Isaiah 59
1 Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:
Glej, Gospodova roka ni skrajšana, da ne more rešiti niti njegovo uho zamašeno, da ne more slišati,
2 But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.
temveč so vaše krivičnosti ločile med vami in vašim Bogom in vaši grehi so skrili njegov obraz pred vami, da ne bi slišal.
3 For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.
Kajti vaše roke so omadeževane s krvjo in vaši prsti s krivičnostjo, vaše ustnice so govorile laži, vaš jezik je mrmral perverznost.
4 No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.
Nihče ne kliče za pravico niti se kdorkoli ne poteguje za resnico. Zaupajo v ničnost in govorijo laži, spočnejo vragolijo in obrodijo krivičnost.
5 They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.
Valijo jajca strupene kače in tkejo pajkovo mrežo. Kdor od njihovih jajc jé, umira in to, kar je zdrobljeno, se izvali v gada.
6 Their twisted threads will not make clothing, and their works will give them nothing for covering themselves: their works are works of sin, and violent acts are in their hands.
Njihove mreže ne bodo postale obleke niti se ne bodo pokrili s svojimi deli. Njihova dela so dela krivičnosti in dejanje nasilja je v njihovih rokah.
7 Their feet go quickly to evil, and they take delight in the death of the upright; their thoughts are thoughts of sin; wasting and destruction are in their ways.
Njihova stopala tečejo k zlu in hitijo, da prelijejo nedolžno kri. Njihove misli so misli krivičnosti; pustošenje in uničenje sta na njihovih stezah.
8 They have no knowledge of the way of peace, and there is no sense of what is right in their behaviour: they have made for themselves ways which are not straight; whoever goes in them has no knowledge of peace.
Poti miru ne poznajo in na njihovih poteh ni sodbe. Naredili so si sprijene steze. Kdorkoli tam hodi, ne bo poznal miru.
9 For this cause our right is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us: we are looking for light, but there is only the dark; for the shining of the sun, but our way is in the night.
Zato je sodba daleč od nas niti nas pravica ne doseže. Čakamo na svetlobo, toda glej, nejasnost; na sijaj, toda hodimo v temi.
10 We go on our way, like blind men feeling for the wall, even like those who have no eyes: we are running against things in daylight as if it was evening; our place is in the dark like dead men.
Tipamo za zidom kakor slepi in tipamo, kakor ne bi imeli oči. Spotikamo se opoldan kakor ponoči, na zapuščenih krajih smo kakor mrtvi možje.
11 We make noises of grief, like bears, and sad sounds like doves: we are looking for our right, but it is not there; for salvation, but it is far from us.
Vsi rjovemo kakor medvedje in boleče žalujemo kakor golobice. Pričakujemo sodbo, toda ni je; rešitev duš, toda ta je daleč od nas.
12 For our evil doings are increased before you, and our sins give witness against us: for our evil doings are with us, and we have knowledge of our sins:
Kajti naši prestopki so pomnoženi pred teboj in naši grehi pričujejo zoper nas. Naši prestopki so z nami in glede naših krivičnosti, mi jih poznamo:
13 We have gone against the Lord, and been false to him, turning away from our God, our words have been uncontrolled, and in our hearts are thoughts of deceit.
prestopanje in laganje zoper Gospoda in odhajanje proč od našega Boga, govorjenje zatiranja in punta, spočenjanje in izgovarjanje besed neresnice iz srca.
14 And the right is turned back, and righteousness is far away: for good faith is not to be seen in the public places, and upright behaviour may not come into the town.
Sodba je odvrnjena nazaj in pravica stoji daleč proč, kajti resnica je padla na ulici in nepristranskost ne more vstopiti.
15 Yes, faith is gone; and he whose heart is turned from evil comes into the power of the cruel: and the Lord saw it, and he was angry that there was no one to take up their cause.
Da, resnica peša in tisti, ki odhaja od zla, se izpostavlja za plen in Gospod je to videl in to ga je razžalilo, da ni bilo sodbe.
16 And he saw that there was no man, and was surprised that there was no one to take up their cause: so his arm gave salvation, and he made righteousness his support.
Videl je, da ni bilo nobenega človeka in se čudil, da ni bilo nobenega posredovalca, zato mu je njegov laket prinesel rešitev duše in njegova pravičnost ga je podpirala.
17 Yes, he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and salvation as a head-dress; and he put on punishment as clothing, and wrath as a robe.
Kajti nadel si je pravičnost kakor prsni oklep in na svojo glavo čelado rešitve duš in za oblačila si je nadel obleke maščevanja in z gorečnostjo je bil odet kakor z ogrinjalom.
18 He will give them the right reward of their doings, wrath to his attackers, punishment to his haters, and even on the sea-lands he will send punishment.
Glede na njihova dejanja bo primerno poplačal: razjarjenost svojim nasprotnikom, povračilo svojim sovražnikom, otokom bo poplačal povračilo.
19 So they will see the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the east: for he will come like a rushing stream, forced on by a wind of the Lord.
Tako se bodo bali Gospodovega imena od zahoda in njegove slave od sončnega vzhoda. Ko bo sovražnik vstopil kot povodenj, bo Gospodov duh dvignil prapor zoper njega.
20 And as a saviour he will come to Zion, turning away sin from Jacob, says the Lord.
Odkupitelj bo prišel na Sion in k tistim, ki se obračajo od prestopka v Jakobu, ‹ govori Gospod.
21 And as for me, this is my agreement with them, says the Lord: my spirit which is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, will not go away from your mouth, or from the mouth of your seed, or from the mouth of your seed's seed, says the Lord, from now and for ever.
›Kar se tiče mene, to je moja zaveza z njimi, ‹ govori Gospod: ›Moj duh, ki je na tebi in moje besede, ki sem ti jih položil v tvoja usta, ne bodo odšle iz tvojih ust niti iz ust tvojega semena niti iz ust semena tvojega semena, ‹ govori Gospod, ›od tega časa naprej in na veke.
