Исая 42
1 Ето Моят служител, когото подкрепявам, Моят избраник, в когото благоволи душата Ми; Турих Духа Си на него; Той ще постави правосъдие за народите.
[Yahweh says, “I want you people to know about] my servant, whom I encourage. I have chosen him, and I am pleased with him. I have given him my Spirit, and he will make certain that all the people-groups do what is right/just.
2 Няма да извика, нито ще издигне високо гласа си, Нито ще го направи да се чуе навън.
He will not [show his power by] shouting [DOU] or by talking very loudly.
3 Смазана тръстика няма да пречупи, И замъждял фитил няма да угаси; Ще постави правосъдие според истината.
He will not get rid of [anyone who is weak like] [MET] a smashed reed, and he will not [end the life of anyone who is helpless like] [MET] someone would extinguish a dimly burning wick [of an oil lamp]. He will faithfully/continually make sure that judges decide cases justly.
4 Няма да ослабне нито да се съкруши Догдето установи правосъдие на земята; И островите ще очакват неговата поука.
He will not become exhausted or discouraged all during the time that he is causing things to be done justly throughout the earth. Even [people living on the islands in] [MTY] the oceans will confidently wait for [him to teach them] his laws.”
5 Така казва Бог, Господ, Който е направил небето и го е разпрострял, Който е разтлал земята с произведенията й, Който дава дишане на людете, които са на нея, И дух на тия, които ходят по нея:
Yahweh our God created the sky and spread it out. He also created the earth and everything on it. He gives breath to all the people on the earth; he causes them to live [DOU]. [And he is the one who says to his special servant],
6 Аз Господ те призовах в правда, И като хвана ръката ти ще те пазя, И ще те поставя за завет на людете, За светлина на народите,
“I, Yahweh, have chosen you to show people that I always act righteously/fairly. I will grasp your hand and protect you, and I will present you to [my Israeli] people to be the one who will put into effect my agreement with them. [You will be like] a light to the [other] nations.
7 За да отвориш очите на слепите, Да извадиш запрените от затвор, И седящите в мрак из тъмницата.
You will enable blind [IDM] people to see, you will free those who are in prison (OR, who are bound [by the guilt of their sins]) [MET] and release those who are in dark dungeons.
8 Аз съм Господ; това е Моето име; И не ща да дам славата Си на друг, Нито хвалата Си на изваяните идоли.
I am Yahweh; that is my name. I will not allow anyone else to receive the honor that only I deserve. And I will not allow idols to be praised like only I should be praised.
9 Ето, нещата, предсказани от начало се сбъднаха, И Аз ви известявам нови, Преди да се появят, казвам ви ги.
Everything that I have prophesied has happened, and now I will tell about other things that will happen. I will tell you things that will happen before they happen.”
10 Пейте на Господа нова песен, Хвалата Му от краищата на земята, Вие, които слизате на морето и всичко що е в него, Острови, и вие, които живеете на тях.
Sing a new song to Yahweh! Sing to praise him throughout the world! All you people who sail across the oceans, and all you creatures that live in the oceans, and all you people who live on islands far away, sing!
11 Пустинята и градовете й нека извикат с висок глас, Силата, гдето живее Кидар; Нека пият жителите на Села, Нека възклицават от върховете на планините,
You people who live in towns in the desert, sing loudly! You people who live in the Kedar [area in the north of Arabia], you rejoice also! You people in Sela [city in Edom], you also should sing joyfully; shout [to praise him] from the tops of your mountains!
12 Нека отдадат слава на Господа, И нека възвестят хвалата Му в островите.
Even people who live on distant islands should honor Yahweh and sing to praise him.
13 Господ ще излезе като силен мъж, Ще възбуди ревнивостта Си като ратник, Ще извика, да! ще изреве. Ще надделее над враговете Си;
[It will be as though] Yahweh will march out like [SIM] a mighty soldier; he will show that he is very angry. He will shout a battle-cry, and [then] he will defeat all his enemies.
14 За дълго време мълчах, казва Той. Останах тих, въздържах Себе Си; Но сега ще извикам като жена, която ражда, Ще погубя и същевременно ще погълна.
[He will say], “I have remained silent [DOU] for a long time; I have restrained myself [from doing what I need to do]. But now, like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby, I will cry out and gasp and pant.
15 Ще запустя планини и хълмове, И ще изсуша всичката им трева; Ще обърна реките в острови, И ще пресуша езерата.
I will level off the hills and mountains, and I will cause all the plants and trees to dry up. I will cause the rivers to become small streams, and little islands will appear in them, and I will cause all the pools to become dry.
16 Ще доведа слепите през път, който не са знаели, Ще ги водя в пътеки, които им са били непознати; Ще обърна тъмнината в светлина пред тях, И неравните места ще направя равни. Това ще сторя, и няма да ги оставя.
[My people who have been taken to Babylonia are like] [MET] blind people, [but] I will lead them along a road on which they have not walked before, on a road that they have not seen before. They have felt [very helpless, as though] they were walking in the darkness, but I will take away that darkness and I will make smooth the road that is in front of them. Those are the things that I will do for them; I will not abandon them.
17 Ще се върнат назад, съвсем ще се посрамят Ония, които уповават на ваяните идоли, Които казват на леяните: Вие сте наши богове.
But those who trust in carved idols, and say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be completely humiliated/disgraced.”
18 Чуите, глухи, И гледайте, слепи, за да видите.
You [Israeli people who have acted toward God like] deaf [people], listen [to what Yahweh says]! “You [who have been like] [MET] blind [people], look!
19 Кой е сляп, ако не е служителят Ми, Или глух, както посланика, когото изпращам? Кой е сляп както предания Богу, И сляп както служителя Господен?
No people are [RHQ] as blind as my people, who [should have been] serving me. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] deaf people as [the Israelis, who should have been] my messengers. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] blind people as those whom I chose to serve me.
20 Ти гледаш много неща но не наблюдаваш; Ушите му са отворени, но той не чува.
You see and know what are the right things to do, but you do not do them. You hear [what I say to you], but you do not pay attention.”
21 Господ благоволи заради правдата Си Да възвеличи учението и да го направи почитаемо.
Because Yahweh is righteous, he has honored his glorious laws.
22 Но те са ограбени и оголени люде; Всички са впримчени в пещери и скрити в тъмници; Плячка са, и няма избавител, Обир са, и никой не казва: Върни го.
But [the armies of Babylon have destroyed Jerusalem] and have completely (plundered/taken away) [DOU] all the valuable things, and they have captured Yahweh’s people and taken them away and put them in prison. They have been captured easily, because there was no one to protect them; there was no one to say that they should be allowed to return home.
23 Кой от вас ще даде ухо на това? Кой ще внимава и слуша за бъдещето?
Who among you will listen carefully to these things? Who will pay attention from now on?
24 Кой предаде Якова на обир, И Израиля на грабител? Не Господ ли, на Когото съгрешихме? Защото не искаха да ходят в пътищата Му, Нито послушаха учението Му.
Who allowed the valuable possessions of the people of Israel to be stolen [RHQ, DOU]? It was Yahweh, because he is he one against whom we had sinned; we did not conduct our lives like he wanted us to, and we did not obey his laws.
25 Затова изля на него лютостта на гнева Си И свирепостта на боя; И това го запали изоколо, но той не се сети, Изгори го, но той не го вложи в сърцето си.
Therefore, he was extremely angry with us, and he caused our soldiers to be destroyed in battles. [It was as though] [MET] he lit a fire around us, but we did not understand [what he was trying to tell us]. [His being angry with us was like] a fire that would burn us up, but we did not pay attention [IDM].
