1 И услышали Сафатия, сын Матфана, и Годолия, сын Пасхора, и Юхал, сын Селемии, и Пасхор, сын Малхии, слова, которые Иеремия произнес ко всему народу, говоря:
1 Shephatiah the son of Mattan, Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, saying,
2 так говорит Господь: кто останется в этом городе, умрет от меча, голода и моровой язвы; а кто выйдет к Халдеям, будет жив, и душа его будет ему вместо добычи, и он останется жив.
2 “Yahweh says, ‘He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans will live. He will escape with his life and he will live.’
3 Так говорит Господь: непременно предан будет город сей в руки войска царя Вавилонского, и он возьмет его.
3 Yahweh says, ‘This city will surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will take it.’”
4 Тогда князья сказали царю: да будет этот человек предан смерти, потому что он ослабляет руки воинов, которые остаются в этом городе, и руки всего народа, говоря к ним такие слова; ибо этот человек не благоденствия желает народу сему, а бедствия.
4 Then the princes said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death, because he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them; for this man doesn’t seek the welfare of this people, but harm.”
5 И сказал царь Седекия: вот, он в ваших руках, потому что царь ничего не может делать вопреки вам.
5 Zedekiah the king said, “Behold, he is in your hand; for the king can’t do anything to oppose you.”
6 Тогда взяли Иеремию и бросили его в яму Малхии, сына царя, которая была во дворе стражи, и опустили Иеремию на веревках; в яме той не было воды, а только грязь, и погрузился Иеремия в грязь.
6 Then they took Jeremiah and threw him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, that was in the court of the guard. They let down Jeremiah with cords. In the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.
7 И услышал Авдемелех Ефиоплянин, один из евнухов, находившихся в царском доме, что Иеремию посадили в яму; а царь сидел тогда у ворот Вениаминовых.
7 Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king was then sitting in Benjamin’s gate),
8 И вышел Авдемелех из дома царского и сказал царю:
8 Ebedmelech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,
9 государь мой царь! худо сделали эти люди, так поступив с Иеремиею пророком, которого бросили в яму; он умрет там от голода, потому что нет более хлеба в городе.
9 “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon. He is likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.”
10 Царь дал приказание Авдемелеху Ефиоплянину, сказав: возьми с собою отсюда тридцать человек и вытащи Иеремию пророка из ямы, доколе он не умер.
10 Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, “Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.”
11 Авдемелех взял людей с собою и вошел в дом царский под кладовую, и взял оттуда старых негодных тряпок и старых негодных лоскутьев и опустил их на веревках в яму к Иеремии.
11 So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
12 И сказал Авдемелех Ефиоплянин Иеремии: подложи эти старые брошенные тряпки и лоскутья под мышки рук твоих, под веревки. И сделал так Иеремия.
12 Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Now put these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords.” Jeremiah did so.
13 И потащили Иеремию на веревках и вытащили его из ямы; и оставался Иеремия во дворе стражи.
13 So they lifted Jeremiah up with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
14 Тогда царь Седекия послал и призвал Иеремию пророка к себе, при третьем входе в дом Господень, и сказал царь Иеремии: я у тебя спрошу нечто; не скрой от меня ничего.
14 Then Zedekiah the king sent and took Jeremiah the prophet to himself into the third entry that is in Yahweh’s house. Then the king said to Jeremiah, “I will ask you something. Hide nothing from me.”
15 И сказал Иеремия Седекии: если я открою тебе, не предашь ли ты меня смерти? и если дам тебе совет, ты не послушаешь меня.
15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? If I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.”
16 И клялся царь Седекия Иеремии тайно, говоря: жив Господь, Который сотворил нам душу сию, не предам тебя смерти и не отдам в руки этих людей, которые ищут души твоей.
16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, “As Yahweh lives, who made our souls, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.”
17 Тогда Иеремия сказал Седекии: так говорит Господь Бог Саваоф, Бог Израилев: если ты выйдешь к князьям царя Вавилонского, то жива будет душа твоя, и этот город не будет сожжен огнем, и ты будешь жив, и дом твой;
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you will go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul will live, and this city will not be burned with fire. You will live, along with your house.
18 а если не выйдешь к князьям царя Вавилонского, то этот город будет предан в руки Халдеев, и они сожгут его огнем, и ты не избежишь от рук их.
18 But if you will not go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire, and you won’t escape out of their hand.’”
19 И сказал царь Седекия Иеремии: я боюсь Иудеев, которые перешли к Халдеям, чтобы Халдеи не предали меня в руки их, и чтобы те не надругались надо мною.
19 Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have defected to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.”
20 И сказал Иеремия: не предадут; послушай гласа Господа в том, что я говорю тебе, и хорошо тебе будет, и жива будет душа твоя.
20 But Jeremiah said, “They won’t deliver you. Obey, I beg you, Yahweh’s voice, in that which I speak to you; so it will be well with you, and your soul will live.
21 А если ты не захочешь выйти, то вот слово, которое открыл мне Господь:
21 But if you refuse to go out, this is the word that Yahweh has shown me:
22 вот, все жены, которые остались в доме царя Иудейского, отведены будут к князьям царя Вавилонского, и скажут они: "тебя обольстили и превозмогли друзья твои; ноги твои погрузились в грязь, и они удалились от тебя".
22 ‘Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah’s house will be brought out to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women will say, “Your familiar friends have turned on you, and have prevailed over you. Your feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned away from you.”
23 И всех жен твоих и детей твоих отведут к Халдеям, и ты не избежишь от рук их; но будешь взят рукою царя Вавилонского, и сделаешь то, что город сей будет сожжен огнем.
23 They will bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans. You won’t escape out of their hand, but will be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. You will cause this city to be burned with fire.’”
24 И сказал Седекия Иеремии: никто не должен знать этих слов, и тогда ты не умрешь;
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you won’t die.
25 и если услышат князья, что я разговаривал с тобою, и придут к тебе, и скажут тебе: "скажи нам, что говорил ты царю, не скрой от нас, и мы не предадим тебя смерти, - и также что говорил тебе царь",
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and tell you, ‘Declare to us now what you have said to the king; don’t hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also tell us what the king said to you;’
26 то скажи им: "я повергнул пред лице царя прошение мое, чтобы не возвращать меня в дом Ионафана, чтобы не умереть там".
26 then you shall tell them, ‘I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.’”
27 И пришли все князья к Иеремии и спрашивали его, и он сказал им согласно со всеми словами, какие царь велел сказать, и они молча оставили его, потому что не узнали сказанного царю.
27 Then all the princes came to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him, for the matter was not perceived.
28 И оставался Иеремия во дворе стражи до того дня, в который был взят Иерусалим. И Иерусалим был взят.
28 So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.

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 you slack the hands of the people? It is thou who disbelievest that compellest me to say these things; it is thou that hast drawn me out into these words.
