Esajas 27
1 Paa den Dag skal Herren med sit haarde og store og stærke Sværd hjemsøge Leviathan, den flygtende Slange, og Leviathan, den bugtede Slange, og han skal ihjelslaa. Uhyret, som er i Havet.
In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.
2 Paa den Dag synger om en lystelig Vingaard:
In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it.
3 Jeg, Herren, er dens Vogter, hvert Øjeblik vander jeg den; for at ingen skal hjemsøge den, vil jeg Dag og Nat vogte den.
I Jehovah am its keeper; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Jeg har ikke Vrede; men lad Torne og Tidsler komme imod mig med Krig, da vil jeg falde ind paa dem og opbrænde dem til Hobe,
Wrath is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together.
5 hvis man ikke vil tage sin Tilflugt til mig, slutte Fred med mig, slutte Fred med mig.
Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; [yea], let him make peace with me.
6 I de kommende Dage skal Jakob slaa Rødder, Israel skal blomstre og faa Knopper; og de skulle fylde Jorderige med Frugt.
In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud; and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Mon han har slaget det, som han har slaget dets Drabsmænd? eller mon det være ihjelslaget, som de ere ihjelslagne, der ihjelslog det?
Hath he smitten them as he smote those that smote them? or are they slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by them?
8 Med Maade, med Udstødelse trættede du imod det; han bortrev det ved sit haarde Vejr, den Dag det var Østenstorm.
In measure, when thou sendest them away, thou dost contend with them; he hath removed [them] with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
9 Derfor bliver herved Jakobs Ondskab udsonet, og Frugten af, at han borttager dets Synd, er alt dette: At han gør alle Alterets Stene som adspredte Kalkstene; Astartebilleder og Solbilleder skulle ikke rejse sig mere.
Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, [so that] the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
10 Thi den faste Stad ligger øde, en Bolig forkastet og forladt som Ørken; der skulle Kalve gaa i Græs, og der skulle de ligge og fortære dens Kviste.
For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
11 Naar dens Grene tørres, da skulle de sønderbrydes, Kvinder skulle komme og gøre Ild dermed; thi det er ikke et forstandigt Folk, derfor skal han, som skabte det, ikke forbarme sig over det, og han, som dannede det, skal ikke være det naadig.
When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.
12 Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at Herren skal afryste Frugter fra Flodens Strøm indtil Ægyptens Bæk; og I skulle opsankes, en for en, I Israels Børn!
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will beat off [his fruit] from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt; and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
13 Og det skal ske, paa den Dag skal man blæse i en stor Basun, saa skulle de fortabte i Assyriens Land og de bortdrevne i Ægyptens Land komme og tilbede Herren paa det hellige Bjerg i Jerusalem.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come that were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
