Isaiah 25
1 O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things; your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
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 you have made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never 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 strong people glorify you, the city of the terrible nations shall fear you.
Derfor skal et mægtigt Folk ære dig; grumme Hedningers Stæder skulle frygte dig.
4 For you have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm 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 You shall bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
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 mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the sediments of wine, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the sediments of wine well refined.
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 mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over 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 will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has 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 it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
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 mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
Thi Herrens Haand skal hvile over dette Bjerg; men Moab skal nedtrædes, som man nedtræder Halm i Møddingpølen.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swins spreads forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
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 And the fortress of the high fort of your walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
Og dine høje Mures Befæstning skal han styrte, nedkaste, slaa til Jorden indtil Støvet.
