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 twig shall grow forth out of his roots.
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 the LORD 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 the LORD.
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 the LORD; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after 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 shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the land; and he shall smite the land with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 Og Retfærd er Bæltet, han har om sin Lænd, Trofasthed Hofternes Bælte.
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
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 basilisk'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 the LORD, 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 it shall come to pass in that day, that the root of Jesse, that standeth for an ensign of the peoples, unto him shall the nations seek; 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, that 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 dispersed of Israel, and gather together the scattered 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.
The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and they that harass 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 shall they spoil the children of the east; they shall put forth their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children 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 the LORD will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with His scorching wind will He shake 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, that shall remain from Assyria, like as there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
