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The righteous one, hath perished, And not a man, hath taken it to heart—Yea the men of lovingkindness, have been withdrawn No one considering, That from the presence of calamity, hath the righteous been withdrawn.
2 Dolazi u mir i poèiva na postelji svojoj ko god hodi pravijem putem.
He entereth into peace, Let them rest upon their couches, —Each one who went on a straight path.
3 A vi sinovi vraèarini, rode kurvarski, koji se kurvate, pristupite ovamo.
But, ye, …draw near hither, Ye sons of divination, —Ye seed of an adulterer when your mother committed unchastity!
4 Kim se rugate? na koga razvaljujete usta i plazite jezik? nijeste li sinovi prestupnièki, sjeme lažno?
Against whom would ye disport yourselves? Against whom would ye widen the mouth and lengthen the tongue, —Are not, ye, Children of transgression, A Seed of falsehood.
5 Koji se upaljujete za lugovima, pod svakim zelenijem drvetom, koljete sinove svoje u potocima, pod vrletima kamenijem.
Who inflame yourselves With the terebinths, Under every green tree—Slaying the children, In the torrent-valleys, Under the clefts of the crags:
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?
Among the smooth stones of the torrent—valley, is thy portion. They, they, are thy lot; Even to them, hast thou Poured out a drink-offering. Caused to ascend a gift. Over these things, can I cease to grieve?
7 Na gori visokoj i uzvišenoj meæeš postelju svoju; i onamo izlaziš da prineseš žrtvu.
On a mountain high and uplifted, hast thou set thy couch, —Even thither, hast thou gone up, to offer sacrifice;
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 the post, hast thou set thy symbol, For, with another than me, hast thou uncovered thyself and gone up—Hast widened thy couch, And hast solemnised for thyself a covenant from them, Thou hast loved their couch a sign, hast thou seen;
9 Ideš k caru s uljem, s mnogim mirisima svojim; šalješ poslanike svoje daleko i ponizuješ se do groba. (Sheol h7585)
And hast gone to the king with oil, And hast multiplied thy perfumes, —And hast sent thy messengers afar, And…lowered thyself as far as hades! (Sheol h7585)
10 Od daljnoga puta svoga umorna ne kažeš: zaludu. Nalaziš život ruci svojoj, zato ne sustaješ.
With the length of thy journey, thou wast wearied, Thou didst not say, Hopeless! The reviving of thy power, thou didst find, For this cause, hast thou not become sick.
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 then hadst thou been anxious about and feared that thou shouldest speak falsely, When me, thou rememberedst not, caredst not for me? Did not, I, keep silence even from age-past times, Although me, thou wouldest not fear?
12 Ja æu objaviti tvoju pravdu i tvoja djela; ali ti neæe pomoæi.
I, will expose thy righteousness, —And thy works—but they will 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 makest outcry, let thy gathered throngs deliver thee! But all of them, shall A wind, catch up—A breath, take away! Whereas he that seeketh refuge in me, Shall inherit the land, And possess my holy mountain.
14 I reæi æe se: poravnite, poravnite, pripravite put, uklonite smetnje s puta naroda mojega.
And one said—Cast ye up—cast ye up, prepare ye a way, —Lift the stumbling-block 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 he that is high and lifted up—Inhabiting futurity, And, holy, is his name: A high and holy place, will I inhabit, Also with the crushed and lowly in spirit, To revive the spirit of the lowly, and To revive the heart of them who are crushed; —
16 Jer se neæu jednako preti niti æu se dovijeka gnjeviti, jer bi išèeznuo preda mnom duh i duše koje sam stvorio.
For not age-abidingly, will I contend, Nor perpetually, will I be wroth, —For, spirit, before me, would faint, Even the breathing souls, which, I, had made.
17 Za bezakonje lakomosti njegove razgnjevih se, i udarih ga, sakrih se i razgnjevih se, jer odmetnuvši se otide putem srca svojega.
Because of his iniquitous gain, was I wroth—and smote him Hiding myself that I might be wroth, —But he went on turning aside in the way of his own heart.
18 Vidim putove njegove, ali æu ga iscijeliti, vodiæu ga i daæu opet utjehu njemu i njegovijem koji tuže.
His ways, have I beheld, That I might heal him, —And guide him, And restore consolations to him and to his mourners:
19 Ja stvaram plod usnama: mir, mir onomu ko je daleko i ko je blizu, veli Gospod, i iscijeliæu ga.
Creating the fruit of the lips—Prosperity! Prosperity! For him that is far off and for him that is near saith Yahweh, So should I heal him.
20 A bezbožnici su kao more uskolebano, koje se ne može umiriti i voda njegova izmeæe neèistotu i blato.
But, the lawless, are like the sea when tossed, —For, rest, it cannot! But its waters toss out mire and dirt.
21 Nema mira bezbožnicima, veli Bog moj.
No well-being, saith my God, to the lawless!
