Esajas 2
1 Dette er, hvad Esajas, Amoz's Søn, skuede om Jerusalem:
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw 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 shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto 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 shall go and say, come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD 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 shall judge between the nations, and shall reprove many peoples: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 Kom, Jakobs Hus, lad os vandre i HERRENs Lys!
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
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 thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be filled [with customs] from the east, and [are] soothsayers like the Philistines, and they 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;
Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
8 deres Land er fuldt af Afguder, de tilbeder Værk af deres Hænder, Ting, deres Fingre har lavet.
Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
9 Men bøjes skal Mennesket, Manden ydmyges, tilgiv dem ikke!
And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low; therefore forgive them not.
10 Gå ind i Klippen, skjul dig, i Støvet for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed!
Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 Sine stolte Øjne skal Mennesket slå ned, Mændenes Hovmod skal bøjes, og HERREN alene være høj på hin Dag.
The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 Thi en Dag har Hærskarers HERRE mod alt det høje og knejsende, mod alt ophøjet og stolt,
For there shall be a day of the LORD of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low:
13 med alle Libanons Cedre, de knejsende høje, og alle Basans Ege,
and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 mod alle knejsende Bjerge og alle høje Fjelde,
and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up;
15 mod alle stolte Tårne og alle stejle Mure,
and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fenced wall;
16 mod alle Tarsisskibe og hver en kostelig Ladning.
and upon all the ships of Tarshish; and upon all pleasant imagery.
17 Da skal Menneskets Stolthed bøjes, Mændenes Hovmod ydmyges. og HERREN alene være høj på hin Dag.
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 Afguderne skal helt forsvinde.
And the idols shall utterly 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 shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily 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 a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made for him to worship, to the moles and to the 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 go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily 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 ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
