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 righteous perish, and no one lays it to heart. Merciful men are taken away, and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
2 Будет с миром погребение его, взяся от среды.
He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
3 Вы же приидите семо, сынове беззаконнии, семя прелюбодеев и блудницы:
“But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.
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 do you mock? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out your tongue? Aren’t you children of disobedience and offspring of falsehood,
5 молящиися кумиром под древием частым, закалающе чада своя в дебрех посреде камения?
you who inflame yourselves amongst the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6 То твоя часть, сей твой жребий, и тем пролиял еси возлияния, и тем принесл еси жертвы: о сих убо не разгневаюся ли?
Amongst the smooth stones of the valley is your portion. They, they are your lot. You have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
7 На горе высоце и превознесенне, тамо твое ложе, и тамо вознесл еси требы твоя:
On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
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,
You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts, for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me, and have gone up. You have enlarged your bed and made you a covenant with them. You loved what you saw on their bed.
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)
You went to the king with oil, increased your perfumes, sent your ambassadors far off, and degraded yourself even to Sheol. (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 were wearied with the length of your ways; yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren’t faint.
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.
“Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven’t I held my peace for a long time, and you don’t fear me?
12 И аз возвещу правду твою и злобы твоя, яже не успеют тебе:
I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they 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, let those whom you have gathered deliver you, but the wind will take them. A breath will carry them all away, but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.”
14 И рекут: очистите пред лицем его пути и отимите претыкания от пути людий Моих.
He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling-block 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 the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite 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 forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.
17 За грех мало что опечалих его и поразих его и отвратих лице Мое от него: и опечалися и пойде дряхл во путех своих.
I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness and struck him. I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
18 Пути его видех и изцелих его, и утеших его и дах ему утешение истинно,
I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
19 мир на мир далече и близ сущым: и рече Господь: изцелю я.
I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says the LORD; “and I will heal them.”
20 Неправеднии же возволнуются и почити не возмогут.
But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can’t rest and its waters cast up mire and mud.
21 Несть радоватися нечестивым, рече Господь Бог.
“There is no peace”, says my God, “for the wicked.”
