1
|
|
The Word of the Lord which He spoke against Babylon.
|
На початку царювання Іоакима (Седекії*), сина Іосії, царя Юдейського, було слово це до Єремії від Господа:
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
Proclaim ye among the Gentiles, and cause the tidings to be heard, and suppress them not: say ye, Babylon is taken, Belus is confounded; the fearless, the luxurious Mærodach is delivered up.
|
так сказав мені Господь: зроби собі пута і ярмо і поклади їх собі на шию;
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
For a nation has come up against her from the north, he shall utterly ravage her land, and there shall be none to dwell in it, neither man nor beast.
|
і пошли такі самі до царя Ідумейського, і до царя Моавитського, і до царя синів Аммонових, і до царя Тира, і до царя Сидона, через послів, які прийшли в Єрусалим до Седекії, царя Юдейського;
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
In those days, and at that time, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Juda together; they shall proceed, weeping as they go, seeking the Lord their God.
|
і накажи їм сказати государям їх: так говорить Господь Саваоф, Бог Ізраїлів: так скажіть государям вашим:
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
They shall ask the way till they come to Sion, for that way shall they set their face; and they shall come and flee for refuge to the Lord their God; for the everlasting covenant shall not be forgotten.
|
Я створив землю, людину і тварин, які на лиці землі, великою могутністю Моєю і простягнутою правицею Моєю, і віддав її, кому Мені благоугодно було.
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds thrust them out, they caused them to wander on the mountains: they went from mountain to hill, they forgot their resting-place.
|
І нині Я віддаю усі землі ці у руки Навуходоносора, царя Вавилонського, раба Мого, і навіть звірів польових віддаю йому на служіння.
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
All that found them consumed them: their enemies said, Let us not leave them alone, because they have sinned against the Lord: he that gathered their fathers had a pasture of righteousness.
|
І всі народи будуть служити йому і синові його і синові сина його, доки не прийде час і його землі і йому самому; і будуть служити йому багато народів і царі великі.
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
Flee ye out of the midst of Babylon, and from the land of the Chaldeans, and go forth, and be as serpents before sleep.
|
І якщо який народ і царство не захоче служити йому, Навуходоносору, царю Вавилонському, і не схилить шиї своєї під ярмо царя Вавилонського, — цей народ Я покараю мечем, голодом і моровицею, — говорить Господь, — доки не знищу їх рукою його.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
For, behold, I stir up against Babylon the gatherings of nations out of the land of the north; and they shall set themselves in array against her: thence shall she be taken, as the dart of an expert warrior shall not return empty.
|
І ви не слухайте своїх пророків і своїх віщунів, і своїх сновидців, і своїх чаклунів, і своїх волхвів, які говорять вам: «не будете служити цареві Вавилонському».
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied.
|
Бо вони пророкують вам неправду, щоб виселити вас із землі вашої, і щоб Я вигнав вас і ви загинули.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
Because ye rejoiced, and boasted, while plundering mine heritage; because ye exulted as calves in the grass, and pushed with the horn as bulls.
|
Народ же, який схилить шию свою під ярмо царя Вавилонського і стане служити йому, Я залишу на землі своїй, — говорить Господь, — і він буде обробляти її і жити на ній.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
Your mother is greatly ashamed; your mother that bore you for prosperity is confounded: she is the last of the nations, desolate,
|
І Седекії, царю Юдейському, я говорив усі ці слова і сказав: схиліть шию свою під ярмо царя Вавилонського і служіть йому і народу його, і будете живі.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
by reason of the Lord's anger: it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be all a desolation; and every one that passes through Babylon shall scowl, and they shall hiss at all her plague.
|
Навіщо помирати тобі і народу твоєму від меча, голоду і моровиці, як прорік Господь про той народ, який не буде служити цареві Вавилонському?
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all ye that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare not your arrows,
|
І не слухайте слів пророків, які говорять вам: «не будете служити цареві Вавилонському»; бо вони пророкують вам неправду.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
and prevail against her: her hands are weakened, her bulwarks are fallen, and her wall is broken down: for it is vengeance from God: take vengeance upon her; as she has done, do to her.
|
Я не посилав їх, — говорить Господь; і вони неправдиво пророкують ім’ям Моїм, щоб Я вигнав вас і щоб ви загинули, — ви і пророки ваші, які пророкують вам.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
Utterly destroy seed out of Babylon, and him that holds a sickle in time of harvest: for fear of the Grecian sword, they shall return every one to his people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
|
І священикам і всьому народові цьому я говорив: так говорить Господь: не слухайте слів пророків ваших, які пророкують вам і говорять: «ось, скоро повернуті будуть із Вавилона сосуди дому Господнього»; бо вони пророкують вам неправду.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
Israel is a wandering sheep; the lions have driven him out: the king of Assyria first devoured him, and afterward this king of Babylon has gnawed his bones.
|
Не слухайте їх, служіть цареві Вавилонському і живіть; навіщо доводити місто це до спустошення?
