Книга пророка Исаии 46
1 Паде Вил, сокрушися Дагон, быша ваяния их во звери и скоты: носите я связана яко бремя труждающемуся и разслабевшу,
Bel has bowed down, Nebo is stooping, Their idols have been for the beast and for livestock, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
2 и алчущу и не могущу вкупе, иже не возмогут спастися от рати, сами же пленени приведошася.
They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And have gone into captivity themselves.
3 Послушайте Мене, доме Иаковль и весь останок Израилев, носимии от чрева и наказуемии от детска даже до старости:
“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,
4 Аз есмь, и дондеже состареетеся, Аз есмь, Аз терплю вам, Аз сотворих и Аз понесу, Аз подиму и спасу вы.
Even to old age, I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and deliver.
5 Кому Мя уподобисте? Видите, ухитрите, заблуждающии,
To whom do you liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
6 слагающии злато из меха, и сребро весом поставляют в мериле, и наемше златаря сотвориша рукотворенная, и преклоншеся покланяются им:
They are pouring out gold from a bag, And they weigh silver on the beam, They hire a refiner, and he makes it a god, They fall down, indeed, they bow themselves.
7 воздвижут я на рамех и ходят: аще же положат я на месте своем, ту лежат, ниже подвижутся: и иже аще возопиет к ним, не услышат, от бед не спасут его.
They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he stands, he does not move from his place, Indeed, one cries to him, and he does not answer, He does not save him from his adversity.
8 Помяните сия и возстените, покайтеся, прельстившиися, обратитеся сердцем
Remember this, and show yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
9 и помяните первая от века, яко Аз есмь Бог, и несть еще разве Мене:
Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God—and there is none like Me.
10 возвещаяй первее последняя, прежде неже быти им, и абие сбышася: и рекох: весь совет Мой станет, и вся, елика совещах, сотворю.
Declaring the latter end from the beginning, And from of old that which has not been done, Saying, My counsel stands, And all My delight I do.
11 Призываяй от восток птицу, и от земли издалеча, о нихже совещах: рекох и приведох, создах и сотворих, приведох и и благопоспеших путь его.
Calling a ravenous bird from the east, The man of My counsel from a far land, Indeed, I have spoken, indeed, I bring it in, I have formed [it], indeed, I do it.
12 Послушайте Мене, погубльшии сердце, сущии далече от правды:
Listen to Me, you mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
13 приближих правду Мою, и не удалится, и спасение, еже от Мене, не умедлю: дах в Сионе спасение Израилю во прославление.
I have brought My righteousness near, It is not far off, And My salvation—it does not linger, And I have given salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory!”
