¹

But now hear, Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen.

¹

Ны́нѣ же слы́ши, ра́бе мо́й Іа́кове, и Ізра́илю, єго́же избра́хъ.

²

Thus saith the Lord God that made thee, and he that formed thee from the womb; Thou shalt yet be helped: fear not, my servant Jacob; and beloved Israel, whom I have chosen.

²

Си́це глаго́летъ Госпо́дь Бо́гъ сотвори́вый тя́ и созда́вый тя́ изъ утро́бы: єще́ помо́жетъ ти́: не бо́йся, ра́бе мо́й Іа́кове, и возлю́бленный Ізра́илю, єго́же избра́хъ.

³

For I will give water to the thirsty that walk in a dry land: I will put my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessings upon thy children:

³

Я́ко а́зъ да́мъ во́ду въ жа́жду ходя́щымъ въ безво́днѣй, наложу́ Ду́хъ мо́й на сѣ́мя твоє́ и благослове́нія моя́ на ча́да твоя́,

⁴

and they shall spring up as grass between brooks, and as willows on the banks of running water.

⁴

и прозя́бнутъ а́ки трава́ посредѣ́ воды́ и я́ко ве́рба при водѣ́ теку́щей.

⁵

One shall say, I am God's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand, I am God's, and shall call himself by the name of Israel.

⁵

Се́й рече́тъ: Бо́жій є́смь: и се́й возопіє́тъ о и́мени Іа́ковли, и другі́й напи́шетъ руко́ю своє́ю: Бо́жій є́смь: и о и́мени Ізра́илевѣ возопіє́тъ.

⁶

Thus saith God the King of Israel, and the God of hosts that delivered him; I am the first, and I am hereafter: beside me there is no God.

⁶

Си́це глаго́летъ Бо́гъ Ца́рь Ізра́илевъ, и избавле́й єго́ Бо́гъ Савао́ѳъ: а́зъ пе́рвый и а́зъ по си́хъ, кромѣ́ мене́ нѣ́сть Бо́га:

⁷

Who is like me? let him stand, and call, and declare, and prepare for me from the time that I made man for ever; and let them tell you the things that are coming before they arrive.

⁷

кто́ я́коже а́зъ? да ста́нетъ и да призове́тъ, и да возвѣсти́тъ и да угото́витъ ми́, отне́лѣже сотвори́хъ человѣ́ка во вѣ́къ, и гряду́щая пре́жде не́же пріити́ и́мъ, да возвѣстя́тъ ва́мъ.

⁸

Hide not yourselves, nor go astray: have ye not heard from the beginning, and have not I told you? ye are witnesses if there is a God beside me.

⁸

Не укрыва́йтеся, ниже́ заблужда́йте: не испе́рва ли внуши́сте, и возвѣсти́хъ ва́мъ? свидѣ́теліє вы́ єсте́, а́ще є́сть Бо́гъ ра́звѣ мене́.

⁹

But they that framed false gods did not then hearken; and they that graved images are all vain, performing their own desires, which shall not profit them, but they shall be ashamed

⁹

И не послу́шаша тогда́ созида́ющіи, и вая́ющіи вси́ тще́тни, творя́щіи жела́нія своя́, я́же не упо́льзуютъ и́хъ:

¹⁰

that form a god, and all that grave worthless things:

¹⁰

но посра́мятся вси́ созида́ющіи бо́га и вая́ющіи вси́ неполе́зная.

¹¹

and all by whom they were made are withered: yea, let all the deaf be gathered from among men, and let them stand together; and let them be ashamed and confounded together:

¹¹

И вси́, отню́дуже бы́ша, изсхо́ша: и глусі́и от человѣ́къ да соберу́тся вси́ и да ста́нутъ вку́пѣ, и да посра́мятся и устыдя́тся вку́пѣ.

¹²

For the artificer sharpens the iron; he fashions the idol with an axe, and fixes it with an awl, and fashions it with the strength of his arm: and he will be hungry and weak, and will drink no water.

¹²

Я́ко наостри́ древодѣ́латель сѣ́чиво, тесло́ю содѣ́ла о́ноє, и све́рдломъ соста́ви є́, и дла́томъ издолбе́ є́, и содѣ́ла є́ крѣ́постію мы́шцы своєя́: и вза́лчетъ, и изнемо́жетъ, и не напіє́тся воды́.

¹³

The artificer having chosen a piece of wood, marks it out with a rule, and fits it with glue, and makes it as the form of a man, and as the beauty of a man, to set it up in the house.

¹³

И избра́въ древодѣ́ля дре́во, поста́ви є́ въ мѣ́ру, и кле́ємъ состро́и є́, и сотвори́ є́ а́ки о́бразъ му́жескъ и а́ки красоту́ человѣ́чу, поста́вити є́ въ дому́.

¹⁴

He cuts wood out of the forest, which the Lord planted, even a pine tree, and the rain made it grow,

¹⁴

Посѣче́ дре́во въ дубра́вѣ, є́же насади́ Госпо́дь, со́сну, и до́ждь возрасти́,

¹⁵

that it might be for men to burn: and having taken part of it he warms himself; yea, they burn part of it, and bake loaves thereon; and of the rest they make for themselves gods, and they worship them.

¹⁵

да бу́детъ человѣ́комъ на жже́ніє: и взя́въ от него́, согрѣ́ся, и изже́гше я́, испеко́ша и́ми хлѣ́бы, изъ оста́вшаго же сотвори́ша бо́ги и покланя́ются и́мъ: сотвори́ є́ изва́янноє, и прекланя́єтся и́мъ.

