Isaiah 49
1 Listen to Me, O islands; pay attention, O distant peoples: The LORD called Me from the womb; from the body of My mother He named Me.
Послушайте Мене, острови, и внемлите, языцы. Временем многим стояти будет, глаголет Господь: от чрева матере Моея нарече имя Мое,
2 He made My mouth like a sharp sword; He hid Me in the shadow of His hand. He made Me like a polished arrow; He hid Me in His quiver.
и положи уста Моя яко мечь остр, и под кровом руки Своея скры Мя: положи Мя яко стрелу избранну, и в туле своем скры Мя,
3 He said to Me, “You are My Servant, Israel, in whom I will display My glory.”
и рече Ми: раб Мой еси Ты, Израилю, и в Тебе прославлюся.
4 But I said, “I have labored in vain, I have spent My strength in futility and vanity; yet My vindication is with the LORD, and My reward is with My God.”
Аз же рекох: вотще трудихся, всуе и ни во что дах крепость Мою: сего ради суд Мой пред Господем и труд Мой пред Богом Моим.
5 And now says the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, that Israel might be gathered to Him— for I am honored in the sight of the LORD, and My God is My strength—
И ныне тако глаголет Господь, создавый Мя от чрева раба Себе, еже собрати Иакова к Нему и Израиля: соберуся и прославлюся пред Господем, и Бог Мой будет Мне крепость.
6 He says: “It is not enough for You to be My Servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the protected ones of Israel. I will also make You a light for the nations, to bring My salvation to the ends of the earth.”
И рече Ми: велие Ти есть, еже назватися Тебе рабом Моим, еже возставити племена Иаковля и разсеяние Израилево обратити: се, дах Тя в завет рода, во свет языком, еже быти Тебе во спасение даже до последних земли.
7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to Him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the Servant of rulers: “Kings will see You and rise, and princes will bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen You.”
Тако глаголет Господь, Избавивый Тя Бог Израилев: освятите уничижающаго душу Свою, гнушаемаго от язык рабов княжеских: царие узрят Его, и востанут князи и поклонятся Ему Господа ради, яко верен есть Святый Израилев, и избрах Тя.
8 This is what the LORD says: “In the time of favor I will answer You, and in the day of salvation I will help You; I will keep You and appoint You to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land, to apportion its desolate inheritances,
Тако глаголет Господь: во время приятно послушах Тебе и в день спасения помогох Ти, и сотворих Тя и дах Тя в завет вечный языков, еже устроити землю и наследити наследия пустыни,
9 to say to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’ They will feed along the pathways, and find pasture on every barren hill.
глаголюща сущым во узах: изыдите, и сущым во тме: открыйтеся. На всех путех пастися будут, и на всех стезях пажить их:
10 They will not hunger or thirst, nor will scorching heat or sun beat down on them. For He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.
не взалчут, ниже вжаждут, ниже поразит их зной, ниже солнце, но Милуяй их утешит их и сквозе источники водныя проведет их.
11 I will turn all My mountains into roads, and My highways will be raised up.
И положу всяку гору в путь и всяку стезю в паству им.
12 Behold, they will come from far away, from the north and from the west, and from the land of Aswan.”
Се, сии издалеча приидут, сии от севера и от моря, инии же от земли Персския.
13 Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; break forth in song, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted His people, and He will have compassion on His afflicted ones.
Радуйтеся, небеса, и веселися, земле, да отрыгнут горы веселие и холми правду, яко помилова Бог люди Своя и смиренныя людий Своих утеши.
14 But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me; the Lord has forgotten me!”
Рече же Сион: остави мя Господь, и Бог забы мя.
15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you!
Еда забудет жена отроча свое, еже не помиловати изчадия чрева своего? Аще же и забудет сих жена, но Аз не забуду тебе, глаголет Господь.
16 Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before Me.
Се, на руках Моих написах стены твоя, и предо Мною еси присно,
17 Your builders hasten back; your destroyers and wreckers depart from you.
и вскоре возградишися, от нихже разорился еси, и опустошившии тя изыдут из тебе.
18 Lift up your eyes and look around. They all gather together; they come to you. As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “you will wear them all as jewelry and put them on like a bride.
Возведи окрест очи твои и виждь вся, се, собрашася приидоша к тебе, живу Аз, глаголет Господь: яко всеми ими аки в красоту облечешися и обложиши себе ими яко утварию невеста.
19 For your ruined and desolate places and your ravaged land will now indeed be too small for your people, and those who devoured you will be far away.
Понеже пустая твоя и разсыпаная и падшая ныне утеснеют от обитающих, и удалятся от тебе поглощающии тя.
20 Yet the children of your bereavement will say in your hearing, ‘This place is too small for us; make room for us to live here.’
Рекут бо во ушы твои сынове твои, ихже был погубил еси: тесно ми место, сотвори ми место, да вселюся.
21 Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has begotten these for me? I was bereaved and barren; I was exiled and rejected. So who has reared them? Look, I was left all alone, so where did they come from?’”
И речеши в сердцы своем: кто мне породи сих? Аз же безчадна и вдова, сих же кто воспита мне? Аз же остахся едина, сии же мне где быша?
22 This is what the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and raise My banner to the peoples. They will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders.
Тако глаголет Господь Господь: се, воздвизаю на языки руку Мою и на островы воздвигну знамение Мое, и приведут сыны твоя в лоне и дщери твоя на плещах возмут.
23 Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow to you facedown and lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in Me will never be put to shame.”
И будут царие кормителие твои, и княгини их кормилицы твоя: до лица земли поклонятся тебе и прах ног твоих оближут, и увеси, яко Аз Господь Бог, и не посрамятся терпящии Мя.
24 Can the plunder be snatched from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?
Еда возмет кто от исполина корысти? И аще кто пленит неправедне, спасетлися?
25 Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Even the captives of the mighty will be taken away, and the plunder of the tyrant will be retrieved; I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.
Зане тако глаголет Господь: аще кто пленит исполина, возмет корысти: вземляй же от крепкаго спасется: Аз же прю твою разсужду и Аз сыны твоя избавлю:
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
и оскорбившии тебе снедят плоть свою и испиют яко вино ново кровь свою, и упиются: и увесть всяка плоть, яко Аз Господь Избавивый тя и заступаяй крепость Иаковлю.
