< Isaiah 51 >

1 “Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek the LORD. Look to the rock you were cut from, and to the quarry you were dug from.
Послушайте Мене, гонящии правду и взыскающии Господа, воззрите на твердый камень, егоже изсекосте, и в юдоль потока, юже ископасте.
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, I blessed him, and made him many.
Воззрите на Авраама отца вашего и на Сарру породившую вы: яко един бе, и призвах его, и благослових его, и возлюбих его, и умножих его.
3 For the LORD has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
И тебе ныне утешу, Сионе, и утеших вся пустыни его, и поставлю пустыню его яко рай, и яже ко западом его аки рай Господень: радость и веселие обрящут в нем, исповедание и глас хваления.
4 “Listen to me, my people; and hear me, my nation, for a law will go out from me, and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples.
Послушайте Мене, людие Мои, послушайте, и царие, ко Мне внушите: яко закон от Мене изыдет, и суд Мой во свет языком.
5 My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples. The islands will wait for me, and they will trust my arm.
Приближается скоро правда Моя, и изыдет яко свет спасение Мое, и на мышцу Мою языцы надеятися будут: Мене острови ожидати и на мышцу Мою уповати будут.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment. Its inhabitants will die in the same way, but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.
Воздвигните на небо очи ваши и воззрите на землю долу, понеже небо яко дым утвердися, и земля яко риза обетшает, живущии же на земли якоже сия изомрут, спасение же Мое во век будет, и правда Моя не оскудеет.
7 “Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Do not fear the reproach of men, and do not be dismayed at their insults.
Послушайте Мене, ведящии суд, людие Мои, имже закон Мой в сердцы вашем, не бойтеся укорения человеча и похулению их не покаряйтеся.
8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
Якоже бо риза снедена будет временем, и яко сукно изястся мольми, правда же Моя во веки будет и спасение Мое в роды родов.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of the LORD! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is not it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
Востани, востани, Иерусалиме, и облецыся во крепость мышцы твоея, востани яко в начале дне, яко род века: не ты ли еси победил гордаго и расторгнул змиа?
10 Is not it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
Не ты ли еси опустошаяй море, воду бездны многу? Положивый глубины морския путь прохода изятым и избавленым?
11 Those ransomed by the LORD will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Господем бо возвратятся и приидут в Сион с радостию и со веселием вечным: на главе бо их веселие и хвала, и радость приимет я: отбеже болезнь и печаль и воздыхание.
12 “I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who will be made as grass?
Аз есмь, Аз есмь Утешаяй тя: разумей, кто сый убоялся еси человека смертна и сына человеча, иже яко трава изсхоша,
13 Have you forgotten the LORD your Maker, who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth? Do you live in fear continually all day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepares to destroy? Where is the fury of the oppressor?
и забыл еси Бога Создавшаго тя, Сотворшаго небо и основавшаго землю: и боялся еси присно во вся дни лица ярости стужающаго тебе: како бо восхоте взяти тя, и ныне где ярость стужающаго тебе?
14 The captive exile will speedily be freed. He will not die and go down into the pit. His bread will not fail.
Внегда бо спастися тебе, не станет, ниже умедлит:
15 For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar. the LORD of Armies is his name.
яко Аз Бог твой, возмущаяй море и творяй шум волнам его: Господь Саваоф имя Мне.
16 I have put my words in your mouth and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
Положу словеса Моя во уста твоя и под сению руки Моея покрыю тя, еюже поставих небо и основах землю: и речет Сиону: людие Мои есте вы.
17 Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the LORD’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
Востани, востани, воскресени, Иерусалиме, испивый чашу ярости от руки Господни: чашу бо падения, фиал ярости испил и истощил еси,
18 There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth; and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons whom she has brought up.
и не бысть утешаяй тебе от всех чад твоих, яже родил еси, и не бысть подемлющаго руки твоея, ниже от всех сынов твоих, ихже вознесл еси.
19 These two things have happened to you— who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and famine and the sword. How can I comfort you?
Два сия противна тебе, кто сожалеет тебе? Падение и сокрушение, глад и мечь, кто утешит тя?
20 Your sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net. They are full of the LORD’s wrath, the rebuke of your God.
Сынове твои обнищавшии, седяще на краи всякаго исхода, яко свекла недовареная, исполнени ярости Господни, разслаблени Господем Богом.
21 Therefore now hear this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
Сего ради слыши, смиренный и упивыйся не вином:
22 Your Lord GOD, your God who pleads the cause of his people, says, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. You will not drink it any more.
тако глаголет Господь Бог судяй людем Своим: се, взях от руки твоея чашу падения, фиал ярости Моея, и не приложиши ксему пити ея:
23 I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’ and you have laid your back as the ground, like a street to those who walk over.”
и вложу ю в руце преобидевших тя и смиривших тя, иже рекоша души твоей: преклонися, да минем: и положил еси равно земли плещы твоя отвне мимоходящым.
