절Good News Translation (1992)King James Version
1
The Prophet Condemns the People's Sins
Don't think that the Lord is too weak to save you or too deaf to hear your call for help!
Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
2 It is because of your sins that he doesn't hear you. It is your sins that separate you from God when you try to worship him. But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
3 You are guilty of lying, violence, and murder. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
4 You go to court, but you do not have justice on your side. You depend on lies to win your case. You carry out your plans to hurt others. None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
5 — They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
6 The evil plots you make are as deadly as the eggs of a poisonous snake. Crush an egg, out comes a snake! But your plots will do you no good—they are as useless as clothing made of cobwebs! Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
7 You are always planning something evil, and you can hardly wait to do it. You never hesitate to murder innocent people. You leave ruin and destruction wherever you go, Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
8 and no one is safe when you are around. Everything you do is unjust. You follow a crooked path, and no one who walks that path will ever be safe. The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
9
The People Confess Their Sin
The people say, “Now we know why God does not save us from those who oppress us. We hope for light to walk by, but there is only darkness,
Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
10 and we grope about like blind people. We stumble at noon, as if it were night, as if we were in the dark world of the dead. We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
11 We are frightened and distressed. We long for God to save us from oppression and wrong, but nothing happens. We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
12 “Lord, our crimes against you are many. Our sins accuse us. We are well aware of them all. For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
13 We have rebelled against you, rejected you, and refused to follow you. We have oppressed others and turned away from you. Our thoughts are false; our words are lies. In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 Justice is driven away, and right cannot come near. Truth stumbles in the public square, and honesty finds no place there. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
15 There is so little honesty that those who stop doing evil find themselves the victims of crime.” The Lord has seen this, and he is displeased that there is no justice. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
16
The Prepares to Rescue His People
He is astonished to see that there is no one to help the oppressed. So he will use his own power to rescue them and to win the victory.
And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
17 He will wear justice like a coat of armor and saving power like a helmet. He will clothe himself with the strong desire to set things right and to punish and avenge the wrongs that people suffer. For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
18 He will punish his enemies according to what they have done, even those who live in distant lands. According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
19 From east to west everyone will fear him and his great power. He will come like a rushing river, like a strong wind. So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
20 The Lord says to his people, “I will come to Jerusalem to defend you and to save all of you that turn from your sins. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.
21 And I make a covenant with you: I have given you my power and my teachings to be yours forever, and from now on you are to obey me and teach your children and your descendants to obey me for all time to come.” As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
