< Isaiah 57 >

1 Good people die, and nobody cares; the faithful pass away, and nobody thinks that they were being protected from evil.
Pravični propada in nihče si tega ne jemlje k srcu. Usmiljeni ljudje so odvzeti, nihče ne preudarja, da je pravični odvzet pred zlom, ki pride.
2 Those who follow what's right rest in peace; they find rest as they lie down in death.
Vstopil bo v mir. Počivali bodo v svojih posteljah, vsakdo, ki hodi v svoji poštenosti.
3 But as for you, children of fortune-tellers, the product of adultery and prostitution—come here!
Toda približajte se sèm, vi sinovi čarodejk, seme zakonolomca in vlačuge.
4 Who are you making fun of when you make sneering faces and stick out your tongues? Aren't you the children of sin and lies?
Zoper koga se zabavate? Zoper koga širite usta in iztezate jezik? Mar niste otroci prestopka, seme neresnice,
5 You're the ones having pagan orgies under the oak trees, under every green tree. You sacrifice your children in the valleys and among the rocky peaks.
ki se vnemate z maliki pod vsakim zelenim drevesom, ki koljete otroke v dolinah pod skalnimi pečinami?
6 You have chosen to worship the smooth stones from the streams of the valleys—that's the choice you've made! You have poured out drink offerings to these idols—you have presented them with grain offerings. Should that make me happy?
Med gladkimi kamni vodotoka je tvoj delež; ti, ti so tvoj žreb. Celo njim si izlivala pitno daritev, darovala si jedilno daritev. Mar naj prejmem tolažbo v teh?
7 You have committed adultery by idol worship on every high mountain; you went there to offer pagan sacrifices.
Na vzvišeni in visoki gori si si postavila svojo posteljo, celo tja gor odhajaš, da daruješ klavno daritev.
8 You've placed your pagan signs behind your doors and on your doorposts. Deserting me, you took off your clothes and climbed into bed, committing yourselves to those you love to be in bed with. You've seen them naked.
Tudi za vrati in podboji si postavila svoj spomin, kajti odkrila si se drugemu kot meni in odšla gor. Razširila si svojo posteljo in sklenila zavezo z njimi; ljubila si njihovo posteljo, kjer si jo videla.
9 You went to offer Molech olive oil, covering yourself with many perfumes. You sent your messengers to distant places; you even went down into the world of the dead. (Sheol h7585)
Odhajaš h kralju z mazilom, množila si svoje dišave, svoje poslance si poslala daleč in sebe si ponižala celo do pekla. (Sheol h7585)
10 You wore yourselves out by such running around, but you didn't give up and say, “It's hopeless!” You found new strength and so didn't become weak.
Izmučena si v veličini svojih poti, vendar ne praviš: ›Tam ni upanja.‹ Našla si življenje svoje roke, zato nisi bila užaloščena.
11 Who were you scared of, who frightened you so much that you lied to me, didn't remember me, didn't even think about me? Is it because I've been quiet for so long that you don't even fear me?
Pred kom si bila prestrašena ali si se bala, da si lagala in se nisi spomnila mene niti si tega nisi vzela k srcu? Mar nisem molčal celo od davnine in se me ne bojiš?
12 I'm going to let everyone know about how you're so good and the things you do—but they won't help you!
Razglašal bom tvojo pravičnost in tvoja dela, kajti ne bodo ti koristila.
13 When you cry out for help, let's see if your collection of idols will save you! The wind will blow them all away, just a breath and they're gone! But whoever comes to me for help will own the land and possess my holy mountain.
Ko vpiješ, naj te tvoje trume rešijo; toda veter jih bo vse odnesel proč, ničevost jih bo vzela. Toda tisti, ki svoje trdno upanje polaga vame, bo vzel v last deželo in podedoval mojo sveto goro
14 He will say, Build a highway, remove anything that's in the way of my people.
in rekel bo: ›Nasujte, nasujte, pripravite pot, vzemite kamen spotike iz poti mojega ljudstva.‹
15 This is what the one who is high above all says, he who lives in eternity, whose name is holy: I live in a high and holy place, together with those who repent and who act humbly, restoring their spirits and encouraging them.
Kajti tako govori Visoki in Vzvišeni, ki naseljuje večnost, čigar ime je Sveti: ›Prebivam na visokem in svetem kraju, pa tudi s tistim, ki je skesanega in ponižnega duha, da oživim duha ponižnega in da oživim srce skesanega.
16 I won't fight with you forever; I won't be angry with you forever. Otherwise you'd lose heart, the very people I gave life to.
Kajti ne bom se prepiral na veke niti ne bom vedno besen, kajti duh bi opešal pred menoj in duše, ki sem jih naredil.
17 Yes, I was angry with these sinful, greedy people so I punished them. I was angry, so I hid myself from them, but they went on their own rebellious way, doing whatever they wanted.
Zaradi krivičnosti njegove pohlepnosti sem bil besen in ga udaril. Skril sem se in bil besen, on pa je kljubovalno odšel po poti svojega srca.
18 I know what they're doing, but I will heal them. I will lead them and comfort those who mourn,
Videl sem njegove poti in ozdravil ga bom. Prav tako ga bom vodil in obnovil tolažbe njemu in njegovim žalovalcem.
19 so they will able to say thankyou. The Lord declares, Peace, peace, to those who are far away and those who are near. I will heal you.
Jaz ustvarjam sad ustnic: ›Mir, mir tistemu, ki je daleč proč in tistemu, ki je blizu, ‹ govori Gospod ›in jaz ga bom ozdravil.
20 But the wicked are like the sea that is tossed about, never keeping still, churning up the mud and muck with its waves.
Toda zlobni so kot razburkano morje, kadar ne more počivati, katerega vode bljuvajo blato in umazanijo.
21 There's no peace for the wicked, says my God.
Tam ni miru, ‹ govori moj Bog, ›zlobnemu.‹«
