Книга пророка Исаии 1
1 Видение, еже виде Исаиа сын Амосов, еже виде на Иудею и на Иерусалим, в царство Озии и Иоафама, и Ахаза и Езекии, иже царствоваша во Иудеи.
This is the vision that Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem in the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Слыши, небо, и внуши, земле, яко Господь возглагола: сыны родих и возвысих, тии же отвергошася Мене.
Heavens, listen! Earth, pay attention! For the Lord has spoken! I brought up children, I cared for them, but they have rebelled against me.
3 Позна вол стяжавшаго и, и осел ясли господина своего: Израиль же Мене не позна, и людие Мои не разумеша.
An ox knows its owner, and a donkey knows its feeding trough; but my people don't know me, they don't understand me.
4 Увы, язык грешный, людие исполнени грехов, семя лукавое, сынове беззаконнии, остависте Господа и разгневасте Святаго Израилева, отвратистеся вспять.
What a sinful nation—a people carrying such a load of guilt, an evil generation, corrupt children! They have abandoned the Lord. They have despised Israel's Holy One. They have become strangers. They have gone backwards.
5 Что еще уязвляетеся, прилагающе беззаконие? Всякая глава в болезнь, и всякое сердце в печаль.
Are you wanting to be punished? Are you going to continue to rebel? The whole of your head is damaged, and your heart is totally giving out.
6 От ног даже до главы несть в нем целости: ни струп, ни язва, ни рана палящаяся: несть пластыря приложити, ниже елеа, ниже обязания.
You're injured from head to toe, bruised and sore, with open wounds that haven't been cleaned or bandaged or treated with olive oil.
7 Земля ваша пуста, гради ваши огнем пожжени, страну вашу пред вами чуждии поядают, и опусте низвращена от людий чуждих.
Your country has been devastated, your towns burned down, your fields stripped bare by foreigners right in front of you, as they turn it all into a wasteland.
8 Оставится дщерь Сионя яко куща в винограде и яко овощное хранилище в вертограде, яко град воюемый.
The daughter of Zion is left like a shack in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a city under attack.
9 И аще не бы Господь Саваоф оставил нам семене, яко Содома убо были быхом, и яко Гоморру уподобилися быхом.
If the Lord Almighty hadn't let a few of us survive, we would have become like Sodom and Gomorrah.
10 Услышите слово Господне, князи Содомстии: внемлите закону Божию, людие Гоморрстии.
Listen to what the Lord has to say, you rulers of Sodom! Pay attention to the instructions of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
11 Что Ми множество жертв ваших, глаголет Господь? Исполнен есмь всесожжений овних и тука агнцев, и и крове юнцев и козлов не хощу.
What use are all your many sacrifices to me? asks the Lord. I am sick and tired of your burnt offerings of rams and the fat of sacrificial animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats!
12 Ниже приходите явитися Ми: кто бо изыска сия из рук ваших? Ходити по двору Моему не приложите.
When you come to appear before me in worship, who asked you to proudly tramp around my courts?
13 И аще принесете Ми семидал, всуе: кадило мерзость Ми есть.
Don't bring me any more meaningless offerings; your incense is offensive to me. Your new moon festivals and Sabbath observations and your calling of special religious meetings—I can't stand them because they're evil, as are your solemn assemblies.
14 Новомесячий ваших и суббот и дне великаго не потерплю: поста и праздности, и новомесячий ваших и праздников ваших ненавидит душа Моя: бысте Ми в сытость, ктому не стерплю грехов ваших.
I detest your new moon and yearly festivals with my whole being! They've become just a burden to me—I can't bear them anymore!
15 Егда прострете руки (вашя) ко Мне, отвращу очи Мои от вас: и аще умножите моление, не услышу вас: руки бо вашя исполнены крове.
When you hold up your hands to me in prayer, I'll look away. Even though you pray many prayers, I won't pay attention to them, because your hands are full of blood.
16 Измыйтеся, (и) чисти будите, отимите лукавства от душ ваших пред очима Моима, престаните от лукавств ваших.
Wash yourselves and clean yourselves up. Get rid of your sins—I don't want to see them! Stop doing evil!
17 Научитеся добро творити, взыщите суда, избавите обидимаго, судите сиру и оправдите вдовицу,
Learn to do good; strive for justice, condemn those who oppress others; support the rights of orphans, take up cases to defend widows.
18 и приидите, и истяжимся, глаголет Господь. И аще будут греси ваши яко багряное, яко снег убелю: аще же будут яко червленое, яко волну убелю.
Come on, let's argue this out, says the Lord. Even though your sins are like scarlet, they will become white like snow. Even though they are red like crimson, they will become like wool.
19 И аще хощете и послушаете Мене, благая земли снесте:
If you really want this, and if you do as you're told, then you yourselves will eat the best things that the land produces.
20 аще же не хощете, ниже послушаете Мене, мечь вы пояст: уста бо Господня глаголаша сия.
But if you are defiant, and if you are rebellious, you'll be killed by the sword. This is what the Lord has declared!
21 Како бысть блудница град верный Сион полн суда? В немже правда почиваше, ныне же (в нем) убийцы.
The city that used to be faithful has turned into a prostitute! Once she operated on principles of justice and followed what was right, but now only murderers live there.
22 Сребро ваше неискушено, корчемницы твои мешают вино с водою.
Your silver has become worthless waste; you wine has been watered down.
23 Князи твои не покаряются, общницы татем, любяще дары, гоняще воздаяние, сирым не судящии и суду вдовиц не внимающии.
Your leaders are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and want to get kickbacks. They don't defend the rights of orphans, and refuse to take cases to help widows.
24 Сего ради тако глаголет Владыка Господь Саваоф: горе крепким во Израили: не престанет бо ярость Моя на противныя, и суд врагом Моим сотворю:
So this is what the Lord says, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel: Ha! I will take satisfaction in punishing my enemies, by paying back those who hate me!
25 и наведу руку Мою на тя, и разжегу в чистоту, непокаряющихся же погублю, и отиму всех беззаконных от тебе, и всех гордых смирю.
I will turn against you. I will refine you in a furnace, removing all impurities.
26 И приставлю судии твоя якоже прежде, и советники твоя яко от начала: и по сих наречешися град правды, мати градовом, верный Сион.
I will give you good leaders as you used to have before, wise counselors as you had in the beginning. After that you will once again be called the City of Integrity, the Faithful City.
27 С судом бо спасется пленение его и с милостынею.
Zion will be rescued by justice, those who repent by doing right.
28 И сокрушатся беззаконнии и грешницы вкупе, и оставившии Господа скончаются:
But rebels and sinners will be destroyed together, and those who abandon the Lord will die.
29 занеже постыдятся о идолех своих, ихже сами восхотеша, и посрамятся о садех своих, ихже возжелеша.
You will be ashamed about how you enjoyed your pagan worship among the oak trees; you will be embarrassed because you chose the pleasure gardens of idols.
30 Будут бо яко теревинф отметнувый листвия (своя), и яко вертоград не имый воды.
As a result you will become like an oak whose leaves have withered, a dried-out garden that has no water.
31 И будет крепость их яко стебль изгребия, и делания их яко искры огненныя, и сожгутся беззаконницы и грешницы вкупе, и не будет угашаяй.
Your strong people will become like tinder, and their work will become like a spark. They will burn together, and nobody will be able to put out the flames.
