Isaiah 50
1 This is what the Lord says: Where's your mother's divorce certificate I gave her when I sent her away? Which of my creditors did I sell you to? Now look! You were sold because of your sins, and your mother was sent away because of your wrongdoing.
Saa siger Herren: Hvor er eders Moders Skilsmissebrev, ved hvilket jeg skulde have forskudt hende? eller hvem var jeg en Skyldner, at jeg skulde have solgt eder til ham? se, I ere solgte for eders Misgerningers Skyld, og eders Moder er forskudt for eders Overtrædelsers Skyld.
2 When I came, why wasn't anyone there? When I called, why didn't anyone answer? Is it because I don't have the strength to save you, or the power to rescue you? Can't you see that if I order it, the sea will dry up? I can turn rivers into a desert. Their fish stink because they've died of thirst since there's no water.
Hvorfor er der ingen, naar jeg kommer? hvorfor svarer ingen, naar jeg kalder? er min Haand saa forkortet, at den ikke kan forløse? eller er der ingen Kraft hos mig til at redde? se, jeg udtørrer Havet ved min Trusel, jeg gør Floder til Ørk, at deres Fisk stinke, fordi der ikke er Vand, og dø af Tørst.
3 I can make the heavens go dark, covering them with sackcloth like they're in mourning.
Jeg klæder Himmelen i sort og indhyller den i Sørgedragt.
4 The Lord God has given me the ability to teach others, to know how to encourage those who are exhausted with a word. He wakes me up every morning; he helps me listen as a disciple.
Den Herre, Herre har givet mig de udlærtes Tunge, at jeg ved at kvæge den mødige med et Ord; han vækker hver Morgen, ja, vækker mit Øre til at høre som de, der ere udlærte.
5 The Lord God has instructed me, and I haven't been rebellious and I haven't turned away.
Den Herre, Herre har aabnet mig Øret, og jeg var ikke genstridig; jeg veg ikke tilbage.
6 I offered my back for people to beat me and my cheeks for people to pull my beard. I didn't hide my face from their mocking and spitting.
Jeg hengav min Ryg til dem, som sloge mig, og mine Kinder til dem, som rykkede mig i Skægget; jeg skjulte ikke mit Ansigt for Forsmædelser og Spyt.
7 The Lord God helps me, so I haven't been disgraced. That's why I'm so determined, setting my face hard as stone, knowing I won't be humiliated.
Men den Herre, Herre skal hjælpe mig, derfor bliver jeg ikke beskæmmet, derfor gjorde jeg mit Ansigt som en haard Sten, og jeg ved, at jeg ikke bliver til Skamme.
8 The one who vindicates me is close by, so who will bring charges against me? Let's stand to oppose one another! Come on, anyone who wants to accuse me!
Han er nær, som mig retfærdiggør; hvo vil trætte med mig? lader os træde frem med hinanden; hvo er den, som har Sag imod mig? han komme hid til mig!
9 The Lord God defends me. Who is going to declare me guilty? Look! Those who try will fall apart like old clothing, eaten up by moths.
Se, den Herre, Herre skal hjælpe mig; hvo er den, som mig kan fordømme? se, de skulle alle ældes som et Klæde, Møl skal fortære dem.
10 Who among you respects the Lord and obeys what his servant says? Who among you walks in darkness and doesn't have light? Let them trust in the Lord and put their confidence in God.
Hvo er iblandt eder, som frygter Herren, og som adlyder hans Tjeners Røst? naar han vandrer i Mørke og har ikke Lysets Skin, skal han forlade sig paa Herrens Navn, ja stole fast paa sin Gud.
11 Beware all you who start a fire, who pick up blazing torches! Go ahead, walk in the light of your own fire and of the torches you yourselves have set alight! This is what you will receive from me: You are going to lie down in a place of suffering.
Se, alle I, som optænde en Ild og omgive eder med Blus, vandrer I kun ved eders Ilds Lys og ved de Blus, som I have tændt! Fra min Haand skal dette ske eder, i Smerte skulde I ligge.
