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.
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 proclaim the year of the favor of YHWH, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners.
ropa ut eit nåde-år for Herren og ein hemnedag frå vår Gud, til å trøysta alle dei syrgjande,
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.”
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 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.
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 strangers have stood and fed your flock, And the sons of a foreigner [Are] your farmers and your vinedressers.
Framande skal gjæta smalen dykkar, utlendingar dyrka åt dykk både åker og vingard.
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 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 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.
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 [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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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!
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.
