Hearken to me, ye islands; and attend, ye Gentiles; after a long time it shall come to pass, saith the Lord: from my mother's womb he has called my name:

¹

Послђшаите мене` ѓ%строви, и^ внима'ите страны`. вре'менемъ до'лгомъ ста'виTся, гл~етъ г~ь. эT чре'ва мт~ре мое^я нарече` и^мя мое`.

²

and he has made my mouth as a sharp sword, and he has hid me under the shadow of his hand; he has made me as a choice shaft, and he has hid me in his quiver;

²

и^ положи ё^ста` моя` ја%ко ме'чь ѓ%стръ. и^ поD кровомъ рђки` свое^я съкры` м^я. и^ положи м^я ја%ко стрњлђ и^ꙁбра'ннђ, и^ в тђ'лњ свое^мъ съкры` м^я.

³

and said to me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, and in thee I will be glorified.

³

и^ реq м^и, ра'бъ мои е^си т^ы і^и^л~ю, и^ в тебњ просла'влюся”

⁴

Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have given my strength for vanity and for nothing: therefore is my judgment with the Lord, and my labour before my God.

⁴

А$ꙁ# же реко'хъ, вът#ще` трђди'х#ся и^ всђе, и^ ни в чесо'мъже да'хъ крњ'пость мою. сего ради сђ'дъ мои прDе гм~ъ, и^ трђ'дъ мои прDе бм~ъ мои^мъ”

⁵

And now, thus saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his own servant, to gather Jacob to him and Israel. I shall be gathered and glorified before the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.

⁵

И$ нн~њ та'ко гл~етъ г~ь, съꙁда'выи м^я эT чре'ва раба` себњ`, ја%ко събра'ти і^а'кова, і^и^л~я к немђ съберђ. и^ просла'влюся преD гм~ъ, и^ б~ъ мои бђдетъ мн^њ крњ'пость”

⁶

And he said to me, It is a great thing for thee to be called my servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to recover the dispersion of Israel: behold, I have given thee for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end of the earth.

⁶

И$ реq м^и, ве'лїе т^и е^сть ја%ко прозватися рабђ` мое^мђ, ја%ко въста'вити племена і^а'ковля, и^ ѓ^стан#ки і^и^л~вы ѓ^брати'ти” Се^ да'хъ т^я въ ꙁавTњ ро'домъ и^, въ свњтъ ја^ꙁы'комъ, ја%ко бы'ти тебњ сп~сђ да'же до конца` ꙁемли`”

⁷

Thus saith the Lord that delivered thee, the God of Israel, Sanctify him that despises his life, him that is abhorred by the nations that are the servants of princes: kings shall behold him, and princes shall arise, and shall worship him, for the Lord's sake: for the Holy One of Israel is faithful, and I have chosen thee.

⁷

Та'ко гл~етъ г~ь, и^ꙁба'вивыи т^я б~ъ і^и^л~евъ. ѓ^ст~ите хђля'щаго дш~ђ е^го, мерзя'щаго по јазы'коX, рабXњ кня'ж#скиX. цр~їе ё%ꙁряT и&, и^ въстанTђ кн~ѕи, и^ покло'няTся е^мђ г~а ради. ја%ко вњренъ е^сть ст~ыи і^и^л~евъ і^ и^ꙁбра'выи т^я”

⁸

Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I succoured thee: and I have formed thee, and given thee for a covenant of the nations, to establish the earth, and to cause to inherit the desert heritages:

⁸

Та'ко гл~етъ г~ь, въ вре'мя прїя'тно послђшаX тебе`, и^ въ дн~ь сп~сенїя помогоX т^и. и^ съᲄвориX т^я, и^ даX т^я въ ꙁавTњ вњчныи стра'наM. ја%ко ё^стро'ити ꙁеMлю, и^ наслњди'ти наслњдїе пђстыня.

⁹

saying to them that are in bonds, Go forth; and bidding them that are in darkness shew themselves. They shall be fed in all the ways, and in all the paths shall be their pasture.

⁹

гл~юще ёZникоM и^ꙁы'идњте, и^же вᲆ тмᲇ эTкрыитеся. на всXњ пђтеX напасђтся, и^ на всњхъ стеѕяX па'житъ иX.

¹⁰

They shall not hunger, neither shall they thirst; neither shall the heat nor the sun smite them; but he that has mercy on them shall comfort them, and by fountains of waters shall he lead them.

¹⁰

не въꙁа'лчюT ни въжажTдђ, ни пораꙁиT и^хъ зно'и, н^и слн~це” Но ми'лђя и^хъ ё^тњшит#, и^ скво'ꙁњ и^сто'чники воDныя проведе'тъ я&.

¹¹

And I will make every mountain a way, and every path a pasture to them.

¹¹

и^ положђ` вся'кђ горђ в# пђть, и^ вся'кђ стеѕю на па'ствђ иM”

¹²

Behold, these shall come from far: and these from the north and the west, and others from the land of the Persians.

¹²

Се^ сїи и^ꙁдале'ча прїидTђ, сїи эT сњ'вера, а^ ѓ'нїи эT мо'ря, а^ дрђѕїи эT ꙁемля` пе'рски”

¹³

Rejoice, ye heavens; and let the earth be glad: let the mountains break forth with joy; for the Lord has had mercy on his people, and has comforted the lowly ones of his people.

¹³

Ра'дђитеся нб~са, и^ весели'ся ꙁемля. да эTвръзђтъ го'ры весе'лїе и^ хо'лми ра'дость, ја%ко поми'лова б~ъ лю'ди своя, и^ смире'нныя лю'дїи свои^хъ ё^тњшитъ”

¹⁴

But Sion said, The Lord has forsaken me, and, The Lord has forgotten me.

