Книга пророка Иезекииля 20
1 И бысть в лето седмое, в пятый месяц, в десятый день месяца, приидоша мужие от старейшин дому Израилева вопросити Господа и седоша пред лицем моим.
It came about in the seventh year, on the tenth day of the fifth month, that elders of Israel came to inquire of Yahweh and sat before me.
2 И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
3 сыне человечь, глаголи ко старейшинам дому Израилева и речеши к ним: тако глаголет Адонаи Господь: еда вопросити Мене вы приходите? Живу Аз, аще отвещаю вам, глаголет Адонаи Господь.
“Son of man, declare to the elders of Israel and say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Have you come to inquire of me? As I live, I will not be inquired of by you!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'
4 Аще отмщением отмщу им: сыне человечь, беззакония отец их засвидетелствуй им,
Will you judge them? Will you judge, son of man? Let them know about their fathers' abominations.
5 и речеши к ним: сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: от негоже дне избрах дом Израилев, и уведен бых племени дому Иаковля и познан бых им во земли Египетстей, и приях я рукою Моею глаголя: Аз Господь Бог ваш:
Say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: On the day that I chose Israel and raised my hand to swear an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I raised my hand to swear an oath to them. I said, “I am Yahweh your God”—
6 в той день подях я рукою Моею, еже извести я из земли Египетския в землю, юже уготовах им, землю кипящую млеком и медом, сот есть паче всех земель,
on that day I raised my hand to swear an oath to them that I would bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had carefully selected for them. It was flowing with milk and honey; it was the most beautiful ornament among all the lands.
7 и рекох к ним: кийждо мерзости от очес своих отвержите и во творениих Египетских не оскверняйтеся, Аз Господь Бог ваш.
I said to them, “Let each man throw away the detestable things from before his eyes and the idols of Egypt. Do not make yourselves unclean; I am Yahweh your God.”
8 И отвергошася Мене и не хотеша послушати Мя: кийждо мерзостей от очес своих не отвергоша и творений Египетских не оставиша. И рекох, еже излияти ярость Мою на ня и скончати гнев Мой на них среде земли Египетския.
But they rebelled against me and were unwilling to listen to me. Each man did not throw away the detestable things from before his eyes nor forsake the idols of Egypt, so I determined to pour out my fury upon them to satisfy my wrath among them in the middle of the land of Egypt.
9 И сотворих, яко да имя Мое весьма не осквернится пред языки, в нихже суть тии среде их, в нихже познан бых им пред лицем их, еже извести я из земли Египетския.
I acted for my name's sake so it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were staying. I made myself known to them, in their eyes, by bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
10 И изведох я из земли Египетския и введох я в пустыню,
So I sent them out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.
11 и дах им заповеди Моя, и оправдания Моя явих им, яже аще сотворит человек, жив будет в них:
Then I gave them my statutes and made my decrees known to them, by which a man will live if he obeys them.
12 и субботы Моя дах им, еже быти в знамение между Мною и между ими, еже разумети им, яко Аз Господь освящаяй их.
I also gave them my Sabbaths as a sign between myself and them, for them to know that I am Yahweh who makes them holy.
13 И глаголах ко дому Израилеву в пустыни: в заповедех Моих ходите и оправдания Моя сохраните, еже творити я, яже сотворит человек и жив будет в них. И разгнева Мя дом Израилев в пустыни: в заповедех бо Моих не ходиша и оправдания Моя отвергоша, яже сотворит человек и жив будет в них: и субботы Моя оскверниша зело. И рекох, еже излияти ярость Мою на ня в пустыни, еже потребити их.
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not walk in my statutes; instead, they rejected my decrees, by which a man will live if he obeys them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths, so I said I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness in order to end them.
14 И сотворих, яко да весьма имя Мое не осквернится пред языки, из нихже изведох я пред очима их.
But I acted for my name's sake so it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out of Egypt.
15 И Аз воздвигох руку Мою на ня в пустыни весьма, еже не ввести их в землю, юже дах им, в землю текущую млеком и медом, сот есть паче всея земли:
So I myself also raised my hand to swear an oath to them in the wilderness not to bring them into the land that I had been going to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey, which was the most beautiful ornament among all the lands.
16 понеже судбы Моя отвергоша и в заповедех Моих не ходиша, и субботы Моя оскверниша и вслед помышлений сердца своего хождаху.
I swore this because they had rejected my decrees and did not walk in my statutes, and they profaned my Sabbaths, since their hearts walked after their idols.
