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.
2 Vstopil bo v mir. Počivali bodo v svojih posteljah, vsakdo, ki hodi v svoji poštenosti.
He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
3 Toda približajte se sèm, vi sinovi čarodejk, seme zakonolomca in vlačuge.
"But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute.
4 Zoper koga se zabavate? Zoper koga širite usta in iztezate jezik? Mar niste otroci prestopka, seme neresnice,
Against whom are you mocking? Against whom do you make a wide mouth, and stick out your tongue? Aren't you children of rebellion, offspring of liars,
5 ki se vnemate z maliki pod vsakim zelenim drevesom, ki koljete otroke v dolinah pod skalnimi pečinami?
you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill 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 valley is your portion; they, they are your lot; you have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
7 Na vzvišeni in visoki gori si si postavila svojo posteljo, celo tja gor odhajaš, da daruješ klavno daritev.
On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed; there also you went 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 and the posts you have set up your memorial: for you have uncovered to someone besides me, and have 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)
You went to the king with oil, and increased your perfumes, and sent your ambassadors far off, and debased yourself even to Sheol. (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 were wearied with the length of your way; yet you did not say, 'It is in vain.' You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren't faint.
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?
"Of whom have you been afraid and in fear, that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven't I held my peace even of long time, and you do not fear me?
12 Razglašal bom tvojo pravičnost in tvoja dela, kajti ne bodo ti koristila.
I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, 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 those who you have gathered deliver you; but the wind shall take them, a breath shall carry them all away: but he who takes refuge 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.‹
He will say, "Build up, build 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 who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
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 forever, neither will I be always angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls who 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 struck him; I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding 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 to 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 who is far off and to him who 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; for it can't rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 Tam ni miru, ‹ govori moj Bog, ›zlobnemu.‹«
"There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."
