Книга пророка Исаии 48
1 Услышите сия, доме Иаковль, прозваннии именем Израилевым и изшедшии из Иуды, кленущиися именем Господа Бога Израилева, поминающии не со истиною, ниже со правдою,
"Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness
2 и придержащиися имени града святаго, и о Бозе Израилеве подтверждающиися: Господь Саваоф имя Ему.
(for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; the LORD of hosts is his name):
3 Преждняя еще возвестих, и из уст Моих изыдоша, и слышано бысть: внезапу сотворих, и найде.
I have declared the former things from of old; yes, they went forth out of my mouth, and I caused them to hear it. Suddenly I did them, and they happened.
4 Вем, яко жесток еси, и жила железна выя твоя, и чело твое медяно.
Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;
5 И возвестих ти, яже древле, прежде неже приити на тя: слышана тебе сотворих, да не когда речеши, яко идоли мне сия сотвориша, и не рцы, яко изваянная и слиянная заповедаша мне.
therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, 'My idol has done them, and my engraved image, and my molten image, has commanded them.'
6 Слышасте вся, и вы не разуместе: но и слышана тебе сотворих новая отныне, яже имут быти:
You have heard it; see all this; and you, will you not declare it? "I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.
7 и не рекл еси: ныне бывают, а не прежде, и не в преждния дни слышал еси сия: не рцы: ей, вем сия.
They are created now, and not from of old; and before this day you did not hear them; lest you should say, 'Look, I knew them.'
8 Не ведел еси, ниже разумел еси, ниже исперва отверзох ушеса твоя: ведех бо, яко отвергая отринеши и беззаконник еще от чрева прозовешися.
Yes, you did not hear; yes, you did not know; yes, from of old your ear was not opened: for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and was called a transgressor from the womb.
9 Имене Моего ради покажу ти ярость Мою, и славная Моя наведу на тя, да не потреблю тебе.
For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I not cut you off.
10 Се, продах тя не сребра ради: изях же тя из пещи убожества.
Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
11 Мене ради сотворю ти, яко Мое имя оскверняется, и славы Моея иному не дам.
For my own sake, for my own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.
12 Послушай Мене, Иакове и Израилю, егоже Аз призываю: Аз есмь первый и Аз есмь во век.
"Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 И рука Моя основа землю, и десница Моя утверди небо: призову я, и станут вкупе,
Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.
14 и соберутся вси и услышат: кто им возвести сия? Любя тя сотворих волю твою над Вавилоном, еже отяти племя Халдейско.
"Let all of them assemble and hear; who among them has declared these things? He whom the LORD loves shall perform his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
15 Аз глаголах, Аз призвах, приведох и, и благопоспешит путь его.
I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
16 Приступите ко Мне и слышите сия, исперва не отай глаголах: егда бываху, тамо бех, и ныне Господь Господь посла Мя и Дух Его.
"Come near to me and hear this: "From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I." Now the LORD has sent me, with his Ruach.
17 Тако глаголет Господь, Избавивый тя, Святый Израилев: Аз есмь Господь Бог твой, научих тя, еже обрести тебе путь, по немуже пойдеши.
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
18 И аще бы еси послушал заповедий Моих, то был бы убо аки река мир твой, и правда твоя яко волна морская,
But would that you had listened to my commandments. Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 и было бы яко песок семя твое, и изчадия чрева твоего яко персть земли: ниже ныне потребишися, ниже погибнет имя твое предо Мною.
Your descendants would have been as the sand, and the offspring of your body like its grains; his name not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.
20 Изыди от Вавилона, бежай от Халдеев: глас радости возвестите, и да слышано будет сие, возвестите даже до последних земли, глаголите: избави Господь раба Своего Иакова.
Go forth from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare, tell this, send it out throughout the earth. Say, 'The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob.'
21 И аще вжаждут, пустынею проведет их и воду из камене изведет им: разсядется камень, и потечет вода, и испиют людие Мои.
They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he split the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
22 Несть радоватися нечестивым, глаголет Господь.
"There is no peace," says the LORD, "for the wicked."
