Isaiah 64
1 Would that thou hadst rent the heavens, hadst come down,
О да би раздро небеса и сишао, да се растопе горе од Тебе,
2 At thy presence, had mountains, quaked: As fire kindleth brushwood, [As] fire causeth, water, to boil, So if thou wouldst make known thy Name to thine adversaries, At thy presence, nations, would tremble.
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 thou didst fearful things we could not expect, Thou camest down at thy presence, mountains, quaked.
Кад си чинио страхоте којима се не надасмо, Ти си силазио, и горе се растапаху од Тебе.
4 Although from age-past times It was never heard, It was not perceived by the ear, —Neither did, the eye, ever see—That, a god besides thee, could work for the man who waited 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 Yet didst thou meet Him who was rejoicing and working righteousness, Even them who in thy ways, remembered thee, —Lo! thou, hast been vexed, And truly we had sinned, Among them, was the prospect of an age [to come], That we might 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 But we have become as one unclean all of us, And, as a garment polluted, were all our righteous doings, —And so we faded like a leaf all of us, And, our iniquity, as a wind, carried 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 And there was none To call upon thy Name, To rouse himself to lay firm hold on thee, —For thou hadst hidden thy face from us, And hadst made us despond, by means of our iniquity.
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, O Yahweh, our father, thou art, —We are the clay, and, thou, art our potter, Yea the work of thy hand, are we all:
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 indignant, O Yahweh so very greatly, Neither perpetually, do thou recall iniquity, —Lo! look around, we pray thee…thy people, are, we all.
Господе, не гневи се веома, и не помињи довека безакоње; ево, погледај; ми смо сви Твој народ.
10 Thy holy cities, have become a wilderness, —Zion, a wilderness, hath become, Jerusalem, a desolation!
Градови светости Твоје опустеше; Сион опусте, Јерусалим поста пустош.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house Where our fathers praised thee, Hath become a conflagration, —And, all our delightful places, are in ruins!
Дом наше светиње и наше красоте, у коме Те славише оци наши, изгоре огњем, и све што нам беше драго потрвено је.
12 In view of these things, wilt thou restrain thyself. O Yahweh? Wilt thou hold thy peace and humble us so very greatly?
Хоћеш ли се на то уздржати, Господе, и ћутати, и једнако нас мучити?
