1Pravični gine, a nihče ne premisli v srcu, in z milostjo obdarovane pobira smrt, a nihče se ne zmeni, da se izpred nesreče pobira pravični.
1The 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.
2V pokoj gre pravični; počivajo na ležiščih svojih, katerikoli hodijo v poštenosti svoji.
2He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
3Vi pa, približajte se, vražarice otroci, prešeštnika in nečistnice zarod!
3“But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the prostitute.
4Zoper koga se razveseljujete? komu se režite in kažete jezik? Ali niste rojeni v grehu, niste li seme lažnivo,
4Against whom do you sport yourselves? Against whom do you make a wide mouth, and stick out your tongue? Aren’t you children of disobedience, a seed of falsehood,
5ki se razvnemate za malike pod slehernim drevesom zelenečim, ki koljete otročiče po dolinah, pod skalnimi razpokami?
5you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6Med gladkimi kameni v potoku je tvoj del, nečistnica; oni, oni so delež tvoj; tudi njim si izlivala pitno daritev, darovala jedilno daritev. Ali naj se za to potolažim?
6Among 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?
7Na visoki, vzvišeni gori si napravila ležišče svoje; tudi si hodila tja gori opravljat daritev.
7On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed; there also you went up to offer sacrifice.
8In za vrati in za podbojem si postavila spomenik svoj. Kajti izneverila si se meni in si šla gori razkrit se, razširila si ležišče svoje in izgovorila sebi plačilo od njih; rada si se družila ž njimi, ozirala se po njih migljaju.
8Behind 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.
9In hodila si h kralju z oljem in mnogo si rabila dišeča mazila, in pošiljala si poslance svoje daleč in se poniževala prav do pekla.
9You went to the king with oil, and increased your perfumes, and sent your ambassadors far off, and debased yourself even to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .
10Na svojih mnogih potih si bila trudna, a nisi rekla: Zaman je! Poživila se je moč tvoja, zato nisi opešala.
10You were wearied with the length of your way; yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren’t faint.
11In koga si se plašila in bala, da si se lagala in se nisi spominjala mene, ne premislila tega v srcu? Nisem li jaz molčal, in to od nekdaj? in mene se nisi bala.
11“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 don’t fear me?
12Jaz razglasim pravičnost tvojo in dela tvoja, nič ti ne bodo koristila.
12I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they shall not profit you.
13Ko boš vpila, naj te rešijo zbrani maliki tvoji! toda nje vse pobere veter, sapa jih odnese. Kdor pa se zateka k meni, dobi deželo v last in podeduje goro svetosti moje.
13When 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.”
14In govorili bodo: Nasipajte, nasipajte, napravite pot, odpravite vsako spotiko s pota ljudstva mojega!
14He will say, “Cast up, cast up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
15Zakaj tako pravi Visoki in Vzvišeni, ki prebiva v večnosti in ki mu je ime Sveti: Na višavi in v svetišču prebivam, tudi ž njim, ki je potrtega in ponižanega duha, da oživim duha ponižanih in oživim srce potrtih.
15For 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.
16Kajti vekomaj se ne bom prepiral in brezkončno se ne srdil, ker bi njih duh onemogel pred obličjem mojim in duše, ki jih sem jaz ustvaril.
16For 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.
17Zaradi krivične dobičkoželjnosti njegove sem se razsrdil in ga udaril, skril sem se in se srdil; on pa se je tem bolj odvrnil po srca svojega potu.
17For 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.
18Pota njegova vidim, ali ozdravim ga; in vodil ga bom in dajal tolažbe njemu in žalujočim njegovim.
18I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
19Ustvarjam sad ustnic: Mir, mir njemu, ki je daleč, in njemu, ki je blizu, pravi GOSPOD; in hočem ga ozdraviti.
19I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says Yahweh; “and I will heal them.”
20Brezbožni pa so kakor morje razdraženo: mirovati ne more in vode njegove izmetavajo blato in nesnago.Ni ga miru, pravi Bog moj, brezbožnim.
20But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can’t rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
21Ni ga miru, pravi Bog moj, brezbožnim.
21“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
