< Isaiah 59 >

1 Listen to this! Yahweh’s power [MTY] is not ended/gone, with the result that he cannot save [you]. He has not become deaf [MTY], with the result that he cannot hear [you when you call to him for help].
여호와의 손이 짧아 구원치 못하심도 아니요 귀가 둔하여 듣지 못하심도 아니라
2 But, you have separated yourselves from your God by the sins that you have committed. Because of your sins, he has turned away from you, with the result that he does not pay attention to what you request him to do.
오직 너희 죄악이 너희와 너희 하나님 사이를 내었고 너희 죄가 그 얼굴을 가리워서 너희를 듣지 않으시게 함이니
3 You do violent things [MTY] [to others], with the result that your hands are stained with their blood. You [constantly] tell [MTY] lies, and you say [MTY] evil things [about others].
이는 너희 손이 피에, 너희 손가락이 죄악에 더러웠으며 너희 입술은 거짓을 말하며 너희 혀는 악독을 발함이라
4 When you accuse someone in court, what you say is not fair and it is not true. You accuse people falsely. You are [constantly] planning to cause trouble for others, and then you do those evil things that you planned.
공의대로 소송하는 자도 없고 진리대로 판결하는 자도 없으며 허망한 것을 의뢰하며 거짓을 말하며 잔해를 잉태하여 죄악을 생산하며
5 What you plan to do to harm people [MET] is as dangerous as the eggs of a (cobra/poisonous snake), because cobras will hatch from those eggs. You trap people like [MET] spiders trap/catch insects in their webs.
독사의 알을 품으며 거미줄을 짜나니 그 알을 먹는 자는 죽을 것이요 그 알이 밟힌즉 터져서 독사가 나올 것이니라
6 We people cannot hide/cover our skin with clothes made of spider webs [MET], and similarly you cannot hide the evil things that you have done. You are [constantly] acting [MTY] violently.
그 짠 것으로는 옷을 이룰 수 없을 것이요 그 행위로는 자기를 가리울 수 없을 것이며 그 행위는 죄악의 행위라 그 손에는 강포한 행습이 있으며
7 You [SYN] are very quick to go and do evil things, and you hurry to murder people [MTY] who are innocent. You are [continually] thinking about sinning. Wherever you go, you destroy things and cause people to suffer.
그 발은 행악하기에 빠르고 무죄한 피를 흘리기에 신속하며 그 사상은 죄악의 사상이라 황폐와 파멸이 그 길에 끼쳐졌으며
8 You do not know how to act peacefully or to treat others fairly. You always are (dishonest/deceiving others) [MET], and those who imitate your behavior never have any inner peace.
그들은 평강의 길을 알지 못하며 그들의 행하는 곳에는 공의가 없으며 굽은 길을 스스로 만드나니 무릇 이 길을 밟는 자는 평강을 알지 못하느니라
9 Because of that, God does not rescue us [from our enemies]; [it seems that] he is not acting fairly/righteously toward us. We expect [God to give us] light, but all [he gives us] is darkness [DOU].
그러므로 공평이 우리에게서 멀고 의가 우리에게 미치지 못한즉 우리가 빛을 바라나 어두움 뿐이요 밝은 것을 바라나 캄캄한 가운데 행하므로
10 We are like [SIM] blind people who have to feel along a wall to be able to walk anywhere. We stumble [and trip] at noontime like [SIM] we would when it is dark. We are like [SIM] dead people who are among healthy people.
우리가 소경같이 담을 더듬으며 눈 없는 자 같이 두루 더듬으며 낮에도 황혼 때 같이 넘어지니 우리는 강장한 자 중에서도 죽은 자 같은지라
11 We growl like [SIM] [hungry] bears; we continually moan like [SIM] doves. We seek [people who do] what is just/fair, but we cannot find any [anywhere]. [We want God] to rescue us, but [it seems that] he is far away.
우리가 곰 같이 부르짖으며 비둘기 같이 슬피 울며 공평을 바라나 없고 구원을 바라나 우리에게서 멀도다
12 [But these things are happening] because [it is as though] our sins are piled high in the presence of God, and that they testify [PRS] against us. We cannot deny it; we know that we have done many wrong things.
대저 우리의 허물이 주의 앞에 심히 많으며 우리의 죄가 우리를 쳐서 증거하오니 이는 우리의 허물이 우리와 함께 있음이라 우리의 죄악을 우리가 아나이다
13 [We know that] we have rebelled against Yahweh; we have turned away from him. We (oppress people/treat people cruelly) by what we testify [against them]; we do not allow them to get what they have a right to get. We [SYN] think about the lies that we can tell, and then we tell them.
우리가 여호와를 배반하고 인정치 아니하며 우리 하나님을 좇는데서 돌이켜 포학과 패역을 말하며 거짓말을 마음에 잉태하여 발하니
14 [In our courts, the judges] do not decide cases/matters fairly; no one is acting righteously. In plazas where people gather together, no one tells the truth [PRS]; [it seems that people] are not allowed to say what is true.
공평이 뒤로 물리침이 되고 의가 멀리 섰으며 성실이 거리에 엎드러지고 정직이 들어가지 못하는도다
15 No one tells the truth, and people try to ruin [the reputations of] those who quit doing evil. Yahweh looked around, and he saw that no one was doing what is just/fair, and he was [very] displeased.
성실이 없어지므로 악을 떠나는 자가 탈취를 당하는도다 여호와께서 이를 감찰하시고 그 공평이 없은 것을 기뻐 아니하시고
16 He was disgusted when he saw that no one tried to help [those who were being treated cruelly]. So he used his own power [MTY] to rescue them; it is because he is always righteous that he did that [PRS].
사람이 없음을 보시며 중재자 없음을 이상히 여기셨으므로 자기팔로 스스로 구원을 베푸시며 자기의 의를 스스로 의지하사
17 [It is as though he is a soldier who] [MET] puts on his armor and a helmet; his continually doing what is right is like [MET] his armor, and his ability to rescue people is [like] his helmet. His being extremely angry and his being ready to get revenge [on those who do evil] are like [MET] his robes.
의로 호심경을 삼으시며 구원을 그 머리에 써서 투구를 삼으시고 보수로 옷을 삼으시며 열심을 입어 겉옷을 삼으시고
18 He will repay his enemies for the evil things that they have done. He will severely punish [MTY] even those who live far [from Jerusalem].
그들의 행위대로 갚으시되 그 대적에게 분노하시며 그 원수에게 보응하시며 섬들에게 보복하실 것이라
19 When that happens, people everywhere, from the east to the west, will respect and honor Yahweh [MTY], because he will come like [SIM] a rushing river that is pushed along by the strong wind that Yahweh sent.
서방에서 여호와의 이름을 두려워하겠고 해돋는 편에서 그 기운에 몰려 급히 흐르는 하수 같이 오실 것임이로다
20 And Yahweh says that he will come to Jerusalem to free [his people]; he will come to rescue those in Judah who have quit (doing sinful things/their sinful behavior).
여호와께서 가라사대 구속자가 시온에 임하며 야곱 중에 죄과를 떠나는 자에게 임하리라
21 This is what Yahweh says to his people: “This is the agreement that I will make with you: My Spirit will not leave you, and you will always have my message. You will [be able to] declare it [MTY], and your children and grandchildren will [be able to] declare it forever.”
여호와께서 또 가라사대 내가 그들과 세운 나의 언약이 이러하니 곧 네 위에 있는 나의 신과 네 입에 둔 나의 말이 이제부터 영영토록 네 입에서와 네 후손의 입에서와 네 후손의 입에서 떠나지 아니하리라 하시니라 여호와의 말씀이니라
