Книга пророка Иеремии 50
1 Слово, еже рече Господь на Вавилон и на землю Халдейскую Иеремиею пророком.
The word that the LORD spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
2 Возвестите во языцех и слышано сотворите, воздвигните знамение, возопийте и не скрывайте, рцыте: пленен бысть Вавилон, посрамися Вил, победися Меродах, посрамишася изваяния его, сокрушишася кумиры их.
“Declare amongst the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and don’t conceal; say, ‘Babylon has been taken, Bel is disappointed, Merodach is dismayed! Her images are disappointed. Her idols are dismayed.’
3 Яко прииде нань язык от севера, той положит землю его в запустение, и не будет живяй в ней от человека даже и до скота: подвигнушася, отидоша.
For a nation comes up out of the north against her, which will make her land desolate, and no one will dwell in it. They have fled. They are gone, both man and animal.
4 В тыя дни и в то время, глаголет Господь, приидут сынове Израилевы, тии и сынове Иудины вкупе ходяще и плачуще пойдут и Господа Бога своего взыщут.
“In those days, and in that time,” says the LORD, “the children of Israel will come, they and the children of Judah together; they will go on their way weeping, and will seek the LORD their God.
5 Во Сион испытают стези, тамо бо обративше лица своя приидут и приложатся ко Господу заветом вечным, иже забвению не предастся.
They will enquire concerning Zion with their faces turned towards it, saying, ‘Come, and join yourselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.’
6 Овцы погибшыя быша людие Мои, пастырие их совратиша их и сотвориша я крытися по горам: с горы на холм ходиша.
My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have caused them to go astray. They have turned them away on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting place.
7 Забыша ложа своего, вси обретающии их снедаху их, и врази их рекоша: не пощадим их, зане согрешиша Господу, пажить правды, собирающему отцев их Господу.
All who found them have devoured them. Their adversaries said, ‘We are not guilty, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of righteousness, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.’
8 Отидите от среды Вавилона и от земли Халдейски изыдите, и будите яко козлища пред овцами.
“Flee out of the middle of Babylon! Go out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the male goats before the flocks.
9 Яко се, Аз воздвигну и приведу на Вавилон собрания языков великих от земли полунощныя, и ополчатся нань: оттуду пленен будет, якоже стрела мужа сильна искусна и возвратится праздна.
For, behold, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they will set themselves in array against her. She will be taken from there. Their arrows will be as of an expert mighty man. None of them will return in vain.
10 И будет земля Халдейска в разграбление, вси грабителе ея наполнятся глаголет Господь:
Chaldea will be a prey. All who prey on her will be satisfied,” says the LORD.
11 зане веселистеся и велеречивасте, расхищающе наследие Мое, скакасте бо яко телцы на траве и бодосте якоже волы.
“Because you are glad, because you rejoice, O you who plunder my heritage, because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses,
12 Поругана бысть мати ваша зело, и посрамися родившая вас: се, последняя во языцех пуста и непроходна и суха.
your mother will be utterly disappointed. She who bore you will be confounded. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 От гнева Господня не поживут во век: но будет весь в запустение, и всяк ходяй сквозе Вавилон подивится и позвиждет над всякою язвою Его.
Because of the LORD’s wrath she won’t be inhabited, but she will be wholly desolate. Everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
14 Ополчитеся на Вавилон, вси окрестнии наляцающии лук, стреляйте нань, не щадите стрел ваших, понеже пред Господем согреши,
Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her. Spare no arrows, for she has sinned against the LORD.
15 возмите его: ослабеша руце его, падоша основания его, сокрушишася забрала его, яко месть Господня есть: отмстите ему, якоже сотвори, сотворите ему:
Shout against her all around. She has submitted herself. Her bulwarks have fallen. Her walls have been thrown down, for it is the vengeance of the LORD. Take vengeance on her. As she has done, do to her.
16 потребите семя от Вавилона, и держащаго серп во время жатвы от лица меча Еллинска, кийждо к людем своим обратится, и кийждо в землю свою убежит.
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest. For fear of the oppressing sword, they will each return to their own people, and they will each flee to their own land.
17 Овча заблуждающее Израиль, львове изнуриша е: первее яде его царь Ассур, сей же последний и кости оглода ему Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский.
“Israel is a hunted sheep. The lions have driven him away. First, the king of Assyria devoured him, and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.”
18 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь Вседержитель, Бог Израилев: се, Аз посещу на царя Вавилонска и на землю его, якоже посетих на царя Ассурска,
Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 и возведу паки Израиля на пажить его, и упасется в Кармиле и Васане, и в горе Ефремли и в Галааде, и насытится душа его.
I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he will feed on Carmel and Bashan. His soul will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
20 В тыя дни и в той час, глаголет Господь, поищут неправды Израилевы, и не будет, и грехов Иудиных, и не обрящутся: яко милостив буду им оставшымся.
In those days, and in that time,” says the LORD, “the iniquity of Israel will be sought for, and there will be none, also the sins of Judah, and they won’t be found; for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.
21 На землю владеющих взыди и на живущих в ней посети, разори и убий сущыя по них, глаголет Господь, и сотвори вся, елика заповедаю тебе.
“Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod. Kill and utterly destroy after them,” says the LORD, “and do according to all that I have commanded you.
22 Глас брани и сотрение велико в земли Халдейстей.
A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
23 Како сокрушися и сотреся млат всея земли? Како обратися в пустыню Вавилон во языцех?
