1 И҆ бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇не ко мнѣ̀ глаго́лющее: и҆дѝ и҆ вопі́й во ᲂу҆́шы і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мꙋ, рекі́й: сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь:
1 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
2 помѧнꙋ́хъ ми́лость ю҆́ности твоеѧ̀ и҆ любо́вь соверше́нства твоегѡ̀, є҆гда̀ послѣ́довалъ є҆сѝ въ пꙋсты́ни ненасѣ́ѧннѣй ст҃о́мꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.
2 “Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “I remember for you the kindness of your youth, your love as a bride, how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
3 Ст҃ъ і҆и҃ль гдⷭ҇еви, нача́токъ плодѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀: всѝ поѧда́ющїи є҆го̀ согрѣша́тъ, ѕла̑ѧ прїи́дꙋтъ на ни́хъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.
3 Israel was holiness to Yahweh, the first fruits of his increase. All who devour him will be held guilty. Evil will come on them,”’ says Yahweh.”
4 Оу҆слы́шите сло́во гдⷭ҇не, до́ме і҆а́кѡвль и҆ всѧ̑ племена̀ до́мꙋ і҆и҃лева.
4 Hear Yahweh’s word, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel!
5 Сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: ко́е ѡ҆брѣто́ша ѻ҆тцы̀ ва́ши во мнѣ̀ погрѣше́нїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆дали́шасѧ ѿ менє̀ и҆ ходи́ша в̾слѣ́дъ сꙋ́етныхъ и҆ ѡ҆сꙋети́шасѧ,
5 Yahweh says, “What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after worthless vanity, and have become worthless?
6 и҆ не реко́ша: гдѣ́ є҆сть гдⷭ҇ь, и҆зведы́й на́съ ѿ землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ, преведы́й на́съ по пꙋсты́ни, по землѝ неѡбита́ннѣй и҆ непрохо́днѣй, по землѝ безво́днѣй и҆ непло́днѣй, по землѝ, по не́йже не ходи́лъ мꙋ́жъ никогда́же и҆ не ѡ҆бита́лъ человѣ́къ та́мѡ;
6 They didn’t say, ‘Where is Yahweh who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that no one passed through, and where no man lived?’
7 И҆ введо́хъ ва́съ въ зе́млю карми́лъ, да снѣ́сте плоды̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ блага̑ѧ тогѡ̀: и҆ внидо́сте, и҆ ѡ҆скверни́ли є҆стѐ зе́млю мою̀, и҆ достоѧ́нїе моѐ поста́вили є҆стѐ въ ме́рзость.
7 I brought you into a plentiful land to eat its fruit and its goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.
8 Свѧще́нницы не реко́ша: гдѣ̀ є҆́сть гдⷭ҇ь; и҆ держа́щїи зако́нъ не вѣ́дѣша мѧ̀, и҆ па́стырїе нече́ствоваша на мѧ̀, и҆ проро́цы проро́чествоваша въ ваа́ла и҆ і҆́дѡлѡмъ послѣ́доваша.
8 The priests didn’t say, ‘Where is Yahweh?’ and those who handle the law didn’t know me. The rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal and followed things that do not profit.
9 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди є҆щѐ сꙋдо́мъ прѣ́тисѧ и҆́мамъ съ ва́ми, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ съ сы̑ны ва́шими препрю́сѧ.
9 “Therefore I will yet contend with you,” says Yahweh, “and I will contend with your children’s children.
10 Тогѡ̀ ра́ди прїиди́те во ѻ҆́стровы хетті́мъ и҆ ви́дите, и҆ въ кида́ръ посли́те и҆ разсмотри́те прилѣ́жнѡ и҆ ви́дите, а҆́ще сотворє́на бы́ша такѡва́ѧ;
10 For pass over to the islands of Kittim, and see. Send to Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there has been such a thing.
