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.
[Yahweh said to me], “Shout loudly! Shout like [SIM] a loud trumpet! Shout to warn my Israeli people about their sins [DOU]!
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 worship me every day; [they come to my temple because they say that] they are eager to know what I want them to do. They act as though they are a nation that does things that are righteous, who would never abandon their God. They request me to decide matters justly, and they delight to come to worship me.
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:
[They say], ‘We have (fasted/abstained from eating food) to please you, but you did not [RHQ] notice our doing that. We humbled ourselves, but you did not [RHQ] pay any attention!’ I will tell you why I did not pay attention. It is because when you fast, you do it only to please yourselves, and you act cruelly toward all your workers.
4 аще в судех и сварех поститеся и биете пястьми смиреннаго, вскую Мне поститеся якоже днесь, еже услышану быти с воплем гласу вашему?
You fast, but you also quarrel and fight [with each other] with your fists. [Doing things like that while] you fast will [certainly] not cause [me] to hear your prayers [where I am], high in heaven.
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.
You [act as though] [IRO] you humble yourselves [RHQ] by bowing your heads like [SIM] [the tops of] reeds bend [when the wind blows], and you wear [RHQ] rough clothes and cover your heads with ashes [like people do when they are grieving]. That is what you do when you are fasting, but do you really think [RHQ] that will please me?
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:
No, that is not the kind of fasting that I desire. What I really want [RHQ] is for you to free those who have been unjustly put in prison [DOU], and to encourage those who are (treated cruelly/oppressed); I want you to free those who have been oppressed in any way.
7 раздробляй алчущым хлеб твой и нищыя безкровныя введи в дом твой: аще видиши нага, одей, и от свойственных племене твоего не презри.
I want you to [RHQ] share your food with those who are hungry and to allow those who have no houses to stay in your houses. Give clothes to those who do not have clothes, and do not hide from your relatives who need help from you.
8 Тогда разверзется рано свет твой, и изцеления твоя скоро возсияют, и предидет пред тобою правда твоя, и слава Божия оымет тя.
If you do those things, [what you do for others will be like] [SIM] a light that shines when it dawns. The troubles [that have been caused by your sins] will end quickly. Others will know about your righteous behavior, and with my glorious presence I will protect you from behind [like I protected the Israeli people when they left Egypt].
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 you will call out to me, and I will [quickly] answer [and say that I will help you].’ Stop (oppressing people/treating people cruelly); stop falsely accusing people; and stop saying evil [things about people].
10 и даси алчущему хлеб от души твоея и душу смиренную насытиши, тогда возсияет во тме свет твой, и тма твоя будет яко полудне,
Give food to those who are hungry, and give to people who are afflicted/suffering the things that they need. [Your doing that will be like] [MET] a light that shines in the darkness; instead of doing evil to people [MET], [the good things that you do for them will be like] [SIM] sunshine at noontime.
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.
[I], Yahweh, will guide you continually, and I will give you good things to satisfy you. I will enable you to remain strong and healthy. You will be like [SIM] a garden that is well watered, like [SIM] a spring that never dries up.
12 И созиждутся пустыни твоя вечныя, и будут основания твоя вечная родом родов: и прозовешися здатель оград, и стези твоя посреде упокоиши.
[Your people] will rebuild the cities that were destroyed long ago; they will build [houses] on top of the old foundations. People will say that you are the ones who are repairing the holes [in the city walls], and who are repairing the streets where people live.
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,
Do not travel [MTY] long distances on Sabbath/rest days, and on Sabbath days do not do only the things that you delight to do. Enjoy the Sabbath days, and consider them to be delightful. The Sabbath days are my holy days. Honor me, Yahweh, in everything that you do [on the Sabbath days]. Do not talk about and do things [only] to please yourselves. If you do all the things that I have just now told you to do,
14 и будеши уповая на Господа, и возведет тя на благоты земныя, и ухлебит тя наследием Иакова отца твоего: уста бо Господня глаголаша сия.
I will enable you to be joyful. I will greatly honor you; [I will honor you everywhere!] I will give to you the [blessings] that I gave to your ancestor Jacob. [Those things will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
