Isaiah 8
1 And the Lord said to me: “Take up for yourself a large book, and with a man’s pen write in it: ‘Take away the spoils quickly; plunder swiftly.’”
Og HERREN sagde til mig: "Tag dig en stor Tavle og skriv derpå med Menneskeskrift: Hurtigt-Bytte, Hastigt-Rov!,
2 And I summoned to myself faithful witnesses: Uriah, the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Berechiah.
Og tag mig pålidelige Vidner, Præsten Urija og Zekarja, Jeberekjahus Søn!"
3 And I joined with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. And the Lord said to me: “Call his name: ‘Rush to take away the spoils; Hurry to be plundered.’
Og jeg nærmede mig Profetinden, og hun blev frugtsommelig og fødte en Søn. Så sagde HERREN til mig: "Kald ham Hurtigt-Bytte, Hastigt-Rov!
4 For before the boy knows how to call to his father and his mother, the strength of Damascus and the spoils of Samaria will be taken away, in the sight of the king of the Assyrians.”
Thi før Drengen kan sige Fader og Moder, skal Rigdommene fra Damaskus og Byttet fra Samaria bringes til Assyrerkongen!"
5 And the Lord spoke to me further, saying:
Fremdeles sagde HERREN til mig:
6 “Because this people has cast aside the waters of Shiloah, which go forth silently, and has instead chosen Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
Eftersom dette Folk lader hånt om Siloas sagte rindende Vande i Angst for Bezin og Remaljas Søn,
7 for this reason, behold, the Lord will lead over them the waters of a river, strong and plentiful: the king of the Assyrians with all his glory. And he will rise up throughout all his streams, and he will overflow all his banks.
se, så lader Herren Flodens Vande, de vældige, store, oversvømme dem, Assyrerkongen og al hans Herlighed; over alle sine Bredder skal den gå, trænge ud over alle sine Diger,
8 And he will pass through Judah, inundating it, and he will cross over and arrive, even at its neck. And he will extend his wings, filling the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.”
styrte ind i Juda, skylle over, vælte frem og nå til Halsen; og dens udbredte Vinger skal fylde dit Land, så vidt det når Immanuel!
9 O people, gather together, and be conquered! All distant lands, listen! Be strengthened, and be conquered! Gird yourselves, and be conquered!
I Folkeslag, mærk jer det med Rædsel, lyt til, alle fjerne Lande: Rust jer, I skal ræddes, rust jer, I skal ræddes.
10 Undertake a plan, and it will be dissipated! Speak a word, and it will not be done! For God is with us.
Læg Råd op, det skal dog briste, gør Aftale, det slår dog fejl, thi - Immanuel!
11 For the Lord said this to me, and he has instructed this to me with a strong hand, lest I go forth in the way of this people, saying:
Thi så sagde HERREN til mig, da hans Hånd greb mig med Vælde, og han advarede mig mod at vandre på dette Folks Vej:
12 “You should not say ‘It is conspiracy!’ For all that this people speaks is a conspiracy. And you should not be frightened or alarmed with their fear.
Kald ikke alt Sammensværgelse, hvad dette Folk kalder Sammensværgelse, frygt ikke, hvad det frygter, og ræddes ikke!
13 Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself. Let him be your dread, and let him be your fear.
Hærskarers HERRE, ham skal I holde hellig, han skal være eders Frygt, han skal være eders Rædsel.
14 And so shall he be a sanctification to you. But he will be a stone of offense and a rock of scandal to the two houses of Israel, and a snare and a ruin to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Han bliver en Helligdom, en Anstødssten og en Klippe til Fald for begge Israels Huse og en Snare og et Fangegarn for Jerusalems Indbyggere,
15 And very many of them will stumble and fall, and they will be broken and entangled and seized.
og mange iblandt dem skal snuble, falde og kvæstes, fanges og bindes.
16 Bind the testimony, seal the law, among my disciples.”
Bind Vidnesbyrdet til og sæt Segl for Læren i mine disciples Sind!
17 And I will wait for the Lord, who has concealed his face from the house of Jacob, and I will stand before him.
Jeg bier på HERREN, han, som dølger sit Åsyn for Jakobs Hus, til ham står mit Håb:
18 Behold: I and my children, whom the Lord has given to me as a sign and a portent, in Israel, from the Lord of hosts, who lives on Mount Zion.
Se, jeg og de Børn, HERREN gav mig, er Varsler og Tegn i Israel fra Hærskarers HERRE, som bor på Zions Bjerg.
19 And though they say to you, “Seek from seers and diviners,” they who hiss in their incantations, should not the people seek from their God, for the sake of the living, and not from the dead?
Og siger de til eder: "Søg Genfærdene og Ånderne, som hvisker og mumler!" skal et Folk ikke søge sin Gud, skal man søge de døde for de levende?
20 And this is, moreover, for the sake of the law and the testimony. But if they do not speak according to this Word, then he will not have the morning light.
Nej! Til Læren og Vidnesbyrdet! Således skal visselig de komme til at tale, som nu er uden Morgenrøde.
21 And he will pass by it; he will fall and become hungry. And when he is hungry, he will become angry, and he will speak evil against his king and his God, and he will lift himself upward.
Han skal vanke om i Landet, trykket og hungrig. Og når han hungrer, skal han blive rasende og bande sin Konge og sin Gud. Vender han sig til det høje,
22 And he will gaze downward to the earth, and behold: tribulation and darkness, dissolution and distress, and a pursuing gloom. For he will not be able to fly away from its distress.
eller skuer han ud over Jorden, se da er der Trængsel og Mørke, knugende Mulm; i Bælgmørke er han stødt ud.
