Книга пророка Исаии 50
1 Тако глаголет Господь: кая книга отпущения матере вашея, еюже отпустих ю? Или коему заимодавцу продах вы? Се, грехми вашими продастеся, и беззаконий ради ваших отпустих матерь вашу.
Thus hath said the Lord, Where is your mother's bill of divorcement, wherewith I have sent her away? or who of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? behold, for your iniquities were ye sold, and for your transgressions was your mother sent away.
2 Что яко приидох, и не бяше человека? Звах, и не бе послушающаго? Еда не может рука Моя избавити, или не могу изяти? Се, запрещением Моим опустошу море и положу реки пусты, и изсхнут рыбы их не сущей воде и умрут жаждею:
Why did I come and no man was there, did I call, with none to answer? hath my hand become too short for redeeming? or is there no power in me to deliver? behold, through my threatening I can dry up the sea, I can change the rivers into a wilderness: their fish stink for want of water, and die for thirst.
3 облеку небо во тму и положу аки вретище одежду его.
I can clothe the heavens with blackness, and I can make sackcloth their garment.
4 Господь Господь дает Мне язык научения, еже разумети, егда подобает рещи слово: положи Мя утро утро, приложи Ми ухо, еже слышати,
The Lord Eternal hath given me a tongue for teaching, that I should know how to strengthen the weary with the word: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth my ear to listen like those who are well taught.
5 и наказание Господне отверзает ушы Мои: Аз же не противлюся, ни противоглаголю.
The Lord Eternal hath opened me my ear, and I resisted not: I turned not backward.
6 Плещы Мои вдах на раны и ланите Мои на заушения, лица же Моего не отвратих от студа заплеваний,
My back I gave up to the smiters, and my cheeks to those that plucked off the hair: my face I hid not from abuse and spitting.
7 и Господь Господь помощник Ми бысть: сего ради не усрамихся, но положих лице Свое аки твердый камень и разумех, яко не постыждуся:
But the Lord Eternal ever helpeth me; therefore was I not confounded; therefore have I rendered my face like a flint, and I knew that I should not be made ashamed.
8 зане приближается оправдавый Мя. Кто пряйся со Мною? Да сопротивостанет Мне купно. И кто судяйся со Мною? Да приближится ко Мне.
He that justifieth me is near; who will contend with me? let us stand forward together: who hath a dispute with me? let him come near to me.
9 Се, Господь Господь поможет Ми: кто озлобит Мя? Се, вси вы яко риза обетшаете, и яко молие изяст вы.
Behold, the Lord Eternal will help me; who is the man that will condemn me? lo, they all shall wear out as a garment: the moth shall eat them up.
10 Кто в вас бояйся Господа? Да послушает гласа Отрока Его. Ходящии во тме, и несть им света, надейтеся на имя Господне и утвердитеся о Бозе.
Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that hearkeneth to the voice of his servant? though he have walked in darkness, and had no light: let him trust in the name of the Lord, and lean for support upon his God.
11 Се, вси вы огнь раждизаете и укрепляете пламень: ходите светом огня вашего и пламенем, егоже разжегосте. Мене ради быша сия вам, в печали успнете.
Behold, all ye that kindle fire, that urge on the brands: walk by the blaze of your fire, and by the brands ye have kindled; from my hand hath this been bestowed on you; in pain shall ye lie down.
