Esajas 52
1 Vaagn op, vaagn op, ifør dig din Styrke, Zion! ifør dig din Herligheds Klæder, Jerusalem, du hellige Stad! thi ingen uomskaaren eller uren skal ydermere komme ind i dig.
Aries, arise: put on thy strength, O Zion: put on thy garments of thy beautie, O Ierusalem, the holy citie: for hencefoorth there shall no more come into thee the vncircumcised and the vncleane.
2 Ryst Støvet af dig, staa op, tag Sæde, Jerusalem! gør dig løs fra Lænkerne om din Hals, du Zions fangne Datter!
Shake thy selfe from the dust: arise, and sit downe, O Ierusalem: loose the bandes of thy necke, O thou captiue daughter, Zion.
3 Thi saa siger Herren: I ere solgte for intet, I skulle heller ikke løskøbes ved Penge.
For thus sayeth the Lord, Yee were solde for naught: therefore shall ye be redeemed without money.
4 Thi saa siger den Herre, Herre: I Begyndelsen for mit Folk ned til Ægypten for at være fremmed der; og derpaa undertrykker Assur det for intet.
For thus saith the Lord God, My people went downe afore time into Egypt to soiourne there, and Asshur oppressed them without cause.
5 Og nu, hvad har jeg faaet her? siger Herren; thi mit Folk er bortført for intet; dets Herskere hyle, siger Herren, og mit Navn bespottes stedse den ganske Dag.
Nowe therefore what haue I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for naught, and they that rule ouer them, make them to howle, saith the Lord? and my Name all the day continually is blasphemed?
6 Derfor skal mit Folk lære at kende mit Navn; ja, derfor paa denne Dag; thi jeg er den, som taler, se, her er jeg.
Therefore my people shall know my Name: therefore they shall know in that day, that I am he that doe speake: beholde, it is I.
7 Hvor dejlige paa Bjergene ere dens Fødder, som bærer glædeligt Budskab, som forkynder Fred, som bærer glædeligt Budskab om godt, som forkynder Frelse og siger til Zion: Din Gud er Konge!
How beautifull vpon the mountaines are the feete of him, that declareth and publisheth peace? that declareth good tidings, and publisheth saluation, saying vnto Zion, Thy God reigneth?
8 Dine Vægteres Røst er der! de opløfte deres Røst, de synge alle med Fryd; thi med Øje imod Øje skue de, at Herren vender tilbage til Zion.
The voyce of thy watchmen shalbe heard: they shall lift vp their voyce, and shoute together: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring againe Zion.
9 Raaber med Fryd, synger med Jubel til Hobe, I Jerusalems øde Steder! thi Herren har trøstet sit Folk, han har genløst Jerusalem.
O ye desolate places of Ierusalem, bee glad and reioyce together: for the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Ierusalem.
10 Herren har blottet sin hellige Arm for alle Hedningernes Øjne, og alle Jordens Ender skulle se vor Guds Frelse.
The Lord hath made bare his holy arme in the sight of all the Gentiles, and all the endes of the earth shall see the saluation of our God.
11 Bort, bort! drager ud derfra, rører ikke ved noget urent; gaar ud af dens Midte, renser eder, I, som bære Herrens Kar!
Depart, depart ye: goe out from thence and touche no vncleane thing: goe out of the middes of her: be ye cleane, that beare the vessels of the Lord.
12 Thi I skulle ikke drage ud med Hast ej heller gaa bort i Flugt; thi Herren gaar for eders Ansigt, og Israels Gud slutter eders Tog.
For ye shall not goe out with haste, nor depart by fleeing away: but the Lord will goe before you, and the God of Israel will gather you together.
13 Se, min Tjener skal handle klogelig; han skal ophøjes og opløftes og vorde saare høj.
Beholde, my seruant shall prosper: he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very hie.
14 Ligesom mange forskrækkedes over ham — saa var hans Udseende skæmmet, at han ikke var som en Mand, og hans Skikkelse, at han ikke var som et Menneskens Barn, —
As many were astonied at thee (his visage was so deformed of men, and his forme of the sonnes of men)
15 saaledes skal han rense mange Hedninger, Konger skulle tillukke deres Mund for ham; thi hvad der ikke var fortalt dem, have de set, og hvad de ikke havde hørt, have de forfaret.
so shall hee sprinkle many nations: the Kings shall shut their mouthes at him: for that which had not bene tolde them, shall they see, and that which they had not heard, shall they vnderstande.
