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, will Yahweh With his sword—the hard and the great and the strong, Bring punishment Upon Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, And upon Leviathan, the crooked serpent, —And will slay the monster which is in the sea.
2 Paa den Dag synger om en lystelig Vingaard:
In that day, A Wine-Vineyard! sing ye unto her:
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—Yahweh, am Watching over her, Every moment, will I water her, —Lest anyone injure her, Night and day, will I watch over her.
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,
Fury, have I none, —Oh that there were delivered to me briars and thorns, in battle! I would march in among them I would set fire to them one and all.
5 hvis man ikke vil tage sin Tilflugt til mig, slutte Fred med mig, slutte Fred med mig.
Else, let one lay hold of my protection, Let him make peace with me, —Peace, let him make 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 coming times, shall Jacob strike root, Israel, shall blossom and bud, —Then shall they 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?
Was it, with the smiting of his smiter, that he smote him? Or as with the slaying of his slayer, was he slain?
8 Med Maade, med Udstødelse trættede du imod det; han bortrev det ved sit haarde Vejr, den Dag det var Østenstorm.
By driving her away—by dismissing her, wouldest thou contend with her? He removed her by his rough wind in, a day of 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 hereby, shall a propitiatory—covering be put over the iniquity of Jacob, And all, this, is the fruit of taking away his sin, —When he maketh all the stones of an altar like chalk-stones that soon crumble, Sacred Stems and Sun Images, shall not arise.
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, The dwelling forsaken and left as a wilderness, —There, shall the calf feed, And, there, lie down And shall 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 cut-off boughs thereof are dry, they shall be broken to pieces, Women, coming, are kindling it! For it is not a people of understanding, For this cause, Will he that made him, not have compassion upon him, And, he that formed him, will shew him no favour.
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 Yahweh will beat off his fruit from the stream of the River ["Euphrates"], unto the torrent-valley of Egypt, —And, ye, shall be picked up, one by one O sons 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 there shall be a blowing with a great horn, Then shall come in Such as have wandered in the land of Assyria, And such as have been outcasts in the land of Egypt, —And they shall bow themselves down unto Yahweh In the holy mountain, In Jerusalem.
