Esajas 30
1 Ve de genstridige Børn så lyder det fra HERREN som fuldbyrder Råd, der ej er fra mig, slutter Forbund, uden min Ånd er med, for at dynge Synd på Synd,
Woe [to] apostate sons, A declaration of YHWH! To do counsel, and not from Me, And to spread out a covering, and not of My Spirit, So as to add sin to sin.
2 de, som går ned til Ægypten uden at spørge min Mund for at værne sig ved Faraos Værn, søge Ly i Ægyptens Skygge!
Who are walking to go down to Egypt, And have not asked My mouth, To be strong in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt.
3 Faraos Værn skal blive jer til Skam og Lyet i Ægyptens Skygge til Skændsel.
And the strength of Pharaoh Has been to you for shame, And the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion,
4 Thi er end hans Fyrster i Zoan, hans Sendebud nået til Hanes,
For his princes were in Zoan, And his messengers reach Hanes.
5 enhver skal få Skam af et Folk, der ikke kan bringe dem Hjælp, ej være til Gavn eller Hjælp, men kun til Skam og Skændsel.
He made all ashamed of a people that do not profit, Not for help, and not for profit, But for shame, and also for reproach!
6 Et Udsagn om Sydlandets Dyr: Gennem Angstens og Trængselens Land, hvor Løvinde og Løve har hjemme, Giftsnog og vinget Slange, fører de på Æslers Ryg deres Gods, på Kamelers Pukkel deres Skatte til et Folk, der ikke kan hjælpe.
The burden of the beasts of the south. Into a land of adversity and distress, Of young lion and of old lion, From where [are] viper and flying, burning serpent, They carry their wealth on the shoulder of donkeys, And their treasures on the hump of camels, To a people not profitable.
7 Ægyptens Hjælp er Vind og Luft. Derfor kalder jeg det "Rahab, der hytter sig."
Indeed, Egyptians [are] vanity, and help in vain, Therefore I have cried concerning this: “Their strength [is] to sit still.”
8 Gå nu hen og skriv det på en Tavle i deres Påsyn og optegn det i en Bog, at det i kommende Tider kan stå som Vidnesbyrd evindelig.
No, go in, write it on a tablet with them, And inscribe it on a scroll, And it is for a latter day, for a witness for all time,
9 Thi det er et stivsindet Folk, svigefulde Børn, Børn, der ikke vil høre HERRENs Lov,
That this [is] a people of rebellion, sons—liars, Sons not willing to hear the Law of YHWH.
10 som siger til Seerne: "Se ingen Syner!" til fremsynte: "Skuer os ikke det rette! Tal Smiger til os, skuer os Blændværk,
Who have said to seers, “Do not see,” And to prophets, “Do not prophesy to us straightforward things, Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits,
11 vig bort fra Vejen, bøj af fra Stien, lad os være i Fred for Israels Hellige!"
Turn aside from the way, Decline from the path, Cause the Holy One of Israel To cease from before us.”
12 Derfor, så siger Israels Hellige: Siden I ringeagter dette Ord og stoler på krumt og kroget og støtter jer til det,
Therefore, thus said the Holy One of Israel: “Because of your kicking against this word, And you trust in oppression, And perverseness, and rely on it,
13 derfor skal denne Brøde blive for eder som en truende, voksende Revne i en knejsende Mur, hvis Fald vil indtræffe brat, lige i et Nu;
Therefore this iniquity is to you as a breach falling, Swelled out in a wall set on high, Whose destruction comes suddenly, in an instant.
14 den sønderbrydes som Lerkar; der skånselsløst knuses; blandt Stumperne finder man ikke et Skår, hvori man kan hente en Glød fra Bålet eller øse Vand af Brønden.
And He has broken it As the breaking of the potters’ bottle, Beaten down—He does not spare, Nor is there found, in its beating down, A potsherd to take fire from the burning, And to draw out waters from a ditch.”
15 Thi således sagde den Herre HERREN, Israels Hellige: Ved Omvendelse og Stilhed skal I frelses, i Ro og Tillid er eders Styrke.
For thus said Lord YHWH, The Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you are saved, In keeping quiet and in confidence is your might,” And you have not been willing.
16 Men I vilde ikke; I sagde: "Nej, vi jager på Heste" I skal derfor jages!"Vi rider på Rapfod" I skal derfor forfølges af rappe.
And you say, “No, for we flee on a horse,” Therefore you flee, And, “We ride on the swift!” Therefore your pursuers are swift.
17 Tusind skal fly for een, som truer; Flugten skal I tage for fem, som truer, til I kun er en Rest som Stangen på Bjergets Tinde, som Banneret oppe på Højen.
One thousand [flee] because of the rebuke of one, Because of the rebuke of five you flee, Until you have surely been left as a pole On the top of the mountain, And as an ensign on the height.
18 Derfor længes HERREN efter at vise eder Nåde, derfor står han op for at forbarme sig over eder. Thi Rettens Gud er HERREN; salige alle, der længes efter ham!