11 а҆́ще премѣни́ша ꙗ҆зы́цы бо́ги своѧ̑, и҆ ті́и не сꙋ́ть бо́зи; лю́дїе же моѝ премѣни́ша сла́вꙋ свою̀ на то̀, ѿ негѡ́же не ᲂу҆по́льзꙋютсѧ.
11 Has a nation changed its gods, which really are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which doesn’t profit.
12 Оу҆жасе́сѧ нб҃о ѡ҆ се́мъ и҆ вострепета̀ попремно́гꙋ ѕѣлѡ̀, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.
12 “Be astonished, you heavens, at this and be horribly afraid. Be very desolate,” says Yahweh.
13 Два́ бо ѕла̑ сотвори́ша лю́дїе моѝ: менѐ ѡ҆ста́виша и҆сто́чника воды̀ жи́вы, и҆ и҆скопа́ша себѣ̀ кладенцы̀ сокрꙋшє́ныѧ, и҆̀же не возмо́гꙋтъ воды̀ содержа́ти.
13 “For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut out cisterns for themselves: broken cisterns that can’t hold water.
14 Є҆да̀ ра́бъ є҆́сть і҆и҃ль, и҆лѝ домоча́децъ є҆́сть; вскꙋ́ю бы́сть въ плѣне́нїе;
14 Is Israel a slave? Is he born into slavery? Why has he become a captive?
15 На него̀ рыка́ша льво́ве и҆ и҆зда́ша гла́съ сво́й, и҆̀же поста́виша зе́млю є҆гѡ̀ въ пꙋсты́ню, и҆ гра́ды є҆гѡ̀ сожже́ни сꙋ́ть, є҆́же не ѡ҆бита́ти въ ни́хъ.
15 The young lions have roared at him and raised their voices. They have made his land waste. His cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
16 И҆ сы́нове мемфі́са и҆ тафны̀ позна́ша тѧ̀ и҆ порꙋга́шасѧ тебѣ̀.
16 The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of your head.
17 Не сїѧ̑ ли сотворѝ тебѣ̀ то̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ста́вилъ є҆сѝ менѐ; гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й.
17 “Haven’t you brought this on yourself, in that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, when he led you by the way?
18 И҆ нн҃ѣ что̀ тебѣ̀ и҆ пꙋтѝ є҆гѵ́петскомꙋ, є҆́же пи́ти во́дꙋ геѡ́нскꙋю; и҆ что̀ тебѣ̀ и҆ пꙋтѝ а҆ссѷрі́йскомꙋ, да пїе́ши во́дꙋ рѣчнꙋ́ю;
18 Now what do you gain by going to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? Or why do you go on the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?
19 Нака́жетъ тѧ̀ ѿстꙋпле́нїе твоѐ, и҆ ѕло́ба твоѧ̀ ѡ҆бличи́тъ тѧ̀: и҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́ждь и҆ ви́ждь, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕло̀ и҆ го́рько тѝ є҆́сть, є҆́же ѡ҆ста́вити мѧ̀, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й: и҆ не бл҃говоли́хъ ѡ҆ тебѣ̀, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й.
19 “Your own wickedness will correct you, and your backsliding will rebuke you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing, that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, and that my fear is not in you,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
20 Поне́же ѿ вѣ́ка сокрꙋши́лъ є҆сѝ и҆́го твоѐ и҆ растерза́лъ є҆сѝ ᲂу҆́зы твоѧ̑ и҆ ре́клъ є҆сѝ: не и҆́мамъ тебѣ̀ слꙋжи́ти, но пойдꙋ̀ на всѧ́кїй хо́лмъ высо́кїй и҆ под̾ всѧ́кимъ дре́вомъ ли́ственнымъ та́мѡ разлїю́сѧ въ блꙋдѣ̀ мое́мъ.
20 “For long ago I broke off your yoke, and burst your bonds. You said, ‘I will not serve;’ for on every high hill and under every green tree you bowed yourself, playing the prostitute.
