Книга Пророка Исаии

1 Видение Исаии, сына Амосова, которое он видел о Иудее и Иерусалиме, во дни Озии, Иоафама, Ахаза, Езекии – царей Иудейских. 2 Слушайте, небеса, и внимай, земля, потому что Господь говорит: Я воспитал и возвысил сыновей, а они возмутились против Меня. 3 Вол знает владетеля своего, и осел – ясли господина своего; а Израиль не знает [Меня], народ Мой не разумеет. 4 Увы, народ грешный, народ обремененный беззакониями, племя злодеев, сыны погибельные! Оставили Господа, презрели Святаго Израилева, – повернулись назад. 5 Во что вас бить еще, продолжающие свое упорство? Вся голова в язвах, и все сердце исчахло. 6 От подошвы ноги до темени головы нет у него здорового места: язвы, пятна, гноящиеся раны, неочищенные и необвязанные и не смягченные елеем. 7 Земля ваша опустошена; города ваши сожжены огнем; поля ваши в ваших глазах съедают чужие; все опустело, как после разорения чужими. 8 И осталась дщерь Сиона, как шатер в винограднике, как шалаш в огороде, как осажденный город. 9 Если бы Господь Саваоф не оставил нам небольшого остатка, то мы были бы то же, что Содом, уподобились бы Гоморре. 10 Слушайте слово Господне, князья Содомские; внимай закону Бога нашего, народ Гоморрский! 11 К чему Мне множество жертв ваших? говорит Господь. Я пресыщен всесожжениями овнов и туком откормленного скота, и крови тельцов и агнцев и козлов не хочу. 12 Когда вы приходите являться пред лице Мое, кто требует от вас, чтобы вы топтали дворы Мои? 13 Не носите больше даров тщетных: курение отвратительно для Меня; новомесячий и суббот, праздничных собраний не могу терпеть: беззаконие – и празднование! 14 Новомесячия ваши и праздники ваши ненавидит душа Моя: они бремя для Меня; Мне тяжело нести их. 15 И когда вы простираете руки ваши, Я закрываю от вас очи Мои; и когда вы умножаете моления ваши, Я не слышу: ваши руки полны крови. 16 Омойтесь, очиститесь; удалите злые деяния ваши от очей Моих; перестаньте делать зло; 17 научитесь делать добро, ищите правды, спасайте угнетенного, защищайте сироту, вступайтесь за вдову. 18 Тогда придите – и рассудим, говорит Господь. Если будут грехи ваши, как багряное, – как снег убелю; если будут красны, как пурпур, – как волну убелю. 19 Если захотите и послушаетесь, то будете вкушать блага земли; 20 если же отречетесь и будете упорствовать, то меч пожрет вас: ибо уста Господни говорят. 21 Как сделалась блудницею верная столица, исполненная правосудия! Правда обитала в ней, а теперь – убийцы. 22 Серебро твое стало изгарью, вино твое испорчено водою; 23 князья твои – законопреступники и сообщники воров; все они любят подарки и гоняются за мздою; не защищают сироты, и дело вдовы не доходит до них. 24 Посему говорит Господь, Господь Саваоф, Сильный Израилев: о, удовлетворю Я Себя над противниками Моими и отмщу врагам Моим! 25 И обращу на тебя руку Мою и, как в щелочи, очищу с тебя примесь, и отделю от тебя все свинцовое; 26 и опять буду поставлять тебе судей, как прежде, и советников, как вначале; тогда будут говорить о тебе: "город правды, столица верная". 27 Сион спасется правосудием, и обратившиеся [сыны] его – правдою; 28 всем же отступникам и грешникам – погибель, и оставившие Господа истребятся. 29 Они будут постыжены за дубравы, которые столь вожделенны для вас, и посрамлены за сады, которые вы избрали себе; 30 ибо вы будете, как дуб, [которого] лист опал, и как сад, в котором нет воды. 31 И сильный будет отрепьем, и дело его – искрою; и будут гореть вместе, – и никто не потушит.

1 Here is the vision about Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah saw. It came to him when Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah were ruling. They were kings of Judah. Isaiah was the son of Amoz.

