Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence,
О да би раздро небеса и сишао, да се растопе горе од Тебе,
2 as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence.
Као што се на огњу разгори грање и вода узаври од огња, да име Твоје познају непријатељи Твоји и да народи дрхћу од Тебе.
3 When you did awesome things which we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
Кад си чинио страхоте којима се не надасмо, Ти си силазио, и горе се растапаху од Тебе.
4 Since ancient times no one has heard, and no ear has perceived, and no eye has seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
Откако је века не чу се, нити се ушима дозна, нити око виде Бога осим Тебе да би тако учинио онима који Га чекају.
5 You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Look, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time; and shall we be saved?
Сретао си оног који се радује творећи правду; помињу Те на путевима Твојим; гле, Ти си се разгневио што грешисмо; да на њима једнако остасмо, бисмо се спасли.
6 For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
Али сви бејасмо као нечисто шта, и сва наша правда као нечиста хаљина; зато опадосмо сви као лист, и безакоња наша као ветар однесоше нас.
7 There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
Никога не би да призива име Твоје, да устане да се Тебе држи, јер си сакрио лице своје од нас и растопио си нас безакоњем нашим.
8 But now, LORD, you are our Father, and we are clay, and you are our potter; and we all are the work of your hands.
Али сада, Господе, Ти си наш Отац; ми смо као, а Ти си наш лончар, и сви смо дело руку Твојих.
9 Do not be furious, LORD, neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg you, we are all your people.
Господе, не гневи се веома, и не помињи довека безакоње; ево, погледај; ми смо сви Твој народ.
10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become like a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Градови светости Твоје опустеше; Сион опусте, Јерусалим поста пустош.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
Дом наше светиње и наше красоте, у коме Те славише оци наши, изгоре огњем, и све што нам беше драго потрвено је.
12 Will you refrain yourself for these things, LORD? Will you hold your peace, and afflict us very severely?
Хоћеш ли се на то уздржати, Господе, и ћутати, и једнако нас мучити?
