Isaiah 25
1 O Lord, thou art my God: I will exalt thee, I will prayse thy Name: for thou hast done wonderfull things, according to the counsels of old, with a stable trueth.
Herre! du er min Gud, jeg vil ophøje dig, jeg vil bekende dit Navn; thi du gjorde Under; de Raad, som ere fattede længe tilforn, ere Trofasthed og Sandhed.
2 For thou hast made of a citie an heape, of a strong citie, a ruine: euen the palace of strangers of a citie, it shall neuer be built.
Thi du gjorde af Staden en Stenhob, af den faste Stad en Grushob, de fremmedes Paladser ere ikke længer en Stad; den skal ikke bygges evindelig.
3 Therefore shall the mightie people giue glory vnto thee: the citie of the strong nations shall feare thee.
Derfor skal et mægtigt Folk ære dig; grumme Hedningers Stæder skulle frygte dig.
4 For thou hast bene a strength vnto the poore, euen a strength to the needie in his trouble, a refuge against the tempest, a shadow against the heate: for the blaste of the mightie is like a storme against the wall.
Thi du var den ringes Styrke, den fattiges Styrke, da han var i Angest, en Tilflugt imod Regnskyl, en Skygge imod Heden; thi de grummes Fnysen er som Regnskyl imod en Væg.
5 Thou shalt bring downe the noyse of the strangers, as the heate in a drie place: he wil bring downe the song of the mightie, as the heate in the shadowe of a cloude.
Som Heden i det tørre Land, saa nedtrykker du de fremmedes Bulder; som Heden ved Skyggen af en Sky, saa dæmpes de grummes Sang.
6 And in this mountaine shall the Lord of hostes make vnto all people a feast of fat thinges, euen a feast of fined wines, and of fat thinges full of marow, of wines fined and purified.
Og den Herre Zebaoth skal gøre for alle Folkeslag et fedt Gæstebud paa dette Bjerg, et Gæstebud med gammel Vin, med fed Marv, med gammel, klaret Vin.
7 And he will destroy in this mountaine the couering that couereth all people, and the vaile that is spread vpon all nations.
Og paa dette Bjerg skal han borttage Sløret, med hvilket alle Folkeslag ere tilslørede, og Dækket, hvormed alle Hedninger ere bedækkede.
8 He wil destroy death for euer: and the Lord God wil wipe away the teares from all faces, and the rebuke of his people will he take away out of all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
Han skal opsluge Døden for evig, og den Herre, Herre skal afviske Graaden af alle Ansigter og borttage sit Folks Forsmædelse af al Jorden; thi Herren har talt det.
9 And in that day shall men say, Loe, this is our God: we haue waited for him, and he wil saue vs. This is the Lord, we haue waited for him: we will reioyce and be ioyfull in his saluation.
Og man skal sige paa den Dag: Se, dette er vor Gud, vi have haabet paa ham, og han skal frelse os; dette er Herren, vi have haabet paa ham, vi ville fryde og glæde os ved hans Frelse.
10 For in this mountaine shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shalbe threshed vnder him, euen as strawe is thresshed in Madmenah.
Thi Herrens Haand skal hvile over dette Bjerg; men Moab skal nedtrædes, som man nedtræder Halm i Møddingpølen.
11 And he shall stretche out his hande in the middes of them (as he that swimmeth, stretcheth them out to swimme) and with the strength of his handes shall he bring downe their pride.
Og det skal brede sine Hænder ud deri, ligesom den, der svømmer, udbreder dem for at svømme; og han skal nedtrykke dets Hovmod tillige med dets Hænders Ranker.
12 The defence also of the height of thy walles shall he bring downe and lay lowe, and cast them to the ground, euen vnto the dust.
Og dine høje Mures Befæstning skal han styrte, nedkaste, slaa til Jorden indtil Støvet.
