< Izaija 57 >

1 Pravednik gine, i nitko ne mari. Uklanjaju ljude pobožne, i nitko ne shvaća. Da, zbog zla uklonjen je pravednik
The righteous perisheth, and no man considereth it in heart: and mercifull men are taken away, and no man vnderstandeth that the righteous is taken away from the euill to come.
2 da bi ušao u mir. Tko god je pravim putem hodio počiva na svom ležaju.
Peace shall come: they shall rest in their beds, euery one that walketh before him.
3 Pristupite sad, sinovi vračarini, leglo preljubničko i bludničko!
But you witches children, come hither, the seede of the adulterer and of the whore.
4 S kim se podrugujete, na koga razvaljujete usta i komu jezik plazite? Niste li vi porod grešan i leglo lažljivo?
On whome haue ye iested? vpon whome haue ye gaped and thrust out your tongue? are not ye rebellious children, and a false seede?
5 Vi koji se raspaljujete među hrašćem, pod svakim zelenim drvetom, žrtvujući djecu u dolinama i u rasjelinama stijena!
Inflamed with idoles vnder euery greene tree? and sacrificing the children in the valleys vnder the tops of the rocks?
6 Dio je tvoj među oblucima potočnim, oni, oni su baština tvoja. Njima izlijevaš ljevanicu, njima prinosiš darove! Zar da se time ja utješim?
Thy portion is in the smooth stones of the riuer: they, they are thy lot: euen to them hast thou powred a drinke offering: thou hast offered a sacrifice. Should I delite in these?
7 Na gori visokoj, uzdignutoj, svoj si ležaj postavila i popela se onamo da prinosiš žrtvu klanicu.
Thou hast made thy bed vpon a very hie mountaine: thou wentest vp thither, euen thither wentest thou to offer sacrifice.
8 Za vrata i dovratke metnula si spomen svoj; daleko od mene svoj ležaj raskrivaš, penješ se na nj i širiš ga. Pogađala si se s onima s kojima si voljela lijegati, sve si više bludničila s njima gledajuć' im mušku snagu.
Behinde the doores also and postes hast thou set vp thy remembrance: for thou hast discouered thy selfe to another then me, and wentest vp, and diddest enlarge thy bed, and make a couenant betweene thee and them, and louedst their bed in euery place where thou sawest it.
9 S uljem za Molekom trčiš, s pomastima mnogim, nadaleko posla glasnike svoje, strovali ih u Podzemlje. (Sheol h7585)
Thou wentest to the Kings with oyle, and diddest increase thine oyntments and sende thy messengers farre off, and diddest humble thy selfe vnto hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 Iscrpljena si od tolikih lutanja, al' nisi rekla: “Beznadno je!” Snagu si svoju nanovo našla te nisi sustala.
Thou weariedst thy selfe in thy manifolde iourneys, yet saydest thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found life by thine hand, therefore thou wast not grieued.
11 Koga si se uplašila i pobojala da si se iznevjerila, da se više nisi mene spominjala, niti si me k srcu uzimala? Šutio sam, zatvarao oči, zato me se nisi bojala.
And whome diddest thou reuerence or feare, seeing thou hast lyed vnto me, and hast not remembred me, neither set thy minde thereon? is it not because I holde my peace, and that of long time? therefore thou fearest not me.
12 Ali ću objavit' o tvojoj pravdi i djela ti tvoja neće koristiti.
I will declare thy righteousnes and thy workes, and they shall not profite thee.
13 Kad uzmeš vikati, nek' te izbave kipovi koje si skupila, sve će ih vjetar raznijeti, vihor će ih otpuhnuti. A tko se u me uzda, baštinit će zemlju i zaposjest će svetu goru moju.
When thou cryest, let them that thou hast gathered together deliuer thee: but the winde shall take them all away: vanitie shall pull them away: but he that trusteth in me, shall inherite the lande, and shall possesse mine holy Mountaine.
14 Govorit će se: Naspite, naspite, poravnajte put! Uklonite zapreke s puta mog naroda!
And he shall say, Cast vp, cast vp: prepare the way: take vp the stumbling blocks out of the way of my people.
15 Jer ovako govori Višnji i Uzvišeni, koji vječno stoluje i ime mu je Sveti: “U prebivalištu visokom i svetom stolujem, ali ja sam i s potlačenim i poniženim, da oživim duh smjernih, da oživim srca skrušenih.
For thus sayth he that is hie and excellent, he that inhabiteth the eternitie, whose Name is the Holy one, I dwell in the high and holy place: with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirite to reuiue the spirite of the humble, and to giue life to them that are of a contrite heart.
16 Jer neću se prepirati dovijeka ni vječno se ljutiti: preda mnom bi podlegao duh i duše što sam ih stvorio.
For I will not contende for euer, neither will I be alwayes wroth, for the spirite should fayle before me: and I haue made the breath.
17 Zbog grijeha lakomosti njegove razgnjevih se, udarih ga i sakrih se rasrđen. Ali on okrenu za srcem svojim
For his wicked couetousnesse I am angry with him, and haue smitten him: I hid mee and was angry, yet he went away, and turned after the way of his owne heart.
18 i vidjeh putove njegove. Izliječit ću ga, voditi i utješit' one što s njime tuguju -
I haue seene his wayes, and wil heale him: I wil leade him also, and restore comfort vnto him, and to those that lament him.
19 stavit ću hvalu na usne njihove. Mir, mir onom tko je daleko i tko je blizu,” govori Jahve, “ja ću te izliječiti.”
I create the fruite of the lips, to be peace: peace vnto them that are farre off, and to them that are neere, sayth the Lord: for I will heale him.
20 Al' opaki su poput mora uzburkanog koje se ne može smiriti, valovi mu mulj i blato izmeću.
But the wicked are like the raging sea, that can not rest, whose waters cast vp myre and dirt.
21 “Nema mira grešnicima!” govori Bog moj.
There is no peace, sayth my God, to the wicked.
