Книга пророка Исаии 40
1 Утешайте, утешайте люди Моя, глаголет Бог:
“Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God.
2 священницы, глаголите в сердце Иерусалиму, утешайте и, яко наполнися смирение его, разрешися грех его, яко прият от руки Господни сугубы грехи своя.
Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her, That her warfare has been completed, That her punishment has been accepted, That she has received from the hand of YHWH Double for all her sins.
3 Глас вопиющаго в пустыни: уготовайте путь Господень, правы сотворите стези Бога нашего:
A voice is crying in a wilderness: “Prepare the way of YHWH, Make straight in a desert a highway for our God.
4 всяка дебрь наполнится, и всяка гора и холм смирится, и будут вся стропотная в право, и острая в пути гладки.
Every valley is raised up, And every mountain and hill become low, And the crooked place has become a plain, And the entangled places a valley.
5 И явится слава Господня, и узрит всяка плоть спасение Божие, яко Господь глагола.
And the glory of YHWH has been revealed, And all flesh have seen [it] together, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken.”
6 Глас вопиющаго: возопий. И рекох: что возопию? Всяка плоть сено, и всяка слава человеча яко цвет травный:
A voice is saying, “Call,” And he said, “What do I call?” All flesh [is] grass, and all its goodness [Is] as a flower of the field:
7 изсше трава, и цвет отпаде,
Grass has withered, the flower faded, For the Spirit of YHWH blew on it, Surely the people [is] grass;
8 глаголгол же Бога нашего пребывает во веки.
Grass has withered, the flower faded, But a word of our God rises forever.
9 На гору высоку взыди, благовествуяй Сиону, возвыси крепостию глас твой, благовествуяй Иерусалиму: возвысите, не бойтеся. Рцы градом Иудиным:
Get up on a high mountain, O Zion, Proclaiming tidings, Lift up your voice with power, O Jerusalem, proclaiming tidings, Lift up, do not fear, say to cities of Judah, “Behold, your God.”
10 се, Бог ваш, се, Господь, Господь со крепостию идет, и мышца Его со властию: се, мзда Его с Ним, и дело Его пред Ним:
Behold, Lord YHWH comes with strength, And His arm is ruling for Him, Behold, His hire [is] with Him, and His wage before Him.
11 аки пастырь упасет паству Свою, и мышцею Своею соберет агнцы, и имущыя во утробе утешит.
He feeds His flock as a shepherd, He gathers lambs with His arm, And He carries [them] in His bosom: He leads suckling ones.
12 Кто измери горстию воду и небо пядию и всю землю горстию? Кто постави горы в мериле и холмы в весе?
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And has meted out the heavens by a span, And comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, And has weighed the mountains in scales, And the hills in a balance?
13 Кто уразуме ум Господень, и кто советник Ему бысть, иже научает Его?
Who has meted out the Spirit of YHWH, And [being] His counselor, teaches Him?
14 Или с ким советова, и настави И? Или кто показа Ему суд? Или путь разумения кто показа Ему? Или кто прежде даде Ему, и воздастся Ему?
With whom [did] He consult, That he causes Him to understand? And teaches Him in the path of judgment, And teaches Him knowledge? And causes Him to know the way of understanding?
15 Аще вси языцы, аки капля от кади, и яко претяжение веса вменишася, и аки плюновение вменятся?
Behold, nations [are] as a drop from a bucket, And have been reckoned as small dust of the balance, Behold, He takes up islands as a small thing.
16 Дубрава же Ливанова не доволна на сожжение, и вся четвероногая не доволна на всесожжение.
And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, Nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt-offering.
17 И вси языцы яко ничтоже суть, и в ничтоже вменишася.
All the nations [are] as nothing before Him, Less than nothing and emptiness, They have been reckoned to Him.
18 Кому уподобисте Господа, и коему подобию уподобисте Его?
And to whom do you liken God, And what likeness do you compare to Him?
19 Еда образ сотвори древоделатель, или златарь слияв злато позлати его, или подобием сотвори его?
An artisan has poured out the carved image, And a refiner spreads it over with gold, And he is refining chains of silver.
20 Древо бо негниющее избирает древоделатель и мудре ищет, како поставит образ его, и да не поколеблется.
He who is poor [by] raised-offerings, Chooses a tree [that is] not rotten, He seeks a skillful artisan for it, To establish a carved image—not moved.
21 Не разуместе ли, не слышасте ли, не возвестися ли вам исперва? Не разуместе ли основания земли?
Do you not know—do you not hear? Has it not been declared from the first to you? Have you not understood [From] the foundations of the earth?
22 Содержай круг земли, и живущии на ней аки прузи: поставивый небо яко камару и простер е, яко скинию обитати:
He who is sitting on the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants [are] as grasshoppers, He who is stretching out the heavens as a thin thing, And spreads them as a tent to dwell in.
23 даяй князи аки ничтоже владети, и землю аки ничтоже сотвори.
He who is making princes become nothing, Has made judges of earth formless;
24 Не насадят бо, ниже насеют, и не вкоренится в земли корение их: дхну на них ветр, и изсхоша, и буря аки стеблие возмет их.
Indeed, they have not been planted, Indeed, they have not been sown, Indeed, their stock is not taking root in the earth, And He has also blown on them, and they wither, And a whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
25 Ныне убо кому Мя уподобисте, и вознесуся? Рече Святый.
And to whom do you liken Me, And [to whom] I equal? Says the Holy One.
26 Воззрите на высоту очима вашима и видите, кто сотвори сия вся: носяй по числу утварь Свою, и вся по имени прозовет от многия славы и в державе крепости Своея: ничтоже утаися и Тебе.
Lift up your eyes on high, And see—who has created these? He who is bringing out their host by number, He calls to all of them by name, By the abundance of His strength And mighty power, Not one is lacking.
27 Еда бо речеши, Иакове, и что глаголал еси, Израилю: утаися путь мой от Бога, и Бог мой суд отя, и отступи?
Why say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way has been hid from YHWH, And from my God my judgment passes over?”
28 И ныне не уразумел ли еси ни ли слышал еси? Бог вечный, Бог устроивый концы земли, не взалчет, ниже утрудится, ниже есть изобретение премудрости Его,
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The God of the age—YHWH, Preparer of the ends of the earth, Is not wearied nor fatigued, There is no searching of His understanding.
29 даяй алчущым крепость и неболезненным печаль.
He is giving power to the weary, And to those not strong He increases might.
30 Взалчут бо юнейшии, и утрудятся юноты, и избраннии не крепцы будут:
Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men utterly stumble,
31 терпящии же Господа изменят крепость, окрылатеют аки орли, потекут и не утрудятся, пойдут и не взалчут.
But those expecting YHWH pass [to] power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!
