Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What is [troubling] you now, that you have gone up, All of you—to the roofs?
Et Udsagn: "Synernes Dal". Hvad tænker du på, siden alle stiger op på Tagene,
2 Full of stirs—a noisy city—an exulting city, Your pierced are not pierced of the sword, Nor dead in battle.
du larmende, støjende By, du jublende Stad? Dine slagne er vel ikke sværdslagne, døde i Krig!
3 All your rulers fled from the bow together, All found of you have been bound, They have been kept bound together, They have fled far off.
Alle dine Høvdinger flygted, flyed langt bort, alle dine Helte, væbnet med Buer, blev fanget.
4 Therefore I said, “Look [away] from me, I am bitter in my weeping, do not hurry to comfort me, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
Derfor siger jeg: Gå fra mig, lad mig græde bittert, træng ej på for at trøste mig over, at mit Folk er lagt øde!
5 For a day of noise, and of treading down, And of perplexity, [is] to the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, In the Valley of Vision, digging down a wall, And crying to the mountain.
Thi en Dag, da man, ræddes, trædes og trænges, har Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, til Rede! I Synernes Dal brødes Mure ned, mod Bjerget hørtes Skrig;
6 And Elam has carried a quiver, In a chariot of men—horsemen, And Kir has exposed a shield.
Elam løftede Koggeret, Aram satte sig til Hest, Kir tog Skjoldene ud;
7 And it comes to pass, The choice of your valleys have been full of chariots, And the horsemen diligently place themselves at the gate.
og de bedste iblandt dine Dale fyldtes med Vogne og Heste, lige til Porten stod de.
8 And one removes the covering of Judah, And in that day you look To the armor of the house of the forest,
Han borttog Judas Værn. På den Dag så I hen til Skovhusets Rustkammer,
9 And you have seen the breaches of the City of David, For they have become many, And you gather the waters of the lower pool,
og I så, hvor mange Revner der var i Davidsbyen. I samlede Nedredammens Vand,
10 And you numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And you break down the houses to fortify the wall.
gik Jerusalems Huse igennem og rev Husene ned for at gøre Muren stærk.
11 And you made a ditch between the two walls, For the waters of the old pool, And you have not looked to its Maker, And you have not seen its Framer of old.
I gravede mellem de to Mure en Fordybning til den gamle Dams Vand. Men til ham, der virked det, skued I ikke, så ej hen til ham, som beredte det for længst.
12 And the Lord calls, YHWH of Hosts, In that day, to weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on of sackcloth,
På hin Dag kaldte Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, til Gråd og Sorg, til Hovedragning og Sæk.
13 And behold, joy and gladness, slaying of oxen, And slaughtering of sheep, Eating of flesh, and drinking of wine, Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
Men se, der er Fryd og Glæde, man slår Okser ned, slagter Får, æder Kød og får Vin at drikke: "Lad os æde og drikke, thi i Morgen dør vi!"
14 And it has been revealed in my ears, [By] YHWH of Hosts: This iniquity is not pardoned to you, Until you die, said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts.
Men Hærskarers HERRE åbenbared for mit Øre: "Den Synd," siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, "får I ikke sonet, førend I dør!"
15 Thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Go forth, go to this steward, To Shebna, who [is] over the house:
Så siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE: Gå hen og sig til denne Foged, Slotshøvedsmanden Sjebna:
16 What are you [doing] here? And who has [allowed] you here? That you have hewn out a tomb for yourself here? Hewing his tomb on high, Carving a dwelling for himself in a rock.
Hvad har du her, og hvem har du her, at du her udhugger din Grav, udhugger dig en Grav højt oppe, huler dig en Bolig i Klippen!
17 Behold, YHWH is casting you up and down, A casting up and down, O mighty one,
Se, HERREN slynger dig bort og bøjer dig sammen, du stolte,
18 And your coverer covering, wrapping around, Wraps you around, O babbler, On a land of broad sides—there you die, And there the chariots of your glory [are] the shame of the house of your lord.
han knytter dig sammen til et Knytte og kaster dig ud i et vidtstrakt Land! Der skal du dø, der din Æresvogn komme, du Skændsel for din Herres Hus!
19 And I have thrust you from your station, And he throws you down from your office.
Jeg støder dig bort fra din Stilling og styrter dig fra din Post.
20 And it has come to pass in that day, That I have called to My servant, To Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
Men på hin Dag kalder jeg min Tjener Eljakim, Hilkijas Søn,
21 And I have clothed him with your coat, And I strengthen him with your girdle, And I give your garment into his hand, And he has been for a father to the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And to the house of Judah.
og iklæder ham din Kjortel, omgjorder ham med dit Bælte og lægger din Myndighed i hans Hånd. Han skal blive en Fader for Jerusalems Indbyggere og Judas Hus.
22 And I have placed the key Of the house of David on his shoulder, And he has opened, and none is shutting, And has shut, and none is opening.
Jeg lægger Nøglen til Davids Hus på hans Skulder; når han lukker op, skal ingen lukke i, og når han lukker i, skal ingen lukke op,
23 And I have fixed him [as] a nail in a steadfast place, And he has been for a throne of glory To the house of his father.
Jeg fæster ham som en Nagle på et sikkert Sted, og han skal blive til Hæder for sit Fædrenehus.
24 And they have hanged on him All the glory of the house of his father, The offspring and the issue, All vessels of small quality, From vessels of basins to all vessels of flagons.
Men hænger hans Fædrenehus's hele Vægt sig på ham, Skud og Vildskud, alle Småkar, fra Fadene til alle Krukkerne,
25 In that day—a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, The nail that is fixed is moved In a steadfast place, Indeed, it has been cut down, and has fallen, And the burden that [is] on it has been cut off, For YHWH has spoken!”
så skal det ske på den Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, at Naglen, der var fæstet på et sikkert Sted, giver efter, rives ud og falder ned, og hele Vægten, som hænger derpå, skal slås sønder. Thi HERREN har talet!
