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 rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

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 Yhwh 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 Yhwh;

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 shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of Yhwh: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after 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 shall he judge the poor, and reprove 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 shall he slay the wicked.

5 Og Retfærdighed skal være hans Lænders Bælte og Trofasthed hans Hofters Bælte.

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

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 also 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 cockatrice’ 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 Yhwh, 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, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest 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 shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, 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 shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall 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.

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of 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.

But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children 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 Yhwh shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.

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 an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
