Isaiah 27
1 In that day YHWH lays a charge, With His sword—the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan—a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan—a crooked serpent, And He has slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
Paa den Dag skal Herren med sit haarde og store og stærke Sværd hjemsøge Leviathan, den flygtende Slange, og Leviathan, den bugtede Slange, og han skal ihjelslaa. Uhyret, som er i Havet.
2 In that day respond to her, “A desirable vineyard,
Paa den Dag synger om en lystelig Vingaard:
3 I, YHWH, am its keeper, I water it every moment, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
Jeg, Herren, er dens Vogter, hvert Øjeblik vander jeg den; for at ingen skal hjemsøge den, vil jeg Dag og Nat vogte den.
4 Fury is not in Me; Who gives Me a brier—a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
Jeg har ikke Vrede; men lad Torne og Tidsler komme imod mig med Krig, da vil jeg falde ind paa dem og opbrænde dem til Hobe,
5 Or—he takes hold on My strength, [That] he makes peace with Me, [And] he makes peace with Me.”
hvis man ikke vil tage sin Tilflugt til mig, slutte Fred med mig, slutte Fred med mig.
6 He causes those coming in to take root, Jacob blossoms, and Israel has flourished, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
I de kommende Dage skal Jakob slaa Rødder, Israel skal blomstre og faa Knopper; og de skulle fylde Jorderige med Frugt.
7 Has He struck him as the striking of his striker? Does He slay as the slaying of his slain?
Mon han har slaget det, som han har slaget dets Drabsmænd? eller mon det være ihjelslaget, som de ere ihjelslagne, der ihjelslog det?
8 In measure, in sending it forth, you strive with it, He has taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind,
Med Maade, med Udstødelse trættede du imod det; han bortrev det ved sit haarde Vejr, den Dag det var Østenstorm.
9 Therefore the iniquity of Jacob is covered by this, And this [is] all the fruit—To take away his sin, In his setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They do not rise—Asherim and images.
Derfor bliver herved Jakobs Ondskab udsonet, og Frugten af, at han borttager dets Synd, er alt dette: At han gør alle Alterets Stene som adspredte Kalkstene; Astartebilleder og Solbilleder skulle ikke rejse sig mere.
10 For the fortified city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There the calf delights, And there it lies down, And has consumed its branches.
Thi den faste Stad ligger øde, en Bolig forkastet og forladt som Ørken; der skulle Kalve gaa i Græs, og der skulle de ligge og fortære dens Kviste.
11 In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in [and] setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore its Maker does not pity it, And its Former does not favor it.
Naar dens Grene tørres, da skulle de sønderbrydes, Kvinder skulle komme og gøre Ild dermed; thi det er ikke et forstandigt Folk, derfor skal han, som skabte det, ikke forbarme sig over det, og han, som dannede det, skal ikke være det naadig.
12 And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH beats out from the branch of the river, To the stream of Egypt, And you are gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at Herren skal afryste Frugter fra Flodens Strøm indtil Ægyptens Bæk; og I skulle opsankes, en for en, I Israels Børn!
13 And it has come to pass in that day, It is blown with a great horn, And those perishing in the land of Asshur have come in, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to YHWH, In the holy mountain—in Jerusalem!
Og det skal ske, paa den Dag skal man blæse i en stor Basun, saa skulle de fortabte i Assyriens Land og de bortdrevne i Ægyptens Land komme og tilbede Herren paa det hellige Bjerg i Jerusalem.
