Книга пророка Иеремии 51
1 Тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз воздвигну на Вавилон и на живущыя Халдеи ветр зноен губителный:
Thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am stirring up against Babylon, And the inhabitants of Leb, My withstanders, A destroying wind,
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 have sent fanners to Babylon, And they have fanned her, and they empty her land, For they have been against her, All around—in the day of evil.
3 Да наляцает наляцаяй лук свой, и да облечется в броня своя, и не пощадите юнош его, и побийте все воинство его.
Do not let the treader tread his bow, Nor lift himself up in his coat of mail, Nor have pity on her young men, Devote all her host to destruction.
4 И падут избиеннии в земли Халдейстей и язвеннии во странах ея.
And the wounded have fallen in the land of the Chaldeans, And the pierced-through 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 and Judah are not forsaken By his God—by YHWH of Hosts, For their land has been full of guilt, 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.
Flee from the midst of Babylon, And let each deliver his soul, Do not be cut off in her iniquity, For it [is] a time of vengeance for YHWH—His, He is rendering repayment to her.
7 Чаша златая Вавилон в руце Господни, напаяющи всю землю, от вина его пиша (вси) языцы, сего ради потрясошася.
Babylon [is] a golden cup in the hand of YHWH, Making all the earth drunk, Nations have drunk of her wine, Therefore nations boast themselves.
8 Внезапу паде Вавилон и сокрушися: плачите по нем, возмите масти к болезни его, да изцелится.
Babylon has suddenly fallen, Indeed, she is broken, howl for her, Take balm for her pain, perhaps she may be healed.
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 healed Babylon, and she was not healed, Forsake her, and we go, each to his land, For her judgment has come to the heavens, And it has been lifted up to the clouds.
10 Изнесе Господь суд Свой: приидите и возвестим в Сионе дела Господа Бога нашего.
YHWH has brought forth our righteousnesses, Come, and we recount in Zion the work of our God YHWH.
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.
Cleanse the arrows, fill the shields, YHWH has stirred up the spirit of the kings of Media, For His purpose [is] against Babylon to destroy her, For it [is] the vengeance of YHWH, The vengeance of 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,
Lift up an ensign to the walls of Babylon, Strengthen the watch, Establish the watchers, prepare the ambush, For YHWH has both devised and done that which He spoke, Concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 живый над водами многими и богат в сокровищих своих: прииде конец твой истинно во утробы твоя.
O dweller on many waters, abundant in treasures, Your end has come—the measure of your dishonest gain.
14 Клятся бо Господь Сил мышцею Своею, яко наполню тебе людьми, якоже акридами, и возгласят над тобою низходящии.
YHWH of Hosts has sworn by Himself, That, Surely I have filled you [with] men as the cankerworm, And they have cried against you—shouting.
15 Господь сотворивый землю в силе Своей и устроивый вселенную в мудрости Своей, и разумением Своим распростре небеса,
Making [the] earth by His power, Establishing [the] world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the heavens,
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 voice He gives forth, A multitude of waters [are] in the heavens, And He causes vapors to come up from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for rain, And He brings out wind from His treasures.
17 Обуя всяк человек от разума, посрамися всяк слиятель от изваяний своих, яко ложная слияния его, и несть духа в них:
Every man has been brutish by knowledge, Everyone has been put to shame—from refining a carved image, For his molten image [is] falsehood, And there is no breath in them.
18 суетна суть дела и смеху достойна, в час посещения своего погибнут.
They [are] vanity—a work of errors, They perish in the time of their inspection.
19 Не такова часть Иаковля, яко Сотворивый всяческая Той есть, (а Израиль) жезл достояния Его, Господь Вседержитель имя Его.
The Portion of Jacob [is] not like these, For He is forming the whole, And [Israel is] the tribe of His inheritance, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
20 Сокрушаеши ты Мне сосуды бранныя, и Аз сокрушу в тебе языки и погублю в тебе царствия:
You [are] My shatterer—weapons of war, And I have broken in pieces nations by you, And I have destroyed kingdoms by you,
21 и избию в тебе кони и всадники их, и избию в тебе колесницы и вседающих на них:
And I have broken in pieces horse and its rider by you, And I have broken in pieces chariot and its charioteer by you,
22 и избию в тебе мужа и жену, и избию в тебе стара и отрока, и избию в тебе юношу и деву:
And I have broken in pieces man and woman by you, And I have broken in pieces old and young by you, And I have broken in pieces young man and virgin by you,
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.
