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.
“All you [people who are in exile], listen to me! [It is as though] [MET] you are thirsty, so come and get water from me! [It is as though] you have no money, but you can come and get things from me [that are like] wine and milk! You can get [what you need from me], [and] you will not need to give me any money for them!
2 Вскую цените сребро не в хлебы, и труд ваш не в сытость? Послушайте Мене, и снесте благая, и насладится во благих душа ваша.
[What you really need is to have a close relationship with me], so (why do you spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need?/you should not spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need.) [RHQ] (Why do you work hard to get money to buy things that do not (satisfy your [inner beings]/cause you to be happy)?) [RHQ] Pay attention to what I say and acquire what is really good [MET]! If you do that, then you will truly be happy [MET].
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.
Listen to me and come to me; pay attention to me, and if you do that, you will have new life in your souls. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever to faithfully love you like I loved [King] David.
4 Се, свидетелство во языцех дах Его, князя и повелителя языком.
By what he did, I showed [my power to many] people-groups; I caused him to be a leader and commander [DOU] over [the people of many nations].
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.
And similarly, you will summon people of other nations to come to you, nations that previously you have not heard about, and they had not heard about you; and they will come to you quickly because [they will have heard that I], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, have honored you.
6 Взыщите Господа, и внегда обрести вам Того, призовите: егда же приближится к вам,
Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am 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.
Wicked [people] should abandon their wicked behavior, and evil people should stop thinking what is evil. They should turn to me, and if they do that, I will act mercifully toward them; they should turn to me, their God, because I will fully pardon them [for all the wicked things that they have done].
8 Не суть бо совети Мои якоже совети ваши, ниже якоже путие ваши путие Мои, глаголет Господь.
I, Yahweh, declare that what I think is not the same as what you think, and what I do is very different from what you do.
9 Но якоже отстоит небо от земли, тако отстоит путь Мой от путий ваших, и помышления ваша от мысли Моея.
Just as the sky is far above the earth, what I do is far greater than what you do, and what I think is much greater than what you think.
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:
Rain and snow come down from the sky, and they cause the ground to be moist before the moisture returns [to the sky and produces more clouds]. When the ground becomes moist, it causes plants to sprout and grow, with the result that the soil produces seed for the farmer [to plant] and [grain to produce flour to make] bread for people to eat.
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.
And similarly the things that I promise to do, I will [always] cause to happen; my promises will [always] be fulfilled [LIT]. They will accomplish the things that I gave them to accomplish [DOU].
12 Со веселием бо изыдете и с радостию научитеся: горы бо и холми возскачут ждуще вас с радостию, и вся древеса селная восплещут ветвьми:
You will leave [Babylon] joyfully, you will have peace as I lead you out. [It will be as though] the hills and mountains will sing joyfully, and the trees in the fields will 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 thornbushes and briers, pine/cypress [trees] and myrtle [trees] will grow [in your land]. As a result of that, people will honor me much more; and what I do will remind everyone that [I do what I have promised].”
