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.
1Pravednik gine, i nitko ne mari. Uklanjaju ljude pobožne, i nitko ne shvaća. Da, zbog zla uklonjen je pravednik
2He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
2da bi ušao u mir. Tko god je pravim putem hodio počiva na svom ležaju.
3“But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the prostitute.
3Pristupite sad, sinovi vračarini, leglo preljubničko i bludničko!
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,
4S kim se podrugujete, na koga razvaljujete usta i komu jezik plazite? Niste li vi porod grešan i leglo lažljivo?
5you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
5Vi koji se raspaljujete među hrašćem, pod svakim zelenim drvetom, žrtvujući djecu u dolinama i u rasjelinama stijena!
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?
6Dio je tvoj među oblucima potočnim, oni, oni su baština tvoja. Njima izlijevaš ljevanicu, njima prinosiš darove! Zar da se time ja utješim?
7On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed; there also you went up to offer sacrifice.
7Na gori visokoj, uzdignutoj, svoj si ležaj postavila i popela se onamo da prinosiš žrtvu klanicu.
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.
8Za 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.
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. .
9S uljem za Molekom trčiš, s pomastima mnogim, nadaleko posla glasnike svoje, strovali ih u Podzemlje.
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.
10Iscrpljena si od tolikih lutanja, al' nisi rekla: "Beznadno je!" Snagu si svoju nanovo našla te nisi sustala.
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?
11Koga 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.
12I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they shall not profit you.
12Ali ću objavit' o tvojoj pravdi i djela ti tvoja neće koristiti.
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.”
13Kad 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.
14He will say, “Cast up, cast up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
14Govorit će se: Naspite, naspite, poravnajte put! Uklonite zapreke s puta mog naroda!
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.
15Jer 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.
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.
16Jer neću se prepirati dovijeka ni vječno se ljutiti: preda mnom bi podlegao duh i duše što sam ih stvorio.
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.
17Zbog grijeha lakomosti njegove razgnjevih se, udarih ga i sakrih se rasrđen. Ali on okrenu za srcem svojim
18I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
18i vidjeh putove njegove. Izliječit ću ga, voditi i utješit' one što s njime tuguju -
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.”
19stavit ću hvalu na usne njihove. Mir, mir onom tko je daleko i tko je blizu," govori Jahve, "ja ću te izliječiti."
20But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can’t rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
20Al' opaki su poput mora uzburkanog koje se ne može smiriti, valovi mu mulj i blato izmeću.
21“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
21"Nema mira grešnicima!" govori Bog moj.
