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, ye children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth-haccherem: for evil looketh 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 unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one 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 ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day declineth, 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 thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast up a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly 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 casteth forth her waters, so she casteth forth her wickedness: violence and spoil 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 thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I make thee 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 saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn again thine hand as a grapegatherer 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? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is become unto them a reproach; 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 fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that 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.
And their houses shall be turned unto others, their fields and their wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
13 Понеже от меншаго и даже до болшаго вси совершиша беззаконная, от священника и даже до лжепророка вси сотвориша ложная
For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth 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 lightly, 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? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
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 saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk [therein].
17 И поставих над вами стражы: слышите глас трубы. И рекоша: не послушаем.
And I set watchmen over you, [saying], Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken.
18 Сего ради услышаша языцы и пасущии стада своя.
Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
19 Слыши, земле: се, Аз навожду на люди сия злая, плод отвращения их, яко словес Моих не послушаша и закон Мой отвергоша.
Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto 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 cometh there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto 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 saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people: and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
22 Сия глаголет Господь: се, людие грядут от севера, и язык велик востанет от конец земли,
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country; and 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 lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses; every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Zion.
24 Слышахом слух его, ослабеша руце наши, скорбь объят нас, болезни яко родящия.
We have heard the fame thereof; our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail.
25 Не исходите на нивы и на пути не ходите, понеже мечь вражий обитает окрест.
Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for [there is] the sword of the enemy, [and] terror on every side.
26 Дщи людий моих, препояшися вретищем и посыплися пепелом, плачь возлюбленнаго сотвори тебе рыдание горько, понеже внезапу приидет запустение на вас.
O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
27 Искусителя дах тя в людех искусных, и увеси Мя, внегда искусити Ми путь их:
I have made thee a tower [and] a fortress among my people; that thou mayest know and try their way.
28 вси непослушни ходящии строптиво: медь и железо, вси растлени суть.
They are all grievous revolters, going about with slanders; they are brass 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.
Refuse silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