17 И пощаде я око Мое, еже потребити их, и не сотворих им скончания в пустыни.
But my eye spared them from their destruction and I did not annihilate them in the wilderness.
18 И рекох ко чадом их в пустыни: в законех отец ваших не ходите и оправданий их не храните, и ко творением Египетским не примешайтеся и не оскверняйтеся:
I said to their children in the wilderness, “Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, or keep their rules, or defile yourselves with their idols.
19 Аз Господь Бог ваш: в заповедех Моих ходите, и оправдания Моя снабдите и творите я,
I am Yahweh your God, walk in my statutes; keep my decrees and obey them.
20 и субботы Моя освящайте и будет в знамение между Мною и между вами, еже ведети вам, яко Аз Господь Бог ваш.
Keep my Sabbaths holy so that they will be a sign between me and you, so that you will know that I am Yahweh your God.”
21 И разгневаша Мя, и чада их в заповедех Моих не ходиша и оправданий Моих не снабдеша, еже творити я: сия бо сотворив человек жив будет в них: и субботы Моя оскверниша зело. И рекох: излию ярость Мою на ня, еже скончати гнев Мой на них в пустыни.
But their sons and daughters rebelled against me. They did not walk in my statutes or keep my decrees, by which a man might live if he obeys them. They profaned my Sabbaths, so I determined to pour out my fury upon them to satisfy my wrath against them in the wilderness.
22 И сотворих, яко да имя Мое весьма не осквернавится пред языки, от нихже изведох я пред очима их.
But I turned my hand away and acted for my name's sake, so it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought out the Israelites.
23 И Аз воздвигох руку Мою на ня в пустыни, еже расточити я во языцех и разсеяти я во странах,
I myself also lifted up my hand to swear to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them among the lands.
24 понеже оправданий Моих не сотвориша и заповеди Моя отринуша и субботы Моя оскверниша, и вслед кумиров отец их быша очеса их.
I decided to do this since they had not obeyed my decrees, and since they had rejected my statutes and profaned my Sabbaths. Their eyes were longing after their fathers' idols.
25 И дах им заповеди не добры и оправдания, в нихже не будут живи:
Then I also gave them statutes that were not good, and decrees by which they could not live.
26 и оскверню я в даяниих их, внегда проводити (им) всякое разверзающее ложесна, да погублю их, да уразумеют, яко Аз Господь.
I declared them to be unclean through their gifts—they made a sacrifice of every firstborn of the womb and caused them to pass through the fire—that I might fill them with horror so they will know that I am Yahweh!'
27 Сего ради глаголи к дому Израилеву, сыне человечь, и речеши к ним: сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: даже до сего разгневаша Мя отцы ваши во гресех своих, имиже согрешиша ко Мне:
Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel and say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: In this also your fathers blasphemed me when they were unfaithful to me.
28 и введох я в землю, в нюже воздвигох руку Мою, еже дати ю им: и видеша всяк холм высок и всяко древо присенное, и пожроша тамо богом своим и учиниша тамо ярость даров своих, и положиша тамо воню благовония своего и возлияша тамо возлияния своя.
When I brought them into the land that I had sworn to give them, and then whenever they saw any high hill and leafy tree, they offered their sacrifices, they provoked me by their offerings, and there they also burned their fragrant incense and poured out their drink offerings.
29 И рекох к ним: что суть Аввама, яко вы входите тамо? И прозваша имя ему Аввама даже до днешняго дне.
Then I said to them, “What is this high place where you bring offerings there?” So the name is called Bamah to this day.'
30 Сего ради рцы к дому Израилеву: сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: аще во беззакониих отец ваших вы оскверняетеся и вслед мерзостей их вы соблуждаете,
Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Why do you make yourselves unclean with the ways of your fathers? So why do you act like prostitutes, searching for disgusting things?
31 и в приношении даров ваших и в нароцех ваших, егда проходят чада ваша сквозе огнь: вы оскверняетеся во всех кумирех ваших даже до днешняго дне, и Аз отвещаю ли вам, доме Израилев? Живу Аз, глаголет Адонаи Господь, аще отвещаю вам и аще взыдет на дух ваш сие.
When you offer up your gifts—when you cause your sons to pass through the fire—to this day you defile yourselves with all your idols. So why should I let you seek me, house of Israel? As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—I will not allow you to seek me.
32 И не будет, якоже вы глаголете: будем, якоже языцы и якоже племена земная, служити древу и камению.
The thought that is forming in your mind will never happen. You say, “Let us be like the other nations, like the clans in the other lands who worship wood and stone.”
