Isaija 57
1 Pravednik mre, i niko ne mari; i pobožni se ljudi uzimaju, a niko se ne sjeæa da se pred zlo uzima pravednik;
The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are swept away, while no one considers that the righteous are guided from the presence of evil.
2 Dolazi u mir i poèiva na postelji svojoj ko god hodi pravijem putem.
Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.
3 A vi sinovi vraèarini, rode kurvarski, koji se kurvate, pristupite ovamo.
“But come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
4 Kim se rugate? na koga razvaljujete usta i plazite jezik? nijeste li sinovi prestupnièki, sjeme lažno?
Whom are you mocking? At whom do you snarl and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit,
5 Koji se upaljujete za lugovima, pod svakim zelenijem drvetom, koljete sinove svoje u potocima, pod vrletima kamenijem.
who burn with lust among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Dio ti je meðu glatkim kamenjem potoènim; to je, to je tvoj dio; njemu ljevaš naljev svoj, prinosiš dar; tijem li æu se umiriti?
Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?
7 Na gori visokoj i uzvišenoj meæeš postelju svoju; i onamo izlaziš da prineseš žrtvu.
On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifices.
8 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.
Behind the door and doorpost you have set up your memorial. Forsaking Me, you uncovered your bed; you climbed up and opened it wide. And you have made a pact with those whose bed you have loved; you have gazed upon their nakedness.
9 Ideš k caru s uljem, s mnogim mirisima svojim; šalješ poslanike svoje daleko i ponizuješ se do groba. (Sheol h7585)
You went to Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You have sent your envoys a great distance; you have descended even to Sheol itself. (Sheol h7585)
10 Od daljnoga puta svoga umorna ne kažeš: zaludu. Nalaziš život ruci svojoj, zato ne sustaješ.
You are wearied by your many journeys, but you did not say, “There is no hope!” You found renewal of your strength; therefore you did not grow weak.
11 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?
Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lied and failed to remember Me or take this to heart? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear Me?
12 Ja æu objaviti tvoju pravdu i tvoja djela; ali ti neæe pomoæi.
I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not profit you.
13 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.
When you cry out, let your companies of idols deliver you! Yet the wind will carry off all of them, a breath will take them away. But he who seeks refuge in Me will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.”
14 I reæi æe se: poravnite, poravnite, pripravite put, uklonite smetnje s puta naroda mojega.
And it will be said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, take every obstacle out of the way of My people.”
15 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.
For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.
16 Jer se neæu jednako preti niti æu se dovijeka gnjeviti, jer bi išèeznuo preda mnom duh i duše koje sam stvorio.
For I will not accuse you forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me, with the breath of those I have made.
17 Za bezakonje lakomosti njegove razgnjevih se, i udarih ga, sakrih se i razgnjevih se, jer odmetnuvši se otide putem srca svojega.
I was enraged by his sinful greed, so I struck him and hid My face in anger; yet he kept turning back to the desires of his heart.
18 Vidim putove njegove, ali æu ga iscijeliti, vodiæu ga i daæu opet utjehu njemu i njegovijem koji tuže.
I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,
19 Ja stvaram plod usnama: mir, mir onomu ko je daleko i ko je blizu, veli Gospod, i iscijeliæu ga.
bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”
20 A bezbožnici su kao more uskolebano, koje se ne može umiriti i voda njegova izmeæe neèistotu i blato.
But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck.
21 Nema mira bezbožnicima, veli Bog moj.
“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
