Isaiah 27
1 In that day the Lord, with his great and strong and cruel sword, will send punishment on Leviathan, the quick-moving snake, and on Leviathan, the twisted snake; and he will put to death the dragon which is in the sea.
Paa hin Dag hjemsøger HERREN med sit haarde, vældige, stærke Sværd Livjatan, Den flugtsnare Slange, Livjatan, den bugtede Slange, og ihjelslaar Dragen i Havet.
2 In that day it will be said, A vine-garden of delight, make a song about it.
Paa hin Dag skal man sige: Syng om en liflig Vingaard!
3 I, the Lord, am watching it; I will give it water at all times: I will keep it night and day, for fear that any damage comes to it.
Jeg, HERREN, jeg er dens Vogter, jeg vander den atter og atter. For at ingen skal hjemsøge den, vogter jeg den Nat og Dag.
4 My passion is over: if the thorns were fighting against me, I would make an attack on them, and they would be burned up together.
Vrede nærer jeg ikke. Fandt jeg kun Torn og Tidsel, gik jeg løs derpaa i Kamp og satte det alt i Brand —
5 Or let him put himself under my power, and make peace with me.
med mindre man tyr til mit Værn, slutter Fred med mig, slutter Fred med mig.
6 In days to come Jacob will take root: Israel will put out buds and flowers; and the face of the world will be full of fruit.
Paa hin Dag skal Jakob slaa Rod, Israel skyde og blomstre og fylde Verden med Frugt.
7 Is his punishment like the punishment of those who overcame him? or are his dead as great in number as those he put to the sword?
Har han vel slaaet det, som de, der slog det, blev slagne, eller blev det myrdet, som deres Mordere myrdedes?
8 Your anger against her has been made clear by driving her away; he has taken her away with his storm-wind in the day of his east wind.
Ved at støde det bort og sende det bort trættede han med det; han jog det bort med sin voldsomme Aande paa Østenstormens Dag.
9 So by this will the sin of Jacob be covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his punishment; when all the stones of the altar are crushed together, so that the wood pillars and the sun-images will not be put up again.
Derfor sones Jakobs Brøde saaledes, og dette er al Frugten af, at hans Synd tages bort: at han gør alle Altersten til sønderhuggede Kalksten, at Asjerastøtterne og Solstøtterne ikke mere rejser sig.
10 For the strong town is without men, an unpeopled living-place; and she has become a waste land: there the young ox will take his rest, and its branches will be food for him.
Thi den faste Stad ligger ensom, et folketomt Sted, forladt som en Ørken. Der græsser Ungkvæget, der lejrer det sig og afgnaver Kvistene.
11 When its branches are dry they will be broken off; the women will come and put fire to them: for it is a foolish people; for this cause he who made them will have no mercy on them, and he whose work they are will not have pity on them.
Naar Grenene er tørre, kommer Kvinderne og bryder dem af for at tænde Baal. Thi det er et Folk uden Indsigt; derfor kan dets Skaber ikke forbarme sig, dets Ophav ikke være det naadig.
12 And it will be in that day that the Lord will get together his grain, from the River to the stream of Egypt, and you will be got together with care, O children of Israel.
Paa hin Dag slaar HERREN Frugten ned fra Flodens Strøm til Ægyptens Bæk, og I skal opsankes een for een, Israels Børn.
13 And it will be in that day that a great horn will be sounded; and those who were wandering in the land of Assyria, and those who had been sent away into the land of Egypt, will come; and they will give worship to the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
Paa hin Dag skal der stødes i det store Horn, og de tabte i Assyrien og de bortdrevne i Ægypten skal komme og tilbede HERREN paa det hellige Bjerg i Jerusalem.
