1O da bi predrl nebesa in prišel doli, da bi se od obličja tvojega raztopile gore
1Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence,
2(kakor ogenj požiga protje in voda vre od ognja), da oznaniš ime svoje nasprotnikom svojim, da bi strepetali narodi pred obličjem tvojim,
2as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
3s tem, da delaš strahovite reči, ki jih nismo pričakovali; o da stopiš doli, da bi se od obličja tvojega raztopile gore!
3When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
4Zakaj od veka se ni slišalo, nikdar niso čula ušesa, tudi oko ni videlo Boga razen tebe, ki bi toliko delal za njega, ki ga čaka.
4For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
5Naproti prihajaš njemu, ki se veseli pravičnosti in ji streže, njim, ki se spominjajo tebe na potih svojih. Glej, ti si se srdil, in mi smo grešili; v tem smo že dolgo časa, bomo li rešeni?
5You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time; and shall we be saved?
6In vsi vkup smo postali kakor neznažnik in vse pravičnosti naše so kakor umazana cunja; in venemo kakor listje, kolikorkoli nas je in krivice naše nas odnašajo kakor veter.
6For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7In ni ga, ki bi klical ime tvoje, ki bi se zbudil, da se poprime tebe; kajti skril si obličje svoje pred nami in nas izročil oblasti krivic naših.
7There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
8Ali sedaj, o GOSPOD, ti si oče naš; mi smo glina, ti pa si nam lončar, in vsi smo tvoje roke delo.
8But now, Yahweh, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
9Ne togóti se, o GOSPOD, presilno in ne spominjaj se vekomaj krivice! Glej, ozri se na nas, prosimo, mi vsi smo ljudstvo tvoje.
9Don’t be furious, Yahweh, neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg you, we are all your people.
10Mesta svetosti tvoje so puščava, Sion je puščava, Jeruzalem je pustinja.
10Your holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11Sveta in prekrasna hiša naša, ki so te v njej hvalili očetje naši, je požgana z ognjem in vse, kar nam je bilo dragoceno, je v razvalinah.Hočeš li, o GOSPOD, ob toliki revi v sebi zadržavati usmiljenje, boš li molčal in nas tepel presilno?
11Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
12Hočeš li, o GOSPOD, ob toliki revi v sebi zadržavati usmiljenje, boš li molčal in nas tepel presilno?
12Will you refrain yourself for these things, Yahweh? Will you hold your peace, and afflict us very severely?
