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:
“You people in Jerusalem who are from [the tribe of] Benjamin, flee from this city! Blow the trumpets in Tekoa [city south of Jerusalem]! Send up a [smoke] signal in Beth-Haccherem [town] [to warn the people of the coming danger]! A powerful [army] will come from the north, and they will cause great destruction.
2 и отимется высота твоя, дщи Сионя.
Jerusalem is [like] a beautiful pasture [full of sheep], but it will soon be destroyed.
3 К ней приидут пастырие и стада их, и поставят на ней кущы окрест, и упасут кийждо рукою своею.
[Enemy kings, not] shepherds [MET], will come [with their armies] and set up their tents around the city, and each [king will choose a part of the city for his soldiers to destroy like] [MET] shepherds divide their pastures for their flocks of sheep.
4 Уготовитеся на ню на крань, востаните и взыдем на ню о полудни: горе нам, яко уклонися день, яко изчезают сени дневныя.
[The kings will tell their troops], “Get ready for the battle. We should attack them before noontime. But [if we arrive there late in the afternoon] when the shadows are becoming long,
5 Востаните и взыдем на ню нощию и расточим основания ея.
we will attack them at night and tear down their fortresses.”
6 Яко сия глаголет Господь Сил: посецы древа его, излий на Иерусалим силу: о, граде лживый, всякое насильство в нем!
Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, says this: “[I will command those soldiers to] cut down the trees [outside Jerusalem] and to build dirt ramps up to the top of the city walls [in order that they can enter the city]. This city must be punished because everyone there continually oppresses others.
7 Якоже студену творит кладязь воду свою, тако студену творит ю злоба ея: нечестие и пакости услышатся в нем над лицем его всегда.
[It is as though] the wicked things that the people do pour out of the city like [SIM] water flows out of a spring. [The noise from people doing] violent and destructive actions is heard everywhere. I continually see [people who are] suffering and wounded.
8 Немощию и язвою накажешися, Иерусалиме: да не отступит душа Моя от тебе, да не сотворю тя непроходну, землю необитанну.
Listen to what I am warning you, [you people of] [APO] Jerusalem, because if you do not listen, I will reject you and cause your land to become desolate, a land where no one lives.”
9 Яко сия глаголет Господь Сил: обирайте, обирайте, аки виноград, останки Израилевы, обратитеся аки обиратель на кошницу свою.
Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, also says this: “[I will tell your enemies] to cause your country to become as desolate [SIM] as a vineyard from which all the grapes have been completely stripped from the vines. [Their soldiers will seize the possessions of] those who remain in Israel [after the others have been exiled] like [SIM] farmers go to the vines again to pick any grapes [that were (left/not picked)].”
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.
[Then I said, “If I speak to the Israeli people] to warn them, (who will listen to me?/No one will listen to me.) [RHQ] [It is as though] their ears are closed, [and as a result] they cannot hear [what I say]. They scorn Yahweh’s messages; they do not want to listen to them at all.
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.
So [now] I am extremely angry, like Yahweh is angry, and I cannot restrain it any longer.” [So] Yahweh said [to me], “Tell everyone that you are very angry with them. Tell the children in the streets and the young men who gather together. Tell the men and their wives; tell the very old people [DOU], also.
12 И прейдут домы их ко иным, поля и жены их такожде, яко простру руку Мою на обитающих на земли сей, глаголет Господь.
[Tell the men that] I will give their houses to [their enemies], and I will give their property/fields and their wives to them, also, when I punish [IDM] the people who live in this land.
13 Понеже от меншаго и даже до болшаго вси совершиша беззаконная, от священника и даже до лжепророка вси сотвориша ложная
Everyone is trying to get money by tricking others, from the most [important people] to the least [important people]; even the prophets and the priests are trying to deceive [people to get money].
14 и целяху сотрение людий Моих, уничижающе и глаголюще: мир, мир: и где есть мир?
[They act as though the sins of my people are like] [MET] small wounds that they do not need to put bandages on. They continually [greet people by] saying ‘I hope things are going well with you,’ when things are not going well.
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.
They should be [RHQ] ashamed about the disgusting things that they do, but they are not ashamed at all. They do not [even] know how to (blush/show on their faces that they are ashamed). So, they also will be among those who will be killed. They will be destroyed when I punish them.”
