Книга пророка Исаии 59
1 Еда не может рука Господня спасти? Или отягчил есть слух Свой, еже не услышати?
Lo, the hand of Jehovah Hath not been shortened from saving, Nor heavy his ear from hearing.
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 been separating Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you — from hearing.
3 Руце бо ваши осквернене кровию, и персты ваши во гресех, устне же ваши возглаголаша беззаконие, и язык ваш неправде поучается.
For your hands have been polluted with blood, And your fingers with iniquity, Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue perverseness doth mutter.
4 Никтоже глаголет правды, ниже есть суд истинен: уповают на суетная и глаголют тщетная, яко зачинают труд и раждают беззаконие.
There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity.
5 Яица аспидска разбиша и постав паучинный ткут, и хотяй от яиц их ясти, разбив запорток (его), обрете и в нем василиска.
Eggs of a viper they have hatched, And webs of a spider they weave, Whoso is eating their eggs doth die, And the crushed hatcheth a viper.
6 Постав их не будет на ризу, и не одеждутся от дел своих: дела бо их дела беззакония.
Their webs become not a garment, Nor do they cover themselves with their works, Their works [are] works of iniquity, And a deed 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 to evil do run, And they haste to shed innocent blood, Their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity, Spoiling and destruction [are] in their highways.
8 и пути мирнаго не познаша, и несть суда во путех их: стези во их развращены, по нихже ходят и не ведят мира.
A way of peace they have not known, And there is no judgment in their paths, Their paths they have made perverse for themselves, No treader in it hath known 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 hath judgment been far from us, And righteousness reacheth us not, We wait for light, and lo, darkness, For brightness — in thick darkness we go,
10 Осяжут яко слепии стену, яко суще без очес осязати будут, и падутся в полудни яко в полунощи, яко умирающе возстенут
We feel like the blind [for] the wall, Yea, as without eyes we feel, We have stumbled at noon as at twilight, In desolate places as the dead.
11 яко медведь, и яко голубь вкупе пойдут. Ждахом суда, и несть, спасение далече отступи от нас.
We make a noise as bears — all of us, And as doves we coo sorely; We wait for judgment, and there is none, For salvation — it hath been 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 transgressions have been multiplied before Thee, And our sins have testified against us, For our transgressions [are] with us, And our iniquities — we have known 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 lying against Jehovah, And removing from after our God, Speaking oppression and apostasy, 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:
And removed backward is judgment, And righteousness afar off standeth, For truth hath been feeble in the street, And straightforwardness is not able to enter,
15 и истина взяся, и преставиша ум свой еже смыслити. И виде Господь и негодова, яко не бяше суда:
And the truth is lacking, And whoso is turning aside from evil, Is making himself a spoil. And Jehovah seeth, and it is evil in His eyes, That there is no judgment.
16 и виде, и не бяше мужа, и помысли, и не бяше избавляющаго: и мсти им мышцею Своею, и помилованием утверди.
And He seeth that there is no man, And is astonished that there is no intercessor, And His own arm giveth salvation to Him, And His righteousness — it sustained Him.
17 И одеяся правдою яко щитом, и возложи шлем спасения на главу, и облечеся в ризу отмщения, и одеждею Своею:
And He putteth on righteousness as a breastplate, And an helmet of salvation on His head, And He putteth on garments of vengeance [for] clothing, And is covered, as [with] an upper-robe, [with] zeal.
18 яко воздаваяй воздаяние укоризну супостатом.
According to deeds — so He repayeth. Fury to His adversaries, [their] deed to His enemies, To the isles [their] deed He repayeth.
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.
And they fear from the west the name of Jehovah, And from the rising of the sun — His honour, When come in as a flood doth an adversary, The Spirit of Jehovah hath raised an ensign against him.
20 И приидет Сиона ради Избавляяй, и отвратит нечестие от Иакова.
And come to Zion hath a redeemer, Even to captives of transgression in Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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.
And I — this [is] My covenant with them, said Jehovah, My Spirit that [is] on thee, And My words that I have put in thy mouth, Depart not from thy mouth, And from the mouth of thy seed, And from the mouth of thy seed's seed, said Jehovah, From henceforth unto the age!
