Isaiah 1
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
1 The vision of Isaias the son of Amos I which he saw concerning Juda and Jerusalem in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda.
2 Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath spoken. I have brought up children, and exalted them: but they have despised me.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel hath not known me, and my people hath not understood.
4 Woe to the sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a wicked seed, ungracious children: they have forsaken the Lord, they have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel, they are gone away backwards.
5 For what shall I strike you any more, you that increase transgression? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart is sad.
6 From the sole of the foot unto the top of the head, there is no soundness therein: wounds and bruises and swelling sores: they are not bound up, nor dressed, nor fomented with oil.
7 Your land is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire: your country strangers devour before your face, and it shall be desolate as when wasted by enemies.
8 And the daughter of Sion shall be left as a covert in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as a city that is laid waste.
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left us seed, we had been as Sodom, and we should have been like to Gomorrha.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrha.
11 To what purpose do you offer me the multitude of your victims, saith the Lord? I am full, I desire not holocausts of rams, and fat of fatlings, and blood of calves, and lambs, and buck goats.
12 When you came to appear before me, who required these things at your hands, that you should walk in my courts?
13 Offer sacrifice no more in vain: incense is an abomination to me. The new moons, and the sabbaths, and other festivals I will not abide, your assemblies are wicked.
14 My soul hateth your new moons, and your solemnities: they are become troublesome to me, I am weary of bearing them.
15 And when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away my eyes from you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear: for your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,
17 Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for the fatherless, defend the widow.
18 And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool.
19 If you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall eat the good things of the land.
20 But if you will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall devour you because the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
21 How is the faithful city, that was full of judgment, become a harlot? justice dwelt in it, but now murderers.
22 Thy silver is turned into dross: thy wine is mingled with water.
23 Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves: they all love bribes, the run after rewards. They judge not for the fatherless: and the widow's cometh not in to them.
24 Therefore saith the Lord the God of hosts, the mighty one of Israel: Ah! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be revenged of my enemies.
25 And I will turn my hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dress, and I will take away all thy tin.
26 And I will restore thy judges as they were before, and thy counsellors as of old. After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a faithful city.
27 Sion shall be redeemed in judgment, and they shall bring her back in justice.
28 And he shall destroy the wicked, and the sinners together: and they that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be confounded for the idols, to which they have sacrificed: and you shall be ashamed of the gardens which you have chosen.
30 When you shall be as an oak with the leaves falling off, and as a garden without water.
31 And your strength shall be as the ashes of tow, and your work as a spark: and both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench it.
Исая 1
Библия, ревизирано издание
Божието обвинение срещу Израилевия народ
1 (A)Видението на Амосовия син Исайя, което видя за Юдея и Йерусалим в дните на Юдейските царе Озия, Йотам, Ахаз и Езекия:
2 (B)Чуйте, небеса, и дай ухо, земльо.
Защото Господ е говорил, като е казал:
Деца отхраних и възпитах;
но те се разбунтуваха против Мене.
3 (C)Волът познава стопанина си
и оселът – яслите на господаря си;
но Израил не знае,
народът Ми не разсъждава.
4 (D)Уви, грешни народе, народ, натоварен с беззаконие,
роде на злодеи, деца, които постъпвате разтленно!
Изоставиха Господа,
презряха Святия Израилев,
отделиха се и се върнаха назад.
5 (E)Защо да бъдете още бити, че се бунтувате повече и повече?
Вече всяка глава е болна и всяко сърце – изнемощяло;
6 (F)от стъпалото на крака дори до главата
няма в някое тяло здраво място,
а струпеи и синини, и гноясали рани,
които не са почистени, нито превързани,
нито омекчени с масло.
7 (G)Страната ви е пуста, градовете ви – изгорени с огън;
земята ви – чужденци я пояждат пред очите ви,
и тя е пуста като разорена от чужденци.
8 (H)И сионовата дъщеря е оставена като колиба в лозе,
като навес в градина с краставици,
като обсаден град.
9 (I)Ако Господ на Силите не беше ни оставил малък остатък,
като Содом бихме станали, на Гомор бихме заприличали.
10 (J)Чуйте словото Господне, князе содомски;
слушайте поуката на нашия Бог, народе гоморски.
11 (K)Защо Ми е големият брой на жертвите ви? Господ казва:
Сит съм от всеизгаряне на овни
и от тлъстина на угоени;
и не Ми е угодна кръв от телета
или от агнета, или от едри козли.
12 (L)Когато идвате да се явявате пред Мене,
кой е поискал от вас[a] това, да тъпчете дворовете Ми?
13 (M)Не принасяйте вече суетни приноси;
тамянът е мерзост за Мене,
също и новолунията, и съботите, и свикването на събранията;
не мога да търпя беззаконието заедно с[b] тържественото събрание.
14 (N)Душата Ми мрази новолунията ви и празниците ви;
досада са за Мене; дотегна Ми да ги търпя.
15 (O)И когато простирате ръцете си,
ще крия очите Си от вас;
даже когато принасяте много молитви, не искам да слушам;
ръцете ви са пълни с кръв.
16 (P)Измийте се, очистете се,
отстранете от очите Ми злото на делата си,
престанете да вършите зло.
17 (Q)Научете се да правите добро,
настоявайте за правосъдие, поправяйте угнетителя,
отсъждайте право на сирачето, застъпвайте се за вдовицата.
