Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from before the evil.
Pravednik gine, i nitko ne mari. Uklanjaju ljude pobožne, i nitko ne shvaća. Da, zbog zla uklonjen je pravednik
2 He entereth into peace: they rest in their beds, [each one] that hath walked in his uprightness.
da bi ušao u mir. Tko god je pravim putem hodio počiva na svom ležaju.
3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.
Pristupite sad, sinovi vračarini, leglo preljubničko i bludničko!
4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom do ye make a wide mouth, [and] draw out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
S kim se podrugujete, na koga razvaljujete usta i komu jezik plazite? Niste li vi porod grešan i leglo lažljivo?
5 inflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?
Vi koji se raspaljujete među hrašćem, pod svakim zelenim drvetom, žrtvujući djecu u dolinama i u rasjelinama stijena!
6 Among the smooth [stones] of the torrent is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured out a drink-offering, thou hast offered an oblation. Shall I be comforted myself as to these things?
Dio je tvoj među oblucima potočnim, oni, oni su baština tvoja. Njima izlijevaš ljevanicu, njima prinosiš darove! Zar da se time ja utješim?
7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither didst thou go up to offer sacrifice.
Na gori visokoj, uzdignutoj, svoj si ležaj postavila i popela se onamo da prinosiš žrtvu klanicu.
8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for apart from me, thou hast uncovered thyself, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and hast made agreement with them; thou lovedst their bed, thou sawest their nakedness.
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.
9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst multiply thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers afar off, and didst debase thyself unto Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
S uljem za Molekom trčiš, s pomastima mnogim, nadaleko posla glasnike svoje, strovali ih u Podzemlje. (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou wast wearied by the multitude of thy ways; [but] thou saidst not, It is of no avail. Thou didst find a quickening of thy strength; therefore thou wast not sick [of it].
Iscrpljena si od tolikih lutanja, al' nisi rekla: “Beznadno je!” Snagu si svoju nanovo našla te nisi sustala.
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor taken it to heart? Have not I even of long time held my peace, and thou fearest me not?
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.
12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; and they shall not profit thee.
Ali ću objavit' o tvojoj pravdi i djela ti tvoja neće koristiti.
13 When thou criest, let them that are gathered by thee deliver thee! But a wind shall carry them all away, a breath shall take them; but he that putteth his trust in me shall inherit the land, and possess my holy mountain.
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.
14 And it shall be said, Cast up, cast up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-blocks out of the way of my people.
Govorit će se: Naspite, naspite, poravnajte put! Uklonite zapreke s puta mog naroda!
15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, and whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy [place], and with him that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
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.
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit would fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.
Jer neću se prepirati dovijeka ni vječno se ljutiti: preda mnom bi podlegao duh i duše što sam ih stvorio.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him; I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on backslidingly in the way of his heart.
Zbog grijeha lakomosti njegove razgnjevih se, udarih ga i sakrih se rasrđen. Ali on okrenu za srcem svojim
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him; and I will lead him, and will restore comforts unto him and to those of his that mourn.
i vidjeh putove njegove. Izliječit ću ga, voditi i utješit' one što s njime tuguju -
19 I create the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him [that is] afar off, and to him [that is] nigh, saith Jehovah; and I will heal him.
stavit ću hvalu na usne njihove. Mir, mir onom tko je daleko i tko je blizu,” govori Jahve, “ja ću te izliječiti.”
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot rest, and whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
Al' opaki su poput mora uzburkanog koje se ne može smiriti, valovi mu mulj i blato izmeću.
21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
“Nema mira grešnicima!” govori Bog moj.
