Izaija 57

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Pravednik gine, i nitko ne mari. Uklanjaju ljude pobožne, i nitko ne shvaća. Da, zbog zla uklonjen je pravednik	1 The just man perishes, but no one takes it to heart; Devout men are swept away, with no one giving it a thought. Though he is taken away from the presence of evil, the just man
2 da bi ušao u mir. Tko god je pravim putem hodio, počiva na svom ležaju.	2 enters into peace; There is rest on his couch for the sincere, straightforward man.
3 Pristupite sad, sinovi vračarini, leglo preljubničko i bludničko!	3 But you, draw near, you sons of a sorceress, adulterous, wanton race!
4 S kim se podrugujete, na koga razvaljujete usta i komu jezik plazite? Niste li vi porod grešan i leglo lažljivo?	4 Of whom do you make sport, at whom do you open wide your mouth, and put out your tongue? Are you not rebellious children, a worthless race;
5 Vi koji se raspaljujete među hrašćem, pod svakim zelenim drvetom, žrtvujući djecu u dolinama i u rasjeklinama stijena!	5 You who are in heat among the terebinths, under every green tree; You who immolate children in the wadies, behind the crevices in the cliffs?
6 Dio je tvoj među oblúcima potočnim, oni, oni su baština tvoja. Njima izlijevaš ljevanicu, njima prinosiš darove! Zar da se time ja utješim?	6 Among the smooth stones of the wadi is your portion, these are your lot; To these you poured out libations, and brought offerings. Should I decide not to punish these things?
7 Na gori visokoj, uzdignutoj, svoj si ležaj postavila i popela se onamo da prinosiš žrtvu klanicu.	7 Upon a high and lofty mountain you made your bed, and there you went up to offer 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.	8 Behind the door and the doorpost you placed your indecent symbol. Deserting me, you spread out your high, wide bed; And of those whose embraces you love you carved the symbol and gazed upon it
9 S uljem za Molekom trčiš, s pomastima mnogim, nadaleko posla glasnike svoje, strovali ih u podzemlje.	9 While you approached the king with scented oil, and multiplied your perfumes; While you sent your ambassadors far away, down even to the nether world.
10 Iscrpljena si od tolikih lutanja, al’ nisi rekla: »Beznadno je!« Snagu si svoju nanovo našla te nisi sustala.	10 Though worn out by your many misdeeds, you never said, "It is hopeless"; New strength you found, and so you did not weaken.
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.	11 Of whom were you afraid? Whom did you fear, that you became false And did not remember me or give me any thought? Was I to remain silent and unseeing, so that you would not have me to fear?
12 Ali ću objavit’ o tvojoj pravdi i djela ti tvoja neće koristiti.	12 I will expose your justice and your works;
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.	13 They shall not help you when you cry out, nor save you in your distress. All these the wind shall carry off, the breeze shall bear away; But he who takes refuge in me shall inherit the land, and possess my holy mountain.
14 Govorit će se: Naspite, naspite, poravnajte put! Uklonite zapreke s puta mog naroda!	14 Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove the stumbling blocks from my people's path.
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.	15 For thus says he who is high and exalted, living eternally, whose name is the Holy One: On high I dwell, and in holiness, and with the crushed and dejected in spirit, To revive the spirits of the dejected, to revive the hearts of the crushed.
16 Jer neću se prepirati dovijeka ni vječno se ljutiti: preda mnom bi podlegao duh i duše što sam ih stvorio.	16 I will not accuse forever, nor always be angry; For their spirits would faint before me, the souls that I have made.
17 Zbog grijeha lakomosti njegove razgnjevih se, udarih ga i sakrih se rasrđen. Ali on okrenu za srcem svojim	17 Because of their wicked avarice I was angry, and struck them, hiding myself in wrath, as they went their own rebellious way.
18 i vidjeh putove njegove. Izliječit ću ga, voditi i utješit’ one što s njime tuguju –	18 I saw their ways, but I will heal them and lead them; I will give full comfort to them and to those who mourn for them,
19 stavit ću hvalu na usne njihove. Mir, mir onom tko je daleko i tko je blizu«, govori Jahve, »ja ću te izliječiti.«	19 I, the Creator, who gave them life. Peace, peace to the far and the near, says the LORD; and I will heal them.
20 Al’ opaki su poput mora uzburkanog koje se ne može smiriti, valovi mu mulj i blato izmeću.	20 But the wicked are like the tossing sea which cannot be calmed, And its waters cast up mud and filth.
21 »Nema mira grešnicima!«, govori Bog moj.	21 No peace for the wicked! says my God.
