Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
Et Udsagn: »Synernes Dal«. Hvad tænker du paa, siden alle stiger op paa Tagene,
2 Thou that wast full of stir, a town of tumult, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
du larmende, støjende By, du jublende Stad? Dine slagne er vel ikke sværdslagne, døde i Krig!
3 All thy rulers have fled together, they are taken prisoners without the bow: all that are found of thee are made prisoners together; they were fleeing far off.
Alle dine Høvdinger flygted, flyed langt bort, alle dine Helte, væbnet med Buer, blev fanget.
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; let me weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
Derfor siger jeg: Gaa fra mig, lad mig græde bittert, træng ej paa for at trøste mig over, at mit Folk er lagt øde!
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision; [a day of] breaking down the wall, and of crying to the mountain:
Thi en Dag, da man ræddes, trædes og trænges, har Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, til Rede! I Synernes Dal brødes Mure ned, mod Bjerget hørtes Skrig;
6 — Elam beareth the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen; and Kir uncovereth the shield.
Elam løftede Koggeret, Aram satte sig til Hest, Kir tog Skjoldene ud;
7 And it shall come to pass [that] thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
og de bedste iblandt dine Dale fyldtes med Vogne og Heste, lige til Porten stod de.
8 And he uncovereth the covering of Judah: and thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest;
Han borttog Judas Værn. Paa den Dag saa I hen til Skovhusets Rustkammer,
9 and ye have seen the breaches of the city of David, that they are many; and ye have gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
og I saa, hvor mange Revner der var i Davidsbyen. I samlede Nedredammens Vand,
10 and ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and have broken down the houses to fortify the wall;
gik Jerusalems Huse igennem og rev Husene ned for at gøre Muren stærk.
11 and ye have made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not had regard unto the maker thereof, neither have ye looked unto him that fashioned it long ago.
I gravede mellem de to Mure en Fordybning til den gamle Dams Vand. Men til ham, der virked det, skued I ikke, saa ej hen til ham, som beredte det for længst.
12 And in that day did the Lord Jehovah of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;
Paa hin Dag kaldte Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, til Graad og Sorg, til Hovedragning og Sæk.
13 and behold joy and rejoicing, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: — Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
Men se, der er Fryd og Glæde, man slaar Okser ned, slagter Faar, æder Kød og faar Vin at drikke: »Lad os æde og drikke, thi i Morgen dør vi!«
14 And it was revealed in mine ears by Jehovah of hosts: Assuredly this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Men Hærskarers HERRE aabenbared for mit Øre: »Den Synd, « siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, »faar I ikke sonet, førend I dør!«
15 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts: Go, get thee in unto this steward, unto Shebna, who is over the house, [and say, ]
Saa siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE: Gaa hen og sig til denne Foged, Slotshøvedsmanden Sjebna:
16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewn thee out a sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth out his sepulchre on high, cutting out in the rock a habitation for himself?
Hvad har du her, og hvem har du her, at du her udhugger din Grav, udhugger dig en Grav højt oppe, huler dig en Bolig i Klippen!
17 Behold, Jehovah will hurl thee with the force of a mighty man, and will cover thee entirely.
Se, HERREN slynger dig bort og bøjer dig sammen, du stolte,
18 Rolling thee up completely, he will roll thee as a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, O shame of thy lord's house!
han knytter dig sammen til et Knytte og kaster dig ud i et vidtstrakt Land! Der skal du dø, der din Æresvogn komme, du Skændsel for din Herres Hus!
19 And I will drive thee from thine office, and from thy station will I pull thee down.
Jeg støder dig bort fra din Stilling og styrter dig fra din Post.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkijah;
Men paa hin Dag kalder jeg min Tjener Eljakim, Hilkijas Søn,
21 and I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
og iklæder ham din Kjortel, omgjorder ham med dit Bælte og lægger din Myndighed i hans Haand. Han skal blive en Fader for Jerusalems Indbyggere og Judas Hus.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Jeg lægger Nøglen til Davids Hus paa hans Skulder; naar han lukker op, skal ingen lukke i, og naar han lukker i, skal ingen lukke op,
23 And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house:
Jeg fæster ham som en Nagle paa et sikkert Sted, og han skal blive til Hæder for sit Fædrenehus.
24 and they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all the small vessels, as well the vessels of cups as all the vessels of flagons.
Men hænger hans Fædrenehus's hele Vægt sig paa ham, Skud og Vildskud, alle Smaakar, fra Fadene til alle Krukkerne,
25 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in a sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for Jehovah hath spoken.
saa skal det ske paa den Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, at Naglen, der var fæstet paa et sikkert Sted, giver efter, rives ud og falder ned, og hele Vægten, som hænger derpaa, skal slaas sønder. Thi HERREN har talet!