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will take vengeance on the king of Babylon, and upon his land, as I took vengeance on the king of Assyria.
|
А якщо вони пророки, і якщо у них є слово Господнє, то нехай благають Господа Саваофа, щоб сосуди, які залишаються у домі Господньому й у домі царя Юдейського і у Єрусалимі, не перейшли у Вавилон.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
And I will restore Israel to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and on mount Ephraim and in Galaad, and his soul shall be satisfied.
|
Бо так говорить Господь Саваоф про стовпи і про мідне море і про підніжжя і про інші речі, які залишилися у цьому місті,
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
In those days, and at that time, they shall seek for the iniquity of Israel, and there shall be none; and for the sins of Juda, and they shall not be found: for I will be merciful to them that are left
|
яких Навуходоносор, цар Вавилонський, не взяв, коли Ієхонію, сина Іоакима, царя Юдейського, й усіх знатних юдеїв і єрусалимлян вивів з Єрусалима у Вавилон,
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
on the land, saith the Lord. Go up against it roughly, and against them that dwell on it: avenge, O sword, and destroy utterly, saith the Lord, and do according to all that I command thee.
|
бо так говорить Господь Саваоф, Бог Ізраїлів, про сосуди, які залишилися в домі Господньому й у домі царя Юдейського і в Єрусалимі:
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
A sound of war, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans!
|
вони будуть віднесені у Вавилон і там залишаться до того дня, коли Я відвідаю їх, — говорить Господь, — і виведу їх і поверну їх на місце це.
|
|
23
|
|
|
How is the hammer of the whole earth broken and crushed! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
|
|
|
24
|
|
|
They shall come upon thee, and thou shalt not know it, Babylon, that thou wilt even be taken captive: thou art found and taken, because thou didst resist the Lord.
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
The Lord has opened his treasury, and brought forth the weapons of his anger: for the Lord God has a work in the land of the Chaldeans.
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
For her times are come: open ye her storehouses: search her as a cave, and utterly destroy her: let there be no remnant of her.
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
Dry ye up all her fruits, and let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, and the time of their retribution.
|
|
|
28
|
|
|
A voice of men fleeing and escaping from the land of Babylon, to declare to Sion the vengeance that comes from the Lord our God.
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
Summon many against Babylon, even every one that bends the bow: camp against her round about; let no one of her people escape: render to her according to her works; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has resisted the Lord, the Holy God of Israel.
|
|
|
30
|
|
|
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her warriors shall be cast down, saith the Lord.
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
Behold, I am against thee the haughty one, saith the Lord: for thy day is come, and the time of thy retribution.
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
And thy pride shall fail, and fall, and there shall be no one to set it up again: and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all things round about her.
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
Thus saith the Lord; The children of Israel and the children of Juda have been oppressed: all they that have taken them captive have oppressed them together; for they would not let them go.
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
But their Redeemer is strong; the Lord Almighty is his name: he will enter into judgment with his adversaries, that he may destroy the earth;
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
and he will sharpen a sword against the Chaldeans, and against the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her nobles and upon her wise men;
|
|
|
36
|
|
|
a sword upon her warriors, and they shall be weakened: a sword upon their horses, and upon their chariots:
|
|
|
37
|
|
|
a sword upon their warriors, and upon the mixed people in the midst of her; and they shall be as women: a sword upon the treasures, and they shall be scattered upon her water,
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
and they shall be ashamed: for it is a land of graven images; and in the islands, where they boasted.
|
|
|
39
|
|
|
Therefore shall idols dwell in the islands, and the young of monsters shall dwell in it: it shall not be inhabited any more for ever.
|
|
|
40
|
|
|
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities bordering upon them, saith the Lord: no man shall dwell there, and no son of man shall sojourn there.
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
Behold, a people comes from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be stirred up from the end of the earth; holding bow and dagger:
|
|
|
42
|
|
|
the people is fierce, and will have no mercy: their voices shall sound as the sea, they shall ride upon horses, prepared for war, like fire, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
The king of Babylon heard the sound of them, and his hands were enfeebled: anguish overcame him, pangs as of a woman in travail.
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
Behold, he shall come up as a lion from Jordan to Gæthan; for I will speedily drive them from her, and I will set all the youths against her: for who is like me? and who will resist me? and who is this shepherd who will stand before me?
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he has taken against Babylon; and his devices, which he has devised upon the Chaldeans inhabiting it: surely lambs of their flock shall be destroyed: surely pasture shall be cut off from them.
|
|
|
46
|
|
|
For at the sound of the taking of Babylon the earth shall quake, and a cry shall be heard among the nations.
|
