Esajas 2
1 Dette er det Ord, som Esajas, Amoz's Søn, saa om Juda og Jerusalem.
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz foresaw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
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.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be firmly established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and unto it shall flow all the nations.
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 ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us of his ways, and we may walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.
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 will judge among the nations, and decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-knives: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and they shall not learn any more war.
5 Jakobs Hus! kommer, og lader os vandre i Herrens Lys! —
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light 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.
For thou hast abandoned thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of [witchcraft] more than the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and with the children of strangers they unite themselves.
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.
And full became their land of silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; and full became their land of horses, and there is no end to their chariots;
8 Og deres Land fyldtes med Afguder; de tilbede deres Hænders Gerning, det, som deres Fingre have gjort.
And full became their land of idols; to the work of their own hands they bow themselves, to what their own fingers have made.
9 Derfor nedbøjes Mennesket og Manden fornedres, og du tilgive dem det ej!
And so is bent down the son of earth, and humbled the man; and thou wilt not forgive them.
10 Gak ind i Klippen og skjul dig i Støvet for Herrens Frygts Skyld og for hans Majestæts Herligheds Skyld.
Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty.
11 Et Menneskes stolte Øjne skulle ydmyges, og Mændenes Højhed skal nedbøjes; men Herren skal alene være høj paa den Dag.
The looks of human pride shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bent down: and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day.
12 Thi den Herre Zebaoths Dag skal komme over hver hovmodig og høj og over hver ophøjet, at han skal fornedres,
For there is a day [of judgment] unto the Lord of hosts over every proud and lofty one; and over every exalted one, that he be brought low;
13 og over alle de høje og anselige Cedre paa Libanon og over alle Ege i Basan
And over all the cedars of the Lebanon, the high and exalted, and over all the oaks of Bashan;
14 og over alle høje Bjerge og over alle anselige Høje
And over all the high mountains, and over all the exalted hills;
15 og over hvert højt Taarn og over hver fast Mur
And over every high tower, and over every fortified wall;
16 og over alle Tharsis's Skibe og over alt, hvad der er lysteligt at skue.
And over all the ships of Tharshish; and over all desirable palaces.
17 Og Menneskets Højhed skal nedbøjes, og Mændenes Højhed skal fornedres; og Herren skal alene være høj paa den Dag.
And the pride of man shall be bent down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled: and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day.
18 Og med Afguderne skal det være aldeles forbi.
And the idols will he utterly abolish.
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.
And men shall enter into the caverns of rocks, and into the rifts of the earth, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify 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,
On that day shall a man cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which have been made for him to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
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 enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the hollows of the cliffs, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.
22 Slaar ikke længer eders Lid til Mennesket, som har Aande i sin Næse; thi for hvad er vel han at agte?
Withdraw yourselves [then] from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; because, for what is he to be esteemed?