The nation refuses to obey the Lord

2 Listen to me, you heavens! Pay attention to me, earth! The LORD has said, ‘I raised children. I brought them up. But they have refused to obey me. 3 The ox knows its master. The donkey knows where its owner feeds it. But Israel does not know me. My people do not understand me.’ 4 How terrible it will be for this sinful nation! They are loaded down with guilt. They are people who do nothing but evil. They are children who are always sinning. They have deserted the LORD. They have turned against the Holy One of Israel. They have turned their backs on him. 5 Israel, why do you want to be beaten all the time? Why do you always refuse to obey the LORD? Your head is covered with wounds. Your whole heart is weak. 6 There isn’t a healthy spot on your body. You are not healthy from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head. You have nothing but wounds, cuts and open sores. They haven’t been cleaned up or bandaged or treated with olive oil. 7 Your country has been deserted. Your cities have been burned down. The food from your fields is being eaten up by outsiders. They are doing it right in front of you. Your land has been completely destroyed. It looks as if strangers have taken it over. 8 The city of Zion is left like a shed where someone stands guard in a vineyard. It is left like a hut in a cucumber field. It’s like a city being attacked. 9 The LORD who rules over all has let some people live through that time of trouble. If he hadn’t, we would have become like Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah. 10 Rulers of Sodom, hear the LORD’s message. People of Gomorrah, listen to the instruction of our God. 11 ‘Do you think I need any more of your sacrifices?’ asks the LORD. ‘I have more than enough of your burnt offerings. I have more than enough of rams and the fat of your fattest animals. I do not find any pleasure in the blood of your bulls, lambs and goats. 12 Who asked you to bring all these animals when you come to worship me? Who asked you and your animals to walk all over my courtyards? 13 Stop bringing offerings that do not mean anything to me! I hate your incense. I can’t stand your worthless gatherings. I can’t stand the way you celebrate your New Moon feasts, Sabbath days and special services. 14 Your New Moon feasts and your other appointed feasts I hate with my whole being. They have become a heavy load to me. I am tired of carrying it. 15 You might spread out your hands towards me when you pray. But I do not look at you. You might even offer many prayers. But I am not listening to them. Your hands are covered with the blood of the people you have murdered. 16 So wash and make yourselves clean. Get your evil actions out of my sight! Stop doing what is wrong! 17 Learn to do what is right! Treat people fairly. Help those who are treated badly. Stand up in court for children whose fathers have died. And do the same thing for widows. 18 ‘Come. Let us settle this matter,’ says the LORD. ‘Even though your sins are bright red, they will be as white as snow. Even though they are deep red, they will be white like wool. 19 But you have to be willing to change and obey me. If you are, you will eat the good things that grow on the land. 20 But if you are not willing to obey me, you will be killed by swords.’ The LORD has spoken. 21 See how the faithful city of Jerusalem has become like a prostitute! Once it was full of people who treated others fairly. Those who did what was right used to live in it. But now murderers live there! 22 Jerusalem, your silver isn’t pure anymore. Your best wine has been made weak with water. 23 Your rulers refuse to obey the LORD. They join forces with robbers. All of them love to accept money from those who want special favours. They are always looking for gifts from other people. They don’t stand up in court for children whose fathers have died. They don’t do it for widows either. 24 The Lord is the Mighty One of Israel. The LORD who rules over all announces, ‘Israel, you have become my enemies. I will act against you in my anger. I will pay you back for what you have done. 25 I will turn my power against you. I will make you completely “clean”. I will remove everything that is not pure. 26 I will give you leaders like the ones you had long ago. I will give you rulers like those you had at the beginning. Then you will be called the City That Does What Is Right. You will also be called the Faithful City.’ 27 Zion will be saved when justice is done. Those who are sorry for their sins will be saved when what is right is done. 28 But sinners and those who refuse to obey the LORD will be destroyed. And those who desert the LORD will die. 29 ‘Israel, you take delight in worshipping among the sacred oak trees. You will be full of shame for doing that. You have chosen to worship in the sacred gardens. You will be dishonoured for doing that. 30 You will be like an oak tree whose leaves are dying. You will be like a garden that doesn’t have any water. 31 Your strongest men will become like dry pieces of wood. Their worship of other gods will be the spark that lights the fire. Everything will be burned. No one will be there to put the fire out.’
