Книга пророка Иеремии 4
1 Аще обратишися, Израилю, глаголет Господь, ко Мне обратися: и аще отимеши мерзости твоя от уст твоих, и от лица Моего убоишися,
If Israel will return to me, saith the Lord, he shall return: and if he will remove his abominations out of his mouth, and fear before me, and swear,
2 и кленешися, живет Господь, во истине и в суде и в правде, и благословят в Нем языцы и в Нем восхвалят Бога во Иерусалиме.
The Lord lives, with truth, in judgment and righteousness, then shall nations bless by him, and by him they shall praise God in Jerusalem.
3 Сия бо глаголет Господь мужем Иудиным и обитателем Иерусалимлим: поновите себе поля и не сейте на тернии:
For thus saith the Lord to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Break up fresh ground for yourselves, and sow not among thorns.
4 обрежитеся Богу вашему и обрежите жестосердие ваше, мужие Иудины и обитающии во Иерусалиме, да не изыдет яко огнь ярость Моя, и возгорится, и не будет угашаяй, ради лукавства начинаний ваших.
Circumcise yourselves to your God, and circumcise your hardness of heart, ye men of Juda, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my wrath go forth as fire, and burn, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your devices.
5 Возвестите во Иудеи, и да услышится во Иерусалиме: глаголите, воспойте трубою на земли, возопийте зело и рцыте: соберитеся, и внидем во грады тверды.
Declare ye in Juda, and let it be heard in Jerusalem: say ye, Sound the trumpet in the land; cry ye aloud: say ye, Gather yourselves together, and let us enter into the fortified cities.
6 Воздвигше (знамение) бежите в Сион, потщитеся, не стойте, яко злая Аз навожду от севера и сотрение велико.
Gather up [your wares] and flee to Sion: hasten, stay not: for I will bring evils from the north, and great destruction.
7 Взыде лев от ложа своего, и погубляяй языки воздвижеся и изыде от места своего, да положит землю твою в пустыню, и гради твои разорятся, оставшии без обитателей.
The lion is gone up from his lair, he has roused [himself] to the destruction of the nations, and has gone forth out of his place, to make the land desolate; and the cities shall be destroyed, so as to be without inhabitant.
8 О сих препояшитеся во вретища и плачите и рыдайте, яко не отвратися гнев ярости Господни от вас.
For these things gird yourselves with sackclothes, and lament, and howl: for the anger of the Lord is not turned away from you.
9 И будет в день той, глаголет Господь, погибнет сердце царево и сердце началников, и священницы ужаснутся, и пророцы удивятся.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be amazed, and the prophets shall wonder.
10 И рекох: о, Владыко Господи, еда обольстил еси люди сия и Иерусалима, рекий: мир будет вам? И се, пройде мечь даже до души их.
And I said, O sovereign Lord, verily thou hast deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, There shall be peace; whereas behold, the sword has reached even to their soul.
11 Во время оно речется людем сим и Иерусалиму: дух заблуждения в пустыни, путь дщере людий Моих, не ко очищению, ниже во святое:
At that time they shall say to this people and to Jerusalem, [There is] a spirit of error in the wilderness: the way of the daughter of my people is not to purity, nor to holiness.
12 дух исполнения от сих приидет Мне, и ныне Аз возглаголю суды Моя к ним.
[But] a spirit of full vengeance shall come upon me; and now I declare my judgments against them.
13 Се, яко облак взыдет, и яко вихрь колесницы его, быстрее орлов кони его: горе нам, яко бедствуем.
Behold, he shall come up as a cloud, and his chariots as a tempest: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are in misery.
14 Омый от лукавства сердце твое, Иерусалиме, да спасешися: доколе будут в тебе помышления бед твоих?
Cleanse thine heart from wickedness, O Jerusalem, that thou mayest be saved: how long will thy grievous thoughts be within thee?
15 Глас бо возвещающаго от Дана приидет, и слышана будет болезнь от горы Ефремли.
For a voice of one publishing from Dan shall come, and trouble out of mount Ephraim shall be heard of.
