Esajas 59
1 Se, Herrens Haand er ikke forkortet, at han ikke kunde frelse; og hans Øre er ikke tunghørende, at han ikke kunde høre.
Here! not it is [too] short [the] hand of Yahweh for saving and not it is [too] heavy ear his for hearing.
2 Men eders Misgerninger gøre Skilsmisse imellem eder og imellem eders Gud; og eders Synder gøre, at han skjuler Ansigtet for eder, saa at han ikke hører.
For except iniquities your they have been separating between you and between God your and sins your they have hidden face from you from hearing.
3 Thi eders Hænder ere besmittede med Blod og eders Fingre med Misgerning; eders Læber tale Løgn, eders Tunge udsiger Uret.
For hands your they are defiled with blood and fingers your with iniquity lips your they have spoken falsehood tongue your injustice it mutters.
4 Der er ingen, som paakalder i Retfærdighed, og ingen, som gaar i Rette med Redelighed; man forlader sig paa Tomhed og taler Løgn, undfanger Uret og føder Udaad.
There not [is one who] calls in righteousness and there not [is one who] enters into judgment in truth [they are] trusting on emptiness and they speak worthlessness they conceive mischief and they bring forth wickedness.
5 De udruge Basiliskæg og væve Spindelvæv; hvo, som æder af deres Æg, maa dø, og trykkes et i Stykker, udfarer der en Øgle.
Eggs of a viper they have hatched and webs of a spider they weave the [one who] eats any of eggs their he will die and the pressed [egg] it is hatched a snake.
6 Deres Væv skal ikke blive til Klæder, og man kan ikke skjule sig med deres Arbejde, deres Arbejder ere uretfærdige Arbejder, og der er Voldsgerning i deres Hænder.
Webs their not they will become clothing and not people will cover themselves with products their products their [are] products of wickedness and deed[s] of violence [is] in hands their.
7 Deres Fødder løbe efter det onde og haste efter at udgyde uskyldigt Blod, deres Tanker ere uretfærdige Tanker; der er Ødelæggelse og Forstyrrelse paa deres Veje.
Feet their to evil they run and they may hasten to shed blood innocent thoughts their [are] thoughts of wickedness devastation and destruction [are] on highways their.
8 Fredens Vej kende de ikke, og der er ingen Ret i deres Spor; deres Stier gøre de krogede for sig selv, hver den, som betræder dem, ved ikke af Fred.
A way of peace not they know and there not [is] justice on tracks their paths their they have made crooked themselves any [one who] treads on it not he knows peace.
9 Derfor er Retten langt fra os, og Retfærdigheden naar ikke til os; vi forvente Lys, og se, der er Mørke; vi vente idel Solskin, og se, vi vandre i Mulm.
There-fore it is far justice from us and not it reaches us righteousness we wait eagerly for the light and there! darkness for gleams of light in gloom we walk.
10 Vi famle som de blinde efter en Væg, ja, vi famle som de, der ikke have Øjne; vi støde os om Middagen som i Tusmørket, vi ere paa de øde Steder som de døde.
We grope for like blind [people] a wall and like there not [are] eyes we grope we have stumbled at noon like the twilight among the fat people like dead [people].
11 Vi brumme alle sammen som Bjørne og kurre som Duer; vi bie efter Ret, og den kommer ikke, efter Frelse, og den er langt borte fra os.
We growl like bears all of us and like doves certainly we moan we wait eagerly for justice and there not for deliverance it is far from us.
12 Thi vore Overtrædelser ere mange for dig, og vore Synder vidne imod os; thi vore Overtrædelser følge os, og vi kende vore Misgerninger:
For they are many transgressions our before you and sins our it has testified against us that transgressions our [are] with us and iniquities our we know them.
13 At vi have gjort Overtrædelser og fornægtet Herren, og at vi have vendt os bort fra vor Gud, at vor Tale gik ud paa Undertrykkelse og Frafald, at vi have undfanget og udtalt falske Ord af vort Hjerte.
We have transgressed and we have denied Yahweh and we have turned back from after God our we have spoken oppression and rebellion we have conceived and we have uttered from [the] heart words of falsehood.
14 Retten er vegen tilbage, og Retfærdigheden staar langt borte, thi Sandheden støder an paa Gaden, og Retten finder ingen Indgang.
And it has been driven back backwards justice and righteousness from a distance it stands for it has stumbled in the open place truth and honesty not it is able to enter.
15 Og Sandheden er borte, og den, som viger fra det onde, bliver et Rov. Og Herren saa det, og det var ondt for hans Øjne, at der ingen Ret var.
And it was truth lacking and [one who] turned aside from evil [was] plundered and he saw Yahweh and it was displeasing in view his that there not [was] justice.
16 Og han saa, at der ingen var, og han undrede sig saare, at der var ingen Midler; men hans egen Arm hjalp ham, og hans Retfærdighed stod ham bi.
And he saw that there not [was] anyone and he was appalled that there not [was one who] interposed and it gave victory to him own arm his and own righteousness his it it sustained him.
17 Og han iførte sig Retfærdighed som sit Panser, og Frelsens Hjelm var paa hans Hoved; og som Klædning tog han Hævnens Klæder paa og iførte sig Nidkærhed som en Kappe.
And he put on righteousness like body armor and a helmet of salvation on head his and he put on garments of vengeance clothing and he wrapped himself like robe zeal.
18 Efter Fortjeneste, „ja derefter skal han betale sine Modstandere med Vrede, sine Fjender med Vederlag; ja, dem paa Øerne skal han betale efter Fortjeneste.
As on deeds as on he will repay rage to opponents his recompense to enemies his to the islands recompense he will repay.
19 Og de fra Vesten skulle frygte Herrens Navn, og de fra Solens Opgang hans Herlighed; naar Fjenden kommer som en Flod, skal Herrens Aand oprette Banner imod ham.
And they may fear from [the] setting place [the] name of Yahweh and from [the] rising of [the] sun glory his for he will come like river narrow [which] [the] wind of Yahweh it will drive it.
20 Og der skal komme en Genløser for Zion og for dem, som omvende sig fra Overtrædelse i Jakob, siger Herren.
And he will come to Zion a redeemer and to [those who] repent of transgression in Jacob [the] utterance of Yahweh.
21 Og jeg — dette er min Pagt med dem, siger Herren: Min Aand, som er over dig, og mine Ord, som jeg har lagt i din Mund, skulle ikke vige fra dia Mund, eller fra dine Børns Mund, eller fra dine Børnebørns Mund, siger Herren, fra nu og indtil evig Tid.
And I this [is] covenant my with them he says Yahweh spirit my which [is] on you and words my which I have put in mouth your not they will depart from mouth your and from [the] mouth of offspring your and from [the] mouth of [the] offspring of offspring your he says Yahweh from now and until perpetuity.