And I have broken in pieces shepherd and his drove by you, And I have broken in pieces farmer and his team by you, And I have broken in pieces governors and prefects by you.
24 И воздам Вавилону и всем жителем Халдейским вся злобы их, яже сотвориша над Сионом пред очима вашима, глаголет Господь.
And I have repaid to Babylon, And to all inhabitants of Chaldea, All the evil that they have done in Zion, Before your eyes,” a declaration of YHWH.
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:
“Behold, I [am] against you, O destroying mountain,” A declaration of YHWH, “That is destroying all the earth, And I have stretched out My hand against you, And I have rolled you from the rocks, And given you for a burnt mountain.
26 и не возмут от тебе камене во угл и камене во основание, яко потребишися во веки, глаголет Господь.
And they do not take out of you a stone for a corner, And a stone for foundations, For you are continuous desolations,” A declaration of YHWH.
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.
“Lift up an ensign in the land, Blow a horn among nations, Sanctify nations against it, Summon against it the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz, Appoint an infant head against it, Cause the horse to ascend as the rough cankerworm.
28 Возведите нань языки, царя Мидска и всея земли, воевод его и всех воев его и всея земли области его.
Sanctify against it the nations with the kings of Media, Its governors and all its prefects, And all the land of its dominion.
29 И потрясеся земля и смутися, зане воста на Вавилон умышление Господне, еже положити землю Вавилонску пусту и ненаселену.
And the land shakes, and it is pained, For the purposes of YHWH have stood against Babylon, To make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.
30 Оскудеша крепцыи Вавилонстии еже ратовати: сядут тамо во ограде, погибе храбрость их, и быша яко жены: пожжена суть селения, сотрены заворы его.
The mighty of Babylon have ceased to fight, They have remained in strongholds, Their might has failed, they have become [as] women, They have burned her dwelling places, Her bars have been broken.
31 Гоняй во сретение текуща постигнет, и вестник сретит посла, да возвестит царю Вавилонску, яко взят бысть град его.
Runner runs to meet runner, And announcer to meet announcer, To announce to the king of Babylon, For his city has been captured—at the extremity.
32 От края прехождений его яти быша, и твердыни его зажжены огнем, и мужие его воинстии исходят.
And the passages have been captured, And they have burned the reeds with fire, And the men of war have been troubled.
33 Тако бо глаголет Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев: домове царя Вавилонскаго яко гумно зрело измлачени будут: еще мало, и приидет жатва его.
For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon [is] as a threshing-floor, The time of her threshing—yet a little [while], And the time of her harvest has 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.
Devoured us, crushed us, has Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, He has set us [as] an empty vessel, He has swallowed us as a dragon, He has filled his belly with my delicacies, He has driven us away.
35 Труды мои и беды моя на Вавилон, речет живущая в Сионе, и кровь моя на живущыя в Халдеех, речет Иерусалим.
My wrong, and [that of] my flesh, [is] on Babylon—The inhabitant of Zion says; And my blood [is] on the inhabitants of Chaldea—Jerusalem says.
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.
Therefore, thus said YHWH: Behold, I am pleading your cause, And I have avenged your vengeance, And dried up her sea, and made her fountains dry.
37 И будет Вавилон в запустение, жилище змием, в чудо и позвиздание, понеже не будет живущаго.
And Babylon has been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38 Вкупе аки львы востанут и аки скимни львов.
They roar together as young lions, They have shaken themselves as lions’ whelps.
39 В горячести их дам питие им и упою я, да спят и уснут сном вечным и не востанут, глаголет Господь.
In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a continuous sleep, And do not awaken,” a declaration of YHWH.
40 И низведу я яко агнцы на заклание и яко овны с козлы.
“I cause them to go down as lambs to slaughter, As rams with male goats.
41 Како взяся Сесах, и ята слава всея земли? Како бысть во удивление Вавилон во языцех?
How Sheshach has been captured, Indeed, the praise of the whole earth is caught, How Babylon has been for an astonishment among nations.
42 Взыде на Вавилон море в шуме волн своих, и покрыся.
The sea has come up over Babylon, She has been covered with a multitude of its billows.
