Izaija 64
1 Oh, da bi pretrgal nebo, da bi prišel dol, da bi gore lahko tekle ob tvoji prisotnosti,
If only you would rip the heavens apart and come down! The mountains would tremble in your presence!
2 kakor ko topilni ogenj žge, ogenj povzroča vodam, da vrejo, da tvoje ime naredi znano tvojim nasprotnikom, da bodo narodi lahko trepetali ob tvoji prisotnosti!
In the same way that fire burns wood and makes the water boil, make your reputation known to your enemies, so that nations will tremble in your presence!
3 Ko si delal strašne stvari, ki jih nismo pričakovali, si prišel dol, gore so tekle ob tvoji prisotnosti.
In the past you did things we weren't anticipating. You came down and the mountains trembled in your presence!
4 Kajti od začetka sveta ljudje niso slišali niti z ušesom zaznali niti ni oko videlo, oh Bog, razen tebe, kaj je on pripravil za tistega, ki čaka nanj.
Since the beginning, no one has heard about, no one has paid attention to, and no one has seen any God except you, the one who helps those who place their confidence in you.
5 Ti srečaš tistega, ki se razveseljuje in dela pravično, tiste, ki se te spominjajo na tvojih poteh. Glej, besen si, kajti mi smo grešili. V tistih je vztrajanje in mi bomo rešeni.
You join with those who are glad, and with those who do what's right and remember to follow your ways. But when we went on sinning, you became angry. How can we be saved if we go on like this?
6 Toda mi vsi smo kakor nečista stvar in vse naše pravičnosti so kakor umazane cunje in mi vsi venemo kakor list in naše krivičnosti so nas kakor veter odnesle proč.
We've all become unclean, and all the good things we do are like dirty rags. We wither and die like autumn leaves, and our sins, like the wind, blow us away.
7 Nikogar ni, ki kliče k tvojemu imenu, ki se razvnema, da bi se te oprijel. Kajti svoj obraz si skril pred nami in nas použil zaradi naših krivičnosti.
There's no one who calls for you or really wants to hold onto you, because you have hidden your face from us and let us drown in our own sins.
8 Toda sedaj, oh Gospod, si ti naš oče. Mi smo ilo in ti naš lončar in mi vsi smo delo tvojih rok.
But you, Lord, are our Father. We're the clay, you're the potter. You made us all with your own hands.
9 Ne bodi zelo boleče ogorčen, oh Gospod niti se ne spominjaj krivičnosti na veke. Glej, preišči, rotimo te, mi vsi smo tvoje ljudstvo.
Please limit your anger, Lord, and don't remember our sins forever. Look at us, and see that we are all your people.
10 Tvoja sveta mesta so divjina, Sion je divjina, Jeruzalem opustošenje.
Your holy cities have been turned into a wilderness; Zion has become a desert; yes, even Jerusalem is an abandoned ruin.
11 Naša sveta in naša krasna hiša, kjer so te naši očetje hvalili, je požgana z ognjem in vse naše prijetne stvari so opustošene.
Our beautiful, holy Temple where our forefathers praised you has been burned down, and all that we treasured has been destroyed.
12 Mar se boš zadrževal zaradi teh stvari, oh Gospod? Mar boš molčal in nas zelo boleče prizadel?
In view of all this, are you still going to refuse to help us? Are you going to stay quiet and punish us so severely?
