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. Listen, you peoples, from afar: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the inside of my mother, he has mentioned 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,
He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.
3 и рече Ми: раб Мой еси Ты, Израилю, и в Тебе прославлюся.
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 in vain for nothing; yet surely the justice due to me is with Yahweh, 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 Yahweh, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, says to bring Jacob again to him, and to gather Israel to him, for I am honorable in Yahweh’s eyes, 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.
Indeed, he says, “It is too light 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 be my 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.
Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and rise up, princes, and they shall worship, because of Yahweh 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,
Yahweh says, “I have answered you in an acceptable time. I have helped you in a day of salvation. I will preserve you and give you for a covenant of 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 along the paths, and their pasture shall be on all treeless heights.
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. He will guide them by springs of water.
11 И положу всяку гору в путь и всяку стезю в паству им.
I will make all my mountains a road, and my highways shall be exalted.
12 Се, сии издалеча приидут, сии от севера и от моря, инии же от земли Персския.
Behold, these shall come from afar, and behold, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim.”
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! Break out into singing, mountains! For Yahweh 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, “Yahweh 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.
“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,
Behold, I have engraved 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 children hurry. Your destroyers and those who devastated you will leave 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 Yahweh, “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 that land will be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up will 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 will say in your ears, ‘This place is too small for me. Give me a place to live in.’
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 alone, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought these up? Behold, I was left alone. Where were these?’”
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.
The Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and lift up my banner to the peoples. 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 foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am Yahweh; and those who wait for me won’t be disappointed.”
24 Еда возмет кто от исполина корысти? И аще кто пленит неправедне, спасетлися?
Shall the plunder be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives 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 Yahweh says, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the plunder retrieved from the fierce, 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 will be drunk on their own blood, as with sweet wine. Then all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
