Книга пророка Иеремии 51
1 Тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз воздвигну на Вавилон и на живущыя Халдеи ветр зноен губителный:
The Lord has said: See, I will make a wind of destruction come up against Babylon and against those who are living in Chaldaea;
2 и послю на Вавилон ругатели, и студно поругаются ему и истлят землю его: понеже горе на Вавилон окрест в день озлобления его.
And I will send men to Babylon to make her clean and get her land cleared: for in the day of trouble they will put up their tents against her on every side.
3 Да наляцает наляцаяй лук свой, и да облечется в броня своя, и не пощадите юнош его, и побийте все воинство его.
Against her the bow of the archer is bent, and he puts on his coat of metal: have no mercy on her young men, give all her army up to the curse.
4 И падут избиеннии в земли Халдейстей и язвеннии во странах ея.
And the dead will be stretched out in the land of the Chaldaeans, and the wounded in her streets.
5 Понеже не овдове Израиль и Иуда от Бога Своего, от Господа Вседержителя, яко земля их наполнися неправды от Святых Израилевых.
For Israel has not been given up, or Judah, by his God, by the Lord of armies; for their land is full of sin against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Бежите от среды Вавилона и спасите кийждо душу свою и не погибнете в неправде его, зане время отмщения его есть от Господа, воздаяние Той воздаст ему.
Go in flight out of Babylon, so that every man may keep his life; do not be cut off in her evil-doing: for it is the time of the Lord's punishment; he will give her her reward.
7 Чаша златая Вавилон в руце Господни, напаяющи всю землю, от вина его пиша (вси) языцы, сего ради потрясошася.
Babylon has been a gold cup in the hand of the Lord, which has made all the earth overcome with wine: the nations have taken of her wine, and for this cause the nations have gone off their heads.
8 Внезапу паде Вавилон и сокрушися: плачите по нем, возмите масти к болезни его, да изцелится.
Sudden is the downfall of Babylon and her destruction: make cries of grief for her; take sweet oil for her pain, if it is possible for her to be made well.
9 Врачевахом Вавилона, и не изцеле: оставим его и отидем кийждо в землю свою, взыде бо к небеси суд его и воздвижеся даже до звезд.
We would have made Babylon well, but she is not made well: give her up, and let us go everyone to his country: for her punishment is stretching up to heaven, and lifted up even to the skies.
10 Изнесе Господь суд Свой: приидите и возвестим в Сионе дела Господа Бога нашего.
The Lord has made clear our righteousness: come, and let us give an account in Zion of the work of the Lord our God.
11 Наострите стрелы, наполните тулы: воздвиже Господь дух царей Мидских, яко противу Вавилона гнев Его, да погубит и, понеже отмщение Господне есть, отмщение людий Его.
Make bright the arrows; take up the body-covers: the Lord has been moving the spirit of the king of the Medes; because his design against Babylon is its destruction: for it is the punishment from the Lord, the payment for his Temple.
12 На стенах Вавилонских воздвигните знамя, поставите стражи, уготовите стражей, уготовите оружие: яко умысли Господь, и сотворит, яже рече на живущыя в Вавилоне,
Let the flag be lifted up against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, put the watchmen in their places, make ready a surprise attack: for it is the Lord's purpose, and he has done what he said about the people of Babylon.
13 живый над водами многими и богат в сокровищих своих: прииде конец твой истинно во утробы твоя.
O you whose living-place is by the wide waters, whose stores are great, your end is come, your evil profit is ended.
14 Клятся бо Господь Сил мышцею Своею, яко наполню тебе людьми, якоже акридами, и возгласят над тобою низходящии.
The Lord of armies has taken an oath by himself, saying, Truly, I will make you full with men as with locusts, and their voices will be loud against you.
15 Господь сотворивый землю в силе Своей и устроивый вселенную в мудрости Своей, и разумением Своим распростре небеса,
He has made the earth by his power, he has made the world strong in its place by his wisdom, and by his wise design the heavens have been stretched out:
16 егда Он даст глас, умножатся воды на небеси, воздвизаяй облаки от конец земли, молнию в дождь сотвори, изводяй свет от сокровищ Своих.
