Книга пророка Исаии 45
1 Сице глаголет Господь Бог помазанному Моему Киру, егоже удержах за десницу, повинути пред ним языки, и крепость царей разрушу, отверзу пред ним врата, и гради не злтворятся:
This is what the Lord says to Cyrus, the one he has anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to direct him to defeat nations and to make kings weak, to open doors before him and gates that will not be shut.
2 Аз пред тобою пойду и горы уравню, врата медяная сокрушу и вереи железныя сломлю,
I will go ahead of you and level the mountains. I will break down bronze gates and cut through iron bars.
3 и дам ти сокровища темная сокровенная: невидимая отверзу тебе, да увеси, яко Аз Господь Бог твой прозывая имя твое, Бог Израилев.
I will give you hidden treasure, treasure concealed in secret places, so that you can know for sure that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
4 Ради раба Моего Иакова и Израиля избраннаго Моего, Аз прозову тя именем твоим и прииму тя:
I call you by name and I have given you a title of honor, for the sake of Jacob my servant, and Israel the one I chose, even though you don't know me.
5 ты же не познал еси Мене, яко Аз Господь Бог, и несть разве Мене еще Бога: укрепих тя, и не познал еси Мене,
I am the Lord, there is no God apart from me. Apart from me there is no God. I will make you strong, even though you don't know me,
6 да быша уведели, иже от восток солнечных и иже от запад, яко несть Бог разве Мене: Аз Господь Бог, и несть еще.
so that everyone, from the east to the west, will know that there is no God apart from me, that I am the Lord, and there is none apart from me.
7 Аз устроивый свет и сотворивый тму, творяй мир и зиждяй злая, Аз Господь Бог, творяй сия вся.
I create light, and I make darkness, I bring peace and I bring about disaster. I am the Lord and I do all this.
8 Да возрадуется небо свыше, и облацы да кропят правду: да прозябнет земля, и да прорастит милость, и правду да прозябнет вкупе: Аз есмь Господь создавый тя.
Let the rain fall from the sky above, let goodness fall from the clouds, let the earth open up to receive goodness and salvation so they can grow together. I, the Lord, created them.
9 Что лучшее устроих яко глину скудельничу? Еда оряй орати будет землю весь день? Еда речет брение скудельнику: что твориши, яко не делаеши, ниже имаши рук? Еда отвещает здание создавшему е?
What trouble people face when they fight with their Creator—they're just pots among all the other pots on earth! Does the clay tell the potter who is shaping it, “What are you doing?” or “What you're making is so bad it's like you have no hands!”
10 Еда глаголет отцу: что родиши? И матери: что чревоболиши?
How bad it would be if you said to your father, “Why did you have me?” or to your mother, “Why was I ever born?”!
11 Яко тако глаголет Господь Бог, Святый Израилев, Сотворивый грядущая: вопросите Мене о сынех Моих и о дщерех Моих, и о делех руку моею заповедите Мне.
This is what the Lord says, the Holy One of Israel, your Creator: You can ask me about things to come. But are you going to lecture me about my children and what I do?
12 Аз сотворих землю и человека на ней, Аз рукою Моею утвердих небо, Аз всем звездам заповедах.
I'm the one who made the earth, and I created human beings to live there. It was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordered all the stars to come into being.
13 Аз возставих его со правдою царя, и вси путие его правы: сей созиждет град Мой и пленение людий Моих возвратит, не по мзде, ни по даром, рече Господь Саваоф.
Because I do what's right, I will encourage him and smooth out all the roads he takes. He will rebuild my city and will set my exiles free without being paid or bribed to do so, says the Lord Almighty.
14 Тако глаголет Господь Саваоф: утрудися Египет и купли Ефиопския, и Саваимстии мужие высоцыи к тебе прейдут и тебе будут раби, и вслед тебе пойдут связани узами ручными, и прейдут к тебе и поклонятся тебе, и в тебе помолятся, яко в тебе Бог есть, и рекут: несть Бога разве тебе:
This is what the Lord says: “The productive Egyptians and the Ethiopian traders, as well as the tall Sabean people, will come over to you and will belong to you. They will walk behind you in chains and bow down to you, pleading with you, saying, ‘God is certainly with you, and there is no other God besides him.’”
15 Ты бо еси Бог, и не ведехом, Бог Израилев Спас.
Yet you are a God who hides himself, God of Israel, Savior.
16 Постыдятся и посрамятся вси противящиися ему и пойдут в студе: обновляйтеся ко мне, острови.
Everyone who makes idols are ashamed and humiliated, all of them are disgraced.
17 Израиль спасается от Господа спасением вечным: не постыдятся, ни посрамятся даже до века ктому.
But Israel will be saved by the Lord with a salvation that lasts forever. You will never be ashamed or disgraced for all eternity.
18 Зане тако глаголет Господь сотворивый небо, Сей Бог показавый землю и сотворивый ю, Той раздели ю, не вотще сотвори ю, но на вселение созда ю: Аз есмь Господь, и несть ктому.
For this is what the Lord says, the God who created the heavens, who formed and made the earth, he founded it. He didn't make it to be left empty, but formed it to be inhabited. He is the one who says, I am the Lord, and there is no God apart from me.
19 Не отай глаголах, ни в темне месте земли: не рекох племени Иаковлю: суетнаго взыщите. Аз есмь, Аз есмь Господь глаголяй правду и возвещаяй истину.
I haven't been talking in secret in an obscure place. I didn't tell the descendants of Jacob: Look for me in a place where no one can be found. I, the Lord, tell the truth—I say what's right.
20 Соберитеся и приидите, совещайтеся вкупе, спасаемии от язык. Не разумеша воздвижущии древо изваяние свое и молящеся богом, иже не спасают.
Gather yourselves together, and come, come close, you refugees of the nations. Aren't they stupid, these people who carry around their wooden idols, and who pray to a god that can't save them?
21 Аще возвестят, да приближатся, да уведят вкупе, кто слышана сотвори сия исперва? Тогда возвестися вам: Аз Бог, и несть иного разве Мене, праведен и Спаситель, несть кроме Мене.
Discuss this together, and then speak up, present your case. Who predicted this long ago? Who said what would happen in the future back in the past? Wasn't that me, the Lord? There is no other God except me, no other God who does what is right, and who saves. There is no God apart from me.
22 Обратитеся ко Мне и спасетеся, иже от края земнаго: Аз есмь Бог, и несть иного.
Everyone on earth, come to me and be saved, for I am God and there is no God apart from me.
23 Кленуся Мною Самим, аще не изыдет изо уст Моих правда, словеса Моя не возвратятся: яко Мне поклонится всяко колено, и исповестся всяк язык Богови, глаголя:
I have sworn by my own self, I have spoken what is right, and I won't ever go back on it. Everyone shall bow before me; everyone shall acknowledge me.
24 правда и слава к Нему приидет: и посрамятся вси отлучающиися.
They will say about me, “Salvation and strength can only be found in the Lord.” Everyone who has fought against him will come to him and will be ashamed.
25 От Господа оправдятся, и о Бозе прославится все семя сынов Израилевых.
But in the Lord all the descendants of Israel will be made right, and they will glory in him.
