Isaiah 11
1 And there will come a rod out of the broken tree of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will give fruit.
Og der skal opgaa et Skud af Isajs Stub, og en Kvist af hans Rødder skal bære Frugt.
2 And the spirit of the Lord will be resting on him, the spirit of wisdom and good sense, the spirit of wise guiding and strength, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
Og Herrens Aand skal hvile over ham, Visdoms og Forstands Aand, Raads og Styrkes Aand, Herrens Kundskabs og Frygts Aand.
3 And he will not be guided in his judging by what he sees, or give decisions by the hearing of his ears:
Og hans Lyst skal være i Herrens Frygt, og han skal ikke dømme efter det, hans Øjne se, ej heller holde Ret efter det, hans Øren høre.
4 But he will do right in the cause of the poor, and give wise decisions for those in the land who are in need; and the rod of his mouth will come down on the cruel, and with the breath of his lips he will put an end to the evil-doer.
Men han skal dømme de ringe med Retfærdighed og holde Ret for de lidende i Landet med Oprigtighed; og han skal slaa Jorden med sin Munds Ris og dræbe den ugudelige med sine Læbers Aande.
5 And righteousness will be the cord of his robe, and good faith the band round his breast.
Og Retfærdighed skal være hans Lænders Bælte og Trofasthed hans Hofters Bælte.
6 And the wolf will be living with the lamb, and the leopard will take his rest with the young goat; and the lion will take grass for food like the ox; and the young lion will go with the young ones of the herd; and a little child will be their guide.
Og Ulven skal gaa hos Lammet og Parderen ligge hos Kiddet; Kalven og Løven og Fedekvæget skulle være sammen, og en liden Dreng skal drive dem.
7 And the cow and the bear will be friends while their young ones are sleeping together.
Og Koen og Bjørnen skulle græsse sammen, deres Unger skulle ligge hos hinanden; og Løven skal æde Straa som Oksen.
8 And the child at the breast will be playing by the hole of the snake, and the older child will put his hand on the bright eye of the poison-snake.
Og det diende Barn skal lege ved Øglens Hul og det afvante Barn stikke sin Haand til Basiliskens Hule.
9 There will be no cause of pain or destruction in all my holy mountain: for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the sea is covered by the waters.
De skulle ej gøre noget ondt og ej noget fordærveligt paa hele mit hellige Bjerg; thi Jorden er fuld af Herrens Kundskab, ligesom Vandet skjuler Havets Bund.
10 And in that day, the eyes of the nations will be turned to the root of Jesse which will be lifted up as the flag of the peoples; and his resting-place will be glory.
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at Hedningerne skulle spørge efter Isajs Rod, der staar som et Banner for Folkene; og hans Hvilested skal være Herlighed.
11 And in that day the hand of the Lord will be stretched out the second time to get back the rest of his people, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the sea-lands.
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at Herren atter, anden Gang, skal udstrække sin Haand til at forhverve sig det overblevne af sit Folk, som skal blive tilovers fra Assyrien og fra Ægypten og fra Pathros og fra Morland og fra Elam og fra Sinear og fra Hamath og fra Øerne i Havet.
12 And he will put up a flag as a sign to the nations, and he will get together those of Israel who had been sent away, and the wandering ones of Judah, from the four ends of the earth.
Og han skal opløfte et Banner for Hedningerne og sanke Israels fordrevne og samle Judas adspredte fra Jordens fire Hjørner.
13 And the envy of Ephraim will be gone, and those who make trouble for Judah will come to an end: Ephraim will have no more envy of Judah, and there will be an end of Judah's hate for Ephraim.
Og Efraims Misundelse skal vige, og Judas Fjender skulle udryddes; Efraim skal ikke være misundelig paa Juda, og Juda skal ikke trænge Efraim.
14 And they will be united in attacking the Philistines on the west, and together they will take the goods of the children of the east: their hand will be on Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon will be under their rule.
Men de skulle flyve ind paa Filisternes Skuldre imod Vesten, de skulle i Forening røve fra dem, som bo imod Østen; Edom og Moab skulle blive et Bytte for deres Haand, og Ammons Børn skulle bevise dem Lydighed.
15 And the Lord will make the tongue of the Egyptian sea completely dry; and with his burning wind his hand will be stretched out over the River, and it will be parted into seven streams, so that men may go over it with dry feet.
Og Herren skal sætte Vigen af Ægyptens Hav i Band og bevæge sin Haand over Floden med sit stærke Vejr; og han skal slaa den i syv Bække og lade den betrædes med Sko.
16 And there will be a highway for the rest of his people from Assyria; as there was for Israel in the day when he came up out of the land of Egypt.
Og der skal være en banet Vej for de overblevne af hans Folk, som skulle blive tilovers fra Assyrien, ligesom der var for Israel, den Dag det drog op af Ægyptens Land.
