Esajas 11
1 Og der skal opgaa et Skud af Isajs Stub, og en Kvist af hans Rødder skal bære Frugt.
And a rod will go forth from the root of Jesse, and a flower will ascend from his root.
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 the Lord will rest upon him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and fortitude, the spirit of knowledge and piety.
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 he will be filled with the spirit of the fear of the Lord. He will not judge according to the sight of the eyes, nor reprove according to the hearing of the 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.
Instead, he will judge the poor with justice, and he will reprove the meek of the earth with fairness. And he will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and he will slay the impious with the spirit of his lips.
5 Og Retfærdighed skal være hans Lænders Bælte og Trofasthed hans Hofters Bælte.
And justice will be the belt around his waist. And faith will be the warrior’s belt at his side.
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.
The wolf will dwell with the lamb; and the leopard will lie down with the kid; the calf and the lion and the sheep will abide together; and a little boy will drive them.
7 Og Koen og Bjørnen skulle græsse sammen, deres Unger skulle ligge hos hinanden; og Løven skal æde Straa som Oksen.
The calf and the bear will feed together; their young ones will rest together. And the lion will 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 a breastfeeding infant will play above the lair of the asp. And a child who has been weaned will thrust his hand into the den of the king snake.
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 will not harm, and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain. For the earth has been filled with the knowledge of the Lord, like the waters covering 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.
In that day, the root of Jesse, who stands as a sign among the people, the same the Gentiles shall beseech, and his sepulcher will 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 this shall be in that day: the Lord will send forth his hand a second time to take possession of the remnant of his people who will be left behind: from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Ethiopia, 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 lift up a sign to the nations, and he will gather together the fugitives of Israel, and he will collect the dispersed of Judah from the four regions 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.
And the envy of Ephraim will be taken away, and the enemies of Judah will perish. Ephraim will not be a rival to Judah, and Judah will not fight against 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 will fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines through the sea; together they will plunder the sons of the east. Idumea and Moab will be under the rule of their hand, and the sons of Ammon will be obedient.
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 the Lord will desolate the tongue of the sea of Egypt. And he will lift up his hand over the river, with the strength of his Spirit; and he will strike it, in its seven streams, so that they may cross through it in their shoes.
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 will be a way for the remnant of my people, who will be left behind by the Assyrians: just as there was for Israel in the day that he ascended from the land of Egypt.
