Jeremiah 29
1 And these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah, the prophet, sent from Jerusalem to the remnant of the elders of the transmigration, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had led away from Jerusalem to Babylon,
И сия словеса книги, юже посла Иеремиа из Иерусалима ко старейшинам преселеным и ко жерцем и лживым пророком и всем людем, ихже пресели Навуходоносор из Иерусалима до Вавилона,
2 after king Jeconiah, with the queen, and the eunuchs, and the leaders of Judah and of Jerusalem, and the craftsmen and engravers, had departed from Jerusalem.
последи изшедшу Иехонии царю и царице, и кажеником и всякому свободну, и художнику и юзнику из Иерусалима,
3 It was sent by the hand of Elasah, the son of Shaphan, and by Gemariah, the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah, the king of Judah, sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, saying:
рукою Елеаса сына Сафаня и Гамариа сына Хелкиина, егоже посла Седекиа царь Иудин ко царю Вавилонску в Вавилон, глаголя:
4 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all who have been taken away, whom I have caused to be transferred from Jerusalem to Babylon:
тако рече Господь Бог Израилев о преселеных, ихже пресели из Иерусалима в Вавилон:
5 Build houses and live in them. And plant gardens, and eat from their fruit.
соградите храмины и вселитеся, и насадите вертограды и ядите плоды их,
6 Take wives, and conceive sons and daughters. And give wives to your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and let them bear sons and daughters. And be multiplied there, and do not choose to be few in number.
и поимите жены и чадотворите сыны и дщери, и приведите сыном вашым жены и дщери вашя дадите за мужы, и да раждают сыны и дщери, и умножайтеся, а не умаляйтеся:
7 And seek the peace of the city, to which I have caused you to be taken away, and pray to the Lord on its behalf. For your peace will be in its peace.
и взыщите мира земли, на нюже преселих вас тамо, и молите Господа за ня, яко в мире их будет мир вам.
8 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not allow your prophets and your diviners, who are in your midst, to seduce you. And you should pay no attention to your dreams, which you are dreaming.
Яко тако рече Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: да не препирают вас лживии пророцы, иже в вас, и да не препирают вас волсви ваши, и не послушайте соний своих, яже вы видите во сне,
9 For they prophesy falsely to you in my name, and I have not sent them, says the Lord.
яко неправедне тии прорицают вам во имя Мое, а не послах их, рече Господь.
10 For thus says the Lord: When the seventy years will begin to be completed in Babylon, I will visit you. And I will raise up over you my good word, so that I may lead you back to this place.
Яко тако рече Господь: егда исполнятся в Вавилоне седмьдесят лет, посещу вас и уставлю словеса Моя на вас, еже возвратити люди Моя на место сие:
11 For I know the thoughts that I think over you, says the Lord: thoughts of peace and not of affliction, so that I may give you patience and an end.
и помышлю на вы помышление мира, а не злая, еже дати вам сия:
12 And you shall call upon me, and you shall go forth. And you shall pray to me, and I will heed you.
и помолитеся ко Мне, и послушаю вас,
13 You shall seek me. And you will find me, when you have sought me with your whole heart.
и взыщете Мене, и обрящете Мя: и егда взыщете Мене всем сердцем вашим,
14 And I will be found by you, says the Lord. And I will lead you back from your captivity. And I will gather you from all the nations and all the places, to which I have expelled you, says the Lord. And I will return you from the place to which I sent you into captivity.
и явлюся вам, глаголет Господь, и возвращу узники вашя и соберу вас от всех стран и от всех градов, в няже изгнах вас, глаголет Господь: и возвратитися повелю вам на место откуду превести вас повелех.
15 For you have said: ‘The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon.’
Понеже рекосте: возстави нам Господь пророки в Вавилоне.
16 For thus says the Lord, to the king who sits upon the throne of David, and to all the people who live in this city, to your brothers who have not departed with you in the transmigration:
Тако бо рече Господь ко царю седящу на престоле Давидове и ко всем людем живущым во граде том, и братиям вашым, не изшедшым с вами в плен,
17 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will send among them the sword, and famine, and pestilence. And I will make them like the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, because they are very bad.
