Isaiah 44
1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
Ныне же слыши, рабе Мой Иакове, и Израилю, егоже избрах.
2 Thus says the LORD that made you, and formed you from the womb, which will help you; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and you, Jesurun, 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 water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon your seed, and my blessing upon your offspring:
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 among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
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 unto 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 says the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and 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 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show 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 all of you not, neither be afraid: have not I told you from that time, and have declared it? all of you are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Не укрывайтеся, ниже заблуждайте: не исперва ли внушисте, и возвестих вам? Свидетелие вы есте, аще есть Бог разве Мене.
9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
И не послушаша тогда созидающии, и ваяющии вси тщетни, творящии желания своя, яже не упользуют их:
10 Who has formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
но посрамятся вси созидающии бога и ваяющии вси неполезная.
11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed 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 with the tongs both works in the coals, and fashions it with hammers, and works it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength fails: he drinks no water, and is faint.
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 stretches out his rule; he marks it out with a line; he fits it with planes, and he marks it out with the compass, and makes it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain 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 hews him down cedars, and takes the cypress and the oak, which he strengthens for himself among the trees of the forest: he plants an ash, and the rain does nourish it.
Посече древо в дубраве, еже насади Господь, сосну, и дождь возрасти,
15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindles it, and bakes bread; yea, he makes a god, and worships it; he makes it a graven image, and falls down thereto.
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 He burns part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eats flesh; he roasts roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warms himself, and says, 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 And the residue thereof he makes a god, even his graven image: he falls down unto it, and worships it, and prays unto it, and says, Deliver me; for you are 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 he has shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
Не уведаша смыслити, яко отемнеша очи их еже видети и разумети сердцем своим.
19 And none considers in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to 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 He feeds on ashes: a deceived heart has turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not 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, O Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant: I have formed you; you are my servant: O Israel, you shall not be forgotten of me.
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, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed you.
Се бо, отях яко облак беззакония твоя и яко примрак грехи твоя: обратися ко Мне, и избавлю тя.
23 Sing, O all of you heavens; for the LORD has done it: shout, all of you lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, all of you mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
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 says the LORD, your redeemer, and he that formed you from the womb, I am the LORD that makes all things; that stretches forth the heavens alone; that spreads abroad the earth by myself;
Сице глаголет Господь избавляяй тя и создавый тя от чрева: Аз Господь совершаяй вся, распрострох небо един и утвердих землю.
25 That frustrates the tokens of the liars, and makes diviners mad; that turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolish;
Кто ин разсыплет знамения чревоволшебников и волшбы от сердца, отвращаяй мудрыя вспять и советы их обуяяй,
26 That confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; that says to Jerusalem, You shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, All of you shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:
и уставляя глагол раба Своего, и совет вестников Своих истинен творяй? Глаголяй Иерусалиму: населишися: и градом Иудейским: возградитеся, и пустыни его просияют,
27 That says to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up your rivers:
глаголяй бездне: опустееши, и реки твоя изсушу,
28 That says of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, You shall be built; and to the temple, Your foundation shall be laid.
глаголяй Киру смыслити, и вся воли Моя сотворит: глаголяй Иерусалиму: возградишися, и храм святый мой осную.
