Книга пророка Иеремии 34
1 Слово, еже бысть ко Иеремии от Господа, егда Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский и вси вои его, и вся земля власти его и вси людие воеваху на Иерусалим и на вся грады Иудины, глаголя:
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth under his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities thereof, saying,
2 тако рече Господь Бог Израилев: иди ко Седекии царю Иудину и речеши ему: тако рече Господь: преданием предастся сей град в руце царя Вавилонска, и возмет его и пожжет его огнем:
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
3 и ты не уцелееши от руку его, и ят будеши, и в руце его предасися: и очи твои очи его узрят, и уста его со усты твоими соглаголют, и в Вавилон внидеши.
And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt certainly be taken, and given into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4 Но обаче слыши слово Господне, Седекие, царю Иудин! Тако глаголет Господь к тебе: не умреши от меча, но в мире умреши:
Only, hear the word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah. Thus saith Jehovah as to thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword;
5 и якоже плакаша отцев твоих царствовавших прежде тебе, восплачутся и тебе: увы, господи, и: увы, господи! Восплачутся и тебе, яко слово Аз соглаголах, рече Господь.
thou shalt die in peace, and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they burn for thee; and they will lament for thee, Ah, lord! for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah.
6 И глагола Иеремиа пророк ко Седекии царю Иудину вся словеса сия во Иерусалиме.
And the prophet Jeremiah spoke all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah, in Jerusalem.
7 И сила царя Вавилонска воева на Иерусалим и на грады Иудины оставшыяся: на Лахис и на Азику, яко тии осташася во градех Иудиных грады тверды.
And the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah; for these were amongst the cities of Judah, the fenced cities that were left.
8 Слово бывшее ко Иеремии от Господа, повнегда скончати царю Седекии завет к людем, иже во Иерусалиме, еже нарещи им отпущение,
The word that came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people that were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them:
9 еже отпустити комуждо раба своего и комуждо рабыню свою, Евреанина и Евреаныню, свободны, да не работает муж от Израиля.
that every man should let his bondman, and every man his bondmaid, the Hebrew and the Hebrewess, go free, that none should exact service of them, [that is, ] of a Jew his brother.
10 И обратишася вси вельможи и вси людие вступившии в завет еже отпустити комуждо раба своего и комуждо рабу свою свободны и ктому не владети ими. Слышаша убо и отпустиша.
And all the princes and all the people that had entered into the covenant obeyed, every man letting his bondman and every man his bondmaid go free, that none should exact service of them any more: they obeyed, and let [them] go.
11 И обратишася по сих вспять и удержаша паки рабы и рабыни своя, ихже отпустиша свободных, и взяша в рабы и рабыни.
But afterwards they turned, and caused the bondmen and the bondmaids whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for bondmen and for bondmaids.
12 И бысть слово Господне ко Иеремии от Господа глаголя:
And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
13 тако рече Господь Бог Израилев: Аз завещах завет ко отцем вашым в день, в оньже избавих я от земли Египетския, из дому работы, глаголя:
Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
14 егда скончаются шесть лет, да отпустиши брата своего Евреанина, иже продан есть тебе: и да делает ти шесть лет, и да отпустиши его свободна от себе. И не послушаша Мене отцы ваши, ни приклониша уха своего.
At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother, a Hebrew, who hath sold himself unto thee; when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee. But your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
15 И обратистеся вы днесь сотворити правая пред очима Моима, еже нарещи комуждо отпущение ближняго своего: и совершисте завет пред лицем Моим в дому, идеже наречеся имя Мое в нем:
And you, ye had this day turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
16 и отвратистеся, и осквернисте завет Мой, еже возвратити комуждо раба своего и комуждо рабу свою, ихже отпустисте свободны душею их: и покористе их, якоже быти у вас в рабы и в рабыни.
but ye have turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his bondman, and every man his bondmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and ye have brought them into subjection, to be unto you for bondmen and for bondmaids.
17 Того ради сице рече Господь: вы не послушасте Мене, нарещи отпущения кийждо брату своему и кийждо ближнему своему: се, Аз нарицаю отпущение вам на мечь и на смерть и на глад, и дам вы на разсыпание всем царствам земным:
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith Jehovah, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will give you over to be driven hither and thither among all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 и дам мужы преступившыя завет Мой и не хранящыя словес завета Моего, емуже соизволиша пред лицем Моим: телца егоже разсекоша на две части и ходиша между разделенными частьми его:
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, — the calf which they cut in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,
19 князи Иудины и князи Иерусалимли, и вельможы и жерцы и вся люди земли ходящыя между разделеным телцем,
— the princes of Judah and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, that passed between the parts of the calf;
20 и дам я в руки врагом их и в руки ищущих души их, и будут трупи их в ядь птицам небесным и зверем земным:
them will I give into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them that seek their life; and their carcases shall be food for the fowl of the heavens and for the beasts of the earth.
21 и Седекию царя Иудейска и князи его дам в руце врагов их и в руку ищущих души их и в руку воинства царя Вавилонска, отбегающих от них.
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
22 Се, Аз завещаю, рече Господь, и возвращу я в землю сию, и повоюют на ню, и возмут ю, и пожгут ю огнем и грады Иудины: и дам я в непроходны от живущих.
Behold, I command, saith Jehovah, and I will cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