At the sound of his voice there is a massing of the waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain and sends out the wind from his store-houses.
17 Обуя всяк человек от разума, посрамися всяк слиятель от изваяний своих, яко ложная слияния его, и несть духа в них:
Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.
18 суетна суть дела и смеху достойна, в час посещения своего погибнут.
They are nothing, a work of error: in the time of their punishment, destruction will overtake them.
19 Не такова часть Иаковля, яко Сотворивый всяческая Той есть, (а Израиль) жезл достояния Его, Господь Вседержитель имя Его.
The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.
20 Сокрушаеши ты Мне сосуды бранныя, и Аз сокрушу в тебе языки и погублю в тебе царствия:
You are my fighting axe and my instrument of war: with you the nations will be broken; with you kingdoms will be broken;
21 и избию в тебе кони и всадники их, и избию в тебе колесницы и вседающих на них:
With you the horse and the horseman will be broken; with you the war-carriage and he who goes in it will be broken;
22 и избию в тебе мужа и жену, и избию в тебе стара и отрока, и избию в тебе юношу и деву:
With you man and woman will be broken; with you the old man and the boy will be broken; with you the young man and the virgin will be broken;
23 и избию в тебе пастыря и стада его, и избию в тебе орюща и работна скота его, и избию в тебе воеводы и правители.
With you the keeper of sheep with his flock will be broken, and with you the farmer and his oxen will be broken, and with you captains and rulers will be broken.
24 И воздам Вавилону и всем жителем Халдейским вся злобы их, яже сотвориша над Сионом пред очима вашима, глаголет Господь.
And I will give to Babylon, and to all the people of Chaldaea, their reward for all the evil they have done in Zion before your eyes, says the Lord.
25 Се, Аз на тя, горо смертоносная, глаголет Господь, растлевающая всю землю, и простру руку Мою на тя и извергу тя из каменей, и дам тя в гору сожженую:
See, I am against you, says the Lord, O mountain of destruction, causing the destruction of all the earth: and my hand will be stretched out on you, rolling you down from the rocks, and making you a burned mountain.
26 и не возмут от тебе камене во угл и камене во основание, яко потребишися во веки, глаголет Господь.
And they will not take from you a stone for the angle of a wall or the base of a building; but you will be a waste place for ever, says the Lord.
27 Воздвигните знамя на земли, вострубите трубою во языцех, освятите нань языки, возвестите нань царствам Араратским от Мене и Асханазеом: утвердите над ним стрельницы, возведите нань кони, яко акридов множество.
Let a flag be lifted up in the land, let the horn be sounded among the nations, make the nations ready against her; get the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz together against her, make ready a scribe against her; let the horses come up against her like massed locusts.
28 Возведите нань языки, царя Мидска и всея земли, воевод его и всех воев его и всея земли области его.
Make the nations ready for war against her, the king of the Medes and his rulers and all his captains, and all the land under his rule.
29 И потрясеся земля и смутися, зане воста на Вавилон умышление Господне, еже положити землю Вавилонску пусту и ненаселену.
And the land is shaking and in pain: for the purposes of the Lord are fixed, to make the land of Babylon an unpeopled waste.
30 Оскудеша крепцыи Вавилонстии еже ратовати: сядут тамо во ограде, погибе храбрость их, и быша яко жены: пожжена суть селения, сотрены заворы его.
Babylon's men of war have kept back from the fight, waiting in their strong places; their strength has given way, they have become like women: her houses have been put on fire, her locks are broken.
31 Гоняй во сретение текуща постигнет, и вестник сретит посла, да возвестит царю Вавилонску, яко взят бысть град его.
One man, running, will give word to another, and one who goes with news will be handing it on to another, to give word to the king of Babylon that his town has been taken from every quarter:
32 От края прехождений его яти быша, и твердыни его зажжены огнем, и мужие его воинстии исходят.
And the ways across the river have been taken, and the water-holes ... burned with fire, and the men of war are in the grip of fear.
