Isaiah 43
1 But now, you people of Israel, listen to Yahweh, the one who established your nation. The one who caused you to become a nation [DOU] says this: “Do not be afraid, because I previously rescued you. I enabled you to have a personal relationship with me [MTY], and you belong to me.
А сега, така казва Господ Творецът ти, Якове, И създателят ти, Израилю: Не бой се, защото Аз те изкупих, Призовах те по име, Мой си ти
2 When you [experience dangerous situations], and [you feel like] [MET] you are crossing deep rivers, I will be with you. When you have very big troubles/difficulties, you will [LIT] be able to endure them. When [people try to kill you like they tried to kill Daniel’s three friends by] throwing them in a fire, you will not [die, just like Daniel’s three friends were not] burned up,
Когато минаваш през водите, с тебе ще бъда, И през реките, те не ще те потопят; Когато ходиш през огъня, ти няма да се изгориш, И пламъкът не ще те опали.
3 because I am Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, the one who rescues you. I will enable [the army of the emperor of Persia] to conquer Egypt instead of conquering you; similarly I will enable them to conquer Ethiopia, and Seba [in Arabia], in order that you can be saved.
Защото Аз съм Иеова твоят Бог, Светият Израилев, твоят Спасител; За твой откуп дадох Египет, За тебе Етиопия и Сева.
4 I will cause other countries to be conquered, instead of your country; I will trade them for you, in order that you will not be killed, because you are very precious [DOU] to me and because I love you.
Понеже ти бе скъпоценен пред очите Ми, И почетен, и аз те възлюбих, Затова ще дам човеци а тебе, И племена за живота ти.
5 Do not be afraid, because I am with you. [Some day] I will gather your descendants from the east and from the west.
Не бой се, защото Аз съм с тебе; От изток ще доведа потомството ти, И от запад ще те събера;
6 I will command the [rulers of the nations to] the north and to the south, ‘Allow all the people of Israel to return [to their country], from the most distant places on the earth.
Ще река на севера: Възвърни, И на юга: Не задържай; Доведи синовете Ми от далеч, И дъщерите Ми от земния край,
7 Allow all those who belong to me [MTY] to return, because I have caused them to become a nation in order that they would honor me; I am the one who has done that [DOU].’
Всички, които се наричат с Моето име, Които сътворих за славата Си; Аз създадох всеки от тях, да! Аз го направих.
8 Summon the people who have eyes but [it is as though] they are blind; summon those who have ears but [because they do not listen to me, it is as though] they are deaf.
Изведи слепите люде, които имат очи, И глухите, които имат уши.
9 Gather people of all nations together, ones from all people-groups, [and ask them this]: ‘Has any of their idols foretold the things that are happening now? And can any of them predict what will happen in the future?’ Then bring people who will testify and say ‘I heard them predict things, and what they predicted was what happened,’ [but they will be lying].”
Нека се съберат заедно всичките народи, И нека се стекат племената; Кой от тях може да възвести това и да ни обясни предишните събития? Нека доведат свидетелите си, за да се оправдаят Та да чуят човеците и да рекат: Това е вярно
10 But Yahweh says, “You people of Israel (are my witnesses/know what I have done), and you are the ones who serve me. I chose you in order that you would know me, believe in me, and understand that I am the only one who is [truly] God. There is no other [true] God. There was no other [true] God previously, and there will never be another [true] God.
Вие сте Мои свидетели, казва Господ, И служителят Ми, когото избрах, За да Ме познаете и да повярвате в Мене, И да разберете, че съм Аз, - Че преди Мене не е имало Бог. И подир Мене няма да има.
11 I, [only] I, am Yahweh, and there is no other one who can save you.
Аз, Аз съм Господ; И освен Мене няма спасител
12 I said that I would rescue [your ancestors], and then I rescued them, and I proclaimed [that I had done it]. No foreign god among you did that! And you are witnesses that only I, Yahweh, am God.
Аз възвестих, и спасих, и показах, Когато не е имало между вас чужд Бог; Затова вие сте Ми свидетели, казва Господ, Че Аз съм Бог.