33 Сего ради живу Аз, глаголет Адонаи Господь, аще не рукою крепкою и мышцею высокою и в ярости излиянней царствовати буду над вами:
As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—I will certainly reign over you with a mighty hand, a raised arm, and fury that will be poured out on you.
34 и изведу вы от людий и прииму вы от стран, в нихже бесте разсеяни, рукою крепкою и мышцею высокою и яростию излиянною,
I will bring you out from the other peoples and will gather you out of the countries among whom you have been scattered. I will do this with a mighty hand and with fury poured out.
35 и приведу вас в пустыню людскую и разсуждуся с вами тамо лицем к лицу:
Then I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will judge you face to face.
36 якоже судихся со отцы вашими в пустыни земли Египетския, тако сужду и вам, глаголет Адонаи Господь:
As I judged your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so also I will judge you—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
37 и проведу вы под жезлом моим и введу вы в числе завета,
I will cause you to pass under my rod, and I will make you obey the requirements of the covenant.
38 и изберу от вас нечестивыя и отвергшыяся: из земли бо обитания их изведу я, и в землю Израилеву не внидут, и познаете, яко Аз Господь Бог.
I will purge from among you the rebels and those who revolt against me. I will send them out from the land where they are staying as foreigners, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
39 Вы же, доме Израилев, сице глаголет Адонаи Господь: кийждо кумиры своя отимите, и потом аще послушаете Мене, и имене Моего святаго не осквернавите ксему в дарех ваших и рукотворениих ваших:
So to you, house of Israel, the Lord Yahweh says this: Each of you should go to his own idols. Worship them if you will refuse to listen to me, but you must no longer profane my holy name with your gifts and your idols.
40 понеже на горе Моей святей, на горе высоце Израилеве, глаголет Адонаи Господь, тамо послужат Ми весь дом Израилев до конца на земли, и тамо прииму я и тамо присещу на приношения ваша и начатки обетов ваших во всех освященных ваших.
For on my holy mountain, on the mountain peak of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—all of the house of Israel will worship me there in the land. I will be pleased to require your offerings there, and also the firstfruits of your tribute with all your holy things.
41 В воню благовония прииму вы, егда изведу вы из людий и прииму вы от стран, в няже расточени бысте, и освящуся в вас пред очима людскима:
I will accept you like fragrant incense when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered. I will show myself as holy among you for the nations to see.
42 и увесте, яко Аз Господь, егда введу вы в землю Израилеву, в землю, на нюже воздвигох руку Мою дати ю отцем вашым:
Then, when I bring you to the land of Israel, to the land that I have lifted up my hand to swear to give to your fathers, you will know that I am Yahweh.
43 и помянете тамо пути вашя и вся мерзкия грехи вашя, в нихже осквернистеся, и посрамите лица ваша во всех злобах ваших, яже сотвористе:
There you will call to mind your conduct and all of your deeds by which you defiled yourselves, and you will despise yourselves in your own eyes for all your evil deeds that you have done.
44 и познаете, яко Аз Господь, егда сотворю вам тако, яко да имя Мое не осквернится по путем вашым злым и по рукотворением вашым растленным, доме Израилев, глаголет Адонаи Господь.
So you will know that I am Yahweh when I do this to you because of my name's sake, and not because of your evil deeds, and not because of your corrupt deeds, house of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
45 И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
46 сыне человечь, утверди лице твое на юг и воззри на дарома, и прорцы на дубраву старейшину нагева
“Son of man, set your face toward the southern lands, and speak against the south; prophesy against the forest of the Negev.
47 и речеши дубраве нагевове: слыши слово Господне, сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: се, Аз возгнещу в тебе огнь, и пожжет в тебе всяко древо зеленое и всяко древо сухое, не угаснет пламень разжженый, и изгорит в нем всяко лице от полудне до севера,
Say to the forest of the Negev, 'This is Yahweh's declaration—the Lord Yahweh says this: See, I will set a fire among you. It will devour every fresh tree and every dried tree among you. The fiery flame will not be quenched; every face from the south to the north will be burned.
48 и увесть всяка плоть, яко Аз Господь разжегох его, и не угаснет.
Then all flesh will see that I am Yahweh when I light the fire, and it will not be quenched.'”
49 И рекох: никакоже, Господи, Господи! Сии глаголют ко мне: не притча ли есть сия глаголема?
Then I said, “Alas! Lord Yahweh, they are saying of me, 'Is he not a mere teller of parables?'”
