< Jeremiah 14 >

1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the words of the drought.
И бысть слово Господне ко Иеремии о бездождии.
2 “Judea has mourned. And its gates have fallen and become hard to discern on the ground. And the outcry of Jerusalem has ascended.
Рыдала Иудеа, и врата ея разрушишася, и отемнишася на земли, и вопль Иерусалима взыде.
3 The greater ones have sent their lesser ones to the water. They went to draw water; they did not find water; they carried their vessels back empty. They were confounded and afflicted, and so they covered their heads.
И вельможи его послаша менших своих к воде: приидоша на кладязи и не обретоша воды, и отнесоша сосуды своя тщы: постыждени суть и посрамлени, и покрыша главы своя.
4 Because of the devastation of the earth, because rain did not fall upon the earth, the farmers were confounded; they covered their heads.
И дела земли оскудеша, яко не бяше дождя на землю: постыждени суть земледелцы, покрыша главы своя.
5 For even the doe has given birth in the field, and then left it behind. For there was no grass.
И еленицы на ниве родиша и оставиша, яко не бе травы.
6 And the wild donkeys stood upon the rocks; like dragons, they drew in the wind, but their eyes failed. For there was no grass.”
Онагри сташа на камениих, браша в себе ветр яко змиеве, оскудеша очи их, яко не бе травы.
7 “O Lord, if our iniquities have responded against us, let it be for the sake of your name. For our rebellions are many; we have sinned against you.
Беззакония наша противусташа нам: Господи, сотвори нам ради имене Твоего, яко мнози греси наши пред Тобою, Тебе согрешихом.
8 O Hope of Israel, its Savior in time of tribulation, why would you be like a sojourner in the land, and like a traveler turning aside for lodging?
Ожидание Израилево, Господи, Спасителю наш во время скорби! Вскую яко пришлец еси на земли и яко путник укланяющься во виталище?
9 Why would you be like a wandering man, like a strong man who is unable to save? But you, O Lord, are with us, and your name is invoked over us, so do not abandon us!”
Еда будеши якоже человек спяй, или аки муж не могий спасти? Ты же в нас еси, Господи, и имя Твое призвано бысть на нас, не забуди нас.
10 Thus says the Lord to this people, who have loved to move their feet, and who have not rested, but who have not pleased the Lord: “Now he will remember their iniquities, and now he will visit against their sins.”
Сия глаголет Господь людем сим: возлюбиша подвизати нозе свои и не упокоишася, и Бог не благопоспеши в них, ныне воспомянет беззакония их и посетит грехи их.
11 And the Lord said to me: “Do not choose to pray for this people for good.
И рече Господь ко мне: не молися о людех сих во благо:
12 When they will fast, I will not heed their petitions. And if they offer holocausts and victims, I will not accept them. For I will consume them by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence.”
егда поститися будут, не услышу прошения их, и аще принесут всесожжения и жертвы, не благоволю в них: яко мечем и гладом и мором Аз скончаю их.
13 And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! The prophets are saying to them: ‘You will not see the sword, and there will be no famine among you. Instead, he will give you true peace in this place.’”
И рекох: сый Господи Боже, се, пророцы их прорицают и глаголют: не узрите меча, и глад не будет вам, но истину и мир дам на земли и на месте сем.
14 And the Lord said to me: “The prophets prophesy falsely in my name. I did not send them, and I did not instruct them, and I have not spoken to them. They prophesy to you a lying vision, and a divination, and a fraud, and a seduction from their own heart.
И рече Господь ко мне: лживо пророцы прорицают во имя Мое, не послах их, ни заповедах им, ни глаголал есмь к ним: понеже видения лжива и гадания и волшебства и произволы сердца своего тии прорицают вам.
15 For this reason, thus says the Lord about the prophets who prophesy in my name, whom I have not sent, who say: ‘Sword and famine will not be in this land.’ By sword and famine those prophets will be consumed.
Сего ради сия глаголет Господь о пророцех, иже пророчествуют во имя Мое ложная, и Аз не послах их, иже глаголют: мечь и глад не будет на земли сей: смертию лютою умрут и гладом скончаются пророцы тии.
16 And the people, to whom they prophesy, will be cast into the streets of Jerusalem, due to famine and the sword, and there will be no one who may bury them, they and their wives, their sons and daughters, and I will pour out their own evil upon them.
И людие, имже тии пророчествуют, будут извержени на путех Иерусалима от лица меча и глада, и не будет погребаяй их, и жены их и сынове их и дщери их, и излию на них злая их.
17 And you shall speak this word to them: Let my eyes shed tears throughout the night and day, and let them not cease. For the virgin daughter of my people has been crushed by a great affliction, by a very grievous wound.”
И речеши к ним слово сие: да изведут очи ваши слезы день и нощь, и да не престанут, яко сотрением великим сотрена (дева) дщерь людий моих и язвою злою зело.
18 “If I go out into the fields: behold, those slain by the sword. And if I enter into the city: behold, those weakened by famine. Likewise, the prophet, too, and the priest, have gone into a land that they did not know.
Аще изыду на поле, и се, заклани мечем: и аще вниду во град, и се, истаявшии гладом: яко пророк и священник отидоша в землю, еяже не ведяху.
19 Could you have utterly cast out Judah? Or has your soul abhorred Zion? Then why have you struck us, so much so that there is no health for us? We have waited for peace, but there is nothing good, and for the time of healing, and behold, trouble.
Еда отмещущь отвергл еси Иуду, и от Сиона отступи душа Твоя? Вскую поразил еси нас, и несть нам изцеления? Ждахом мира, и не бяху благая: времене уврачевания, и се, боязнь.
20 O Lord, we acknowledge our impieties, the iniquities of our fathers, that we have sinned against you.
Познахом, Господи, грехи нашя, беззакония отец наших, яко согрешихом пред Тобою.
21 For the sake of your name, do not give us over into disgrace. And do not dishonor in us the throne of your glory. Remember, do not make void, your covenant with us.
Престани ради имене Твоего, не погуби престола славы Твоея: воспомяни, не разори завета Твоего иже с нами.
22 Could any of the graven images of the Gentiles send rain? Or are the heavens able to give showers? Have we not hoped in you, the Lord our God? For you have made all these things.”
Еда есть во изваянных языческих, иже дождит? Или небеса могут дати влагу свою? Не Ты ли еси, Господи Боже наш? И пождем Тебе, Господи, Ты бо сотворил еси вся сия.
