Esajas 33
1 Ve dig, du Hærværksmand, selv ikke hærget, du Ransmand, skånet for Ran! Når dit Hærværk er endt, skal du hærges, når din Ranen har Ende, skal der ranes fra dig!
Woe to thee who destroys, and thou were not destroyed, and deal treacherously, and they did not deal treacherously with thee! When thou have ceased to destroy, thou shall be destroyed, and when thou have made an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 HERRE, vær os nådig, vi bier på dig, vær du vor Arm hver Morgen, vor Frelse i Nødens Stund!
O Jehovah, be gracious to us, we have waited for thee. Be thou our arm every morning, also our salvation in the time of trouble.
3 For Bulderet må Folkeslag fly; når du rejser dig, splittes Folkene.
At the noise of the tumult the peoples have fled. At the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered.
4 Som Græshopper bortriver, bortrives Bytte, man styrter derover som Græshoppesværme.
And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. As locusts leap, men shall leap upon it.
5 Ophøjet er HERREN, thi han bor i det høje, han fylder Zion med Ret og Retfærd.
Jehovah is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 Trygge Tider skal du have, en Frelsesrigdom er Visdom og Indsigt, HERRENs Frygt er din Skat.
And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Jehovah is thy treasure.
7 Se, deres Helte skriger derude, Fredens Sendebud græder bittert;
Behold, their valiant ones cry outside. The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 Vejene er øde, vejfarende borte. Han brød sin Pagt, agted Byer ringe, Mennesker regned han ikke.
The highways lie waste. The wayfaring man ceases. The enemy has broken the covenant. He has despised the cities. He does not regard man.
9 Landet blegner og sygner, Libanon skæmmes og visner; Saron er som en Ørken, Basan og Karmel uden Løv.
The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
10 Nu står jeg op, siger HERREN, nu vil jeg rejse mig, nu træde frem!
Now I will arise, says Jehovah. Now I will lift up myself. Now I will be exalted.
11 I undfanger Strå og føder Halm, eders Ånde er Ild, der fortærer jer selv;
Ye shall conceive chaff. Ye shall bring forth stubble. Your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
12 til Kalk skal Folkene brændes som afhugget Torn, der brænder i Ild.
And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime, as thorns cut down that are burned in the fire.
13 Hvad jeg gør, skal rygtes til fjerne Folk, nære skal kende min Vælde.
Hear, ye who are far off, what I have done, and ye who are near, acknowledge my might.
14 På Zion skal Syndere bæve, Niddinger gribes af Skælven: "Hvem kan bo ved fortærende Ild, hvem kan bo ved evige Bål?"
The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the profane. Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 Den, der vandrer i Retfærd og taler oprigtigt, ringeagter Vinding, vundet ved Uret, vægrer sig ved at tage mod Gave, tilstopper Øret over for Blodråd og lukker Øjnene over for det onde -
He who walks righteously, and speaks uprightly. He who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes away his hands from taking a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking upon evil.
16 højt skal en sådan bo, hans Værn skal Klippeborge være; han får sit Brød, og Vand er ham sikret.
He shall dwell on high. His place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks. His bread shall be given. His waters shall be sure.
17 Dine Øjne får Kongen at se i hans Skønhed, de skuer et vidtstrakt Land.
Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty. They shall behold a land that reaches afar.
18 Dit Hjerte skal tænke på Rædselen: "Hvor er nu han, der talte og vejede, han, der talte Tårnene?"
Thy heart shall muse on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed the tribute? Where is he who counted the towers?
19 Du ser ej det vilde Folk med dybt, uforståeligt Mål, med stammende, ufattelig Tunge.
Thou shall not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou cannot comprehend, of a strange tongue that thou cannot understand.
20 Se på Zion, vore Højtiders By! Dine Øjne skal skue Jerusalem, et sikkert Lejrsted, et Telt, der ej flytter, hvis Pæle aldrig rykkes op, hvis Snore ej rives over.
Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities. Thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed. The stakes of which shall never be plucked up, nor shall any of the cords of it be broken.
21 Nej der træder HERRENs Bæk for os i Floders og brede Strømmes Sted; der kan ej Åreskib gå, ej vældigt Langskib sejle.
But Jehovah will be with us there in majesty. A place of broad rivers and streams, in which shall go no galley with oars, nor shall a gallant ship pass thereby.
22 Thi HERREN er vor Dommer, HERREN er vor Hersker, HERREN er vor Konge, han bringer os Frelse.
For Jehovah is our judge. Jehovah is our lawgiver. Jehovah is our king, he will save us.
23 Slapt hænger dit Tovværk, det holder ej Råen og spænder ej Sejlet. Da uddeles røvet Bytte i Overflod, halte tager Del i Rovet.
Thy tacklings are loosed. They could not strengthen the foot of their mast. They could not spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil was divided. The lame took the prey.
24 Ingen Indbygger siger: "Jeg er syg!" Folket der har sin Synd forladt.
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick. The people who dwell in it shall be forgiven their iniquity.
