1 Слово, которое было к Иеремии от Господа:
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
2 встань и сойди в дом горшечника, и там Я возвещу тебе слова Мои.
2 “Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear my words.”
3 И сошел я в дом горшечника, и вот, он работал свою работу на кружале.
3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and behold, he was making something on the wheels.
4 И сосуд, который горшечник делал из глины, развалился в руке его; и он снова сделал из него другой сосуд, какой горшечнику вздумалось сделать.
4 When the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 И было слово Господне ко мне:
5 Then Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
6 не могу ли Я поступить с вами, дом Израилев, подобно горшечнику сему? говорит Господь. Вот, что глина в руке горшечника, то вы в Моей руке, дом Израилев.
6 “House of Israel, can’t I do with you as this potter?” says Yahweh. “Behold, as the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, house of Israel.
7 Иногда Я скажу о каком-либо народе и царстве, что искореню, сокрушу и погублю его;
7 At the instant I speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it,
8 но если народ этот, на который Я это изрек, обратится от своих злых дел, Я отлагаю то зло, которое помыслил сделать ему.
8 if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do to them.
9 А иногда скажу о каком-либо народе и царстве, что устрою и утвержу его;
9 At the instant I speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it,
10 но если он будет делать злое пред очами Моими и не слушаться гласа Моего, Я отменю то добро, которым хотел облагодетельствовать его.
10 if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they don’t obey my voice, then I will repent of the good with which I said I would benefit them.
11 Итак скажи мужам Иуды и жителям Иерусалима: так говорит Господь: вот, Я готовлю вам зло и замышляю против вас; итак обратитесь каждый от злого пути своего и исправьте пути ваши и поступки ваши.
11 “Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Yahweh says: “Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a plan against you. Everyone return from his evil way now, and amend your ways and your doings.”’
12 Но они говорят: "не надейся; мы будем жить по своим помыслам и будем поступать каждый по упорству злого своего сердца".
12 But they say, ‘It is in vain; for we will walk after our own plans, and we will each follow the stubbornness of his evil heart.’”
13 Посему так говорит Господь: спросите между народами, слыхал ли кто подобное сему? крайне гнусные дела совершила дева Израилева.
13 Therefore Yahweh says: “Ask now among the nations, ‘Who has heard such things?’ The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
14 Оставляет ли снег Ливанский скалу горы? и иссякают ли из других мест текущие холодные воды?
14 Will the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? Will the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?
15 А народ Мой оставил Меня; они кадят суетным, споткнулись на путях своих, оставили пути древние, чтобы ходить по стезям пути непроложенного,
15 For my people have forgotten me. They have burned incense to false gods. They have been made to stumble in their ways in the ancient paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built up,
16 чтобы сделать землю свою ужасом, всегдашним посмеянием, так что каждый, проходящий по ней, изумится и покачает головою своею.
16 to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and shake his head.
17 Как восточным ветром развею их пред лицем врага; спиною, а не лицем обращусь к ним в день бедствия их.
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy. I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
18 А они сказали: "придите, составим замысел против Иеремии; ибо не исчез же закон у священника и совет у мудрого, и слово у пророка; придите, сразим его языком и не будем внимать словам его".
18 Then they said, “Come! Let’s devise plans against Jeremiah; for the law won’t perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let’s strike him with the tongue, and let’s not give heed to any of his words.”
19 Внемли мне, Господи, и услышь голос моих противников.
19 Give heed to me, Yahweh, and listen to the voice of those who contend with me.
20 Должно ли воздавать злом за добро? а они роют яму душе моей. Вспомни, что я стою пред лицем Твоим, чтобы говорить за них доброе, чтобы отвратить от них гнев Твой.
20 Should evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.
21 Итак предай сыновей их голоду и подвергни их мечу; да будут жены их бездетными и вдовами, и мужья их да будут поражены смертью, и юноши их умерщвлены мечом на войне.
21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword. Let their wives become childless and widows. Let their men be killed and their young men struck by the sword in battle.
22 Да будет слышен вопль из домов их, когда приведешь на них полки внезапно; ибо они роют яму, чтобы поймать меня, и тайно расставили сети для ног моих.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses when you bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me and hidden snares for my feet.
23 Но Ты, Господи, знаешь все замыслы их против меня, чтобы умертвить меня; не прости неправды их и греха их не изгладь пред лицем Твоим; да будут они низвержены пред Тобою; поступи с ними во время гнева Твоего.
23 Yet, Yahweh, you know all their counsel against me to kill me. Don’t forgive their iniquity. Don’t blot out their sin from your sight, Let them be overthrown before you. Deal with them in the time of your anger.

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).
) power, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?" Here it is not to do away with free-will that he says this, but to show, up to what point we ought to obey God.
