< Jeremiah 42 >

1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah, the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, came near,
И приидоша вси воеводы силы, и Иоанан сын Кариев и Азариа сын Маасеев, и вси людие от мала и до велика
2 And said to Jeremiah the prophet, Let our request come before you, and make prayer for us to the Lord your God, even for this small band of us; for we are only a small band out of what was a great number, as your eyes may see:
ко Иеремии пророку и рекоша ему: да падет молитва наша пред лицем твоим, и помолися о нас ко Господеви Богу твоему о оставшихся сих: яко остася мало нас от многих, якоже очи твои видят:
3 That the Lord your God may make clear to us the way in which we are to go and what we are to do.
и да возвестит нам Господь Бог твой путь, по немуже пойдем, и слово, еже сотворим.
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have given ear to you; see, I will make prayer to the Lord your God, as you have said; and it will be that, whatever the Lord may say in answer to you, I will give you word of it, keeping nothing back.
И рече им Иеремиа пророк: слышах: се, аз помолюся о вас Господеви Богу нашему по словесем вашым: и будет, слово, еже отвещает Господь, повем вам и не потаю от вас словесе.
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, May the Lord be a true witness against us in good faith, if we do not do everything which the Lord your God sends you to say to us.
Тии же рекоша Иеремии: буди Господь в нас послух правдив и верен, яко по всему слову, еже аще послет Господь к нам, тако сотворим:
6 If it is good or if it is evil, we will be guided by the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you; so that it may be well for us when we give ear to the voice of the Lord our God.
аще добро и аще зло, гласа Господа нашего, к Немуже мы посылаем тя, послушаем, да лучше нам будет, яко послушаем гласа Господа Бога нашего.
7 And it came about that after ten days the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.
И егда скончашася десять дний, бысть слово Господне ко Иеремии.
8 And he sent for Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were still with him, and all the people, from the least to the greatest,
И призва Иоанана сына Кариева и воеводы силы, иже с ним быша, и вся люди от мала и до велика,
9 And said to them, These are the words of the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to put your request before him:
и рече им: тако рече Господь Бог Израилев, к Немуже посыласте мя, да простру молитвы вашя пред Ним:
10 If you still go on living in the land, then I will go on building you up and not pulling you down, planting you and not uprooting you: for my purpose of doing evil to you has been changed.
аще седяще сядете на земли сей, то созижду вас, а не разорю, и насажду вас, а не исторгну, яко престах от зол, яже сотворих вам.
11 Have no fear of the king of Babylon, of whom you are now in fear; have no fear of him, says the Lord: for I am with you to keep you safe and to give you salvation from his hands.
Не убойтеся от лица царя Вавилонска, егоже вы боитеся: от лица его не убойтеся, рече Господь: яко Аз с вами есмь, еже избавляти вас и спасати вас от руки его:
12 And I will have mercy on you, so that he may have mercy on you and let you go back to your land.
и дам вам милость и помилую вас и возвращу вас на землю вашу.
13 But if you say, We have no desire to go on living in this land; and do not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God,
Аще же речете вы: не сядем на земли сей, еже не слышати гласа Господа Бога нашего,
14 Saying, No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, or be hearing the sound of the horn, or be in need of food; there we will make our living-place;
глаголюще: никако, но в землю Египетску внидем, и не узрим рати, и гласа трубнаго не услышим, и о хлебех не взалчем, и тамо вселимся:
15 Then give ear now to the word of the Lord, O you last of Judah: the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, If your minds are fixed on going into Egypt and stopping there;
того ради слышите слово Господне, оставшии Иудины, тако рече Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев: аще вы дадите лице ваше во Египет и внидете тамо жити,
16 Then it will come about that the sword, which is the cause of your fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and need of food, which you are fearing, will go after you there in Egypt; and there death will come to you.
и будет, мечь, егоже вы боитеся от лица его, обрящет вы во Египте, и глад, от негоже вы опасение имате от лица его, постигнет вы вслед вас во Египте, и тамо измрете вы.
17 Such will be the fate of all the men whose minds are fixed on going into Egypt and stopping there; they will come to their end by the sword, by being short of food, and by disease: not one of them will keep his life or get away from the evil which I will send on them.
И будут вси мужие и вси иноплеменницы положившии лице свое на землю Египетску жити тамо, оскудеют гладом и мечем, и будет от них ни един спасаемь от зол, яже Аз наведу на ня.
18 For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: As my wrath and passion have been let loose on the people of Jerusalem, so will my passion be let loose on you when you go into Egypt: and you will become an oath and a cause of wonder and a curse and a name of shame; and you will never see this place again.
Яко тако рече Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: якоже вскапа ярость Моя на живущыя во Иерусалиме, тако вскаплет ярость Моя на вас, вшедшым вам во Египет: и будете в непроходимая и подручни, и в клятву и во укоризну, и не узрите ктому места сего.
19 The Lord has said about you, O last of Judah, Go not into Egypt: be certain that I have given witness to you this day.
Сия глагола Господь на вас оставшихся от Иуды: не входите во Египет. И ныне ведяще уведаете, яко засвидетелствовах вам днесь:
20 For you have been acting with deceit in your hearts; for you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, Make prayer for us to the Lord our God, and give us word of everything he may say, and we will do it.
яко слукавновасте в душах ваших, пославше мя ко Господу Богу вашему, глаголюще: помолися о нас Господеви: и по всему, елико возглаголет тебе Господь Бог наш, тако возвести нам, и сотворим.
21 And this day I have made it clear to you, and you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord your God in anything for which he has sent me to you.
И возвестих вам днесь, и не послушасте гласа Господа Бога вашего во всем, егоже посла к вам:
22 And now be certain that you will come to your end by the sword and by being short of food and by disease, in the place to which you are pleased to go for a living-place.
и ныне ведуще ведайте, яко мечем и гладом и мором изчезнете на месте, на неже хощете ити жити тамо.