And therefore YHWH waits to favor you, And therefore He is exalted to pity you, For YHWH [is] a God of judgment, O the blessedness of all waiting for Him.
19 Ja, du Folk i Zion, du, som bor i Jerusalem, lad ikke Gråden overmande dig! Nådig vil han vise dig Nåde, når du råber; så snart han hører dig, svarer han.
For the people in Zion dwell in Jerusalem, Do not weep—weeping, Pitying, He pities you at the voice of your cry, When He hears He answers you.
20 Herren skal give eder Trængselsbrød og Fængselsdrik; men så skal din Vejleder ikke mere dølge sig, dine, Øjne skal skue din Vejleder;
And the Lord has given to you bread of adversity, And water of oppression. And your teachers remove no longer, And your eyes have seen your teachers,
21 dine Ører skal høre det Ord bag ved dig: "Her er Vejen, I skal gå!" hver Gang I er ved at vige til højre eller venstre.
And your ear hears a word behind you, saying, “This [is] the way, go in it,” When you turn to the right, And when you turn to the left.
22 Da skal du holde dine Sølvbilleders Overtræk og dine Guldbilleders Klædning for urene; du skal slænge dem bort som Skarn. "Herud!" skal du sige til dem.
And you have defiled the covering of Your carved images of silver, And the ephod of your molten image of gold, You scatter them as a sickening thing, “Go out,” you say to it.
23 Da giver han Regn til Sæden, du, sår i din Jord; og Brødet, som din Jord bærer, skal være kraftigt og nærende. På hin Dag græsser dit Kvæg på vide Vange;
And He has given rain [for] your seed, With which you sow the ground, And bread, the increase of the ground, And it has been fat and plentiful, Your livestock enjoy an enlarged pasture in that day.
24 Okserne og Æslerne, der arbejder på Marken, skal æde saltet Blandfoder, renset med Kasteskovl og Fork.
And the oxen and the young donkeys serving the ground, Eat fermented provender, That one is winnowing with shovel and fan.
25 På hvert højt Bjerg og hver knejsende Banke skal Kilder vælde frem med rindende Vand på det store Blodbads Dag, når Tårne falder.
And there has been on every high mountain, And on every exalted hill, Streams—conduits of waters, In a day of much slaughter, in the falling of towers.
26 Månens Lys skal blive som Solens, og Solens Lys skal blive syvfold stærkere, som syv Dages Lys, på hin Dag da HERREN forbinder sit Folks Brud og læger dets slagne Sår.
And the light of the moon has been as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun is sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day of YHWH’s binding up the breach of His people, When He heals the stroke of its wound.
27 Se, HERRENs Navn kommer langvejsfra i brændende Vrede, med tunge Skyer; hans Læber skummer af Vrede, fortærende Ild er hans Tunge,
Behold, the Name of YHWH is coming from far, His anger is burning, and the flame [is] great, His lips have been full of indignation, And His tongue [is] as a devouring fire.
28 hans Ånde som en rivende Strøm, der når til Halsen. Folkene ryster han i Undergangens Sold, lægger Vildelsens Bidsel i Folkeslags Mund.
And His breath [is] as an overflowing stream, It divides to the neck, To sift nations with a sieve of vanity, And a bridle causing to err, [Is] on the jaws of the peoples.
29 Sang skal der være hos eder som i Natten, når Højtid går ind, en Hjertens Glæde som en Vandring til Fløjte mod HERRENs Bjerg, mod Israels Klippe.
Singing is to you as in a night sanctified for a festival, And joy of heart as he who is going with a pipe, To go to the mountain of YHWH, To the rock of Israel.
30 HERREN lader høre sin Højheds Røst og viser sin Arm, der slår ned med fnysende Vrede, ædende Lue, Skybrud, skyllende Regn og Hagl.
And YHWH has caused The splendor of His voice to be heard, And the coming down of His arm He shows with the raging of anger, And the flame of a consuming fire, Scattering, and inundation, and hailstone.
31 For HERRENs Røst bliver Assur ræd, med Kæppen slår han;
For from the voice of YHWH Asshur [is] broken down, He strikes with a rod.
32 hvert et Slag af Tugtelsens Stok, som HERREN lader falde på Assur, er til Paukers og Citres Klang; med Svingnings Kampe kæmper han mod det.
And every passage of the settled staff, That YHWH causes to rest on him, Has been with tambourines and with harps, And in battles of shaking He has fought with it.
33 Thi for længst står et Alter rede mon det og er rejst for Molok? han gjorde dets Ildfang dybt og bredt, bragte Ild og Ved i Mængde; HERRENs Ånde sætter det i Brand som en Strøm af Svovl.
For Tophet is arranged from former time, Even it is prepared for the king, He has made deep, He has made large, Its pile [is] fire and much wood, The breath of YHWH, As a stream of brimstone, is burning in it!
