Исаия 59
1 Вот, рука Господа не сократилась на то, чтобы спасать, и ухо Его не отяжелело для того, чтобы слышать.
Listen to this! Yahweh’s power [MTY] is not ended/gone, with the result that he cannot save [you]. He has not become deaf [MTY], with the result that he cannot hear [you when you call to him for help].
2 Но беззакония ваши произвели разделение между вами и Богом вашим, и грехи ваши отвращают лице Его от вас, чтобы не слышать.
But, you have separated yourselves from your God by the sins that you have committed. Because of your sins, he has turned away from you, with the result that he does not pay attention to what you request him to do.
3 Ибо руки ваши осквернены кровью и персты ваши - беззаконием; уста ваши говорят ложь, язык ваш произносит неправду.
You do violent things [MTY] [to others], with the result that your hands are stained with their blood. You [constantly] tell [MTY] lies, and you say [MTY] evil things [about others].
4 Никто не возвышает голоса за правду, и никто не вступается за истину; надеются на пустое и говорят ложь, зачинают зло и рождают злодейство;
When you accuse someone in court, what you say is not fair and it is not true. You accuse people falsely. You are [constantly] planning to cause trouble for others, and then you do those evil things that you planned.
5 высиживают змеиные яйца и ткут паутину; кто поест яиц их, - умрет, а если раздавит, - выползет ехидна.
What you plan to do to harm people [MET] is as dangerous as the eggs of a (cobra/poisonous snake), because cobras will hatch from those eggs. You trap people like [MET] spiders trap/catch insects in their webs.
6 Паутины их для одежды негодны, и они не покроются своим произведением; дела их - дела неправедные, и насилие в руках их.
We people cannot hide/cover our skin with clothes made of spider webs [MET], and similarly you cannot hide the evil things that you have done. You are [constantly] acting [MTY] violently.
7 Ноги их бегут ко злу, и они спешат на пролитие невинной крови; мысли их - мысли нечестивые; опустошение и гибель на стезях их.
You [SYN] are very quick to go and do evil things, and you hurry to murder people [MTY] who are innocent. You are [continually] thinking about sinning. Wherever you go, you destroy things and cause people to suffer.
8 Пути мира они не знают, и нет суда на стезях их; пути их искривлены, и никто, идущий по ним, не знает мира.
You do not know how to act peacefully or to treat others fairly. You always are (dishonest/deceiving others) [MET], and those who imitate your behavior never have any inner peace.
9 Потому-то и далек от нас суд, и правосудие не достигает до нас; ждем света, и вот тьма, - озарения, и ходим во мраке.
Because of that, God does not rescue us [from our enemies]; [it seems that] he is not acting fairly/righteously toward us. We expect [God to give us] light, but all [he gives us] is darkness [DOU].
10 Осязаем, как слепые стену, и, как без глаз, ходим ощупью; спотыкаемся в полдень, как в сумерки, между живыми - как мертвые.
We are like [SIM] blind people who have to feel along a wall to be able to walk anywhere. We stumble [and trip] at noontime like [SIM] we would when it is dark. We are like [SIM] dead people who are among healthy people.
11 Все мы ревем, как медведи, и стонем, как голуби; ожидаем суда, и нет его, - спасения, но оно далеко от нас.
We growl like [SIM] [hungry] bears; we continually moan like [SIM] doves. We seek [people who do] what is just/fair, but we cannot find any [anywhere]. [We want God] to rescue us, but [it seems that] he is far away.
12 Ибо преступления наши многочисленны пред Тобою, и грехи наши свидетельствуют против нас; ибо преступления наши с нами, и беззакония наши мы знаем.
[But these things are happening] because [it is as though] our sins are piled high in the presence of God, and that they testify [PRS] against us. We cannot deny it; we know that we have done many wrong things.
13 Мы изменили и солгали пред Господом, и отступили от Бога нашего; говорили клевету и измену, зачинали и рождали из сердца лживые слова.
[We know that] we have rebelled against Yahweh; we have turned away from him. We (oppress people/treat people cruelly) by what we testify [against them]; we do not allow them to get what they have a right to get. We [SYN] think about the lies that we can tell, and then we tell them.
14 И суд отступил назад, и правда стала вдали, ибо истина преткнулась на площади, и честность не может войти.
[In our courts, the judges] do not decide cases/matters fairly; no one is acting righteously. In plazas where people gather together, no one tells the truth [PRS]; [it seems that people] are not allowed to say what is true.
15 И не стало истины, и удаляющийся от зла подвергается оскорблению. И Господь увидел это, и противно было очам Его, что нет суда.
No one tells the truth, and people try to ruin [the reputations of] those who quit doing evil. Yahweh looked around, and he saw that no one was doing what is just/fair, and he was [very] displeased.
16 И видел, что нет человека, и дивился, что нет заступника; и помогла Ему мышца Его, и правда Его поддержала Его.
He was disgusted when he saw that no one tried to help [those who were being treated cruelly]. So he used his own power [MTY] to rescue them; it is because he is always righteous that he did that [PRS].
17 И Он возложил на Себя правду, как броню, и шлем спасения на главу Свою; и облекся в ризу мщения, как в одежду, и покрыл Себя ревностью, как плащом.
[It is as though he is a soldier who] [MET] puts on his armor and a helmet; his continually doing what is right is like [MET] his armor, and his ability to rescue people is [like] his helmet. His being extremely angry and his being ready to get revenge [on those who do evil] are like [MET] his robes.
18 По мере возмездия, по этой мере Он воздаст противникам Своим - яростью, врагам Своим - местью, островам воздаст должное.
He will repay his enemies for the evil things that they have done. He will severely punish [MTY] even those who live far [from Jerusalem].
19 И убоятся имени Господа на западе и славы Его - на восходе солнца. Если враг придет как река, дуновение Господа прогонит его.
When that happens, people everywhere, from the east to the west, will respect and honor Yahweh [MTY], because he will come like [SIM] a rushing river that is pushed along by the strong wind that Yahweh sent.
20 И придет Искупитель Сиона и сынов Иакова, обратившихся от нечестия, говорит Господь.
And Yahweh says that he will come to Jerusalem to free [his people]; he will come to rescue those in Judah who have quit (doing sinful things/their sinful behavior).
21 И вот завет Мой с ними, говорит Господь: Дух Мой, Который на тебе, и слова Мои, которые вложил Я в уста твои, не отступят от уст твоих и от уст потомства твоего, и от уст потомков потомства твоего, говорит Господь, отныне и до века.
This is what Yahweh says to his people: “This is the agreement that I will make with you: My Spirit will not leave you, and you will always have my message. You will [be able to] declare it [MTY], and your children and grandchildren will [be able to] declare it forever.”
