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 И сказал мне Господь: возьми себе большой свиток и начертай на нем человеческим письмом: Магер-шелал-хаш-баз.
1 Yahweh said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man’s pen, ‘For Maher Shalal Hash Baz’;
2 И я взял себе верных свидетелей: Урию священника и Захарию, сына Варахиина, -
2 and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.”
3 и приступил я к пророчице, и она зачала и родила сына. И сказал мне Господь: нареки ему имя: Магер-шелал-хаш-баз,
3 I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Call his name ‘Maher Shalal Hash Baz.’
4 ибо прежде нежели дитя будет уметь выговорить: отец мой, мать моя, - богатства Дамаска и добычи Самарийские понесут перед царем Ассирийским.
4 For before the child knows how to say, ‘My father’ and ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
5 И продолжал Господь говорить ко мне и сказал еще:
5 Yahweh spoke to me yet again, saying,
6 за то, что этот народ пренебрегает водами Силоама, текущими тихо, и восхищается Рецином и сыном Ремалииным,
6 “Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
7 наведет на него Господь воды реки бурные и большие - царя Ассирийского со всею славою его; и поднимется она во всех протоках своих и выступит из всех берегов своих;
7 now therefore, behold, the Lord brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
8 и пойдет по Иудее, наводнит ее и высоко поднимется - дойдет до шеи; и распростертие крыльев ее будет во всю широту земли Твоей, Еммануил!
8 It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through. It will reach even to the neck. The stretching out of its wings will fill the width of your land, O Immanuel.
9 Враждуйте, народы, но трепещите, и внимайте, все отдаленные земли! Вооружайтесь, но трепещите; вооружайтесь, но трепещите!
9 Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!
10 Замышляйте замыслы, но они рушатся; говорите слово, но оно не состоится: ибо с нами Бог!
10 Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.”
11 Ибо так говорил мне Господь, держа на мне крепкую руку и внушая мне не ходить путем сего народа, и сказал:
11 For Yahweh spoke this to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 "Не называйте заговором всего того, что народ сей называет заговором; и не бойтесь того, чего он боится, и не страшитесь.
12 “Don’t call a conspiracy all that this people call a conspiracy. Don’t fear their threats or be terrorized.
13 Господа Саваофа - Его чтите свято, и Он - страх ваш, и Он - трепет ваш!
13 Yahweh of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
14 И будет Он освящением и камнем преткновения, и скалою соблазна для обоих домов Израиля, петлею и сетью для жителей Иерусалима.
14 He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a stumbling stone and a rock that makes them fall. For the people of Jerusalem, he will be a trap and a snare.
15 И многие из них преткнутся и упадут, и разобьются, и запутаются в сети, и будут уловлены.
15 Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”
16 Завяжи свидетельство, и запечатай откровение при учениках Моих".
16 Wrap up the covenant. Seal the law among my disciples.
17 Итак я надеюсь на Господа, сокрывшего лице Свое от дома Иаковлева, и уповаю на Него.
17 I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Вот я и дети, которых дал мне Господь, как указания и предзнаменования в Израиле от Господа Саваофа, живущего на горе Сионе.
18 Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of Armies, who dwells in Mount Zion.
19 И когда скажут вам: обратитесь к вызывателям умерших и к чародеям, к шептунам и чревовещателям, - тогда отвечайте: не должен ли народ обращаться к своему Богу? спрашивают ли мертвых о живых?
19 When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter,” shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
20 Обращайтесь к закону и откровению. Если они не говорят, как это слово, то нет в них света.
20 Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
21 И будут они бродить по земле, жестоко угнетенные и голодные; и во время голода будут злиться, хулить царя своего и Бога своего.
21 They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry. It will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse their king and their God. They will turn their faces upward,
22 И взглянут вверх, и посмотрят на землю; и вот - горе и мрак, густая тьма, и будут повержены во тьму. Но не всегда будет мрак там, где теперь он сгустел.
22 then look to the earth and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.

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 before the child shall have knowledge to cry, Father or mother, He shall receive the power of Damascus, and the spoils of Samaria, against the king of the Assyrians;" declaring, in a mysterious manner indeed, but emphatically, that the Lord did fight with a hidden hand against Amalek.
How is it then that the prophet said, "Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz?" Because, when he was born, there was a taking and dividing of spoils, therefore the event that took place in his time is put as his name.

… beside the waters of comfort, He hath converted my soul:--that Angels also may share your joy, and Christ Himself the great High Priest, having accepted your resolve, may present you all to the Father, saying, Behold, I and the children whom God hath given Me.

It is very shameful, and not only shameful, but very foolish, to take from things below a guess at things above, and from a fluctuating nature at the things that are unchanging, and as Isaiah says, to seek the Living among the dead. But yet I will try, for your sake, to give you some assistance for your argument, even …

Again, there are those who say, "He is a man, and who shall know him?" and, "I came unto the prophetess, and she bare a son, and His name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God;" and those [of them] who proclaimed Him as Immanuel, [born] of the Virgin, exhibited the union of the Word of God with His own …
