Исаия 66
New Russian Translation
Суд, утешение и надежда
66 Так говорит Господь:
– Небеса – престол Мой,
и земля – подножие ног Моих!
Какой вы можете построить Мне дом?
Где может быть место отдыха для Меня?
2 Все это сотворено Моей рукой,
и так все это появилось[a], –
возвещает Господь. –
Вот кем Я дорожу:
тем, кто кроток и сокрушен духом
и трепещет перед словом Моим.
3 Режущий в жертву быка –
как убивающий человека;
приносящий в жертву ягненка –
как ломающий шею псу;
представляющий хлебное приношение –
как приносящий свиную кровь[b],
и приносящий в памятную жертву ладан –
как тот, кто молится идолу[c].
Они сами избрали свои пути,
и мерзости их им приятны.
4 Что ж, и Я изберу суровое наказание для них
и наведу на них то, чего они боятся.
Когда Я звал, никто не ответил,
когда Я говорил, никто не слушал.
Они делали злое в Моих глазах
и избрали неугодное Мне.
5 Слушайте слово Господне,
трепещущие перед Его словом:
– Ваши братья, которые вас ненавидят
и изгоняют за имя Мое, сказали:
«Пусть Господь явит Себя в славе,
а мы посмотрим на вашу радость!»
Но они будут опозорены.
6 Вот, шум из города,
шум из храма – шум от того,
что Господь воздает врагам Своим по заслугам!
7 Еще не мучилась родами,
а уже родила;
еще не страдала от болей,
но уже разрешилась сыном.
8 Кто слышал о таком?
Кто видел подобное?
Рождается ли страна в один день
или народ – за одно мгновение?
Но дочь Сиона, едва начала мучиться родами,
как родила своих сыновей.
9 – Доведу ли Я до родов
и не дам родить? – говорит Господь. –
Разве закрою Я утробу,
дав силу родить? – говорит Бог твой. –
10 Ликуйте с дочерью Иерусалима и веселитесь о ней,
все, кто любит ее;
радуйтесь, радуйтесь с ней,
все, кто над ней плачет!
11 Потому что вы будете питаться и насыщаться
из ее груди, дающей утешение,
будете упиваться и наслаждаться
полнотой ее славы.
12 Ведь так говорит Господь:
– Я направляю к нему мир, как реку,
и богатства народов, как полноводный поток.
Вас будут кормить,
будут носить на руках
и качать на коленях.
13 Как мать утешает свое дитя,
так утешу вас Я;
вы будете утешены в Иерусалиме.
14 Когда вы увидите это, сердце ваше возрадуется,
и ваши тела[d] будут цвести, как трава;
Господня рука откроется Его слугам,
но ярость Его будет против Его врагов.
15 Вот, Господь придет в огне,
колесницы Его подобны урагану;
в ярости Он обрушит Свой гнев,
и в пылающем пламени – Свой укор.
16 Огнем и Своим мечом Господь исполнит
приговор над всеми людьми,
и много будет сраженных Господом.
17 – Те, кто освящается и очищается, чтобы идти, следуя за ведущим, в сады для поклонения идолам, кто ест свинину, мышей и другие мерзости[e], погибнут вместе, – возвещает Господь.
18 Я знаю их дела и мысли, и иду[f] собрать все народы и людей всех языков; они придут, увидят Мою славу, 19 и Я сотворю среди них знамение. Я пошлю некоторых из уцелевших к народам – в Таршиш, Пул[g] и Луд (знаменитый стрелками из лука), в Тувал и Грецию[h], к дальним островам, которые не слышали обо Мне и не видели Моей славы. Они возвестят Мою славу среди народов. 20 Они доставят всех ваших братьев из всех народов к Моей святой горе, в Иерусалим, как приношение Господу – на конях, в колесницах и повозках, на мулах и на верблюдах, – говорит Господь. – Они доставят их, как израильтяне доставляют свои хлебные приношения в храм Господа, в сосудах посвященных. 21 И еще Я отберу некоторых из них, чтобы они были священниками и левитами, – говорит Господь.
22 Потому что, как новое небо и новая земля, которые Я создам, устоят и останутся предо Мной, – возвещает Господь, – так останется ваше потомство и ваше имя. 23 И от Новолуния к Новолунию, от субботы к субботе все люди будут приходить и поклоняться Мне, – говорит Господь. – 24 Тогда они выйдут и посмотрят на трупы тех, кто отступил от Меня; их червь не умрет, и огонь их не угаснет[i], и они будут внушать отвращение всем людям.

Isaiah 66
New King James Version
True Worship and False
66 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
Where is the house that you will build Me?
And where is the place of My rest?
2 For all those things My hand has made,
And all those things exist,”
Says the Lord.
(B)“But on this one will I look:
(C)On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word.
3 “He(D) who kills a bull is as if he slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he (E)breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine’s blood;
He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol.
Just as they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
4 So will I choose their delusions,
And bring their fears on them;
(F)Because, when I called, no one answered,
When I spoke they did not hear;
But they did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”
The Lord Vindicates Zion
5 Hear the word of the Lord,
You who tremble at His word:
“Your brethren who (G)hated you,
Who cast you out for My name’s sake, said,
(H)‘Let the Lord be glorified,
That (I)we may see your joy.’
