Esias 44
1 But now hear, Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen.
Ныне же слыши, рабе Мой Иакове, и Израилю, егоже избрах.
2 Thus saith the Lord God that made thee, and he that formed thee from the womb; Thou shalt yet be helped: fear not, my servant Jacob; and beloved Israel, whom I have chosen.
Сице глаголет Господь Бог сотворивый тя и создавый тя из утробы: еще поможет ти: не бойся, рабе Мой Иакове, и возлюбленный Израилю, егоже избрах.
3 For I will give water to the thirsty that walk in a dry land: I will put my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessings upon thy children:
Яко Аз дам воду в жажду ходящым в безводней, наложу дух Мой на семя твое и благословения Моя на чада твоя,
4 and they shall spring up as grass between brooks, and as willows on [the banks of] running water.
и прозябнут аки трава посреде воды и яко верба при воде текущей.
5 One shall say, I am God's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand, I am God's, and shall call himself by the name of Israel.
Сей речет: Божий есмь: и сей возопиет о имени Иаковли, и другий напишет рукою своею: Божий есмь: и о имени Израилеве возопиет.
6 Thus saith God the King of Israel, and the God of hosts that delivered him; I am the first, and I am hereafter: beside me there is no God.
Сице глаголет Бог Царь Израилев, и Избавлей его Бог Саваоф: Аз первый и Аз по сих, кроме Мене несть Бога:
7 Who is like me? let him stand, and call, and declare, and prepare for me from the time that I made man for ever; and let them tell you the things that are coming before they arrive.
кто якоже Аз? Да станет и да призовет, и да возвестит и да уготовит Ми, отнележе сотворих человека во век, и грядущая прежде неже приити им, да возвестят вам.
8 Hide not yourselves, nor go astray: have ye not heard from the beginning, and [have not] I told you? ye are witnesses if there is a God beside me.
Не укрывайтеся, ниже заблуждайте: не исперва ли внушисте, и возвестих вам? Свидетелие вы есте, аще есть Бог разве Мене.
9 But they that framed [false gods] did not then hearken; and they that graved [images] are all vain, performing their own desires, which shall not profit them, but they shall be ashamed
И не послушаша тогда созидающии, и ваяющии вси тщетни, творящии желания своя, яже не упользуют их:
10 that form a god, and all that grave worthless things:
но посрамятся вси созидающии бога и ваяющии вси неполезная.
11 and all by whom they were made are withered: yea, let all the deaf be gathered from [among] men, and let them stand together; and let them be ashamed and confounded together:
И вси, отнюдуже быша, изсхоша: и глусии от человек да соберутся вси и да станут вкупе, и да посрамятся и устыдятся вкупе.
12 For the artificer sharpens the iron; he fashions [the idol] with an axe, and fixes it with an awl, and fashions it with the strength of his arm: and he will be hungry and weak, and will drink no water.
Яко наостри древоделатель сечиво, теслою содела оное, и свердлом состави е, и длатом издолбе е, и содела е крепостию мышцы своея: и взалчет, и изнеможет, и не напиется воды.
13 The artificer having chosen a piece of wood, marks it out with a rule, and fits it with glue, and makes it as the form of a man, and as the beauty of a man, to set it up in the house.
И избрав древоделя древо, постави в меру, и клеем сострои е, и сотвори е аки образ мужеск и аки красоту человечу, поставити е в дому.
14 He cuts wood out of the forest, which the Lord planted, [even] a pine tree, and the rain made it grow,
Посече древо в дубраве, еже насади Господь, сосну, и дождь возрасти,
15 that it might be for men to burn: and having taken part of it he warms himself; yea, they burn part of it, and bake loaves thereon; and [of] the rest they make for themselves gods, and they worship them.
да будет человеком на жжение: и взяв от него, согреся, и изжегше я, испекоша ими хлебы, из оставшаго же сотвориша боги и покланяются им: сотвори е изваянное, и прекланяется им.
16 Half thereof he burns in the fire, and with half of it he bakes loaves on the coals; and having roasted flesh on it he eats, and is satisfied, and having warmed himself he says, I am comfortable, for I have warmed myself, and have seen the fire.
Пол его сожже огнем, и пол его сожже на углие, и испече в них хлебы, и на них испече мясо, и яде, и насытися, и согревся рече: сладко мне, яко согрехся и видех огнь.
17 And the rest he makes a graven god, and worships, and prays, saying, Deliver me; for thou art my God.
Из оставшаго же сотвори бога изваянна, прекланяется ему и покланяется, и молится ему глаголя: избави мя, яко бог мой еси ты.
18 They have no understanding to perceive; for they have been blinded so that they should not see with their eyes, nor perceive with their heart.
Не уведаша смыслити, яко отемнеша очи их еже видети и разумети сердцем своим.
19 And one has not considered in his mind, nor known in his understanding, that he has burnt up half of it in the fire, and baked loaves on the coals thereof and has roasted and eaten flesh, and of the rest of it he has made an abomination, and they worship it.
И не помысли в души своей, ни уведе смышлением, яко пол его сожже огнем, и испече на углиех его хлебы, и испек мяса снеде, и оставшее его в мерзость сотвори, и покланяются ему.
20 Know thou that their heart is ashes, and they err, and no one is able to deliver his soul: see, ye will not say, [There is a] lie in my right hand.
Увеждь, яко пепел есть сердце их, и прельщаются, и ни един может души своея избавити: видите, не рцыте, яко лжа в деснице моей.
21 Remember these things, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant; I have formed thee [to be] my servant: and do thou, Israel, not forget me.
Помяни сия, Иакове и Израилю, яко раб Мой еси ты, сотворих тя раба Моего, и ты, Израилю, не забывай Мене.
22 For behold, I have blotted out as a cloud thy transgressions, and thy sin as darkness: turn to me, and I will redeem thee.
Се бо, отях яко облак беззакония твоя и яко примрак грехи твоя: обратися ко Мне, и избавлю тя.
23 Rejoice, ye heavens; for God has had mercy upon Israel: sound the trumpet, ye foundations of the earth: ye mountains, shout [with] joy, ye hills, and all the trees therein: for God has redeemed Jacob, and Israel shall be glorified.
Возвеселитеся, небеса, яко помилова Бог Израиля: вострубите, основания земная, возопийте, горы, веселие, холми и вся древеса, яже на них: яко избави Бог Иакова, и Израиль прославится.
24 Thus saith the Lord that redeems thee, and who formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that performs all things: I stretched out the heaven alone, and established the earth.
Сице глаголет Господь избавляяй тя и создавый тя от чрева: Аз Господь совершаяй вся, распрострох небо един и утвердих землю.
25 Who else will frustrate the tokens of those that have divining spirits, and prophecies from the heart of [man]? turning the wise back, and making their counsel foolishness;
Кто ин разсыплет знамения чревоволшебников и волшбы от сердца, отвращаяй мудрыя вспять и советы их обуяяй,
26 and confirming the word of his servant, and verifying the counsel of his messengers: who says to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Idumea, Ye shall be built, and her desert places shall spring forth.
и уставляя глагол раба Своего, и совет вестников Своих истинен творяй? Глаголяй Иерусалиму: населишися: и градом Иудейским: возградитеся, и пустыни его просияют,
27 Who says to the deep, Thou shalt be dried up, and I will dry up the rivers.
глаголяй бездне: опустееши, и реки твоя изсушу,
28 Who bids Cyrus be wise, and he shall perform all my will: who says to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built, and I will lay the foundation of my holy house.
глаголяй Киру смыслити, и вся воли Моя сотворит: глаголяй Иерусалиму: возградишися, и храм святый мой осную.