¹⁴

Рече же сїѓ'нъ, ѓ^ста'ви м^я г~ь, и^ б~ъ ꙁабы` м^я.

¹⁵

Will a woman forget her child, so as not to have compassion upon the offspring of her womb? but if a woman should even forget these, yet I will not forget thee, saith the Lord.

¹⁵

е^да` ꙁабђ'детъ мати ѓ^тро'ча свое, ја%ко не поми'ловати и^сча'дїя чре'ва свое^го. а^ще же и^ ꙁабђдетъ т^о жена`, н^о а^ꙁъ не ꙁабђ'дђ тебе` гл~етъ г~ь”

¹⁶

Behold, I have painted thy walls on my hands, and thou art continually before me.

¹⁶

Се^ в рђ'кђ мое^ю въписа'хъ гра'ды твоя`, и^ предо мно'ю е^си прsно.

¹⁷

And thou shalt soon be built by those by whom thou wert destroyed, and they that made thee desolate shall go forth of thee.

¹⁷

и^ въскорњ вᲆз#гради'шися и^миy раꙁори'ся. и^ потребив#шеи т^я и^зы'идђтъ и^с тебе`”

¹⁸

Lift up thine eyes round about, and look on them all; behold, they are gathered together, and are come to thee. As I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt clothe thyself with them all as with an ornament, and put them on as a bride her attire.

¹⁸

Въз#дви'гни ѓ%крsтъ ѓ%чи твои и^ ви'ждь вся`, с^е събра'шася и^ прїидо'ша к тебњ`” Жи'въ а^ꙁъ гл~етъ г~ь, ја%ко вся я& ѓ^блече'ши. и^ въꙁложи'ши на' ня ја%ко ё^тва'рᲆ невњ'стьскђ. ја%ко

¹⁹

For thy desert and marred and ruined places shall now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that devoured thee shall be removed far from thee.

¹⁹

и^ пђста'а твоя` и^ расы'паная и^ паDшаася, нн~њ ё^тњснњ'ютъ эT всели'вшихся. и^ ё^даляTся эT тебе` смири'вшеи т^я”

²⁰

For thy sons whom thou hast lost shall say in thine ears, The place is too narrow for me: make room for me that I may dwell.

²⁰

Рекђтъ б^о въ ё%ши твои сн~ове твои` и^хъже погђби`, тњ'сно намъ е^сть мњ'сто, сътвори м^и мњ'сто да ся вселю`”

²¹

And thou shalt say in thine heart, Who has begotten me these? whereas I was childless, and a widow; but who has brought up these for me? and I was left alone; but whence came these to me?

²¹

И$ рече'ши въ срDцы свое^мъ, кт^о м^и породи я&, кт^о л^и я& въскорми мн^њ, а^ꙁъ б^о без#ча'дъ, и^ въ вдо'в#ствњ ѓ^ста'хъ е^ді'нъ. сїи же мнњ` гд^њ бы'ша.

²²

Thus saith the Lord, even the Lord, Behold, I lift up mine hand to the nations, and I will lift up my signal to the islands: and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and shall bear thy daughters on their shoulders.

²²

та'ко гл~етъ г~ь” Се^ въꙁдви'гнђ въ страны рђ'кђ мою, и^ въ ѓ%стровы ꙁна'менїе мое. и^ прїимђтъ сн~ы твоя в ло'нњ, и^ дще'ри твоя на пле'щђ во'ꙁмђтъ.

²³

And kings shall be thy nursing-fathers, and their princesses thy nurses, they shall bow down to thee on the face of the earth, and shall lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and they that wait on me shall not be ashamed.

²³

и^ бђдTђ цр~е дои^теле твои, и^ княги'ня коръми'теле твои. и^ до ꙁемля` ни'цы покло'няT ти ся, и^ пра'хъ но'гђ твое^ю ѓ^бли'жђтъ. и^ ё^вњ'си ја%ко а^ꙁъ г~ь б~ъ и^ не посрамяTся ё^пова'ющеи на' мя”

²⁴

Will any one take spoils from a giant? and if one should take a man captive unjustly, shall he be delivered?

²⁴

Є$да во'ꙁмеT кто эT щђ'да плњн#, и^л^и а^ще кт^о плњниT непра'веDнњ сп~сет# л^и ся.

²⁵

For thus saith the Lord, If one should take a giant captive, he shall take spoils, and he who takes them from a mighty man shall be delivered: for I will plead thy cause, and I will deliver thy children.

²⁵

зане` та'ко гл~етъ г~ь” А$ще кт^о плњниT щђда да по'имеT плњнᲆ, прїемля же эT крњ'пкаго сп~сеT л^и ся” А$з# же прю` твою раз#сђжю, и^ а'ꙁъ сн~ы твоя` и^ꙁба'влю.

²⁶

And they that afflicted thee shall eat their own flesh; and they shall drink their own blood as new wine, and shall be drunken: and all flesh shall perceive that I am the Lord that delivers thee, and that upholds the strength of Jacob.

²⁶

и^ ꙁазли'вшїи тебе` и^з#ја^дяT пло'ть свою`, і^ и^спїю'тᲆ ја%ко вино` но'во кро'вь свою, и^ ё^пїю'тся. и^ ё^вᲇ'сть вся'ка плоT, ја%ко а^ꙁᲆ и^ꙁба'вивыи т^я, и^ поDемля'и крњ'пость і^а'ковлю”
