¹

Hold a feast to me, ye islands: for the princes shall renew their strength: let them draw nigh and speak together: then let them declare judgment.

¹

Обновля́йтеся ко мнѣ́, о́строви, кня́зи бо измѣня́тъ крѣ́пость: да прибли́жатся и да глаго́лютъ вку́пѣ, тогда́ су́дъ да возвѣща́ютъ.

²

Who raised up righteousness from the east, and called it to his feet, so that it should go? shall appoint it an adversary of Gentiles, and shall dismay kings, and bury their swords in the earth, and cast forth their bows and arrows as sticks?

²

Кто́ возста́ви от восто́къ пра́вду, призва́ ю́ къ нога́мъ свои́мъ, и по́йдетъ? да́стъ предъ язы́ки, и цари́ ужаси́тъ: и пове́ржетъ на зе́млю мечы́ и́хъ, и а́ки сте́бліє отве́ржени лу́цы и́хъ,

³

And he shall pursue them; the way of his feet shall proceed in peace.

³

и прожене́тъ я́, и про́йдетъ съ ми́ромъ пу́ть но́гъ єго́.

⁴

Who has wrought and done these things? he has called it who called it from the generations of old; I God, the first and to all futurity, I AM.

⁴

Кто́ содѣ́ла и сотвори́ сія́? призва́ ю́ призыва́яй ю́ от нача́ла родо́въ. А́зъ Бо́гъ пе́рвый, и въ гряду́щая а́зъ є́смь.

⁵

The nations saw, and feared; the ends of the earth drew nigh, and came together,

⁵

Ви́дѣша язы́цы и убоя́шася, концы́ земні́и прибли́жишася и пріидо́ша вку́пѣ.

⁶

every one judging for his neighbour and that to assist his brother: and one will say,

⁶

Судя́й кі́йждо бли́жнему, и бра́ту помощи́, и рече́тъ:

⁷

The artificer has become strong, and the coppersmith that smites with the hammer, and forges also: sometimes he will say, It is a piece well joined: they have fastened them with nails; they will fix them, and they shall not be moved.

⁷

превозмо́же му́жъ древодѣ́латель, и кова́чь бія́й мла́томъ, вку́пѣ прокова́яй: овогда́ у́бо рече́тъ: спая́ніє добро́ є́сть, утверди́ша я́ гвоздьми́, положа́тъ я́, и не подви́гнутся.

⁸

But thou, Israel, art my servant Jacob, and he whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraam, whom I have loved:

⁸

Ты́ же, Ізра́илю, ра́бе мо́й, Іа́кове, єго́же избра́хъ, сѣ́мя Авраа́мле, єго́же возлюби́хъ,

⁹

whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and from the high places of it I have called thee, and said to thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and I have not forsaken thee.

⁹

єго́же поя́хъ от коне́цъ земли́, и от стра́жбъ єя́ призва́хъ тя́, и реко́хъ ти́: ра́бъ мо́й єси́, избра́хъ тя́, и не оста́вихъ тебе́:

¹⁰

Fear not; for I am with thee: wander not; for I am thy God, who have strengthened thee; and I have helped thee, and have established thee with my just right hand.

¹⁰

не бо́йся, съ тобо́ю бо є́смь, не прельща́ю: а́зъ бо є́смь Бо́гъ тво́й, укрѣпи́вый тя́, и помого́хъ ти́, и утверди́хъ тя́ десни́цею моє́ю пра́ведною:

¹¹

Behold, all thine adversaries shall be ashamed and confounded; for they shall be as if they were not: and all thine opponents shall perish.

¹¹

се́, постыдя́тся и посра́мятся вси́ сопротивля́ющіися тебѣ́, бу́дутъ бо я́ко не су́щіи, и поги́бнутъ вси́ сопе́рницы твои́:

¹²

Thou shalt seek them, and thou shalt not find the men who shall insolently rage against thee: for they shall be as if they were not, and they that war against thee shall not be.

¹²

взы́щеши и́хъ, и не обря́щеши человѣ́ковъ, и́же поруга́ются тебѣ́: бу́дутъ бо а́ки не бы́вшіи и не бу́дутъ ра́тующіи тебе́.

¹³

For I am thy God, who holdeth thy right hand, who saith to thee,

¹³

Я́ко а́зъ Бо́гъ тво́й держа́й десни́цу твою́, глаго́ляй тебѣ́:

¹⁴

Fear not, Jacob, and thou Israel few in number; I have helped thee, saith thy God, he that redeems thee, O Israel.

¹⁴

не бо́йся, Іа́кове, ма́лый Ізра́илю, а́зъ помого́хъ ти́, глаго́летъ Бо́гъ тво́й, избавля́яй тя́ святы́й Ізра́илевъ:

¹⁵

Behold, I have made thee as new saw-shaped threshing wheels of a waggon; and thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat the hills to powder, and make them as chaff:

¹⁵

се́, сотвори́хъ тя́ а́ки коле́са колесни́чная но́вая, стира́ющая а́ки пила́, и сотре́ши го́ры, и истончи́ши хо́лмы, и а́ки пра́хъ положи́ши,

¹⁶

and thou shalt winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and a tempest shall scatter them: but thou shalt rejoice in the holy ones of Israel.

