Isaiah 34
1 Come close, you nations, and listen! You peoples, pay attention! Hear these words everyone who lives on earth, and all that comes from it!
Kom hid, I Folk, og hør, laan Øre, I Folkefærd! Jorden og dens Fylde høre, Jorderig og al dets Grøde!
2 The Lord's anger is against all the nations and his fury is against all their armies. He will completely destroy them; he will have them slaughtered.
Thi HERREN er vred paa alle Folkene, harmfuld paa al deres Hær; han slaar dem med Band og giver dem hen til at slagtes;
3 Those who are killed won't be buried; the stink of their bodies will rise; mountains will be washed away with their blood.
henslængt ligger de dræbte, Stank stiger op fra Ligene, Bjergene flyder af Blodet;
4 The sun, moon, and stars of heaven will fade away, and the skies will be rolled up like a scroll. All the stars will fall like dried-up leaves from a vine, like dried-up figs from a fig tree.
al Himlens Hær opløses; som en Bog rulles Himlen sammen, og al dens Hær visner hen som Vinstokkens visnende Blad, som Figentræets visnende Frugt.
5 After my sword has finished what it has to do in the heavens, it will come down on Edom, on the people I have doomed for destruction.
Thi paa Himlen kredser HERRENS Sværd, og se, det slaar ned paa Edom, det Folk, han har bandlyst til Dom.
6 The sword of the Lord is coated in blood and covered with fat—the blood of lambs and goats, and the fat of rams' kidneys. For there is a sacrifice for Lord happening in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
HERRENS Sværd er fuldt af Blod, det drypper af Fedt, af Faars og Bukkes Blod, af Fedt fra Vædres Nyrer. Thi HERREN slagter Offer i Bozra, har vældig Slagtning i Edom;
7 Wild ox will fall with them, the young bulls along with the mature ones. Their land will be soaked with blood, and their soil soaked with fat.
Urokser styrter med dem, Ungkvæg sammen med Tyre. Landet svælger i Blod, Jorden drypper af Fedt.
8 For the Lord has a day of punishment, a year of retribution, for the trouble caused to Zion.
Thi en Hævndag har HERREN til Rede, Zions Værge et Gengældsaar.
9 Edom's streams will be turned into tar, its soil into sulfur, and her land will become burning tar!
Dets Bække forvandles til Tjære, dets Jord til Svovl, og Landet bliver til Tjære, der brænder ved Nat og ved Dag,
10 The fire will burn day and night, and will never go out, its smoke will rise forever. From one generation to the next it will remain desolate—people won't ever go there again.
det slukkes aldrig; evigt stiger Røgen op, det er øde fra Slægt til Slægt, ingen skal færdes der.
11 The desert owl and screech owl will take it over, and the eagle owl and raven will live there. The Lord will stretch out over Edom a measuring line of destruction and a plumb line of desolation.
Pelikan og Rørdrum arver det, Ugle og Ravn skal bo der. HERREN spænder Tomheds Snor og Ødelæggelses Blylod derover.
12 Its nobles won't have anything to call a kingdom; all its princes will be gone.
Der skal Bukketrolde bo, dets ypperste bliver til intet, til Kongevalg kaldes ej der, det er ude med alle dets Fyrster.
13 Thorns will grow over its palaces; weeds and thistles will take over its fortresses. It will be a place where jackals live, a home for owls.
Dets Paladser gror til i Torn, dets Borge i Tidsel og Nælde, et Tilholdssted for Hyæner og Enemærke for Strudse.
14 It will be a meeting place for desert animals and hyenas, and wild goats will call to each other there. Night animals will settle there and find a place to rest.
Der mødes Sjakal med Vildkat, og Bukketrolde holder Stævne; kun der skal Natteheksen raste og lægge sig der til Ro;
15 There the owl will build its nest, lay and hatch its eggs, and raise its chicks in the shade of its wings. It has become a roost for birds of prey, each one with its mate.
der bygger Pilslangen Rede, lægger Æg og samler dem og ruger. Kun der skal Gribbene flokkes, ej savner den ene den anden.
16 Look in the scroll of the Lord and read what it says: Not a single one of these will be missing its mate, for the Lord has ordered this to happen, and his Spirit has gathered them together.
Se efter i HERRENS Bog og læs: Ej fattes en eneste af dem, ej savner den ene den anden. Thi HERRENS Mund, den bød, hans Aand har samlet dem sammen;
17 He assigns them their territories, he divides up the land for them using a measuring line. These birds and animals will own it forever, from one generation to the next.
han kastede Loddet for dem, hans Haand udskifted dem Land med Snoren; de tager det evigt i Eje, bor der fra Slægt til Slægt.
