Izaija 57
1 Pravednik gine, i nitko ne mari. Uklanjaju ljude pobožne, i nitko ne shvaća. Da, zbog zla uklonjen je pravednik
The righteous has perished, And there is none laying [it] to heart, And men of kindness are gathered, Without any considering that from the face of evil The righteous one is gathered.
2 da bi ušao u mir. Tko god je pravim putem hodio počiva na svom ležaju.
He enters into peace, they rest on their beds, [Each] is going straightforward.
3 Pristupite sad, sinovi vračarini, leglo preljubničko i bludničko!
“And you, come near here, O sons of a sorceress, seed of an adulterer, Even you commit whoredom.
4 S kim se podrugujete, na koga razvaljujete usta i komu jezik plazite? Niste li vi porod grešan i leglo lažljivo?
Against whom do you sport yourselves? Against whom do you enlarge the mouth [And] prolong the tongue? Are you not children of transgression? A false seed?
5 Vi koji se raspaljujete među hrašćem, pod svakim zelenim drvetom, žrtvujući djecu u dolinama i u rasjelinama stijena!
Who are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree, Slaughtering the children in valleys, Under clefts of the rocks.
6 Dio je tvoj među oblucima potočnim, oni, oni su baština tvoja. Njima izlijevaš ljevanicu, njima prinosiš darove! Zar da se time ja utješim?
Your portion [is] among the smooth things of a brook, They [are] your lot, You have also poured out an oblation to them, You have caused a present to ascend, Am I comforted in these things?
7 Na gori visokoj, uzdignutoj, svoj si ležaj postavila i popela se onamo da prinosiš žrtvu klanicu.
On a mountain, high and exalted, You have set your bed, You have also gone up there to make a sacrifice.
8 Za vrata i dovratke metnula si spomen svoj; daleko od mene svoj ležaj raskrivaš, penješ se na nj i širiš ga. Pogađala si se s onima s kojima si voljela lijegati, sve si više bludničila s njima gledajuć' im mušku snagu.
And behind the door, and the post, You have set up your memorial, For you have removed from Me, and go up, You have enlarged your bed, And cut [a covenant] with them, You have loved their bed, the station you saw,
9 S uljem za Molekom trčiš, s pomastima mnogim, nadaleko posla glasnike svoje, strovali ih u Podzemlje. (Sheol h7585)
And go joyfully to the king in ointment, And multiply your perfumes, And send your ambassadors far off, And humble yourself to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
10 Iscrpljena si od tolikih lutanja, al' nisi rekla: “Beznadno je!” Snagu si svoju nanovo našla te nisi sustala.
You have labored in the greatness of your way, You have not said, It is desperate. You have found the life of your hand, Therefore you have not been sick.
11 Koga si se uplašila i pobojala da si se iznevjerila, da se više nisi mene spominjala, niti si me k srcu uzimala? Šutio sam, zatvarao oči, zato me se nisi bojala.
And of whom have you been afraid, and fear, That you lie, and have not remembered Me? You have not laid [it] to your heart, Am I not silent, even from of old? And you do not fear Me?
12 Ali ću objavit' o tvojoj pravdi i djela ti tvoja neće koristiti.
I declare your righteousness, and your works, And they do not profit you.
13 Kad uzmeš vikati, nek' te izbave kipovi koje si skupila, sve će ih vjetar raznijeti, vihor će ih otpuhnuti. A tko se u me uzda, baštinit će zemlju i zaposjest će svetu goru moju.
When you cry, let your gatherings deliver you, And wind carries all of them away, Vanity takes away, And whoever is trusting in Me inherits the land, And possesses My holy mountain.”
14 Govorit će se: Naspite, naspite, poravnajte put! Uklonite zapreke s puta mog naroda!
And He has said, “Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.”
15 Jer ovako govori Višnji i Uzvišeni, koji vječno stoluje i ime mu je Sveti: “U prebivalištu visokom i svetom stolujem, ali ja sam i s potlačenim i poniženim, da oživim duh smjernih, da oživim srca skrušenih.
For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and His Name [is] holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,
16 Jer neću se prepirati dovijeka ni vječno se ljutiti: preda mnom bi podlegao duh i duše što sam ih stvorio.
For I do not strive for all time, nor am I angry forever, For the spirit is feeble before Me, And the souls I have made.
17 Zbog grijeha lakomosti njegove razgnjevih se, udarih ga i sakrih se rasrđen. Ali on okrenu za srcem svojim
For the iniquity of his dishonest gain, I have been angry, and I strike him, Hiding—and am angry, And he goes on turning back in the way of his heart.
18 i vidjeh putove njegove. Izliječit ću ga, voditi i utješit' one što s njime tuguju -
I have seen his ways, and I heal him, indeed, I lead him, And repay comforts to him and to his mourning ones.
19 stavit ću hvalu na usne njihove. Mir, mir onom tko je daleko i tko je blizu,” govori Jahve, “ja ću te izliječiti.”
Producing the fruit of the lips, Peace, peace, to the far off, and to the near, And I have healed him,” said YHWH.
20 Al' opaki su poput mora uzburkanog koje se ne može smiriti, valovi mu mulj i blato izmeću.
And the wicked [are] as the driven out sea, For it is not able to rest, And its waters cast out filth and mire.
21 “Nema mira grešnicima!” govori Bog moj.
“There is no peace,” said my God, “for the wicked!”