33 Тако бо глаголет Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев: домове царя Вавилонскаго яко гумно зрело измлачени будут: еще мало, и приидет жатва его.
For these are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a grain-floor when it is stamped down; before long, the time of her grain-cutting will come.
34 Снеде мя, раздроби мя, прият мя тма тонка, Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский пожре мя, яко змий наполни чрево свое сладостию моею: и извергоша мя.
Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, has made a meal of me, violently crushing me, he has made me a vessel with nothing in it, he has taken me in his mouth like a dragon, he has made his stomach full with my delicate flesh, crushing me with his teeth.
35 Труды мои и беды моя на Вавилон, речет живущая в Сионе, и кровь моя на живущыя в Халдеех, речет Иерусалим.
May the violent things done to me, and my downfall, come on Babylon, the daughter of Zion will say; and, May my blood be on the people of Chaldaea, Jerusalem will say.
36 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз судити буду соперника твоего и отмщу отмщение твое, и пусто сотворю море его и изсушу потоки его.
For this reason the Lord has said: See, I will give support to your cause, and take payment for what you have undergone; I will make her sea dry, and her fountain without water.
37 И будет Вавилон в запустение, жилище змием, в чудо и позвиздание, понеже не будет живущаго.
And Babylon will become a mass of broken walls, a hole for jackals, a cause of wonder and surprise, without a living man in it.
38 Вкупе аки львы востанут и аки скимни львов.
They will be crying out together like lions, their voices will be like the voices of young lions.
39 В горячести их дам питие им и упою я, да спят и уснут сном вечным и не востанут, глаголет Господь.
When they are heated, I will make a feast for them, and overcome them with wine, so that they may become unconscious, sleeping an eternal sleep without awaking, says the Lord.
40 И низведу я яко агнцы на заклание и яко овны с козлы.
I will make them go down to death like lambs, like he-goats together.
41 Како взяся Сесах, и ята слава всея земли? Како бысть во удивление Вавилон во языцех?
How is Babylon taken! and the praise of all the earth surprised! how has Babylon become a cause of wonder among the nations!
42 Взыде на Вавилон море в шуме волн своих, и покрыся.
The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered with the mass of its waves.
43 Быша гради его в запустение, земля безводна и пуста, земля, в нейже никтоже поживет, и ниже будет витати в нем сын человечь.
Her towns have become a waste, a dry and unwatered land, where no man has his living-place and no son of man goes by.
44 И посещу на Вила в Вавилоне, и извергу то, еже поглоти, от уст его, и не соберутся вящше к нему языцы, зане и стены Вавилонския падут.
And I will send punishment on Bel in Babylon, and take out of his mouth what went into it; no longer will the nations be flowing together to him: truly, the wall of Babylon will come down.
45 Изыдите от среды его, людие Мои, да спасет кийждо душу свою от гнева ярости Господни.
My people, go out from her, and let every man get away safe from the burning wrath of the Lord.
46 Да не когда умягчится сердце ваше, и убоитеся ради слуха, иже услышится на земли, и приидет в лето слышание, и по лете слышание, бедность и неправда на землю, и властелин на властелина.
So that your hearts may not become feeble and full of fear because of the news which will go about in the land; for a story will go about one year, and after that in another year another story, and violent acts in the land, ruler against ruler.
47 Сего ради, се, дние грядут, и посещу на изваяныя Вавилона: и вся земля его посрамится, и вси язвении его падут посреде его.
For this cause, truly, the days are coming when I will send punishment on the images of Babylon, and all her land will be shamed, and her dead will be falling down in her.
48 И возвеселятся над Вавилоном небеса и земля и вся сущая в них: от полунощи бо приидут нань всегубителие, глаголет Господь:
And the heaven and the earth and everything in them, will make a song of joy over Babylon: for those who make her waste will come from the north, says the Lord.
49 и якоже сотвори Вавилон падати язвеным во Израили, тако в Вавилоне падут язвении всея земли.
As Babylon had the dead of Israel put to the sword, so in Babylon the dead of all the land will be stretched out.
