Isaiah 27
1 In that day, the Lord will visit, with his harsh and great and strong sword, against Leviathan, the barred serpent, and against Leviathan, the twisted serpent, and he will slay the whale that is in the sea.
På den dagen skal Herren med sverdet sitt, det harde og store og sterke, heimsøkja Livjatan, den flogsnare ormen, og Livjatan, den krøkjande ormen, og han skal drepa sjøormen.
2 In that day, the vineyard of pure wine will sing to them.
På den dagen skal de finnast ein yndeleg vingard, syng um honom:
3 I am the Lord, who watches over it. I will suddenly give drink to it. I will watch over it, night and day, lest perhaps someone visit against it.
«Eg, Herren, er vaktaren hans. Kvar augneblink vatnar eg honom, at ikkje nokon skal heimsøkja honom, vaktar eg honom dag og natt.
4 Indignation is not mine. Who will be a thorn and a brier to me in battle? I will advance against them. I set them on fire together.
Vreide hev eg ikkje; men vilde tornar og tistlar reisa seg til krig, skulde eg gå laus på deim, brenna deim heilt upp -
5 Or will he, instead, take hold of my strength? Will he make peace with me? Will she make peace with me?
utan so dei vilde fly til mi vern, gjera fred med meg, ja gjera fred med meg.»
6 As they advance with violence against Jacob, Israel will flourish and spring forth, and they will fill the face of the world with offspring.
I komande dagar skal Jakob røta seg, Israel bløma og få renningar og fylla jordheimen med si frukt.
7 Has he struck him with the scourge that he himself used to strike others? Or has he killed in the manner that he himself used to kill his victims?
Hev han slege honom liksom han slo plågaren hans? Eller vart han myrd liksom mordarane hans vart det?
8 You will judge this by comparing one measure to another, when he has been cast out. He has decided this, by his stern spirit, for the day of heat.
Med måte refste du henne, med du sende henne burt. Han dreiv henne burt med sitt harde ver, den dagen austanvinden bles.
9 Therefore, concerning this, the iniquity of the house of Jacob will be forgiven. And this is the reward of all: that their sin be taken away, when he will have made all the stones of the altar to be like crushed cinders. For the sacred groves and the shrines shall not stand.
Difor vert og misgjerdi åt Jakob utsona, og det at syndi vert burtteki, fær gjeva fullmogi frukt, når alle altarsteinarne vert krasa som kalksteinar, og Astarte-bilæti og solstolparne ikkje reiser seg meir.
10 For the fortified city will be desolate. The shining city will be abandoned and will be left behind like a desert. In that place, the calf will pasture, and in that place, he will lie down, and he will feed from its summits.
For den faste byen ligg i øyde, ein folketom bustad, aud som øydemarki. Kalvar beiter der og hev der si lega og et av kvisterne.
11 Its harvest will be crushed by dryness. Women will arrive and teach it, for it is not a wise people. Because of this, he who made it will not take pity on it, and he who formed it will not spare it.
Når greinerne hev vorte turre, bryt dei deim av, kvinnfolki nører upp eld med deim. For dette er ikkje noko vitugt folk. Difor miskunnar deira skapar deim ikkje, og han som laga deim, er deim ikkje nådig.
12 And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will strike, from the channel of the river, even to the torrent of Egypt. And you shall be gathered together, one by one, O sons of Israel.
Og det skal henda på den dagen, at Herren skal halda ei frukthausting alt frå Storelvi til Egyptarlands-bekken, og de, Israels born, skal verte sanka, ein for ein.
13 And this shall be: in that day, a noise will be made with a great trumpet. And those who had been lost will approach from the land of the Assyrians, with those who had been outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they will adore the Lord, on the holy mountain, in Jerusalem.
Og det skal henda på den dagen at dei skal blåsa i ein stor lur, og då skal dei koma dei burtkomne i Assurs land og dei burtdrivne i Egyptarlandet, og dei skal tilbeda Herren på det heilage fjellet i Jerusalem.
