Исаия 1

Библия, синодално издание

1 Видение на Исаия, син Амосов, което видя за Иудея и Иерусалим, в дните на иудейските царе Озия, Иоатама, Ахаза и Езекия.

²^(A)Чуйте, небеса, и слушай, земьо, защото Господ говори: Аз възпитах и въздигнах синове, а те се побуниха против Мене.

³^(B)Волът познава стопанина си, и оселът – яслите на господаря си; а Израил (Ме) не познава, Моят народ не разбира.

⁴^(C)Уви, народе грешни, народ отрупан с беззакония, племе от злодейци, синове пагубни! Оставихте Господа, презряхте Светия Израилев, – върнахте се назад.

⁵^(D)Де да ви бият още вас, които все още упорствувате? Цяла глава е в рани, и цяло сърце е изнемогнало.

⁶^(E)От пети до глава няма у тоя народ здраво място: струпи, синяци, гнойни рани, неочистени, непревързани и неомекчени с елей.

⁷^(F)Земята ви опустошена, градовете ви с огън изгорени; нивите ви пред ваши очи чужденци пояждат; всичко е запустяло – като след разорение от чужденци.

⁸И остана дъщерята Сионова като колиба в лозе, като сенница в градина, като обсаден град.

⁹^(G)Да не беше ни Господ Саваот оставил малък остатък, щяхме да бъдем също като Содом, щяхме да заприличаме на Гомора.

¹⁰Чуйте словото Господне, князе содомски, вслушай се в закона на нашия Бог, народе гоморски!

¹¹^(H)За какво Ми са многото ваши жертви? казва Господ. Преситен съм на всесъжения от овни и на тлъстина от угоен добитък; и кръв от телета, от агнета и козли не искам.

¹²^(I)Кога дохождате да се явите пред лицето Ми, кой ви иска да тъпчете дворите Ми?

¹³^(J)Не принасяйте вече суетни дарове: каденето е отвратително за Мене; новомесечия, съботи и празнични събрания не мога да търпя: беззаконие – и празнуване!

¹⁴Душата Ми мрази вашите новомесечия и вашите празници: те са бреме за Мене, тежко Ми е да ги нося.

¹⁵^(K)И кога простирате ръце, Аз закривам от вас очите Си, и кога умножавате молбите си, Аз не слушам: ръцете ви са с кръв пълни.

¹⁶^(L)Умийте се, очистете се; махнете от очите Ми злите си деяния; престанете да правите зло;

¹⁷^(M)научете се да правите добро, търсете правда, избавяйте угнетен, защищавайте сирак, застъпяйте се за вдовица.

¹⁸^(N)Тогава дойдете – и ще отсъдим, казва Господ. Да бъдат греховете ви и като багрено, – като сняг ще избеля; да бъдат червени и като пурпур, – като вълна ще избеля.

¹⁹^(O)Ако поискате и послушате, ще ядете благата земни;

²⁰ако пък се отречете и упорствувате, меч ще ви изтреби: защото устата Господни говорят.

²¹^(P)Как вярната, изпълнена с правосъдие столица стана блудница! В нея правда обитаваше, а сега – убийци.

²²^(Q)Среброто ти стана на сгурия, виното ти е с вода смесено;

²³^(R)твоите князе са законопрестъпници и съучастници на крадци; те всички обичат подаръци и ламтят за награда; не закрилят сирак, и тъжба на вдовица не стига до тях.

²⁴^(S)Затова говори Господ, Господ Саваот, Силният Израилев: о, ще си оттуша над противниците Си и ще отмъстя на враговете Си!

²⁵^(T)и ще обърна против тебе ръката Си и като в луга ще очистя от тебе сместа и ще отделя от тебе всичко оловено;

²⁶^(U)и пак ще ти поставям съдии, както отпреди, и съветници, както изпървом; тогава ще говорят за тебе: град на правда, вярна столица.

²⁷Сион ще се спаси чрез правосъдие, и обърналите се негови синове – чрез правда;

²⁸^(V)а за всички отстъпници и грешници – гибел, и ония, които са оставили Господа, ще бъдат изтребени.

