< Книга пророка Исаии 51 >
1 Послушайте Мене, гонящии правду и взыскающии Господа, воззрите на твердый камень, егоже изсекосте, и в юдоль потока, юже ископасте.
"Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Jehovah: look to the rock you were cut from, and to the hold of the pit you were dug from.
2 Воззрите на Авраама отца вашего и на Сарру породившую вы: яко един бе, и призвах его, и благослових его, и возлюбих его, и умножих его.
Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
3 И тебе ныне утешу, Сионе, и утеших вся пустыни его, и поставлю пустыню его яко рай, и яже ко западом его аки рай Господень: радость и веселие обрящут в нем, исповедание и глас хваления.
For Jehovah has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah; joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4 Послушайте Мене, людие Мои, послушайте, и царие, ко Мне внушите: яко закон от Мене изыдет, и суд Мой во свет языком.
"Attend to me, my people; and give ear to me, my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
5 Приближается скоро правда Моя, и изыдет яко свет спасение Мое, и на мышцу Мою языцы надеятися будут: Мене острови ожидати и на мышцу Мою уповати будут.
My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples; the islands shall wait for me, and on my arm shall they trust.
6 Воздвигните на небо очи ваши и воззрите на землю долу, понеже небо яко дым утвердися, и земля яко риза обетшает, живущии же на земли якоже сия изомрут, спасение же Мое во век будет, и правда Моя не оскудеет.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and those who dwell in it shall die in the same way: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 Послушайте Мене, ведящии суд, людие Мои, имже закон Мой в сердцы вашем, не бойтеся укорения человеча и похулению их не покаряйтеся.
"Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; do not fear the reproach of men, neither be dismayed at their insults.
8 Якоже бо риза снедена будет временем, и яко сукно изястся мольми, правда же Моя во веки будет и спасение Мое в роды родов.
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations."
9 Востани, востани, Иерусалиме, и облецыся во крепость мышцы твоея, востани яко в начале дне, яко род века: не ты ли еси победил гордаго и расторгнул змиа?
Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn't it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
10 Не ты ли еси опустошаяй море, воду бездны многу? Положивый глубины морския путь прохода изятым и избавленым?
Isn't it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11 Господем бо возвратятся и приидут в Сион с радостию и со веселием вечным: на главе бо их веселие и хвала, и радость приимет я: отбеже болезнь и печаль и воздыхание.
The ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
12 Аз есмь, Аз есмь Утешаяй тя: разумей, кто сый убоялся еси человека смертна и сына человеча, иже яко трава изсхоша,
"I, even I, am he who comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass;
13 и забыл еси Бога Создавшаго тя, Сотворшаго небо и основавшаго землю: и боялся еси присно во вся дни лица ярости стужающаго тебе: како бо восхоте взяти тя, и ныне где ярость стужающаго тебе?
and have forgotten Jehovah your Maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 Внегда бо спастися тебе, не станет, ниже умедлит:
The captive exile shall speedily be freed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
15 яко Аз Бог твой, возмущаяй море и творяй шум волнам его: Господь Саваоф имя Мне.
For I am Jehovah your God, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
16 Положу словеса Моя во уста твоя и под сению руки Моея покрыю тя, еюже поставих небо и основах землю: и речет Сиону: людие Мои есте вы.
I have put my words in your mouth, and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, 'You are my people.'"
17 Востани, востани, воскресени, Иерусалиме, испивый чашу ярости от руки Господни: чашу бо падения, фиал ярости испил и истощил еси,
Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, that have drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; you have drunk from the bowl, of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
18 и не бысть утешаяй тебе от всех чад твоих, яже родил еси, и не бысть подемлющаго руки твоея, ниже от всех сынов твоих, ихже вознесл еси.
There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons who she has brought up.
19 Два сия противна тебе, кто сожалеет тебе? Падение и сокрушение, глад и мечь, кто утешит тя?
These two things have happened to you. Who will grieve for you? Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. Who will console you?
20 Сынове твои обнищавшии, седяще на краи всякаго исхода, яко свекла недовареная, исполнени ярости Господни, разслаблени Господем Богом.
Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of your God.
21 Сего ради слыши, смиренный и упивыйся не вином:
Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunk, but not with wine:
22 тако глаголет Господь Бог судяй людем Своим: се, взях от руки твоея чашу падения, фиал ярости Моея, и не приложиши ксему пити ея:
Thus says your Lord Jehovah, your God who pleads the cause of his people, "Look, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; you shall no more drink it again:
23 и вложу ю в руце преобидевших тя и смиривших тя, иже рекоша души твоей: преклонися, да минем: и положил еси равно земли плещы твоя отвне мимоходящым.
and I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, 'Bow down, that we may walk over you;' and you have laid your back as the ground, and as the street, to those who walk over."
