Izaija 57
1 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.
The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
2 Vstopil bo v mir. Počivali bodo v svojih posteljah, vsakdo, ki hodi v svoji poštenosti.
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
3 Toda približajte se sèm, vi sinovi čarodejk, seme zakonolomca in vlačuge.
But draw near here, all of you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
4 Zoper koga se zabavate? Zoper koga širite usta in iztezate jezik? Mar niste otroci prestopka, seme neresnice,
Against whom do all of you sport yourselves? against whom make all of you a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are all of you not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.
5 ki se vnemate z maliki pod vsakim zelenim drevesom, ki koljete otroke v dolinah pod skalnimi pečinami?
Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?
6 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?
Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion; they, they are your lot: even to them have you poured a drink offering, you have offered a food offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
7 Na vzvišeni in visoki gori si si postavila svojo posteljo, celo tja gor odhajaš, da daruješ klavno daritev.
Upon a lofty and high mountain have you set your bed: even thither went you up to offer sacrifice.
8 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.
Behind the doors also and the posts have you set up your remembrance: for you have discovered yourself to another than me, and are gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them; you loved their bed where you saw it.
9 Odhajaš h kralju z mazilom, množila si svoje dišave, svoje poslance si poslala daleč in sebe si ponižala celo do pekla. (Sheol h7585)
And you went to the king with ointment, and did increase your perfumes, and did send your messengers far off, and did debase yourself even unto hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 Izmučena si v veličini svojih poti, vendar ne praviš: ›Tam ni upanja.‹ Našla si življenje svoje roke, zato nisi bila užaloščena.
You are wearied in the greatness of your way; yet said you not, There is no hope: you have found the life of your hand; therefore you were not grieved.
11 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?
And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and you fear me not?
12 Razglašal bom tvojo pravičnost in tvoja dela, kajti ne bodo ti koristila.
I will declare your righteousness, and your works; for they shall not profit you.
13 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
When you cry, let your companies deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that puts his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
14 in rekel bo: ›Nasujte, nasujte, pripravite pot, vzemite kamen spotike iz poti mojega ljudstva.‹
And shall say, Cast all of you up, cast all of you up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling block out of the way of my people.
15 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.
For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits 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.
16 Kajti ne bom se prepiral na veke niti ne bom vedno besen, kajti duh bi opešal pred menoj in duše, ki sem jih naredil.
For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always angry: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
17 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.
For the iniquity of his covetousness was I angry, and stroke him: I hid me, and was angry, and he went on perversely in the way of his heart.
18 Videl sem njegove poti in ozdravil ga bom. Prav tako ga bom vodil in obnovil tolažbe njemu in njegovim žalovalcem.
I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
19 Jaz ustvarjam sad ustnic: ›Mir, mir tistemu, ki je daleč proč in tistemu, ki je blizu, ‹ govori Gospod ›in jaz ga bom ozdravil.
I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, says the LORD; and I will heal him.
20 Toda zlobni so kot razburkano morje, kadar ne more počivati, katerega vode bljuvajo blato in umazanijo.
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 Tam ni miru, ‹ govori moj Bog, ›zlobnemu.‹«
There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.
