Isaiah 59
1 Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear;
Glej, Gospodova roka ni skrajšana, da ne more rešiti niti njegovo uho zamašeno, da ne more slišati,
2 but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he doth not hear.
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 stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips speak lies, your tongue muttereth unrighteousness:
Kajti vaše roke so omadeževane s krvjo in vaši prsti s krivičnostjo, vaše ustnice so govorile laži, vaš jezik je mrmral perverznost.
4 none calleth for justice, none pleadeth in truthfulness. They trust in vanity, and speak falsehood; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
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 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.
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 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.
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 run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths;
Njihova stopala tečejo k zlu in hitijo, da prelijejo nedolžno kri. Njihove misli so misli krivičnosti; pustošenje in uničenje sta na njihovih stezah.
8 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.
Poti miru ne poznajo in na njihovih poteh ni sodbe. Naredili so si sprijene steze. Kdorkoli tam hodi, ne bo poznal miru.
9 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us; and our iniquities, we know them:
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 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.
prestopanje in laganje zoper Gospoda in odhajanje proč od našega Boga, govorjenje zatiranja in punta, spočenjanje in izgovarjanje besed neresnice iz srca.
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth stumbleth in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.
Sodba je odvrnjena nazaj in pravica stoji daleč proč, kajti resnica je padla na ulici in nepristranskost ne more vstopiti.
15 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.
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 he wondered that there was no intercessor; and his arm brought him salvation, and his righteousness, it sustained him.
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 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.
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 According to deeds, so will he repay: fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
Glede na njihova dejanja bo primerno poplačal: razjarjenost svojim nasprotnikom, povračilo svojim sovražnikom, otokom bo poplačal povračilo.
19 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.
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 the Redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith Jehovah.
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 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.
›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.
