¹

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith God.

¹

Оу҆тѣша́йте, оу҆тѣша́йте лю́ди моѧ̑, гл҃етъ бг҃ъ:

²

Speak, ye priests, to the heart of Jerusalem; comfort her, for her humiliation is accomplished, her sin is put away: for she has received of the Lord's hand double the amount of her sins.

²

свѧще́нницы, глаго́лите въ се́рдце і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мꙋ, оу҆тѣша́йте и҆̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ напо́лнисѧ смире́нїе є҆гѡ̀, разрѣши́сѧ грѣ́хъ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїѧ́тъ ѿ рꙋ́ки гдⷭ҇ни сꙋгꙋ̑бы грѣхѝ своѧ̑.

³

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight the paths of our God.

³

Гла́съ вопїю́щагѡ въ пꙋсты́ни: оу҆гото́вайте пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень, пра̑вы сотвори́те стєзѝ бг҃а на́шегѡ:

⁴

Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low: and all the crooked ways shall become straight, and the rough places plains.

⁴

всѧ́ка де́брь напо́лнитсѧ, и҆ всѧ́ка гора̀ и҆ хо́лмъ смири́тсѧ, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ всѧ̑ стро́пѡтнаѧ въ пра́во, и҆ ѻ҆́страѧ въ пꙋти̑ гла̑дки.

⁵

And the glory of the Lord shall appear, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God: for the Lord has spoken it.

⁵

И҆ ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ сла́ва гдⷭ҇нѧ, и҆ оу҆́зритъ всѧ́ка пло́ть спⷭ҇нїе бж҃їе, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь гл҃а.

⁶

The voice of one saying, Cry; and I said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.

⁶

Гла́съ вопїю́щагѡ: возопі́й. И҆ реко́хъ: что̀ возопїю̀; всѧ́ка пло́ть сѣ́но, и҆ всѧ́ка сла́ва человѣ́ча ꙗ҆́кѡ цвѣ́тъ травны́й:

⁷

The grass withers, and the flower fades:

⁷

и҆́зсше трава̀, и҆ цвѣ́тъ ѿпадѐ,

⁸

but the word of our God abides for ever.

⁸

гл҃го́лъ же бг҃а на́шегѡ пребыва́етъ во вѣ́ки.

⁹

O thou that bringest glad tidings to Zion, go up on the high mountain; lift up thy voice with strength, thou that bringest glad tidings to Jerusalem; lift it up, fear not; say unto the cities of Juda, Behold your God!

⁹

На го́рꙋ высо́кꙋ взы́ди, благовѣствꙋ́ѧй сїѡ́нꙋ, возвы́си крѣ́постїю гла́съ тво́й, благовѣствꙋ́ѧй і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мꙋ: возвы́сите, не бо́йтесѧ. Рцы̀ градѡ́мъ і҆ꙋ̑динымъ:

¹⁰

Behold the Lord! The Lord is coming with strength, and his arm is with power: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

¹⁰

сѐ, бг҃ъ ва́шъ, сѐ, гдⷭ҇ь, гдⷭ҇ь со крѣ́постїю и҆́детъ, и҆ мы́шца є҆гѡ̀ со вла́стїю: сѐ, мзда̀ є҆гѡ̀ съ ни́мъ, и҆ дѣ́ло є҆гѡ̀ пред̾ ни́мъ:

¹¹

He shall tend his flock as a shepherd, and he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and shall soothe them that are with young.

¹¹

а҆́ки па́стырь оу҆пасе́тъ па́ствꙋ свою̀, и҆ мы́шцею свое́ю собере́тъ а҆́гнцы, и҆ и҆мꙋ́щыѧ во оу҆тро́бѣ оу҆тѣ́шитъ.

¹²

Who has measured the water in his hand, and the heaven with a span, and all the earth in a handful? Who has weighed the mountains in scales, and the forests in a balance?

¹²

Кто̀ и҆змѣ́ри го́рстїю во́дꙋ и҆ не́бо пѧ́дїю и҆ всю̀ зе́млю го́рстїю; кто̀ поста́ви го́ры въ мѣ́рилѣ и҆ хо́лмы въ вѣ́сѣ;

¹³

Who has known the mind of the Lord? and who has been his counsellor, to instruct him?

¹³

кто̀ оу҆разꙋмѣ̀ оу҆́мъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ кто̀ совѣ́тникъ є҆мꙋ̀ бы́сть, и҆́же наꙋча́етъ є҆го̀;

¹⁴

Or with whom has he taken counsel, and he has instructed him? or who has taught him judgment, or who has taught him the way of understanding;

¹⁴

и҆лѝ съ ки́мъ совѣ́това, и҆ наста́ви и҆̀; и҆лѝ кто̀ показа̀ є҆мꙋ̀ сꙋ́дъ; и҆лѝ пꙋ́ть разꙋмѣ́нїѧ кто̀ показа̀ є҆мꙋ̀; и҆лѝ кто̀ пре́жде дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ возда́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀;

¹⁵

since all the nations are counted as a drop from a bucket, and as the turning of a balance, and shall be counted as spittle?

¹⁵

А҆́ще всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы, а҆́ки ка́плѧ ѿ ка́ди, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ претѧже́нїе вѣ́са вмѣни́шасѧ, и҆ а҆́ки плюнове́нїе вмѣнѧ́тсѧ;

¹⁶

And Libanus is not enough to burn, nor all beasts enough for a whole-burnt offering:

¹⁶

Дꙋбра́ва же лїва́нова не дово́лна на сожже́нїе, и҆ всѧ̑ четверонѡ́гаѧ не довѡ́лна на всесожже́нїе.

¹⁷

and all the nations are as nothing, and counted as nothing.

