Isaiah 27
1 In that day the Lord with his hard, and great, and strong sword shall visit leviathan the bar serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent, and shall slay the whale that is in the see.
Paa hin Dag hjemsøger HERREN med sit haarde, vældige, stærke Sværd Livjatan, Den flugtsnare Slange, Livjatan, den bugtede Slange, og ihjelslaar Dragen i Havet.
2 In that day there shall be singing to the vineyard of pure wine.
Paa hin Dag skal man sige: Syng om en liflig Vingaard!
3 I am the Lord that keep it, I will suddenly give it drink: lest any hurt come to it, I keep it night and day.
Jeg, HERREN, jeg er dens Vogter, jeg vander den atter og atter. For at ingen skal hjemsøge den, vogter jeg den Nat og Dag.
4 There is no indignation in me: who shall make me a thorn and a brier in battle: shall march against it, shall I set it on fire together?
Vrede nærer jeg ikke. Fandt jeg kun Torn og Tidsel, gik jeg løs derpaa i Kamp og satte det alt i Brand —
5 Or rather shall it take hold of my strength, shall it make peace with me, shall it make peace with me?
med mindre man tyr til mit Værn, slutter Fred med mig, slutter Fred med mig.
6 When they shall rush in unto Jacob, Israel shall blossom and bud, and they shall fill the face of the world with seed.
Paa hin Dag skal Jakob slaa Rod, Israel skyde og blomstre og fylde Verden med Frugt.
7 Hath he struck him according to the stroke of him that struck him? or is he slain, as he killed them that were slain by him?
Har han vel slaaet det, som de, der slog det, blev slagne, eller blev det myrdet, som deres Mordere myrdedes?
8 In measure against measure, when it shall be cast off, thou shalt judge it. He hath meditated with his severe spirit in the day of heat.
Ved at støde det bort og sende det bort trættede han med det; han jog det bort med sin voldsomme Aande paa Østenstormens Dag.
9 Therefore upon this shall the iniquity of the house of Jacob be forgiven: and this is all the fruit, that the sin thereof should be taken away, when he shall have made all the stones of the altar, as burnt stones broken in pieces, the groves and temples shall not stand.
Derfor sones Jakobs Brøde saaledes, og dette er al Frugten af, at hans Synd tages bort: at han gør alle Altersten til sønderhuggede Kalksten, at Asjerastøtterne og Solstøtterne ikke mere rejser sig.
10 For the strong city shall be desolate, the beautiful city shall be forsaken, and shall be left as a wilderness: there the calf shall feed, and there shall he lie down, and shall consume its branches.
Thi den faste Stad ligger ensom, et folketomt Sted, forladt som en Ørken. Der græsser Ungkvæget, der lejrer det sig og afgnaver Kvistene.
11 Its harvest shall be destroyed with drought, women shall come and teach it: for it is not a wise people, therefore he that made it, shall not have mercy on it: and he that formed it, shall not spare it.
Naar Grenene er tørre, kommer Kvinderne og bryder dem af for at tænde Baal. Thi det er et Folk uden Indsigt; derfor kan dets Skaber ikke forbarme sig, dets Ophav ikke være det naadig.
12 And it shall come to pass, that in that day the Lord will strike from the channel of the river even to the torrent of Egypt, and you shall be gathered together one by one, O ye children of Israel.
Paa hin Dag slaar HERREN Frugten ned fra Flodens Strøm til Ægyptens Bæk, og I skal opsankes een for een, Israels Børn.
13 And it shall come to pass, that in that day a noise shall be made with a great trumpet, and they that were lost, shall come from the land of the Assyrians, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt, and they shall adore the Lord in the holy mount in Jerusalem.
Paa hin Dag skal der stødes i det store Horn, og de tabte i Assyrien og de bortdrevne i Ægypten skal komme og tilbede HERREN paa det hellige Bjerg i Jerusalem.
