Esias 22
1 THE WORD OF THE VALLEY OF SION. What has happened to you, that now you are all gone up to the housetops which help you not?
Profeti imod Synernes Dal. Hvad fattes dig dog, at du med alle dine saaledes stiger op paa Tagene?
2 The city is filled with shouting [men]: your slain are not slain with swords, nor are your dead those who have died 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 your princes have fled, and [your] captives are tightly bound, and the mighty [men] in you have fled far away.
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, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me for the breach 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 destruction, and of treading down, and [there is] perplexity [sent] from the Lord of hosts: they wander in the valley of Sion; they wander from the least to the greatest on 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 the Elamites took [their] quivers, and [there were] men mounted on horses, and [there was] a gathering for battle.
Og Elam bar Kogger, fulgt af Vogne med Mænd paa og af Ryttere, og Kir blottede Skjoldet.
7 And it shall be [that] your choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up your gates.
Og det skete, at dine udvalgte Dale bleve fulde af Vogne, og Ryttere toge Stilling imod Porten.
8 And they shall uncover the gates of Juda, and they shall look in that day on the choice houses of the city.
Og han borttog Dækket fra Juda; og du saa dig om paa den Dag efter Rustningen i Skovhuset.
9 And they shall uncover the secret places of the houses of the citadel of David: and they saw that they were many, and that one [had] turned the water of the old pool into the city;
Og I saa Revnerne paa Davids Stad, at de vare mange, og I samlede den nederste Dams Vand.
10 and that they [had] pulled down the houses of Jerusalem, to fortify the wall of the city.
Og I talte Jerusalems-Huse og nedbrøde Huse for at befæste Muren.
11 And you procured to yourselves water between the two walls within the ancient pool: but you looked not to him that made it from the beginning, and regarded not him that created it.
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 the Lord, the Lord of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and lamentation, and 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 but they engaged in joy and gladness, slaying calves, and killing sheep, so as to eat flesh, and drink wine; saying, Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we 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 these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until you die.
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 of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Somnas the treasurer, and say to him, Why are you here?
Saa sagde Herren, den Herre Zebaoth: Gak, kom ind til denne Rentemester, til Sebna, som er Hofmester, og sig til ham:
16 and what have you to do here, that you have here hewn yourself a sepulchre, and made yourself a sepulchre on high, and have graven for yourself a dwelling 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 now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy [such] a man, and will take away your robe and your glorious crown,
Se, Herren skal bortkaste dig med et Kast, du Mand! og skjule dig aldeles.
18 and will cast you into a great and unmeasured land, and there you shall die: and he will bring your fair chariot to shame, and the house of your prince to be trodden down.
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 you shall be removed from your stewardship, and from your place.
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 Chelcias:
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, da vil jeg kalde ad min Tjener Eliakim, Hilkias Søn.
21 and I will put on him your robe, and I will grant him your crown with power, and I will give your stewardship into his hands: and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to them that dwell in Juda.
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 give him the glory of David; and he shall rule, and there shall be none to speak against him: and I will give him the key of the house of David [upon] his shoulder; and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut; and he shall shut, and there shall be none to 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 make him a ruler in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne of 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 every one that is glorious in the house of his father shall trust in him, from the least to the greatest; and they shall depend upon him in that day.
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 Thus says the Lord of hosts, The man that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be taken away, and shall fall; and the glory that is upon him shall be utterly destroyed: for the Lord 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.
