< Isaiah 51 >

1 [Yahweh says], “You people who desire to act righteously/justly, who want to do what I want you to do, listen to me! Think about Abraham! [It is as though] [MET] he was a huge rock cliff; and when you [people of Israel became a nation], [it was as though] [MET] you were cut from that rock [DOU].
Послушайте Мене, гонящии правду и взыскающии Господа, воззрите на твердый камень, егоже изсекосте, и в юдоль потока, юже ископасте.
2 Think about your ancestor Abraham and [his wife] Sarah, of whom [all of] you are descendants. When I first spoke to Abraham, he had no children. But after I blessed him, he had a huge number of descendants.
Воззрите на Авраама отца вашего и на Сарру породившую вы: яко един бе, и призвах его, и благослових его, и возлюбих его, и умножих его.
3 [Some day I], Yahweh, will encourage his descendants [again], and I will comfort all [the people who live in] the ruins [of Jerusalem]. The desert in that area will become like Eden, like the garden that I, Yahweh, [made/planted]. All the people there will be joyful and happy; they will thank me and sing.
И тебе ныне утешу, Сионе, и утеших вся пустыни его, и поставлю пустыню его яко рай, и яже ко западом его аки рай Господень: радость и веселие обрящут в нем, исповедание и глас хваления.
4 My people of Judah, listen carefully [DOU] to me, because [I want you to] proclaim my laws; the just/right things that I do will be [like] [MET] a light for the people of the nations.
Послушайте Мене, людие Мои, послушайте, и царие, ко Мне внушите: яко закон от Мене изыдет, и суд Мой во свет языком.
5 I will soon/quickly rescue you [DOU]; by my power [MTY] I will bring you back [from being exiled in Babylonia] [DOU]. The people who live on islands in the ocean will wait for me [to help them], confidently expecting for me to use my power [MTY].
Приближается скоро правда Моя, и изыдет яко свет спасение Мое, и на мышцу Мою языцы надеятися будут: Мене острови ожидати и на мышцу Мою уповати будут.
6 Look up at the sky, and look at the earth, [and see what they are like now], because [some day] the sky will disappear like [SIM] smoke, and the earth will wear out like [SIM] old clothes wear out, and people on the earth will die like gnats/flies. But I will rescue/save you, and you will remain free forever, and I will rule you righteously/fairly forever.
Воздвигните на небо очи ваши и воззрите на землю долу, понеже небо яко дым утвердися, и земля яко риза обетшает, живущии же на земли якоже сия изомрут, спасение же Мое во век будет, и правда Моя не оскудеет.
7 You people who know what things are right to do, and who know in your inner beings [what is written in] my laws, listen to me! Do not be afraid of people who taunt/insult you; do not be disturbed/upset when people revile you,
Послушайте Мене, ведящии суд, людие Мои, имже закон Мой в сердцы вашем, не бойтеся укорения человеча и похулению их не покаряйтеся.
8 because [some day they will be destroyed] like [MET] clothing that is eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches), like wool garments that have been eaten by worms. I will save you people, and you will be saved forever.”
Якоже бо риза снедена будет временем, и яко сукно изястся мольми, правда же Моя во веки будет и спасение Мое в роды родов.
9 Yahweh, wake up [and do something for us]! Show your power! Do mighty things like you did long ago, when you stabbed [RHQ] that sea monster/dragon Rahab and cut it into pieces.
Востани, востани, Иерусалиме, и облецыся во крепость мышцы твоея, востани яко в начале дне, яко род века: не ты ли еси победил гордаго и расторгнул змиа?
10 Surely you are [RHQ] the one who caused the [Red] Sea to become dry and made a path through that deep water in order that your people could cross it!
Не ты ли еси опустошаяй море, воду бездны многу? Положивый глубины морския путь прохода изятым и избавленым?
11 And those whom Yahweh will rescue [from being exiled in Babylonia] will [similarly] return to Jerusalem, singing. Their being joyful forever will be [like] [MET] a crown on their heads. They will not be sad or mourn any more; they will be [completely] joyful and happy.
Господем бо возвратятся и приидут в Сион с радостию и со веселием вечным: на главе бо их веселие и хвала, и радость приимет я: отбеже болезнь и печаль и воздыхание.
