Esias 64

1 If you would open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from you, and they shall melt,

Oh, da bi pretrgal nebo, da bi prišel dol, da bi gore lahko tekle ob tvoji prisotnosti,

2 as wax melts before the fire; and fire shall burn up the enemies, and your name shall be manifest amongst the adversaries: at your presence the nations shall be troubled,

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!

3 whenever you shall work gloriously; trembling from you shall take hold upon the mountains.

Ko si delal strašne stvari, ki jih nismo pričakovali, si prišel dol, gore so tekle ob tvoji prisotnosti.

4 From of old we have not heard, neither have our eyes seen a God beside you, and your works which you will perform to them that wait for mercy.

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.

5 For [these blessings] shall happen to them that work righteousness, and they shall remember your ways: behold, you were angry and we have sinned; therefore we have erred,

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.

6 and we are all become as unclean, and all our righteousness as a filthy rag: and we have fallen as leaves because of our iniquities; thus the wind shall carry us [away].

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.

7 And there is none that calls upon your name, or that remembers to take hold on you: for you have turned your face away from us, and have delivered us up because of our sins.

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.

8 And now, O Lord, you are our Father, and we are clay, all [of us] the work of your hands.

Toda sedaj, oh Gospod, si ti naš oče. Mi smo ilo in ti naš lončar in mi vsi smo delo tvojih rok.

9 Be not very angry with us, and remember not our sins for ever; but now look on [us], for we are all your people.

Ne bodi zelo boleče ogorčen, oh Gospod niti se ne spominjaj krivičnosti na veke. Glej, preišči, rotimo te, mi vsi smo tvoje ljudstvo.

10 The city of your holiness has become desolate, Sion has become as a wilderness, Jerusalem a curse.

Tvoja sveta mesta so divjina, Sion je divjina, Jeruzalem opustošenje.

11 The house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burnt with fire: and all our glorious things have gone to ruin.

Naša sveta in naša krasna hiša, kjer so te naši očetje hvalili, je požgana z ognjem in vse naše prijetne stvari so opustošene.

12 And for all these things you, O Lord, has withholden, yourself, and been silent, and have brought us very low.

Mar se boš zadrževal zaradi teh stvari, oh Gospod? Mar boš molčal in nas zelo boleče prizadel?
