Isaiah 44
1 And now, hear, O Jacob, My servant, And Israel, whom I have fixed on:
Ныне же слыши, рабе Мой Иакове, и Израилю, егоже избрах.
2 Thus said Jehovah, thy Maker, and thy Former, From the womb He doth help thee; Fear not, my servant Jacob, And Jeshurun, whom I have fixed on.
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 pour waters on a thirsty one, And floods on a dry land, I pour My Spirit on thy seed, And My blessing on thine 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 have sprung up as among grass, As willows by streams of water.
и прозябнут аки трава посреде воды и яко верба при воде текущей.
5 This [one] saith, For Jehovah I [am], And this calleth [himself] by the name of Jacob, And this [one] writeth [with] his hand, 'For Jehovah,' and by the name of Israel surnameth himself.
Сей речет: Божий есмь: и сей возопиет о имени Иаковли, и другий напишет рукою своею: Божий есмь: и о имени Израилеве возопиет.
6 Thus said Jehovah, king of Israel, And his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: 'I [am] the first, and I the last, And besides 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, doth call and declare it, And arrange it for Me, Since My placing the people of antiquity, And things that are coming, And those that do come, declare they to 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 not, nor be afraid, Have I not from that time caused thee to hear, and declared? And ye [are] My witnesses, Is there a God besides Me? yea, there is none, A Rock I have not known.
Не укрывайтеся, ниже заблуждайте: не исперва ли внушисте, и возвестих вам? Свидетелие вы есте, аще есть Бог разве Мене.
9 Framers of a graven image [are] all of them emptiness, And their desirable things do not profit, And their own witnesses they [are], 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 hath formed a god, And a molten image poured out — not profitable?
но посрамятся вси созидающии бога и ваяющии вси неполезная.
11 Lo, all his companions are ashamed, As to artisans — they [are] of men, All of them gather together, they stand up, They fear, they are 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 He hath wrought iron [with] an axe, And hath wrought with coals, And with hammers doth form it, And doth work it by his powerful arm, Yea, he is hungry, and there is no power, He doth not drink water, and he is wearied.
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 He hath wrought [with] wood, He hath stretched out a rule, He doth mark it out with a line, He maketh it with carving tools, And with a compass he marketh it out, And maketh it according to the form of a man, According to the beauty of a man, To 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 Cutting down to himself cedars, He taketh also a cypress, and an oak, And he strengtheneth [it] for himself Among the trees of a forest, He hath planted an ash, and the shower doth nourish [it].
Посече древо в дубраве, еже насади Господь, сосну, и дождь возрасти,
15 And it hath been for man to burn, And he taketh of them, and becometh warm, Yea, he kindleth [it], and hath baked bread, Yea, he maketh a god, and boweth himself, He hath made it a graven image, And he falleth down to it.
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 Half of it he hath burnt in the fire, By [this] half of it he eateth flesh, He roasteth a roasting, and is satisfied, Yea, he is warm, and saith: 'Aha, I have become warm, I have enjoyed the light.
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 its remnant for a god he hath made — For his graven image, He falleth down to it, and worshippeth, And prayeth unto it, and he saith, 'Deliver me, for my god thou [art].'
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 do they understand, For He hath daubed their eyes from seeing, Their heart from acting wisely.
Не уведаша смыслити, яко отемнеша очи их еже видети и разумети сердцем своим.
19 And none doth turn [it] back unto his heart, Nor hath knowledge nor understanding to say, 'Half of it I have burned in the fire, Yea, also, I have baked bread over its coals, I roast flesh and I eat, And its remnant for an abomination I make, To the stock of a tree I fall down.'
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 Feeding on ashes, the heart is deceived, It hath turned him aside, And he delivereth not his soul, nor saith: '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 My servant thou [art], I formed thee, a servant to Me thou [art], O Israel, thou dost not forget 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 [by] a thick cloud, Thy transgressions, And as [by] a cloud thy sins, Return unto Me, for I have redeemed thee.
Се бо, отях яко облак беззакония твоя и яко примрак грехи твоя: обратися ко Мне, и избавлю тя.
23 Sing, O heavens, for Jehovah hath wrought, Shout, O lower parts of earth, Break forth, O mountains, with singing, Forest, and every tree in it, For Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, And in Israel He doth beautify Himself.
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 said Jehovah, thy redeemer, And thy framer from the womb: 'I [am] Jehovah, doing all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself, Spreading out the earth — who [is] with Me?
Сице глаголет Господь избавляяй тя и создавый тя от чрева: Аз Господь совершаяй вся, распрострох небо един и утвердих землю.
25 Making void the tokens of devisers, And diviners it maketh mad, Turning the wise backward, And their knowledge it maketh foolish.
Кто ин разсыплет знамения чревоволшебников и волшбы от сердца, отвращаяй мудрыя вспять и советы их обуяяй,
26 Confirming the word of His servant, The counsel of His messengers it perfecteth, Who is saying of Jerusalem, She is inhabited, And of cities of Judah, They shall be built, and her wastes I raise up,
и уставляя глагол раба Своего, и совет вестников Своих истинен творяй? Глаголяй Иерусалиму: населишися: и градом Иудейским: возградитеся, и пустыни его просияют,
27 Who is saying to the deep, Be dry, and thy rivers I cause to dry up,
глаголяй бездне: опустееши, и реки твоя изсушу,
28 Who is saying of Cyrus, My shepherd, And all my delight He doth perfect, So as to say of Jerusalem, Thou art built, And of the temple, Thou art founded.
глаголяй Киру смыслити, и вся воли Моя сотворит: глаголяй Иерусалиму: возградишися, и храм святый мой осную.
