Esajas 11

1 Men der skyder en Kvist af Isajs Stub, et Skud gror frem af hans Rod;

And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse. And a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit.

2 og HERRENs Ånd skal hvile over ham, Visdoms og Forstands Ånd, Råds og Styrkes Ånd, HERRENs Kundskabs og Frygts Ånd.

And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.

3 Hans Hu står til HERRENs Frygt; han dømmer ej efter, hvad Øjnene ser, skønner ej efter, hvad Ørene hører.

And his delight shall be in the fear of Jehovah. And he shall not judge according to the sight of his eyes, nor decide according to the hearing of his ears,

4 Han dømmer de ringe med Retfærd, fælder redelig Dom over Landets arme. Voldsmanden slår han med Mundens Ris, gudløse dræber han med Læbernes Ånde.

but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.

5 Og Retfærd er Bæltet, han har om sin Lænd, Trofasthed Hofternes Bælte.

And righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins.

6 Og Ulven skal gå hos Lammet, Panteren hvile hos Kiddet, Kalven og Ungløven græsse sammen, dem driver en lille Dreng.

And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.

7 Kvien og Bjørnen bliver Venner, deres Unger ligger Side om Side, og Løven æder Strå som Oksen;

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together. And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 den spæde skal lege ved Øglens Hul, den afvante række sin Hånd til Giftslangens Rede.

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.

9 Der gøres ej ondt og voldes ej Men i hele mit hellige Bjergland; thi Landet er fuldt af HERRENs Kundskab, som Vandene dækker Havets Bund.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters cover the sea.

10 På hin Dag skal Hedningerne søge til Isajs Rodskud, der står som et Banner for Folkeslagene, og hans Bolig skal være herlig.

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and he who arises to rule over the Gentiles. In him shall the Gentiles hope, and his resting-place shall be glorious.

11 På hin Dag skal Herren atter udrække sin Hånd for at vinde, hvad der er til Rest af hans Folk, fra Assur og fra Ægypten, fra Patros, Ætiopien og Elam, fra Sinear, Hamat og Havets Strande.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

12 For Folkene rejser han Banner, samler Israels bortdrevne Mænd, sanker Judas spredte Kvinder fra Verdens fire Hjørner.

And he will set up an ensign for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

13 Efraims Skinsyge viger, og Judas Avind svinder; Efraim er ikke skinsygt på Juda, og Juda bærer ej Avind mod Efraim.

Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart, and those who vex Judah shall be cut off. Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

14 I Vest slår de ned på Filisternes Skulder, sammen plyndrer de Østens Sønner, mod Edom og Moab rækker de Hånden, Ammons Sønner lyder dem.

And they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines on the west. Together they shall despoil the sons of the east. They shall put forth their hand upon Edom and Moab, and the sons of Ammon shall obey them.

15 HERREN udtørrer Ægypterhavets Vig og svinger Hånden mod Floden i sin Ånds Vælde; han kløver den i syv Bække, så man kan gå over med Sko;

And Jehovah will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea. And with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will smite it into seven streams, and cause men to march over dry shod.

16 der bliver en banet Vej for dem af hans Folk, som levnes fra Assyrien, således som der var for Israel, da det drog op fra Ægypten.

And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Assyria, like as there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