21 А҆́зъ же насади́хъ тѧ̀ вїногра́дъ плодоно́сенъ, ве́сь и҆́стиненъ: ка́кѡ преврати́лсѧ є҆сѝ въ го́ресть, вїногра́дъ чꙋжді́й;
21 Yet I had planted you a noble vine, a pure and faithful seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?
22 А҆́ще ᲂу҆мы́ешисѧ ні́тромъ и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жиши себѣ̀ травы̀ борі́ѳовы, поро́ченъ є҆сѝ во беззако́нїихъ твои́хъ предо мно́ю, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ.
22 For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me,” says the Lord Yahweh.
23 Ка́кѡ рече́ши: не ѡ҆скверни́хсѧ и҆ в̾слѣ́дъ ваа́ла не ходи́хъ; ви́ждь пꙋти̑ твоѧ̑ на мѣ́стѣ многогро́бищнѣмъ и҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́ждь, что̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ. Въ ве́черъ гла́съ є҆гѡ̀ рыда́ше,
23 “How can you say, ‘I am not defiled. I have not gone after the Baals’? See your way in the valley. Know what you have done. You are a swift dromedary traversing her ways,
24 пꙋти̑ своѧ̑ разширѝ на во́ды пꙋсты̑нныѧ, въ по́хотехъ дꙋшѝ своеѧ̀ вѣ́тромъ ноша́шесѧ, пре́данъ бы́сть, кто̀ ѡ҆брати́тъ є҆го̀; всѝ и҆́щꙋщїи є҆гѡ̀ не ᲂу҆трꙋдѧ́тсѧ, во смире́нїи є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтъ є҆го̀.
24 a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that sniffs the wind in her craving. When she is in heat, who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not weary themselves. In her month, they will find her.
25 Ѿвратѝ но́гꙋ твою̀ ѿ пꙋтѝ стро́потна и҆ горта́нь тво́й ѿ жа́жди. И҆ речѐ: возмꙋжа́юсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ возлюбѝ чꙋжди́хъ и҆ в̾слѣ́дъ и҆́хъ хожда́ше.
25 “Keep your feet from being bare, and your throat from thirst. But you said, ‘It is in vain. No, for I have loved strangers, and I will go after them.’
26 Ꙗ҆́коже сты́дъ та́тю, є҆гда̀ ꙗ҆́тъ бꙋ́детъ, та́кѡ постыдѧ́тсѧ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы, ті́и и҆ ца́рїе и҆́хъ, и҆ нача̑льницы и҆́хъ и҆ свѧще́нницы и҆́хъ и҆ проро́цы и҆́хъ.
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so the house of Israel is ashamed— they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets,
27 Дре́вꙋ реко́ша: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆те́цъ мо́й є҆сѝ ты̀: и҆ ка́мени: ты́ мѧ роди́лъ є҆сѝ: и҆ ѡ҆брати́ша ко мнѣ̀ хребты̀, а҆ не ли́ца своѧ̑: и҆ во вре́мѧ ѡ҆ѕлобле́нїѧ своегѡ̀ рекꙋ́тъ: воста́ни и҆ и҆зба́ви на́съ.
27 who tell wood, ‘You are my father,’ and a stone, ‘You have given birth to me,’ for they have turned their back to me, and not their face, but in the time of their trouble they will say, ‘Arise, and save us!’
28 И҆ гдѣ̀ сꙋ́ть бо́зи твоѝ, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ тебѣ̀; да воста́нꙋтъ и҆ и҆зба́вѧтъ тѧ̀ во вре́мѧ ѡ҆ѕлобле́нїѧ твоегѡ̀: по числꙋ́ бо градѡ́въ твои́хъ бы́ша бо́зи твоѝ, і҆ꙋ́до, и҆ по числꙋ̀ пꙋті́й і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мскихъ жрѧ́хꙋ ваа́лꙋ.
28 “But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble, for you have as many gods as you have towns, O Judah.