43 Быша гради его в запустение, земля безводна и пуста, земля, в нейже никтоже поживет, и ниже будет витати в нем сын человечь.
Her cities have been for a desolation, A dry land, and a wilderness, A land—none dwell in them, Nor does a son of man pass over into them.
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 have seen after Bel in Babylon, And I have brought forth that which he swallowed—from his mouth, And nations no longer flow to him, Also the wall of Babylon has fallen.
45 Изыдите от среды его, людие Мои, да спасет кийждо душу свою от гнева ярости Господни.
Go forth from her midst, O My people, And let each deliver his soul, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH,
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.
And lest your heart be tender, And you are afraid of the report that is heard in the land, And the report has come in [one] year, And after it [another] report in [another] year, And violence [is] 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.
Therefore, behold, days are coming, And I have seen after the carved images of Babylon. And all its land is ashamed, And all its pierced ones fall in its midst.
48 И возвеселятся над Вавилоном небеса и земля и вся сущая в них: от полунощи бо приидут нань всегубителие, глаголет Господь:
And heavens and earth and all that [is] in them Have cried aloud against Babylon, For the spoilers come to her from the north,” A declaration of YHWH.
49 и якоже сотвори Вавилон падати язвеным во Израили, тако в Вавилоне падут язвении всея земли.
“As Babylon [has caused the] pierced of Israel to fall, So they of Babylon have fallen, You pierced of all the earth.
50 Избегшии меча, идите, не стойте: иже издалече, помяните Господа, и Иерусалим да взыдет на сердце ваше.
You escaped of the sword, go on, do not stand, Remember YHWH from afar, And let Jerusalem come up on your heart.
51 Посрамихомся, зане слышахом ругание наше, покры срамота лице наше, яко приидоша чуждии во святая наша в дом Господень.
We have been ashamed, for we heard reproach, Shame has covered our faces, For strangers have come in against the sanctuaries of the house of YHWH.
52 Сего ради, се, дние грядут глаголет Господь, и посещу на изваяния его, и по всей земли его падут язвении.
Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have seen after her carved images, And the wounded groan in all her land.
53 Яко аще взыдет Вавилон на небо и аще утвердит на высоте крепость свою, от Мене приидут губителие его, глаголет Господь.
Because Babylon goes up to the heavens, And because she fortifies the high place of her strength, Spoilers come into her from Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
54 Глас вопля Вавилонска, и сотрение велико в земли Халдейстей:
“A voice of a cry [is] from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldean.
55 яко погуби Господь Вавилона и сотре от него глас велий шумящь яко воды многи, даде в пагубу глас его:
For YHWH is spoiling Babylon, And has destroyed her great voice, And her billows have sounded as many waters, Their voice has given forth a noise.
56 яко прииде на Вавилон хищник, яти быша сильнии его, увяде лук их, яко Бог воздает им,
For a spoiler has come in against her—against Babylon, And her mighty ones have been captured, Their bows have been broken, For the God of recompenses—YHWH—certainly repays.
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 have caused her princes to drink, And her wise men, her governors, And her prefects, and her mighty ones, And they have slept a continuous sleep, And they do not awaken—an affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [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.
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: The wall of Babylon—The broad one—is made utterly bare, And her high gates are burned with fire, And peoples labor in vain, And nations in fire, and have been weary!”
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 word that Jeremiah the prophet has commanded Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, in his going with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign—and Seraiah [is] a quiet prince;
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 writes all the calamity that comes to Babylon on one scroll—all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
61 егда внидеши в Вавилон, и узриши и прочтеши вся словеса сия, и речеши:
And Jeremiah says to Seraiah, “When you enter Babylon, then you have seen, and have read 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 have said: YHWH, You have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that there is none dwelling in it, from man even to livestock, for it is a continuous desolation.
63 и будет, егда прочтеши книгу сию, привяжи к ней камень и вверзи ю посреде Евфрата и рцы:
And it has come to pass, when you finish reading this scroll, you bind a stone to it, and have cast it into the midst of the Euphrates,
64 тако потопится Вавилон и не востанет от лица зол, яже Аз наведу нань, и разорится. Даже до зде словеса Иеремиина.
and said, Thus Babylon sinks, and she does not arise, because of the calamity that I am bringing in against it, and they have been weary.” Until now [are the] words of Jeremiah.
