Isaiah 64
1 “[Yahweh], I wish that you would tear open the sky and come down, and cause the mountains to shake in your presence.
О да би раздро небеса и сишао, да се растопе горе од Тебе,
2 [Be] like a fire that burns twigs and causes water to boil! [Come down] in order that your enemies will know who you are, and the [people of other] nations will tremble in your presence.
Као што се на огњу разгори грање и вода узаври од огња, да име Твоје познају непријатељи Твоји и да народи дрхћу од Тебе.
3 You have done awesome things which we were not expecting you to do; the mountains shook when you came down [at Horeb Mountain].
Кад си чинио страхоте којима се не надасмо, Ти си силазио, и горе се растапаху од Тебе.
4 Since (long ago/the world began), no one [SYN] has [ever] seen or heard about a God like you; you help those who (depend on/trust in) you.
Откако је века не чу се, нити се ушима дозна, нити око виде Бога осим Тебе да би тако учинио онима који Га чекају.
5 You help those who joyfully do what is right, those who conduct their lives as you want them to. But [we did not do that]; we continued to sin, and so you became angry with us. We have been sinning for a long time, so only if we continually do what you want us to do will we be saved.
Сретао си оног који се радује творећи правду; помињу Те на путевима Твојим; гле, Ти си се разгневио што грешисмо; да на њима једнако остасмо, бисмо се спасли.
6 We have all become people who are not fit to worship you; all of the good things that we have done are only like [SIM] filthy/blood-stained rags. Because of our sins, we are like [SIM] leaves that dry up and are blown away by the wind.
Али сви бејасмо као нечисто шта, и сва наша правда као нечиста хаљина; зато опадосмо сви као лист, и безакоња наша као ветар однесоше нас.
7 None [of our people] worships you, and no one is completely dedicated to [IDM] you. You have turned away from us. [It is as though] you have caused us to be forced to continue our sinful behavior.
Никога не би да призива име Твоје, да устане да се Тебе држи, јер си сакрио лице своје од нас и растопио си нас безакоњем нашим.
8 Yahweh, you are our father. We are [like] [MET] clay, and you created us, [like] [MET] a potter [creates pottery].
Али сада, Господе, Ти си наш Отац; ми смо као, а Ти си наш лончар, и сви смо дело руку Твојих.
9 Yahweh, do not continue to be angry [with us]; do not keep thinking about [our] sins forever. Do not forget that we are all your people.
Господе, не гневи се веома, и не помињи довека безакоње; ево, погледај; ми смо сви Твој народ.
10 [All of] your towns [in Judah] have become like [MET] deserts; [even] Jerusalem has been destroyed.
Градови светости Твоје опустеше; Сион опусте, Јерусалим поста пустош.
11 Your glorious temple on Zion Hill, where our ancestors worshiped you, has been destroyed by fire. And all our [other] beautiful things have been ruined.
Дом наше светиње и наше красоте, у коме Те славише оци наши, изгоре огњем, и све што нам беше драго потрвено је.
12 Yahweh, you see all those things, so we worry that you will refrain [from helping us], and that you will cause us to suffer much more.
Хоћеш ли се на то уздржати, Господе, и ћутати, и једнако нас мучити?
