Книга пророка Исаии 9
1 Сие прежде испий, скоро твори, страно Завулоня и земле Неффалимля, и прочии при мори живущии, и об ону страну Иордана, Галилеа языков.
Drink this first. Act quickly, O land of Zabulon, land of Nephthalim, and the rest [inhabiting] the sea-coast, and [the land] beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
2 Людие ходящии во тме видеша свет велий: живущии во стране и сени смертней, свет возсияет на вы.
O people walking in darkness, behold a great light: ye that dwell in the region [and] shadow of death, a light shall shine upon you.
3 Множайшии людие, яже извел еси, в веселии Твоем: и возвеселятся пред тобою, якоже веселящиися в жатву, и якоже веселятся делящии корысти.
The multitude of the people which thou hast brought down in thy joy, they shall even rejoice before thee as they that rejoice in harvest, and as they that divide the spoil.
4 Зане отятся ярем лежай на них, и жезл, иже на выи их: жезл бо истязующих разсыпа Господь, якоже в день, иже на Мадиама.
Because the yoke that was laid upon them has been taken away, and the rod that was on their neck: for he has broken the rod of the exactors, as in the day of Madiam.
5 Яко всякую одежду собранну лестию и ризу с примирением отдадут, и восхотят, да быша огнем сожжены были.
For they shall compensate for every garment that has been acquired by deceit, and [all] raiment with restitution; and they shall be willing, [even] if they were burnt with fire.
6 Яко отроча родися нам, Сын, и дадеся нам, егоже началство бысть на раме Его: и нарицается имя Его: велика совета Ангел, Чуден, Советник, Бог крепкий, Властелин, Князь мира, Отец будущаго века: приведу бо мир на князи, мир и здравие Ему.
For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.
7 И велие началство Его, и мира Его несть предела на престоле Давидове и на царстве его, исправити е и заступити его в суде и правде, отныне и до века: ревность Господа Саваофа сотворит сия.
His government shall be great, and of his peace there is no end: [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] his kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth and forever. The seal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
8 Смерть посла Господь на Иакова, и прииде на Израиля:
The Lord has sent death upon Jacob, and it has come upon Israel.
9 и уразумеют вси людие Ефремовы и живущии в Самарии, в досаждении и высоцем сердцы глаголюще:
And all the people of Ephraim, and they that dwelt in Samaria shall know, who say in their pride and lofty heart,
10 плинфы падоша, но приидите, изсечем камение и посечем черничие и кедры, и созиждем себе столп.
The bricks are fallen down, but come, let us hew stones, and cut down sycamores and cedars, and let us build for ourselves a tower.
11 И разрушит Бог востающыя на гору Сионю, и враги его разсыплет:
And God shall dash down them that rise up against him on mount Sion, and shall scatter his enemies;
12 Сирию от восток солнца и Еллины от запада солнца, поядающыя Израиля всеми усты. Во всех сих не отвратися ярость Его, но еще рука Его высока.
[even] Syria from the rising of the sun, and the Greeks from the setting of the sun, who devour Israel with open mouth. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but still [his] hand is exalted.
13 И людие не обратишася, дондеже язвени быша, и Господа не взыскаша.
But the people turned not until they were smitten, and they sought not the Lord.
14 И отят Господь от Израиля главу и ошиб, велика и мала, во един день:
So the Lord took away from Israel the head and tail, great and small, in one day:
15 старца и чудящихся лицам, сие начало: и пророка учаща беззаконная, сей ошиб.
the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail.
16 И будут блажащии людий сих льстяще, и льстят, яко да поглотят я.
And they that pronounce this people blessed shall mislead them; and they mislead them that they may devour them.
17 Сего ради о юношах их не возвеселится Господь, и сирот их и вдовиц их не помилует: яко вси беззаконнии и лукавии, и всякая уста глаголют неправду. Во всех сих не отвратися ярость Его, но еще рука Его высока.
Therefore the Lord shall not take pleasure in their young men, neither shall he have pity on their orphans or on their widows: for they are all transgressors and wicked, and every mouth speaks unjustly. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
18 И разгорится яко огнь беззаконие, и яко троскот сухий пояден будет огнем, и разгорится в чащах дубравных и пояст, яже окрест холмов вся.
And iniquity shall burn as fire, and shall be devoured by fire as dry grass: and it shall burn in the thickets of the wood, and shall devour all that is round about the hills.
19 За ярость гнева Господня сгоре вся земля, и будут людие яко огнем пожжени: человек брата своего не помилует,
The whole earth is set on fire because of the fierce anger of the Lord, and the people shall be as men burnt by fire: no man shall pity his brother.
20 но уклонится на десно, яко взалчет, и снесть от шуиих, и не насытится человек ядый плоти мышцы своея: снесть бо Манассий Ефремово, и Ефрем Манассиино, яко вкупе повоюют Иуду.
But [one] shall turn aside to the right hand, for he shall be hungry; and shall eat on the left, and a man shall by no means be satisfied with eating the flesh of his own arm.
21 Во всех сих не отвратися ярость (Его), но еще рука Его высока.
For Manasses shall eat [the flesh] of Ephraim, and Ephraim [the flesh] of Manasses; for they shall besiege Juda together. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
