Izaija 59

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ne, nije ruka Jahvina prekratka da spasi, niti mu je uho otvrdlo da ne bi čuo,	1 Lo, the hand of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.
2 nego su opačine vaše jaz otvorile između vas i Boga vašega. Vaši su grijesi lice njegovo zastrli, i on vas više ne sluša.	2 Rather, it is your crimes that separate you from your God, It is your sins that make him hide his face so that he will not hear you.
3 Jer ruke su vaše u krvi ogrezle, a vaši prsti u zločinima. Usne vam izgovaraju laž, a jezik podlost mrmlja.	3 For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt; Your lips speak falsehood, and your tongue utters deceit.
4 Nitko s pravom tužbu ne podiže, niti koga sude po istini. U ništavilo se uzdaju, laž kazuju, začinju zloću, a rađaju bezakonje.	4 No one brings suit justly, no one pleads truthfully; They trust in emptiness and tell lies; they conceive mischief and bring forth malice.
5 Legu jaja gujina, tkaju mrežu paukovu; pojede li tko njihovo jaje, umire, razbije li ga, iz njega ljutica izlazi.	5 They hatch adders' eggs, and weave spiders' webs: Whoever eats their eggs will die, if one of them is pressed, it will hatch as a viper;
6 Njihovim tkanjem nemoguće se odjenuti, ne možeš se pokriti njihovom rukotvorinom. Rukotvorine su njihove djela zločinačka, rukama svojim čine nasilje.	6 Their webs cannot serve as clothing, nor can they cover themselves with their works. Their works are evil works, and deeds of violence come from their hands.
7 Noge njihove u zlo hitaju i brze su da krv nevinu proliju. Misli su im misli zločinačke, pustoš i propast na njinim su putima.	7 Their feet run to evil, and they are quick to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are destructive thoughts, plunder and ruin are on their highways.
8 Put mira oni ne poznaju, na stazama njihovim nema pravice. Iskrivili su svoje putove, tko njima kreće, mira ne poznaje.	8 The way of peace they know not, and there is nothing that is right in their paths; Their ways they have made crooked, whoever treads them knows no peace.
9 Stog se právo od nas udaljilo, zato pravda ne dopire do nas. Nadasmo se svjetlosti, a ono tama; i vidjelu, a ono u tmini hodimo.	9 That is why right is far from us and justice does not reach us. We look for light, and lo, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in gloom!
10 Pipamo kao slijepci duž zida, tapkamo kao bez očiju. Spotičemo se u podne k’o u sumraku, sasvim zdravi, kao da smo mrtvi.	10 Like blind men we grope along the wall, like people without eyes we feel our way. We stumble at midday as at dusk, in Stygian darkness, like the dead.
11 Svi mumljamo kao medvjedi i gučemo tužno kao golubovi. Očekivasmo sud, a njega nema, i spasenje – od nas je daleko.	11 We all growl like bears, like doves we moan without ceasing. We look for right, but it is not there; for salvation, and it is far from us.
12 Jer mnogo je naših opačina pred tobom i grijesi naši protiv nas svjedoče. Doista, prijestupi su naši pred nama, mi znademo svoju krivicu;	12 For our offenses before you are many, our sins bear witness against us. Yes, our offenses are present to us, and our crimes we know:
13 pobunili smo se i zanijekali Jahvu, odmetnuli se od Boga svojega, govorili podlo, odmetnički, mrmljali u srcu riječi lažljive.	13 Transgressing, and denying the LORD, turning back from following our God, Threatening outrage, and apostasy, uttering words of falsehood the heart has conceived.
14 Tako je potisnuto pravo, i pravda mora stajati daleko. Jer na trgu posrnu istina i poštenju nema više pristupa.	14 Right is repelled, and justice stands far off; For truth stumbles in the public square, uprightness cannot enter.
15 Vjernosti je ponestalo, a tko izbjegava zlo, bude opljačkan. Jahve vidje, i ne bî mu milo što nema pravice.	15 Honesty is lacking, and the man who turns from evil is despoiled. The LORD saw this, and was aggrieved that right did not exist.
16 Vidje da nema čovjeka, začudi se što nema posrednika. Tad mu pomože njegova mišica i njegova ga pravda poduprije.	16 He saw that there was no one, and was appalled that there was none to intervene; So his own arm brought about the victory, and his justice lent him its support.
17 Pravednost je obukao k’o oklop, stavio na glavu kacigu spasenja. Osvetom se odjenuo k’o haljom, ogrnu se revnošću kao plaštem.	17 He put on justice as his breastplate, salvation, as the helmet on his head; He clothed himself with garments of vengeance, wrapped himself in a mantle of zeal.
18 Vratit će svakome po njegovim djelima: gnjev svojim protivnicima, odmazdu dušmanima.	18 He repays his enemies their deserts, and requites his foes with wrath.
19 Sa zapada vidjet će ime Jahvino i slavu njegovu s istoka sunčanog. Jer doći će kao uska rijeka koju goni dah Jahvin.	19 Those in the west shall fear the name of the LORD, and those in the east, his glory; For it shall come like a pent-up river which the breath of the LORD drives on.
20 Ali doći će otkupitelj Sionu, i onima od sinova Jakovljevih koji se obrate od svog otpadništva, riječ je Jahvina.	20 He shall come to Zion a redeemer to those of Jacob who turn from sin, says the LORD.
21 »A ovo je moj savez s njima«, govori Jahve. »Duh moj koji je na tebi i riječi moje koje stavih u tvoja usta neće izići iz usta tvojih ni usta tvojega potomstva, ni iz usta potomstva tvojih potomaka, od sada pa dovijeka«, veli Jahve.	21 This is the covenant with them which I myself have made, says the LORD: My spirit which is upon you and my words that I have put into your mouth Shall never leave your mouth, nor the mouths of your children Nor the mouths of your children's children from now on and forever, says the LORD.
