Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What troubles thee now, that thou have wholly gone up to the housetops?
Profeti imod Synernes Dal. Hvad fattes dig dog, at du med alle dine saaledes stiger op paa Tagene?
2 O thou that are full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town. Thy slain are not slain with the sword, nor are they dead in battle.
Du, som var fuld af Brusen, du støjende Stad, du jublende By! dine ihjelslagne ere ikke ihjelslagne med Sværd og ikke døde i Krigen.
3 All thy rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found of thee were bound together; they fled afar off.
Alle dine Fyrster ere flygtede til Hobe, tiden Bue ere de fangne; alle; som fandtes i dig, ere fangne, til Hobe, de maatte fly langt bort.
4 Therefore I said, Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Labor not to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Derfor siger jeg: Ser bort fra mig, jeg vil beskelig græde; trænger ikke paa for at trøste mig over mit Folks Datters Ødelæggelse.
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.
Thi der er en Forstyrrelses og Nedtrædelses og Forvirrings Dag fra Herren, den Herre Zebaoth, i Synernes Dal, paa Hvilken Murene blive nedbrudte, og man raaber imod Bjergene.
6 And Elam bore the quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
Og Elam bar Kogger, fulgt af Vogne med Mænd paa og af Ryttere, og Kir blottede Skjoldet.
7 And it came to pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
Og det skete, at dine udvalgte Dale bleve fulde af Vogne, og Ryttere toge Stilling imod Porten.
8 And he took away the covering of Judah, and thou looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.
Og han borttog Dækket fra Juda; og du saa dig om paa den Dag efter Rustningen i Skovhuset.
9 And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many. And to fortify the wall, ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool,
Og I saa Revnerne paa Davids Stad, at de vare mange, og I samlede den nederste Dams Vand.
10 and ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye broke down the houses.
Og I talte Jerusalems-Huse og nedbrøde Huse for at befæste Muren.
11 Ye also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But ye did not look to him who had done this, nor had ye respect to him who purposed it long ago.
Og I gjorde en Grav imellem de tvende Mure for Vandet af den gamle Dam; men I saa ikke hen til ham, som havde beskikket det, til ham, som havde besluttet det for lang Tid siden, saa I ikke.
12 And in that day the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, called for weeping, and for mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.
Og Herren, den Herre Zebaoth, opfordrede paa den Dag til Graad og Sorg og til at gøre Hovedet skaldet og til at ombinde sig med Sæk.
13 And, behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.
Men se, der er Fryd og Glæde, man ihjelslaar Øksne og slagter Faar, æder Kød og drikker Vin: „Lader os æde og drikke; thi vi skulle dø i Morgen!‟
14 And Jehovah of hosts revealed himself in my ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you till ye die, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Men den Herre Zebaoth har saaledes aabenbaret sig for mine Øren: Denne Misgerning skal ikke udsones for eder, inden I dø! siger Herren, den Herre Zebaoth.
15 Thus says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, Go, get thee to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
Saa sagde Herren, den Herre Zebaoth: Gak, kom ind til denne Rentemester, til Sebna, som er Hofmester, og sig til ham:
16 What are thou doing here? And whom have thou here, that thou have hewed thee out here a sepulcher? Hewing him out a sepulcher on high, carving a habitation for himself in the rock!
Hvad har du her? og hvem har du her, at du har hugget dig her en Grav? som den, der lader hugge sin Grav i det høje, som den, der lader sig en Bolig udhule i Klippen!
17 Behold, Jehovah, like a strong man, will hurl thee away violently. Yea, he will wrap thee up closely.
Se, Herren skal bortkaste dig med et Kast, du Mand! og skjule dig aldeles.
18 He will surely wind thee round and round, tossing like a ball into a large country. There thou shall die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be, thou shame of thy lord's house.
Han skal sno dig sammen i en Snoning, som en Bold, hen til et vidt og bredt Land; der skal du dø, og der skulle dine herlige Vogne komme hen, du, som er en Skændsel for din Herres Hus!
19 And I will thrust thee from thine office, and thou shall be pulled down from thy station.
Og jeg vil støde dig ned fra dit Stade, og han skal nedkaste dig fra din Plads,
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah.
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, da vil jeg kalde ad min Tjener Eliakim, Hilkias Søn.
21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy belt. And I will commit thy government into his hand, and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
Og jeg vil iføre ham din Kjortel og styrke ham med dit Bælte og give dit Herredømme i hans Haand; og han skal være en Fader for dem, som bo i Jerusalem, og for Judas Hus.
22 And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, and he shall open, and none shall shut, and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Og jeg vil lægge Nøglen til Davids Hus paa hans Skuldre, og han skal oplade, og ingen skal tillukke, og han skal tillukke, og ingen skal oplade.
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place, and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house.
Og jeg vil fæste ham som en Nagle paa et fast Sted, og han skal være et Ærens Sæde for sin Faders Hus.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flagons.
Og de skulle hænge paa ham al hans Faders Hus's Herlighed, de ædle og de vilde Skud, alle Smaakar, baade Bægere og alle Flasker.
25 In that day, says Jehovah of hosts, the nail that was fastened in a sure place shall give way, and it shall be hewn down, and fall. And the burden that was upon it shall be cut off, for Jehovah has spoken it.
Paa den Dag, siger den Herre Zebaoth, skal Naglen borttages, den, som var fæstet paa et fast Sted, og den skal afhugges og falde, og den Byrde, som hang derpaa, skal ødelægges; thi Herren har talt det.
