Isaiah 11

1 And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall be fruitful;

Men der skyder en Kvist af Isajs Stub, et Skud gror frem af hans Rod;

2 and the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.

og HERRENs Ånd skal hvile over ham, Visdoms og Forstands Ånd, Råds og Styrkes Ånd, HERRENs Kundskabs og Frygts Ånd.

3 And his delight will be in the fear of Jehovah; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears;

Hans Hu står til HERRENs Frygt; han dømmer ej efter, hvad Øjnene ser, skønner ej efter, hvad Ørene hører.

4 but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

Han dømmer de ringe med Retfærd, fælder redelig Dom over Landets arme. Voldsmanden slår han med Mundens Ris, gudløse dræber han med Læbernes Ånde.

5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his reins, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins.

Og Retfærd er Bæltet, han har om sin Lænd, Trofasthed Hofternes Bælte.

6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatted beast together, and a little child shall lead them.

Og Ulven skal gå hos Lammet, Panteren hvile hos Kiddet, Kalven og Ungløven græsse sammen, dem driver en lille Dreng.

7 And the cow and the she-bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

Kvien og Bjørnen bliver Venner, deres Unger ligger Side om Side, og Løven æder Strå som Oksen;

8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the adder, and the weaned child shall put forth its hand to the viper's den.

den spæde skal lege ved Øglens Hul, den afvante række sin Hånd til Giftslangens Rede.

9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.

Der gøres ej ondt og voldes ej Men i hele mit hellige Bjergland; thi Landet er fuldt af HERRENs Kundskab, som Vandene dækker Havets Bund.

10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, standing as a banner of the peoples: the nations shall seek it; and his resting-place shall be glory.

På hin Dag skal Hedningerne søge til Isajs Rodskud, der står som et Banner for Folkeslagene, og hans Bolig skal være herlig.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to acquire the remnant of his people which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

På hin Dag skal Herren atter udrække sin Hånd for at vinde, hvad der er til Rest af hans Folk, fra Assur og fra Ægypten, fra Patros, Ætiopien og Elam, fra Sinear, Hamat og Havets Strande.

12 And he shall lift up a banner to the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

For Folkene rejser han Banner, samler Israels bortdrevne Mænd, sanker Judas spredte Kvinder fra Verdens fire Hjørner.

13 And the envy of Ephraim shall depart, and the troublers of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim will not envy Judah, and Judah will not trouble Ephraim:

Efraims Skinsyge viger, og Judas Avind svinder; Efraim er ikke skinsygt på Juda, og Juda bærer ej Avind mod Efraim.

14 but they shall fly upon the shoulder of the Philistines towards the west; together shall they spoil the sons of the east; they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

I Vest slår de ned på Filisternes Skulder, sammen plyndrer de Østens Sønner, mod Edom og Moab rækker de Hånden, Ammons Sønner lyder dem.

15 And Jehovah will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind will he shake his hand over the river, and will smite it into seven streams, and make [men] go over dryshod.

HERREN udtørrer Ægypterhavets Vig og svinger Hånden mod Floden i sin Ånds Vælde; han kløver den i syv Bække, så man kan gå over med Sko;

16 And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people which will be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day when he went up out of the land of Egypt.

der bliver en banet Vej for dem af hans Folk, som levnes fra Assyrien, således som der var for Israel, da det drog op fra Ægypten.