¹⁶

Half thereof he burns in the fire, and with half of it he bakes loaves on the coals; and having roasted flesh on it he eats, and is satisfied, and having warmed himself he says, I am comfortable, for I have warmed myself, and have seen the fire.

¹⁶

По́лъ єго́ сожже́ огне́мъ, и по́лъ єго́ сожже́ на у́гліє, и испече́ въ ни́хъ хлѣ́бы, и на ни́хъ испече́ мя́со, и яде́, и насы́тися, и согрѣ́вся рече́: сла́дко мнѣ́, я́ко согрѣ́хся и ви́дѣхъ о́гнь.

¹⁷

And the rest he makes a graven god, and worships, and prays, saying, Deliver me; for thou art my God.

¹⁷

Изъ оста́вшаго же сотвори́ бо́га изва́янна, прекланя́єтся єму́ и покланя́єтся, и мо́лится єму́ глаго́ля: изба́ви мя́, я́ко бо́гъ мо́й єси́ ты́.

¹⁸

They have no understanding to perceive; for they have been blinded so that they should not see with their eyes, nor perceive with their heart.

¹⁸

Не увѣ́даша смы́слити, я́ко отемнѣ́ша о́чи и́хъ, є́же ви́дѣти и разумѣ́ти се́рдцемъ свои́мъ.

¹⁹

And one has not considered in his mind, nor known in his understanding, that he has burnt up half of it in the fire, and baked loaves on the coals thereof and has roasted and eaten flesh, and of the rest of it he has made an abomination, and they worship it.

¹⁹

И не помы́сли въ души́ своє́й, ни увѣ́дѣ смышле́ніємъ, я́ко по́лъ єго́ сожже́ огне́мъ, и испече́ на у́глієхъ єго́ хлѣ́бы, и испе́къ мяса́ снѣде́, и оста́вшеє єго́ въ ме́рзость сотвори́, и покланя́ются єму́.

²⁰

Know thou that their heart is ashes, and they err, and no one is able to deliver his soul: see, ye will not say, There is a lie in my right hand.

²⁰

Увѣ́ждь, я́ко пе́пелъ є́сть се́рдце и́хъ, и прельща́ются, и ни єди́нъ мо́жетъ души́ своєя́ изба́вити: ви́дите, не рцы́те, я́ко лжа́ въ десни́цѣ моє́й.

²¹

Remember these things, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant; I have formed thee to be my servant: and do thou, Israel, not forget me.

²¹

Помяни́ сія́, Іа́кове и Ізра́илю, я́ко ра́бъ мо́й єси́ ты́, сотвори́хъ тя́ раба́ моєго́, и ты́, Ізра́илю, не забыва́й мене́.

²²

For behold, I have blotted out as a cloud thy transgressions, and thy sin as darkness: turn to me, and I will redeem thee.

²²

Се́ бо, отъя́хъ я́ко о́блакъ беззако́нія твоя́ и я́ко примра́къ грѣхи́ твоя́: обрати́ся ко мнѣ́, и изба́влю тя́.

²³

Rejoice, ye heavens; for God has had mercy upon Israel: sound the trumpet, ye foundations of the earth: ye mountains, shout with joy, ye hills, and all the trees therein: for God has redeemed Jacob, and Israel shall be glorified.

²³

Возвесели́теся, небеса́, я́ко поми́лова Бо́гъ Ізра́иля: воструби́те, основа́нія земна́я, возопі́йте, го́ры, весе́ліє, хо́лми и вся́ древеса́, я́же на ни́хъ: я́ко изба́ви Бо́гъ Іа́кова, и Ізра́иль просла́вится.

²⁴

Thus saith the Lord that redeems thee, and who formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that performs all things: I stretched out the heaven alone, and established the earth.

²⁴

Си́це глаго́летъ Госпо́дь избавля́яй тя́ и созда́вый тя́ от чре́ва: а́зъ Госпо́дь соверша́яй вся́, распростро́хъ не́бо єди́нъ и утверди́хъ зе́млю.

²⁵

Who else will frustrate the tokens of those that have divining spirits, and prophecies from the heart of man? turning the wise back, and making their counsel foolishness;

²⁵

Кто́ и́нъ разсы́плетъ зна́менія чревоволше́бниковъ и волшбы́ от се́рдца, отвраща́яй му́дрыя вспя́ть и совѣ́ты и́хъ обуя́яй,

²⁶

and confirming the word of his servant, and verifying the counsel of his messengers: who says to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Idumea, Ye shall be built, and her desert places shall spring forth.

²⁶

и уставля́я глаго́лъ раба́ своєго́, и совѣ́тъ вѣ́стниковъ свои́хъ и́стиненъ творя́й? глаго́ляй Ієрусали́му: насели́шися: и градо́мъ іуде́йскимъ: возградите́ся, и пусты́ни єго́ просія́ютъ,

²⁷

Who says to the deep, Thou shalt be dried up, and I will dry up the rivers.

²⁷

глаго́ляй бе́зднѣ: опустѣ́єши, и рѣ́ки твоя́ изсушу́,

²⁸

Who bids Cyrus be wise, and he shall perform all my will: who says to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built, and I will lay the foundation of my holy house.

²⁸

глаго́ляй ки́ру смы́слити, и вся́ во́ли моя́ сотвори́тъ: глаго́ляй Ієрусали́му: возгради́шися, и хра́мъ святы́й мо́й осную́.
