Isaiah 59
1 Look, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it can't save; neither his ear heavy, that it can't 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 hidden his face from you, so that he will 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 defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.
Kajti vaše roke so omadeževane s krvjo in vaši prsti s krivičnostjo, vaše ustnice so govorile laži, vaš jezik je mrmral perverznost.
4 None sues in righteousness, and none pleads in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; 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 adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks 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 are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; destruction and calamity 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 do not know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes in it does not know 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, neither does righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, look, 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; yes, we grope as those who have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among those who are lusty we are as 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 roar all like bears, and moan bitterly like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off 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 you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for 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 transgressing and denying the LORD, and turning away from following 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 Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness can't enter.
Sodba je odvrnjena nazaj in pravica stoji daleč proč, kajti resnica je padla na ulici in nepristranskost ne more vstopiti.
15 Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. The LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
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 He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness, it upheld 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 He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
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 their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.
Glede na njihova dejanja bo primerno poplačal: razjarjenost svojim nasprotnikom, povračilo svojim sovražnikom, otokom bo poplačal povračilo.
19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of the LORD drives.
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 "A Redeemer will come from Zion, and he will turn away transgression from Jacob," says the LORD.
Odkupitelj bo prišel na Sion in k tistim, ki se obračajo od prestopka v Jakobu, ‹ govori Gospod.
21 "As for me, this is my covenant with them," says the LORD. "My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your children, nor out of the mouth of your children's children," says the LORD, "from now on and forever."
›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.
