Esajas 42
1 Se min Tjener, ved hvem jeg min udvalgte, hvem jeg har kær! På ham har jeg lagt min Ånd, han skal udbrede Ret til Folkene.
Here! servant my [whom] I support him chosen one my [whom] it is pleased with self my I have put spirit my on him justice to the nations he will bring forth.
2 Han råber og skriger ikke, løfter ej Røsten på Gaden,
Not he will cry out and not he will lift up and not he will make heard in the street voice his.
3 bryder ej knækket Rør og slukker ej rygende Tande. Han udbreder Ret med Troskab,
A reed crushed not he will break and a wick dim not he will extinguish it to faithfulness he will bring forth justice.
4 vansmægter, udmattes ikke, før han får sat Ret på Jorden; og fjerne Strande bier på hans Lov.
Not he will grow dim and not he will be crushed until he will establish on the earth justice and for instruction his islands they will wait.
5 Så siger Gud HERREN, som skabte og udspændte Himlen, udbredte Jorden med dens Grøde, gav Folkene på den Åndedræt og dem, som vandrer der, Ånde.
Thus he says God - Yahweh [who] created the heavens and [who] stretched out them [who] spread out the earth and produce its [who] gives breath to the people on it and spirit to [those who] walk on it.
6 Jeg, HERREN, har kaldet dig i Retfærd og grebet dig fast om Hånd; jeg vogter dig, og jeg gør dig til Folkepagt, til Hedningelys
I Yahweh I have called you in righteousness and I may take hold on hand your and I may watch over you and I may make you a covenant of [the] people a light of [the] nations.
7 for at åbne de blinde Øjne og føre de fangne fra Fængslet, fra Fangehullet Mørkets Gæster.
To open eyes blind to bring out from prison prisoner[s] from a house of imprisonment [those who] dwell of darkness.
8 Jeg er HERREN, så lyder mit Navn. Jeg giver ej andre min Ære, ej Gudebilleder min Pris.
I [am] Yahweh that [is] name my and glory my to another not I will give and praise my to images.
9 Hvad jeg forudsagde, se, det er sket, jeg forkynder nu nye Ting, kundgør dem, før de spirer frem.
The former [things] there! they have come and new [things] I [am] about to tell before they will spring up I will cause to hear [them] you.
10 Syng HERREN en ny Sang, hans Pris over Jorden vide; Havet og dets Fylde skal juble, fjerne Strande og de, som bebor dem;
Sing to Yahweh a song new praise his from [the] end of the earth O [those who] go down the sea and what fills it O islands and inhabitants their.
11 Ørkenen og dens Byer stemmer i, de Lejre, hvor Kedar bor; Klippeboerne jubler, råber fra Bjergenes Tinder;
Let them lift up [the] wilderness and cities its [the] villages [where] it dwells Kedar let them shout for joy [the] inhabitants of Sela from [the] top of [the] mountains let them cry aloud.
12 HERREN giver de Ære, forkynder hans Pris på fjerne Strande.
Let them give to Yahweh glory and praise his in the islands let them declare.
13 HERREN drager ud som en Helt, han vækker som en Stridsmand sin Kamplyst, han udstøder Krigsskrig, han brøler, æsker sine Fjender til Strid.
Yahweh like warrior he will go forth like a man of war he will stir up zeal he will raise a war-cry also he will raise a battle-shout over enemies his he will prevail.
14 En Evighed lang har jeg tiet, været tavs og lagt Bånd på mig selv; nu skriger jeg som Kvinde i Barnsnød, stønner og snapper efter Luft.
I have been silent from a long time I have kept silent I have restrained myself like [woman] giving birth I groan I puff and I may pant together.
15 Jeg gør Bjerge og Høje tørre, afsvider alt deres Grønt, gør Strømme til udtørret Land, og Sumpe lægger jeg tørre.
I will lay waste mountains and hills and all vegetation their I will dry up and I will make rivers islands and pools I will dry up.
16 Jeg fører blinde ad ukendt Vej, leder dem ad ukendte Stier, gør Mørket foran dem til Lys og Bakkelandet til Slette. Det er de Ting, jeg gør, og dem går jeg ikke fra.
And I will lead blind [people] by a way [which] not they have known by paths [which] not they have known I will guide them I will make [the] dark place before them light and rough places level ground these [are] the things [which] I will do them and not I will abandon them.
17 Vige og dybt beskæmmes skal de, som stoler på Billeder, som siger til støbte Billeder: "I er vore Guder!"
They will be turned back backwards they will be ashamed shame those [who] trust in idol those [who] say to a molten image you [are] god our.
18 I, som er døve, hør, løft Blikket, I blinde, og se!
O deaf [people] listen and O blind [people] look to see.
19 Hvo er blind, om ikke min Tjener, og døv som Budet, jeg sendte? Hvo er blind som min håndgangne Mand, blind som HERRENs Tjener?
Who? [is] blind that except servant my and deaf like messenger my [whom] I will send who? [is] blind like [one] in a covenant and blind like [the] servant of Yahweh.
20 Meget så han, men ænsed det ikke, trods åbne Ører hørte han ej.
(You have seen *Q(K)*) many [things] and not you keep [them] they are open ears and not he listens.
21 For sin Retfærds Skyld vilde HERREN løfte Loven til Højhed og Ære.
Yahweh he was pleased for [the] sake of righteousness his he will make great [the] law so he may make [it] glorious.
22 Men Folket er plyndret og hærget; de er alle bundet i Huler, skjult i Fangers Huse, til Ran blev de, ingen redder, til Plyndring, ingen siger: "Slip dem!"
And it [is] a people despoiled and plundered they are trapped in holes all of them and in houses of imprisonment they are hidden they have become spoil and there not [is] a deliverer plunder and there not [is one who] says bring [it] back.
23 Hvem af jer vil lytte til dette, mærke sig og fremtidig høre det:
Who? among you will he give ear to this will he pay attention? and he may listen? to afterwards.
24 Hvo hengav Jakob til Plyndring, gav Israel hen til Ransmænd? Mon ikke HERREN: mod hvem vi synded, hvis Veje de ej vilde vandre, hvis Lov de ikke hørte?
Who? has he given (to plunder *Q(K)*) Jacob and Israel to despoilers ¿ not [was it] Yahweh whom we have sinned to him and not they were willing in ways his to walk and not they listened to law his.
25 Han udgød over det Harme, sin Vrede og Krigens Vælde; den luede om det, det ænsed det ej, den sved det, det tog sig det ikke til Hjerte.
And he poured out on it rage anger his and [the] fierceness of battle and it set ablaze it from round about and not it knew and it burned it and not it put [it] on heart.
