Izaija 59
1 Ne, nije ruka Jahvina prekratka da spasi, niti mu je uho otvrdlo da ne bi čuo,
Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear;
2 nego su opačine vaše jaz otvorile između vas i Boga vašega. Vaši su grijesi lice njegovo zastrli, i on vas više ne sluša.
but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he doth not hear.
3 Jer ruke su vaše u krvi ogrezle, a vaši prsti u zločinima. Usne vam izgovaraju laž, a jezik podlost mrmlja.
For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips speak lies, your tongue muttereth unrighteousness:
4 Nitko s pravom tužbu ne podiže, niti koga sude po istini. U ništavilo se uzdaju, laž kazuju, začinju zloću, a rađaju bezakonje.
none calleth for justice, none pleadeth in truthfulness. They trust in vanity, and speak falsehood; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
5 Legu jaja gujina, tkaju mrežu paukovu; pojede li tko njihovo jaje, umire, razbije li ga, iz njega ljutica izlazi.
They hatch serpents' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
6 Njihovim tkanjem nemoguće se odjenuti, ne možeš se pokriti njihovom rukotvorinom. Rukotvorine su njihove djela zločinačka, rukama svojim čine nasilje.
Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
7 Noge njihove u zlo hitaju i brze su da krv nevinu proliju. Misli su im misli zločinačke, pustoš i propast na njinim su putima.
Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths;
8 Put mira oni ne poznaju, na stazama njihovim nema pravice. Iskrivili su svoje putove, tko njima kreće mira ne poznaje.
the way of peace they know not, and there is no judgment in their goings; they have made their paths crooked: whoso goeth therein knoweth not peace.
9 Stog' se pravo od nas udaljilo, zato pravda ne dopire do nas. Nadasmo se svjetlosti, a ono tama; i vidjelu, a ono u tmini hodimo.
Therefore is justice far from us, and righteousness overtaketh us not: we wait for light, and behold darkness; for brightness, [but] we walk in obscurity.
10 Pipamo kao slijepci duž zida, tapkamo kao bez očiju. Spotičemo se u podne k'o u sumraku, sasvim zdravi, kao da smo mrtvi.
We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at midday as in the twilight; amongst the flourishing we are as the dead.
11 Svi mumljamo kao medvjedi i gučemo tužno kao golubovi. Očekivasmo Sud, a njega nema, i spasenje - od nas je daleko.
We roar all like bears, and mourn grievously like doves: we look for judgment, and there is none; for salvation, [but] it is far from us.
12 Jer mnogo je naših opačina pred tobom i grijesi naši protiv nas svjedoče. Doista, prijestupi su naši pred nama, mi znademo svoju krivicu;
For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us; and our iniquities, we know them:
13 pobunili smo se i zanijekali Jahvu, odmetnuli se od Boga svojega, govorili podlo, odmetnički, mrmljali u srcu riječi lažljive.
in transgressing and lying against Jehovah, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 Tako je potisnuto pravo, i pravda mora stajati daleko. Jer na trgu posrnu istina i poštenju nema više pristupa.
And judgment is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth stumbleth in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.
15 Vjernosti je ponestalo, a tko izbjegava zlo, bude opljačkan. Jahve vidje, i ne bi mu milo što nema pravice.
And truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And Jehovah saw [it], and it was evil in his sight that there was no judgment.
16 Vidje da nema čovjeka, začudi se što nema posrednika. Tad mu pomože njegova mišica i njegova ga pravda poduprije.
And he saw that there was no man, and he wondered that there was no intercessor; and his arm brought him salvation, and his righteousness, it sustained him.
17 Pravednost je obukao k'o oklop, stavio na glavu kacigu spasenja. Osvetom se odjenuo k'o haljom, ogrnu se revnošću kao plaštem.
And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance [for] clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
18 Vratit će svakome po njegovim djelima: gnjev svojim protivnicima, odmazdu dušmanima.
According to deeds, so will he repay: fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
19 Sa zapada vidjet će ime Jahvino i Slavu njegovu s istoka sunčanog. Jer doći će kao uska rijeka koju goni dah Jahvin.
And they shall fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and from the rising of the sun, his glory. When the adversary shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah will lift up a banner against him.
20 Ali doći će Otkupitelj Sionu, i onima od sinova Jakovljevih koji se obrate od svog otpadništva, riječ je Jahvina.
And the Redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith Jehovah.
21 “A ovo je moj Savez s njima,” govori Jahve. “Duh moj koji je na tebi i riječi moje koje stavih u tvoja usta neće izići iz usta tvojih ni usta tvojega potomstva, ni iz usta potomstva tvojih potomaka, od sada pa dovijeka,” veli Jahve.
And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith Jehovah: My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith Jehovah, from henceforth and for ever.
