Isaiah 41
1 “Listen before me in silence, you coastlands; let the nations renew their strength; let them come near and speak; let us come near together to argue a dispute.
Обновляйтеся ко Мне, острови князи бо изменят крепость: да приближатся и да глаголют вкупе, тогда суд да возвещают.
2 Who has stirred up one from the east, calling him in righteousness to his service? He hands nations over to him and helps him subdue kings. He turns them to dust with his sword, like windblown stubble with his bow.
Кто возстави от восток правду, призва ю к ногам своим, и пойдет? Даст пред языки, и цари ужасит: и повержет на землю мечы их, и аки стеблие отвержени луцы их,
3 He pursues them and passes by safely, by a swift path that his feet scarcely touch.
и проженет я, и пройдет с миром путь ног его.
4 Who has performed and accomplished these deeds? Who has summoned the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last ones, I am he.
Кто содела и сотвори сия, призва ю призываяй ю от начала родов. Аз Бог первый, и в грядущая Аз есмь.
5 The isles have seen and are afraid; the ends of the earth tremble; they approach and come.
Видеша языцы и убояшася, концы земнии приближишася и приидоша вкупе.
6 Everyone helps his neighbor, and every one says to one another, 'Be encouraged.'
Судяй кийждо ближнему, и брату помощи, и речет:
7 So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith, and he who works with the hammer encourages him who works with an anvil, saying of the welding, 'It is good.' They fasten it with nails so it will not topple over.
превозможе муж древоделатель и ковачь бияй млатом, вкупе проковаяй: овогда убо речет: спаяние добро есть, утвердиша я гвоздьми, положат я, и не подвигнутся.
8 But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham my friend,
Ты же, Израилю, рабе Мой, Иакове, егоже избрах, семя Авраамле, егоже возлюбих,
9 you whom I am bringing back from the ends of the earth, and whom I called from the far away places, and to whom I said, 'You are my servant;' I have chosen you and not rejected you.
егоже поях от конец земли, и от стражб ея призвах тя, и рекох ти: раб Мой еси, избрах тя, и не оставих тебе:
10 Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, and I will help you, and I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
не бойся, с тобою бо есмь, не прельщаю: Аз бо есмь Бог твой, укрепивый тя, и помогох ти, и утвердих тя десницею Моею праведною:
11 See, they will be ashamed and disgraced, all who have been angry with you; they will be as nothing and will perish, those who oppose you.
се, постыдятся и посрамятся вси сопротивляющиися тебе, будут бо яко не сущии, и погибнут вси соперницы твои:
12 You will seek and will not find those who contended with you; those who warred against you will be like nothing, absolutely nothing.
взыщеши их, и не обрящеши человеков, иже поругаются тебе: будут бо аки не бывшии и не будут ратующии тебе.
13 For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, 'Do not fear; I am helping you.'
Яко Аз Бог твой держай десницу твою, глаголяй тебе:
14 Do not fear, Jacob you worm, and you men of Israel; I will help you—this is Yahweh's declaration, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
не бойся, Иакове, малый Израилю, Аз помогох ти, глаголет Бог твой, Избавляяй тя Святый Израилев:
15 Look, I am making you like a sharp threshing sledge, new and two-edged; you will thresh the mountains and crush them; you will make the hills like chaff.
се, сотворих тя аки колеса колесничная новая, стирающая аки пила, и сотреши горы, и истончиши холмы, и аки прах положиши,
16 You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away; the wind will scatter them. You will rejoice in Yahweh, you will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
и извееши, и ветр возмет я, и буря развеет я: ты же возвеселишися во Святых Израилевых.
17 The oppressed and needy look for water, but there is none, and their tongues are parched for thirst; I, Yahweh, will respond to their prayers; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
И возрадуются убозии и неимущии: поищут бо воды, и не будет, язык их от жажди изсше. Аз Господь Бог, Аз услышу их, Бог Израилев, и не оставлю их,
18 I will make streams to flow down the slopes, and springs in the middle of the valleys; I will make the desert into a pool of water, and the dry land into springs of water.
но отверзу на горах реки и среди поля источники, сотворю пустыню в луги водныя и жаждущую землю в водотечы,
19 In the wilderness I will set the cedar, the acacia, and the myrtle, and the olive tree. I will set the cypress in the desert plain, with the pines and the cypress box trees.
положу в безводную землю кедр и смерчие, и мирсину и кипарис и тополю:
20 I will do this so that the people may see, recognize, and understand together, that the hand of Yahweh has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it.
да узрят и уразумеют, и помыслят и уведят вкупе, яко рука Господня сотвори сия вся, и Святый Израилев показа.
21 “Present your case,” says Yahweh, “present your best arguments for your idols,” says the King of Jacob.
Приближается суд ваш, глаголет Господь Бог: приближишася совети ваши, глаголет Царь Иаковль.
22 Let them bring us their own arguments; have them come forward and declare to us what will happen, so we may know these things well. Have them tell us of earlier predictive declarations, so we can reflect on them and know how they were fulfilled.
Да приближатся и возвестят вам, яже сбудутся, или яже прежде быша, рцыте: и приставим ум и уразумеем, что последняя и будущая: рцыте нам,
23 Tell things about the future, that we may know if you are gods; do something good or evil, that we may be frightened and impressed.
возвестите нам грядущая на последок, и увемы, яко бози есте: благо сотворите и зло сотворите, и почудимся и узрим вкупе.
24 See, you idols are nothing and your deeds are nothing; the one who chooses you is detestable.
Яко откуду есте вы, и откуду дело ваше? От земли мерзость избраша вас.
25 I have raised up one from the north, and he comes; from the sun's rising I summon him who calls on my name, and he will trample the rulers like mud, like a potter who is treading on the clay.
Аз же возставих, иже от севера и иже от восток солнечных прозовутся именем Моим: да приидут князи, и яко брение скудельника и яко скудельник топчущь брение, тако попрани будете.
26 Who announced this from the beginning, that we might know? Before this time, that we may say, “He is right”? Indeed none of them decreed it, yes, none heard you say anything.
Кто бо возвестит, яже исперва, да увемы, яже напреди, и речем, яко истинна суть? Несть предглаголющаго, ни слышащаго словес ваших.
27 I first said to Zion, “Look here they are;” I sent a herald to Jerusalem.
Начало Сиону дам и Иерусалима утешу на пути.
28 When I look, there is no one, not one among them who can give good advice, who, when I ask, can answer a word.
От язык бо, се, ни един и от кумир их несть возвещаяй. И аще вопрошу их, откуду есте? Не отвещают ми.
29 Look, all of them are nothing, and their deeds are nothing; their cast metal figures are wind and emptiness.
Суть бо творящии вас и всуе прельщающии вас.
