< Isaiah 1 >

1 [I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
Видение Исаии, сына Амосова, которое он видел о Иудее и Иерусалиме, во дни Озии, Иоафама, Ахаза, Езекии - царей Иудейских.
2 This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
Слушайте, небеса, и внимай, земля, потому что Господь говорит: Я воспитал и возвысил сыновей, а они возмутились против Меня.
3 Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
Вол знает владетеля своего, и осел - ясли господина своего; а Израиль не знает Меня, народ Мой не разумеет.
4 Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
Увы, народ грешный, народ обремененный беззакониями, племя злодеев, сыны погибельные! Оставили Господа, презрели Святаго Израилева, - повернулись назад.
5 Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
Во что вас бить еще, продолжающие свое упорство? Вся голова в язвах, и все сердце исчахло.
6 [It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
От подошвы ноги до темени головы нет у него здорового места: язвы, пятна, гноящиеся раны, неочищенные и необвязанные и не смягченные елеем.
7 [It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
Земля ваша опустошена; города ваши сожжены огнем; поля ваши в ваших глазах съедают чужие; все опустело, как после разорения чужими.
8 The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
И осталась дщерь Сиона, как шатер в винограднике, как шалаш в огороде, как осажденный город.
9 If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
Если бы Господь Саваоф не оставил нам небольшого остатка, то мы были бы то же, что Содом, уподобились бы Гоморре.
10 You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
Слушайте слово Господне, князья Содомские; внимай закону Бога нашего, народ Гоморрский!
11 He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
К чему Мне множество жертв ваших? говорит Господь. Я пресыщен всесожжениями овнов и туком откормленного скота, и крови тельцов и агнцев и козлов не хочу.
12 When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
Когда вы приходите являться пред лице Мое, кто требует от вас, чтобы вы топтали дворы Мои?
13 Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
Не носите больше даров тщетных: курение отвратительно для Меня; новомесячий и суббот, праздничных собраний не могу терпеть: беззаконие - и празднование!
14 I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
Новомесячия ваши и праздники ваши ненавидит душа Моя: они бремя для Меня; Мне тяжело нести их.
15 [So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
И когда вы простираете руки ваши, Я закрываю от вас очи Мои; и когда вы умножаете моления ваши, Я не слышу: ваши руки полны крови.
16 Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
Омойтесь, очиститесь; удалите злые деяния ваши от очей Моих; перестаньте делать зло;
17 Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
научитесь делать добро, ищите правды, спасайте угнетенного, защищайте сироту, вступайтесь за вдову.
18 Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
Тогда придите - и рассудим, говорит Господь. Если будут грехи ваши, как багряное, - как снег убелю; если будут красны, как пурпур, - как волну убелю.
19 If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
Если захотите и послушаетесь, то будете вкушать блага земли;
20 But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
если же отречетесь и будете упорствовать, то меч пожрет вас: ибо уста Господни говорят.
21 “[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
Как сделалась блудницею верная столица, исполненная правосудия! Правда обитала в ней, а теперь - убийцы.
22 Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
Серебро твое стало изгарью, вино твое испорчено водою;
23 Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
князья твои - законопреступники и сообщники воров; все они любят подарки и гоняются за мздою; не защищают сироты, и дело вдовы не доходит до них.
24 Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
Посему говорит Господь, Господь Саваоф, Сильный Израилев: о, удовлетворю Я Себя над противниками Моими и отмщу врагам Моим!
25 I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
И обращу на тебя руку Мою и, как в щелочи, очищу с тебя примесь, и отделю от тебя все свинцовое;
26 [After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
и опять буду поставлять тебе судей, как прежде, и советников, как вначале; тогда будут говорить о тебе: “город правды, столица верная”.
27 Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
Сион спасется правосудием, и обратившиеся сыны его - правдою;
28 But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
всем же отступникам и грешникам погибель, и оставившие Господа истребятся.
29 You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
Они будут постыжены за дубравы, которые столь вожделенны для вас, и посрамлены за сады, которые вы избрали себе;
30 You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
ибо вы будете, как дуб, которого лист опал, и как сад, в котором нет воды.
31 Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
И сильный будет отрепьем, и дело его искрою; и будут гореть вместе, - и никто не потушит.
