Книга пророка Исаии 42
1 Иаков Отрок Мой, восприиму и: Израиль избранный Мой, прият Его душа Моя, дах дух Мой Нань, суд языком возвестит:
Jacob is my servant, I will help him: Israel is my chosen, my soul has accepted him; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 не возопиет ниже ослабит, ниже услышится вне глас Его:
He shall not cry, nor lift up [his voice], nor shall his voice be heard without.
3 трости сокрушены не сотрет и льна курящася не угасит, но во истину изнесет суд:
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench; but he shall bring forth judgment to truth.
4 возсияет и не потухнет, дондеже положит на земли суд, и на имя Его языцы уповати имут.
He shall shine out, and shall not be discouraged, until he have set judgment on the earth: and in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
5 Тако глаголет Господь Бог, сотворивый небо и водрузивый е, утверждей землю и яже на ней, и даяй дыхание людем, иже на ней, и дух ходящым на ней:
Thus saith the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it:
6 Аз Господь Бог призвах Тя в правде, и удержу за руку Твою и укреплю Тя: и дах Тя в завет рода Израилева, во свет языков,
I the Lord God have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will strengthen thee: and I have given thee for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles:
7 отверсти очи слепых, извести от уз связанныя и из дому темницы и седящыя во тме.
to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison-house.
8 Аз Господь Бог, сие Мое есть имя, славы Моея иному не дам, ниже добродетелей Моих истуканным.
I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images.
9 Иже из начала, се, приидоша, и новая, яже Аз возвещу, и прежде неже возвестити, явишася вам.
Behold, the ancient things have come to pass, and [so will] the new things which I tell you: yea, before I tell [them] they are made known to you.
10 Воспойте Господеви песнь нову: началство Его, прославите имя Его от конец земли, сходящии в море и плавающии по нему, острови и живущии на них.
Sing a new hymn to the Lord: ye [who are] his dominion, glorify his name from the end of the earth: ye that go down to the sea, and sail upon it; the islands, and they that dwell in them.
11 Возвеселися, пустыне, и веси ея, придвория, и живущии в Кидаре: возвеселятся живущии на камени, от края гор возопиют,
Rejoice, thou wilderness, and the villages thereof, the hamlets, and the dwellers in Kedar: the inhabitants of the rock shall rejoice, they shall shout from the top of the mountains.
12 дадят Богу славу, добродетели Его во островех возвестят.
They shall give glory to God, [and] shall proclaim his praises in the islands.
13 Господь Бог Сил изыдет и сокрушит рать, воздвигнет рвение и возопиет на враги Своя со крепостию.
The Lord God of hosts shall go forth, and crush the war: he shall stir up jealousy, and shall shout mightily against his enemies.
14 Молчах, еда и всегда умолчу и потерплю? Терпех яко раждающая, истреблю и изсушу вкупе,
I have been silent: shall I also always be silent and forbear: I have endured like a travailing [woman]: I will [now] amaze and wither at once.
15 опустошу горы и холмы, и всяку траву их изсушу, и положу реки во островы, и луги изсушу:
I will make desolate mountains and hills, and will dry up all their grass; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools.
16 и наведу слепыя на путь, егоже не видеша, и по стезям, ихже не знаша, ходити сотворю им: сотворю им тму во свет и стропотная в правая: сия глаголголы сотворю, и не оставлю их.
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known: I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.
17 Тии же возвратишася вспять: посрамитеся стыдением, уповающии на изваянная, глаголющии слиянным: вы есте бози наши.
But they are turned back: be ye utterly ashamed that trust in graven [images], who say to the molten [images], Ye are our gods.
18 Глусии, услышите, и слепии, прозрите видети.
Hear, ye deaf, and look up, ye blind, to see.
19 И кто слеп, разве раби Мои? И глуси, разве владеющии ими? И ослепоша раби Божии.
And who is blind, but my servants? and deaf, but they that rule over them? yea, the servants of God have been made blind.
20 Видесте многажды, и не сохранисте: отверсты ушы (имуще), и не слышасте.
Ye have often seen, and have not taken heed; [your] ears have been opened, and ye have not heard.
21 Господь Бог восхоте, да оправдится и возвеличит хвалу.
The Lord God has taken counsel that he might be justified, and might magnify [his] praise.
22 И видех, и быша людие расхищени и разграблени: пругло бо в ложах везде, и в домех вкупе, идеже скрыша я, быша в плен: и не бысть изимаяй разграбления и не бе глаголющаго: отдаждь.
And I beheld, and the people were spoiled and plundered: for [there is] a snare in the secret chambers everywhere, and in the houses also, where they have hidden them: they became a spoil, and there was no one that delivered the prey, and there was none who said, Restore.
23 Кто в вас, иже внушит сия? И услышит во грядущая.
Who [is there] among you that will give ear to these things? hearken ye to the things which are coming to pass.
24 Кто даде на разграбление Иакова, и Израиля пленяющым его? Не Бог ли, Емуже согрешиша и не восхотеша в путех Его ходити, ни слушати закона Его?
For what did he give to Jacob up to spoil, and Israel to them that plundered him? Did not God [do it] against whom they sinned? [and] they would not walk in his ways, nor hearken to his law.
25 И наведе на ня гнев ярости Своея, и укрепися на ня рать, и палящии их окрест, и не уведеша кийждо их, ниже положиша на уме.
So he brought upon them the fury of his wrath; and the war, and those that burnt round about them, prevailed against them; yet no one of them knew [it], neither did they lay [it] to heart.
