Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perish, and no one lays it to heart. Merciful men are taken away, and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
Pravednik mre, i niko ne mari; i pobožni se ljudi uzimaju, a niko se ne sjeæa da se pred zlo uzima pravednik;
2 He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
Dolazi u mir i poèiva na postelji svojoj ko god hodi pravijem putem.
3 “But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.
A vi sinovi vraèarini, rode kurvarski, koji se kurvate, pristupite ovamo.
4 Whom do you mock? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out your tongue? Are not you children of disobedience and offspring of falsehood,
Kim se rugate? na koga razvaljujete usta i plazite jezik? nijeste li sinovi prestupnièki, sjeme lažno?
5 you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
Koji se upaljujete za lugovima, pod svakim zelenijem drvetom, koljete sinove svoje u potocima, pod vrletima kamenijem.
6 Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion. They, they are your lot. You have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
Dio ti je meðu glatkim kamenjem potoènim; to je, to je tvoj dio; njemu ljevaš naljev svoj, prinosiš dar; tijem li æu se umiriti?
7 On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
Na gori visokoj i uzvišenoj meæeš postelju svoju; i onamo izlaziš da prineseš žrtvu.
8 You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts, for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me, and have gone up. You have enlarged your bed and made you a covenant with them. You loved what you saw on their bed.
I iza vrata i iza dovrataka meæeš spomen svoj; otstupivši od mene otkrivaš se, i izašavši gore širiš odar svoj, ugovaraš s njima, mila ti je postelja njihova, gdje ugledaš mjesto.
9 You went to the king with oil, increased your perfumes, sent your ambassadors far off, and degraded yourself even to Sheol (Sheol h7585).
Ideš k caru s uljem, s mnogim mirisima svojim; šalješ poslanike svoje daleko i ponizuješ se do groba. (Sheol h7585)
10 You were wearied with the length of your ways; yet you did not say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you were not faint.
Od daljnoga puta svoga umorna ne kažeš: zaludu. Nalaziš život ruci svojoj, zato ne sustaješ.
11 “Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Have not I held my peace for a long time, and you do not fear me?
I od koga si se uplašila i koga si se pobojala, te si slagala i nijesi se mene opominjala niti si marila? što ja muèah odavna, zato li me se ne bojiš?
12 I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
Ja æu objaviti tvoju pravdu i tvoja djela; ali ti neæe pomoæi.
13 When you cry, let those whom you have gathered deliver you, but the wind will take them. A breath will carry them all away, but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.”
Kad staneš vikati, neka te izbave oni koje si sabrala; ali æe ih sve vjetar odnijeti, i uzeæe ih taština. Ali ko se u me uzda, naslijediæe zemlju i dobiæe svetu goru moju.
14 He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
I reæi æe se: poravnite, poravnite, pripravite put, uklonite smetnje s puta naroda mojega.
15 For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Jer ovako govori visoki i uzvišeni, koji živi u vjeènosti, kojemu je ime sveti: na visini i u svetinji stanujem i s onijem ko je skrušena srca i smjerna duha oživljujuæi duh smjernijeh i oživljujuæi srce skrušenijeh.
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.
Jer se neæu jednako preti niti æu se dovijeka gnjeviti, jer bi išèeznuo preda mnom duh i duše koje sam stvorio.
17 I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness and struck him. I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
Za bezakonje lakomosti njegove razgnjevih se, i udarih ga, sakrih se i razgnjevih se, jer odmetnuvši se otide putem srca svojega.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
Vidim putove njegove, ali æu ga iscijeliti, vodiæu ga i daæu opet utjehu njemu i njegovijem koji tuže.
19 I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says the LORD; “and I will heal them.”
Ja stvaram plod usnama: mir, mir onomu ko je daleko i ko je blizu, veli Gospod, i iscijeliæu ga.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest and its waters cast up mire and mud.
A bezbožnici su kao more uskolebano, koje se ne može umiriti i voda njegova izmeæe neèistotu i blato.
21 “There is no peace”, says my God, “for the wicked.”
Nema mira bezbožnicima, veli Bog moj.
