< Isaiah 51 >
1 Give ear to me, you who are searching for righteousness, who are looking for the Lord: see the rock from which you were cut out, and the hole out of which you were taken.
Послушайте Мене, гонящии правду и взыскающии Господа, воззрите на твердый камень, егоже изсекосте, и в юдоль потока, юже ископасте.
2 Let your thoughts be turned to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth: for when he was but one, my voice came to him, and I gave him my blessing, and made him a great people.
Воззрите на Авраама отца вашего и на Сарру породившую вы: яко един бе, и призвах его, и благослових его, и возлюбих его, и умножих его.
3 For the Lord has given comfort to Zion: he has made glad all her broken walls; making her waste places like Eden, and changing her dry land into the garden of the Lord; joy and delight will be there, praise and the sound of melody.
И тебе ныне утешу, Сионе, и утеших вся пустыни его, и поставлю пустыню его яко рай, и яже ко западом его аки рай Господень: радость и веселие обрящут в нем, исповедание и глас хваления.
4 Give attention to me, O my people; and give ear to me, O my nation; for teaching will go out from me, and the knowledge of the true God will be a light to the peoples.
Послушайте Мене, людие Мои, послушайте, и царие, ко Мне внушите: яко закон от Мене изыдет, и суд Мой во свет языком.
5 Suddenly will my righteousness come near, and my salvation will be shining out like the light; the sea-lands will be waiting for me, and they will put their hope in my strong arm.
Приближается скоро правда Моя, и изыдет яко свет спасение Мое, и на мышцу Мою языцы надеятися будут: Мене острови ожидати и на мышцу Мою уповати будут.
6 Let your eyes be lifted up to the heavens, and turned to the earth which is under them: for the heavens will go in flight like smoke, and the earth will become old like a coat, and its people will come to destruction like insects: but my salvation will be for ever, and my righteousness will not come to an end.
Воздвигните на небо очи ваши и воззрите на землю долу, понеже небо яко дым утвердися, и земля яко риза обетшает, живущии же на земли якоже сия изомрут, спасение же Мое во век будет, и правда Моя не оскудеет.
7 Give ear to me, you who have knowledge of righteousness, in whose heart is my law; have no fear of the evil words of men, and give no thought to their curses.
Послушайте Мене, ведящии суд, людие Мои, имже закон Мой в сердцы вашем, не бойтеся укорения человеча и похулению их не покаряйтеся.
8 For like a coat they will be food for the insect, the worm will make a meal of them like wool: but my righteousness will be for ever, and my salvation to all generations.
Якоже бо риза снедена будет временем, и яко сукно изястся мольми, правда же Моя во веки будет и спасение Мое в роды родов.
9 Awake! awake! put on strength, O arm of the Lord, awake! as in the old days, in the generations long past. Was it not by you that Rahab was cut in two, and the dragon Wounded?
Востани, востани, Иерусалиме, и облецыся во крепость мышцы твоея, востани яко в начале дне, яко род века: не ты ли еси победил гордаго и расторгнул змиа?
10 Did you not make the sea dry, the waters of the great deep? did you not make the deep waters of the sea a way for the Lord's people to go through?
Не ты ли еси опустошаяй море, воду бездны многу? Положивый глубины морския путь прохода изятым и избавленым?
11 Those whom the Lord has made free will come back with songs to Zion; and on their heads will be eternal joy: delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.
Господем бо возвратятся и приидут в Сион с радостию и со веселием вечным: на главе бо их веселие и хвала, и радость приимет я: отбеже болезнь и печаль и воздыхание.
12 I, even I, am your comforter: are you so poor in heart as to be in fear of man who will come to an end, and of the son of man who will be like grass?
Аз есмь, Аз есмь Утешаяй тя: разумей, кто сый убоялся еси человека смертна и сына человеча, иже яко трава изсхоша,
13 And you have given no thought to the Lord your Maker, by whom the heavens were stretched out, and the earth placed on its base; and you went all day in fear of the wrath of the cruel one, when he was making ready for your destruction. And where is the wrath of the cruel one?
и забыл еси Бога Создавшаго тя, Сотворшаго небо и основавшаго землю: и боялся еси присно во вся дни лица ярости стужающаго тебе: како бо восхоте взяти тя, и ныне где ярость стужающаго тебе?
14 The prisoner, bent under his chain, will quickly be made free, and will not go down into the underworld, and his bread will not come to an end.
Внегда бо спастися тебе, не станет, ниже умедлит:
15 For I am the Lord your God, who makes the sea calm when its waves are thundering: the Lord of armies is his name.
яко Аз Бог твой, возмущаяй море и творяй шум волнам его: Господь Саваоф имя Мне.
16 And I have put my words in your mouth, covering you with the shade of my hand, stretching out the heavens, and placing the earth on its base, and saying to Zion, You are my people.
Положу словеса Моя во уста твоя и под сению руки Моея покрыю тя, еюже поставих небо и основах землю: и речет Сиону: людие Мои есте вы.
17 Awake! awake! up! O Jerusalem, you who have taken from the Lord's hand the cup of his wrath; tasting in full measure the wine which overcomes.
Востани, востани, воскресени, Иерусалиме, испивый чашу ярости от руки Господни: чашу бо падения, фиал ярости испил и истощил еси,
18 She has no one among all her children to be her guide; not one of the sons she has taken care of takes her by the hand.
и не бысть утешаяй тебе от всех чад твоих, яже родил еси, и не бысть подемлющаго руки твоея, ниже от всех сынов твоих, ихже вознесл еси.
19 These two things have come on you; who will be weeping for you? wasting and destruction; death from need of food, and from the sword; how may you be comforted?
Два сия противна тебе, кто сожалеет тебе? Падение и сокрушение, глад и мечь, кто утешит тя?
20 Your sons are overcome, like a roe in a net; they are full of the wrath of the Lord, the punishment of your God.
Сынове твои обнищавшии, седяще на краи всякаго исхода, яко свекла недовареная, исполнени ярости Господни, разслаблени Господем Богом.
21 So now give ear to this, you who are troubled and overcome, but not with wine:
Сего ради слыши, смиренный и упивыйся не вином:
22 This is the word of the Lord your master, even your God who takes up the cause of his people: See, I have taken out of your hand the cup which overcomes, even the cup of my wrath; it will not again be given to you:
тако глаголет Господь Бог судяй людем Своим: се, взях от руки твоея чашу падения, фиал ярости Моея, и не приложиши ксему пити ея:
23 And I will put it into the hand of your cruel masters, and of those whose yoke has been hard on you; who have said to your soul, Down on your face! so that we may go over you: and you have given your backs like the earth, even like the street, for them to go over.
и вложу ю в руце преобидевших тя и смиривших тя, иже рекоша души твоей: преклонися, да минем: и положил еси равно земли плещы твоя отвне мимоходящым.
