Книга пророка Исаии 54
1 Возвеселися, неплоды, нераждающая возгласи и возопий, нечревоболевшая, яко многа чада пустыя паче, нежели имущия мужа.
Rejoice, you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that do not travail: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband: for the Lord has said,
2 Рече бо Господь: разшири место, кущи твоея и покровов твоих, водрузи, не пощади, продолжи ужя твоя и колие твое укрепи,
Enlarge the place of your tent, and of your curtains: fix [the pins], spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your pins;
3 еще на десно и на лево простри: и семя твое языки наследит, и грады опустевшыя населиши.
spread forth [your tent] yet to the right and the left: for your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and you shall make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 Не бойся, яко посрамлена еси, ниже устыдися, яко укорена еси: понеже срамоту вечную забудеши и укоризны вдовства твоего не помянеши ктому.
Fear not, because you has been put to shame, neither be confounded, because you was reproached: for you shall forget your former shame, and shall no more at all remember the reproach of your widowhood.
5 Яко Господь Творяй тя, Господь Саваоф имя Ему: и Избавивый тя Святый Бог Израилев, всей земли прозовется.
For [it is] the Lord that made you; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he that delivered you, he is the God of Israel, [and] shall be called [so] by the whole earth.
6 Не яко жену оставлену и малодушну призва тя Господь, ниже яко жену из юности возненавидену, рече Бог твой.
The Lord has not called you as a deserted and faint-hearted woman, nor as a woman hated from [her] youth, says your God.
7 На время мало оставих тя, а с милостию великою помилую тя:
For a little while I left you: but with great mercy will I have compassion upon you.
8 во ярости мале отвратих лице Мое от тебе, но милостию вечною помилую тя, рече Избавивый тя Господь.
In a little wrath I turned away my face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you.
9 От воды, яже при Нои, сие Ми есть, якоже кляхся Ему во время оно на землю, не разгневатися о тебе ктому, ниже во прещении твоем
From the time of the water of Noe this is my [purpose]: as I sware to him at that time, [saying] of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened,
10 горы преставити, и холми твои не предвигнутся: тако ниже, яже от Мене к тебе, милость оскудеет, ниже завет мира твоего преставится: рече бо милостив к тебе Господь.
shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed: for the Lord [who is] gracious to you has spoken [it].
11 Смиренная и колеблемая не имела еси утешения: се, Аз уготовляю тебе анфракс камень твой и на основание твое сапфир:
Afflicted and outcast you has not been comforted: behold, I [will] prepare carbuncle [for] your stones, and sapphire for your foundations;
12 и положу забрала твоя иаспис, и врата твоя камение кристалла, и ограждение твое камение избранное,
and I will make your buttresses jasper, and your gates crystal, and your border precious stones.
13 и вся сыны твоя научены Богом, и во мнозе мире чада твоя.
And [I will cause] all your sons [to be] taught of God, and your children [to be] in great peace.
14 И правдою возградишися: удалися от неправеднаго, и не убоишися, и трепет не приближится тебе.
And you shall be built in righteousness: abstain from injustice, and you shall not fear; and trembling shall not come near you.
15 Се, пришелцы приидут к тебе Мною и вселятся у тебе и к тебе прибегнут.
Behold, strangers shall come to you by me, and shall sojourn with you, and shall run to you for refuge.
16 Се, Аз создах тя, не якоже кузнец раздуваяй углие и износя сосуд на дело: Аз же создах тя не на пагубу, еже истлити.
Behold, I have created you, not as the coppersmith blowing coals, and bringing out a vessel [fit] for work; but I have created you, not for ruin, that [I] should destroy [you].
17 Всяк сосуд соделан на тя не благопоспешу, и всяк глас, иже на тя востанет на прю, одолееши им всем: повиннии же твои будут в нем есть наследие служащым Господеви, и вы будете Мне праведни, глаголет Господь.
I will not suffer any weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgment, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you shall be righteous before me, says the Lord.
