Книга пророка Исаии 42
1 Иаков Отрок Мой, восприиму и: Израиль избранный Мой, прият Его душа Моя, дах дух Мой Нань, суд языком возвестит:
Behold my servant, whom I will uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my spirit upon him, that he may bring forth justice to the nations.
2 не возопиет ниже ослабит, ниже услышится вне глас Его:
He shall not cry, nor call out aloud, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 трости сокрушены не сотрет и льна курящася не угасит, но во истину изнесет суд:
A cracked reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: unto truth shall he bring forth justice.
4 возсияет и не потухнет, дондеже положит на земли суд, и на имя Его языцы уповати имут.
He shall not become fatigued and not be faint, till he have established justice on earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.
5 Тако глаголет Господь Бог, сотворивый небо и водрузивый е, утверждей землю и яже на ней, и даяй дыхание людем, иже на ней, и дух ходящым на ней:
Thus hath said God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and the things which come out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to those that walk thereon:
6 Аз Господь Бог призвах Тя в правде, и удержу за руку Твою и укреплю Тя: и дах Тя в завет рода Израилева, во свет языков,
I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will lay hold on thy hand, and will keep thee, and appoint thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations;
7 отверсти очи слепых, извести от уз связанныя и из дому темницы и седящыя во тме.
To open blind eyes, to bring out from the dungeon the prisoner, and out of the prison-house those that dwell in darkness.
8 Аз Господь Бог, сие Мое есть имя, славы Моея иному не дам, ниже добродетелей Моих истуканным.
I am the Everlasting One, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to any other, nor my praise to graven images.
9 Иже из начала, се, приидоша, и новая, яже Аз возвещу, и прежде неже возвестити, явишася вам.
The former things, behold, are come to pass; and new things do I announce; before they spring forth I let you hear of them.
10 Воспойте Господеви песнь нову: началство Его, прославите имя Его от конец земли, сходящии в море и плавающии по нему, острови и живущии на них.
Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that filleth it; the isles, and their inhabitants.
11 Возвеселися, пустыне, и веси ея, придвория, и живущии в Кидаре: возвеселятся живущии на камени, от края гор возопиют,
Let resound with song the wilderness and its cities, the villages which Kedar inhabiteth: let the inhabitants of the rocks sing, let them shout forth from the top of the mountains.
12 дадят Богу славу, добродетели Его во островех возвестят.
Let them give glory unto the Lord, and in the islands declare his praise.
13 Господь Бог Сил изыдет и сокрушит рать, воздвигнет рвение и возопиет на враги Своя со крепостию.
The Lord—as a mighty one will he go forth, like a man of war will he arouse his vengeance: he will shout, yea, raise the war-cry; against his enemies will he show his strength.
14 Молчах, еда и всегда умолчу и потерплю? Терпех яко раждающая, истреблю и изсушу вкупе,
I have a long time held my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: [now] like a travailing woman will I cry; I will destroy and devour [all] together.
15 опустошу горы и холмы, и всяку траву их изсушу, и положу реки во островы, и луги изсушу:
I will lay waste mountains and hills, and all their herbs will I dry up; and I will change the rivers into islands, and pools will I dry up.
16 и наведу слепыя на путь, егоже не видеша, и по стезям, ихже не знаша, ходити сотворю им: сотворю им тму во свет и стропотная в правая: сия глаголголы сотворю, и не оставлю их.
And I will cause the blind to walk on a way that they have not known; on paths that they have not known will I lead them: I will change darkness before them into light, and crooked places into plains. These are the things which I will do, and not leave them [unfulfilled].
17 Тии же возвратишася вспять: посрамитеся стыдением, уповающии на изваянная, глаголющии слиянным: вы есте бози наши.
They shall be turned back, they shall be ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to molten idols, Ye are our gods.
18 Глусии, услышите, и слепии, прозрите видети.
Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look up, that ye may see.
19 И кто слеп, разве раби Мои? И глуси, разве владеющии ими? И ослепоша раби Божии.
Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger whom I send? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the servant of the Lord?
20 Видесте многажды, и не сохранисте: отверсты ушы (имуще), и не слышасте.
Thou seest many things, but observest not; the ears are open, but he heareth not.
21 Господь Бог восхоте, да оправдится и возвеличит хвалу.
The Lord willed [to do this] for the sake of his righteousness; [therefore] he magnifieth the law, and maketh it honorable.
22 И видех, и быша людие расхищени и разграблени: пругло бо в ложах везде, и в домех вкупе, идеже скрыша я, быша в плен: и не бысть изимаяй разграбления и не бе глаголющаго: отдаждь.
But it is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them ensnared in holes, and in prison-houses are they hidden: they are become for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
23 Кто в вас, иже внушит сия? И услышит во грядущая.
Who among you will give ear to this? will hearken and listen, for the time to come?
24 Кто даде на разграбление Иакова, и Израиля пленяющым его? Не Бог ли, Емуже согрешиша и не восхотеша в путех Его ходити, ни слушати закона Его?
Who gave up Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to plunderers? was it not the Lord? he it is against whom we have sinned; for they would not walk in his ways, neither did they hearken unto his law.
25 И наведе на ня гнев ярости Своея, и укрепися на ня рать, и палящии их окрест, и не уведеша кийждо их, ниже положиша на уме.
Therefore hath he poured out over him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it blazed all round about him, yet he regarded it not; and it burnt on him, yet he laid it not to heart.
