Esajas 2
1 Dette er, hvad Esajas, Amoz's Søn, skuede om Jerusalem:
The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 Det skal ske i de sidste Dage, at HERRENs Huses Bjerg, grundfæstet på Bjergenes Top, skal løfte sig op over Højene. Did skal Folkene strømme
And it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of YHWH’s house is established, Above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the heights, And all the nations have flowed to it.
3 og talrige Folkeslag vandre: "Kom, lad os drage til HERRENs Bjerg, til Jakobs Guds Hus; han skal lære os sine Veje, så vi kan gå på hans Stier; thi fra Zion udgår Åbenbaring, fra Jerusalem, HERRENs Ord:"
And many peoples have gone and said, “Come, and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, To the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
4 Da dømmer han Folk imellem, skifter Ret mellem talrige Folkeslag; deres Sværd skal de smede til Plovjern, deres Spyd til Vingårdsknive; Folk skal ej løfte Sværd mod Folk, ej øve sig i Våbenfærd mer.
And He has judged between the nations, And has given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn anymore—war.
5 Kom, Jakobs Hus, lad os vandre i HERRENs Lys!
O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of YHWH.”
6 Thi du forskød dit Folk, Jakobs Hus; de er fulde af Østens Væsen og spår, som var de Filistre, giver Folk fra Udlandet Håndslag.
For You have left Your people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And strike hands with the children of strangers.
7 Deres Land er fuldt af Sølv og Guld, talløse er deres Skatte; deres Land er fuldt af Heste, talløse er deres vogne;
And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,
8 deres Land er fuldt af Afguder, de tilbeder Værk af deres Hænder, Ting, deres Fingre har lavet.
And its land is full of idols, It bows itself to the work of its hands, To that which its fingers have made,
9 Men bøjes skal Mennesket, Manden ydmyges, tilgiv dem ikke!
And the low bows down, and the high is humbled, And You do not accept them.
10 Gå ind i Klippen, skjul dig, i Støvet for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed!
Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence.
11 Sine stolte Øjne skal Mennesket slå ned, Mændenes Hovmod skal bøjes, og HERREN alene være høj på hin Dag.
The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And the loftiness of men has been bowed down, And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
12 Thi en Dag har Hærskarers HERRE mod alt det høje og knejsende, mod alt ophøjet og stolt,
For a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
13 med alle Libanons Cedre, de knejsende høje, og alle Basans Ege,
And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
14 mod alle knejsende Bjerge og alle høje Fjelde,
And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
15 mod alle stolte Tårne og alle stejle Mure,
And for every high tower, And for every fortified wall,
16 mod alle Tarsisskibe og hver en kostelig Ladning.
And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
17 Da skal Menneskets Stolthed bøjes, Mændenes Hovmod ydmyges. og HERREN alene være høj på hin Dag.
And the haughtiness of man has been bowed down, And the loftiness of men humbled, And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
18 Afguderne skal helt forsvinde.
And the idols—they completely pass away.
19 Og man skal gå ind i Klippehuler og Jordhuller for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed når han står op for at forfærde Jorden.
And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify the earth.
20 På hin Dag skal Mennesket slænge sine Guder af Sølv og Guld, som han lavede sig for at tilbede dem, hen til Muldvarpe og Flagermus
In that day man casts his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
21 for at gå ind i Klipperevner og Fjeldkløfter for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed, når han står op for at forfærde Jorden.
To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify the earth.
22 Slå ikke mer eders Lid til Mennesker, i hvis Næse der kun er flygtig Ånde, thi hvad er de at regne for?
Cease yourselves from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?