16 Рцыте языком: се, приидоша: возвестите во Иерусалиме: полцы идут от земли дальния и даша на грады Иудины глас свой,
Remind ye the nations; behold, they are come: proclaim [it] in Jerusalem, that bands are approaching from a land afar off, and have uttered their voice against the cities of Juda.
17 аки стражы селнии быша над ним окрест: яко пренебрегл Мя еси, глаголет Господь.
As keepers of a field, they have surrounded her; because thou, saith the Lord, has neglected me.
18 Пути твоя и начинания твоя сотвориша тебе сия: сие лукавство твое, понеже горько, яко прикоснуся сердцу твоему.
Thy ways and thy devices have brought these things upon thee; this is thy wickedness, for [it is] bitter, for it has reached to thy heart.
19 Чрево мое, чрево мое болит мне, и чувства сердца моего, смущается душа моя, терзается сердце мое: не умолчу, яко глас трубы услышала душа моя, вопль рати и беды:
I am pained in my bowels, my bowels, and the sensitive powers of my heart; my soul is in great commotion, my heart is torn: I will not be silent, for my soul has heard the sound of a trumpet, the cry of war, and of distress: it calls on destruction;
20 сотрение (на сотрение) призывается, понеже опустела вся земля, внезапу опусте жилище мое, расторгошася кожы моя.
for all the land is distressed: suddenly [my] tabernacle is distressed, my curtains have been rent asunder.
21 Доколе зрети имам бежащих, слышащь гласы трубныя?
How long shall I see fugitives, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 Понеже вождеве людий Моих Мене не познаша: сынове буии суть и безумни, мудри суть, еже творити злая, благо же творити не познаша.
For the princes of my people have not known me, they are foolish and unwise children: they are wise to do evil, but [how] to do good they have not known.
23 Воззрех на землю, и се, ничтоже, и на небо, и не бе света его.
I looked upon the earth, and, behold, [it was] not; and to the sky, an there was no light in it.
24 Видех горы, и трепетаху, и вси холми возмутишася.
I beheld the mountains, and they trembled, and [I saw] all the hills in commotion.
25 Воззрех, и се, не бе человека, и вся птицы небесныя ужасахуся.
I looked, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky were scared.
26 Видех, и се, Кармил пуст, и вси гради сожжени огнем от лица Господня, и от лица гнева ярости Его погибоша.
I saw, and, behold, Carmel was desert, and all the cities were burnt with fire at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of his fierce anger they were utterly destroyed.
27 Сия глаголет Господь: пуста будет вся земля, скончания же не сотворю.
Thus saith the Lord, The whole land shall be desolate; but I will not make a full end.
28 О сих да плачет земля, и да помрачится небо свыше: понеже глаголах, и не раскаюся: устремихся и не отвращуся от него.
For these things let the earth mourn, and let the sky be dark above: for I have spoken, and I will not repent; I have purposed, and I will not turn back from it.
29 От гласа яздящих и напряженна лука побеже всяка страна: внидоша в разселины и в дубравы сокрышася и на камение взыдоша: вси гради оставлени суть, не обитает в них человек.
The whole land has recoiled from the noise of the horseman and the bent bow; they have gone into the caves, and have hidden themselves in the groves, and have gone up upon the rocks: every city was abandoned, no man dwelt in them.
30 Ты же, запустелая, что сотвориши? Аще облечешися во багряницу и украсишися монисты златыми, аще намажеши стивием очи твои, всуе украшение твое: отринуша тя любовницы твои, души твоея ищут.
And what wilt thou do? Though thou clothe thyself with scarlet, and adorn thyself with golden ornaments; though thou adorn thine eyes with stibium, thy beauty [will be] in vain: thy lovers have rejected thee, they seek thy life.
31 Глас бо яко родящия слышах стенания твоего: аки первородящия глас дщере Сиони истает, и опустит руце свои: горе мне, яко изчезает душа моя над убиенными.
For I have heard thy groaning as the voice of a woman in travail, as of her that brings forth her first child; the voice of the daughter of Zion shall fail through weakness, and she shall lose the strength of her hands, [saying], Woe is me! for my soul faints because of the slain.
