Isaiah 62
1 For Zion’s sake I am not silent, And for Jerusalem’s sake I do not rest, Until her righteousness goes out as brightness, And her salvation burns as a torch.
For Zions Skyld vil jeg ej tie, for Jerusalems skyld ej hvile før dets Ret rinder op som Lys, som en luende Fakkel dets Frelse.
2 And nations have seen your righteousness, And all kings your glory, And He is giving a new name to you, That the mouth of YHWH defines.
Din Ret skal Folkene skue og alle Konger din Ære. Et nyt Navn giver man dig, som HERRENs Mund skal nævne.
3 And you have been a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, And a turban of royalty in the hand of your God,
Og du bliver en dejlig Krone i HERRENs Hånd, et kongeligt Hovedbind i Hånden på din Gud.
4 It is not said of you anymore, “Forsaken!” And of your land it is not said anymore, “Desolate,” For to you is cried, “My delight [is] in her,” And to your land, “Married,” For YHWH has delighted in you, And your land is married.
Du kaldes ej mer "den forladte", dit Land "den ensomme"; nej, "Velbehag" kaldes du selv, og dit Land kaldes "Hustru". Thi HERREN har Velbehag i dig, dit Land skal ægtes.
5 For a young man marries a virgin, Your builders marry you, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Your God rejoices over you.
Som Ynglingen ægter en Jomfru, så din Bygmester dig, som Brudgom glædes ved Brud, så din Gud ved dig.
6 “On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.” O you remembering YHWH, do not keep silence for yourselves,
Jeg sætter Vægtere på dine Mure, Jerusalem; ingen Sinde bag eller Nat skal de tie. I, som minder HERREN, und jer ej Ro
7 And do not give silence to Him, Until He establishes, and until He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
og lad ham ikke i Ro, før han bygger Jerusalem, før han får gjort Jerusalem til Pris på Jorden.
8 YHWH has sworn by His right hand, Even by the arm of His strength: “I do not give your grain anymore [as] food for your enemies, Nor do sons of a stranger drink your new wine, For which you have labored.
HERREN svor ved sin højre, sin vældige Arm: Jeg giver ej mer dine Fjender dit Korn til Føde; Mosten, du sled for, skal Udlandets Sønner ej drikke;
9 For those gathering it eat it, and have praised YHWH, And those collecting it drink it in My holy courts.”
nej, de, der høster, skal spise prisende HERREN; de, der sanker, skal drikke i min hellige Forgård.
10 Pass on, pass on through the gates, Prepare the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign over the peoples.
Drag ud gennem Portene, drag ud, ban Folket Vej, byg Vej, byg Vej, sank alle Stenene af, rejs Banner over Folkeslagene!
11 Behold, YHWH has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation has come, Behold, His hire [is] with Him, And His wage before Him.”
Se, HERREN lader det høres til Jordens Ende: Sig til Zions Datter: "Se, din Frelse kommer, se, hans Løn er med ham, hans Vinding foran ham!"
12 And they have cried to them, “The People of the Holy One! The Redeemed of YHWH!” Indeed, to you is called, “The sought out one, a city not forsaken!”
De skal kaldes: det hellige Folk, HERRENs genløste, og du: den søgte, en By, som ej er forladt.
