Isaiah 61
1 “[The] Spirit of Lord YHWH [is] on Me, Because YHWH anointed Me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent Me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And an opening of bands to [those] bound.
Den Herre HERRENS Aand er over mig, fordi han salvede mig; han sendte mig med Glædesbud til ydmyge, med Lægedom for sønderbrudte Hjerter, for at udraabe Frihed for Fanger og Udgang for dem, som er bundet,
2 To proclaim the year of the favor of YHWH, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners.
udraabe et Naadeaar fra HERREN, en Hævnens Dag fra vor Gud, for at trøste alle, som sørger,
3 To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a faded spirit, And He is calling to them, Trees of righteousness, The planting of YHWH—to be beautified.”
give dem, som sørger i Zion, Højtidspragt for Sørgedragt, for Sørgeklædning Glædens Olie, Lovsang for modløst Sind. Man kalder dem Retfærds Ege, HERRENS Plantning til hans Ære.
4 And they have built the ancient ruins, They raise up the desolations of the ancients, And they have renewed ruined cities, The desolations of generation and generation.
De skal bygge paa ældgamle Tomter, rejse Fortidsruiner, genopbygge nedbrudte Byer, der fra Slægt til Slægt laa i Grus.
5 And strangers have stood and fed your flock, And the sons of a foreigner [Are] your farmers and your vinedressers.
Fremmede skal staa og vogte eders Smaakvæg, Udlændinge slide paa Mark og i Vingaard.
6 And you are called priests of YHWH, It is said of you [that you are] ministers of our God, You consume the strength of nations, And you boast yourselves in their glory.
Men I skal kaldes HERRENS Præster, vor Guds Tjenere være eders Navn. Af Folkenes Gods skal I leve, deres Herlighed faar I til Eje.
7 Instead of your shame—double [honor], And [instead of] confusion, They rejoice in their portion, Therefore they take possession in their land a second time, Continuous joy [is] for them.
Fordi de fik tvefold Skændsel, og Spot og Spyt var deres Lod, faar de tvefold Arv i deres Land, dem tilfalder evig Glæde;
8 “For I [am] YHWH, loving judgment, Hating plunder for a burnt-offering, And I have given their wage in truth, And I make a perpetual covenant for them.
thi jeg elsker Ret, jeg, HERREN, jeg hader forbryderisk Rov. Jeg giver dem Løn i Trofasthed og slutter med dem en evig Pagt.
9 And their seed has been known among the nations, And their offspring in the midst of the peoples, All their beholders acknowledge them, For they [are] a seed YHWH has blessed.”
Deres Æt skal kendes blandt Folkene, deres Afkom ude blandt Folkeslag; alle, der ser dem, skal kende dem som Slægten, HERREN velsigner.
10 I greatly rejoice in YHWH, My soul rejoices in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, [And] covered me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom prepares ornaments, And as a bride puts on her jewels.
Jeg vil glæde mig højlig i HERREN, min Sjæl skal juble i min Gud; thi han klædte mig i Frelsens Klæder, hylled mig i Retfærds Kappe, som en Brudgom, der binder sit Hovedbind, som Bruden, der fæster sine Smykker.
11 For as the earth brings forth her shoots, And as a garden causes its sown things to shoot up, So Lord YHWH causes righteousness and praise To shoot up before all the nations!
Thi som Spiren gror af Jorden, som Sæd spirer frem i en Have, saa lader den Herre HERREN Retfærd gro og Lovsang for al Folkenes Øjne.
