Izaija 59
1 Glej, Gospodova roka ni skrajšana, da ne more rešiti niti njegovo uho zamašeno, da ne more slišati,
Has the hand of the Lord no power to save? or has he made his ear heavy, so that he should not hear?
2 temveč so vaše krivičnosti ločile med vami in vašim Bogom in vaši grehi so skrili njegov obraz pred vami, da ne bi slišal.
Nay, your iniquities separate between you and God, and because of your sins has he turned away [his] face from you, so as not to have mercy [upon you].
3 Kajti vaše roke so omadeževane s krvjo in vaši prsti s krivičnostjo, vaše ustnice so govorile laži, vaš jezik je mrmral perverznost.
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with sins; your lips also have spoken iniquity, and your tongue meditates unrighteousness.
4 Nihče ne kliče za pravico niti se kdorkoli ne poteguje za resnico. Zaupajo v ničnost in govorijo laži, spočnejo vragolijo in obrodijo krivičnost.
None speaks justly, neither is there true judgement: they trust in vanities, and speak empty [words]; for they conceive trouble, and bring forth iniquity.
5 Valijo jajca strupene kače in tkejo pajkovo mrežo. Kdor od njihovih jajc jé, umira in to, kar je zdrobljeno, se izvali v gada.
They have hatched asps' eggs, and weave a spider's web: and he that is going to eat of their eggs, having crushed an addled egg, has found also in it a basilisk.
6 Njihove mreže ne bodo postale obleke niti se ne bodo pokrili s svojimi deli. Njihova dela so dela krivičnosti in dejanje nasilja je v njihovih rokah.
Their web shall not become a garment, nor shall they at all clothe themselves with their works; for their works are works of iniquity.
7 Njihova stopala tečejo k zlu in hitijo, da prelijejo nedolžno kri. Njihove misli so misli krivičnosti; pustošenje in uničenje sta na njihovih stezah.
And their feet run to wickedness, swift to shed blood; their thoughts also are thoughts of murder; destruction and misery are in their ways;
8 Poti miru ne poznajo in na njihovih poteh ni sodbe. Naredili so si sprijene steze. Kdorkoli tam hodi, ne bo poznal miru.
and the way of peace they know not, neither is there judgement in their ways; for their paths by which they go are crooked, and they know not peace.
9 Zato je sodba daleč od nas niti nas pravica ne doseže. Čakamo na svetlobo, toda glej, nejasnost; na sijaj, toda hodimo v temi.
Therefore has judgement departed from them, and righteousness shall not overtake them: while they waited for light, darkness came upon them; while they waited for brightness, they walked in perplexity.
10 Tipamo za zidom kakor slepi in tipamo, kakor ne bi imeli oči. Spotikamo se opoldan kakor ponoči, na zapuščenih krajih smo kakor mrtvi možje.
They shall feel for the wall as blind [men], and shall feel [for it] as if they had no eyes: and they shall feel at noon-day as at midnight; they shall groan as dying men.
11 Vsi rjovemo kakor medvedje in boleče žalujemo kakor golobice. Pričakujemo sodbo, toda ni je; rešitev duš, toda ta je daleč od nas.
They shall proceed together as a bear and as a dove: we have waited for judgement, and there is no salvation, it is gone far from us.
12 Kajti naši prestopki so pomnoženi pred teboj in naši grehi pričujejo zoper nas. Naši prestopki so z nami in glede naših krivičnosti, mi jih poznamo:
For our iniquity is great before you, and our sins have risen up against us: for our iniquities are in us, and we know our unrighteous deeds.
13 prestopanje in laganje zoper Gospoda in odhajanje proč od našega Boga, govorjenje zatiranja in punta, spočenjanje in izgovarjanje besed neresnice iz srca.
We have sinned, and dealt falsely, and revolted from our God: we have spoken unrighteous words, and have been disobedient; we have conceived and uttered from our heart unrighteous words.
14 Sodba je odvrnjena nazaj in pravica stoji daleč proč, kajti resnica je padla na ulici in nepristranskost ne more vstopiti.
And we have turned judgement back, and righteousness has departed afar off: for truth is consumed in their ways, and they could not pass by a straight [path].
15 Da, resnica peša in tisti, ki odhaja od zla, se izpostavlja za plen in Gospod je to videl in to ga je razžalilo, da ni bilo sodbe.
And truth has been taken away, and they have turned aside [their] mind from understanding. And the Lord saw it, and it pleased him not that there was no judgement.
16 Videl je, da ni bilo nobenega človeka in se čudil, da ni bilo nobenega posredovalca, zato mu je njegov laket prinesel rešitev duše in njegova pravičnost ga je podpirala.
And he looked, and there was no man, and he observed, and there was none to help: so he defended them with his arm, and established [them] with [his] mercy.
17 Kajti nadel si je pravičnost kakor prsni oklep in na svojo glavo čelado rešitve duš in za oblačila si je nadel obleke maščevanja in z gorečnostjo je bil odet kakor z ogrinjalom.
And he put on righteousness as a breast-plate, and placed the helmet of salvation on his head; and he clothed himself with the garment of vengeance, and with his cloak,
18 Glede na njihova dejanja bo primerno poplačal: razjarjenost svojim nasprotnikom, povračilo svojim sovražnikom, otokom bo poplačal povračilo.
as one about to render a recompence, [even] reproach to his adversaries.
19 Tako se bodo bali Gospodovega imena od zahoda in njegove slave od sončnega vzhoda. Ko bo sovražnik vstopil kot povodenj, bo Gospodov duh dvignil prapor zoper njega.
So shall they of the west fear the name of the Lord, and they [that come] from the rising of the sun his glorious name: for the wrath of the Lord shall come as a mighty river, it shall come with fury.
20 Odkupitelj bo prišel na Sion in k tistim, ki se obračajo od prestopka v Jakobu, ‹ govori Gospod.
And the deliverer shall come for Sion's sake, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
21 ›Kar se tiče mene, to je moja zaveza z njimi, ‹ govori Gospod: ›Moj duh, ki je na tebi in moje besede, ki sem ti jih položil v tvoja usta, ne bodo odšle iz tvojih ust niti iz ust tvojega semena niti iz ust semena tvojega semena, ‹ govori Gospod, ›od tega časa naprej in na veke.
And this shall be my covenant with them, said the Lord; My Spirit which is upon you, and the words which I have put in your mouth, shall never fail from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your seed, for the Lord has spoken it, henceforth and for ever.
