Isaiah 64
1 Oh, that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, — that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
O da bi razdro nebesa i sišao, da se rastope gore od tebe,
2 — as fire kindleth brushwood, as the fire causeth water to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations might tremble at thy presence!
Kao što se na ognju razgori granje i voda uzavri od ognja, da ime tvoje poznadu neprijatelji tvoji i da narodi drkæu od tebe.
3 When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not for, thou camest down, and the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
Kad si èinio strahote kojima se ne nadasmo, ti si slazio, i gore se rastapahu od tebe.
4 Never have [men] heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor hath eye seen a God beside thee, who acteth for him that waiteth for him.
Otkako je vijeka ne èu se, niti se ušima dozna, niti oko vidje Boga osim tebe da bi tako uèinio onima koji ga èekaju.
5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth to do righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: (behold, thou wast wroth, and we have sinned: ) in those is perpetuity, and we shall be saved.
Sretao si onoga koji se raduje tvoreæi pravdu; pominju te na putovima tvojim; gle, ti si se razgnjevio što griješismo; da na njima jednako ostasmo, bismo se spasli.
6 And we are all become as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have carried us away;
Ali svi bijasmo kao neèisto što, i sva naša pravda kao neèista haljina; zato opadosmo svi kao list, i bezakonja naša kao vjetar odnesoše nas.
7 and there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee; for thou hast hidden thy face from us, and hast caused us to melt away through our iniquities.
Nikoga ne bi da priziva ime tvoje, da ustane da se tebe drži, jer si sakrio lice svoje od nas i rastopio si nas bezakonjem našim.
8 And now, Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Ali sada, Gospode, ti si naš otac; mi smo kao, a ti si naš lonèar, i svi smo djelo ruku tvojih.
9 Be not wroth very sore, O Jehovah, neither remember iniquity for ever. Behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
Gospode, ne gnjevi se veoma, i ne pominji dovijeka bezakonja; evo, pogledaj; mi smo svi tvoj narod.
10 Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Gradovi svetosti tvoje opustješe; Sion opustje, Jerusalim posta pustoš.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burnt up with fire, and all our precious things are laid waste.
Dom naše svetinje i naše krasote, u kom te slaviše oci naši, izgorje ognjem, i sve što nam bješe drago potrveno je.
12 Wilt thou restrain thyself in presence of these things, Jehovah? Wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
Hoæeš li se na to uzdržati, Gospode, i muèati, i jednako nas muèiti?
