Isaiah 27
1 In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent, and he will kill the monster that is in the sea.
Paa den Dag skal Herren med sit haarde og store og stærke Sværd hjemsøge Leviathan, den flygtende Slange, og Leviathan, den bugtede Slange, og han skal ihjelslaa. Uhyret, som er i Havet.
2 In that day is a vineyard of wine. Sing ye to it.
Paa den Dag synger om en lystelig Vingaard:
3 I Jehovah am its keeper, I will water it every moment. Lest any hurt it, I will guard it night and day.
Jeg, Herren, er dens Vogter, hvert Øjeblik vander jeg den; for at ingen skal hjemsøge den, vil jeg Dag og Nat vogte den.
4 Wrath is not in me. Would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them. I would burn them together.
Jeg har ikke Vrede; men lad Torne og Tidsler komme imod mig med Krig, da vil jeg falde ind paa dem og opbrænde dem til Hobe,
5 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Yea, let him make peace with me.
hvis man ikke vil tage sin Tilflugt til mig, slutte Fred med mig, slutte Fred med mig.
6 In days to come Jacob shall take root; Israel shall blossom and bud. And they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
I de kommende Dage skal Jakob slaa Rødder, Israel skal blomstre og faa Knopper; og de skulle fylde Jorderige med Frugt.
7 Has he smitten them as he smote those who smote them? Or are they slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by them?
Mon han har slaget det, som han har slaget dets Drabsmænd? eller mon det være ihjelslaget, som de ere ihjelslagne, der ihjelslog det?
8 In measure, in sending it forth, thou contend with it. He has removed with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
Med Maade, med Udstødelse trættede du imod det; han bortrev det ved sit haarde Vejr, den Dag det var Østenstorm.
9 Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob shall be forgiven. And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten apart, so that the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
Derfor bliver herved Jakobs Ondskab udsonet, og Frugten af, at han borttager dets Synd, er alt dette: At han gør alle Alterets Stene som adspredte Kalkstene; Astartebilleder og Solbilleder skulle ikke rejse sig mere.
10 For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken like the wilderness. There the calf shall feed, and there he shall lie down, and consume the branches of it.
Thi den faste Stad ligger øde, en Bolig forkastet og forladt som Ørken; der skulle Kalve gaa i Græs, og der skulle de ligge og fortære dens Kviste.
11 When the boughs of it are withered, they shall be broken off. The women shall come, and set them on fire, for it is a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion upon them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.
Naar dens Grene tørres, da skulle de sønderbrydes, Kvinder skulle komme og gøre Ild dermed; thi det er ikke et forstandigt Folk, derfor skal han, som skabte det, ikke forbarme sig over det, og han, som dannede det, skal ikke være det naadig.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will beat off his fruit, from the flood of the River to the brook of Egypt. And ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye sons of Israel.
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at Herren skal afryste Frugter fra Flodens Strøm indtil Ægyptens Bæk; og I skulle opsankes, en for en, I Israels Børn!
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown. And they shall come who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
Og det skal ske, paa den Dag skal man blæse i en stor Basun, saa skulle de fortabte i Assyriens Land og de bortdrevne i Ægyptens Land komme og tilbede Herren paa det hellige Bjerg i Jerusalem.
