Isaiah 27
1 At that time the Lord will take his sharp, large, and strong sword, and punish Leviathan, the slithering serpent, and Leviathan, the coiled serpent, and he will kill the sea dragon.
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 At that time, sing about a beautiful vineyard.
Paa hin Dag skal man sige: Syng om en liflig Vingaard!
3 I, the Lord, take care of it, watering it often. I guard it night and day so that nobody can damage it.
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 I'm not angry anymore. If there are thorns and brambles I would go and fight them, burning them all up,
Vrede nærer jeg ikke. Fandt jeg kun Torn og Tidsel, gik jeg løs derpaa i Kamp og satte det alt i Brand —
5 Otherwise they should come to me for protection. They should make their peace with me, yes, make their peace with me.
med mindre man tyr til mit Værn, slutter Fred med mig, slutter Fred med mig.
6 In the future the descendants of Jacob will be like a tree taking root. Israel will flower and send out shoots, and fill the whole world with fruit!
Paa hin Dag skal Jakob slaa Rod, Israel skyde og blomstre og fylde Verden med Frugt.
7 Has the Lord hit Israel as he hit those that attacked them? Were they killed like their killers were killed?
Har han vel slaaet det, som de, der slog det, blev slagne, eller blev det myrdet, som deres Mordere myrdedes?
8 You dealt with them by sending them into exile, by banishing them. He drove them away with his powerful force, like when the east wind blows.
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 Through this experience Jacob's guilt will be forgiven. The removal of their sins will come to fruition when they take all the pagan altar stones and crush them to pieces like chalk—no Asherah poles or altars of incense will be left standing.
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 The fortified city will be abandoned, its houses as empty and lonely as a desert. Cattle will graze and rest there, stripping bare the branches of its trees.
Thi den faste Stad ligger ensom, et folketomt Sted, forladt som en Ørken. Der græsser Ungkvæget, der lejrer det sig og afgnaver Kvistene.
11 Their dry branches are broken off and used by women to make fires. This is a people that doesn't have any sense, so their Maker won't feel sorry for them, and their Creator won't help them.
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 At that time the Lord will thresh the grain harvested from the Euphrates River to the Wadi of Egypt, and you Israelites will be gathered up one by one.
Paa hin Dag slaar HERREN Frugten ned fra Flodens Strøm til Ægyptens Bæk, og I skal opsankes een for een, Israels Børn.
13 At that time a loud trumpet will sound, and those who were dying in Assyria will return along with those exiled in Egypt. They will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain 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.
