Esajas 2
1 Dette er, hvad Esajas, Amoz's Søn, skuede om Jerusalem:
The worde that Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sawe vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.
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
It shall be in the last dayes, that the mountaine of the house of the Lord shalbe prepared in the top of the mountaines, and shall be exalted aboue the hilles, and all nations shall flowe vnto 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 people shall go, and say, Come, and let vs go vp to the mountaine of the Lord, to the house of the God of Iaakob, and hee will teach vs his wayes, and we will walke in his paths: for the Lawe shall go foorth of Zion, and the worde of the Lord from Ierusalem,
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 iudge among the nations, and rebuke many people: they shall breake their swords also into mattocks, and their speares into siethes: nation shall not lift vp a sworde against nation, neither shall they learne to fight any more.
5 Kom, Jakobs Hus, lad os vandre i HERRENS Lys!
O house of Iaakob, come ye, and let vs walke in the Lawe of the Lord.
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.
Surely thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Iaakob, because they are full of the East maners, and are sorcerers as the Philistims, and abound with strange children.
7 Deres Land er fuldt af Sølv og Guld, talløse er deres Skatte; deres Land er fuldt af Heste, talløse er deres Vogne;
Their land also was full of siluer and golde, and there was none ende of their treasures: and their land was full of horses, and their charets were infinite.
8 deres Land er fuldt af Afguder, de tilbeder Værk af deres Hænder, Ting, deres Fingre har lavet.
Their land also was full of idols: they worshipped the worke of their owne hands, which their owne fingers haue made.
9 Men bøjes skal Mennesket, Manden ydmyges, tilgiv dem ikke!
And a man bowed himselfe, and a man humbled himselfe: therefore spare them not.
10 Gaa ind i Klippen, skjul dig i Støvet for HERRENS Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed!
Enter into the rocke, and hide thee in the dust from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie.
11 Sine stolte Øjne skal Mennesket slaa ned, Mændenes Hovmod skal bøjes, og HERREN alene være høj paa hin Dag.
The hie looke of man shall be humbled, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord onely 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 the day of the Lord of hostes is vpon all the proude and hautie, and vpon all that is exalted: and it shalbe made lowe.
13 med alle Libanons Cedre, de knejsende høje, og alle Basans Ege,
Euen vpon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are hie and exalted, and vpon all the okes of Bashan,
14 mod alle knejsende Bjerge og alle høje Fjelde,
And vpon all the hie mountaines, and vpon all the hilles that are lifted vp,
15 mod alle stolte Taarne og alle stejle Mure,
And vpon euery hie tower, and vpon euery strong wall,
16 mod alle Tarsisskibe og hver en kostelig Ladning.
And vpon all the shippes of Tarshish, and vpon all pleasant pictures.
17 Da skal Menneskets Stolthed bøjes, Mændenes Hovmod ydmyges, og HERREN alene være høj paa hin Dag.
And the hautinesse of men shalbe brought low, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord shall onely be exalted in that day.
18 Afguderne skal helt forsvinde.
And the idoles will he vtterly destroy.
19 Og man skal gaa ind i Klippehuler og Jordhuller for HERRENS Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed naar han staar op for at forfærde Jorden.
Then they shall goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the caues of the earth, from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall arise to destroy 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
At that day shall man cast away his siluer idoles, and his golden idoles (which they had made themselues to worship them) to the mowles and to the backes,
21 for at gaa ind i Klipperevner og Fjeldkløfter for HERRENS Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed, naar han staar op for at forfærde Jorden.
To goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the toppes of the ragged rockes from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall rise to destroy 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 you from the man whose breath is in his nostrels: for wherein is he to be esteemed?
