Esajas 62
1 For Zions Skyld vil jeg ej tie, for Jerusalems Skyld ej hvile, før dets Ret rinder op som Lys, som en luende Fakkel dets Frelse.
For Zions sake I will not holde my tongue, and for Ierusalems sake I wil not rest, vntil the righteousnes thereof breake foorth as the light, and saluation thereof as a burning lampe.
2 Din Ret skal Folkene skue og alle Konger din Ære. Et nyt Navn giver man dig, som HERRENS Mund skal nævne.
And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousnesse, and all Kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
3 Og du bliver en dejlig Krone i HERRENS Haand, et kongeligt Hovedbind i Haanden paa din Gud.
Thou shalt also be a crowne of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royall diademe in the hand of thy God.
4 Du kaldes ej mer »den forladte«, dit Land »den ensomme«; nej, »Velbehag« kaldes du selv, og dit Land kaldes »Hustru«. Thi HERREN har Velbehag i dig, dit Land skal ægtes.
It shall no more be sayd vnto thee, Forsaken, neither shall it be said any more to thy land, Desolate, but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord deliteth in thee, and thy land shall haue an husband.
5 Som Ynglingen ægter en Jomfru, saa din Bygmester dig, som Brudgom glædes ved Brud, saa din Gud ved dig.
For as a yong man marieth a virgine, so shall thy sonnes marry thee: and as a bridegrome is glad of the bride, so shall thy God reioyce ouer thee.
6 Jeg sætter Vægtere paa dine Mure, Jerusalem; ingen Sinde Dag eller Nat skal de tie. I, som minder HERREN, und jer ej Ro
I haue set watchmen vpon thy walles, O Ierusalem, which all the day and all the night continually shall not cease: ye that are mindfull of the Lord, keepe not silence,
7 og lad ham ikke i Ro, før han bygger Jerusalem, før han faar gjort Jerusalem til Pris paa Jorden.
And giue him no rest, till hee repaire and vntill hee set vp Ierusalem the prayse of the worlde.
8 HERREN svor ved sin højre, sin vældige Arm: Jeg giver ej mer dine Fjender dit Korn til Føde; Mosten, du sled for, skal Udlandets Sønner ej drikke;
The Lord hath sworne by his right hand and by his strong arme, Surely I wil no more giue thy corne to be meate for thine enemies, and surely the sonnes of the strangers shall not drinke thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured.
9 nej, de, der høster, skal spise prisende HERREN; de, der sanker, skal drikke i min hellige Forgaard.
But they that haue gathered it, shall eate it, and prayse the Lord, and the gatherers thereof shall drinke it in the courtes of my Sanctuarie.
10 Drag ud gennem Portene, drag ud, ban Folket Vej, byg Vej, byg Vej, sank alle Stenene af, rejs Banner over Folkeslagene!
Go through, go through the gates: prepare you the way for the people: cast vp, cast vp the way, and gather out the stones and set vp a standart for the people.
11 Se, HERREN lader det høres til Jordens Ende: Sig til Zions Datter: »Se, din Frelse kommer, se, hans Løn er med ham, hans Vinding foran ham!«
Beholde, the Lord hath proclaimed vnto the endes of the world: tell the daughter Zion, Beholde, thy Sauiour commeth: beholde, his wages is with him, and his worke is before him.
12 De skal kaldes: det hellige Folk, HERRENS genløste, og du: den søgte, en By, som ej er forladt.
And they shall call them, The holy people, the redeemed of the Lord, and thou shalt be named, A citie sought out and not forsaken.
