Jeremiah 9
1 Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Кто даст главе моей воду и очесем моим источник слез? И плачуся день и нощь о побиенных дщере людий моих.
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people and go from them! For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
Кто даст мне в пустыни виталище последнее? И оставлю люди моя и отиду от них: понеже вси любодействуют, соборище преступников.
3 “They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. They have grown strong in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me,” says Yahweh.
И налякоша язык свой яко лук: лжа и неверство укрепишася на земли, ибо от злых во злая произыдоша и Мене не познаша, рече Господь.
4 “Everyone beware of his neighbor, and don’t trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go around like a slanderer.
Кийждо от искренняго своего да стрежется, и на братию свою не уповайте, ибо всяк брат запинанием запнет, и всяк друг льстивно наскочит.
5 Friends deceive each other, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves committing iniquity.
Кийждо другу своему посмеется, истины не возглаголют: научиша язык свой глаголати лжу, неправдоваша и не восхотеша обратитися.
6 Your habitation is in the middle of deceit. Through deceit, they refuse to know me,” says Yahweh.
Лихва на лихву и лесть на лесть: не восхотеша уведети Мене, рече Господь.
7 Therefore Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, I will melt them and test them; for how should I deal with the daughter of my people?
Сего ради тако глаголет Господь Сил: се, Аз разжегу их и искушу их: что бо ино сотворю от лица лукавства дщери людий Моих?
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow. It speaks deceit. One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart, he waits to ambush him.
Стрела уязвляющая язык их, льстивии глаголы уст их: приятелю своему глаголет мирная, внутрь же себе имеет вражду.
9 Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says Yahweh. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on a nation such as this?
Еда на сих не посещу? Рече Господь: или людем таковым не отмстит душа Моя?
10 I will weep and wail for the mountains, and lament for the pastures of the wilderness, because they are burned up, so that no one passes through; Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock. Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled. They are gone.
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.
11 “I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
И дам Иерусалим в преселение и в жилище змием и грады Иудины положу в разорение, яко не будет обитающаго.
12 Who is wise enough to understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of Yahweh has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
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?
13 Yahweh says, “Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in my ways,
И рече Господь ко мне: понеже оставиша закон Мой, егоже дах пред лицем их, и не послушаша гласа Моего и не ходиша по нему,
14 but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.”
но поидоша по изволению сердца своего лукаваго и вслед идолов, имже научиша их отцы их:
15 Therefore Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.
сего ради тако глаголет Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: се, Аз напитаю люди сия теснотами и в питие дам им воду желчную,
16 I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
и расточу их во языки, ихже не знаша тии и отцы их, и послю на них мечь, дондеже истлятся.
17 Yahweh of Armies says, “Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come. Send for the skillful women, that they may come.
Сия рече Господь Сил: призовите плачевниц, и да приидут, и ко женам премудрым послите, и да вещают
18 Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears and our eyelids gush out with waters.
и да приимут над вами плачь, и да изведут очи ваши слезы, и вежди ваши да излиют воду:
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, ‘How we are ruined! We are greatly confounded because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
зане глас плача слышан бысть во Сионе: како бедни быхом, постыждени зело, яко оставихом землю и отринухом жилища наша?
20 Yet hear Yahweh’s word, you women. Let your ear receive the word of his mouth. Teach your daughters wailing. Everyone teach her neighbor a lamentation.
Темже слышите, жены, слово Господне, и приимите ушима вашима словеса уст Его, и научите дщери вашя рыданию, и каяждо искреннюю свою плачу:
21 For death has come up into our windows. It has entered into our palaces to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.
понеже взыде смерть сквозе окна ваша и вниде в землю вашу погубити отрочата отвне и юношы от стогн.
22 Speak, “Yahweh says, “‘The dead bodies of men will fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester. No one will gather them.’”
(Глаголи: ) сия рече Господь: и будут мертвии человецы в пример на лицы поля земли вашея, яко сено созади жнущаго, и не будет собирающаго.
23 Yahweh says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.
Тако глаголет Господь: да не хвалится мудрый мудростию своею, и да не хвалится крепкий крепостию своею, и да не хвалится богатый богатством своим:
24 But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for I delight in these things,” says Yahweh.
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.
25 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will punish all those who are circumcised only in their flesh:
Се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и посещу на всех, иже обрезаную имут плоть свою:
26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon, Moab, and all who have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness, for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.”
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.
