Isaiah 44
1 And now hear, O Jacob, my servant, and Israel whom I have chosen.
Ныне же слыши, рабе Мой Иакове, и Израилю, егоже избрах.
2 Thus saith the Lord that made and formed thee, thy helper from the womb: Fear not, O my servant Jacob, and thou most righteous 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 pour out waters upon the thirsty ground, and streams upon the dry land: I will pour out my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thy stock.
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 among the herbs, as willows beside the running waters.
и прозябнут аки трава посреде воды и яко верба при воде текущей.
5 One shall say: I am the Lord’s, and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob, and another shall subscribe with his hand, To the Lord, and surname 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 the Lord the king of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts: I am the brat, and I am the last, and besides 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 to me? let him call and declare: and let him set before me the order, since I appointed the ancient people: and the things to come, and that shall be hereafter, let them shew unto them.
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 Fear ye not, neither be ye troubled, from that time I have made thee to hear, and have declared: you are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me, a maker, whom I have not known?
Не укрывайтеся, ниже заблуждайте: не исперва ли внушисте, и возвестих вам? Свидетелие вы есте, аще есть Бог разве Мене.
9 The makers of idols are all of them nothing, and their best beloved things shall not profit them. They are their witnesses, that they do not see, nor understand, that they may be ashamed.
И не послушаша тогда созидающии, и ваяющии вси тщетни, творящии желания своя, яже не упользуют их:
10 Who hath formed a god, and made a graven thing that is profitable for nothing?
но посрамятся вси созидающии бога и ваяющии вси неполезная.
11 Behold, all the partakers thereof shall be confounded: for the makers are men: they shall all assemble together, they shall stand and fear, and shall be 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 The smith hath wrought with his file, with coals, and with hammers he hath formed it, and hath wrought with the strength of his arm: he shall hunger and faint, he shall drink no water, and shall be weary.
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 carpenter hath stretched out his rule, he hath formed it with a plane: he hath made it with corners, and hath fashioned it round with the compass: and he hath made the image of a man as it were a beautiful man dwelling in a 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 hath cut down cedars, taken the holm, and the oak that stood among the trees of the forest: he hath planted the pine tree, which the rain hath nourished.
Посече древо в дубраве, еже насади Господь, сосну, и дождь возрасти,
15 And it hath served men for fuel: he took thereof, and warmed himself: and he kindled it, and baked bread: but of the rest he made a god, and adored it: he made a graven thing, and bowed down before it.
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 Part of it he burnt with fire, and with part of it he dressed his meat: he boiled pottage, and was filled, and was warmed, and said: Aha, I am warm, I 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 But the residue thereof he made a god, and a graven thing for himself: he boweth down before it, and adoreth it, and prayeth unto it, 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 not known, nor understood: for their eyes are covered that they may not see, and that they may not understand with their heart.
Не уведаша смыслити, яко отемнеша очи их еже видети и разумети сердцем своим.
19 They do not consider in their mind, nor know, nor have the thought to say: I have burnt part of it in the fire, and I have baked bread upon the coals thereof: I have broiled flesh and have eaten, and of the residue thereof shall I make an idol? shall I fall down before the stock of a tree?
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 Part thereof is ashes: his foolish heart adoreth it, and he will not save his soul, nor say: Perhaps 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, thou art my servant, O Israel, forget me not.
Помяни сия, Иакове и Израилю, яко раб Мой еси ты, сотворих тя раба Моего, и ты, Израилю, не забывай Мене.
22 I have blotted out thy iniquities as a cloud, and thy sins as a mist: return to me, for I have redeemed thee.
Се бо, отях яко облак беззакония твоя и яко примрак грехи твоя: обратися ко Мне, и избавлю тя.
23 Give praise, O ye heavens, for the Lord hath shewn mercy: shout with joy, ye ends of the earth: ye mountains, resound with praise, thou, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath 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 thy redeemer, and thy maker, from the womb: I am the Lord, that make all things, that alone stretch out the heavens, that establish the earth, and there is none with me.
Сице глаголет Господь избавляяй тя и создавый тя от чрева: Аз Господь совершаяй вся, распрострох небо един и утвердих землю.
25 That make void the tokens of diviners, and make the soothsayers mad. That turn the wise backward, and that, make their knowledge foolish.
Кто ин разсыплет знамения чревоволшебников и волшбы от сердца, отвращаяй мудрыя вспять и советы их обуяяй,
26 That raise up the word of my servant and perform the counsel of my messengers, who say to Jerusalem: Thou shalt be inhabited: and to the cities of Juda: You shall be built, and I will raise up the wastes thereof.
и уставляя глагол раба Своего, и совет вестников Своих истинен творяй? Глаголяй Иерусалиму: населишися: и градом Иудейским: возградитеся, и пустыни его просияют,
27 Who say to the deep: Be thou desolate, and I will dry up thy rivers.
глаголяй бездне: опустееши, и реки твоя изсушу,
28 Who say to Cyrus: Thou art my shepherd, and thou shalt perform all my pleasure. Who say to Jerusalem: Thou shalt be built: and to the temple: Thy foundations shall be laid.
глаголяй Киру смыслити, и вся воли Моя сотворит: глаголяй Иерусалиму: возградишися, и храм святый мой осную.
