Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence—
O da bi razdro nebesa i sišao, da se rastope gore od tebe,
2 as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the water to boil. Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
Kao što se na ognju razgori granje i voda uzavri od ognja, da ime tvoje poznadu neprijatelji tvoji i da narodi drkæu od tebe.
3 When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your presence.
Kad si èinio strahote kojima se ne nadasmo, ti si slazio, i gore se rastapahu od tebe.
4 For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
Otkako je vijeka ne èu se, niti se ušima dozna, niti oko vidje Boga osim tebe da bi tako uèinio onima koji ga èekaju.
5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time. Shall we be saved?
Sretao si onoga koji se raduje tvoreæi pravdu; pominju te na putovima tvojim; gle, ti si se razgnjevio što griješismo; da na njima jednako ostasmo, bismo se spasli.
6 For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
Ali svi bijasmo kao neèisto što, i sva naša pravda kao neèista haljina; zato opadosmo svi kao list, i bezakonja naša kao vjetar odnesoše nas.
7 There is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
Nikoga ne bi da priziva ime tvoje, da ustane da se tebe drži, jer si sakrio lice svoje od nas i rastopio si nas bezakonjem našim.
8 But now, LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.
Ali sada, Gospode, ti si naš otac; mi smo kao, a ti si naš lonèar, i svi smo djelo ruku tvojih.
9 Don’t be furious, LORD. Don’t remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your people.
Gospode, ne gnjevi se veoma, i ne pominji dovijeka bezakonja; evo, pogledaj; mi smo svi tvoj narod.
10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Gradovi svetosti tvoje opustješe; Sion opustje, Jerusalim posta pustoš.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house where our fathers praised you is burned with fire. All our pleasant places are laid waste.
Dom naše svetinje i naše krasote, u kom te slaviše oci naši, izgorje ognjem, i sve što nam bješe drago potrveno je.
12 Will you hold yourself back for these things, LORD? Will you keep silent and punish us very severely?
Hoæeš li se na to uzdržati, Gospode, i muèati, i jednako nas muèiti?
