Esias 3
1 Behold now, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will take away from Jerusalem and from Judea the mighty man and mighty woman, the strength of bread, and the strength of water,
For sjå Herren, Allhers-Herren, skal taka burt frå Jerusalem og Juda kvar studnad og stav, kvar studnad av mat, og kvar studnad av vatn,
2 the great and mighty man, the warrior and the judge, and the prophet, and the counsellor, and the elder,
kjempa og stridsmann, domar og profet, spåmann og styresmann,
3 the captain of fifty also, and the honourable counsellor, and the wise artificer, and the intelligent hearer.
femtimanns-førar og vyrdingsmann, rådsherre og handverksmeister og trollkunnig mann.
4 And I will make youths their princes, and mockers shall have dominion over them.
Og eg skal gjeva deim unggutar til styrarar, og gutehått skal råda yver deim.
5 And the people shall fall, man upon man, and [every] man upon his neighbour: the child shall insult the elder man, and the base the honourable.
Og folket - den eine skal plåga den andre, kvar ein sin granne. Guten skal setja seg upp imot den gamle, fanten imot fagnamannen.
6 For a man shall lay hold of his brother, as one of his father's household, saying, You have raiment, be you our ruler, and let my meat be under you.
Når det då hender, at ein fær tak i ein annan i huset åt far hans, og segjer: «Du eig då ein klædnad, ver du styraren vår! Tak då rådvelde yver dette fallande riket!»
7 And he shall answer in that day, and say, I will not be your ruler; for I have no bread in my house, nor raiment: I will not be the ruler of this people.
då skal han svara og segja: «Eg er ingen sårlækjar, i mitt hus er korkje brød eller klæde; gjer ikkje meg til styrar yver folket!»
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judea has fallen, and their tongues [have spoken] with iniquity, disobedient [as they are] towards the Lord.
For Jerusalem snåvar og Juda fell, av di dei i ord og gjerd stend Herren imot, og er tråssuge framfor hans herlegdoms åsyn.
9 Therefore now their glory has been brought low, and the shame of their countenance has withstood them, and they have proclaimed their sin as Sodom, and made it manifest.
Sjølve andlitssvipen deira vitnar imot deim, og liksom i Sodoma talar dei utan dulsmål um syndi si. Ve deira sjæl! For dei valdar seg sjølv ulukka.
10 Woe to their soul, for they have devised an evil counsel against themselves, saying against themselves, Let us bind the just, for he is burdensome to us: therefore shall they eat the fruits of their works.
Seg um den rettferdige at det skal ganga honom godt; frukti av si gjerning skal han njota.
11 Woe to the transgressor! evils shall happen to him according to the works of his hands.
Men usæl den ugudlege! honom skal det ganga ille; hans eigne gjerningar hemnar seg på honom sjølv.
12 O my people, your exactors strip you, and extortioners rule over you: O my people, they that pronounce you blesses lead you astray, and pervert the path of your feet.
Styraren yver mitt folk er eit barn, og kvinnor råder yver det. Mitt folk, førarane dine fører deg vilt, og gjer vegen du skal fara til villstig.
13 But now the Lord will stand up for judgement, and will enter into judgement with his people.
Herren hev stige fram, han vil føra sak, han stend og vil døma folki.
14 The Lord himself shall enter into judgement with the elders of the people, and with their rulers: but why have you set my vineyard on fire, and [why is] the spoil of the poor in your houses?
Herren held rettargang med sitt folks styresmenner og hovdingar: «De hev plundra vinhagen! Ran frå fatigmannen er i husi dykkar!
15 Why do you wrong my people, and shame the face of the poor?
Korleis kann de soleis skamfara mitt folk og trakka dei fatige under fot?» segjer Herren, Allhers-Herren.
16 Thus says the Lord, Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with an outstretched neck, and with winking of the eyes, and motion of the feet, at the same time drawing their garments in trains, and at the same time sporting with their feet:
Og Herren segjer: «Av di Sions døtter briskar seg og gjeng med bratt nakke og spelar med augo, og gjeng og trippar og ringlar med fotringarne sine,
17 therefore the Lord will humble the chief daughters of Sion, and the Lord will expose their form in that day;
so skal Herren gjera kruna skurvut på Sions døtter, og Herren skal nækja deira blygsla.
18 and the Lord will take away the glory of their raiment, the curls and the fringes, and the crescents,
På den dagen tek Herren frå deim all stasen deira: Fotringar, panneband, halssylgjor,
19 and the chains, and the ornaments of their faces,
øyredobbor, armband, slør,
20 and the array of glorious ornaments, and the armlets, and the bracelets, and the wreathed work, and the finger-rings, and the ornaments for the right hand,
hovudpryda, fotkjedor, belte, lukteflaskor, amulettar,
21 and the ear-rings, and the garments with scarlet borders, and the garments with purple grounds, and the shawls to be worn in the house, and the Spartan transparent dresses, and those made of fine linen, and the purple [ones], and the scarlet [ones], and the fine linen, interwoven with gold and purple, and the light coverings for couches.
fingergull, naseringar,
22 And there shall be instead of a sweet smell, dust; and instead of a girdle, you shall gird yourself with a rope; and instead of a golden ornament for the head, you shall have baldness on account of your works; and instead of a tunic with a scarlet ground, you shall gird yourself with sackcloth.
høgtidsbunader, kåpor, kasteplagg, pungar,
23 And your most beautiful son whom you love shall fall by the sword; and your mighty men shall fall by the sword, and shall be brought low.
speglar, serkjer, huvor, flor.
24 And the stores of your ornaments shall mourn, and you shall be left alone, and shall be levelled with the ground.
Og det skal verta illtev i staden for godange, reip i staden for belte, fleinskalle i staden for flettor, sekkjety i staden for høgtidstidsbunad og svidmerke i staden for vænleik.
Mennerne dine skal falla for sverd og kjemporne dine i krig.
Og portarne hennar skal gråta og låta, og einsleg sit ho att i gruset.»