29 Вскꙋ́ю глаго́лете ко мнѣ̀; всѝ вы̀ нече́ствовасте и҆ всѝ вы̀ беззако́нновасте ко мнѣ̀, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.
29 “Why will you contend with me? You all have transgressed against me,” says Yahweh.
30 Всꙋ́е порази́хъ ча̑да ва̑ша, наказа́нїѧ не прїѧ́сте, ме́чь поѧдѐ проро́ки ва́шѧ, а҆́ки ле́въ погꙋблѧ́ѧй, и҆ не ᲂу҆боѧ́стесѧ.
30 “I have struck your children in vain. They received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31 Слы́шите сло́во гдⷭ҇не, та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: є҆да̀ пꙋсты́нѧ бы́хъ і҆и҃лю, и҆лѝ землѧ̀ непло́дна; вскꙋ́ю рѣ́ша лю́дїе моѝ: ѡ҆блада́еми не бꙋ́демъ и҆ пото́мъ не прїи́демъ къ тебѣ̀;
31 Generation, consider Yahweh’s word. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of thick darkness? Why do my people say, ‘We have broken loose. We will come to you no more’?
32 Є҆да̀ забꙋ́детъ невѣ́ста красотꙋ̀ свою̀, и҆ дѣ́ва мѡни́ста пе́рсїй свои́хъ; лю́дїе же моѝ забы́ша менѐ дни̑ безчи́слєнны.
32 “Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number.
33 Что̀ є҆щѐ добро̀ ᲂу҆хи́триши на пꙋте́хъ твои́хъ, є҆́же взыска́ти любвѐ; Не та́кѡ: но и҆ ты̀ лꙋка́вновала є҆сѝ, є҆́же ѡ҆скверни́ти пꙋти̑ твоѧ̑,
33 How well you prepare your way to seek love! Therefore you have even taught the wicked women your ways.
34 и҆ въ рꙋка́хъ твои́хъ ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ кро́вь дꙋ́шъ (ᲂу҆бо́гихъ) непови́нныхъ: не въ ро́вѣхъ ѡ҆брѣто́хъ и҆̀хъ, но во всѧ́цѣй дꙋбра́вѣ.
34 Also the blood of the souls of the innocent poor is found in your skirts. You didn’t find them breaking in, but it is because of all these things.
35 И҆ рекла̀ є҆сѝ: непови́нна є҆́смь, но да ѿврати́тсѧ ꙗ҆́рость твоѧ̀ ѿ менє̀. Сѐ, а҆́зъ сꙋждꙋ́сѧ съ тобо́ю, внегда̀ рещѝ тебѣ̀: не согрѣши́хъ:
35 “Yet you said, ‘I am innocent. Surely his anger has turned away from me.’ “Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
36 поне́же презрѣ́ла є҆сѝ ѕѣлѡ̀, є҆́же повтори́ти пꙋти̑ твоѧ̑: и҆ ѿ є҆гѵ́пта постыди́шисѧ, ꙗ҆́коже постыдѣ́на є҆сѝ ѿ а҆ссꙋ́ра:
36 Why do you go about so much to change your ways? You will be ashamed of Egypt also, as you were ashamed of Assyria.
37 ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ и҆зы́деши, и҆ рꙋ́цѣ твоѝ на главѣ̀ твое́й: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿри́нꙋ гдⷭ҇ь надѣ́ѧнїе твоѐ, и҆ не благопоспѣши́тсѧ тебѣ̀ въ не́мъ.
37 You will also leave that place with your hands on your head; for Yahweh has rejected those in whom you trust, and you won’t prosper with them.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    Those, therefore, who do not partake of Him, are neither nourished into life from the mother's breasts, nor do they enjoy that most limpid fountain which issues from the body of Christ; but they dig for themselves broken cisterns out of earthly trenches, and drink putrid water out of the mire, fleeing from the faith of the Church lest they …