¹⁶

и извѣ́єши, и вѣ́тръ во́зметъ я́, и бу́ря развѣ́єтъ я́: ты́ же возвесели́шися во святы́хъ Ізра́илевыхъ.

¹⁷

And the poor and the needy shall exult; for when they shall seek water, and there shall be none, and their tongue is parched with thirst, I the Lord God, I the God of Israel will hear, and will not forsake them:

¹⁷

И возра́дуются убо́зіи и неиму́щіи: пои́щутъ бо воды́, и не бу́детъ, язы́къ и́хъ от жа́жди и́зсше. А́зъ Госпо́дь Бо́гъ, а́зъ услы́шу и́хъ, Бо́гъ Ізра́илевъ, и не оста́влю и́хъ,

¹⁸

but I will open rivers on the mountains, and fountains in the midst of plains: I will make the desert pools of water, and a thirsty land watercourses.

¹⁸

но отве́рзу на гора́хъ рѣ́ки и среди́ по́ля исто́чники, сотворю́ пусты́ню въ лу́ги водны́я и жа́ждущую зе́млю въ водоте́чы,

¹⁹

I will plant in the dry land the cedar and box, the myrtle and cypress, and white poplar:

¹⁹

положу́ въ безво́дную зе́млю ке́дръ и сме́рчіє, и мирсі́ну и кипарі́съ и топо́лю:

²⁰

that they may see, and know, and perceive, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord has wrought these works, and the Holy One of Israel has displayed them.

²⁰

да у́зрятъ и уразумѣ́ютъ, и помы́слятъ и увѣ́дятъ вку́пѣ, я́ко рука́ Госпо́дня сотвори́ сія́ вся́, и святы́й Ізра́илевъ показа́.

²¹

Your judgment draws nigh, saith the Lord God; your counsels have drawn nigh, saith the King of Jacob.

²¹

Приближа́єтся су́дъ ва́шъ, глаго́летъ Госпо́дь Бо́гъ: прибли́жишася совѣ́ти ва́ши, глаго́летъ Ца́рь Іа́ковль.

²²

Let them draw nigh, and declare to you what things shall come to pass; or tell us what things were of old, and we will apply our understanding, and we shall know what are the last and the future things:

²²

Да прибли́жатся и возвѣстя́тъ ва́мъ, я́же сбу́дутся, или́ я́же пре́жде бы́ша, рцы́те: и приста́вимъ у́мъ и уразумѣ́ємъ, что́ послѣ́дняя и бу́дущая: рцы́те на́мъ,

²³

tell us, declare ye to us the things that are coming on at the last time, and we shall know that ye are gods: do good, and do evil, and we shall wonder, and see at the same time

²³

возвѣсти́те на́мъ гряду́щая на послѣ́докъ, и увѣ́мы, я́ко бо́зи єсте́: бла́го сотвори́те и зло́ сотвори́те, и почуди́мся и у́зримъ вку́пѣ.

²⁴

whence ye are, and whence is your work: they have chosen you an abomination out of the earth.

²⁴

Я́ко отку́ду єсте́ вы́, и отку́ду дѣ́ло ва́ше? от земли́ ме́рзость избра́ша ва́съ.

²⁵

But I have raised up him that comes from the north, and him that comes from the rising of the sun: they shall be called by my name: let the princes come, and as potter's clay, and as a potter treading clay, so shall ye be trodden down.

²⁵

А́зъ же возста́вихъ, и́же от сѣ́вера и и́же от восто́къ со́лнечныхъ, прозову́тся и́менемъ мои́мъ: да пріи́дутъ кня́зи, и я́ко бре́ніє скуде́льника и я́ко скуде́льникъ то́пчущь бре́ніє, та́ко попра́ни бу́дете.

²⁶

For who will declare the things from the beginning, that we may know also the former things, and we will say that they are true? there is no one that speaks beforehand, nor any one that hears your words.

²⁶

Кто́ бо возвѣсти́тъ, я́же испе́рва, да увѣ́мы, я́же напреди́, и рече́мъ, я́ко и́стинна су́ть? нѣ́сть предглаго́лющаго, ни слы́шащаго слове́съ ва́шихъ.

²⁷

I will give dominion to Sion, and will comfort Jerusalem by the way.

²⁷

Нача́ло Сіо́ну да́мъ и Ієрусали́ма утѣ́шу на пути́.

²⁸

For from among the nations, behold, there was no one; and of their idols there was none to declare anything: and if I should ask them, Whence are ye? they could not answer me.

²⁸

От язы́къ бо, се́, ни єди́нъ: и от кумі́ръ и́хъ нѣ́сть возвѣща́яй. И а́ще вопрошу́ и́хъ, отку́ду єсте́, не отвѣща́ютъ ми́.

²⁹

For these are your makers, as ye think, and they that cause you to err in vain.

²⁹

Су́ть бо творя́щіи ва́съ и всу́є прельща́ющіи ва́съ.
