Книга пророка Иеремии 31
1 Во время оно рече Господь, буду в Бога роду Израилеву, и тии будут Ми в люди.
"At that time," says Jehovah, "will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people."
2 Тако рече Господь: обретох теплоту в пустыни со изгибшими от меча: идите и не потребите Израиля,
Thus says Jehovah, "The people who were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
3 Господь издалеча явится ему: любовию вечною возлюбих тя, того ради вовлекох тя в щедроты.
Jehovah appeared to him from afar. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you.
4 Яко возгражду тя, и возградишися, дево Израилева: возмеши тимпаны своя и изыдеши с собором играющих.
Again will I build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: again you shall be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go forth in the dances of those who make merry.
5 Еще насадите винограды в горе Самарийстей, насаждающе насадите и похвалите.
Again you shall plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy its fruit.
6 Яко есть день воззвания отвещавающих в горах Ефремовых: востаните и взыдите в Сион ко Господеви Богу нашему:
For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim shall cry, "Arise, and let us go up to Zion to Jehovah our God."'"
7 яко тако рече Господь Иакову: возвеселитеся веселием и воскликните на главу языков: слышано сотворите и похвалите, рцыте: спасе Господь люди Своя, останок Израилев.
For thus says Jehovah, "Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish, praise, and say, 'For Jehovah has saved your people, the remnant of Israel.'
8 Се, Аз веду их от севера и соберу их от конец земли в праздник Пасхи: и чадородит народ мног, и возвратятся семо.
'Look, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together: a great company shall they return here.
9 С плачем изыдоша, а со утешением возведу я, проводя чрез ровенники вод по пути праву, и не заблудят по нему: яко Аз бех Израилеви во отца, и Ефрем первенец Ми есть.
They shall come with weeping; and with petitions will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.'"
10 Слышите, языцы, слово Господне, и возвестите во островех дальних и рцыте: Развеявый Израиля соберет его и снабдит его, яко пастырь стадо свое.
Hear the word of Jehovah, you nations, and declare it in the islands afar off; and say, "He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as shepherd does his flock."
11 Яко избави Господь Иакова и изят его от руки сильнейших его.
For Jehovah has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
12 И приидут и возвеселятся в горе Сион, и приидут ко благотам Господним, на землю пшеницы и вина и плодов, и скотов и овнов: и будет душа их якоже древо плодовито, и не взалчут ктому.
They shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and they shall be radient over the goodness of Jehovah, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13 Тогда возрадуются девицы в собрании юношей, и старцы возрадуются: и обращу плачь их на радость, и утешу их, и сотворю их веселы.
"Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 Возвеличу и упою душу жерцев сынов Левииных, и людие Мои благот Моих насытятся.
I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness," says Jehovah.
15 Тако рече Господь: глас в Раме слышан бысть плача и рыдания и вопля: Рахиль плачущися чад своих, и не хотяше утешитися, яко не суть.
Thus says Jehovah: "A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great bitterness, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more."
16 Тако рече Господь: да почиет глас твой от плача и очи твои от слез, яко есть мзда делом твоим, глаголет Господь, и возвратятся от земли вражия:
Thus says Jehovah: "Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded," says Jehovah; "and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 и есть надежда последним твоим, (глаголет Господь, ) и возвратятся сынове твои в пределы своя.
There is hope for your latter end," says Jehovah; "and your children shall come again to their own border.
18 Слышя слышах Ефрема плачуща: наказал мя еси, (Господи, ) и наказахся: аз якоже телец не научихся: обрати мя, и обращуся, яко Ты еси Господь Бог мой:
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus, 'You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf: turn me, and I shall be turned; for you are Jehovah my God.
19 понеже последи пленения моего покаяхся и последи разумения моего возстенах в день посрамления и показах тебе, яко приях укоризну от юности моея.
Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I struck on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.'
20 Сын любезен Мне, Ефрем, отроча питеющееся, понеже словеса Моя в нем, памятию воспомяну и: того ради потщахся о нем, милуяй помилую его, рече Господь.
Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him," says Jehovah.
21 Постави себе самого, Сионе, стражу, сотвори мучение, направи сердце твое на путь прав, имже ходил еси: возвратися, девице Израилева, обратися во грады твоя рыдающи.
"Set up road signs, make guideposts; set your heart toward the highway, even the way by which you went: turn again, virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
22 Доколе отвращаешися, дщи обезчествованая? Яко созда Господь спасение в насаждение ново, в немже спасении обыдут человецы.
How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For Jehovah has created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man."
23 Яко тако рече Господь: еще рекут слово сие в земли Иудейстей и во градех ея, егда возвращу преселение его: благословен Господь на праведней горе святей своей:
Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, "Yet again shall they use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I shall bring again their captivity: 'Jehovah bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.'
24 и живущии во градех Иудиных и во всей земли его, купно со земледельцем, и вознесется во стаде.
Judah and all its cities shall dwell in it together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
25 Яко упоих всяку душу жаждущу и всяку душу алчущу насытих.
For I have satiated the weary soul, and every sorrowful soul have I replenished."
26 Того ради востах от сна и видех, и сон ми сладок бысть.
On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
27 Се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и всею Израиля и Иуду семя человечо и семя скотское.
"Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of animal.
28 И будет, якоже бдех на ня потребити и озлобити, тако бдети буду о них, еже созидати и насаждати, рече Господь.
It shall happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so will I watch over them to build and to plant," says Jehovah.
29 В тыя дни не рекут ктому: отцы ядоша кислая, а зубы детем оскомнишася:
"In those days they shall say no more, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.'
30 но кийждо своим грехом умрет, и ядшему кислая оскоменятся зубы его.
But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 Се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и завещаю дому Израилеву и дому Иудину завет нов,
Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 не по завету, егоже завещах отцем их в день, в оньже емшу ми за руку их, извести я от земли Египетския, яко тии не пребыша в завете Моем, и Аз небрегох их, глаголет Господь.
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, and I disregarded them," says Jehovah.
33 Яко сей завет, егоже завещаю дому Израилеву по днех онех, глаголет Господь: дая законы Моя в мысли их, и на сердцах их напишу я, и буду им в Бога, и тии будут Ми в люди:
"But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days," says Jehovah: "I will put my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
34 и не научит кийждо ближняго своего и кийждо брата своего, глаголя: познай Господа: яко вси познают Мя от мала даже и до великаго их: яко милостив буду неправдам их и грехов их не помяну ктому.
and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know Jehovah'; for they shall all know me, from their least to their greatest, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sins I will remember no more."
35 Аще возиесется небо на высоту, рече Господь, и аще смирится испод земли низу, и Аз не отвергу рода Израилева о всех, яже сотвориша, глаголет Господь.
Thus says Jehovah, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar; Jehovah of hosts is his name:
36 Тако рече Господь, давый солнце во свет дне, луну и звезды на свет нощи, и вопль на мори, и возшумеша волны его, Господь Вседержитель имя Ему.
"If this fixed order departs from before me," says Jehovah, "then the descendants of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever."
37 Аще премолкнут законы сии от лица Моего, рече Господь, то и род Израилев престанет быти язык пред лицем Моим во вся дни.
Thus says Jehovah: "If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then will I also cast off all the descendants of Israel for all that they have done," says Jehovah.
38 Се, дние грядут, рече Господь, и созиждется град Господеви от столпа Анамеиля до врат уголных:
"Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "that the city shall be built to Jehovah from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
39 и изыдет размерение его противу ему до могил Гарив, и оымется окрест избранным камением,
The measuring line shall go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and shall turn about to Goah.
40 и всю юдоль мертвых и пепела, и весь Ассаримоф даже до водотечи Кедрския, даже до угла коний врат восточных, освящение Господеви, и ктому не исторгнется и не потребится даже до века.
The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to Jehovah; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more forever."
