Книга пророка Исаии 59
1 Еда не может рука Господня спасти? Или отягчил есть слух Свой, еже не услышати?
Look, Yahweh's hand is not so short that it cannot save; nor his ear so dull, that it cannot hear.
2 Но греси ваши разлучают между вами и между Богом, и грех ради ваших отврати лице Свое от вас еже не помиловати.
Your sinful acts, however, have separated you from your God, and your sins have made him hide his face from you and from hearing you.
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 stained with blood and your fingers with sin. Your lips speak lies and your tongue speaks maliciously.
4 Никтоже глаголет правды, ниже есть суд истинен: уповают на суетная и глаголют тщетная, яко зачинают труд и раждают беззаконие.
No one calls in righteousness, and none pleads his case in truth. They trust in empty words, and tell lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to sin.
5 Яица аспидска разбиша и постав паучинный ткут, и хотяй от яиц их ясти, разбив запорток (его), обрете и в нем василиска.
They hatch eggs of a poisonous snake and weave a spider's web. Whoever eats of their eggs dies, and if an egg is crushed, it hatches into a poisonous snake.
6 Постав их не будет на ризу, и не одеждутся от дел своих: дела бо их дела беззакония.
Their webs cannot be used for garments, nor can they cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of sin, and deeds of violence are 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 run to pour out innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of sin; violence and destruction are their roads.
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 paths. They have made crooked paths; whoever travels these paths 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 justice is far from us, nor does righteousness reach us. We wait for light, but see darkness; we look for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
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, like those who cannot see. We stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among the strong we are like dead men.
11 яко медведь, и яко голубь вкупе пойдут. Ждахом суда, и несть, спасение далече отступи от нас.
We growl like bears and moan like doves; we wait for justice, but there is none; for rescue, but it is far 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 many transgressions are before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and we know our sins.
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:
We have rebelled, denying Yahweh and turning away from following our God. We have spoken extortion and turning aside, conceived complaining from the heart and words of lying.
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 driven back, and righteousness stands far off; for truth stumbles in the public square, and right cannot come.
15 и истина взяся, и преставиша ум свой еже смыслити. И виде Господь и негодова, яко не бяше суда:
Trustworthiness has gone away, and he who turns away from evil makes himself a victim. Yahweh saw it and was displeased 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 one to intervene. Therefore his own arm brought salvation for him, and his righteousness sustained 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 upon his head. He clothed himself with garments of vengeance and wore zeal as a mantle.
18 яко воздаваяй воздаяние укоризну супостатом.
He repaid them for what they had done, angry judgment to his adversaries, vengeance to his enemies, to the islands punishment as their reward.
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 they will fear the name of Yahweh from the west, and his glory from the sun's rising; for he will come as a rushing stream, driven by the breath of Yahweh.
20 И приидет Сиона ради Избавляяй, и отвратит нечестие от Иакова.
“A redeemer will come to Zion and to those who turn from their rebellious deeds in Jacob—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 Yahweh—my spirit who is upon you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, will not leave your mouth, or go out of the mouth of your children, or go out of the mouth of your children's children—says Yahweh—from this time and forever.”
