Книга пророка Исаии 58

1 Возопий крепостию и не пощади: яко трубу возвыси глас твой и возвести людем Моим грехи их и дому Иаковлю беззакония их.

Cry aloud, and spare not; lift up your voice as with a trumpet, and declare to my people their sins, and to the house of Jacob their iniquities.

2 Мене день от дне ищут и разумети пути Моя желают, яко людие правду сотворившии и суда Бога своего не оставившии: просят ныне у Мене суда праведна и приближитися ко Господу желают, глаголюще:

They seek me day by day, and desire to know my ways, as a people that had done righteousness, and had not forsaken the judgment of their God: they now ask of me righteous judgment, and desire to draw near to God,

3 что яко постихомся, и не увидел еси? Смирихом душы нашя, и не уведел еси? Во дни бо пощений ваших обретаете воли вашя, и вся подручныя вашя томите:

saying, Why have we fasted, and you regard not? [why] have we afflicted our souls, and you did not know it? Nay, in the days of your fasts you find your pleasures, and all them that are under your power you wound.

4 аще в судех и сварех поститеся и биете пястьми смиреннаго, вскую Мне поститеся якоже днесь, еже услышану быти с воплем гласу вашему?

If you fast for quarrels and strifes, and strike the lowly with [your] fists, therefore do you fast to me as [you do] this day, so that your voice may be heard in crying?

5 Не сицеваго поста Аз избрах и дне, еже смирити человеку душу свою: ниже аще слячеши яко серп выю твою, и вретище и пепел постелеши, ниже тако наречете пост приятен.

I have not chosen this fast, nor [such] a day for a man to afflict his soul; neither though you should bend down your neck as a ring, and spread under you sackcloth and ashes, neither thus shall you call a fast acceptable.

6 Не таковаго (бо) поста Аз избрах, глаголет Господь: но разрешай всяк соуз неправды, разрушай обдолжения насильных писаний, отпусти сокрушенныя во свободу и всякое писание неправедное раздери:

I have not chosen such a fast, says the Lord; but do you loose every burden of iniquity, do you untie the knots of hard bargains, set the bruised free, and cancel every unjust account.

7 раздробляй алчущым хлеб твой и нищыя безкровныя введи в дом твой: аще видиши нага, одей, и от свойственных племене твоего не презри.

Break your bread to the hungry, and lead the unsheltered poor to your house: if you see one naked, clothe [him], and you shall not disregard the relations of your own seed.

8 Тогда разверзется рано свет твой, и изцеления твоя скоро возсияют, и предидет пред тобою правда твоя, и слава Божия оымет тя.

Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall speedily spring forth: and your righteousness shall go before you, and the glory of God shall compass you.

9 Тогда воззовеши, и Бог услышит тя, и еще глаголющу ти, речет: се, приидох. Аще отимеши от себе соуз и рукобиение и глагол роптания

Then shall you cry, and God shall listen to you; while you are yet speaking he will say, Behold, I am here. If you remove from you the band, and the stretching forth of the hands, and murmuring speech;

10 и даси алчущему хлеб от души твоея и душу смиренную насытиши, тогда возсияет во тме свет твой, и тма твоя будет яко полудне,

and [if] you give bread to the hungry from your heart, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light spring up in darkness, and your darkness [shall be] as noon-day:

11 и будет Бог твой с тобою присно: и насытишися, якоже желает душа твоя, и кости твоя утучнеют, и будут яко вертоград напоен, и яко источник, емуже не оскуде вода: и кости твоя прозябнут яко трава, и разботеют, и наследят роды родов.

and your God shall be with you continually, and you shall be satisfied according as your soul desires; and your bones shall be made fat, and shall be as a well-watered garden, and as a fountain [from] which the water has not failed.

12 И созиждутся пустыни твоя вечныя, и будут основания твоя вечная родом родов: и прозовешися здатель оград, и стези твоя посреде упокоиши.

And your old waste desert [places] shall be built up, and your foundations shall last through all generations; and you shall be called a repairer of breaches, and you shall cause your paths between to be in peace.

13 Аще отвратиши ногу твою от суббот, еже не творити хотений твоих в день святый, и прозовеши субботы сладостны, святы Богови твоему: не воздвигнеши ноги своея на дело, ниже возглаголеши словесе во гневе из уст твоих,

If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, so as not to do your pleasure on the holy days, and shall call the sabbaths delightful, holy to God; [if] you shall not lift up your foot to work, nor speak a word in anger out of your mouth,

14 и будеши уповая на Господа, и возведет тя на благоты земныя, и ухлебит тя наследием Иакова отца твоего: уста бо Господня глаголаша сия.

then shall you trust on the Lord; and he shall bring you up to the good places of the land, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.
