Isaiah 46
1 [It is as though] Bel and Nebo, the statues of the gods [of Babylonia], are bowing down as those statues are put on animals and carried away! The statues are heavy burdens and will cause the animals to become tired [SAR]!
Паде Вил, сокрушися Дагон, быша ваяния их во звери и скоты: носите я связана яко бремя труждающемуся и разслабевшу,
2 [It seems like] both gods are bowing down; not only can they not save themselves, but they themselves are being (exiled/taken to another country)!
и алчущу и не могущу вкупе, иже не возмогут спастися от рати, сами же пленени приведошася.
3 [Yahweh says], “You descendants of Jacob who were exiled, [I am not like the gods of Babylonia that must be carried]; [instead, it is as though] I have carried you since you first became a nation [MET]. I carried you [even] before you became a nation.
Послушайте Мене, доме Иаковль и весь останок Израилев, носимии от чрева и наказуемии от детска даже до старости:
4 I will be your God, and I will carry you for many years, until [it is as though] [MET] your nation is an old man with gray hair. I caused [you to become a nation], and I will sustain you and rescue you.
Аз есмь, и дондеже состареетеся, Аз есмь, Аз терплю вам, Аз сотворих и Аз понесу, Аз подиму и спасу вы.
5 There is certainly [RHQ] no one to whom I can be compared. There is [RHQ] no one who is equal to me [DOU].
Кому Мя уподобисте? Видите, ухитрите, заблуждающии,
6 [So it is stupid/ridiculous that] some people pour out gold and silver from their bags and weigh it on a scale. [Then] they hire a man who makes things from gold to make an idol from it. [After he makes an idol], they bow down and worship it!
слагающии злато из меха, и сребро весом поставляют в мериле, и наемше златаря сотвориша рукотворенная, и преклоншеся покланяются им:
7 They lift it up and carry it on their shoulders. They put it in a [special] place, and it stays there. It cannot move! And when someone prays to it, it does not answer. So [obviously] it cannot rescue anyone from his troubles!
воздвижут я на рамех и ходят: аще же положат я на месте своем, ту лежат, ниже подвижутся: и иже аще возопиет к ним, не услышат, от бед не спасут его.
8 [You people of Judah], do not forget this; keep thinking about it, you sinful people!
Помяните сия и возстените, покайтеся, прельстившиися, обратитеся сердцем
9 Think about the things [that I did] long ago. Only I am God; I am God, and there is no one like me.
и помяните первая от века, яко Аз есмь Бог, и несть еще разве Мене:
10 Only I can tell what will happen in the future before it occurs; I tell it long before it happens. I will accomplish everything that I plan to accomplish, and I will do everything that I want to do.
возвещаяй первее последняя, прежде неже быти им, и абие сбышася: и рекох: весь совет Мой станет, и вся, елика совещах, сотворю.
11 So I will summon [someone to come] from the east [like a swift and powerful] eagle; he will come from a distant country. He will accomplish what I want him to. [He is the one who] will do what I have said that I want him to do, what I have planned.
Призываяй от восток птицу, и от земли издалеча, о нихже совещах: рекох и приведох, создах и сотворих, приведох и и благопоспеших путь его.
12 You stubborn people [of Israel], [you think that] it will be a long time before you are allowed to return to your own country.
Послушайте Мене, погубльшии сердце, сущии далече от правды:
13 But I will rescue you, and it will not be a long time [before that happens]. I will do it soon. I will rescue Jerusalem and show to you Israeli [people] that I am glorious.”
приближих правду Мою, и не удалится, и спасение, еже от Мене, не умедлю: дах в Сионе спасение Израилю во прославление.
