Книга пророка Иеремии 9
1 Кто даст главе моей воду и очесем моим источник слез? И плачуся день и нощь о побиенных дщере людий моих.
Who makes my head waters, And my eye a fountain of tears? And I weep by day and by night, For the wounded of the daughter of my people.
2 Кто даст мне в пустыни виталище последнее? И оставлю люди моя и отиду от них: понеже вси любодействуют, соборище преступников.
Who gives me in a wilderness A lodging-place for travelers? And I leave my people, and go from them, For all of them [are] adulterers, An assembly of treacherous ones.
3 И налякоша язык свой яко лук: лжа и неверство укрепишася на земли, ибо от злых во злая произыдоша и Мене не познаша, рече Господь.
“And they bend their tongue, Their bow [is] a lie, And they have not been mighty for steadfastness in the land, For they have gone forth from evil to evil, And they have not known Me,” A declaration of YHWH!
4 Кийждо от искренняго своего да стрежется, и на братию свою не уповайте, ибо всяк брат запинанием запнет, и всяк друг льстивно наскочит.
“You each beware of his friend, And do not trust any brother, For every brother utterly supplants, For every friend slanderously walks,
5 Кийждо другу своему посмеется, истины не возглаголют: научиша язык свой глаголати лжу, неправдоваша и не восхотеша обратитися.
And they each mock at his friend, And they do not speak truth, They taught their tongue to speak falsehood, They have labored to commit iniquity.
6 Лихва на лихву и лесть на лесть: не восхотеша уведети Мене, рече Господь.
Your dwelling [is] in the midst of deceit, Through deceit they refused to know Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
7 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь Сил: се, Аз разжегу их и искушу их: что бо ино сотворю от лица лукавства дщери людий Моих?
Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am refining them, and have tried them, For how do I deal with the daughter of My people?
8 Стрела уязвляющая язык их, льстивии глаголы уст их: приятелю своему глаголет мирная, внутрь же себе имеет вражду.
Their tongue [is] a slaughtering arrow, It has spoken deceit in its mouth, It speaks peace with its neighbor, And in its heart it lays its ambush,
9 Еда на сих не посещу? Рече Господь: или людем таковым не отмстит душа Моя?
Do I not see after them for these things?” A declaration of YHWH, “Does My soul not avenge itself against a nation such as this?”
10 На горах восприимите плачь и тужение и на стезях пустыни рыдание, яко оскудеша, за еже не быти человеком преходящым: не слышаша гласа обитания от птиц небесных и даже до скотов, ужасошася, отидоша.
I lift up weeping and wailing for the mountains, And a lamentation for the habitations of the wilderness, For they have been burned up without any passing over, Nor have they heard the voice of livestock, From the bird of the heavens and to the beast—they have fled, They have gone.
11 И дам Иерусалим в преселение и в жилище змием и грады Иудины положу в разорение, яко не будет обитающаго.
“And I make Jerusalem become heaps, A habitation of dragons, And I make the cities of Judah a desolation, Without inhabitant.”
12 Кто муж премудр, и уразумеет сие? И к немуже слово уст Господних, да возвестит вам, чесо ради погибе земля, сожжена есть яко пустыня, еяже никтоже проходит?
Who [is] the wise man? And he understands this, And he to whom the mouth of YHWH spoke? And he declares it, For why has the land perished? It has been burned up as a wilderness, Without any passing through.
13 И рече Господь ко мне: понеже оставиша закон Мой, егоже дах пред лицем их, и не послушаша гласа Моего и не ходиша по нему,
And YHWH says: “Because of their forsaking My law that I set before them, And they have not listened to My voice nor walked in it,
14 но поидоша по изволению сердца своего лукаваго и вслед идолов, имже научиша их отцы их:
And they walk after the stubbornness of their heart, And after the Ba‘alim, That their fathers taught them,”
15 сего ради тако глаголет Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: се, Аз напитаю люди сия теснотами и в питие дам им воду желчную,
Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am causing them—this people—to eat wormwood, And I have caused them to drink water of gall,
16 и расточу их во языки, ихже не знаша тии и отцы их, и послю на них мечь, дондеже истлятся.
And I have scattered them among nations Which they did not know, they and their fathers, And have sent the sword after them, Until I have consumed them.”
17 Сия рече Господь Сил: призовите плачевниц, и да приидут, и ко женам премудрым послите, и да вещают
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Consider, and call for mourning women, And they come, And send to the wise women, And they come,
18 и да приимут над вами плачь, и да изведут очи ваши слезы, и вежди ваши да излиют воду:
And they hurry, and lift up a wailing for us. And tears run down our eyes, And waters flow from our eyelids.
19 зане глас плача слышан бысть во Сионе: како бедни быхом, постыждени зело, яко оставихом землю и отринухом жилища наша?
For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: How we have been spoiled! We have been greatly ashamed, Because we have forsaken the land, Because they have cast down our dwelling places.”
20 Темже слышите, жены, слово Господне, и приимите ушима вашима словеса уст Его, и научите дщери вашя рыданию, и каяждо искреннюю свою плачу:
But hear, you women, a word of YHWH, And your ear receives a word of His mouth, And teach your daughters wailing, And each her neighbor lamentation.
21 понеже взыде смерть сквозе окна ваша и вниде в землю вашу погубити отрочата отвне и юношы от стогн.
For death has come up into our windows, It has come into our palaces, To cut off the suckling from outside, Young men from the broad places.
22 (Глаголи: ) сия рече Господь: и будут мертвии человецы в пример на лицы поля земли вашея, яко сено созади жнущаго, и не будет собирающаго.
Speak thus, “A declaration of YHWH, And the carcass of man has fallen, As dung on the face of the field, And as a handful after the reaper, And there is none gathering.”
23 Тако глаголет Господь: да не хвалится мудрый мудростию своею, и да не хвалится крепкий крепостию своею, и да не хвалится богатый богатством своим:
Thus said YHWH: “Do not let the wise boast himself in his wisdom, Nor let the mighty boast himself in his might, Do not let the rich boast himself in his riches,
24 но о сем да хвалится хваляйся, еже разумети и знати, яко Аз есмь Господь творяй милость и суд и правду на земли, яко в сих воля Моя, глаголет Господь.
But let the boaster boast himself in this, In understanding and knowing Me, For I [am] YHWH, doing kindness, Judgment, and righteousness, in the earth, For I have delighted in these,” A declaration of YHWH.
25 Се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и посещу на всех, иже обрезаную имут плоть свою:
“Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have laid a charge on all circumcised in the foreskin,
26 на Египет и на Идумею, и на Едом и на сыны Аммони, и на сыны Моавли и на всякаго остризающаго власы по лицу своему, обитающыя в пустыни, яко вси языцы необрезани плотию, весь же дом Израилев необрезани суть сердцы своими.
On Egypt, and on Judah, and on Edom, And on the sons of Ammon, and on Moab, And on all cutting the corner [of the beard], Who are dwelling in the wilderness, For all the nations [are] uncircumcised, And all the house of Israel [are] uncircumcised in heart!”