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.
This is [also] what Yahweh said [to the Israeli people]: “Stand at the crossroads and look [at the people who pass by]. Ask them what was the good behavior [that their ancestors had] long ago. [And when they tell you], behave that way. If you do that, you will find rest for your souls.” But you replied, ‘We do not want to do that!’
17 И поставих над вами стражы: слышите глас трубы. И рекоша: не послушаем.
I sent [my prophets who were like] [MET] watchmen. They said, ‘Listen carefully when we blow the trumpets [to warn you that your enemies are approaching],’ but you said, ‘[No], we do not want to listen.’
18 Сего ради услышаша языцы и пасущии стада своя.
Therefore, you people in the other nations, listen to this: Pay attention to what is going to happen to the [Israeli people].
19 Слыши, земле: се, Аз навожду на люди сия злая, плод отвращения их, яко словес Моих не послушаша и закон Мой отвергоша.
Listen, all of you! I am going to cause the [Israeli] people to experience disasters. That is what will happen to them because they have refused to listen to what I told them. They have refused to obey my laws.
20 Вскую Мне кадило от Савы приносите и кинамон от земли дальния, всесожжения ваша не суть приятна, и жертвы вашя не усладиша Мя.
[You Israeli people], when you burn frankincense that came from [far away in] Sheba, and [when you offer to me] sweet-smelling anointing oil that came from far away, I will not [RHQ] be pleased with your sacrifices. I will not accept the sacrifices that are completely burned on the altar; I am not pleased with [any of] your sacrifices.
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, I will put obstacles on the roads on which my people will travel. Men and their sons and people’s neighbors and friends will stumble over those obstacles and fall down; everyone will die.”
22 Сия глаголет Господь: се, людие грядут от севера, и язык велик востанет от конец земли,
Yahweh [also] says this: “You will see a [huge] army marching [towards you] from the north. [An army of] a great nation very far away is preparing [to attack you].
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 have bows [and arrows] and spears; they are [very] cruel, and do not act mercifully [to anyone]. As they ride along on their horses, the horses’ feet sound like the roaring of the ocean [waves]; they are riding in battle formation to attack you people of Jerusalem.”
24 Слышахом слух его, ослабеша руце наши, скорбь объят нас, болезни яко родящия.
[The people of Jerusalem say], “We have heard reports about the enemy; [so] we are very frightened, with the result that we feel weak. We are very afraid, and worried, like [SIM] women who are about to give birth to babies.
25 Не исходите на нивы и на пути не ходите, понеже мечь вражий обитает окрест.
[So one person says to another], ‘Do not go out into the fields! Do not go on the roads, because the enemy [soldiers] have swords [and they are everywhere]; they are coming from all directions, and we are extremely afraid.’”
26 Дщи людий моих, препояшися вретищем и посыплися пепелом, плачь возлюбленнаго сотвори тебе рыдание горько, понеже внезапу приидет запустение на вас.
[So I say], “My dear people, put on (sackcloth/rough clothes) and sit in ashes [to show that you are sorry for your sins]. Mourn and cry very much, like [SIM] [a woman would cry] if her only son had died, because your enemies are very near, and they are going to destroy [everything].”
27 Искусителя дах тя в людех искусных, и увеси Мя, внегда искусити Ми путь их:
[Then Yahweh said to me], “[Jeremiah], I have caused you to become [like] [MET] someone who heats metal very hot [to completely burn the impurities]. You will examine my people’s behavior.
28 вси непослушни ходящии строптиво: медь и железо, вси растлени суть.
You will find out that they are very stubborn rebels, they are always slandering others. [Their inner beings] are as hard as bronze or iron; they all [continually] deceive others.
29 Оскуде мех от огня, истле олово: всуе ковачь сребро кует, лукавства бо их не истаяша.
[A metalworker causes] the bellows to blow very hard to [make the fire very hot to] completely burn up the impurities [MET]. [But just as] a fire does not cause all the waste material to run off, it is impossible to separate [the righteous people from the wicked people, and punish only] the wicked people.
30 Сребро отриновено нарцыте их, яко Господь отверже их.
[I], Yahweh, have rejected them; I say that they are [like] [MET] worthless silver.”
