Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee also, that thou too art wholly gone up to the housetops?
Et Udsagn: »Synernes Dal«. Hvad tænker du paa, siden alle stiger op paa Tagene,
2 Full of clamour, a populous city, a joyous city: thy slain are not slain by the sword, nor dead in battle.
du larmende, støjende By, du jublende Stad? Dine slagne er vel ikke sværdslagne, døde i Krig!
3 All the princes are fled together, and are bound hard: all that were found, are bound together, they are fled far off.
Alle dine Høvdinger flygted, flyed langt bort, alle dine Helte, væbnet med Buer, blev fanget.
4 Therefore have I said: Depart from me, I will weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, for the devastation 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 slaughter and of treading down, and of weeping to the Lord the God of hosts in the valley of vision, searching the wall, and magnificent upon 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 And Elam took the quiver, the chariot of the horseman, and the shield was taken down from the wall.
Elam løftede Koggeret, Aram satte sig til Hest, Kir tog Skjoldene ud;
7 And thy choice valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horseman shall place themselves in the gate.
og de bedste iblandt dine Dale fyldtes med Vogne og Heste, lige til Porten stod de.
8 And the covering of Juda shall be discovered, and thou shalt see in that day the armoury of the house of the forest.
Han borttog Judas Værn. Paa den Dag saa I hen til Skovhusets Rustkammer,
9 And you shall see the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and you 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 have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and broken down houses to fortify the wall.
gik Jerusalems Huse igennem og rev Husene ned for at gøre Muren stærk.
11 And you made a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: and you have not looked up to the maker thereof, nor regarded him even at a distance, that wrought 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 the Lord, the God of hosts, in that day shall call to weeping, and to mourning, 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 gladness, killing calves, and slaying rams, eating flesh, and drinking wine: Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall 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 the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you till you die, saith the Lord God 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 God of hosts: Go, get thee in to him that dwelleth in the tabernacle, to Sobna who is over the temple: and thou shalt say to him:
Saa siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE: Gaa hen og sig til denne Foged, Slotshøvedsmanden Sjebna:
16 What dost thou here, or as if thou wert somebody here? for thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, thou hast hewed out a monument carefully in a high place, a dwelling for thyself in a rock.
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 the Lord will cause thee to be carried away, as a cock is carried away, and he will lift thee up as a garment.
Se, HERREN slynger dig bort og bøjer dig sammen, du stolte,
18 He will crown thee with a crown of tribulation, he will toss thee like a ball into a large and spacious country: there shalt thou die, and there shall the chariot of thy glory be, the shame of the house of thy Lord.
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 out From thy station, and depose thee from thy ministry.
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 Eliacim the son of Helcias,
Men paa hin Dag kalder jeg min Tjener Eljakim, Hilkijas Søn,
21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and will strengthen him with thy girdle, and will give thy power into his hand: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Juda.
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 I will lay the key of the house of David 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 peg in a sure place, and he shall be for a throne of glory to the house of his father.
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, divers kinds of vessels, every little vessel, from the vessels of cups even to every instrument of music.
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 the Lord of hosts, shall the peg be removed, that was fastened in the sure place: and it shall be broken and shall fall: and that which hung thereon, shall perish, because the Lord hath spoken it.
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!
