Книга пророка Исаии 55
1 Жаждущии, идите на воду, и елицы не имате сребра, шедше купите, и ядите (и пийте) без сребра и цены вино и тук.
"Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters. Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Вскую цените сребро не в хлебы, и труд ваш не в сытость? Послушайте Мене, и снесте благая, и насладится во благих душа ваша.
Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which doesn't satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Внемлите ушима вашима и последуйте путем Моим: послушайте Мене, и жива будет во благих душа ваша, и завещаю вам завет вечен, преподобная Давидова верная.
Turn your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the faithful kindnesses of David.
4 Се, свидетелство во языцех дах Его, князя и повелителя языком.
Look, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
5 Се, языцы, иже не ведяху тебе, призовут тя, и людие, иже не познаша тебе, ко тебе прибегнут ради Господа Бога твоего, Святаго Израилева, яко прослави тя.
Look, you shall call a nation that you do not know; and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you."
6 Взыщите Господа, и внегда обрести вам Того, призовите: егда же приближится к вам,
Seek the LORD while he may be found; call you on him while he is near:
7 да оставит нечестивый пути своя, и муж беззаконен советы своя, и да обратится ко Господу, и помилован будет, яко попремногу оставит грехи вашя.
let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 Не суть бо совети Мои якоже совети ваши, ниже якоже путие ваши путие Мои, глаголет Господь.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," says the LORD.
9 Но якоже отстоит небо от земли, тако отстоит путь Мой от путий ваших, и помышления ваша от мысли Моея.
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 Якоже бо аще снидет дождь или снег с небесе, и не возвратится, дондеже напоит землю, и родит, и прозябнет, и даст семя сеющему и хлеб в снедь:
For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn't return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 тако будет глаголгол Мой, иже аще изыдет из уст Моих, не возвратится ко Мне тощь, дондеже совершит (вся), елика восхотех, и поспешу пути твоя и заповеди Моя.
so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
12 Со веселием бо изыдете и с радостию научитеся: горы бо и холми возскачут ждуще вас с радостию, и вся древеса селная восплещут ветвьми:
For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands.
13 и вместо драчия взыдет кипарис, и вместо кропивы взыдет мирсина: и будет Господь во имя и во знамение вечное, и не оскудеет.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree; and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."