50 Избегшии меча, идите, не стойте: иже издалече, помяните Господа, и Иерусалим да взыдет на сердце ваше.
You who have got away safe from the sword, go, waiting for nothing; have the Lord in memory when you are far away, and keep Jerusalem in mind.
51 Посрамихомся, зане слышахом ругание наше, покры срамота лице наше, яко приидоша чуждии во святая наша в дом Господень.
We are shamed because bitter words have come to our ears; our faces are covered with shame: for men from strange lands have come into the holy places of the Lord's house.
52 Сего ради, се, дние грядут глаголет Господь, и посещу на изваяния его, и по всей земли его падут язвении.
For this reason, see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send punishment on her images; and through all her land the wounded will be crying out in pain.
53 Яко аще взыдет Вавилон на небо и аще утвердит на высоте крепость свою, от Мене приидут губителие его, глаголет Господь.
Even if Babylon was lifted up to heaven, even if she had the high places of her strength shut in with walls, still I would send against her those who will make her waste, says the Lord.
54 Глас вопля Вавилонска, и сотрение велико в земли Халдейстей:
There is the sound of a cry from Babylon, and of a great destruction from the land of the Chaldaeans:
55 яко погуби Господь Вавилона и сотре от него глас велий шумящь яко воды многи, даде в пагубу глас его:
For the Lord is making Babylon waste, and putting an end to the great voice coming out of her; and her waves are thundering like great waters, their voice is sounding loud:
56 яко прииде на Вавилон хищник, яти быша сильнии его, увяде лук их, яко Бог воздает им,
For the waster has come on her, even on Babylon, and her men of war are taken, their bows are broken: for the Lord is a rewarding God, and he will certainly give payment.
57 Господь воздает ему воздаяние: и упоит князи его и мудрыя его, и воеводы его и вои его и сильныя его, и уснут сном вечным и не возбудятся, глаголет Царь, Господь Вседержитель имя Его.
And I will make her chiefs and her wise men, her rulers and her captains and her men of war, overcome with wine; their sleep will be an eternal sleep without awaking, says the King; the Lord of armies is his name.
58 Тако глаголет Господь Вседержитель: стена Вавилонска сия преширока, подкопанием подкопана будет, и врата его высока огнем сожжена будут, и будут трудитися людие вотще, и языцы в начале погибнут.
The Lord of armies has said: The wide walls of Babylon will be completely uncovered and her high doorways will be burned with fire; so peoples keep on working for nothing, and the weariness of nations comes to an end in the smoke.
59 Слово, еже заповеда Господь Иеремии пророку, рещи Сарею сыну Нириину, сына Маассеова, егда иде от Седекии царя Иудина в Вавилон, в четвертое лето царства его: Сарей же бе началник даров.
The order which Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah, the king of Judah, to Babylon in the fourth year of his rule. Now Seraiah was the chief controller of the house.
60 И написа Иеремиа вся злая, яже имяху приити на Вавилон, во едину книгу вся словеса сия, яже писана суть на Вавилон. И рече Иеремиа к Сарею:
And Jeremiah put in a book all the evil which was to come on Babylon.
61 егда внидеши в Вавилон, и узриши и прочтеши вся словеса сия, и речеши:
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When you come to Babylon, see that you give them all these words;
62 Господи, Ты рекл еси противу места сего погубити е, и да не будет живяй в нем от человека и до скота, и да будет в вечную пустыню:
And after reading them, say, O Lord, you have said about this place that it is to be cut off, so that no one will be living in it, not a man or a beast, but it will be unpeopled for ever.
63 и будет, егда прочтеши книгу сию, привяжи к ней камень и вверзи ю посреде Евфрата и рцы:
And it will be that, when you have come to an end of reading this book, you are to have a stone fixed to it, and have it dropped into the Euphrates:
64 тако потопится Вавилон и не востанет от лица зол, яже Аз наведу нань, и разорится. Даже до зде словеса Иеремиина.
And you are to say, So Babylon will go down, never to be lifted up again, because of the evil which I will send on her: and weariness will overcome them. So far, these are the words of Jeremiah.
