Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me, because Jehovah hath anointed me to announce glad tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Herrens, Herrens ande er yver meg, for Herren hev salva meg til å bera fagnadbod til dei smålåtne, han hev sendt meg til å binda um dei hugbrotne, til å ropa ut fridom for fangar, og for dei bundne utløysing,
2 to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
ropa ut eit nåde-år for Herren og ein hemnedag frå vår Gud, til å trøysta alle dei syrgjande,
3 to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, that beauty should be given unto them instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of the spirit of heaviness: that they might be called terebinths of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified.
til å gjeva dei syrgjande i Sion høgtidskruna for syrgjebunad, gledeolje i staden for sorg, lovsongs-klæde for vanmoda ånd, og dei skal heita rettferds eiker, Herrens plantning til herleggjering.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the places desolate from generation to generation.
Dei skal byggja upp att gamle grushaugar, reisa upp att ruinar frå federne, nya upp att nedbrotne byar, øydegarder frå ætt til ætt.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your ploughmen and your vinedressers.
Framande skal gjæta smalen dykkar, utlendingar dyrka åt dykk både åker og vingard.
6 But as for you, ye shall be called priests of Jehovah; it shall be said of you: Ministers of our God. Ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and into their glory shall ye enter.
Men de skal heita Guds prestar, tenarar åt vår Gud skal dei kalla dykk; folke-eiga skal de njota, og deira herlegdom skal de få.
7 Instead of your shame [ye shall have] double; instead of confusion they shall celebrate with joy their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double; everlasting joy shall be unto them.
For dykkar skam fær de dobbelt att, dei som leid skjemsla, skal prisa sin lut. Difor fær dei dobbel lut i sitt land, æveleg gleda skal dei få.
8 For I, Jehovah, love judgment, I hate robbery with wrong; and I will give their recompence in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
For eg, Herren, elskar retten, eg hatar urett ran, og trufast gjev eg deim løni deira og gjer med deim ei æveleg pakt.
9 And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are a seed that Jehovah hath blessed.
Namngjeti vert deira ætt millom folki og avkjømet deira bland tjoderne; alle som ser deim, skal kjenna deim, at dei er ei ætt som Herren hev signa.
10 I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with the priestly turban, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
Eg gled meg storleg i Herren, sjæli mi fegnast i min Gud. For han hev klædt meg i frelse-klæde, sveipt meg i rettferds-kåpa, som ein brudgom seg pryder med prestehuva og ei brur tek på seg sin prydnad.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as a garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
For som jordi sin grode let renna, og hagen sitt sæde let veksa, so let Herren, Herren rettferd renna og lovsong for alle folks åsyn.