13 I am God, the one who has existed forever and who will exist forever; no one can snatch people from my hand, and no one can alter/change what I have done.”
Да, преди да е имало време, Аз съм; И няма кой да избави от ръката Ми; Аз действувам, и кой ще Ми попречи?
14 Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, is the one who rescues you; and this is what he says: “For your sake, I will send [an army] to [attack] Babylon. They will force the people of that city to flee in ships which they have been proud of.
Така казва Господ, вашият Изкупител, Светият Израилев; Заради вас пратих във Вавилон, И ще доведа всички като бежанци, Дори халдеите, в корабите, с които се хвалеха.
15 I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the one who caused Israel to become a nation, and the one who is really your king.
Аз съм Господ, Светият ваш, Творецът Израилев, ваш Цар.
16 I am Yahweh, the one who opened a path through the water, making a road through the [Red] Sea.
Така казва Господ, Който прави път в морето, И пътека в буйните води,
17 Then I summoned the great army [of Egypt] to come with all their chariots and horses. [But when they tried to pursue my people], I caused the waves to flow over them [and they drowned]; their lives ended [like the light of a candle ends when someone] [MET] snuffs out the wick.
Който извежда колесници и коне, войска и сила: Те всички ще легнат, няма да станат; Унищожиха се, угаснаха като фитил.
18 But do not think [only] about what happened in the past, long ago [DOU].
Не си спомняйте предишните неща, Нито мислете за древните събития.
19 Instead, consider the new thing that I am going to do. I have already started to do it; can you see it? I am going to make a road through the desert. And I will cause there to be streams in the wasteland/desert.
Ето, Аз ще направя ново нещо; Сега ще се появи; не ще ли внимавате в него? Да ще направя път в пустинята, И реки в безводната земя.
20 The jackals/wolves and owls and other wild creatures will thank me for giving them water in the desert. I will cause streams to appear in the dry desert in order that my people, the ones whom I have chosen, will have water;
Полските зверове ще Ме прославят, - Чакалите и камилоптиците, - Защото давам вода в пустинята, Реки в безводната земя, За да напоя людете Си, избраните Си,
21 I will do that for the people whom I have created [and chosen] to belong to me, and [some day] they will cause many others to praise me.
Людете, които създадох за Себе Си, За да оповестяват хвалата Ми.
22 But now, you descendants of Jacob, you refuse to request my help. It seems that you people of Israel have become tired of worshiping me.
Но ти Якове, не Ме призова; Но ти Израилю, се отегчи от Мене,
23 You have not brought to me sheep or goats for offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]; you have not honored me by [bringing to me any] sacrifices, even though the offerings of grain and incense [that I asked you] to bring to me were not a burden to you.
Не си Ми принасял агънцата на всеизгарянията си, Нито си Ме почитал с жертвите си. Аз не те заробих с приноси, И не ти дотегнах с ливан.
24 You have bought for me fragrant reeds, and you have brought me the fat from your sacrifices. But these have not pleased me, because you have burdened me by all the sins that you have committed, and made me weary because of all (your iniquities/the wrong things that you have done).
Не си купил за Мене благоуханна тръстика с пари, Нито си Ме наситил с тлъстината на жертвите си; Но си Ме заробил с греховете си Дотегнал си Ми с беззаконията си,
25 I am the one who is able to forgive you for all your sins; I am the only one who can do that, with the result that I will never think about them again.
Аз, Аз съм, Който изтривам твоите престъпления заради Себе Си, И няма да си спомня за греховете ти.
26 Tell me what I have done that you do not like. Do you think that when you state your case, you will prove that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong) [IRO]?
Подсети Ме, за да се съдим заедно; Представи делото си, за да се оправдаеш.
27 No, [what has happened is that] the first ancestor of you Israelis sinned [against me], and since then, all your leaders have rebelled against me.
Твоят праотец съгреши, И учителите ти престъпиха против Мене.
28 That is why I have caused your priests to be disgraced; and I have allowed others to destroy you people of Israel and caused you to be despised.”
Затова ще сваля от свещенството им великите служители на светилището. И ще обрека Якова на изтребление, И ще направя Израиля за поругание.
