Книга пророка Исаии 43
1 И ныне сице глаголет Господь Бог сотворивый тя, Иакове, и создавый тя, Израилю: не бойся, яко избавих тя, прозвах тя именем твоим: Мой еси ты.
But now thus says the LORD that created you, O Jacob, and he that formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name; you are mine.
2 И аще преходиши сквозе воду, с тобою есмь, и реки не покрыют тебе: и аще скозе огнь пройдеши, не сожжешися, и пламень не опалит тебе,
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you.
3 яко Аз Господь Бог твой, Святый Израилев, Спасаяй тя: сотворих премену твою Египет и Ефиопию, и Соину за тя.
For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour: I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you.
4 Отнелиже честен был еси предо Мною, прославился еси, и Аз тя возлюбих, и дам человеки за тебе и князи за главу твою.
Since you were precious in my sight, you have been honourable, and I have loved you: therefore will I give men for you, and people for your life.
5 Не бойся, яко с тобою есмь: от восток приведу семя твое и от запад соберу тя:
Fear not: for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west;
6 реку северу: приведи: и ливу: не возбраняй, приведи сыны Моя от земли дальния и дщери Моя от краев земных,
I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7 всех, елицы нарицаются именем Моим: во славе бо Моей устроих его и создах его и сотворих и.
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
8 И изведох люди слепы, и очи суть такожде слепы, и глуси ушы имущии.
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
9 Вси языцы собрашася вкупе, и соберутся князи от них. Кто возвестит сия? Или яже исперва кто возвестит вам? Да приведут свидетели своя и оправдятся, и да услышат и да рекут истину.
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
10 Будите Ми свидетелие, и Аз свидетель, глаголет Господь Бог, и отрок Мой, егоже избрах, да увесте и веруете Ми и уразумеете, яко Аз есмь: прежде Мене не бысть ин Бог, и по Мне не будет.
All of you are my witnesses, says the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that all of you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 Аз Бог, и несть разве Мене Спасаяй.
I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
12 Аз возвестих и спасох, укорих, и не бе в вас чуждий: вы Мне свидетелие, и Аз свидетель, глаголет Господь Бог,
I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore all of you are my witnesses, says the LORD, that I am God.
13 еще от начала, и несть изимаяй от руку Моею: сотворю, и кто отвратит е?
Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
14 Тако глаголет Господь Бог, Избавляяй вас, Святый Израилев: вас ради послю в Вавилон и воздвигну вся бежащыя, и Халдее в кораблех свяжутся.
Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
15 Аз Господь Бог Святый ваш, показавый Израиля Царя вашего.
I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16 Сице глаголет Господь, даяй путь по морю и по воде сильне стезю:
Thus says the LORD, which makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
17 изводяй колесницы и кони и народ силен: но успоша и не востанут, угасоша аки лен угашен.
Which brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18 Не поминайте первых, и ветхих не помышляйте,
Remember all of you not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 се, Аз творю новая, яже ныне возсияют, и увесте я: и сотворю в пустыни путь и в безводней реки.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall all of you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 Возблагословят Мя зверие селнии, сирини и дщери струфовы: яко дах в пустыни воду и реки в безводней, напоити род Мой избранный,
The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 люди Моя, яже снабдех, добродетели Моя поведати.
This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.
22 Не ныне призвах тебе, Иакове, ниже трудитися сотворих тя, Израилю.
But you have not called upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel.
23 Не принесл еси Мне овец твоих всесожжения твоего, ни в жертвах твоих прославил Мя еси, не поработих тя в жертвах, ниже утруждена сотворих тя в Ливане:
You have not brought me the small cattle of your burnt offerings; neither have you honoured me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with an offering, nor wearied you with incense.
24 не купил еси Мне на сребро фимиама, ниже тука треб твоих возжелах, но во гресех твоих стал еси предо Мною и в неправдах твоих.
You have bought me no sweet cane with money, neither have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices: but you have made me to serve with your sins, you have wearied me with your iniquities.
25 Аз есмь, Аз есмь заглаждаяй беззакония твоя Мене ради и грехи твоя, и не помяну.
I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember your sins.
26 Ты же помяни, и да судимся: глаголи ты беззакония твоя прежде, да оправдишися.
Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare you, that you may be justified.
27 Отцы ваши первии согрешиша, и князи ваши беззаконноваша на Мя.
Your first father has sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.
28 И оскверниша князи святая Моя, и дах погубити Иакова и Израиля во укоризну.
Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
