Книга пророка Исаии 52
1 Востани, востани, Сионе, облецыся во крепость твою, Сионе, и ты облецыся во славу твою, Иерусалиме, граде святый, ктому не приложит проити сквозе тя необрезанный и нечистый.
Wake up, wake up, Zion! Be strong! Put on your best clothes, Jerusalem, the holy city. Heathen foreigners won't ever enter you again.
2 Истряси прах и востани, сяди, Иерусалиме, совлецы узу выи твоея, плененая дщи Сионя.
Shake yourself free from the dust and get up. Sit on your throne, Jerusalem. Throw off the chains around your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
3 Яко сия глаголет Господь: туне продани бысте, и не сребром избавитеся.
This is what the Lord says: You were sold for nothing, and you will be bought back without money.
4 Тако глаголет Господь: во Египет снидоша людие Мои прежде, еже пришелцем быти тамо, и во Ассирию нуждею отведошася.
This is what the Lord God says: First of all, my people went to live in Egypt, then Assyria conquered them for no reason.
5 И ныне что зде есте? Сия глаголет Господь: яко взяшася людие Мои туне, чудитеся и плачитеся. Тако глаголет Господь: вас ради присно имя Мое хулится во языцех.
What do have I to do now? asks the Lord. My people have been taken into captivity for no reason. Those who rule them mock them, and I'm treated with contempt that whole time, says the Lord.
6 Сего ради познают людие Мои имя Мое в той день, яко Аз есмь Сам глаголяй, ту есмь.
So I'm going to make sure my people know me; at that time they will know that I am the one who means what he says. Yes, it's me!
7 Коль красны на горах ноги благовествующих мир, благовествующих благая, яко слышано сотворю спасение твое, глаголя: Сионе, воцарится Бог твой.
What a wonderful sight in the mountains is the one running to bring good news, announcing peace and good news, announcing salvation, telling Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Яко глас хранящих тя вознесеся, и гласом вкупе возрадуются: яко очи ко очесем воззрят, егда помилует Господь Сиона.
The city watchmen shout loudly and sing for joy together; they all see the Lord returning to Jerusalem.
9 Да отрыгнут веселие вкупе пустыни Иерусалимския, яко помилова Господь людий Своих и избави Иерусалима:
Let Jerusalem's ruins all sing for joy for the Lord has come to care for his people; he has set Jerusalem free.
10 и открыет Господь мышцу Свою святую пред всеми языки, и узрят вси концы земли спасение, еже от Бога нашего.
The Lord has demonstrated his holy power to all the nations; the whole world will see our God's salvation.
11 Отступите, отступите, изыдите отсюду и нечистоте не прикасайтеся, изыдите от среды его, отлучитеся, носящии сосуды Господни:
Leave, leave, get out of there! Don't bring anything pagan; come out and leave it all behind. Those of you who carry the Lord's sacred articles are to purify yourselves.
12 яко не с мятежем изыдете, ниже убежанием пойдете: пойдет бо пред вами Господь, и собираяй вы Господь Бог Израилев.
But don't leave in a hurry, don't be in a rush as if you're running away, for the Lord will go ahead of you, and he will also protect those at the back.
13 Се, уразумеет отрок Мой и вознесется и прославится зело.
Look: my servant will act wisely; he will be praised highly, he will be elevated in position, and seen as someone people look up to.
14 Якоже ужаснутся о Тебе мнози, тако обезславится от человек вид Твой, и слава Твоя от сынов человеческих.
But many were horrified by him, so disfigured in appearance, no longer looking like a man, so unlike anyone human.
15 Тако удивятся языцы мнози о Нем, и заградят царие уста своя: яко, имже не возвестися о Нем, узрят, и иже не слышаша, уразумеют.
He will surprise many nations, and kings will keep quiet because of him—for they'll see what they haven't been told, and they'll understand what they hadn't heard.
