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 Zion’s sake I am not silent, And for Jerusalem’s sake I do not rest, Until her righteousness goes out as brightness, And her salvation burns as a torch.
2 Din Ret skal Folkene skue og alle Konger din Ære. Et nyt Navn giver man dig, som HERRENS Mund skal nævne.
And nations have seen your righteousness, And all kings your glory, And He is giving a new name to you, That the mouth of YHWH defines.
3 Og du bliver en dejlig Krone i HERRENS Haand, et kongeligt Hovedbind i Haanden paa din Gud.
And you have been a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, And a turban of royalty in the hand of your 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 is not said of you anymore, “Forsaken!” And of your land it is not said anymore, “Desolate,” For to you is cried, “My delight [is] in her,” And to your land, “Married,” For YHWH has delighted in you, And your land is married.
5 Som Ynglingen ægter en Jomfru, saa din Bygmester dig, som Brudgom glædes ved Brud, saa din Gud ved dig.
For a young man marries a virgin, Your builders marry you, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Your God rejoices over you.
6 Jeg sætter Vægtere paa dine Mure, Jerusalem; ingen Sinde Dag eller Nat skal de tie. I, som minder HERREN, und jer ej Ro
“On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.” O you remembering YHWH, do not keep silence for yourselves,
7 og lad ham ikke i Ro, før han bygger Jerusalem, før han faar gjort Jerusalem til Pris paa Jorden.
And do not give silence to Him, Until He establishes, and until He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
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;
YHWH has sworn by His right hand, Even by the arm of His strength: “I do not give your grain anymore [as] food for your enemies, Nor do sons of a stranger drink your new wine, For which you have labored.
9 nej, de, der høster, skal spise prisende HERREN; de, der sanker, skal drikke i min hellige Forgaard.
For those gathering it eat it, and have praised YHWH, And those collecting it drink it in My holy courts.”
10 Drag ud gennem Portene, drag ud, ban Folket Vej, byg Vej, byg Vej, sank alle Stenene af, rejs Banner over Folkeslagene!
Pass on, pass on through the gates, Prepare the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign over the peoples.
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!«
Behold, YHWH has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation has come, Behold, His hire [is] with Him, And His wage before Him.”
12 De skal kaldes: det hellige Folk, HERRENS genløste, og du: den søgte, en By, som ej er forladt.
And they have cried to them, “The People of the Holy One! The Redeemed of YHWH!” Indeed, to you is called, “The sought out one, a city not forsaken!”
