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.
Awake, awake, put on your strength, O Zion, Put on the garments of your beauty, Jerusalem—the Holy City; For the uncircumcised and unclean no longer enter into you again.
2 Ryst Støvet af dig, staa op, tag Sæde, Jerusalem! gør dig løs fra Lænkerne om din Hals, du Zions fangne Datter!
Shake yourself from dust, arise, sit, O Jerusalem, Bands of your neck have loosed themselves, O captive daughter of Zion.
3 Thi saa siger Herren: I ere solgte for intet, I skulle heller ikke løskøbes ved Penge.
For thus said YHWH: “You have been sold for nothing, And you are 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 said Lord YHWH: “My people went down at first To Egypt to sojourn there, And Asshur—he has oppressed it for nothing.
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.
And now, what [have] I here,” A declaration of YHWH, “That My people are taken for nothing? Its rulers cause howling,” A declaration of YHWH, “And My Name is continually despised all the day.
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 know My Name, Therefore, in that day, Surely I [am] He who is speaking, behold Me.”
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 lovely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings, Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, “Your God has reigned.”
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 voice of your watchmen! They have lifted up the voice, together they cry aloud, Because they see eye to eye, In YHWH’s turning back [to] Zion.
9 Raaber med Fryd, synger med Jubel til Hobe, I Jerusalems øde Steder! thi Herren har trøstet sit Folk, han har genløst Jerusalem.
Break forth, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, For YHWH has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Herren har blottet sin hellige Arm for alle Hedningernes Øjne, og alle Jordens Ender skulle se vor Guds Frelse.
YHWH has made His holy arm bare Before the eyes of all the nations, And all the ends of the earth have seen The salvation 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!
Turn aside, turn aside, go out from there, Do not touch the unclean, Go out from her midst, Be pure, who are carrying the weapons of YHWH.
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 you do not go out in haste, Indeed, you do not go on with flight, For YHWH [is] going before you, And the God of Israel [is] gathering you!
13 Se, min Tjener skal handle klogelig; han skal ophøjes og opløftes og vorde saare høj.
“Behold, My Servant acts wisely, He is high, and has been lifted up, And has been very high.”
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 have been astonished at You (His appearance so marred by man, And His form by sons 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 He sprinkles many nations. Kings shut their mouth concerning Him, For that which was not recounted to them they have seen, And that which they had not heard they have understood!
