Esajas 2
1 Dette er, hvad Esajas, Amoz's Søn, skuede om Jerusalem:
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Det skal ske i de sidste Dage, at HERRENS Huses Bjerg, grundfæstet paa Bjergenes Top, skal løfte sig op over Højene. Did skal Folkene strømme
And it shall come to pass in the end of days, [that] the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow unto it.
3 og talrige Folkeslag vandre: »Kom, lad os drage til HERRENS Bjerg, til Jakobs Guds Hus; han skal lære os sine Veje, saa vi kan gaa paa hans Stier; thi fra Zion udgaar Aabenbaring, fra Jerusalem HERRENS Ord.«
And many peoples shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and Jehovah's word from Jerusalem.
4 Da dømmer han Folk imellem, skifter Ret mellem talrige Folkeslag; deres Sværd skal de smede til Plovjern, deres Spyd til Vingaardsknive; Folk skal ej løfte Sværd mod Folk, ej øve sig i Vaabenfærd mer.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall reprove many peoples; and they shall forge their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-knives: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 Kom, Jakobs Hus, lad os vandre i HERRENS Lys!
House of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.
6 Thi du forskød dit Folk, Jakobs Hus; de er fulde af Østens Væsen og spaar, som var de Filistre, giver Folk fra Udlandet Haandslag.
For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled [with what comes] from the east, and use auguries like the Philistines, and ally themselves with the children of foreigners.
7 Deres Land er fuldt af Sølv og Guld, talløse er deres Skatte; deres Land er fuldt af Heste, talløse er deres Vogne;
And their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no end of their treasures: their land also is full of horses, and there is no end of their chariots.
8 deres Land er fuldt af Afguder, de tilbeder Værk af deres Hænder, Ting, deres Fingre har lavet.
And their land is full of idols; they bow themselves down to the work of their own hands, to that which their fingers have made.
9 Men bøjes skal Mennesket, Manden ydmyges, tilgiv dem ikke!
And the mean man shall be bowed down, and the great man shall be brought low: and do not thou forgive them!
10 Gaa ind i Klippen, skjul dig i Støvet for HERRENS Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed!
Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 Sine stolte Øjne skal Mennesket slaa ned, Mændenes Hovmod skal bøjes, og HERREN alene være høj paa hin Dag.
The lofty eyes of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 Thi en Dag har Hærskarers HERRE mod alt det høje og knejsende, mod alt ophøjet og stolt,
For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon everything proud and lofty, and upon everything lifted up, and it shall be brought low;
13 med alle Libanons Cedre, de knejsende høje, og alle Basans Ege,
and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 mod alle knejsende Bjerge og alle høje Fjelde,
and upon all the lofty mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up;
15 mod alle stolte Taarne og alle stejle Mure,
and upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall;
16 mod alle Tarsisskibe og hver en kostelig Ladning.
and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant works of art.
17 Da skal Menneskets Stolthed bøjes, Mændenes Hovmod ydmyges, og HERREN alene være høj paa hin Dag.
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day:
18 Afguderne skal helt forsvinde.
and the idols shall utterly pass away.
19 Og man skal gaa ind i Klippehuler og Jordhuller for HERRENS Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed naar han staar op for at forfærde Jorden.
And they shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall arise to terrify the earth.
20 Paa hin Dag skal Mennesket slænge sine Guder af Sølv og Guld, som han lavede sig for at tilbede dem, hen til Muldvarpe og Flagermus
In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made [each] for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 for at gaa ind i Klipperevner og Fjeldkløfter for HERRENS Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed, naar han staar op for at forfærde Jorden.
to go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the fissures of the cliffs, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall arise to terrify the earth.
22 Slaa ikke mer eders Lid til Mennesker, i hvis Næse der kun er flygtig Aande, thi hvad er de at regne for?
Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for what account is to be made of him?
