Esajas 2
1 Dette er det Ord, som Esajas, Amoz's Søn, saa om Juda og Jerusalem.
The worde that Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sawe vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.
2 Og det skal ske i de sidste Dage, at Herrens Hus's Bjerg skal være grundfæstet oven paa Bjergene og ophøjet over Højene; og alle Hedninger skulle strømme til det.
It shall be in the last dayes, that the mountaine of the house of the Lord shalbe prepared in the top of the mountaines, and shall be exalted aboue the hilles, and all nations shall flowe vnto it.
3 Og mange Folkeslag skulle komme og sige: Kommer, og lader os gaa op til Herrens Bjerg, til Jakobs Guds Hus, at han maa lære os sine Veje, at vi maa vandre paa hans Stier; thi fra Zion skal udgaa Lov og Herrens Ord fra Jerusalem.
And many people shall go, and say, Come, and let vs go vp to the mountaine of the Lord, to the house of the God of Iaakob, and hee will teach vs his wayes, and we will walke in his paths: for the Lawe shall go foorth of Zion, and the worde of the Lord from Ierusalem,
4 Og han skal dømme imellem Hedningerne og holde Ret for mange Folkeslag, og de skulle omsmede deres Sværd til Hakker og deres Spyd til Haveknive; et Folk skal ikke løfte Sværd imod et andet, og de skulle ikke ydermere øve sig i Krig.
And he shall iudge among the nations, and rebuke many people: they shall breake their swords also into mattocks, and their speares into siethes: nation shall not lift vp a sworde against nation, neither shall they learne to fight any more.
5 Jakobs Hus! kommer, og lader os vandre i Herrens Lys! —
O house of Iaakob, come ye, and let vs walke in the Lawe of the Lord.
6 Men du har forskudt dit Folk, Jakobs Hus; thi de have fuldt op af Østens Væsen og ere Tegnsudlæggere som Filisterne, og de have Behag i de fremmedes Børn.
Surely thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Iaakob, because they are full of the East maners, and are sorcerers as the Philistims, and abound with strange children.
7 Og deres Land fyldtes med Sølv og Guld, og der er ingen Ende paa deres Liggendefæ; og deres Land fyldtes med Heste, og der er ingen Ende paa deres Vogne.
Their land also was full of siluer and golde, and there was none ende of their treasures: and their land was full of horses, and their charets were infinite.
8 Og deres Land fyldtes med Afguder; de tilbede deres Hænders Gerning, det, som deres Fingre have gjort.
Their land also was full of idols: they worshipped the worke of their owne hands, which their owne fingers haue made.
9 Derfor nedbøjes Mennesket og Manden fornedres, og du tilgive dem det ej!
And a man bowed himselfe, and a man humbled himselfe: therefore spare them not.
10 Gak ind i Klippen og skjul dig i Støvet for Herrens Frygts Skyld og for hans Majestæts Herligheds Skyld.
Enter into the rocke, and hide thee in the dust from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie.
11 Et Menneskes stolte Øjne skulle ydmyges, og Mændenes Højhed skal nedbøjes; men Herren skal alene være høj paa den Dag.
The hie looke of man shall be humbled, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord onely shall be exalted in that day.
12 Thi den Herre Zebaoths Dag skal komme over hver hovmodig og høj og over hver ophøjet, at han skal fornedres,
For the day of the Lord of hostes is vpon all the proude and hautie, and vpon all that is exalted: and it shalbe made lowe.
13 og over alle de høje og anselige Cedre paa Libanon og over alle Ege i Basan
Euen vpon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are hie and exalted, and vpon all the okes of Bashan,
14 og over alle høje Bjerge og over alle anselige Høje
And vpon all the hie mountaines, and vpon all the hilles that are lifted vp,
15 og over hvert højt Taarn og over hver fast Mur
And vpon euery hie tower, and vpon euery strong wall,
16 og over alle Tharsis's Skibe og over alt, hvad der er lysteligt at skue.
And vpon all the shippes of Tarshish, and vpon all pleasant pictures.
17 Og Menneskets Højhed skal nedbøjes, og Mændenes Højhed skal fornedres; og Herren skal alene være høj paa den Dag.
And the hautinesse of men shalbe brought low, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord shall onely be exalted in that day.
18 Og med Afguderne skal det være aldeles forbi.
And the idoles will he vtterly destroy.
19 Og de skulle gaa ind i Klippers Huler og i Jordens Kuler for Herrens Frygts Skyld og for hans Majestæts Herligheds Skyld, naar han rejser sig for at forfærde Jorden.
Then they shall goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the caues of the earth, from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall arise to destroy the earth.
20 Paa den Dag skal Mennesket kaste sine Sølvafguder og sine Guldafguder, som de have gjort sig for at tilbede, bort til Muldvarpene og til Aftenbakkerne,
At that day shall man cast away his siluer idoles, and his golden idoles (which they had made themselues to worship them) to the mowles and to the backes,
21 for at ty ind i Klippernes Kløfter, i Fjeldenes Huler for Herrens Frygts Skyld og for hans Majestæts Herligheds Skyld, naar han rejser sig for at forfærde jorden.
To goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the toppes of the ragged rockes from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall rise to destroy the earth.
22 Slaar ikke længer eders Lid til Mennesket, som har Aande i sin Næse; thi for hvad er vel han at agte?
Cease you from the man whose breath is in his nostrels: for wherein is he to be esteemed?
