Книга пророка Исаии 49
1 Послушайте Мене, острови, и внемлите, языцы. Временем многим стояти будет, глаголет Господь: от чрева матере Моея нарече имя Мое,
Listen to me, you islands; and attend, you Gentiles; after a long time it shall come to pass, says the Lord: from my mother's womb he has called my name:
2 и положи уста Моя яко мечь остр, и под кровом руки Своея скры Мя: положи Мя яко стрелу избранну, и в туле своем скры Мя,
and he has made my mouth as a sharp sword, and he has hid me under the shadow of his hand; he has made me as a choice shaft, and he has hid me in his quiver;
3 и рече Ми: раб Мой еси Ты, Израилю, и в Тебе прославлюся.
and said to me, You are my servant, O Israel, and in you I will be glorified.
4 Аз же рекох: вотще трудихся, всуе и ни во что дах крепость Мою: сего ради суд Мой пред Господем и труд Мой пред Богом Моим.
Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have given my strength for vanity and for nothing: therefore is my judgment with the Lord, and my labor before my God.
5 И ныне тако глаголет Господь, создавый Мя от чрева раба Себе, еже собрати Иакова к Нему и Израиля: соберуся и прославлюся пред Господем, и Бог Мой будет Мне крепость.
And now, thus says the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his own servant, to gather Jacob to him and Israel. I shall be gathered and glorified before the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.
6 И рече Ми: велие Ти есть, еже назватися Тебе рабом Моим, еже возставити племена Иаковля и разсеяние Израилево обратити: се, дах Тя в завет рода, во свет языком, еже быти Тебе во спасение даже до последних земли.
And he said to me, [It is] a great thing for you to be called my servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to recover the dispersion of Israel: behold, I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the end of the earth.
7 Тако глаголет Господь, Избавивый Тя Бог Израилев: освятите уничижающаго душу Свою, гнушаемаго от язык рабов княжеских: царие узрят Его, и востанут князи и поклонятся Ему Господа ради, яко верен есть Святый Израилев, и избрах Тя.
Thus says the Lord that delivered you, the God of Israel, Sanctify him that despises his life, him that is abhorred by the nations that are the servants of princes: kings shall behold him, and princes shall arise, and shall worship him, for the Lord's sake: for the Holy One of Israel is faithful, and I have chosen you.
8 Тако глаголет Господь: во время приятно послушах Тебе и в день спасения помогох Ти, и сотворих Тя и дах Тя в завет вечный языков, еже устроити землю и наследити наследия пустыни,
Thus says the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of salvation have I succored you: and I have formed you, and given you for a covenant of the nations, to establish the earth, and to cause to inherit the desert heritages:
9 глаголюща сущым во узах: изыдите, и сущым во тме: открыйтеся. На всех путех пастися будут, и на всех стезях пажить их:
saying to them that are in bonds, Go forth; and [bidding] them that are in darkness show themselves. They shall be fed in all the ways, and in all the paths [shall be] their pasture.
10 не взалчут, ниже вжаждут, ниже поразит их зной, ниже солнце, но Милуяй их утешит их и сквозе источники водныя проведет их.
They shall not hunger, neither shall they thirst; neither shall the heat nor the sun strike them; but he that has mercy on them shall comfort [them], and by fountains of waters shall he lead them.
11 И положу всяку гору в путь и всяку стезю в паству им.
And I will make every mountain a way, and every path a pasture to them.
12 Се, сии издалеча приидут, сии от севера и от моря, инии же от земли Персския.
Behold, these shall come from far: [and] these from the north and the west, and others from the land of the Persians.
13 Радуйтеся, небеса, и веселися, земле, да отрыгнут горы веселие и холми правду, яко помилова Бог люди Своя и смиренныя людий Своих утеши.
Rejoice, you heavens; and let the earth be glad: let the mountains break forth [with] joy; for the Lard has had mercy on his people, and has comforted the lowly ones of his people.
14 Рече же Сион: остави мя Господь, и Бог забы мя.
But Sion said, The Lord has forsaken me, and, The Lord has forgotten me.
15 Еда забудет жена отроча свое, еже не помиловати изчадия чрева своего? Аще же и забудет сих жена, но Аз не забуду тебе, глаголет Господь.
Will a woman forget her child, so as not to have compassion upon the offspring of her womb? but if a woman should even forget these, yet I will not forget you, says the Lord.
16 Се, на руках Моих написах стены твоя, и предо Мною еси присно,
Behold, I have painted your walls on my hands, and you are continually before me.
17 и вскоре возградишися, от нихже разорился еси, и опустошившии тя изыдут из тебе.
And you shall soon be built by those by whom you were destroyed, and they that made you desolate shall go forth of you.
18 Возведи окрест очи твои и виждь вся, се, собрашася приидоша к тебе, живу Аз, глаголет Господь: яко всеми ими аки в красоту облечешися и обложиши себе ими яко утварию невеста.
Lift up your eyes round about, and look on them all; behold, they are gathered together, and are come to you. [As] I live, says the Lord, you shall clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and put them on as a bride her attire.
19 Понеже пустая твоя и разсыпаная и падшая ныне утеснеют от обитающих, и удалятся от тебе поглощающии тя.
For your desert and marred and ruined [places] shall now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that devoured you shall be removed far from you.
20 Рекут бо во ушы твои сынове твои, ихже был погубил еси: тесно ми место, сотвори ми место, да вселюся.
For your sons whom you have lost shall say in your ears, The place [is too] narrow for me: make room for me that I may dwell.
21 И речеши в сердцы своем: кто мне породи сих? Аз же безчадна и вдова, сих же кто воспита мне? Аз же остахся едина, сии же мне где быша?
And you shall say in your heart, Who has begotten me these? whereas I [was] childless, and a widow; but who has brought up these for me? and I was left alone; but whence came these to me?
22 Тако глаголет Господь Господь: се, воздвизаю на языки руку Мою и на островы воздвигну знамение Мое, и приведут сыны твоя в лоне и дщери твоя на плещах возмут.
Thus says the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lift up mine hand to the nations, and I will lift up my signal to the islands: and they shall bring your sons in [their] bosom, and shall bear your daughters on [their] shoulders.
23 И будут царие кормителие твои, и княгини их кормилицы твоя: до лица земли поклонятся тебе и прах ног твоих оближут, и увеси, яко Аз Господь Бог, и не посрамятся терпящии Мя.
And kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their princesses your nurses, they shall bow down to you on the face of the earth, and shall lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am the Lord, and they that wait on me shall not be ashamed.
24 Еда возмет кто от исполина корысти? И аще кто пленит неправедне, спасетлися?
Will any one take spoils from a giant? and if one should take [a man] captive unjustly, shall he be delivered?
25 Зане тако глаголет Господь: аще кто пленит исполина, возмет корысти: вземляй же от крепкаго спасется: Аз же прю твою разсужду и Аз сыны твоя избавлю:
For thus says the Lord, If one should take a giant captive, he shall take spoils, and he who takes [them] from a mighty [man] shall be delivered: for I will plead your cause, and I will deliver your children.
26 и оскорбившии тебе снедят плоть свою и испиют яко вино ново кровь свою, и упиются: и увесть всяка плоть, яко Аз Господь Избавивый тя и заступаяй крепость Иаковлю.
And they that afflicted you shall eat their own flesh; and they shall drink their own blood as new wine, and shall be drunken: and all flesh shall perceive that I am the Lord that delivers you, and that upholds the strength of Jacob.
