Isaiah 59
1 Behold, the hand of YHWH Has not been shortened from saving, Nor His ear heavy from hearing.
Ne, nije ruka Jahvina prekratka da spasi, niti mu je uho otvrdlo da ne bi čuo,
2 But your iniquities have been separating Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you—from hearing.
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 hands have been defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity, Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue mutters perverseness.
Jer ruke su vaše u krvi ogrezle, a vaši prsti u zločinima. Usne vam izgovaraju laž, a jezik podlost mrmlja.
4 There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity.
Nitko s pravom tužbu ne podiže, niti koga sude po istini. U ništavilo se uzdaju, laž kazuju, začinju zloću, a rađaju bezakonje.
5 They have hatched eggs of a viper, And weave webs of a spider, Whoever is eating their eggs dies, and the crushed hatches a viper.
Legu jaja gujina, tkaju mrežu paukovu; pojede li tko njihovo jaje, umire, razbije li ga, iz njega ljutica izlazi.
6 Their webs do not become a garment, Nor do they cover themselves with their works, Their works [are] works of iniquity, And a deed of violence [is] in their hands.
Njihovim tkanjem nemoguće se odjenuti, ne možeš se pokriti njihovom rukotvorinom. Rukotvorine su njihove djela zločinačka, rukama svojim čine nasilje.
7 Their feet run to evil, And they hurry to shed innocent blood, Their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity, Spoiling and destruction [are] in their highways.
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 They have not known a way of peace, And there is no judgment in their paths, They have made their paths perverse for themselves, None treading in it has known peace.
Put mira oni ne poznaju, na stazama njihovim nema pravice. Iskrivili su svoje putove, tko njima kreće mira ne poznaje.
9 Therefore judgment has been far from us, And righteousness does not reach us, We wait for light, and behold, darkness, For brightness—in thick darkness we go,
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 We feel [for] the wall like the blind, Indeed, we feel as without eyes, We have stumbled at noon as at twilight, In desolate places as the dead.
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 make a noise as bears—all of us, And we coo severely as doves; We wait for judgment, and there is none, For salvation—it has been far from us.
Svi mumljamo kao medvjedi i gučemo tužno kao golubovi. Očekivasmo Sud, a njega nema, i spasenje - od nas je daleko.
12 For our transgressions have been multiplied before You, And our sins have testified against us, For our transgressions [are] with us, And our iniquities—we have known them.
Jer mnogo je naših opačina pred tobom i grijesi naši protiv nas svjedoče. Doista, prijestupi su naši pred nama, mi znademo svoju krivicu;
13 Transgressing, and lying against YHWH, And removing from after our God, Speaking oppression and apostasy, Conceiving and uttering from the heart Words of falsehood.
pobunili smo se i zanijekali Jahvu, odmetnuli se od Boga svojega, govorili podlo, odmetnički, mrmljali u srcu riječi lažljive.
14 And judgment is removed backward, And righteousness stands far off, For truth has been feeble in the street, And straightforwardness is not able to enter,
Tako je potisnuto pravo, i pravda mora stajati daleko. Jer na trgu posrnu istina i poštenju nema više pristupa.
15 And the truth is lacking, And whoever is turning aside from evil, Is making himself a spoil. And YHWH sees, and it is evil in His eyes, That there is no judgment.
Vjernosti je ponestalo, a tko izbjegava zlo, bude opljačkan. Jahve vidje, i ne bi mu milo što nema pravice.
16 And He sees that there is no man, And is astonished that there is no intercessor, And His own arm gives salvation to Him, And His righteousness—it sustained Him.
Vidje da nema čovjeka, začudi se što nema posrednika. Tad mu pomože njegova mišica i njegova ga pravda poduprije.
17 And He puts on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head, And He puts on garments of vengeance [for] clothing, And is covered, as [with] an upper-robe, [with] zeal.
Pravednost je obukao k'o oklop, stavio na glavu kacigu spasenja. Osvetom se odjenuo k'o haljom, ogrnu se revnošću kao plaštem.
18 According to deeds—so He repays. Fury to His adversaries, [their] deed to His enemies, To the islands He repays [their] deed.
Vratit će svakome po njegovim djelima: gnjev svojim protivnicima, odmazdu dušmanima.
19 And from the west they fear the Name of YHWH, And from the rising of the sun—His glory, When an adversary comes in as a flood, The Spirit of YHWH has raised an ensign against him.
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 has come to Zion, Even to captives of transgression in Jacob,” A declaration of YHWH.
Ali doći će Otkupitelj Sionu, i onima od sinova Jakovljevih koji se obrate od svog otpadništva, riječ je Jahvina.
21 “And I—this [is] My covenant with them,” said YHWH, “My Spirit that [is] on you, And My words that I have put in your mouth, Do not depart from your mouth, And from the mouth of your seed, And from the mouth of your seed’s seed,” said YHWH, “From now on, even for all time!”
“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.