How the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken! How Babylon has become a desolation amongst the nations!
24 Взыдут на тя, и пленен будеши, и не познаеши, яко Вавилон еси: обретен и ят еси, понеже разгневал еси Господа.
I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren’t aware. You are found, and also caught, because you have fought against the LORD.
25 Отверзе Господь сокровища Своя и изнесе сосуды гнева Своего, яко дело есть Господу Вседержителю в земли Халдейстей:
The LORD has opened his armoury, and has brought out the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, GOD of Armies, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 яко приидоша времена его: отверзите хранилища его и испытайте и, аки вертеп, и погубите его, да не будет останка его.
Come against her from the farthest border. Open her storehouses. Cast her up as heaps. Destroy her utterly. Let nothing of her be left.
27 Изсушите вся плоды его, и да снидут в заклание: горе им, яко прииде день их и час отмщения их.
Kill all her bulls. Let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has come, the time of their visitation.
28 Глас бежащих и избегших от земли Вавилонския, да возвестят в Сионе отмщение Господа Бога нашего, отмщение храма Его.
Listen to those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
29 Возвестите на Вавилон многим, всем наляцающым лук, ополчитеся нань окрест: да не убежит ни един из него: воздайте ему по делом его, по всему, елика сотвори, сотворите ему, яко воста на Господа Бога Святаго Израилева.
“Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp against her all around. Let none of it escape. Pay her back according to her work. According to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Сего ради падут юноши его на стогнах его, и вси мужие воинстии его низвержени будут в той день, глаголет Господь.
Therefore her young men will fall in her streets. All her men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says the LORD.
31 Се, Аз на тя, горде, глаголет Господь Бог Вседержитель, яко прииде день твой и час посещения твоего:
“Behold, I am against you, you proud one,” says the Lord, GOD of Armies; “for your day has come, the time that I will visit you.
32 и падет гордыня твоя и разрушится, и не будет возставляяй ю: и возжгу огнь в дубраве его, и пояст вся окрестная его.
The proud one will stumble and fall, and no one will raise him up. I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour all who are around him.”
33 Тако глаголет Господь Вседержитель: порабощение терпят сынове Израилевы и сынове Иудины, вкупе вси пленившии их поработиша их, не хощут бо отпустити их.
The LORD of Armies says: “The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together. All who took them captive hold them fast. They refuse to let them go.
34 Избавитель же их сильный, Господь Вседержитель имя Ему, судом судити имать супостаты своя, яко да избавит землю, и потрясет жительми Вавилонскими.
Their Redeemer is strong. The LORD of Armies is his name. He will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 Мечь на Халдеев, глаголет Господь, и на жители Вавилонския, и на князи и на мудрыя его,
“A sword is on the Chaldeans,” says the LORD, “and on the inhabitants of Babylon, on her princes, and on her wise men.
36 мечь на обаятели его, и буии будут, и мечь на сильныя его, и ослабеют:
A sword is on the boasters, and they will become fools. A sword is on her mighty men, and they will be dismayed.
37 мечь на кони его и на колесницы его, и на вся прочыя люди, иже суть посреде его, и будут яко жены: мечь на сокровища его, и расхитятся:
A sword is on their horses, on their chariots, and on all the mixed people who are in the middle of her; and they will become as women. A sword is on her treasures, and they will be robbed.
38 мечь на воды его, и постыдятся, яко земля изваянных есть, и во островех хваляхуся.
A drought is on her waters, and they will be dried up; for it is a land of engraved images, and they are mad over idols.
39 Сего ради поживут мечты во островех, и поживут в нем дщери сиринов, и не будет живуща в нем ктому во веки, ниже соградится от рода в род.
Therefore the wild animals of the desert with the wolves will dwell there. The ostriches will dwell therein. It will be inhabited no more forever, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation.
40 Якоже преврати Господь Содома и Гоморра и окрестныя грады их, глаголет Господь, не пребудет тамо муж, ниже поживет в нем сын человечь.
As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbour cities,” says the LORD, “so no man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.
41 Се, людие идут от севера, и язык велик, и царие мнози востанут от конец земли,
“Behold, a people comes from the north. A great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
42 луки и щиты имуще, грозни суть и немилостиви: глас их яко море возшумит, на кони возсядут, уготовани якоже огнь на брань противу тебе, дщи Вавилоня.
They take up bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea. They ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Babylon.
43 Услыша царь Вавилонский слух их, и ослабеша руце его, скорбь объят его и болезни, яко раждающую.
The king of Babylon has heard the news of them, and his hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of him, pains as of a woman in labour.
44 Се, яко лев изыдет от рыкания Иорданова на место Ефана, яко скоро отмщу их от него, и всякаго юношу над ним поставлю. Кто бо подобен Мне? И кто может стояти противу Мене? И кто есть пастырь сей, иже воспротивится лицу Моему?
Behold, the enemy will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it. Whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it, for who is like me? Who will appoint me a time? Who is the shepherd who can stand before me?”
45 Темже слышите совет Господень, егоже совеща на Вавилон, и умышления Его, яже умысли на землю Халдейску: аще не исторгнутся агнцы овец их, аще не будет разметана (вкупе с ними) пажить их.
Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely they will drag them away, even the little ones of the flock. Surely he will make their habitation desolate over them.
46 От гласа бо пленения Вавилонскаго потрясется земля, и вопль во языцех слышан будет.
The earth trembles at the noise of the taking of Babylon. The cry is heard amongst the nations.
