Isaiah 44
1 Yet listen now, Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen.
Ныне же слыши, рабе Мой Иакове, и Израилю, егоже избрах.
2 This is what YHWH who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you says: "Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
Сице глаголет Господь Бог сотворивый тя и создавый тя из утробы: еще поможет ти: не бойся, рабе Мой Иакове, и возлюбленный Израилю, егоже избрах.
3 For I will pour water upon the thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants:
Яко Аз дам воду в жажду ходящым в безводней, наложу дух Мой на семя твое и благословения Моя на чада твоя,
4 and they will spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
и прозябнут аки трава посреде воды и яко верба при воде текущей.
5 One will say, 'I am YHWH's;' and another will be called by the name of Jacob; and another will write with his hand 'to YHWH,' and honor the name of Israel."
Сей речет: Божий есмь: и сей возопиет о имени Иаковли, и другий напишет рукою своею: Божий есмь: и о имени Израилеве возопиет.
6 This is what YHWH, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, YHWH of hosts, says: "I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.
Сице глаголет Бог Царь Израилев, и Избавлей его Бог Саваоф: Аз первый и Аз по сих, кроме Мене несть Бога:
7 Who is like me? Who will call, and will declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? Let them declare the things that are coming, and that will happen.
кто якоже Аз? Да станет и да призовет, и да возвестит и да уготовит Ми, отнележе сотворих человека во век, и грядущая прежде неже приити им, да возвестят вам.
8 Do not fear, neither be afraid. Haven't I declared it to you long ago, and shown it? You are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Indeed, there is not. I do not know any other Rock."
Не укрывайтеся, ниже заблуждайте: не исперва ли внушисте, и возвестих вам? Свидетелие вы есте, аще есть Бог разве Мене.
9 Everyone who makes an engraved image is vain. The things that they delight in will not profit. Their own witnesses do not see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.
И не послушаша тогда созидающии, и ваяющии вси тщетни, творящии желания своя, яже не упользуют их:
10 Who has fashioned a god, or molds an image that is profitable for nothing?
но посрамятся вси созидающии бога и ваяющии вси неполезная.
11 Look, all his fellows will be disappointed; and the workmen are mere men. Let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up. They will fear. They will be put to shame together.
И вси, отнюдуже быша, изсхоша: и глусии от человек да соберутся вси и да станут вкупе, и да посрамятся и устыдятся вкупе.
12 The blacksmith takes an axe, works in the coals, fashions it with hammers, and works it with his strong arm. He is hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water, and is faint.
Яко наостри древоделатель сечиво, теслою содела оное, и свердлом состави е, и длатом издолбе е, и содела е крепостию мышцы своея: и взалчет, и изнеможет, и не напиется воды.
13 The carpenter stretches out a line. He marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes. He marks it out with compasses, and shapes it like the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to reside in a house.
И избрав древоделя древо, постави в меру, и клеем сострои е, и сотвори е аки образ мужеск и аки красоту человечу, поставити е в дому.
14 He cuts down cedars for himself, and takes the cypress and the oak, and strengthens for himself one among the trees of the forest. He plants a fir tree, and the rain nourishes it.
Посече древо в дубраве, еже насади Господь, сосну, и дождь возрасти,
15 Then it will be for a man to burn; and he takes some of it, and warms himself. Yes, he burns it, and bakes bread. Yes, he makes a god, and worships it; he makes it an engraved image, and falls down to it.
да будет человеком на жжение: и взяв от него, согреся, и изжегше я, испекоша ими хлебы, из оставшаго же сотвориша боги и покланяются им: сотвори е изваянное, и прекланяется им.
16 He burns part of it in the fire. With part of it, he eats meat. He roasts a roast, and is satisfied. Yes, he warms himself, and says, "Aha. I am warm. I have seen the fire."
Пол его сожже огнем, и пол его сожже на углие, и испече в них хлебы, и на них испече мясо, и яде, и насытися, и согревся рече: сладко мне, яко согрехся и видех огнь.
17 The rest of it he makes into a god, even his engraved image. He bows down to it and worships, and prays to it, and says, "Deliver me; for you are my god."
Из оставшаго же сотвори бога изваянна, прекланяется ему и покланяется, и молится ему глаголя: избави мя, яко бог мой еси ты.
18 They do not know, neither do they consider: for he has shut their eyes, that they can't see; and their hearts, that they can't understand.
Не уведаша смыслити, яко отемнеша очи их еже видети и разумети сердцем своим.
19 No one thinks, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, "I have burned part of it in the fire. Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals. I have roasted meat and eaten it. Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?"
И не помысли в души своей, ни уведе смышлением, яко пол его сожже огнем, и испече на углиех его хлебы, и испек мяса снеде, и оставшее его в мерзость сотвори, и покланяются ему.
20 He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can't deliver his soul, nor say, "Isn't there a lie in my right hand?"
Увеждь, яко пепел есть сердце их, и прельщаются, и ни един может души своея избавити: видите, не рцыте, яко лжа в деснице моей.
21 Remember these things, Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant. I have formed you. You are my servant. Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
Помяни сия, Иакове и Израилю, яко раб Мой еси ты, сотворих тя раба Моего, и ты, Израилю, не забывай Мене.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
Се бо, отях яко облак беззакония твоя и яко примрак грехи твоя: обратися ко Мне, и избавлю тя.
23 Sing, you heavens, for YHWH has done it. Shout, you lower parts of the earth. Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees, for YHWH has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.
Возвеселитеся, небеса, яко помилова Бог Израиля: вострубите, основания земная, возопийте, горы, веселие, холми и вся древеса, яже на них: яко избави Бог Иакова, и Израиль прославится.
24 Thus says YHWH, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb: "I am YHWH, who makes all things; who alone stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth by myself;
Сице глаголет Господь избавляяй тя и создавый тя от чрева: Аз Господь совершаяй вся, распрострох небо един и утвердих землю.
25 who foils the omens of the empty talkers, and makes fools of diviners; who turns sages back, and makes their knowledge foolish;
Кто ин разсыплет знамения чревоволшебников и волшбы от сердца, отвращаяй мудрыя вспять и советы их обуяяй,
26 who confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; who says of Jerusalem, 'She will be inhabited;' and of the cities of Judah, 'They will be built,' and 'I will raise up its waste places;'
и уставляя глагол раба Своего, и совет вестников Своих истинен творяй? Глаголяй Иерусалиму: населишися: и градом Иудейским: возградитеся, и пустыни его просияют,
27 who says to the deep, 'Be dry,' and 'I will dry up your rivers;'
глаголяй бездне: опустееши, и реки твоя изсушу,
28 Who says of Koresh, 'He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure,' even saying of Jerusalem, 'She will be built;' and of the temple, 'Your foundation will be laid.'"
глаголяй Киру смыслити, и вся воли Моя сотворит: глаголяй Иерусалиму: возградишися, и храм святый мой осную.
