Книга пророка Исаии 42
1 Иаков Отрок Мой, восприиму и: Израиль избранный Мой, прият Его душа Моя, дах дух Мой Нань, суд языком возвестит:
[Yahweh says, “I want you people to know about] my servant, whom I encourage. I have chosen him, and I am pleased with him. I have given him my Spirit, and he will make certain that all the people-groups do what is right/just.
2 не возопиет ниже ослабит, ниже услышится вне глас Его:
He will not [show his power by] shouting [DOU] or by talking very loudly.
3 трости сокрушены не сотрет и льна курящася не угасит, но во истину изнесет суд:
He will not get rid of [anyone who is weak like] [MET] a smashed reed, and he will not [end the life of anyone who is helpless like] [MET] someone would extinguish a dimly burning wick [of an oil lamp]. He will faithfully/continually make sure that judges decide cases justly.
4 возсияет и не потухнет, дондеже положит на земли суд, и на имя Его языцы уповати имут.
He will not become exhausted or discouraged all during the time that he is causing things to be done justly throughout the earth. Even [people living on the islands in] [MTY] the oceans will confidently wait for [him to teach them] his laws.”
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:
Yahweh our God created the sky and spread it out. He also created the earth and everything on it. He gives breath to all the people on the earth; he causes them to live [DOU]. [And he is the one who says to his special servant],
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, Yahweh, have chosen you to show people that I always act righteously/fairly. I will grasp your hand and protect you, and I will present you to [my Israeli] people to be the one who will put into effect my agreement with them. [You will be like] a light to the [other] nations.
7 отверсти очи слепых, извести от уз связанныя и из дому темницы и седящыя во тме.
You will enable blind [IDM] people to see, you will free those who are in prison (OR, who are bound [by the guilt of their sins]) [MET] and release those who are in dark dungeons.
8 Аз Господь Бог, сие Мое есть имя, славы Моея иному не дам, ниже добродетелей Моих истуканным.
I am Yahweh; that is my name. I will not allow anyone else to receive the honor that only I deserve. And I will not allow idols to be praised like only I should be praised.
9 Иже из начала, се, приидоша, и новая, яже Аз возвещу, и прежде неже возвестити, явишася вам.
Everything that I have prophesied has happened, and now I will tell about other things that will happen. I will tell you things that will happen before they happen.”
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 a new song to Yahweh! Sing to praise him throughout the world! All you people who sail across the oceans, and all you creatures that live in the oceans, and all you people who live on islands far away, sing!
11 Возвеселися, пустыне, и веси ея, придвория, и живущии в Кидаре: возвеселятся живущии на камени, от края гор возопиют,
You people who live in towns in the desert, sing loudly! You people who live in the Kedar [area in the north of Arabia], you rejoice also! You people in Sela [city in Edom], you also should sing joyfully; shout [to praise him] from the tops of your mountains!
12 дадят Богу славу, добродетели Его во островех возвестят.
Even people who live on distant islands should honor Yahweh and sing to praise him.
13 Господь Бог Сил изыдет и сокрушит рать, воздвигнет рвение и возопиет на враги Своя со крепостию.
[It will be as though] Yahweh will march out like [SIM] a mighty soldier; he will show that he is very angry. He will shout a battle-cry, and [then] he will defeat all his enemies.
14 Молчах, еда и всегда умолчу и потерплю? Терпех яко раждающая, истреблю и изсушу вкупе,
[He will say], “I have remained silent [DOU] for a long time; I have restrained myself [from doing what I need to do]. But now, like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby, I will cry out and gasp and pant.
15 опустошу горы и холмы, и всяку траву их изсушу, и положу реки во островы, и луги изсушу:
I will level off the hills and mountains, and I will cause all the plants and trees to dry up. I will cause the rivers to become small streams, and little islands will appear in them, and I will cause all the pools to become dry.
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.
[My people who have been taken to Babylonia are like] [MET] blind people, [but] I will lead them along a road on which they have not walked before, on a road that they have not seen before. They have felt [very helpless, as though] they were walking in the darkness, but I will take away that darkness and I will make smooth the road that is in front of them. Those are the things that I will do for them; I will not abandon them.
17 Тии же возвратишася вспять: посрамитеся стыдением, уповающии на изваянная, глаголющии слиянным: вы есте бози наши.
But those who trust in carved idols, and say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be completely humiliated/disgraced.”
18 Глусии, услышите, и слепии, прозрите видети.
You [Israeli people who have acted toward God like] deaf [people], listen [to what Yahweh says]! “You [who have been like] [MET] blind [people], look!
19 И кто слеп, разве раби Мои? И глуси, разве владеющии ими? И ослепоша раби Божии.
No people are [RHQ] as blind as my people, who [should have been] serving me. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] deaf people as [the Israelis, who should have been] my messengers. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] blind people as those whom I chose to serve me.
20 Видесте многажды, и не сохранисте: отверсты ушы (имуще), и не слышасте.
You see and know what are the right things to do, but you do not do them. You hear [what I say to you], but you do not pay attention.”
21 Господь Бог восхоте, да оправдится и возвеличит хвалу.
Because Yahweh is righteous, he has honored his glorious laws.
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 [the armies of Babylon have destroyed Jerusalem] and have completely (plundered/taken away) [DOU] all the valuable things, and they have captured Yahweh’s people and taken them away and put them in prison. They have been captured easily, because there was no one to protect them; there was no one to say that they should be allowed to return home.
23 Кто в вас, иже внушит сия? И услышит во грядущая.
Who among you will listen carefully to these things? Who will pay attention from now on?
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 allowed the valuable possessions of the people of Israel to be stolen [RHQ, DOU]? It was Yahweh, because he is he one against whom we had sinned; we did not conduct our lives like he wanted us to, and we did not obey his laws.
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, he was extremely angry with us, and he caused our soldiers to be destroyed in battles. [It was as though] [MET] he lit a fire around us, but we did not understand [what he was trying to tell us]. [His being angry with us was like] a fire that would burn us up, but we did not pay attention [IDM].
