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 just perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and men of mercy are taken away, because there is none that understandeth; for the just man is taken away from before the face of evil.

2 Dolazi u mir i poèiva na postelji svojoj ko god hodi pravijem putem.

Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness.

3 A vi sinovi vraèarini, rode kurvarski, koji se kurvate, pristupite ovamo.

But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot.

4 Kim se rugate? na koga razvaljujete usta i plazite jezik? nijeste li sinovi prestupnièki, sjeme lažno?

Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed,

5 Koji se upaljujete za lugovima, pod svakim zelenijem drvetom, koljete sinove svoje u potocima, pod vrletima kamenijem.

Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high 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?

In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things?

7 Na gori visokoj i uzvišenoj meæeš postelju svoju; i onamo izlaziš da prineseš žrtvu.

Upon a high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to offer victims.

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.

And behind the door, and behind the post thou best set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself near me, and hast received an adulterer: thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their bed with open hand.

9 Ideš k caru s uljem, s mnogim mirisima svojim; šalješ poslanike svoje daleko i ponizuješ se do groba. (Sheol h7585)

And thou hast adorned thyself for the king with ointment, and hast multiplied thy perfumes. Thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and wast debased even to hell. (Sheol h7585)

10 Od daljnoga puta svoga umorna ne kažeš: zaludu. Nalaziš život ruci svojoj, zato ne sustaješ.

Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy ways: yet thou saidst not: I will rest: thou hast found life of thy hand, therefore thou hast not asked.

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?

For whom hast thou been solicitous and afraid, that thou hast lied, and hast not been mindful of me, nor thought on me in thy heart? for I am silent, and as one that seeth not, and thou hast forgotten me.

12 Ja æu objaviti tvoju pravdu i tvoja djela; ali ti neæe pomoæi.

I will declare thy justice, and thy works shall not profit thee.

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 thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount.

14 I reæi æe se: poravnite, poravnite, pripravite put, uklonite smetnje s puta naroda mojega.

And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks 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 saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to 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 contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, and breathings I will make.

17 Za bezakonje lakomosti njegove razgnjevih se, i udarih ga, sakrih se i razgnjevih se, jer odmetnuvši se otide putem srca svojega.

For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart.

18 Vidim putove njegove, ali æu ga iscijeliti, vodiæu ga i daæu opet utjehu njemu i njegovijem koji tuže.

I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him.

19 Ja stvaram plod usnama: mir, mir onomu ko je daleko i ko je blizu, veli Gospod, i iscijeliæu ga.

I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.

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 raging sea, which cannot rest, and the waves thereof cast up dirt and mire.

21 Nema mira bezbožnicima, veli Bog moj.

There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord God.
