Isaiah 57
1 The righteous man perisheth, and no one layeth it to heart; And pious men are taken away, and none considereth That because of the evil the righteous man is taken away.
Pravednik gine, i nitko ne mari. Uklanjaju ljude pobožne, i nitko ne shvaća. Da, zbog zla uklonjen je pravednik
2 He entereth into peace; He resteth in his bed, Every one that walketh in 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, Ye brood of the adulterer and the harlot!
Pristupite sad, sinovi vračarini, leglo preljubničko i bludničko!
4 Of whom do ye make your sport, And at whom do ye make wide the mouth, And draw out the tongue? Are ye not rebellious children, a treacherous brood?
S kim se podrugujete, na koga razvaljujete usta i komu jezik plazite? Niste li vi porod grešan i leglo lažljivo?
5 Burning with lust for idols Under every green tree, Slaying 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 With the smooth stones of the valley is thy portion; These, these are thy lot; Here thou pourest out thy drink-offering, And presentest thy meat-offering; Can I see such things, and be at rest?
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 high and lofty mountain settest thou thy bed; Thither dost 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 and the posts dost thou place thy memorial; Thou departest from me, and uncoverest, and ascendest, and enlargest thy bed. Thou makest an agreement with them; Thou desirest their bed; Thou choosest a place.
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 Thou goest to the king with oil, And takest much precious perfume; Thou sendest thine ambassadors afar, Yea, down to the under-world. (Sheol h7585)
S uljem za Molekom trčiš, s pomastima mnogim, nadaleko posla glasnike svoje, strovali ih u Podzemlje. (Sheol h7585)
10 In the length of thy journeys thou hast wearied thyself, But thou sayest not, “I will desist”; Thou yet findest life in thy hand, Therefore thou art not discouraged.
Iscrpljena si od tolikih lutanja, al' nisi rekla: “Beznadno je!” Snagu si svoju nanovo našla te nisi sustala.
11 On account of whom art thou anxious, and of whom art thou afraid, that thou hast proved false, And hast not remembered me, nor laid it to heart? Behold, I have been silent a long time; Therefore 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 But now I announce thy deliverance, And thy works do not profit thee.
Ali ću objavit' o tvojoj pravdi i djela ti tvoja neće koristiti.
13 When thou criest, let thy host of idols deliver thee! But the wind shall bear them all away; A breath shall take them off; But he that putteth his trust in me Shall possess the land, And shall inherit 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 Men shall say, Cast up, cast up, prepare the road; Remove every obstruction from 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, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place; With him also 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 forever, Nor will I be always angry; For life would fail before me, And the souls which I created.
Jer neću se prepirati dovijeka ni vječno se ljutiti: preda mnom bi podlegao duh i duše što sam ih stvorio.
17 For the guilt of his covetousness I was angry; I smote him, I hid myself, and was angry; But yet he went on perversely 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, yet will I heal him; I will guide him, and I will restore comfort To him and to his mourners;
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 far off, and to him that is nigh, Saith Jehovah; 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 is like the troubled sea, Which cannot rest, 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, for the wicked.
“Nema mira grešnicima!” govori Bog moj.
