Книга пророка Исаии 59
1 Еда не может рука Господня спасти? Или отягчил есть слух Свой, еже не услышати?
Look, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it can't save; neither his ear heavy, that it can't hear:
2 Но греси ваши разлучают между вами и между Богом, и грех ради ваших отврати лице Свое от вас еже не помиловати.
but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
3 Руце бо ваши осквернене кровию, и персты ваши во гресех, устне же ваши возглаголаша беззаконие, и язык ваш неправде поучается.
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.
4 Никтоже глаголет правды, ниже есть суд истинен: уповают на суетная и глаголют тщетная, яко зачинают труд и раждают беззаконие.
None sues in righteousness, and none pleads in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
5 Яица аспидска разбиша и постав паучинный ткут, и хотяй от яиц их ясти, разбив запорток (его), обрете и в нем василиска.
They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
6 Постав их не будет на ризу, и не одеждутся от дел своих: дела бо их дела беззакония.
Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
7 Нозе же их на зло текут, скори пролияти кровь, и мысли их мысли о убийствах: сокрушение и бедность во путех их,
Their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; destruction and calamity are in their paths.
8 и пути мирнаго не познаша, и несть суда во путех их: стези во их развращены, по нихже ходят и не ведят мира.
The way of peace they do not know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes in it does not know peace.
9 Того ради отступи от них суд, и не постигнет их правда: ждущым им света, бысть им тма, ждуще зари во мраце ходиша.
Therefore is justice far from us, neither does righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, look, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.
10 Осяжут яко слепии стену, яко суще без очес осязати будут, и падутся в полудни яко в полунощи, яко умирающе возстенут
We grope for the wall like the blind; yes, we grope as those who have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among those who are lusty we are as dead men.
11 яко медведь, и яко голубь вкупе пойдут. Ждахом суда, и несть, спасение далече отступи от нас.
We roar all like bears, and moan bitterly like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
12 Много бо беззаконие наше пред Тобою, и греси наши противу сташа нам: беззакония бо наша в нас, и неправды нашя уразумехом:
For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:
13 нечествовахом и солгахом и отступихом от последования Бога нашего: глаголахом неправду и не покорихомся, во утробе зачахом и поучихомся от сердца нашего словесем неправедным:
transgressing and denying the LORD, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 и оставихом созади суд, и правда далече отступи от нас: яко изнеможе во путех их истина, и правым (путем) не возмогоша прейти:
Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness can't enter.
15 и истина взяся, и преставиша ум свой еже смыслити. И виде Господь и негодова, яко не бяше суда:
Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. The LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
16 и виде, и не бяше мужа, и помысли, и не бяше избавляющаго: и мсти им мышцею Своею, и помилованием утверди.
He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness, it upheld him.
17 И одеяся правдою яко щитом, и возложи шлем спасения на главу, и облечеся в ризу отмщения, и одеждею Своею:
He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
18 яко воздаваяй воздаяние укоризну супостатом.
According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.
19 И убоятся, иже от запад, имене Господня, и иже от восток солнца, имене Его славнаго: приидет бо яко река насильная гнев от Господа, приидет со яростию.
So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of the LORD drives.
20 И приидет Сиона ради Избавляяй, и отвратит нечестие от Иакова.
"A Redeemer will come from Zion, and he will turn away transgression from Jacob," says the LORD.
21 И сей им иже от Мене завет, рече Господь: Дух Мой, иже есть в тебе, и глаголголы, яже Аз дах во уста твоя, не оскудеют от уст твоих и от уст семене твоего: рече бо Господь отныне и во век.
"As for me, this is my covenant with them," says the LORD. "My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your children, nor out of the mouth of your children's children," says the LORD, "from now on and forever."
