“Run up and down every street in Jerusalem,” says the LORD.
“Look high and low; search throughout the city!
If you can find even one just and honest person,
I will not destroy the city.

“Look high and low; search throughout the city!
If you can find even one just and honest person,
I will not destroy the city.
Пройдїте по улицях Ерусалимських, озирнїтесь навкруги та роспитуйте й шукайте по всїх майданах: чи знайдете кого, що чинив би суд, щоб допевнявся правди, — я би змилосердився.
But even when they are under oath,
saying, ‘As surely as the LORD lives,’
they are still telling lies!”

Хоч вони й мовляють: "Як жив Господь!" то божяться криво.
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.

Твої ж, Господи, очі хиба не на правду дивляться? Ти побиваєш їх, та їх наче б не болїло; ти вигублюєш їх, та вони не хочуть знати науки; лиця в їх поробились твердїйшими од каменя — не хотять навернутись.
Then I said, “But what can we expect from the poor?
They are ignorant.
They don’t know the ways of the LORD.
They don’t understand God’s laws.

Я думав собі: вони, може бути, люде прості, вони дурні, то ж і не знають путя Господнього, нї закону Божого.
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.

Пійду ж я до значних та розмовлюсь із ними, бо вони знають Господню путь, закон Бога свого. Та вони всї вкупі ще більш поламали ярмо, порвали ужви.
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 і побє їх лев із лїса, пожере степовий вовк, облягати ме пард міста їх, так що, хто вийде, буде пошматований, бо умножились переступи їх, нема лїку зрадам їх.
“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.

Як же менї за таке простити тебе? Дїти твої покинули мене та й присягаються тими, що — не боги. Я годував їх, вони перелюбкували й купами товпились у доми блудниць.
They are well-fed, lusty stallions,
each neighing for his neighbor’s wife.

Вони — годовані жеребцї: кожний рже до чужої жени.
Should I not punish them for this?” says the LORD.

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

Вилазїте на мури його й розвалюйте — та не до щаду; виривайте парости його, бо вони не Господнї;
The people of Israel and Judah
are full of treachery against me,”
says the LORD.

No disasters will come upon us.
There will be no war or famine.

Одцурались вони Господа й мовляли: "Нема його, й не побє нас лиха година, нї меч, нї голоднеча.
God’s prophets are all windbags
who don’t really speak for him.
Let their predictions of disaster fall on themselves!’”

І пророки говорили на вітер, і слова (Господнього) нема в них; їм самим нехай те станеться."
Therefore, this is what the LORD God of Heaven’s Armies says:
“Because the people are talking like this,
my messages will flame out of your mouth
and burn the people like kindling wood.

Тим же то говорить Господь Бог сил: за те, що провадили ви такі речі, зроблю я слова мої в устах твоїх огнем, а сих людей — дровами, і той огонь пожере їх.
O Israel, I will bring a distant nation against you,”
says the LORD.

an ancient nation,
a people whose language you do not know,
whose speech you cannot understand.

Ось, я напущу на вас, доме Ізраїля, народ здалеку, говорить Господь, народ потужний, народ давнезний, народ, що мови його ти не знаєш, і що він говорить, ти незрозумієш.
Their weapons are deadly;
their warriors are mighty.

Сагайдак у його, як гріб розтворений, а всї вони — самі невміраки.
They will devour the food of your harvest;
they will devour your sons and daughters.
They will devour your flocks and herds;
they will devour your grapes and figs.
And they will destroy your fortified towns,
which you think are so safe.

І повиїдають вони вроджай твій і зерно твоє; з'їдять синів твоїх і дочок твоїх; вівцї твої й товар твій; виноградину твою й смокви твої; утверджені городи твої, що на їх уповаєш, вони мечем звоюють.
“Yet even in those days I will not blot you out completely,” says the LORD.
Але й у ті часи, говорить Господь, не вигублю вас до щаду.

Коли ж мовляти мете: За що вдїяв нам се все Господь, Бог наш? то відкажи їм: Що ви мене покинули та й служили чужим богам у своїй землї, за те будете служити чужим у землї не вашій.
Оповістїть се в дому Якововому й звістїть 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.
Слухайте, дурні й нерозсудливі люде, що маєте очі, та не бачите, маєте уші, та не чуєте:
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.

Чи вже ж ви та не боїтесь мене, говорить Господь, чи й передо мною не затремтите? Я ж положив морю гряницею піски, вічною гряницею, яку воно не переступить; і хоч филї його напирають, та годї їм перемогти; хоч вони бурхають, та не здолїють перейти.
But my people have stubborn and rebellious hearts.
They have turned away and abandoned me.

А в людей сих серце бутне й ворохобне; відступили та й пійшли манівцем.
They do not say from the heart,
‘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.’

Не подумали ж у серцї свойму: Біймося Господа Бога нашого, що дає нам свого часу дощ раннїй і пізнїй, що порядкує тижнями, призначеними на жнива.
Your wickedness has deprived you of these wonderful blessings.
Your sin has robbed you of all these good things.

who lie in wait for victims like a hunter hiding in a blind.
They continually set traps
to catch people.

Бо між людьми моїми знаходяться безбожні: залягають, як птахоловцї, припадають до землї, наставляють сїти, щоб ловити людей.
Like a cage filled with birds,
their homes are filled with evil plots.
And now they are great and rich.

Мов клїтка, повна птиць, так повно в їх домівках оманного заробітку; сим робом і поробились вони великими й заможними,
They are fat and sleek,
and there is no limit to their wicked deeds.
They refuse to provide justice to orphans
and deny the rights of the poor.

Потовстїли й погрубшали, а в лихому попереступали всяку міру; не розбирають справ на судї, справ безбатченків; самі упливають в добрі, а справедливому дїлу вбогих не помагають на судї.
Should I not punish them for this?” says the LORD.
“Should I not avenge myself against such a nation?
