Книга пророка Исаии 57

1 Видите, како праведный погибе, и никтоже не приемлет сердцем, и мужие праведнии вземлются, и никтоже разумеет: от лица бо неправды взяся праведный.

The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from before the evil.

2 Будет с миром погребение его, взяся от среды.

He entereth into peace: they rest in their beds, [each one] that hath walked in his uprightness.

3 Вы же приидите семо, сынове беззаконнии, семя прелюбодеев и блудницы:

But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.

4 в чем услаждастеся и на кого отверзосте уста ваша? И на кого изсунусте язык ваш? Не вы ли есте чада пагубы, семя беззаконно,

Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom do ye make a wide mouth, [and] draw out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,

5 молящиися кумиром под древием частым, закалающе чада своя в дебрех посреде камения?

inflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?

6 То твоя часть, сей твой жребий, и тем пролиял еси возлияния, и тем принесл еси жертвы: о сих убо не разгневаюся ли?

Among the smooth [stones] of the torrent is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured out a drink-offering, thou hast offered an oblation. Shall I be comforted myself as to these things?

7 На горе высоце и превознесенне, тамо твое ложе, и тамо вознесл еси требы твоя:

Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither didst thou go up to offer sacrifice.

8 и за подвоями дверий твоих положил еси память твою: мыслил еси, яко аще от Мене отступиши, более нечто возимееши: возлюбил еси спящыя с тобою,

Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for apart from me, thou hast uncovered thyself, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and hast made agreement with them; thou lovedst their bed, thou sawest their nakedness.

9 и умножил еси блужение твое с ними, и многи сотворил, иже далече от тебе, и послал еси послы за пределы твоя, и смирился еси даже до ада. (Sheol h7585)

And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst multiply thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers afar off, and didst debase thyself unto Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

10 Многими путьми твоими трудился еси, и не рекл еси: престану крепящься, яко сотворил еси сия, сего ради не помолился ми еси ты.

Thou wast wearied by the multitude of thy ways; [but] thou saidst not, It is of no avail. Thou didst find a quickening of thy strength; therefore thou wast not sick [of it].

11 Кого благопочет убоялся еси, и солгал Ми, и не помянул еси Мене, ниже приял Мя еси во ум, ниже в сердце твое? И Аз тя видя, презираю, и не убоялся еси Мене.

And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor taken it to heart? Have not I even of long time held my peace, and thou fearest me not?

12 И аз возвещу правду твою и злобы твоя, яже не успеют тебе:

I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; and they shall not profit thee.

13 егда возопиеши, да избавят тя во печалех твоих: сия бо вся ветр возмет, и отнесет буря: а держащиися Мене стяжут землю и наследят гору святую Мою.

When thou criest, let them that are gathered by thee deliver thee! But a wind shall carry them all away, a breath shall take them; but he that putteth his trust in me shall inherit the land, and possess my holy mountain.

14 И рекут: очистите пред лицем его пути и отимите претыкания от пути людий Моих.

And it shall be said, Cast up, cast up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-blocks out of the way of my people.

15 Сия глаголет Господь Вышний, Иже живет во высоких во век, Святый во святых имя Ему, Вышний, во святых почиваяй, и малодушным даяй долготерпение и даяй живот сокрушеным сердцем:

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, and whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy [place], and with him that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

16 не во век отмщу вам, ни всегда гневатися буду на вы: дух бо от Мене изыдет, и всякое дыхание Аз сотворих.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit would fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.

17 За грех мало что опечалих его и поразих его и отвратих лице Мое от него: и опечалися и пойде дряхл во путех своих.

For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him; I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on backslidingly in the way of his heart.

18 Пути его видех и изцелих его, и утеших его и дах ему утешение истинно,

I have seen his ways, and will heal him; and I will lead him, and will restore comforts unto him and to those of his that mourn.

19 мир на мир далече и близ сущым: и рече Господь: изцелю я.

I create the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him [that is] afar off, and to him [that is] nigh, saith Jehovah; and I will heal him.

20 Неправеднии же возволнуются и почити не возмогут.

But the wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot rest, and whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

21 Несть радоватися нечестивым, рече Господь Бог.

There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
