Книга пророка Исаии 25
1 Господи Боже мой, прославлю Тя, воспою имя Твое, яко сотворил еси чудная дела, совет древний истинный: да будет, Господи.
O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 Яко положил еси грады в персть, грады твердыя, еже пасти основанием их, нечестивых град да не созиждется во век.
For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Сего ради благословят Тя людие нищии, и гради человеков обидимых возблагословят Тя.
Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
4 Был бо еси всякому граду смиренному помощник, и изнемогающым за оскудение покров, от человек злых избавиши их: покров жаждущих, и дух человеков обидимых.
For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 Аки человецы малодушнии жаждущии в Сионе, яко избавиши их от человек нечестивых, имже нас предал еси.
Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 И сотворит Господь Саваоф всем языком: на горе сей испиют радость, испиют вино,
And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 помажутся миром на горе сей: предаждь сия вся языком: той бо совет на вся языки.
And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
8 Пожре смерть возмогши, и паки отят Господь Бог всякую слезу от всякаго лица: поношение людий отят от всея земли, уста бо Господня глаголаша (сия).
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
9 И рекут в день оный: се, Бог наш, Наньже уповахом, и спасет нас: Сей Господь, потерпехом Его, и возрадовахомся и возвеселихомся о спасении нашем.
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 Покой даст Бог на горе сей, и поперется Моавитида, якоже топчут ток колесницами.
For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 И воздвигнет руце свои, якоже и той смири, еже погубити: и смирит гордыню его, на няже руце возложи.
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12 И высоту убежища ограды твоея смирит, и обнизится даже до земли.
And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
