Isaiah 22
1 This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,
Et Udsagn: »Synernes Dal«. Hvad tænker du paa, siden alle stiger op paa Tagene,
2 O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.
du larmende, støjende By, du jublende Stad? Dine slagne er vel ikke sværdslagne, døde i Krig!
3 All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.
Alle dine Høvdinger flygted, flyed langt bort, alle dine Helte, væbnet med Buer, blev fanget.
4 Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
Derfor siger jeg: Gaa fra mig, lad mig græde bittert, træng ej paa for at trøste mig over, at mit Folk er lagt øde!
5 For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision— of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.
Thi en Dag, da man ræddes, trædes og trænges, har Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, til Rede! I Synernes Dal brødes Mure ned, mod Bjerget hørtes Skrig;
6 Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.
Elam løftede Koggeret, Aram satte sig til Hest, Kir tog Skjoldene ud;
7 Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.
og de bedste iblandt dine Dale fyldtes med Vogne og Heste, lige til Porten stod de.
8 He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.
Han borttog Judas Værn. Paa den Dag saa I hen til Skovhusets Rustkammer,
9 You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.
og I saa, hvor mange Revner der var i Davidsbyen. I samlede Nedredammens Vand,
10 You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.
gik Jerusalems Huse igennem og rev Husene ned for at gøre Muren stærk.
11 You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.
I gravede mellem de to Mure en Fordybning til den gamle Dams Vand. Men til ham, der virked det, skued I ikke, saa ej hen til ham, som beredte det for længst.
12 On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.
Paa hin Dag kaldte Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, til Graad og Sorg, til Hovedragning og Sæk.
13 But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
Men se, der er Fryd og Glæde, man slaar Okser ned, slagter Faar, æder Kød og faar Vin at drikke: »Lad os æde og drikke, thi i Morgen dør vi!«
14 The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,”
Men Hærskarers HERRE aabenbared for mit Øre: »Den Synd, « siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, »faar I ikke sonet, førend I dør!«
15 This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:
Saa siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE: Gaa hen og sig til denne Foged, Slotshøvedsmanden Sjebna:
16 What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?
Hvad har du her, og hvem har du her, at du her udhugger din Grav, udhugger dig en Grav højt oppe, huler dig en Bolig i Klippen!
17 Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,
Se, HERREN slynger dig bort og bøjer dig sammen, du stolte,
18 roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.
han knytter dig sammen til et Knytte og kaster dig ud i et vidtstrakt Land! Der skal du dø, der din Æresvogn komme, du Skændsel for din Herres Hus!
19 I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.
Jeg støder dig bort fra din Stilling og styrter dig fra din Post.
20 On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
Men paa hin Dag kalder jeg min Tjener Eljakim, Hilkijas Søn,
21 I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
og iklæder ham din Kjortel, omgjorder ham med dit Bælte og lægger din Myndighed i hans Haand. Han skal blive en Fader for Jerusalems Indbyggere og Judas Hus.
22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
Jeg lægger Nøglen til Davids Hus paa hans Skulder; naar han lukker op, skal ingen lukke i, og naar han lukker i, skal ingen lukke op,
23 I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.
Jeg fæster ham som en Nagle paa et sikkert Sted, og han skal blive til Hæder for sit Fædrenehus.
24 So they will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.
Men hænger hans Fædrenehus's hele Vægt sig paa ham, Skud og Vildskud, alle Smaakar, fra Fadene til alle Krukkerne,
25 In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
saa skal det ske paa den Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, at Naglen, der var fæstet paa et sikkert Sted, giver efter, rives ud og falder ned, og hele Vægten, som hænger derpaa, skal slaas sønder. Thi HERREN har talet!