тако глаголет Господь Вседержитель: се, Аз послю на ня мечь и глад и мор, и положу я яко смоквы худыя, ихже немощно ясти, понеже зело худы быша:
18 And I will pursue them with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence. And I will give them over to affliction, amid all the kingdoms of the earth: as a curse, and in stupor, and with hissing, and as a disgrace among all the nations to which I have driven them out.
и сотру я мечем и гладом и мором, и дам я в погубление всем царствам земным и в проклятие, и во удивление и в посмех и в поругание всем языком, к нимже извергох я:
19 For they have not listened to my words, says the Lord, which I sent to them through my servants, the prophets, rising while it was still night, and sending. But you have not listened, says the Lord.
занеже не послушаша словес Моих, глаголет Господь, яже послах к ним рабы Моими пророки, рано востая и посылая, и не послушасте, глаголет Господь.
20 Therefore, listen to the word of the Lord, all you of the transmigration, whom I have sent away from Jerusalem into Babylon.
Вы убо слышите слово Господне, все преселение, еже выслах из Иерусалима в Вавилон.
21 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and to Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy falsely to you in my name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and he will strike them down before your eyes.
Тако глаголет Господь Вседержитель Бог Израилев на Ахиава сына Колиева и на Седекию сына Маасиева, иже прорицают вам во имя Мое лживо: се, Аз предаю я в руце Навуходоносора царя Вавилонска, и побиет я пред очима вашима:
22 And a curse will be taken up about them, by all the captives of Judah that are in Babylon, saying: ‘May the Lord make you like Zedekiah, and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire!’
и возмется от них проклятие всему преселению Иудину, еже в Вавилоне, глаголюще: да сотворит ти Господь якоже Седекии сотвори и якоже Ахиаву, ихже сожже царь Вавилонский во огни,
23 For they have acted foolishly in Israel, and they have committed adultery with the wives of their friends, and they have spoken lying words in my name, which I did not command them. I am the Judge and the Witness, says the Lord.
беззакония ради, еже сотвориша во Иерусалиме, и любодеяху с женами граждан своих и слово глаголаша во имя Мое лживо, егоже не повелех им, Аз же есмь судия и послух, глаголет Господь.
24 And to Shemaiah of Nehelam, you shall say:
И к Самеи Еламитину речеши:
25 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Similarly, you have sent letters in your name to all the people that are in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying:
тако глаголет Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев: понеже послал еси во имя твое послания ко всем людем, иже во Иерусалиме, и ко Софонии сыну Маасеову жерцу и ко всем жерцем, глаголя:
26 ‘The Lord has made you priest in place of Jehoiada, the priest, so that you would be the ruler in the house of the Lord over every man who raves and prophesies, to send him to the stocks and to prison.
Господь даде тя жерца вместо Иодаа жерца, быти приставнику в дому Господни, всякому человеку прорицающу и всякому человеку неистовующу, и вдаси его в затвор и в кладу.
27 And now why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who prophesies to you?
И ныне почто не запретисте Иеремии, иже от Анафофа, прорицающему вам?
28 For about this, he has sent to us in Babylon, saying: It is a long time. Build houses and live in them. And plant gardens, and eat from their fruits.’”
Яко того ради посла к нам в Вавилон, глаголя: долгое есть время, соградите храмины и вселитеся, и насадите вертограды и ядите плоды их.
29 Thus, Zephaniah, the priest, read this letter, in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
И прочте книгу сию Софониа во ушы Иеремии пророка.
30 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
И бысть слово Господне ко Иеремии глаголя:
31 “Send to all those of the transmigration, saying: Thus says the Lord to Shemaiah of Nehelam: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, though I did not send him, and because he has caused you to trust in a lie:
посли ко преселником глаголя: тако рече Господь на Самею Еламитина: понеже прорече вам Самеа, Аз же не послах его, и сотвори вас уповати на неправду:
32 For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will visit upon Shemaiah of Nehelam, and upon his offspring. There will not be, for him, even one man sitting in the midst of this people. And he will not see the good that I will accomplish for my people, says the Lord. For he has spoken a betrayal against the Lord.”
того ради сице рече Господь: се, Аз посещу на Самею и на род его, и не будет ему человека посреде вас, еже видети благая, яже Аз сотворю вам, глаголет Господь, зане отступление глагола на Господа.
