Notes on this text (1)
- Includes the books not found in the Hebrew Bible (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1–3 Maccabees, 2 and 3 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh), as in the Synodal editions.
1 Вот, рука Господа не сократилась на то, чтобы спасать, и ухо Его не отяжелело для того, чтобы слышать.
1 Behold, Yahweh’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save; nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear.
2 Но беззакония ваши произвели разделение между вами и Богом вашим, и грехи ваши отвращают лице Его от вас, чтобы не слышать.
2 But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
3 Ибо руки ваши осквернены кровью и персты ваши - беззаконием; уста ваши говорят ложь, язык ваш произносит неправду.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies. Your tongue mutters wickedness.
4 Никто не возвышает голоса за правду, и никто не вступается за истину; надеются на пустое и говорят ложь, зачинают зло и рождают злодейство;
4 No one sues in righteousness, and no one pleads in truth. They trust in vanity and speak lies. They conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
5 высиживают змеиные яйца и ткут паутину; кто поест яиц их, - умрет, а если раздавит, - выползет ехидна.
5 They hatch adders’ eggs and weave the spider’s web. He who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
6 Паутины их для одежды негодны, и они не покроются своим произведением; дела их - дела неправедные, и насилие в руках их.
6 Their webs won’t become garments. They won’t cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of iniquity, and acts of violence are in their hands.
7 Ноги их бегут ко злу, и они спешат на пролитие невинной крови; мысли их - мысли нечестивые; опустошение и гибель на стезях их.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity. Desolation and destruction are in their paths.
8 Пути мира они не знают, и нет суда на стезях их; пути их искривлены, и никто, идущий по ним, не знает мира.
8 They don’t know the way of peace; and there is no justice in their ways. They have made crooked paths for themselves; whoever goes in them doesn’t know peace.
9 Потому-то и далек от нас суд, и правосудие не достигает до нас; ждем света, и вот тьма, - озарения, и ходим во мраке.
9 Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness doesn’t overtake us. We look for light, but see darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.
10 Осязаем, как слепые стену, и, как без глаз, ходим ощупью; спотыкаемся в полдень, как в сумерки, между живыми - как мертвые.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind. Yes, we grope as those who have no eyes. We stumble at noon as if it were twilight. Among those who are strong, we are like dead men.
11 Все мы ревем, как медведи, и стонем, как голуби; ожидаем суда, и нет его, - спасения, но оно далеко от нас.
11 We all roar like bears and moan sadly like doves. We look for justice, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far off from us.
12 Ибо преступления наши многочисленны пред Тобою, и грехи наши свидетельствуют против нас; ибо преступления наши с нами, и беззакония наши мы знаем.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:
13 Мы изменили и солгали пред Господом, и отступили от Бога нашего; говорили клевету и измену, зачинали и рождали из сердца лживые слова.
13 transgressing and denying Yahweh, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 И суд отступил назад, и правда стала вдали, ибо истина преткнулась на площади, и честность не может войти.
14 Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has fallen in the street, and uprightness can’t enter.
15 И не стало истины, и удаляющийся от зла подвергается оскорблению. И Господь увидел это, и противно было очам Его, что нет суда.
15 Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Yahweh saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
16 И видел, что нет человека, и дивился, что нет заступника; и помогла Ему мышца Его, и правда Его поддержала Его.
16 He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor. Therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness sustained him.
17 И Он возложил на Себя правду, как броню, и шлем спасения на главу Свою; и облекся в ризу мщения, как в одежду, и покрыл Себя ревностью, как плащом.
17 He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head. He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
18 По мере возмездия, по этой мере Он воздаст противникам Своим - яростью, врагам Своим - местью, островам воздаст должное.
18 According to their deeds, he will repay as appropriate: wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies. He will repay the islands their due.
19 И убоятся имени Господа на западе и славы Его - на восходе солнца. Если враг придет как река, дуновение Господа прогонит его.
19 So they will fear Yahweh’s name from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which Yahweh’s breath drives.
20 И придет Искупитель Сиона и сынов Иакова, обратившихся от нечестия, говорит Господь.
20 “A Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from disobedience in Jacob,” says Yahweh.
21 И вот завет Мой с ними, говорит Господь: Дух Мой, Который на тебе, и слова Мои, которые вложил Я в уста твои, не отступят от уст твоих и от уст потомства твоего, и от уст потомков потомства твоего, говорит Господь, отныне и до века.
21 “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says Yahweh. “My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your offspring, nor out of the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says Yahweh, “from now on and forever.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For while they remain, there remains in some sort enmity against God, and alienation from Him, which comes from what is evil in us; since Scripture does not speak falsely, which says, "Your sins separate between you and God." He does not then bestow on us His good things, except He take away our evil things.

"Our years are passed in thought like a spider." We were labouring in things corruptible, corruptible works were we weaving together: which, as the Prophet Isaiah saith, by no means covered us. "The days of our years are in themselves," etc.