²⁹^(W)Те ще бъдат посрамени зарад дъбравите, тъй многожелани от вас, и ще се червят от срам зарад градините, които сте си избрали;

³⁰^(X)защото вие ще бъдете като дъб, чийто лист е опадал, и като градина, в която няма вода.

³¹^(Y)И силният ще бъде отрепка, а делото му – искра; и ще горят заедно, – и никой не ще угаси.

Isaiah 1

New King James Version

Judah Called to Repentance

1 The ^(A)vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the ^(B)days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

The Wickedness of Judah

²^(C)Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!
For the Lord has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children,
And they have rebelled against Me;
³^(D)The ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master’s ^[a]crib;
But Israel ^(E)does not know,
My people do not ^[b]consider.”

⁴Alas, sinful nation,
A people ^[c]laden with iniquity,
^(F)A ^[d]brood of evildoers,
Children who are corrupters!
They have forsaken the Lord,
They have provoked to anger
The Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away backward.

⁵^(G)Why should you be stricken again?
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
⁶From the sole of the foot even to the head,
There is no soundness in it,
But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores;
They have not been closed or bound up,
Or soothed with ointment.

⁷^(H)Your country is desolate,
Your cities are burned with fire;
Strangers devour your land in your presence;
And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
⁸So the daughter of Zion is left ^(I)as a ^[e]booth in a vineyard,
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
^(J)As a besieged city.
⁹^(K)Unless the Lord of hosts
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like ^(L)Sodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.

¹⁰Hear the word of the Lord,
You rulers ^(M)of Sodom;
Give ear to the law of our God,
You people of Gomorrah:
¹¹“To what purpose is the multitude of your ^(N)sacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.

¹²“When you come ^(O)to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
¹³Bring no more ^(P)futile^[f] sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and ^(Q)the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
¹⁴Your ^(R)New Moons and your ^(S)appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
¹⁵^(T)When you ^[g]spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
^(U)Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of ^[h]blood.

¹⁶“Wash^(V) yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
^(W)Cease to do evil,
¹⁷Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke ^[i]the oppressor;
^[j]Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.

¹⁸“Come now, and let us ^(X)reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
^(Y)They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
¹⁹If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
²⁰But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
^(Z)For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

The Degenerate City

²¹^(AA)How the faithful city has become a ^[k]harlot!
It was full of justice;
Righteousness lodged in it,
But now ^(AB)murderers.
²²^(AC)Your silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water.
²³^(AD)Your princes are rebellious,
And ^(AE)companions of thieves;
^(AF)Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards.
They ^(AG)do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.

²⁴Therefore the Lord says,
The Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel,
“Ah, ^(AH)I will ^[l]rid Myself of My adversaries,
And ^[m]take vengeance on My enemies.
²⁵I will turn My hand against you,
And ^(AI)thoroughly^[n] purge away your dross,
And take away all your alloy.
²⁶I will restore your judges ^(AJ)as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward ^(AK)you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.”

²⁷Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
And her ^[o]penitents with righteousness.
²⁸The ^(AL)destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together,
And those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
²⁹For ^[p]they shall be ashamed of the ^[q]terebinth trees
Which you have desired;
And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens
Which you have chosen.
³⁰For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades,
And as a garden that has no water.
³¹^(AM)The strong shall be as tinder,
And the work of it as a spark;
Both will burn together,
And no one shall ^(AN)quench them.

Isaiah 1

New International Version

1 The vision^(A) concerning Judah and Jerusalem^(B) that Isaiah son of Amoz saw^(C) during the reigns of Uzziah,^(D) Jotham,^(E) Ahaz^(F) and Hezekiah,^(G) kings of Judah.

A Rebellious Nation

²Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!^(H)
    For the Lord has spoken:^(I)
“I reared children^(J) and brought them up,
    but they have rebelled^(K) against me.
³The ox knows^(L) its master,
    the donkey its owner’s manger,^(M)
but Israel does not know,^(N)
    my people do not understand.^(O)”

⁴Woe to the sinful nation,
    a people whose guilt is great,^(P)
a brood of evildoers,^(Q)
    children given to corruption!^(R)
They have forsaken^(S) the Lord;
    they have spurned the Holy One^(T) of Israel
    and turned their backs^(U) on him.