¹⁷

И҆ всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы ꙗ҆́кѡ ничто́же сꙋ́ть, и҆ въ ничто́же вмѣни́шасѧ.

¹⁸

To whom have ye compared the Lord? and with what likeness have ye compared him?

¹⁸

Комꙋ̀ оу҆подо́бисте гдⷭ҇а, и҆ ко́емꙋ подо́бїю оу҆подо́бисте є҆го̀;

¹⁹

Has not the artificer made an image, or the goldsmith having melted gold, gilt it over, and made it a similitude?

¹⁹

Є҆да̀ ѡ҆́бразъ сотворѝ древодѣ́латель, и҆лѝ зла́тарь слїѧ́въ зла́то позлатѝ є҆го̀, и҆лѝ подо́бїемъ сотворѝ є҆го̀;

²⁰

For the artificer chooses out a wood that will not rot, and will wisely enquire how he shall set up his image, and that so that it should not be moved.

²⁰

Дре́во бо негнїю́щее и҆збира́етъ древодѣ́латель и҆ мꙋ́дрѣ и҆́щетъ, ка́кѡ поста́витъ ѡ҆́бразъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ да не поколе́блетсѧ.

²¹

Will ye not know? will ye not hear? has it not been told you of old? Have ye not known the foundations of the earth?

²¹

Не разꙋмѣ́сте ли, не слы́шасте ли, не возвѣсти́сѧ ли ва́мъ и҆спе́рва; не разꙋмѣ́сте ли ѡ҆снова̑нїѧ землѝ;

²²

It is he that comprehends the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants in it are as grasshoppers; he that set up the heaven as a chamber, and stretched it out as a tent to dwell in:

²²

Содержа́й крꙋ́гъ землѝ, и҆ живꙋ́щїи на не́й а҆́ки прꙋ́зи: поста́вивый не́бо ꙗ҆́кѡ кама́рꙋ и҆ просте́ръ є҆̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ски́нїю ѡ҆бита́ти:

²³

he that appoints princes to rule as nothing, and has made the earth as nothing.

²³

даѧ́й кнѧ̑зи а҆́ки ничто́же владѣ́ти, и҆ зе́млю а҆́ки ничто́же сотворѝ.

²⁴

For they shall not plant, neither shall they sow, neither shall their root be fixed in the ground: he has blown upon them, and they are withered, and a storm shall carry them away like sticks.

²⁴

Не насадѧ́тъ бо, нижѐ насѣ́ютъ, и҆ не вкорени́тсѧ въ землѝ коре́нїе и҆́хъ: дхнꙋ̀ на ни́хъ вѣ́тръ, и҆ и҆зсхо́ша, и҆ бꙋ́рѧ а҆́ки сте́блїе во́зметъ и҆̀хъ.

²⁵

Now then to whom have ye compared me, that I may be exalted? saith the Holy One.

²⁵

Нн҃ѣ оу҆̀бо комꙋ́ мѧ оу҆подо́бисте, и҆ вознесꙋ́сѧ; речѐ ст҃ы́й.

²⁶

Lift up your eyes on high, and see, who has displayed all these things? even he that brings forth his host by number: he shall call them all by name by means of his great glory, and by the power of his might: nothing has escaped thee.

²⁶

Воззри́те на высотꙋ̀ ѻ҆чи́ма ва́шима и҆ ви́дите, кто̀ сотворѝ сїѧ̑ всѧ̑: носѧ́й по числꙋ̀ оу҆́тварь свою̀, и҆ всѧ̑ по и҆́мени прозове́тъ ѿ мно́гїѧ сла́вы и҆ въ держа́вѣ крѣ́пости своеѧ̀: ничто́же оу҆таи́сѧ ѿ тебє̀.

²⁷

For say not thou, O Jacob, and why hast thou spoken, Israel, saying, My way is hid from God, and my God has taken away my judgment, and has departed?

²⁷

Є҆да́ бо рече́ши, і҆а́кѡве, и҆ что̀ глаго́лалъ є҆сѝ, і҆и҃лю: оу҆таи́сѧ пꙋ́ть мо́й ѿ бг҃а, и҆ бг҃ъ мо́й сꙋ́дъ ѿѧ̀, и҆ ѿстꙋпѝ;

²⁸

And now, hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? the eternal God, the God that formed the ends of the earth, shall not hunger, nor be weary, and there is no searching of his understanding.

²⁸

И҆ нн҃ѣ не оу҆разꙋмѣ́лъ ли є҆сѝ; ни лѝ слы́шалъ є҆сѝ; бг҃ъ вѣ́чный, бг҃ъ оу҆стро́ивый концы̑ землѝ, не вза́лчетъ, нижѐ оу҆трꙋди́тсѧ, нижѐ є҆́сть и҆з̾ѡбрѣ́тенїе премⷣрости є҆гѡ̀,

²⁹

He gives strength to the hungry, and sorrow to them that are not suffering.

²⁹

даѧ́й а҆́лчꙋщымъ крѣ́пость и҆ неболѣ́знєннымъ печа́ль.

³⁰

For the young men shall hunger, and the youths shall be weary, and the choice men shall be powerless:

³⁰

Вза́лчꙋтъ бо ю҆нѣ́йшїи, и҆ оу҆трꙋдѧ́тсѧ ю҆́нѡты, и҆ и҆збра́ннїи не крѣ́пцы бꙋ́дꙋтъ:

³¹

but they that wait on God shall renew their strength; they shall put forth new feathers like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not hunger.

³¹

терпѧ́щїи же гдⷭ҇а и҆змѣнѧ́тъ крѣ́пость, ѡ҆крыла́тѣютъ а҆́ки ѻ҆рлѝ, потекꙋ́тъ и҆ не оу҆трꙋдѧ́тсѧ, по́йдꙋтъ и҆ не вза́лчꙋтъ.
