< Isaiah 59 >
1 look! not be short hand: power LORD from to save and not to honor: dull ear his from to hear: hear
Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:
2 that if: except if: except iniquity: crime your to be to separate between you to/for between God your and sin your to hide face from you from to hear: hear
But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.
3 for palm your to defile in/on/with blood and finger your in/on/with iniquity: crime lips your to speak: speak deception tongue your injustice to mutter
For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.
4 nothing to call: call to in/on/with righteousness and nothing to judge in/on/with faithfulness to trust upon formlessness and to speak: speak vanity: false to conceive trouble and to beget evil: wickedness
No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.
5 egg serpent to break up/open and web spider to weave [the] to eat from egg their to die and [the] crushed to break up/open viper
They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.
6 web their not to be to/for garment and not to cover in/on/with deed: work their deed: work their deed: work evil: wickedness and work violence in/on/with palm their
Their twisted threads will not make clothing, and their works will give them nothing for covering themselves: their works are works of sin, and violent acts are in their hands.
7 foot their to/for bad: evil to run: run and to hasten to/for to pour: kill blood innocent plot their plot evil: wickedness violence and breaking in/on/with highway their
Their feet go quickly to evil, and they take delight in the death of the upright; their thoughts are thoughts of sin; wasting and destruction are in their ways.
8 way: conduct peace not to know and nothing justice in/on/with track their path their to twist to/for them all to tread in/on/with her not to know peace
They have no knowledge of the way of peace, and there is no sense of what is right in their behaviour: they have made for themselves ways which are not straight; whoever goes in them has no knowledge of peace.
9 upon so to remove justice from us and not to overtake us righteousness to await to/for light and behold darkness to/for brightness in/on/with darkness to go: walk
For this cause our right is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us: we are looking for light, but there is only the dark; for the shining of the sun, but our way is in the night.
10 to grope like/as blind wall and like/as nothing eye to grope to stumble in/on/with midday like/as twilight in/on/with strong like/as to die
We go on our way, like blind men feeling for the wall, even like those who have no eyes: we are running against things in daylight as if it was evening; our place is in the dark like dead men.
11 to roar like/as bear all our and like/as dove to mutter to mutter to await to/for justice and nothing to/for salvation to remove from us
We make noises of grief, like bears, and sad sounds like doves: we are looking for our right, but it is not there; for salvation, but it is far from us.
12 for to multiply transgression our before you and sin our to answer in/on/with us for transgression our with us and iniquity: crime our to know them
For our evil doings are increased before you, and our sins give witness against us: for our evil doings are with us, and we have knowledge of our sins:
13 to transgress and to deceive in/on/with LORD and to remove from after God our to speak: speak oppression and revolt to conceive and to mutter from heart word deception
We have gone against the Lord, and been false to him, turning away from our God, our words have been uncontrolled, and in our hearts are thoughts of deceit.
14 and to remove back justice and righteousness from distant to stand: stand for to stumble in/on/with street/plaza truth: true and upright not be able to/for to come (in): come
And the right is turned back, and righteousness is far away: for good faith is not to be seen in the public places, and upright behaviour may not come into the town.
15 and to be [the] truth: true to lack and to turn aside: depart from bad: evil to loot and to see: see LORD and be evil in/on/with eye: appearance his for nothing justice
Yes, faith is gone; and he whose heart is turned from evil comes into the power of the cruel: and the Lord saw it, and he was angry that there was no one to take up their cause.
16 and to see: see for nothing man: anyone and be desolate: appalled for nothing to fall on and to save to/for him arm his and righteousness his he/she/it to support him
And he saw that there was no man, and was surprised that there was no one to take up their cause: so his arm gave salvation, and he made righteousness his support.
17 and to clothe righteousness like/as armor and helmet salvation in/on/with head his and to clothe garment vengeance clothing and to enwrap like/as robe jealousy
Yes, he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and salvation as a head-dress; and he put on punishment as clothing, and wrath as a robe.
18 like/as upon recompense like/as upon to complete rage to/for enemy his recompense to/for enemy his to/for coastland recompense to complete
He will give them the right reward of their doings, wrath to his attackers, punishment to his haters, and even on the sea-lands he will send punishment.
19 and to fear: revere from west [obj] name LORD and from east sun [obj] glory his for to come (in): come like/as river narrow spirit: breath LORD to flee in/on/with him
So they will see the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the east: for he will come like a rushing stream, forced on by a wind of the Lord.
20 and to come (in): come to/for Zion to redeem: redeem and to/for to return: repent transgression in/on/with Jacob utterance LORD
And as a saviour he will come to Zion, turning away sin from Jacob, says the Lord.
21 and I this covenant my with them to say LORD spirit my which upon you and word my which to set: put in/on/with lip your not to remove from lip your and from lip seed: children your and from lip seed: children seed: children your to say LORD from now and till forever: enduring
And as for me, this is my agreement with them, says the Lord: my spirit which is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, will not go away from your mouth, or from the mouth of your seed, or from the mouth of your seed's seed, says the Lord, from now and for ever.
