Gilead will have all they want to eat.
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.
At that time, there will not be people in Israel and in Judah who [are still guilty for having] sinned [DOU], because I will forgive the small group of people whom I enable to still be alive.’”
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.
“[So, I, Yahweh, say to the enemies of Babylonia, ]‘Attack [the people who live in] the Merathaim [region] and the people in the Pekod [region of Babylonia]. Pursue them, kill them, and completely get rid of them, as I have commanded you to do.
22 Глас брани и сотрение велико в земли Халдейстей.
Shout your battle cries throughout the land; shout [when you are causing] great destruction.
23 Како сокрушися и сотреся млат всея земли? Како обратися в пустыню Вавилон во языцех?
[The army of Babylon is like] [MET] the most powerful hammer on the earth, but it will be completely shattered. Babylon will be deserted among the [other] nations.’
24 Взыдут на тя, и пленен будеши, и не познаеши, яко Вавилон еси: обретен и ят еси, понеже разгневал еси Господа.
You [people of] Babylon, [listen, ] [because] I have set a trap for you; you will be caught [in that trap], because you fought against me.
25 Отверзе Господь сокровища Своя и изнесе сосуды гнева Своего, яко дело есть Господу Вседержителю в земли Халдейстей:
[It is as though] I have opened the place where I store my weapons, and I have brought out [all] the weapons [to use against the people with whom] I am angry. [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have [a lot of] work to do [to punish] the people of Babylonia.
26 яко приидоша времена его: отверзите хранилища его и испытайте и, аки вертеп, и погубите его, да не будет останка его.
[So, you enemies of Babylonia, ] come from distant lands and attack it. Break open the places where they store the grain. Crush the walls of the city and the houses and pile up [the rubble like] [SIM] heaps of grain. Destroy everything; do not leave anything that is not destroyed.
27 Изсушите вся плоды его, и да снидут в заклание: горе им, яко прииде день их и час отмщения их.
Destroy all the [young men who are as strong as] [MET] bulls; take them to where you will slaughter them. It will be terrible for them, because it will be time for them to be punished.
28 Глас бежащих и избегших от земли Вавилонския, да возвестят в Сионе отмщение Господа Бога нашего, отмщение храма Его.
Listen to the people who have fled and escaped from Babylon while they tell in Jerusalem how [I, ] Yahweh, have gotten revenge against those who destroyed my temple [in Jerusalem].
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.
Summon archers [DOU] to come to attack Babylon; surround the city in order that no one will escape. Do to [the people of] Babylon what they have done to others [DOU], because they have defied [me, ] the Holy One of the Israeli [people].
30 Сего ради падут юноши его на стогнах его, и вси мужие воинстии его низвержени будут в той день, глаголет Господь.
The young men of Babylon will fall in the streets; all their soldiers will be killed in one day.
31 Се, Аз на тя, горде, глаголет Господь Бог Вседержитель, яко прииде день твой и час посещения твоего:
[I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘You arrogant/proud people, it is now the time; it is the time [DOU] when I will punish you.
32 и падет гордыня твоя и разрушится, и не будет возставляяй ю: и возжгу огнь в дубраве его, и пояст вся окрестная его.
[Your land is full of] proud people, but you will stumble and fall, and no one will lift you up [again]. I will light a fire in the cities in Babylonia that will burn up everything that is nearby.’
33 Тако глаголет Господь Вседержитель: порабощение терпят сынове Израилевы и сынове Иудины, вкупе вси пленившии их поработиша их, не хощут бо отпустити их.
[I], the Commander of the armies of angels, also say this: ‘The people of Israel and Judah were (oppressed/treated cruelly); those who captured them guarded them carefully and would not allow them to leave [Babylon].
34 Избавитель же их сильный, Господь Вседержитель имя Ему, судом судити имать супостаты своя, яко да избавит землю, и потрясет жительми Вавилонскими.
But I am strong, and I will free them. I am the Commander of the armies of angels; I will defend my people and enable them [to return to] their land where they will have peace, but the people of Babylonia will not have peace.
35 Мечь на Халдеев, глаголет Господь, и на жители Вавилонския, и на князи и на мудрыя его,
[I will send enemy soldiers carrying] swords [PRS] to strike the people of Babylonia; they will strike the officials and wise men and all the [other] people who live in Babylon.
36 мечь на обаятели его, и буии будут, и мечь на сильныя его, и ослабеют:
They will strike their false prophets with swords and they will become foolish. They will strike the [strongest] warriors of Babylonia, and they will all be terrified.
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:
They will strike their horses and chariots and the foreigners who are in the army of Babylonia, and they will [all] become [as weak] as [MET] women. They will seize [MTY] all the valuable things there in Babylon and take them away.
38 мечь на воды его, и постыдятся, яко земля изваянных есть, и во островех хваляхуся.
[I] cause the streams to become dry. [I will do all those things] because the [entire] land [of Babylonia] is filled with idols, and those [horrible] idols have caused the people [who worship them] to become crazy.
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.
[Soon only] hyenas and [other] wild creatures will live there; and it will be a place where owls live. People will never live there again; it will be uninhabited forever [DOU].
40 Якоже преврати Господь Содома и Гоморра и окрестныя грады их, глаголет Господь, не пребудет тамо муж, ниже поживет в нем сын человечь.
[I will destroy Babylon] like I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby towns; no one will [ever] live there [again] [DOU].
41 Се, людие идут от севера, и язык велик, и царие мнози востанут от конец земли,
Look! A [great] army will come from the north. A great nation far away with many kings is preparing [to attack you people of Babylon].
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.
Their [army] has bows [and arrows] and spears; they are [very] cruel, and do not act mercifully [to anyone]. [As] they ride along on [their] horses, the sound of the horses’ hooves is like [SIM] the roaring of the ocean [waves]; they are riding in battle formation to attack you, you people of Babylon.
43 Услыша царь Вавилонский слух их, и ослабеша руце его, скорбь объят его и болезни, яко раждающую.
The King of Babylon says, “[I] have heard reports about the enemy [approaching]; [so I am very frightened, with the result that] I am weak. I am [very fearful, and] anguished/worried, like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth to a baby.”
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?
I, [Yahweh], will come to Babylon [suddenly] like a lion comes out of the jungle and [leaps on the sheep that are eating] the good pastureland. I will quickly chase the people of Babylonia from their land. And [then] I will appoint for them [a leader] whom I will choose; [I will do that] because there is no one [RHQ] like me who can say that what I have done is not right. No ruler can [RHQ] oppose 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.
Listen to what I have planned to do to the people of Babylon [city] and the rest of Babylonia: [even] the little children will be dragged away, and I will completely destroy the people [MET] who live there.
46 От гласа бо пленения Вавилонскаго потрясется земля, и вопль во языцех слышан будет.
When Babylon is destroyed, the noise will be extremely loud, with the result that the earth will shake, and the wailing of the people will be heard by the [people of other] nations.’”
