Isaiah 55
1 All you who thirst, come to the waters. And you who have no money: hurry, buy and eat. Approach, buy wine and milk, without money and without barter.
Жаждущии, идите на воду, и елицы не имате сребра, шедше купите, и ядите (и пийте) без сребра и цены вино и тук.
2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and expend your labor for what does not satisfy? Listen very closely to me, and eat what is good, and then your soul will be delighted by a full measure.
Вскую цените сребро не в хлебы, и труд ваш не в сытость? Послушайте Мене, и снесте благая, и насладится во благих душа ваша.
3 Incline your ear and draw near to me. Listen, and your soul will live. And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, by the faithful mercies of David.
Внемлите ушима вашима и последуйте путем Моим: послушайте Мене, и жива будет во благих душа ваша, и завещаю вам завет вечен, преподобная Давидова верная.
4 Behold, I have presented him as a witness to the people, as a commander and instructor to the nations.
Се, свидетелство во языцех дах Его, князя и повелителя языком.
5 Behold, you will call to a nation that you did not know. And nations that did not know you will rush to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel. For he has glorified you.
Се, языцы, иже не ведяху тебе, призовут тя, и людие, иже не познаша тебе, ко тебе прибегнут ради Господа Бога твоего, Святаго Израилева, яко прослави тя.
6 Seek the Lord, while he is able to be found. Call upon him, while he is near.
Взыщите Господа, и внегда обрести вам Того, призовите: егда же приближится к вам,
7 Let the impious one abandon his way, and the iniquitous man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and he will take pity on him, and to our God, for he is great in forgiveness.
да оставит нечестивый пути своя, и муж беззаконен советы своя, и да обратится ко Господу, и помилован будет, яко попремногу оставит грехи вашя.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways, says the Lord.
Не суть бо совети Мои якоже совети ваши, ниже якоже путие ваши путие Мои, глаголет Господь.
9 For just as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so also are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
Но якоже отстоит небо от земли, тако отстоит путь Мой от путий ваших, и помышления ваша от мысли Моея.
10 And in the same manner as rain and snow descend from heaven, and no longer return there, but soak the earth, and water it, and cause it to bloom and to provide seed to the sower and bread to the hungry,
Якоже бо аще снидет дождь или снег с небесе, и не возвратится, дондеже напоит землю, и родит, и прозябнет, и даст семя сеющему и хлеб в снедь:
11 so also will my word be, which will go forth from my mouth. It will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish whatever I will, and it will prosper in the tasks for which I sent it.
тако будет глаголгол Мой, иже аще изыдет из уст Моих, не возвратится ко Мне тощь, дондеже совершит (вся), елика восхотех, и поспешу пути твоя и заповеди Моя.
12 For you will go forth rejoicing, and you will be led forward in peace. The mountains and the hills will sing praise before you, and all the trees of the countryside will clap their hands.
Со веселием бо изыдете и с радостию научитеся: горы бо и холми возскачут ждуще вас с радостию, и вся древеса селная восплещут ветвьми:
13 In place of the shrub, the pine tree will arise, and in place of the nettle, the myrtle tree will grow. And the Lord will be named with an eternal sign, which will not be taken away.
и вместо драчия взыдет кипарис, и вместо кропивы взыдет мирсина: и будет Господь во имя и во знамение вечное, и не оскудеет.
