Isaiah 48
1 [Yahweh says], “You descendants [MTY] of Jacob, who are [also] descendants of Judah and are now called [the people of] Israel, Listen to me! You make solemn promises using my name, Yahweh, and you request that I, the God to whom you Israeli people belong, [will hear you], but you do not do it sincerely.
Услышите сия, доме Иаковль, прозваннии именем Израилевым и изшедшии из Иуды, кленущиися именем Господа Бога Израилева, поминающии не со истиною, ниже со правдою,
2 You say that you live in the holy city [of Jerusalem], and [you insincerely say] that you are relying on me, the God to whom you [people of] Israel belong, the one who is the Commander of the armies of angels.
и придержащиися имени града святаго, и о Бозе Израилеве подтверждающиися: Господь Саваоф имя Ему.
3 Long ago I [MTY] predicted what would happen [DOU]. And then suddenly, I caused those things to happen.
Преждняя еще возвестих, и из уст Моих изыдоша, и слышано бысть: внезапу сотворих, и найде.
4 I knew that you people are very stubborn; I knew that your heads are [MET] [as hard as] iron or brass [DOU].
Вем, яко жесток еси, и жила железна выя твоя, и чело твое медяно.
5 That is why I told you those things long ago. Long before they occurred, I announced that they would occur, in order that [when they happened] you could not say ‘Our idols did it; our statue made of wood and our idol made of metal caused them to happen.’
И возвестих ти, яже древле, прежде неже приити на тя: слышана тебе сотворих, да не когда речеши, яко идоли мне сия сотвориша, и не рцы, яко изваянная и слиянная заповедаша мне.
6 You have heard those things [that I predicted] and now you have seen that they have all occurred, so why do you not admit it [RHQ]? Now I will tell you new things, things that you have not known previously.
Слышасте вся, и вы не разуместе: но и слышана тебе сотворих новая отныне, яже имут быти:
7 I am causing them to happen now; they are not things I did long ago. So you cannot say, ‘We already knew about those things.’
и не рекл еси: ныне бывают, а не прежде, и не в преждния дни слышал еси сия: не рцы: ей, вем сия.
8 [I will tell you about] things that you have never heard about or understood before. Even long ago you did not pay attention to me [IDM]. I know that you act very deceitfully/treacherously; you have rebelled against me since you first became a nation [MTY].
Не ведел еси, ниже разумел еси, ниже исперва отверзох ушеса твоя: ведех бо, яко отвергая отринеши и беззаконник еще от чрева прозовешися.
9 But, for my own sake, in order that I will be honored, I will not punish [MTY] you immediately and I will not completely get rid of you.
Имене Моего ради покажу ти ярость Мою, и славная Моя наведу на тя, да не потреблю тебе.
10 I have purified you, but not the way [people refine] silver. Instead, I have caused you to suffer very much [to get rid of your impure behavior], like [MET] [people put metal in a very hot] furnace [to get rid of the impurities].
Се, продах тя не сребра ради: изях же тя из пещи убожества.
11 But for my [MTY] own sake I will delay punishing you more; I will do it for my own sake in order that my reputation will not be damaged [RHQ]. I will not allow any [person or any idol] to be honored as I [deserve to be] honored.”
Мене ради сотворю ти, яко Мое имя оскверняется, и славы Моея иному не дам.
12 “You descendants [MTY] of Jacob, you people of Israel whom I have chosen, listen to me! [Only] I am God; I am the one who begins everything and who causes everything to end.
Послушай Мене, Иакове и Израилю, егоже Аз призываю: Аз есмь первый и Аз есмь во век.
13 I [SYN] am the one who laid the foundation of the earth. I stretched out the sky with my hand. And when I tell [the stars] to appear, they all do what I tell them.
И рука Моя основа землю, и десница Моя утверди небо: призову я, и станут вкупе,
14 All of you, gather together and listen to me. None of your idols has [RHQ] told this to you: I, Yahweh, have chosen [Cyrus] to assist me, and he will do to Babylon what I want him to do, and his army will get rid of [the army of] Babylonia.
и соберутся вси и услышат: кто им возвести сия? Любя тя сотворих волю твою над Вавилоном, еже отяти племя Халдейско.
15 I have said it; I have summoned [Cyrus]. I have appointed him, and he will accomplish everything that he attempts to do.
Аз глаголах, Аз призвах, приведох и, и благопоспешит путь его.
16 Come close to me and listen to what I say. Long ago [MTY] I told you plainly/clearly [LIT] [what would happen], and when those things occurred, I was [causing them to happen].” And now Yahweh the Lord and his Spirit have sent me [to give you a message].
Приступите ко Мне и слышите сия, исперва не отай глаголах: егда бываху, тамо бех, и ныне Господь Господь посла Мя и Дух Его.
17 This is what Yahweh, the one who saves you, the Holy God of [us] Israelis, says: “I am Yahweh, your God; I teach you what is important for you [to know]; I direct you and lead you to the roads that you should walk on [MET].
Тако глаголет Господь, Избавивый тя, Святый Израилев: Аз есмь Господь Бог твой, научих тя, еже обрести тебе путь, по немуже пойдеши.
18 I wish that you had paid attention to my commands! If you had done that, things would have gone well for you like [SIM] a river that flows gently; you would have been successful again and again, like [SIM] waves that come without ceasing.
И аще бы еси послушал заповедий Моих, то был бы убо аки река мир твой, и правда твоя яко волна морская,
19 Your descendants would have been [as many as] [MET] the grains of sand [on the seashore] [which no one can count]. I would not have needed to get rid of you; the country of [MTY] [Israel] would not have been destroyed.”
и было бы яко песок семя твое, и изчадия чрева твоего яко персть земли: ниже ныне потребишися, ниже погибнет имя твое предо Мною.
20 [However, now I tell you], leave Babylon! Flee from [being slaves of the people of] Babylonia! Proclaim this message joyfully; send it to the most remote/distant places on the earth: Yahweh freed the people of Israel [from being slaves in Egypt].
Изыди от Вавилона, бежай от Халдеев: глас радости возвестите, и да слышано будет сие, возвестите даже до последних земли, глаголите: избави Господь раба Своего Иакова.
21 They were not thirsty when he led them through the desert, because he split open the rock and caused water to gush/flow out for them [to drink].
И аще вжаждут, пустынею проведет их и воду из камене изведет им: разсядется камень, и потечет вода, и испиют людие Мои.
22 “But things will not go well [like that] for wicked people,” says Yahweh.
Несть радоватися нечестивым, глаголет Господь.