12 [Yahweh says], “I am the one who encourages you. So (why are you/you should not be) [RHQ] afraid of humans who will [wither and disappear like] [MET] grass.
Аз есмь, Аз есмь Утешаяй тя: разумей, кто сый убоялся еси человека смертна и сына человеча, иже яко трава изсхоша,
13 (Why have you/You should not have) [RHQ] forgotten [me], Yahweh, the one who created your nation, the one who stretched out the sky and laid the foundations of the earth. (Why are you/You should not be) [RHQ] continually afraid of those who are angry with you and (oppress you/treat you cruelly) and want to get rid of you. [You should not be afraid of them now], because those angry people have now disappeared!
и забыл еси Бога Создавшаго тя, Сотворшаго небо и основавшаго землю: и боялся еси присно во вся дни лица ярости стужающаго тебе: како бо восхоте взяти тя, и ныне где ярость стужающаго тебе?
14 Soon you people who have been caused to be slaves [in Babylonia] will be freed! You will not remain in prison, and you will not die of hunger,
Внегда бо спастися тебе, не станет, ниже умедлит:
15 because I am Yahweh, your God, the one who stirs up the sea and causes the waves to roar; I am the Commander of the armies of angels!
яко Аз Бог твой, возмущаяй море и творяй шум волнам его: Господь Саваоф имя Мне.
16 I have given you my message [MTY] to proclaim, and I have protected you with my hand [MTY]. I stretched out the sky and laid the foundation of the earth. And I am the one who says to you Israeli people, ‘You are my people!’”
Положу словеса Моя во уста твоя и под сению руки Моея покрыю тя, еюже поставих небо и основах землю: и речет Сиону: людие Мои есте вы.
17 [You people of] [APO] Jerusalem, wake up [DOU]! You have experienced Yahweh severely punishing [MTY] you. Yahweh has caused you to suffer much, all that he wanted you to suffer, like [MET] someone who causes another person to suffer by forcing him to drink every drop of [MTY] a cupful of bitter liquid.
Востани, востани, воскресени, Иерусалиме, испивый чашу ярости от руки Господни: чашу бо падения, фиал ярости испил и истощил еси,
18 [Now] you do not have any children who are alive [DOU] and able to take your hand and guide you.
и не бысть утешаяй тебе от всех чад твоих, яже родил еси, и не бысть подемлющаго руки твоея, ниже от всех сынов твоих, ихже вознесл еси.
19 You have experienced several disasters: Your country has become desolate/deserted; [your cities have been] destroyed; [many people have] died from hunger; [many people have been] killed by your enemies’ swords. Now, there is no one [RHQ] left to console/comfort you and sympathize with you.
Два сия противна тебе, кто сожалеет тебе? Падение и сокрушение, глад и мечь, кто утешит тя?
20 Your children have fainted and lie in the streets; they are [as helpless as] [SIM] an antelope [that has been caught] in a net. What has happened to them is because Yahweh has been very angry with them; he has rebuked them severely.
Сынове твои обнищавшии, седяще на краи всякаго исхода, яко свекла недовареная, исполнени ярости Господни, разслаблени Господем Богом.
21 So now, you people who have suffered much, [you act as though] you are drunk, but it is not because you have drunk a lot of wine.
Сего ради слыши, смиренный и упивыйся не вином:
22 Yahweh, your Lord and your God, the one who argues/pleads your case, says this: “Note this: [It is as though] [MET] I have taken that cup of bitter liquid from your hands; I will not be angry with you and cause you to suffer any more.
тако глаголет Господь Бог судяй людем Своим: се, взях от руки твоея чашу падения, фиал ярости Моея, и не приложиши ксему пити ея:
23 Instead, I will cause those who have tormented you to suffer; [I will severely punish] those who said to you, ‘Prostrate yourselves in order that we may walk on you; [lie down on your stomachs] in order that your backs will be like [SIM] streets that we can walk on.’”
и вложу ю в руце преобидевших тя и смиривших тя, иже рекоша души твоей: преклонися, да минем: и положил еси равно земли плещы твоя отвне мимоходящым.
