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, islands, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: Jehovah has called me from the womb; from the body of my mother has he made mention of 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 like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden me; and he has made me a polished arrow, in his quiver has he kept me close:
3 и рече Ми: раб Мой еси Ты, Израилю, и в Тебе прославлюся.
and he said to me, "You are my servant; Israel, in whom 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.
But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with Jehovah, and my reward with 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.
Now says Jehovah who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him; for I am honorable in the eyes of Jehovah, and my God has become 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 says, "Is it too insignificant a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel? I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part 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 Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to the one who is despised, to those abhorred as a nation, the servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Jehovah who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has 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 Jehovah, "In an acceptable time I have answered you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you as a covenant to the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:
9 глаголюща сущым во узах: изыдите, и сущым во тме: открыйтеся. На всех путех пастися будут, и на всех стезях пажить их:
saying to those who are bound, 'Come out.'; to those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves.' "They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights 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 nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide them.
11 И положу всяку гору в путь и всяку стезю в паству им.
I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
12 Се, сии издалеча приидут, сии от севера и от моря, инии же от земли Персския.
Look, these shall come from far; and look, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Syene."
13 Радуйтеся, небеса, и веселися, земле, да отрыгнут горы веселие и холми правду, яко помилова Бог люди Своя и смиренныя людий Своих утеши.
Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into singing, mountains: for Jehovah has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.
14 Рече же Сион: остави мя Господь, и Бог забы мя.
But Zion said, "Jehovah has forsaken me, and my 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.
"Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
16 Се, на руках Моих написах стены твоя, и предо Мною еси присно,
Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
17 и вскоре возградишися, от нихже разорился еси, и опустошившии тя изыдут из тебе.
Your builders hurry; your destroyers and those who devastated you shall depart from 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 all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live," says Jehovah, "you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.
19 Понеже пустая твоя и разсыпаная и падшая ныне утеснеют от обитающих, и удалятся от тебе поглощающии тя.
"For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.
20 Рекут бо во ушы твои сынове твои, ихже был погубил еси: тесно ми место, сотвори ми место, да вселюся.
The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to 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?
Then you will say in your heart, 'Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought up these? Look, I was left alone; these, where were they?'"
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 Jehovah, "Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried 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.
Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Jehovah; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed."
24 Еда возмет кто от исполина корысти? И аще кто пленит неправедне, спасетлися?
Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant 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:
But thus says Jehovah, "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the tyrant shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save 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.
I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
