Esias 33
1 Woe to them that afflict you; but no one makes you miserable: and he that deals perfidiously with you does not deal perfidiously: they that deal perfidiously shall be taken and given up, and as a moth on a garment, so shall they be spoiled.
Ve dig, du Ødelægger! du, som dog ikke er bleven ødelagt, og du Røver! du, som dog ikke er bleven et Rov; naar du har fuldendt at ødelægge, skal du ødelægges, naar du er bleven færdig med at røve, skal du selv blive et Rov.
2 Lord, have mercy upon us; for we have trusted in you: the seed of the rebellious is gone to destruction, but our deliverance was in a time of affliction.
Herre! vær os naadig, vi have biet efter dig; vær aarle vor Arm, tilmed vor Frelse i Nødens Tid.
3 By reason of the terrible sound the nations were dismayed for fear of you, and the heathen were scattered.
Folkene flyede for Tordenrøsten; Hedningerne adspredes, naar du rejser dig.
4 And now shall the spoils of your small and great be gathered: as if one should gather locusts, so shall they mock you.
Og eders Bytte skal sankes, som man sanker Høskrækker; som Græshopper springe hid og did, skal man springe hid og did efter det.
5 The God who dwells on high is holy: Sion is filled with judgement and righteousness.
Herren er ophøjet, thi han bor i det høje; han har opfyldt Zion med Dom og Retfærdighed.
6 They shall be delivered up to the law: our salvation is our treasure: there are wisdom and knowledge and piety towards the Lord; these are the treasures of righteousness.
Og Visdom og Kundskab skal give dine Tider Fasthed, en Rigdom af Frelse; Herrens Frygt skal være dit Liggendefæ.
7 Behold now, these shall be terrified with fear of you: those whom you feared shall cry out because of you: messengers shall be sent, bitterly weeping, entreating for peace.
Se, deres Helte skrige derude; Fredens Bud græde beskelig.
8 For the ways of these shall be made desolate: the terror of the nations has been made to cease, and the covenant with these is taken away, and you shall by no means deem them men.
De banede Veje ere øde, der er ingen, som gaar frem ad Stien mere; han har brudt Pagten, ladet haant om Stæderne, ikke agtet et Menneske.
9 The land mourns; Libanus is ashamed: Saron is become marshes; Galilee shall be laid bare, and Chermel.
Landet sørger, vansmægter, Libanon er beskæmmet, er henvisnet; Saron er som en øde Mark, og Basan og Karmel have kastet deres Blade.
10 Now will I arise, says the Lord, now will I be glorified; now will I be exalted.
Nu vil jeg gøre mig rede, siger Herren; nu vil jeg rejse mig, nu vil jeg ophøje mig.
11 Now shall you see, now shall you perceive; the strength of your breath, shall be vain; fire shall devour you.
I undfange Straa, føde Halm; eders Harme er en Ild, som skal fortære eder.
12 And the nations shall be burnt up; as a thorn in the field cast out and burnt up.
Og Folkene skulde vorde som det, der brændes til Kalk, som omhugne Torne, der opbrændes med Ild.
13 They that are afar off shall hear what I have done; they that draw near shall know my strength.
Hører, I, som ere langt borte, hvad jeg har gjort, og I, som ere nær, fornemmer min Styrke!
14 The sinners in Sion have departed; trembling shall seize the ungodly. Who will tell you that a fire is kindled? Who will tell you of the eternal place?
Syndere i Zion ere forskrækkede, Bævelse har betaget de vanhellige: „Hvo af os kan bo ved en fortærende Ild? hvo af os kan bo ved Evigheds Baal?‟
15 He that walks in righteousness, speaking rightly, hating transgression and iniquity, and shaking his hands from gifts, stopping his ears that he should not hear the judgement of blood, shutting his eyes that he should not see injustice.
Den, som vandrer i Retfærdighed, og som taler Oprigtighed; den, som foragter Vinding, der kommer ved Undertrykkelse; den, som ryster sine Hænder, at han ej beholder Skænk; den, som stopper sit Øre til, saa at han ej hører Blodraad, og som tillukker sine Øjne, at han ej ser efter det onde:
16 he shall dwell in a high cave of a strong rock: bread shall be given him, and his water shall be sure.
Han skal bo paa de høje Steder, Klippernes Befæstning skal være hans Tilflugt, Brød bliver givet ham, Vand er ham sikret.
17 You shall see a king with glory: your eyes shall behold a land from afar.
Dine Øjne skulle beskue Kongen i hans Skønhed, de skulle se et vidt udstrakt Land.
18 Your soul shall meditate terror. Where are the scribes? where are the counsellors, where is he that numbers them that are growing up,
Dit Hjerte skal tænke paa Forfærdelsen: „Hvor er Skriveren? hvor er den, som vejede Pengene? hvor er den, som talte Taarnene?‟
19 [even] the small and great people? with whom he took not counsel, neither did he understand [a people] of deep speech, so that a despised people should not hear, and there is no understanding to him that hears.
Du skal ikke mere se det haarde Folk, det Folk, som man ikke kan forstaa for dets dybe Mæles Skyld, det, som man ikke kan fatte for dets stammende Tunges Skyld.
20 Behold the city of Sion, our refuge: your eyes shall behold Jerusalem, a rich city, tabernacles which shall not be shaken, neither shall the pins of her tabernacle be moved for ever, neither shall her cords be at all broken:
Besku Zion, vor Forsamlings Stad; dine Øjne skulle se Jerusalem som en sikker Bolig, som et Telt, der ikke skal flyttes, hvis Pæle ikke skulle oprykkes evindelig, og hvis Reb ikke skulle rives over.
21 for the name of the Lord is great to you: you shall have a place, [even] rivers and wide and spacious channels: you shall not go this way, neither a vessel with oars go [thereby].
Men der skal Herren være os den herlige, være i Stedet for Floder og brede Strømme; intet Skib, som roes, farer der, og intet stort Skib gaar derover.
22 For my God is great: the Lord our judge shall not pass me by: the Lord is our prince, the Lord is our king; the Lord, he shall save us.
Thi Herren er vor Dommer, Herren er vor Lovgiver, Herren er vor Konge, han skal frelse os.
23 Your cords are broken, for they had no strength: your meat has given way, it shall not spread the sails, it shall not bear a signal, until it be given up for plunder; therefore shall many lame men take spoil.
Dine Reb ere blevne slappe; de holde ikke deres Mast stiv, de have ikke udbredet Flag; da deles røvet Bytte i Mængde, de halte røve Rov.
24 And the people dwelling amongst them shall by no means say, I am in pain: for their sin shall be forgiven them.
Og ingen Indbygger skal sige: Jeg er syg; thi Folket, som bor derudi, har faaet Syndsforladelse.
