Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord God is vpon mee, therefore hath the Lord anoynted mee: hee hath sent mee to preache good tidings vnto the poore, to binde vp the broken hearted, to preach libertie to the captiues, and to them that are bound, the opening of the prison,
Deri Herre, Herres Aand er over mig, derfor har Herren salvet mig til at kundgøre et godt Budskab for de fattige, han sendte mig til at helbrede dem, som have et sønderknust Hjerte, til at udraabe for de fangne Frihed og for de bundne Løsladelse;
2 To preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourne,
til at udraabe Herrens Velbehageligheds Aar og vor Guds Hævns Dag; til at trøste alle sørgende;
3 To appoint vnto them that mourne in Zion, and to giue vnto them beautie for ashes, the oyle of ioye for mourning, the garment of gladnesse for the spirit of heauinesse, that they might be called trees of righteousnesse, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
til at beskikke det for de sørgende i Zion, at der skal gives dem Hovedprydelse i Stedet for Aske, Glædens Olie i Stedet for Sorrig, Lovprisnings Klædebon i Stedet for en vansmægtet Aand, saa at de skulle kaldes Retfærdighedens Terebinter, Herrens Plantning, ham til Herlighed.
4 And they shall builde the olde waste places, and raise vp the former desolations, and they shall repaire the cities that were desolate and waste through many generations.
Og de skulle bygge de Stæder, som laa øde fra fordums Tid, og rejse, hvad der fra Fortiden af var ødelagt, og paa ny opføre de øde Stæder, som laa i Grus fra Slægt til Slægt.
5 And the strangers shall stande and feede your sheepe, and the sonnes of the strangers shall be your plowmen and dressers of your vines.
Og fremmede skulle staa og vogte eders Faar, og Udlændinge skulle være eders Avlsmænd og eders Vingaardsmænd.
6 But ye shall be named the Priestes of the Lord, and men shall say vnto you, The ministers of our God, Ye shall eate the riches of the Gentiles, and shalbe exalted with their glorie.
Men I skulle kaldes Herrens Præster, man skal kalde eder vor Guds Tjenere; I skulle æde Hedningernes Gods og indtræde i deres Herlighed.
7 For your shame you shall receiue double, and for confusion they shall reioyce in their portion: for in their lande they shall possesse the double: euerlasting ioy shall be vnto them.
I Stedet for eders Beskæmmelse skulle I have tvefold Ære, og i Stedet for Skændsel skal Jubel vorde eders Lod; derfor skulle I faa en dobbelt Arvelod i eders Land, I skulle have evig Glæde.
8 For I the Lord loue iudgement and hate robberie for burnt offering, and I wil direct their worke in trueth, and will make an euerlasting couenant with them.
Thi jeg, Herren, elsker Ret og hader Uretfærdigheds Rov; og jeg vil trolig give dem deres Løn og gøre en evig Pagt med dem.
9 And their seede shall be knowen among the Gentiles, and their buddes among the people. All that see them, shall know them, that they are the seede which the Lord hath blessed.
Og man skal kende deres Sæd iblandt Hedningerne og deres Afkom midt iblandt Folkene, alle, som se dem, skulle kende dem, at de ere den Sæd, som Herren har velsignet.
10 I will greatly reioyce in the Lord, and my soule shall be ioyfull in my God: for he hath clothed mee with the garments of saluation, and couered me with the robe of righteousnes: hee hath decked me like a bridegrome, and as a bride tireth herselfe with her iewels.
Jeg vil glæde mig storlig i Herren, min Sjæl skal fryde sig i min Gud; thi han iførte mig Frelsens Klædebon, han klædte mig med Retfærdighedens Kappe; som en Brudgom, der sætter Hovedpynten paa, og som en Brud, der pryder sig med sit Smykke.
11 For as the earth bringeth foorth her bud, and as the garden causeth to growe that which is sowen in it: so the Lord God will cause righteousnesse to grow and praise before all the heathen.
Thi som Jorden, der giver sin Grøde, og som en Have, der lader sin Sæd opvokse, saaledes skal den Herre, Herre lade Retfærdighed og Lovsang opvokse i alle Hedningernes Paasyn.
