< Jeremiah 14 >

1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought.
И бысть слово Господне ко Иеремии о бездождии.
2 "Judah mourns, and its gates languish, they sit in black on the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Рыдала Иудеа, и врата ея разрушишася, и отемнишася на земли, и вопль Иерусалима взыде.
3 Their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are disappointed and confounded, and cover 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 ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the land, the plowmen are disappointed, they cover their heads.
И дела земли оскудеша, яко не бяше дождя на землю: постыждени суть земледелцы, покрыша главы своя.
5 Yes, the hind also in the field calves, and forsakes her young, because there is no grass.
И еленицы на ниве родиша и оставиша, яко не бе травы.
6 The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage."
Онагри сташа на камениих, браша в себе ветр яко змиеве, оскудеша очи их, яко не бе травы.
7 "Though our iniquities testify against us, work for your name's sake, LORD; for our backslidings 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 Hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?
Ожидание Израилево, Господи, Спасителю наш во время скорби! Вскую яко пришлец еси на земли и яко путник укланяющься во виталище?
9 Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can't save? Yet you, LORD, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name; do not leave 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, "Even so have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore the LORD does not accept them; now he will remember their iniquity, and visit 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 The LORD said to me, "Do not pray for this people for their good.
И рече Господь ко мне: не молися о людех сих во благо:
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the 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 Then I said, "Ah, LORD. Look, the prophets tell them, 'You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you assured 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 Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I did not send them, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke I to them: they prophesy to you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of 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 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, and I did not send them, yet they say, 'Sword and famine shall not be in this land:' 'By sword and famine shall those prophets 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 The people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them—them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness on 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 "You shall say this word to them, 'Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with 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 forth into the field, then, look, the slain with the sword. And if I enter into the city, then, look, those who are sick with famine. For both the prophet and the cohen go about in the land, and have no knowledge.'"
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 "Have you utterly rejected Judah? Has your soul loathed Zion? Why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and look, dismay.
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 We acknowledge, LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
Познахом, Господи, грехи нашя, беззакония отец наших, яко согрешихом пред Тобою.
21 Do not abhor us, for your name's sake; do not disgrace the throne of your glory: remember, do not break your covenant with us.
Престани ради имене Твоего, не погуби престола славы Твоея: воспомяни, не разори завета Твоего иже с нами.
22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren't you he, LORD our God? Therefore we will wait for you; 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.
