Notes on this text (1)
- Includes the books not found in the Hebrew Bible (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1–3 Maccabees, 2 and 3 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh), as in the Synodal editions.
1 Праведен будешь Ты, Господи, если я стану судиться с Тобою; и однако же буду говорить с Тобою о правосудии: почему путь нечестивых благоуспешен, и все вероломные благоденствуют?
1 You are righteous, Yahweh, when I contend with you; yet I would like to plead a case with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?
2 Ты насадил их, и они укоренились, выросли и приносят плод. В устах их Ты близок, но далек от сердца их.
2 You have planted them. Yes, they have taken root. They grow. Yes, they produce fruit. You are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.
3 А меня, Господи, Ты знаешь, видишь меня и испытываешь сердце мое, каково оно к Тебе. Отдели их, как овец на заклание, и приготовь их на день убиения.
3 But you, Yahweh, know me. You see me, and test my heart toward you. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4 Долго ли будет сетовать земля, и трава на всех полях - сохнуть? скот и птицы гибнут за нечестие жителей ее, ибо они говорят: "Он не увидит, что с нами будет".
4 How long will the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? Because of the wickedness of those who dwell therein, the animals and birds are consumed; because they said, “He won’t see our latter end.”
5 Если ты с пешими бежал, и они утомили тебя, как же тебе состязаться с конями? и если в стране мирной ты был безопасен, то что будешь делать в наводнение Иордана?
5 “If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? Though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?
6 Ибо и братья твои и дом отца твоего, и они вероломно поступают с тобою, и они кричат вслед тебя громким голосом. Не верь им, когда они говорят тебе и доброе.
6 For even your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you! Even they have cried aloud after you! Don’t believe them, though they speak beautiful words to you.
7 Я оставил дом Мой; покинул удел Мой; самое любезное для души Моей отдал в руки врагов его.
7 “I have forsaken my house. I have cast off my heritage. I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 Удел Мой сделался для Меня как лев в лесу; возвысил на Меня голос свой: за то Я возненавидел его.
8 My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest. She has uttered her voice against me. Therefore I have hated her.
9 Удел Мой стал у Меня, как разноцветная птица, на которую со всех сторон напали другие хищные птицы. Идите, собирайтесь, все полевые звери: идите пожирать его.
9 Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her all around? Go, assemble all the animals of the field. Bring them to devour.
10 Множество пастухов испортили Мой виноградник, истоптали ногами участок Мой; любимый участок Мой сделали пустою степью;
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard. They have trodden my portion under foot. They have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11 сделали его пустынею, и в запустении он плачет предо Мною; вся земля опустошена, потому что ни один человек не прилагает этого к сердцу.
11 They have made it a desolation. It mourns to me, being desolate. The whole land is made desolate, because no one cares.
12 На все горы в пустыне пришли опустошители; ибо меч Господа пожирает все от одного края земли до другого: нет мира ни для какой плоти.
12 Destroyers have come on all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Yahweh devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land. No flesh has peace.
13 Они сеяли пшеницу, а пожали терны; измучились, и не получили никакой пользы; постыдитесь же таких прибытков ваших по причине пламенного гнева Господа.
13 They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns. They have exhausted themselves, and profit nothing. You will be ashamed of your fruits, because of Yahweh’s fierce anger.”
14 Так говорит Господь обо всех злых Моих соседях, нападающих на удел, который Я дал в наследие народу Моему, Израилю: вот, Я исторгну их из земли их, и дом Иудин исторгну из среды их.
14 Yahweh says, “Concerning all my evil neighbors, who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.
15 Но после того, как Я исторгну их, снова возвращу и помилую их, и приведу каждого в удел его и каждого в землю его.
15 It will happen that after I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them. I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16 И если они научатся путям народа Моего, чтобы клясться именем Моим: "жив Господь!", как они научили народ Мой клясться Ваалом, то водворятся среди народа Моего.
16 It will happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, ‘As Yahweh lives;’ even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will be built up in the middle of my people.
17 Если же не послушаются, то Я искореню и совершенно истреблю такой народ, говорит Господь.
17 But if they will not hear, then I will pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it,” says Yahweh.

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).
Respecting such it is said in another place by the prophet, "They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns;" because they teach what is good, and do what is evil.

and the Lord Himself says in the Prophets, Mine heritage became unto Me as a lion in the forest; it gave its voice against Me; therefore have I hated it.