18 (R)Елате сега, за да разискваме, казва Господ;
ако греховете ви са като мораво,
ще станат бели като сняг;
ако са румени като червено,
ще станат като бяла въ̀лна.
19 Ако слушате на драго сърце,
ще ядете благото на земята;
20 (S)но ако откажете и се разбунтувате,
ще бъдете изпосечени с меч,
защото устата Господни изговориха това.
21 (T)Как стана блудница верният град,
който беше пълен с правосъдие!
Правда обитаваше в него, а сега – убийци.
22 (U)Среброто ти стана шлак;
виното ти се смеси с вода.
23 (V)Твоите князе са бунтовници и съучастници на крадци;
всеки от тях обича подкупи и тича след възнаграждения;
те не осъждат право сирачето,
нито идва при тях делото на вдовицата.
24 (W)Затова, казва Господ, Йехова на Силите, Всемогъщият Израилев:
Ах! Ще се облекча от противниците Си
и ще отдам възмездие на враговете Си;
25 (X)и пак ще сложа ръката Си върху теб
и ще очистя шлака ти като с луга,
и ще отделя от тебе всеки примес;
26 (Y)и ще възстановя съдиите ти, както по-рано,
и съветниците ти, както отначало;
след което ще се наречеш
Град на правда, Верен град;
27 Сион ще се изкупи чрез правосъдие
и тези, които се върнат в него, чрез правда.
28 (Z)А беззаконниците и грешниците ще бъдат съкрушени заедно
и тези, които са изоставили Господа, ще загинат.
29 (AA)Защото ще се посрамят поради дъбовете, които пожелахте;
и ще се смутите поради градините, които избрахте;
30 понеже ще стана като дъб, чиито листа вехнат,
и като градина, която няма вода.
31 (AB)И силният ще бъде като кълчища,
а делото му – като искра;
и то ще изгори заедно с него,
без да има кой да ги гаси.
Isaiah 1
Tree of Life Version
1 The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah:
A Nation Sick With Sin
2 Listen! Heavens, and hear, earth,
for Adonai has spoken:
“Sons I have raised and brought up,
but they have rebelled against Me.
3 The ox knows its owner,
and the donkey its manger,
but Israel does not know,
My people do not understand.”
4 Oy, a sinful nation,
a people weighed down with iniquity,
offspring of evildoers,
sons dealing corruptly!
They have abandoned Adonai.
They have despised Israel’s Holy One.
They have turned backwards.
5 Where will you be struck again,
as you stray away more and more?
The whole head is sick,
the whole heart faint.
6 From the foot to the head
there is no soundness.
Wounds, bruises and raw sores:
not pressed, nor bandaged,
nor softened with oil.
7 Your land is desolate;
your cities are burned with fire;
your fields,
strangers devour it in your presence—
a desolation,
overthrown by strangers.
8 So the Daughter of Zion is left
as a sukkah in a vineyard,
as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers,
as a besieged city.
9 Unless Adonai-Tzva’ot
had left us a small remnant,[a]
we would have been as Sodom,
we would have been as Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of Adonai,
you rulers of Sodom!
Give ear to the Torah of our God,
you people of Gomorrah!
Worthless Offerings
11 “For what is it to Me—the multitude of your sacrifices?”
says Adonai.
“I am full of burnt offerings of rams
and fat of fed animals.
I have no delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs or he-goats.
12 When you come to appear before Me,
who has required this at your hand—
trampling My courts?
13 Bring no more worthless offerings!
Incense is an abomination to Me.
New Moon and Shabbat, the calling of convocations
—I cannot endure it—
iniquity with solemn assembly.
14 Your New Moons and your Festivals
My soul hates!
They are a burden to Me.
I am weary to bear them.
15 When you spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you.
When you multiply prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood!”
Scarlet Sins as Snow
16 “Wash and make yourselves clean.
Put away the evil of your deeds
from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil.
17 Learn to do good,
seek justice, relieve the oppressed,
defend the orphan,
plead for the widow.”
18 “Come now, let us reason together,”
says Adonai.
“Though your sins be like scarlet,
they will be as white as snow.
Though they be red like crimson,
they will become like wool.
19 If you are willing and obey,
you will eat the good of the land.
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
you will be devoured with the sword.”
For the mouth of Adonai has spoken.
Restore the Faithful City
21 How the Faithful City became a harlot!
She once was full of justice,
righteousness lodged in her—
but now murderers!
22 Your silver has become dross,
your wine diluted by water.
23 Your princes are rebellious
and friends with thieves.
Everyone loves a bribe
and chases after rewards.
They do not defend the orphan,
nor does a widow’s case come to them.
24 Therefore says the Lord Adonai-Tzva’ot,
the Mighty One of Israel:
“Oy! I will get relief from My foes
and avenge Myself on My enemies.
25 Then I will turn My hand on you,
purge away your dross,
and remove all your alloy.
26 I will restore your judges as at first,
your counselors as at the start.
Afterward you will be called
City of Righteousness, Faithful City.
27 Zion will be redeemed with justice,
her repentant with righteousness.”
28 But there will be a crushing of transgressors and sinners together.
Forsaking Adonai, they will be consumed.
29 For they will be ashamed of the sacred oaks
that you desired,
and embarrassed because of the gardens
that you have chosen.
30 For you will be like an oak of withering leaf,
like a garden that has no water.
31 So the strong will become tinder
and his work like a spark—
both will burn together,
and no one will quench them.
