Книга пророка Исаии 57
1 Видите, како праведный погибе, и никтоже не приемлет сердцем, и мужие праведнии вземлются, и никтоже разумеет: от лица бо неправды взяся праведный.
The just man perishes, and there is no one who acknowledges it in his heart; and men of mercy are taken away, for there is no one who understands. For the just man has been taken away before the face of malice.
2 Будет с миром погребение его, взяся от среды.
Let peace arrive. Let he who has walked in his righteousness find rest on his bed.
3 Вы же приидите семо, сынове беззаконнии, семя прелюбодеев и блудницы:
But come here, you sons of the prophetess, you offspring of an adulterous man and a fornicating woman.
4 в чем услаждастеся и на кого отверзосте уста ваша? И на кого изсунусте язык ваш? Не вы ли есте чада пагубы, семя беззаконно,
Whom are you mocking? Against whom have you opened your mouth wide and wagged your tongue? Are you not sons of wickedness, a lying offspring,
5 молящиися кумиром под древием частым, закалающе чада своя в дебрех посреде камения?
who are being consoled by idols under every leafy tree, immolating little children at the torrents, under the high rocks?
6 То твоя часть, сей твой жребий, и тем пролиял еси возлияния, и тем принесл еси жертвы: о сих убо не разгневаюся ли?
Your portion is in the currents of the torrent; this is your lot! And you yourselves have poured out libations to them; you have offered sacrifice. Should I not be angry over these things?
7 На горе высоце и превознесенне, тамо твое ложе, и тамо вознесл еси требы твоя:
Upon a high and lofty mountain, you have placed your bed, and you have ascended to that place to immolate victims.
8 и за подвоями дверий твоих положил еси память твою: мыслил еси, яко аще от Мене отступиши, более нечто возимееши: возлюбил еси спящыя с тобою,
And behind the door, and beyond the post, you have set up your memorial. For you uncovered yourself next to me, and you received an adulterer. You widened your bed, and you formed a pact with them. You loved their bed with an open hand.
9 и умножил еси блужение твое с ними, и многи сотворил, иже далече от тебе, и послал еси послы за пределы твоя, и смирился еси даже до ада. (Sheol h7585)
And you have adorned yourself for the king with ointments, and you have increased your cosmetics. You have sent your representatives to distant places, and you have debased yourself all the way to Hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 Многими путьми твоими трудился еси, и не рекл еси: престану крепящься, яко сотворил еси сия, сего ради не помолился ми еси ты.
You have been wearied by the multitude of your own ways. Yet you did not say, “I will cease.” You have found life by your own hand; because of this, you have not prayed.
11 Кого благопочет убоялся еси, и солгал Ми, и не помянул еси Мене, ниже приял Мя еси во ум, ниже в сердце твое? И Аз тя видя, презираю, и не убоялся еси Мене.
For whose sake have you been anxiously afraid, so that you would lie and not be mindful of me, nor consider me in your heart? For I am silent, and I am like someone who does not see, and so you have forgotten me.
12 И аз возвещу правду твою и злобы твоя, яже не успеют тебе:
I will announce your justice, and your works will not benefit you.
13 егда возопиеши, да избавят тя во печалех твоих: сия бо вся ветр возмет, и отнесет буря: а держащиися Мене стяжут землю и наследят гору святую Мою.
When you cry out, let your followers free you. But the wind will carry them all away; a breeze will take them up. But he who has faith in me will inherit the earth and will possess my holy mountain.
14 И рекут: очистите пред лицем его пути и отимите претыкания от пути людий Моих.
And I will say: “Make way! Grant passage! Move to the side of the path! Take the obstacles out of the way of my people!”
15 Сия глаголет Господь Вышний, Иже живет во высоких во век, Святый во святых имя Ему, Вышний, во святых почиваяй, и малодушным даяй долготерпение и даяй живот сокрушеным сердцем:
For this is said by the Most High, the Sublime One, who dwells in eternity. And his name is Holy, for he dwells in the exalted and holy place, and he acts with a restrained and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 не во век отмщу вам, ни всегда гневатися буду на вы: дух бо от Мене изыдет, и всякое дыхание Аз сотворих.
For I will not contend unceasingly, and I will not be angry to the end. For I will exhale my breath, and the Spirit will go forth from my face.
17 За грех мало что опечалих его и поразих его и отвратих лице Мое от него: и опечалися и пойде дряхл во путех своих.
Because of the iniquity of his avarice, I was angry, and I struck him down. I concealed my face from you, and I was angry. And he went astray by wandering in his heart.
18 Пути его видех и изцелих его, и утеших его и дах ему утешение истинно,
I saw his ways, and I healed him, and I led him back again, and I restored consolations to him and to those who mourn for him.
19 мир на мир далече и близ сущым: и рече Господь: изцелю я.
I created the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him who is far away, and peace to him who is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.
20 Неправеднии же возволнуются и почити не возмогут.
But the impious are like the raging sea, which is not able to be quieted, and its waves stir up dirt and mud.
21 Несть радоватися нечестивым, рече Господь Бог.
There is no peace for the impious, says the Lord God.
