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,
Herrens, Herrens ande er yver meg, for Herren hev salva meg til å bera fagnadbod til dei smålåtne, han hev sendt meg til å binda um dei hugbrotne, til å ropa ut fridom for fangar, og for dei bundne utløysing,
2 To preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourne,
ropa ut eit nåde-år for Herren og ein hemnedag frå vår Gud, til å trøysta alle dei syrgjande,
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 å gjeva dei syrgjande i Sion høgtidskruna for syrgjebunad, gledeolje i staden for sorg, lovsongs-klæde for vanmoda ånd, og dei skal heita rettferds eiker, Herrens plantning til herleggjering.
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.
Dei skal byggja upp att gamle grushaugar, reisa upp att ruinar frå federne, nya upp att nedbrotne byar, øydegarder frå ætt til ætt.
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.
Framande skal gjæta smalen dykkar, utlendingar dyrka åt dykk både åker og vingard.
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 de skal heita Guds prestar, tenarar åt vår Gud skal dei kalla dykk; folke-eiga skal de njota, og deira herlegdom skal de få.
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.
For dykkar skam fær de dobbelt att, dei som leid skjemsla, skal prisa sin lut. Difor fær dei dobbel lut i sitt land, æveleg gleda skal dei få.
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.
For eg, Herren, elskar retten, eg hatar urett ran, og trufast gjev eg deim løni deira og gjer med deim ei æveleg pakt.
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.
Namngjeti vert deira ætt millom folki og avkjømet deira bland tjoderne; alle som ser deim, skal kjenna deim, at dei er ei ætt som Herren hev signa.
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.
Eg gled meg storleg i Herren, sjæli mi fegnast i min Gud. For han hev klædt meg i frelse-klæde, sveipt meg i rettferds-kåpa, som ein brudgom seg pryder med prestehuva og ei brur tek på seg sin prydnad.
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.
For som jordi sin grode let renna, og hagen sitt sæde let veksa, so let Herren, Herren rettferd renna og lovsong for alle folks åsyn.
