Isaiah 48
1 “Listen to this, O house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, who have descended from the line of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD, who invoke the God of Israel— but not in truth or righteousness—
Услышите сия, доме Иаковль, прозваннии именем Израилевым и изшедшии из Иуды, кленущиися именем Господа Бога Израилева, поминающии не со истиною, ниже со правдою,
2 who indeed call yourselves after the holy city and lean on the God of Israel; the LORD of Hosts is His name.
и придержащиися имени града святаго, и о Бозе Израилеве подтверждающиися: Господь Саваоф имя Ему.
3 I foretold the former things long ago; they came out of My mouth and I proclaimed them. Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.
Преждняя еще возвестих, и из уст Моих изыдоша, и слышано бысть: внезапу сотворих, и найде.
4 For I knew that you are stubborn; your neck is iron and your forehead is bronze.
Вем, яко жесток еси, и жила железна выя твоя, и чело твое медяно.
5 Therefore I declared it to you long ago; I announced it before it came to pass, so that you could not claim, ‘My idol has done this; my carved image and molten god has ordained it.’
И возвестих ти, яже древле, прежде неже приити на тя: слышана тебе сотворих, да не когда речеши, яко идоли мне сия сотвориша, и не рцы, яко изваянная и слиянная заповедаша мне.
6 You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not acknowledge them? From now on I will tell you of new things, hidden things unknown to you.
Слышасте вся, и вы не разуместе: но и слышана тебе сотворих новая отныне, яже имут быти:
7 They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot claim, ‘I already knew them!’
и не рекл еси: ныне бывают, а не прежде, и не в преждния дни слышал еси сия: не рцы: ей, вем сия.
8 You have never heard; you have never understood; for a long time your ears have not been open. For I knew how deceitful you are; you have been called a rebel from birth.
Не ведел еси, ниже разумел еси, ниже исперва отверзох ушеса твоя: ведех бо, яко отвергая отринеши и беззаконник еще от чрева прозовешися.
9 For the sake of My name I will delay My wrath; for the sake of My praise I will restrain it, so that you will not be cut off.
Имене Моего ради покажу ти ярость Мою, и славная Моя наведу на тя, да не потреблю тебе.
10 See, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
Се, продах тя не сребра ради: изях же тя из пещи убожества.
11 For My own sake, My very own sake, I will act; for how can I let Myself be defamed? I will not yield My glory to another.
Мене ради сотворю ти, яко Мое имя оскверняется, и славы Моея иному не дам.
12 Listen to Me, O Jacob, and Israel, whom I have called: I am He; I am the first, and I am the last.
Послушай Мене, Иакове и Израилю, егоже Аз призываю: Аз есмь первый и Аз есмь во век.
13 Surely My own hand founded the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they stand up together.
И рука Моя основа землю, и десница Моя утверди небо: призову я, и станут вкупе,
14 Come together, all of you, and listen: Which of the idols has foretold these things? The LORD’s chosen ally will carry out His desire against Babylon, and His arm will be against the Chaldeans.
и соберутся вси и услышат: кто им возвести сия? Любя тя сотворих волю твою над Вавилоном, еже отяти племя Халдейско.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him. I have brought him, and he will succeed in his mission.
Аз глаголах, Аз призвах, приведох и, и благопоспешит путь его.
16 Come near to Me and listen to this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time it happened, I was there.” And now the Lord GOD has sent me, accompanied by His Spirit.
Приступите ко Мне и слышите сия, исперва не отай глаголах: егда бываху, тамо бех, и ныне Господь Господь посла Мя и Дух Его.
17 Thus says the LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who directs you in the way you should go.
Тако глаголет Господь, Избавивый тя, Святый Израилев: Аз есмь Господь Бог твой, научих тя, еже обрести тебе путь, по немуже пойдеши.
18 If only you had paid attention to My commandments, your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like waves of the sea.
И аще бы еси послушал заповедий Моих, то был бы убо аки река мир твой, и правда твоя яко волна морская,
19 Your descendants would have been as countless as the sand, and your offspring as numerous as its grains; their name would never be cut off or eliminated from My presence.”
и было бы яко песок семя твое, и изчадия чрева твоего яко персть земли: ниже ныне потребишися, ниже погибнет имя твое предо Мною.
20 Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! Declare it with a shout of joy, proclaim it, let it go out to the ends of the earth, saying, “The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob!”
Изыди от Вавилона, бежай от Халдеев: глас радости возвестите, и да слышано будет сие, возвестите даже до последних земли, глаголите: избави Господь раба Своего Иакова.
21 They did not thirst when He led them through the deserts; He made water flow for them from the rock; He split the rock, and water gushed out.
И аще вжаждут, пустынею проведет их и воду из камене изведет им: разсядется камень, и потечет вода, и испиют людие Мои.
22 “There is no peace,” says the LORD, “for the wicked.”
Несть радоватися нечестивым, глаголет Господь.
