Книга пророка Иеремии 6
1 Укрепитеся, сынове Вениаминовы, посреде Иерусалима, и в Фекуи вострубите трубою, и над Вефахармом воздвигните хоругвь: яко злая произникоша от севера, и сотрение велико бывает:
"Flee for safety, you people of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem; for evil looks forth from the north, and a great destruction.
2 и отимется высота твоя, дщи Сионя.
The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.
3 К ней приидут пастырие и стада их, и поставят на ней кущы окрест, и упасут кийждо рукою своею.
Shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her all around; they shall feed everyone in his place."
4 Уготовитеся на ню на крань, востаните и взыдем на ню о полудни: горе нам, яко уклонися день, яко изчезают сени дневныя.
"Prepare war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us. For the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
5 Востаните и взыдем на ню нощию и расточим основания ея.
Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces."
6 Яко сия глаголет Господь Сил: посецы древа его, излий на Иерусалим силу: о, граде лживый, всякое насильство в нем!
For Jehovah of hosts said, "Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem. She is the city to be punished; she is full of oppression in the midst of her.
7 Якоже студену творит кладязь воду свою, тако студену творит ю злоба ея: нечестие и пакости услышатся в нем над лицем его всегда.
As a well casts forth its waters, so she casts forth her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds.
8 Немощию и язвою накажешися, Иерусалиме: да не отступит душа Моя от тебе, да не сотворю тя непроходну, землю необитанну.
Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you; lest I make you a desolation, a land not inhabited."
9 Яко сия глаголет Господь Сил: обирайте, обирайте, аки виноград, останки Израилевы, обратитеся аки обиратель на кошницу свою.
Thus says Jehovah of hosts, "They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Pass your hand again as a grape gatherer into the baskets."
10 Кому возглаголю и (кому) засвидетельствую, и услышит? Се, необрезана ушеса их, и слышати не возмогут: се, слово Господне бысть к ним в поношение, и не восприимут того.
To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? Look, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can't listen. Look, the word of Jehovah has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
11 И ярость Мою исполних, и терпех, и не скончах их: излию на младенцы отвне и на собрание юнош вкупе: муж бо и жена яти будут, старец со исполненным дний.
Therefore I am full of the wrath of Jehovah. I am weary with holding in. "Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.
12 И прейдут домы их ко иным, поля и жены их такожде, яко простру руку Мою на обитающих на земли сей, глаголет Господь.
Their houses shall be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land," says Jehovah.
13 Понеже от меншаго и даже до болшаго вси совершиша беззаконная, от священника и даже до лжепророка вси сотвориша ложная
"For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
14 и целяху сотрение людий Моих, уничижающе и глаголюще: мир, мир: и где есть мир?
They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially, saying, 'Peace, peace.' when there is no peace.
15 Постыдешася, яко оскудеша: и ниже аки посрамляеми постыдешася и безчестия своего не познаша: сего ради падут падением своим и во время посещения своего погибнут, рече Господь.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I visit them, they shall be cast down," says Jehovah.
16 Сия глаголет Господь: станите на путех и видите, и вопросите о стезях Господних вечных и видите, кий есть путь благ, и ходите по нему и обрящете очищение душам вашым. И рекоша: не пойдем.
Thus says Jehovah, "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, 'Where is the good way?' and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." But they said, "We will not walk in it."
17 И поставих над вами стражы: слышите глас трубы. И рекоша: не послушаем.
"I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet.'" But they said, "We will not listen."
18 Сего ради услышаша языцы и пасущии стада своя.
"Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what will happen to them.
19 Слыши, земле: се, Аз навожду на люди сия злая, плод отвращения их, яко словес Моих не послушаша и закон Мой отвергоша.
Hear, earth. 'Look, I will bring disaster on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
20 Вскую Мне кадило от Савы приносите и кинамон от земли дальния, всесожжения ваша не суть приятна, и жертвы вашя не усладиша Мя.
To what purpose comes there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.'
21 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь: се, Аз дам на люди сия болезнь, и изнемогут отцы и сынове вкупе, сосед и искренний его погибнут.
Therefore thus says Jehovah, 'Look, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people. The fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend shall perish.'
22 Сия глаголет Господь: се, людие грядут от севера, и язык велик востанет от конец земли,
"Thus says Jehovah, 'Look, a people comes from the north country. A great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
23 лук и щит возмут: мучителен есть и не умилосердится: глас его, яко море шумящее: на конех и колесницах ополчится аки огнь на брань на тя, дщи Сионя.
They take hold of bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion.'"
24 Слышахом слух его, ослабеша руце наши, скорбь объят нас, болезни яко родящия.
"We have heard its report; our hands become feeble: anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor.
25 Не исходите на нивы и на пути не ходите, понеже мечь вражий обитает окрест.
Do not go forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and terror, are on every side."
26 Дщи людий моих, препояшися вретищем и посыплися пепелом, плачь возлюбленнаго сотвори тебе рыдание горько, понеже внезапу приидет запустение на вас.
"Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes. Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come on us."
27 Искусителя дах тя в людех искусных, и увеси Мя, внегда искусити Ми путь их:
"I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people; that you may know and try their way."
28 вси непослушни ходящии строптиво: медь и железо, вси растлени суть.
"They are all grievous rebels, going about with slanders; they are bronze and iron: they all of them deal corruptly.
29 Оскуде мех от огня, истле олово: всуе ковачь сребро кует, лукавства бо их не истаяша.
The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed of the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 Сребро отриновено нарцыте их, яко Господь отверже их.
Men will call them 'rejected silver,' because Jehovah has rejected them."
