Isaiah 59
1 Beholde, the Lordes hande is not shortened, that it can not saue: neither is his eare heauie, that it cannot heare.
Ne, nije ruka Jahvina prekratka da spasi, niti mu je uho otvrdlo da ne bi čuo,
2 But your iniquities haue separated betweene you and your God, and your sinnes haue hidde his face from you, that he will not heare.
nego su opačine vaše jaz otvorile između vas i Boga vašega. Vaši su grijesi lice njegovo zastrli, i on vas više ne sluša.
3 For your handes are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquitie: your lips haue spoken lies and your tongue hath murmured iniquitie.
Jer ruke su vaše u krvi ogrezle, a vaši prsti u zločinima. Usne vam izgovaraju laž, a jezik podlost mrmlja.
4 No man calleth for iustice: no man contendeth for trueth: they trust in vanitie, and speake vaine things: they conceiue mischiefe, and bring foorth iniquitie.
Nitko s pravom tužbu ne podiže, niti koga sude po istini. U ništavilo se uzdaju, laž kazuju, začinju zloću, a rađaju bezakonje.
5 They hatch cockatrice egges, and weaue the spiders webbe: he that eateth of their egges, dieth, and that which is trode vpon, breaketh out into a serpent.
Legu jaja gujina, tkaju mrežu paukovu; pojede li tko njihovo jaje, umire, razbije li ga, iz njega ljutica izlazi.
6 Their webbes shall be no garment, neither shall they couer themselues with their labours: for their workes are workes of iniquitie, and the worke of crueltie is in their handes.
Njihovim tkanjem nemoguće se odjenuti, ne možeš se pokriti njihovom rukotvorinom. Rukotvorine su njihove djela zločinačka, rukama svojim čine nasilje.
7 Their feete runne to euill, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are wicked thoughts: desolation and destruction is in their paths.
Noge njihove u zlo hitaju i brze su da krv nevinu proliju. Misli su im misli zločinačke, pustoš i propast na njinim su putima.
8 The way of peace they knowe not, and there is none equitie in their goings: they haue made them crooked paths: whosoeuer goeth therein, shall not knowe peace.
Put mira oni ne poznaju, na stazama njihovim nema pravice. Iskrivili su svoje putove, tko njima kreće mira ne poznaje.
9 Therefore is iudgement farre from vs, neither doeth iustice come neere vnto vs: we waite for light, but loe, it is darkenesse: for brightnesse, but we walke in darkenesse.
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.
10 Wee grope for the wall like the blinde, and we grope as one without eyes: we stumble at the noone day as in the twilight: we are in solitarie places, as dead men.
Pipamo kao slijepci duž zida, tapkamo kao bez očiju. Spotičemo se u podne k'o u sumraku, sasvim zdravi, kao da smo mrtvi.
11 We roare all like beares, and mourne like dooues: wee looke for equitie, but there is none: for health, but it is farre from vs.
Svi mumljamo kao medvjedi i gučemo tužno kao golubovi. Očekivasmo Sud, a njega nema, i spasenje - od nas je daleko.
12 For our trespasses are many before thee, and our sinnes testifie against vs: for our trespasses are with vs, and we knowe our iniquities
Jer mnogo je naših opačina pred tobom i grijesi naši protiv nas svjedoče. Doista, prijestupi su naši pred nama, mi znademo svoju krivicu;
13 In trespassing and lying against the Lord, and wee haue departed away from our God, and haue spoken of crueltie and rebellion, conceiuing and vttering out of the heart false matters.
pobunili smo se i zanijekali Jahvu, odmetnuli se od Boga svojega, govorili podlo, odmetnički, mrmljali u srcu riječi lažljive.
14 Therefore iudgement is turned backewarde, and iustice standeth farre off: for trueth is fallen in the streete, and equitie cannot enter.
Tako je potisnuto pravo, i pravda mora stajati daleko. Jer na trgu posrnu istina i poštenju nema više pristupa.
15 Yea, trueth faileth, and hee that refraineth from euill, maketh himselfe a praye: and when the Lord sawe it, it displeased him, that there was no iudgement.
Vjernosti je ponestalo, a tko izbjegava zlo, bude opljačkan. Jahve vidje, i ne bi mu milo što nema pravice.
16 And when he sawe that there was no man, hee wondered that none woulde offer him selfe. Therefore his arme did saue it, and his righteousnes it selfe did sustaine it.
Vidje da nema čovjeka, začudi se što nema posrednika. Tad mu pomože njegova mišica i njegova ga pravda poduprije.
17 For he put on righteousnes, as an habergeon, and an helmet of saluation vpon his head, and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeale as a cloke.
Pravednost je obukao k'o oklop, stavio na glavu kacigu spasenja. Osvetom se odjenuo k'o haljom, ogrnu se revnošću kao plaštem.
18 As to make recompence, as to requite the furie of the aduersaries with a recompence to his enemies: he will fully repaire the ylands.
Vratit će svakome po njegovim djelima: gnjev svojim protivnicima, odmazdu dušmanima.
19 So shall they feare the Name of the Lord from the West, and his glory from the rising of the sunne: for the enemie shall come like a flood: but the Spirit of the Lord shall chase him away.
Sa zapada vidjet će ime Jahvino i Slavu njegovu s istoka sunčanog. Jer doći će kao uska rijeka koju goni dah Jahvin.
20 And the Redeemer shall come vnto Zion, and vnto them that turne from iniquitie in Iaakob, saith the Lord.
Ali doći će Otkupitelj Sionu, i onima od sinova Jakovljevih koji se obrate od svog otpadništva, riječ je Jahvina.
21 And I will make this my couenant with them, saith the Lord. My Spirit that is vpon thee, and my wordes, which I haue put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seede, nor out of the mouth of the seede of thy seede, saith the Lord, from hencefoorth euen for euer.
“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.
