Isaiah 2
1 This is the vision that Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.
Dette er, hvad Esajas, Amoz's Søn, skuede om Jerusalem:
2 In the last days the mountain where the Lord's Temple stands will be recognized as the highest of all mountains, rising above other hills. Many from the other nations will travel to it.
Det skal ske i de sidste Dage, at HERRENs Huses Bjerg, grundfæstet på Bjergenes Top, skal løfte sig op over Højene. Did skal Folkene strømme
3 People will come and say, “Let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. There God will teach us his ways and we will follow his directions. God's teachings will spread out from Zion, his word from Jerusalem.”
og talrige Folkeslag vandre: "Kom, lad os drage til HERRENs Bjerg, til Jakobs Guds Hus; han skal lære os sine Veje, så vi kan gå på hans Stier; thi fra Zion udgår Åbenbaring, fra Jerusalem, HERRENs Ord:"
4 The Lord will decide the cases of the nations; he will settle arguments between nations. They will hammer their swords and turn them into plough blades, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not fight against each other anymore; they will no longer learn methods of warfare.
Da dømmer han Folk imellem, skifter Ret mellem talrige Folkeslag; deres Sværd skal de smede til Plovjern, deres Spyd til Vingårdsknive; Folk skal ej løfte Sværd mod Folk, ej øve sig i Våbenfærd mer.
5 Come, you Israelites, let's walk in the Lord's light.
Kom, Jakobs Hus, lad os vandre i HERRENs Lys!
6 For you, Lord, have given up on your people the Israelites, because they have adopted pagan practices from the East, they use spells like the Philistines, and make friends with foreigners.
Thi du forskød dit Folk, Jakobs Hus; de er fulde af Østens Væsen og spår, som var de Filistre, giver Folk fra Udlandet Håndslag.
7 Their country is full of silver and gold, and endless wealth. Their land is full of horses; and they have an endless amount of chariots.
Deres Land er fuldt af Sølv og Guld, talløse er deres Skatte; deres Land er fuldt af Heste, talløse er deres vogne;
8 Their country is full of idols; they bow down and worship what they have made themselves—produced by their own hands!
deres Land er fuldt af Afguder, de tilbeder Værk af deres Hænder, Ting, deres Fingre har lavet.
9 These people will be brought down and humiliated—Lord, don't forgive them!
Men bøjes skal Mennesket, Manden ydmyges, tilgiv dem ikke!
10 Run away into rock caves, hide underground from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty.
Gå ind i Klippen, skjul dig, i Støvet for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed!
11 Those who look with arrogance will be brought low; those who are proud will be humbled. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
Sine stolte Øjne skal Mennesket slå ned, Mændenes Hovmod skal bøjes, og HERREN alene være høj på hin Dag.
12 The Lord has set aside a day when he will deal with the proud and arrogant. He will end all self-glorification, bringing it down.
Thi en Dag har Hærskarers HERRE mod alt det høje og knejsende, mod alt ophøjet og stolt,
13 He will cut down the cedars of Lebanon, tall and high, and all the great oaks of Bashan,
med alle Libanons Cedre, de knejsende høje, og alle Basans Ege,
14 He will bring down the tall mountains and the high hills.
mod alle knejsende Bjerge og alle høje Fjelde,
15 He will tear down every high tower and every defensive wall.
mod alle stolte Tårne og alle stejle Mure,
16 He will wipe out all the commercial ships of Tarshish as well as the pleasure vessels.
mod alle Tarsisskibe og hver en kostelig Ladning.
17 The arrogant will be humbled; the proud will be brought low. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
Da skal Menneskets Stolthed bøjes, Mændenes Hovmod ydmyges. og HERREN alene være høj på hin Dag.
18 Idols will completely vanish away.
Afguderne skal helt forsvinde.
19 People will run away into rock caves and holes in the ground to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
Og man skal gå ind i Klippehuler og Jordhuller for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed når han står op for at forfærde Jorden.
20 On that day the people will take the idols of silver and gold that they made to worship and throw them away to the rats and the bats.
På hin Dag skal Mennesket slænge sine Guder af Sølv og Guld, som han lavede sig for at tilbede dem, hen til Muldvarpe og Flagermus
21 They will run to cracks in the rocks and gaps on the cliffs to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
for at gå ind i Klipperevner og Fjeldkløfter for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed, når han står op for at forfærde Jorden.
22 Don't bother trusting human beings who only live for a while. How much do they count?
Slå ikke mer eders Lid til Mennesker, i hvis Næse der kun er flygtig Ånde, thi hvad er de at regne for?
