Книга пророка Иеремии 17
1 Грех Иудин написан есть писалом железным на ногти адамантове, начертан на скрижали сердца их и на розех олтарей их.
The sin of Judah is inscribed with an iron stylus, engraved with an adamant point, on their minds and on corners of their altars where they worship.
2 Егда воспомянут сынове их олтари своя и дубравы своя при древе лиственне и на холмех высоких,
Even their children remember to worship at their pagan altars and Asherah poles, set up by the green trees and on the high hills,
3 о, нагорный (жителю)! Крепость твою и сокровища твоя в расхищение дам, и высокая твоя, грех ради твоих, яже во всех пределех твоих,
on my mountain in the fields. I will hand over your wealth and all your valuable possessions as plunder, because of the sin committed on your pagan high places inside your country.
4 и останешися един от наследия твоего, еже дах тебе: и служити тя сотворю врагом твоим в земли, еяже не веси: яко огнь разжегл еси в ярости Моей, даже во век горети будет. Сия глаголет Господь:
You will have to give up the land I gave you. I will have your enemies make you their slaves in an unfamiliar country for you made my anger blaze, and it will burn forever.
5 проклят человек, иже надеется на человека и утвердит плоть мышцы своея на нем, и от Господа отступит сердце его:
This is what the Lord says: Cursed are those who put their confidence in human beings, who trust in human strength and give up relying on the Lord.
6 и будет яко дивия мирика в пустыни и не узрит, егда приидут благая, и обитати будет в сухоте и в пустыни, в земли сланей и необитаемей.
They will be like a shrub alone in the desert that isn't even aware when good things happen. It just goes on living in the dry desert, in a salt flat that's uninhabited.
7 И благословен человек, иже надеется на Господа, и будет Господь упование его:
Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, who put their confidence in him.
8 и будет яко древо насажденное при водах, и во влаге пустит корение свое: не убоится, егда приидет зной, и будет на нем стеблие зелено, и во время бездождия не устрашится и не престанет творити плода.
They are like trees planted by water, sending out roots toward the stream. They don't panic when it gets hot; their leaves are always green. They don't worry during a time of drought—they go on producing fruit.
9 Глубоко сердце (человеку) паче всех, и человек есть, и кто познает его?
The mind is more deceptive than anything else—it's incurably sick! Who can possibly understand it?
10 Аз Господь испытуяй сердца и искушаяй утробы, еже воздати комуждо по пути его и по плодом изобретений его.
But I, the Lord, see what people are thinking. I examine their minds, so I can reward them depending on their attitudes and the way they behave.
11 Возгласи ряб, собра, ихже не роди, творяй богатство свое не с судом: в преполовении дний своих оставит е и на последок свой будет безумен.
Like a partridge hatching eggs it didn't lay is someone who makes a fortune by cheating others. Their riches will fly away at midday, and in the end they'll look like a fool.
12 Престол славы возвышен от начала, место святыни нашея.
Our Temple is a throne of glory, raised up high from the beginning.
13 Чаяние Израилево, Господи! Вси оставляющии Тя да постыдятся, отступающии (от Тебе) на земли да напишутся, яко оставиша источник живых вод, Господа.
Lord, you are Israel's hope, anyone who deserts you will be disgraced. Anyone who turns their back on you will vanish like names written in the dust, for they have abandoned the Lord, the source of living water.
14 Изцели мя, Господи, и изцелею: спаси мя, и спасен буду, яко хвала моя Ты еси.
Please heal me, Lord, and I'll be healed; save me, and I'll be saved, for you are the one I praise.
15 Се, тии глаголют ко мне: где есть слово Господне? Да приидет.
See how they keep on saying to me, “Where is the disaster that the Lord's predicted? Is it ever going to happen?”
16 Аз же не утрудихся, Тебе (пастырю) последуяй, и дне человеча не пожелах: Ты веси исходящая от устен моих, пред лицем Твоим суть:
But I haven't been in a hurry to give up being your shepherd. I haven't wanted the time of trouble to come. You know that whatever I said was said in front of you.
17 не буди ми во отчуждение, упование мое Ты в день лют.
Please don't be the one who terrifies me! You are my protection in the time of trouble.
18 Да постыдятся гонящии мя, аз же да не постыждуся: да устрашатся тии, аз же да не устрашуся: наведи на них день озлобления, сугубым сокрушением сотри их.
Bring shame on my persecutors, but not on me. Terrify them, but not me, Let them experience the time of trouble, and smash them to pieces.
19 Сия глаголет Господь ко мне: иди и стани во вратех сынов людий твоих, имиже входят царие Иудины и исходят, и во всех вратех Иерусалимских и речеши к ним:
This is what the Lord told me: Go and stand at the main gate of the city, the one used by kings of Judah, and do the same at all the other gates of Jerusalem.
20 слышите слово Господне, царие Иудины и вся Иудеа и весь Иерусалим, входящии во врата сия.
Tell them, Listen to the Lord's message, kings of Judah, and all you people of Judah and Jerusalem who come in through these gates.
21 Сия глаголет Господь: сохраните душы вашя и не носите бремен в день суббот, и не исходите враты Иерусалима,
This is what the Lord says: Pay attention, if you value your lives! Don't carry a load on the Sabbath day, and don't bring it through the gates of Jerusalem.
22 и не износите бремен из домов ваших в день субботный, и всякаго дела не творите: освятите день субботный, якоже заповедах отцем вашым:
Don't carry a load out of your houses, and don't do any work on the Sabbath day. Keep the Sabbath day holy, just as I ordered your forefathers.
23 и не услышаша, ни приклониша уха своего, но ожесточиша выи своя паче отец своих, да не услышат мя и да не приимут наказания.
However, they refused to listen or pay attention. Instead they were stubborn and refused to obey or accept instruction.
24 И будет, аще послушаете Мене, глаголет Господь, еже не вносити бремен во врата града сего в день субботный, и святити день субботный, не творити в онь всякаго дела,
Listen carefully to me, says the Lord, and don't bring any load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and keep the Sabbath day holy, and don't do any work on it.
25 и внидут во врата града сего царие и началницы, седящии на престоле Давидове и восходящии на колесницах и конех своих, тии и началницы их, мужие Иудины и обитателие Иерусалима: и обитати будут во граде сем во веки:
Then kings and princes will enter through the gates of this city. They will sit on the throne of David. They will ride in chariots and on horses with their officials, accompanied by the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.
26 и приидут от градов Иудиных и от окрестных Иерусалима, и от земли Вениамини и от польных, и от горних и от юга, носяще всесожжения и жертву, и фимиам и манау и ливан, носяще хвалу в дом Господень.
People will come from the towns of Judah and everywhere around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowlands the hill country, and the Negev. They will bring burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and thank offerings to the Lord's Temple.
27 И будет, аще не послушаете Мене еже святити день субботный и не носити бремен, ниже входити вратами Иерусалима в день субботный, то зажгу огнь во вратех его, и пожрет домы Иерусалимли и не угаснет.
But if you refuse to listen to me and keep the Sabbath day holy by not carrying a load while entering the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will set its gates alight with a fire that can't be put out, and it will burn down Jerusalem's fortresses.
