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 uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.
2 не возопиет ниже ослабит, ниже услышится вне глас Его:
He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3 трости сокрушены не сотрет и льна курящася не угасит, но во истину изнесет суд:
He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
4 возсияет и не потухнет, дондеже положит на земли суд, и на имя Его языцы уповати имут.
He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice in the earth, and the islands 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:
God the LORD, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:
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 you in righteousness. I will hold your hand. I will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations,
7 отверсти очи слепых, извести от уз связанныя и из дому темницы и седящыя во тме.
to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
8 Аз Господь Бог, сие Мое есть имя, славы Моея иному не дам, ниже добродетелей Моих истуканным.
“I am the LORD. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
9 Иже из начала, се, приидоша, и новая, яже Аз возвещу, и прежде неже возвестити, явишася вам.
Behold, the former things have happened and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.”
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 to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands and their inhabitants.
11 Возвеселися, пустыне, и веси ея, придвория, и живущии в Кидаре: возвеселятся живущии на камени, от края гор возопиют,
Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains!
12 дадят Богу славу, добродетели Его во островех возвестят.
Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
13 Господь Бог Сил изыдет и сокрушит рать, воздвигнет рвение и возопиет на враги Своя со крепостию.
The LORD will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
14 Молчах, еда и всегда умолчу и потерплю? Терпех яко раждающая, истреблю и изсушу вкупе,
“I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
15 опустошу горы и холмы, и всяку траву их изсушу, и положу реки во островы, и луги изсушу:
I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
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.
I will bring the blind by a way that they don’t know. I will lead them in paths that they don’t know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
17 Тии же возвратишася вспять: посрамитеся стыдением, уповающии на изваянная, глаголющии слиянным: вы есте бози наши.
“Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
18 Глусии, услышите, и слепии, прозрите видети.
“Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you 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 who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as the LORD’s servant?
20 Видесте многажды, и не сохранисте: отверсты ушы (имуще), и не слышасте.
You see many things, but don’t observe. His ears are open, but he doesn’t listen.
21 Господь Бог восхоте, да оправдится и возвеличит хвалу.
It pleased the LORD, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law and make it honourable.
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 this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become captives, and no one delivers, and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’
23 Кто в вас, иже внушит сия? И услышит во грядущая.
Who is there amongst you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear 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 Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Didn’t the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed 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 he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle. It set him on fire all around, but he didn’t know. It burnt him, but he didn’t take it to heart.”
