Esajas 11
1 Og der skal opgaa et Skud af Isajs Stub, og en Kvist af hans Rødder skal bære Frugt.
And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse. And a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit.
2 Og Herrens Aand skal hvile over ham, Visdoms og Forstands Aand, Raads og Styrkes Aand, Herrens Kundskabs og Frygts Aand.
And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.
3 Og hans Lyst skal være i Herrens Frygt, og han skal ikke dømme efter det, hans Øjne se, ej heller holde Ret efter det, hans Øren høre.
And his delight shall be in the fear of Jehovah. And he shall not judge according to the sight of his eyes, nor decide according to the hearing of his ears,
4 Men han skal dømme de ringe med Retfærdighed og holde Ret for de lidende i Landet med Oprigtighed; og han skal slaa Jorden med sin Munds Ris og dræbe den ugudelige med sine Læbers Aande.
but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
5 Og Retfærdighed skal være hans Lænders Bælte og Trofasthed hans Hofters Bælte.
And righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins.
6 Og Ulven skal gaa hos Lammet og Parderen ligge hos Kiddet; Kalven og Løven og Fedekvæget skulle være sammen, og en liden Dreng skal drive dem.
And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.
7 Og Koen og Bjørnen skulle græsse sammen, deres Unger skulle ligge hos hinanden; og Løven skal æde Straa som Oksen.
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together. And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 Og det diende Barn skal lege ved Øglens Hul og det afvante Barn stikke sin Haand til Basiliskens Hule.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
9 De skulle ej gøre noget ondt og ej noget fordærveligt paa hele mit hellige Bjerg; thi Jorden er fuld af Herrens Kundskab, ligesom Vandet skjuler Havets Bund.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters cover the sea.
10 Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at Hedningerne skulle spørge efter Isajs Rod, der staar som et Banner for Folkene; og hans Hvilested skal være Herlighed.
And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and he who arises to rule over the Gentiles. In him shall the Gentiles hope, and his resting-place shall be glorious.
11 Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at Herren atter, anden Gang, skal udstrække sin Haand til at forhverve sig det overblevne af sit Folk, som skal blive tilovers fra Assyrien og fra Ægypten og fra Pathros og fra Morland og fra Elam og fra Sinear og fra Hamath og fra Øerne i Havet.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 Og han skal opløfte et Banner for Hedningerne og sanke Israels fordrevne og samle Judas adspredte fra Jordens fire Hjørner.
And he will set up an ensign for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 Og Efraims Misundelse skal vige, og Judas Fjender skulle udryddes; Efraim skal ikke være misundelig paa Juda, og Juda skal ikke trænge Efraim.
Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart, and those who vex Judah shall be cut off. Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14 Men de skulle flyve ind paa Filisternes Skuldre imod Vesten, de skulle i Forening røve fra dem, som bo imod Østen; Edom og Moab skulle blive et Bytte for deres Haand, og Ammons Børn skulle bevise dem Lydighed.
And they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines on the west. Together they shall despoil the sons of the east. They shall put forth their hand upon Edom and Moab, and the sons of Ammon shall obey them.
15 Og Herren skal sætte Vigen af Ægyptens Hav i Band og bevæge sin Haand over Floden med sit stærke Vejr; og han skal slaa den i syv Bække og lade den betrædes med Sko.
And Jehovah will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea. And with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will smite it into seven streams, and cause men to march over dry shod.
16 Og der skal være en banet Vej for de overblevne af hans Folk, som skulle blive tilovers fra Assyrien, ligesom der var for Israel, den Dag det drog op af Ægyptens Land.
And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Assyria, like as there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
