Isaija 59
1 Gle, nije okraèala ruka Gospodnja da ne može spasti, niti je otežalo uho njegovo da ne može èuti.
Lo, the hand of Jehovah Hath not been shortened from saving, Nor heavy his ear from hearing.
2 Nego bezakonja vaša rastaviše vas s Bogom vašim, i grijesi vaši zakloniše lice njegovo od vas, da ne èuje.
But your iniquities have been separating Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you — from hearing.
3 Jer su ruke vaše oskvrnjene krvlju i prsti vaši bezakonjem; usne vaše govore laž i jezik vaš izrièe opaèinu.
For your hands have been polluted with blood, And your fingers with iniquity, Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue perverseness doth mutter.
4 Nema nikoga da vièe za pravdu, niti ima koga da se pre za istinu; uzdaju se u ništavilo, i govore laž; zaèinju nevolju, i raðaju muku.
There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity.
5 Nose jaja aspidina i tkaju pauèinu; ko pojede jaje njihovo umre, i ako koje razbije, ižljeze guja.
Eggs of a viper they have hatched, And webs of a spider they weave, Whoso is eating their eggs doth die, And the crushed hatcheth a viper.
6 Platno njihovo nije za haljine, niti æe se oni odjesti svojim poslom; posao je njihov bezakonje i u rukama je njihovijem nasilje.
Their webs become not a garment, Nor do they cover themselves with their works, Their works [are] works of iniquity, And a deed of violence [is] in their hands.
7 Noge im trèe na zlo i brze su na proljevanje krvi prave; misli su njihove bezakonje; na putovima je njihovijem pustoš i rasap.
Their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed innocent blood, Their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity, Spoiling and destruction [are] in their highways.
8 Puta mirnoga ne znaju, i na putovima njihovijem nema pravde; naèinili su sebi krive staze; ko god ide po njima, ne zna za mir.
A way of peace they have not known, And there is no judgment in their paths, Their paths they have made perverse for themselves, No treader in it hath known peace.
9 Zato je sud daleko od nas, i pravda ne dolazi do nas; èekamo vidjelo, a ono, eto mrak; svjetlost, a ono hodimo po tami.
Therefore hath judgment been far from us, And righteousness reacheth us not, We wait for light, and lo, darkness, For brightness — in thick darkness we go,
10 Pipamo kao slijepci zid, kao oni koji nemaju oèiju pipamo; spotièemo se u podne kao u sumraèje; u obilju smo kao mrtvi.
We feel like the blind [for] the wall, Yea, as without eyes we feel, We have stumbled at noon as at twilight, In desolate places as the dead.
11 Rièemo svikoliki kao medvjedi, i jednako uèemo kao golubice; èekamo sud, a njega nema, spasenje, a ono je daleko od nas.
We make a noise as bears — all of us, And as doves we coo sorely; We wait for judgment, and there is none, For salvation — it hath been far from us.
12 Jer se prijestupi naši umnožiše pred tobom i grijesi naši svjedoèe na nas; jer su prijestupi naši kod nas i bezakonja svoja znamo,
For our transgressions have been multiplied before Thee, And our sins have testified against us, For our transgressions [are] with us, And our iniquities — we have known them.
13 Da nevjeru uèinismo i slagasmo Gospodu, i otstupismo od Boga svojega, govorismo o nasilju i odmetu, da sastavljasmo i iznosismo iz srca rijeèi lažne.
Transgressing, and lying against Jehovah, And removing from after our God, Speaking oppression and apostasy, Conceiving and uttering from the heart Words of falsehood.
14 Zato sud otstupi natrag, i pravda stoji daleko; jer istina pade na ulici i pravda ne može da proðe.
And removed backward is judgment, And righteousness afar off standeth, For truth hath been feeble in the street, And straightforwardness is not able to enter,
15 I istine je nestalo, i ko se uklanja oda zla, postaje plijen. To vidje Gospod, i ne bi mu milo što nema suda.
And the truth is lacking, And whoso is turning aside from evil, Is making himself a spoil. And Jehovah seeth, and it is evil in His eyes, That there is no judgment.
16 I vidje gdje nema èovjeka, i zaèudi se što nema posrednika; zato uèini mu spasenje mišica njegova, i pravda njegova poduprije ga.
And He seeth that there is no man, And is astonished that there is no intercessor, And His own arm giveth salvation to Him, And His righteousness — it sustained Him.
17 Jer se obuèe u pravdu kao u oklop, i šljem spasenja metnu na glavu; odjede se osvetom kao odijelom, i ogrte se revnošæu kao plaštem.
And He putteth on righteousness as a breastplate, And an helmet of salvation on His head, And He putteth on garments of vengeance [for] clothing, And is covered, as [with] an upper-robe, [with] zeal.
18 Po djelima, po djelima da vrati gnjev protivnicima svojim, platu neprijateljima svojim, ostrvima da plati.
According to deeds — so He repayeth. Fury to His adversaries, [their] deed to His enemies, To the isles [their] deed He repayeth.
19 I bojaæe se imena Gospodnjega sa zapada, i slave njegove s istoka sunèanoga; jer æe neprijatelj navaliti kao rijeka, a duh æe Gospodnji podignuti zastavu suprot njemu.
And they fear from the west the name of Jehovah, And from the rising of the sun — His honour, When come in as a flood doth an adversary, The Spirit of Jehovah hath raised an ensign against him.
20 I doæi æe izbavitelj u Sion i k onima od Jakova koji se obraæaju od grijeha, veli Gospod.
And come to Zion hath a redeemer, Even to captives of transgression in Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.
21 A ovo æe biti zavjet moj s njima, veli Gospod: duh moj, koji je u tebi, i rijeèi moje, koje metnuh u usta tvoja, neæe otiæi od usta tvojih ni od usta sjemena tvojega, ni od usta sjemena sjemena tvojega, veli Gospod, otsele i dovijeka.
And I — this [is] My covenant with them, said Jehovah, My Spirit that [is] on thee, And My words that I have put in thy mouth, Depart not from thy mouth, And from the mouth of thy seed, And from the mouth of thy seed's seed, said Jehovah, From henceforth unto the age!
