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 [Mountain ridge, Marking]’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem [City of peace]’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out like the dawn, and her yishu'ah ·salvation· like a blazing torch.
2 Din Ret skal Folkene skue og alle Konger din Ære. Et nyt Navn giver man dig, som HERRENS Mund skal nævne.
The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your kavod ·weighty glory·, and you will be called by a new name, which Adonai’s mouth will name.
3 Og du bliver en dejlig Krone i HERRENS Haand, et kongeligt Hovedbind i Haanden paa din Gud.
You will also be a crown of beauty in Adonai’s hand, and a royal diadem ·crown· in your God’s hand.
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.
You will not be called Forsaken any more; nor will your land be called Desolate any more: but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for Adonai delights in you, and your land will be married.
5 Som Ynglingen ægter en Jomfru, saa din Bygmester dig, som Brudgom glædes ved Brud, saa din Gud ved dig.
For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice 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
I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem [City of peace]. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on Adonai, take no rest,
7 og lad ham ikke i Ro, før han bygger Jerusalem, før han faar gjort Jerusalem til Pris paa Jorden.
and give him no rest, until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem [City of peace] a tehilah ·praise song· 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;
Adonai has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, “Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners will not 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.
but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise Adonai; and those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”
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 the way of the people! Build up, build up the highway! Gather out the stones! Lift up a banner for 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, Adonai has sh'ma ·hear obey, proclaimed· unto the end of the earth, “Say to the daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], ‘Behold, your yesha' ·salvation· comes. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.’”
12 De skal kaldes: det hellige Folk, HERRENS genløste, og du: den søgte, en By, som ej er forladt.
They will call them The holy people, Adonai’s redeemed. You will be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