But they shall be ashamed.”
6 The sound of noise from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
Who fully repays His enemies!
7 “Before she was in labor, she gave birth;
Before her pain came,
She delivered a male child.
8 Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children.
9 Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem,
And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
11 That you may feed and be satisfied
With the consolation of her bosom,
That you may drink deeply and be delighted
With the abundance of her glory.”
12 For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, (J)I will extend peace to her like a river,
And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.
Then you shall (K)feed;
On her sides shall you be (L)carried,
And be dandled on her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforts,
So I will (M)comfort you;
And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”
The Reign and Indignation of God
14 When you see this, your heart shall rejoice,
And (N)your bones shall flourish like grass;
The hand of the Lord shall be known to His servants,
And His indignation to His enemies.
15 (O)For behold, the Lord will come with fire
And with His chariots, like a whirlwind,
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by (P)His sword
The Lord will judge all flesh;
And the slain of the Lord shall be (Q)many.
17 “Those(R) who sanctify themselves and purify themselves,
To go to the gardens
[a]After an idol in the midst,
Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse,
Shall [b]be consumed together,” says the Lord.
18 “For I know their works and their (S)thoughts. It shall be that I will (T)gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory. 19 (U)I will set a sign among them; and those among them who escape I will send to the nations: to Tarshish and [c]Pul and Lud, who draw the bow, and Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off who have not heard My fame nor seen My glory. (V)And they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles. 20 Then they shall (W)bring all your brethren (X)for an offering to the Lord out of all nations, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord. 21 And I will also take some of them for (Y)priests and Levites,” says the Lord.
22 “For as (Z)the new heavens and the new earth
Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord,
“So shall your descendants and your name remain.
23 And (AA)it shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And from one Sabbath to another,
(AB)All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.
24 “And they shall go forth and look
Upon the corpses of the men
Who have transgressed against Me.
For their (AC)worm does not die,
And their fire is not quenched.
They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

Isaiah 66
Common English Bible
Where God may be found
66 The Lord says:
Heaven is my throne,
and earth is my footstool.
So where could you build a house for me,
and where could my resting place be?
2 My hand made all these things
and brought them into being, says the Lord.
But here is where I will look:
to the humble and contrite in spirit,
who tremble at my word.
3 The one who slaughters an ox kills a person;
the one who sacrifices a sheep breaks a dog’s neck;
the one who makes a grain offering offers swine’s blood;
the one who burns incense blesses an idol.
All these have chosen their own ways,
and prefer their detestable things.
4 So I too will choose to punish them,
to bring horrors upon them,
since I called and no one answered.
I spoke and no one heard,
but they did evil in my eyes.
What I didn’t want, they chose.
5 Listen to the Lord’s word,
you who tremble at his word:
Your family members, those who hate and exclude you because of my name,
have said, “Let the Lord be glorified;
let’s see your joy.”
But they will be ashamed.
6 The sound of an uproar from the city! A sound from the temple!
The sound of the Lord repaying his enemies what they have earned.
Mother Zion
7 Before she was in labor, she gave birth.
Before her pangs came upon her, she delivered a boy.
8 Whoever heard of such a thing?
Whoever saw such things as these?
Can a land come to birth in one day?
Can a nation be born all at once?
Yet as soon as birth pangs came,
Zion bore her children.
9 Will I open the womb and not bring to birth? says the Lord.
Will I, who create life, close the womb? says your God.
10 Celebrate with Jerusalem; be happy with her,
all you who love her!
Rejoice with her in joy,
all you who mourn over her,
11 so that you may nurse and be satisfied
from her comforting breasts,
that you may drink and be refreshed
from her full breasts.
12 The Lord says:
Look, I’m extending prosperity to her like a river,
and the wealth of nations like an overflowing stream.
You will nurse and be carried on the hip
and bounced upon the knee.
13 As a mother comforts her child,
so I will comfort you;
in Jerusalem you will be comforted.
14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice;
your entire being will flourish like grass.
The Lord’s power will be known among his servants,
but his fury among his enemies.
15 The Lord will come with fire,
God’s chariots like a windstorm,
to repay in hot anger,
to rebuke with fiery flames.
16 With fire and with sword the Lord will judge all humanity;
many will be slain by the Lord.
17 Those who became holy and purify themselves, following their leader into the gardens,[a] who eat pork, detestable animals, and mice, will meet their end together, says the Lord.
Worshippers gathered from the nations
18 Because of their actions and thoughts, I’m coming to gather all nations and cultures. They will come to see my glory. 19 I will put a sign on them, by sending out some of the survivors to the nations, to Tarshish, Libya, and Lydia, and to the archers of Cilicia and Greece—distant coastlands that haven’t heard of my fame or seen my glory. They will declare my glory among the nations. 20 They will bring your family members from all nations as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots, in wagons, on mules, and on camels—to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, like Israelites bringing an offering in purified containers to the Lord’s house. 21 I will select some of them as priests and Levites, says the Lord.
22 As the new heavens and the new earth that I’m making will endure before me, says the Lord,
so your descendants and your name will endure.
23 From month to month and from Sabbath to Sabbath,
all humanity will come to worship me, says the Lord.
24 They will go out and see the corpses
of the people who rebelled against me,
where their worm never dies, where their fire is never extinguished.
They will be a horror to everyone.
