Jeremiah 18
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Слово, еже бысть ко Иеремии от Господа, рекущее:
2 "Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear my words."
востани и сниди в дом скудельничь, и тамо услышиши словеса Моя.
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and look, he was making a work on the wheels.
И снидох в дом скудельничь, и се, той творяше дело на каменех.
4 When the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
И разбися сосуд, егоже той творяше от глины рукама своима: и паки той сотвори из него иный сосуд, якоже угодно во очию его творити.
5 Then the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко мне, рекущее:
6 "'House of Israel, can't I do with you as this potter?' says YHWH. 'Look, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, house of Israel.'
еда, якоже скудельник сей, не возмогу сотворити вас, доме Израилев? Рече Господь: се, якоже брение в руку скудельника, тако вы есте, доме Израилев, в руку Моею:
7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it;
наконец возглаголю на язык и на царство, да искореню их и разорю и расточу я:
8 if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, I will change my mind about the disaster that I thought to do to them.
и аще обратится язык той от всех лукавств своих, то раскаюся о озлоблениих, яже помыслих сотворити им:
9 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
и наконец реку на язык и царство, да возсозижду и насажду я,
10 if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they not obey my voice, then I will repent of the good, with which I said I would benefit them.
и аще сотворят лукавая пред очима Моима, еже не послушати гласа Моего, то раскаюся о благих, яже глаголах сотворити им.
11 Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 'Thus says YHWH: Look, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return now everyone from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.'
И ныне рцы ко мужем Иудиным и обитателем Иерусалима, рекий: сия рече Господь: се, Аз творю на вас злая и мышлю на вас умышление: да обратится убо кийждо от пути своего лукаваго, и исправите пути вашя и умышления ваша.
12 But they say, 'It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do everyone after the stubbornness of his evil heart.'"
И рекоша: укрепимся, ибо по развращением нашым пойдем, и кийждо угодное сердца своего лукаваго сотворим.
13 Therefore thus says YHWH: "Ask now among the nations, who has heard such things; the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
Сего ради сия глаголет Господь: вопросите ныне языков, кто слыша сицевая страшная, яже сотвори зело дева Израилева?
14 Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? Shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?
Еда оскудеют от камене сосцы, или снег от Ливана? Еда уклонится вода зелно ветром носимая?
15 For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false gods; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built up;
Понеже забыша Мене людие Мои всуе жруще, и изнемогут на путех своих и на стезях вечных, еже взыти на стези не имущыя пути на хождение,
16 to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing; everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished, and shake his head.
еже положити землю свою в запустение и во звиздание вечное: всяк, иже прейдет по ней, почудится и покивает главою своею:
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity."
якоже ветр палящь разсею их пред враги их, хребет, а не лице покажу им в день погибели их.
18 Then they said, "Come, and let us make plans against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words."
И рекоша: приидите и умыслим на Иеремию совет, ибо не погибнет закон от священника, ни совет от премудраго, ни слово от пророка: приидите и поразим его языком, и не вонмем всем словесем его.
19 "Give heed to me, YHWH, and listen to the voice of those who contend with me.
Вонми, Господи, мне и услыши глас оправдания моего.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.
Еда воздаются злая за благая? Яко глаголаша словеса на душу мою и мучителство свое сокрыша ми. Помяни стоявшаго мя пред Тобою, еже глаголати за них благая, да отвращу гнев Твой от них.
21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, and their young men struck of the sword in battle.
Сего ради даждь сыны их в глад и собери их в руце меча: да будут жены их безчадны и вдовы, и мужие их да будут убиени смертию, и юноши их да падут мечем на рати:
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you shall bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
да будет вопль в домех их: наведи на них разбойники внезапу, понеже совещаша слово, да имут мя, и сети скрыша на мя.
23 Yet, YHWH, you know all their counsel against me to kill me; do not forgive their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your sight; but let them be overthrown before you; deal you with them in the time of your anger."
Ты же, Господи, веси весь совет их на мя в смерть: да не очистиши беззакония их и грехов их от лица Твоего да не изгладиши: да будет болезнь их пред Тобою, и во время ярости Твоея сотвори им.
