Книга пророка Иеремии 7
1 Слово, еже бысть ко Иеремии от Господа, глаголющее:
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 стани во вратех дому Господня и проповеждь тамо слово то и глаголи: слышите слово Господне, вся Иудеа, ходящии сквозе врата сия, да поклонитеся Господу:
Take your place in the doorway of the Lord's house, and give out this word there, and say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who come inside these doors to give worship to the Lord.
3 сия глаголет Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: исправити пути вашя и начинания ваша, и вселю вы на месте сем.
The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, says, Let your ways and your doings be changed for the better and I will let you go on living in this place.
4 Не надейтеся на себе во словесех лживых, понеже весьма не упользуют вас, глаголюще: храм Господень, храм Господень, храм Господень есть.
Put no faith in false words, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, are these.
5 Яко аще исправляюще исправите пути ваша и умышления ваша, и творяще сотворите суд посреде мужа и посреде искренняго его,
For if your ways and your doings are truly changed for the better; if you truly give right decisions between a man and his neighbour;
6 и пришелцу и сиру и вдовице не сотворите насилия, и крове неповинныя не излиете на месте сем, и вслед богов чуждих не пойдете на зло вам,
If you are not cruel to the man from a strange country, and to the child without a father, and to the widow, and do not put the upright to death in this place, or go after other gods, causing damage to yourselves:
7 вселю вас на месте сем, в земли, юже дах отцем вашым от века даже и до века.
Then I will let you go on living in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers in the past and for ever.
8 Аще же вы надеетеся на словеса лживая, отюнудуже не будет вам пользы,
See, you put your faith in false words which are of no profit.
9 и крадете и убиваете, и блудствуете и кленетеся лживо, и жрете Ваалу и ходите вслед богов чуждих, ихже не весте, яко во зло вам суть,
Will you take the goods of others, put men to death, and be untrue to your wives, and take false oaths, and have perfumes burned to the Baal, and go after other gods which are strange to you;
10 и приидосте и стасте предо Мною в дому сем, в немже призвано есть имя Мое, и рекли есте: удалихомся, еже не творити вся мерзости сия:
And come and take your place before me in this house, which is named by my name, and say, We have been made safe; so that you may do all these disgusting things?
11 еда вертеп разбойником есть дом Мой, в немже призвася имя Мое тамо во очию вашею? И се, Аз видех, глаголет Господь.
Has this house, which is named by my name, become a hole of thieves to you? Truly I, even I, have seen it, says the Lord.
12 Сего ради идите к месту Моему, еже в Силоме, идеже вселих имя Мое от начала, и видите, что сотворих ему лукавств ради людий Моих Израиля.
But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I put my name at first, and see what I did to it because of the evil-doing of my people Israel.
13 И ныне, понеже сотвористе вся дела сия, рече Господь, и глаголах к вам рано востающь и глаголющь, и не услышасте Мене, и звах вас, и не отвещасте:
And now, because you have done all these works, says the Lord, and I sent my word to you, getting up early and sending, but you did not give ear; and my voice came to you, but you gave no answer:
14 убо и Аз сотворю дому сему, в немже призвано есть имя Мое, на негоже вы уповасте, и месту, еже дах вам и отцем вашым, якоже сотворих Силому.
For this reason I will do to the house which is named by my name, and in which you have put your faith, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
15 И отвергу вас от лица Моего, якоже отвергох всю братию вашу, все семя Ефремово.
And I will send you away from before my face, as I have sent away all your brothers, even all the seed of Ephraim.
16 Ты же не молися о людех сих и не проси еже помилованым быти им, и не моли, ниже приступай ко Мне о них, яко не услышу тя.
And as for you (Jeremiah), make no prayers for this people, send up no cry or prayer for them, make no request for them to me: for I will not give ear.
17 Еда не видиши, что сии творят во градех Иудиных и на путех Иерусалимских?
Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Сынове их собирают дрова, и отцы их зажигают огнь, и жены их месят муку, да сотворят опресноки воинству небесному, и возлияша возлияния богом чуждим, да прогневают Мя.
The children go for wood, the fathers get the fire burning, the women are working the paste to make cakes for the queen of heaven, and drink offerings are drained out to other gods, moving me to wrath.
