“Look high and low; search throughout the city!
If you can find even one just and honest person,
I will not destroy the city.

Пройдіть лишень вулицями Єрусалиму, розгляньтесь добре та й розпитайтесь; шукайте по його майданах, чи знайдете кого, що суд чинив би, що шукав би правди, — і я йому прощу.
But even when they are under oath,

they are still telling lies!”

they are still telling lies!”
Хоч вони й кажуть: Як жив Господь! — та все ж клянуться вони неправдиво.
LORD, you are searching for honesty.
You struck your people,
but they paid no attention.
You crushed them,
but they refused to be corrected.
They are determined, with faces set like stone;
they have refused to repent.

О Господи, чи ж твої очі не шукають правди? Ти бив їх, та їм неначе б і не боліло; ти вигубив їх, але вони зреклися науки. Обличчя їхні стали твердішими за камінь, не бажають вони навертатись.

Я думав собі: Вони, напевно, люди прості, вони дурні, бо путі Господньої не знають, — закону свого Бога.
So I will go and speak to their leaders.
Surely they know the ways of the LORD
and understand God’s laws.”
But the leaders, too, as one man,
had thrown off God’s yoke
and broken his chains.

Піду ж я до знатних та розмовлюся з ними, вони бо путь Господню відають та й закон свого Бога. Але вони всі разом ярмо поламали, вужівки розірвали.
So now a lion from the forest will attack them;
a wolf from the desert will pounce on them.
A leopard will lurk near their towns,
tearing apart any who dare to venture out.
For their rebellion is great,
and their sins are many.

Тим то й б'є їх лев із лісу, з степу вовк їх нищить, леопард на їхні міста чигає, роздирає хто б з них не вийшов, бо їхніх переступів сила, і відступництвам їхнім міри немає.
“How can I pardon you?
For even your children have turned from me.
They have sworn by gods that are not gods at all!
I fed my people until they were full.
But they thanked me by committing adultery
and lining up at the brothels.

«Ради чого б я мав тобі простити? Діти твої мене покинули й присягаються лжебогами. Коли я ситив їх, вони перелюби чинили й купами юрмились коло дому блудниці.
They are well-fed, lusty stallions,
each neighing for his neighbor’s wife.

leaving a scattered few alive.
Strip the branches from the vines,
for these people do not belong to the LORD.

who don’t really speak for him.
Let their predictions of disaster fall on themselves!’”

whose speech you cannot understand.

Their weapons are deadly;
their warriors are mighty.

Як гріб відкритий, сагайдак у нього і всі вони витязі.

Коли ж будете питати: За що вчинив нам усе це Господь, Бог наш? — відкажеш їм: Як мене ви покинули й служили чужим богам у землі вашій, так чужинцям служитимете в землі не вашій.
Оповістіть це в домі Якова, звістіть про те в Юдеї, кажучи:
Listen, you foolish and senseless people,
with eyes that do not see
and ears that do not hear.
with eyes that do not see
and ears that do not hear.
Слухай оце, дурний народе, що маєш очі, та не бачиш; маєш вуха, та не чуєш!
Have you no respect for me?
Why don’t you tremble in my presence?
I, the LORD, define the ocean’s sandy shoreline
as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross.
The waves may toss and roar,
but they can never pass the boundaries I set.

Мене не боїтеся? — слово Господнє, — передо мною не будете тремтіти? Я ж поклав пісок границею морю, вічний закон, який воно не переступить; хоча й хвилі бушують, та здолати не можуть; хоч вони й ревуть, але його не переступлять.
But my people have stubborn and rebellious hearts.
They have turned away and abandoned me.

‘Let us live in awe of the LORD our God,
for he gives us rain each spring and fall,
assuring us of a harvest when the time is right.’

І не подумають у своєму серці: Біймося Господа, Бога нашого, що дощ дає ранній і пізній своєї пори, що для нас зберігає призначені жнив тижні.
Your wickedness has deprived you of these wonderful blessings.
Your sin has robbed you of all these good things.

to catch people.

and there is no limit to their wicked deeds.
They refuse to provide justice to orphans
and deny the rights of the poor.