⁵Why should you be beaten^(V) anymore?
    Why do you persist^(W) in rebellion?^(X)
Your whole head is injured,
    your whole heart^(Y) afflicted.^(Z)
⁶From the sole of your foot to the top of your head^(AA)
    there is no soundness^(AB)—
only wounds and welts^(AC)
    and open sores,
not cleansed or bandaged^(AD)
    or soothed with olive oil.^(AE)

⁷Your country is desolate,^(AF)
    your cities burned with fire;^(AG)
your fields are being stripped by foreigners^(AH)
    right before you,
    laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.^(AI)
⁸Daughter Zion^(AJ) is left^(AK)
    like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut^(AL) in a cucumber field,
    like a city under siege.
⁹Unless the Lord Almighty
    had left us some survivors,^(AM)
we would have become like Sodom,
    we would have been like Gomorrah.^(AN)

¹⁰Hear the word of the Lord,^(AO)
    you rulers of Sodom;^(AP)
listen to the instruction^(AQ) of our God,
    you people of Gomorrah!^(AR)
¹¹“The multitude of your sacrifices—
    what are they to me?” says the Lord.
“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
    of rams and the fat of fattened animals;^(AS)
I have no pleasure^(AT)
    in the blood of bulls^(AU) and lambs and goats.^(AV)
¹²When you come to appear before me,
    who has asked this of you,^(AW)
    this trampling of my courts?
¹³Stop bringing meaningless offerings!^(AX)
    Your incense^(AY) is detestable^(AZ) to me.
New Moons,^(BA) Sabbaths and convocations^(BB)—
    I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
¹⁴Your New Moon^(BC) feasts and your appointed festivals^(BD)
    I hate with all my being.^(BE)
They have become a burden to me;^(BF)
    I am weary^(BG) of bearing them.
¹⁵When you spread out your hands^(BH) in prayer,
    I hide^(BI) my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
    I am not listening.^(BJ)

Your hands^(BK) are full of blood!^(BL)

¹⁶Wash^(BM) and make yourselves clean.
    Take your evil deeds out of my sight;^(BN)
    stop doing wrong.^(BO)
¹⁷Learn to do right;^(BP) seek justice.^(BQ)
    Defend the oppressed.^[a]^(BR)
Take up the cause of the fatherless;^(BS)
    plead the case of the widow.^(BT)

¹⁸“Come now, let us settle the matter,”^(BU)
    says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
    they shall be as white as snow;^(BV)
though they are red as crimson,
    they shall be like wool.^(BW)
¹⁹If you are willing and obedient,^(BX)
    you will eat the good things of the land;^(BY)
²⁰but if you resist and rebel,^(BZ)
    you will be devoured by the sword.”^(CA)
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.^(CB)

²¹See how the faithful city
    has become a prostitute!^(CC)
She once was full of justice;
    righteousness^(CD) used to dwell in her—
    but now murderers!^(CE)
²²Your silver has become dross,^(CF)
    your choice wine is diluted with water.
²³Your rulers are rebels,^(CG)
    partners with thieves;^(CH)
they all love bribes^(CI)
    and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
    the widow’s case does not come before them.^(CJ)

²⁴Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    the Mighty One^(CK) of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
    and avenge^(CL) myself on my enemies.^(CM)
²⁵I will turn my hand against you;^[b]^(CN)
    I will thoroughly purge^(CO) away your dross^(CP)
    and remove all your impurities.^(CQ)
²⁶I will restore your leaders as in days of old,^(CR)
    your rulers as at the beginning.
Afterward you will be called^(CS)
    the City of Righteousness,^(CT)
    the Faithful City.^(CU)”

²⁷Zion will be delivered with justice,
her penitent^(CV) ones with righteousness.^(CW)
²⁸But rebels and sinners^(CX) will both be broken,
and those who forsake^(CY) the Lord will perish.^(CZ)

²⁹“You will be ashamed^(DA) because of the sacred oaks^(DB)
    in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens^(DC)
    that you have chosen.
³⁰You will be like an oak with fading leaves,^(DD)
    like a garden without water.
³¹The mighty man will become tinder
    and his work a spark;
both will burn together,
    with no one to quench the fire.^(DE)”
