Esajas 34
1 Kom hid, I Folk, og hør, lån Øre, I Folkefærd! Jorden og dens Fylde høre, Jorderig og al dets Grøde!
Draw near O nations to hear and O peoples pay attention let it hear the earth and what fills it [the] world and all produce its.
2 Thi HERREN er vred på alle Folkene, harmfuld på al deres Hær; han slår dem med Band og giver dem hen til at slagtes;
For wrath [belongs] to Yahweh towards all the nations and rage towards every army their he will totally destroy them he will deliver up them to slaughter.
3 henslængt ligger de dræbte, Stank stiger op fra Ligene, Bjergene flyder af Blodet;
And slain [ones] their they will be thrown out and corpses their it will go up stench their and they will melt away mountains from blood their.
4 al Himlens Hær opløses; som en Bog rulles Himlen sammen, og al dens Hær visner hen som Vinstokkens visnende Blad, som Figentræets visnende Frugt.
And they will rot away all [the] host of the heavens and they will be rolled up like scroll the heavens and all host their it will wither as withers leafage from a vine and like withered fruit from a fig tree.
5 Thi på Himlen kredser HERRENs Sværd, og se, det slår ned på Edom, det Folk, han har bandlyst til Dom.
If it has drunk its fill in the heavens sword my there! on Edom it will come down and on [the] people of total destruction my for judgment.
6 HERRENs Sværd er fuldt af Blod, det drypper af Fedt, af Fårs og Bukkes Blod, af Fedt fra Vædres Nyrer. Thi HERREN slagter Offer i Bozra har vældig Slagtning i Edom;
A sword [belongs] to Yahweh it is full blood it has fattened itself from fat from [the] blood of lambs and goats from [the] fat of [the] kidneys of rams for a sacrifice [belongs] to Yahweh in Bozrah and a slaughter great in [the] land of Edom.
7 Urokser styrter med dem, Ungkvæg sammen med Tyre. Landet svælger i Blod, Jorden drypper af Fedt.
And they will go down wild oxen with them and young bulls with mighty [bulls] and it will drink its fill land their from blood and dust their from fat it will be fattened.
8 Thi en Hævndag har HERREN til Rede, Zions Værge et Gengældsår.
For a day of vengeance [belongs] to Yahweh a year of retribution for [the] cause of Zion.
9 Dets Bække forvandles til Tjære, dets Jord til Svovl, og Landet bliver til Tjære, der brænder ved Nat og ved Dag,
And they will be changed torrents its into pitch and dust its into sulfur and it will become land its pitch burning.
10 det slukkes aldrig; evigt stiger Røgen op, det er øde fra Slægt til Slægt, ingen skal færdes der.
Night and by day not it will be extinguished for ever it will go up smoke its from generation to generation it will be desolate to perpetuity of perpetuities there not [will be one who] passes in it.
11 Pelikan og Rørdrum arver det, Ugle og Ravn skal bo der. HERREN spænder Tomheds Snor og Ødelæggelses Blylod derover.
And they will take possession of it desert owl and hedgehog and great owl and raven they will dwell in it and he will stretch out over it a measuring-line of formlessness and stones of emptiness.
12 Der skal Bukketrolde bo, dets ypperste bliver til intet, til Kongevalg kaldes ej der, det er ude med alle dets Fyrster.
Nobles its and there not there [will be that which] a kingship people will call and all princes its they will be nothing.
13 Dets Paladser gror til i Tom, dets Borge i Tidsel og Nælde, et Tilholdssted for Hyæner og Enemærke for Strudse.
And it will grow up fortresses its thorns nettle[s] and thornbush[es] [will be] on fortifications its and it will be a habitation of jackals grass for daughters of an ostrich.
14 Der mødes Sjakal med Vildkat, og Bukketrolde holder Stævne; kun der skal Natteheksen raste og lægge sig der til Ro;
And they will meet desert-dwellers hyenas and goat to companion its it will call surely there it will rest [the] night-creature and it will find for itself a resting place.
15 der bygger Pilslangen Rede, lægger Æg og samler dem og ruger. Kun der skal Gribbene flokkes, ej savner den ene den anden.
There it will make a nest owl[s] and it laid eggs and it will hatch and it will gather a brood in shadow its surely there they will be gathered black kites each companion its.
16 Se efter i HERRENs Bog og læs: Ej fattes en eneste af dem, ej savner den ene den anden. Thi HERRENs Mund, den bød, hans Ånd har samlet dem sammen;
Seek from on [the] scroll of Yahweh and read one of them not it will be missing each companion its not they will miss for mouth my it it has commanded and spirit his it it will gather them.
17 han kastede Loddet for dem, hans Hånd udskifted dem Land med Snoren; de tager det evigt i Eje, bor der fra Slægt til Slægt.
And he he has cast for them a lot and hand his it has distributed it to them by the measuring-line until perpetuity they will possess it to a generation and a generation they will dwell in it.