19 Мене ли тии прогневляют? Глаголет Господь: еда не себе самих? Да постыдятся лица их.
Are they moving me to wrath? says the Lord; are they not moving themselves to their shame?
20 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь: се, гнев и ярость Моя лиется на место сие и на люди, и на скоты и на всяко древо страны их и на плоды земныя, и возжжется и не угаснет.
So this is what the Lord God has said: See, my wrath and my passion will be let loose on this place, on man and beast, and on the trees of the field, and on the produce of the earth; it will be burning and will not be put out.
21 Сия глаголет Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: всесожжения ваша соберите со жертвами вашими и изядите мяса:
These are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: Put your burned offerings with your offerings of beasts, and take flesh for your food.
22 яко не глаголах ко отцем вашым и не заповедах им в день, в оньже изведох их от земли Египетския, о всесожжениих и жертвах,
For I said nothing to your fathers, and gave them no orders, on the day when I took them out of Egypt, about burned offerings or offerings of beasts:
23 но (токмо) слово сие заповедах им, рекий: услышите глас Мой, и буду вам в Бога, и вы будете Мне в люди, и ходите во всех путех Моих, в нихже повелех вам, да благо будет вам.
But this was the order I gave them, saying, Give ear to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people: go in all the way ordered by me, so that all may be well for you.
24 И не услышаша Мене, и не внят ухо их: но поидоша в похотех и стропотстве сердца своего лукаваго, и сотворишася на задняя, а не на предняя,
But they took no note and did not give ear, but were guided by the thoughts and the pride of their evil hearts, going back and not forward.
25 от дне, в оньже изыдоша отцы их от земли Египетския, и даже до дне сего: и послах к вам вся рабы Моя пророки, в день и рано востая и посылая:
From the day when your fathers came out of Egypt till this day, I have sent my servants the prophets to you, getting up early every day and sending them:
26 и не услышаша Мя, ни приклониша ухо свое, но ожесточиша выю свою паче отец своих.
But still they took no note and would not give ear, but they made their necks stiff, doing worse than their fathers.
27 И речеши к ним вся словеса сия, и не услышат тя, и воззовеши их, и не отвещают тебе.
And you are to say all these words to them, but they will not give ear to you: you will send out your voice to them, but they will give no answer.
28 И речеши к ним: сей язык, иже не послуша гласа Господа Бога своего, ни восприят наказания: погибе вера и отята есть от уст их.
And you are to say to them, This is the nation which has not given ear to the voice of their God, or taken his teaching to heart: good faith is dead and is cut off from their mouths.
29 Остризи главу твою и отметни, и восприими во устне рыдание, яко отверже Господь и отрину род творяй сия.
Let your hair be cut off, O Jerusalem, and let it go, and let a song of grief go up on the open hilltops; for the Lord is turned away from the generation of his wrath and has given them up.
30 Понеже сотвориша сынове Иудины лукавое во очию Моею, рече Господь: поставиша мерзости своя в дому, в немже призвано есть имя Мое, да осквернят его,
For the children of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes, says the Lord: they have put their disgusting images in the house which is named by my name, making it unclean.
31 и создаша требище Тафефу, еже есть во юдоли сына Енномля, да сожигают сыны своя и дщери своя огнем, егоже не повелех им, ниже помыслих в сердцы Моем:
And they have put up the high place of Topheth in the valley of the son of Hinnom, burning their sons and their daughters there in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me and never came into my mind.
32 сего ради се, дние грядут, глаголет Господь, и не рекут ктому: требище Тафефово и юдоль сына Енномля, но юдоль закланых: и погребутся во Тафефе, занеже несть места.
For this cause, the days are coming, says the Lord, when it will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death: for they will put the dead into the earth in Topheth till there is no more room.
33 И будут трупие людий сих во снедь птицам небесным и зверем земным, и не будет отгоняющаго.
And the bodies of this people will be food for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth; and there will be no one to send them away.
34 И упраздню от градов Иудиных и от путий Иерусалимлих глас радующихся и глас веселящихся, глас жениха и глас невесты, во опустении бо будет вся земля.
And in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, I will put an end to the laughing voices, the voice of joy and the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride: for the land will become a waste.
