- 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 И вот слова письма, которое пророк Иеремия послал из Иерусалима к остатку старейшин между переселенцами и к священникам, и к пророкам, и ко всему народу, которых Навуходоносор вывел из Иерусалима в Вавилон, -
1 Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon,
2 после того, как вышли из Иерусалима царь Иехония и царица и евнухи, князья Иудеи и Иерусалима, и плотники и кузнецы, -
2 (after Jeconiah the king, the queen mother, the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem),
3 через Елеасу, сына Сафанова, и Гемарию, сына Хелкиина, которых Седекия, царь Иудейский, посылал в Вавилон к Навуходоносору, царю Вавилонскому:
3 by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon). It said:
4 так говорит Господь Саваоф, Бог Израилев, всем пленникам, которых Я переселил из Иерусалима в Вавилон:
4 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says to all the captives whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 стройте домы и живите в них, и разводите сады и ешьте плоды их;
5 “Build houses and dwell in them. Plant gardens and eat their fruit.
6 берите жен и рождайте сыновей и дочерей; и сыновьям своим берите жен и дочерей своих отдавайте в замужество, чтобы они рождали сыновей и дочерей, и размножайтесь там, а не умаляйтесь;
6 Take wives and father sons and daughters. Take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters. Multiply there, and don’t be diminished.
7 и заботьтесь о благосостоянии города, в который Я переселил вас, и молитесь за него Господу; ибо при благосостоянии его и вам будет мир.
7 Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to Yahweh for it; for in its peace you will have peace.”
8 Ибо так говорит Господь Саваоф, Бог Израилев: да не обольщают вас пророки ваши, которые среди вас, и гадатели ваши; и не слушайте снов ваших, которые вам снятся;
8 For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Don’t let your prophets who are among you and your diviners deceive you. Don’t listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.
9 ложно пророчествуют они вам именем Моим; Я не посылал их, говорит Господь.
9 For they prophesy falsely to you in my name. I have not sent them,” says Yahweh.
10 Ибо так говорит Господь: когда исполнится вам в Вавилоне семьдесят лет, тогда Я посещу вас и исполню доброе слово Мое о вас, чтобы возвратить вас на место сие.
10 For Yahweh says, “After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11 Ибо только Я знаю намерения, какие имею о вас, говорит Господь, намерения во благо, а не на зло, чтобы дать вам будущность и надежду.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
12 И воззовете ко Мне, и пойдете и помолитесь Мне, и Я услышу вас;
12 You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
13 и взыщете Меня и найдете, если взыщете Меня всем сердцем вашим.
13 You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.
14 И буду Я найден вами, говорит Господь, и возвращу вас из плена и соберу вас из всех народов и из всех мест, куда Я изгнал вас, говорит Господь, и возвращу вас в то место, откуда переселил вас.
14 I will be found by you,” says Yahweh, “and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you,” says Yahweh. “I will bring you again to the place from where I caused you to be carried away captive.”
15 Вы говорите: "Господь воздвиг нам пророков и в Вавилоне".
15 Because you have said, “Yahweh has raised us up prophets in Babylon,”
16 Так говорит Господь о царе, сидящем на престоле Давидовом, и о всем народе, живущем в городе сем, о братьях ваших, которые не отведены с вами в плен, -
16 Yahweh says concerning the king who sits on David’s throne, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brothers who haven’t gone with you into captivity,
17 так говорит о них Господь Саваоф: вот, Я пошлю на них меч, голод и моровую язву, и сделаю их такими, как негодные смоквы, которых нельзя есть по негодности их;
17 Yahweh of Armies says: “Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like rotten figs that can’t be eaten, they are so bad.
18 и буду преследовать их мечом, голодом и моровою язвою, и предам их на озлобление всем царствам земли, на проклятие и ужас, на посмеяние и поругание между всеми народами, куда Я изгоню их,
18 I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an object of horror, an astonishment, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,
19 за то, что они не слушали слов Моих, говорит Господь, с которыми Я посылал к ним рабов Моих, пророков, посылал с раннего утра, но они не слушали, говорит Господь.
19 because they have not listened to my words,” says Yahweh, “with which I sent to them my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not hear,” says Yahweh.
20 А вы, все переселенцы, которых Я послал из Иерусалима в Вавилон, слушайте слово Господне:
20 Hear therefore Yahweh’s word, all you captives whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21 так говорит Господь Саваоф, Бог Израилев, об Ахаве, сыне Колии, и о Седекии, сыне Маасеи, которые пророчествуют вам именем Моим ложь: вот, Я предам их в руки Навуходоносора, царя Вавилонского, и он умертвит их пред вашими глазами.
21 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in my name: “Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he will kill them before your eyes.
22 И принято будет от них всеми переселенцами Иудейскими, которые в Вавилоне, проклинать так: "да соделает тебе Господь то же, что Седекии и Ахаву", которых царь Вавилонский изжарил на огне
22 A curse will be taken up about them by all the captives of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, ‘Yahweh make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;’
23 за то, что они делали гнусное в Израиле: прелюбодействовали с женами ближних своих и именем Моим говорили ложь, чего Я не повелевал им; Я знаю это, и Я свидетель, говорит Господь.
23 because they have done foolish things in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I didn’t command them. I am he who knows, and am witness,” says Yahweh.
24 И Шемаии Нехеламитянину скажи:
24 Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying,
25 так говорит Господь Саваоф, Бог Израилев: за то, что ты посылал письма от имени своего ко всему народу, который в Иерусалиме, и к священнику Софонии, сыну Маасеи, и ко всем священникам, и писал:
25 “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
26 "Господь поставил тебя священником вместо священника Иодая, чтобы ты был между блюстителями в доме Господнем за всяким человеком, неистовствующим и пророчествующим, и чтобы ты сажал такого в темницу и в колоду:
26 “Yahweh has made you priest in the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in Yahweh’s house, for every man who is crazy and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles.
27 почему же ты не запретишь Иеремии Анафофскому пророчествовать у вас?
27 Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you,
28 Ибо он и к нам в Вавилон прислал сказать: плен будет продолжителен: стройте домы и живите в них; разводите сады и ешьте плоды их".
28 because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long. Build houses, and dwell in them. Plant gardens, and eat their fruit?”’”
29 Когда Софония священник прочитал это письмо вслух пророка Иеремии,
29 Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 тогда было слово Господне к Иеремии:
30 Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
31 пошли ко всем переселенцам сказать: так говорит Господь о Шемаии Нехеламитянине: за то, что Шемаия у вас пророчествует, а Я не посылал его, и обнадеживает вас ложно, -
31 “Send to all of the captives, saying, ‘Yahweh says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I didn’t send him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie,”
32 за то, так говорит Господь: вот, Я накажу Шемаию Нехеламитянина и племя его; не будет от него человека, живущего среди народа сего, и не увидит он того добра, которое Я сделаю народу Моему, говорит Господь; ибо он говорил вопреки Господу.
32 therefore Yahweh says, “Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his offspring. He will not have a man to dwell among this people. He won’t see the good that I will do to my people,” says Yahweh, “because he has spoken rebellion against 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).
… when predicting the captivity that was to befall the ancient people of God, and giving them the divine command to go obediently to Babylonia, and thus serve their God, counselled them also to pray for Babylonia, saying, "In the peace thereof shall ye have peace," --the temporal peace which the good and the wicked together enjoy.
