< Isaiah 66 >
1 Thus said YHWH: “The heavens [are] My throne, And the earth My footstool, Where [is] this—the house that you build for Me? And where [is] this—the place—My rest?
Saa siger HERREN: Himlen er min Trone og Jorden mine Fødders Skammel. Hvad for et Hus vil I bygge mig, og hvad for et Sted er min Bolig?
2 And My hand has made all these, And all these things are,” A declaration of YHWH! “And to this one I look attentively, To the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.
Alt dette skabte min Haand, saa det fremkom, lyder det fra HERREN. Jeg ser hen til den arme, til den, som har en sønderknust Aand, og den, som bæver for mit Ord.
3 Whoever slaughters the ox strikes a man, Whoever sacrifices the lamb beheads a dog, Whoever is bringing up a present—The blood of a sow, Whoever is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Indeed, they have fixed on their own ways, And their soul has delighted in their abominations.
Den, som slagter Okse, er en Manddraber, den, som ofrer Lam, er en Hundemorder, den, som ofrer Afgrøde, frembærer Svineblod, den, som brænder Røgelse, hylder en Afgud. Som de valgte deres egne Veje og ynder deres væmmelige Guder,
4 I also—I fix on their distress, And I bring in their fears to them, Because I have called, and there is none answering, I spoke, and they have not listened, And they do evil in My eyes, And on that which I did not desire—fixed.”
saa vælger og jeg deres Smerte, bringer over dem, hvad de frygter, fordi de ej svared, da jeg kaldte, ej hørte, endskønt jeg taled, men gjorde, hvad der vakte mit Mishag, valgte, hvad ej var min Vilje.
5 Hear a word of YHWH, You who are trembling at His word: “Your brothers who are hating you, Who are driving you out for My Name’s sake, have said, YHWH is honored, and we look on your joy, But they are ashamed.”
Hør HERRENS Ord, I, som bæver for hans Ord: Saaledes siger eders Brødre, der hader eder og støder eder bort for mit Navns Skyld: »Lad HERREN vise sig i sin Herlighed, saa vi kan se eders Glæde!« Men de skal blive til Skamme!
6 A voice of noise from the city, A voice from the temple, The voice of YHWH, Giving repayment to His enemies.
Hør, hvor det drøner fra Byen, drøner fra Templet, hør, hvor HERREN øver Gengæld imod sine Fjender!
7 “Before she is pained she has brought forth, Before a pang comes to her, She has delivered a male.
Før hun er i Barnsnød, føder hun, førend Veer kommer over hende, har hun en Dreng.
8 Who has heard anything like this? Who has seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Is a nation born at once? For she has been pained, Zion has also borne her sons.
Hvo hørte vel Mage dertil, hvo saa vel sligt? Kommer et Land til Verden paa en eneste Dag, fødes et Folk paa et Øjeblik? Thi Zion kom i Barnsnød og fødte med det samme sine Børn.
9 Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?” says YHWH, “Am I not He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained,” said your God.
Aabner jeg et Moderliv og hindrer det i Fødsel? siger HERREN. Bringer jeg Fødsel og standser den? siger din Gud.
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all you loving her, Rejoice with her for joy, All you who are mourning for her,
Glæd dig, Jerusalem! Der juble enhver, som har det kær, tag Del i dets Glæde, alle, som sørger over det,
11 So that you suckle, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that you wring out, and have delighted yourselves From the abundance of her glory.”
for at I maa die dets husvalende Barm og mættes, for at I maa drikke af dets fulde Bryst og kvæges.
12 For thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And the glory of nations as an overflowing stream, And you have sucked, You are carried on the side, And you are dandled on the knees.
Thi saa siger HERREN: Se, jeg leder til hende Fred som en svulmende Flod og Folkenes Rigdom som en Strøm; hendes spæde skal bæres paa Hofte, og Kærtegn faar de paa Skød;
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so do I comfort you, Indeed, you are comforted in Jerusalem.”
som en Moder trøster sin Søn, saaledes trøster jeg eder, i Jerusalem finder I Trøst.
14 And you have seen, and your heart has rejoiced, And your bones flourish as tender grass, And the hand of YHWH has been known to His servants, And He has been indignant with His enemies.
I skal se det med Hjertens Glæde, eders Ledemod skal spire som Græs. Hos HERRENS Tjenere kendes hans Haand, men hos hans Fjender Vrede.
15 For behold, YHWH comes in fire, And His chariots as a windstorm, To refresh His anger in fury, And His rebuke in flames of fire.
Thi se, som Ild kommer HERREN, og hans Vogne er som et Stormvejr, han vil vise sin Harme i Gløder, sin Trusel i flammende Luer;
16 For by fire and by His sword, YHWH does judgment with all flesh. And many have been YHWH’s pierced ones.
thi med Ild og med sit Sværd skal HERREN dømme alt Kød, og mange er HERRENS slagne.
17 “Those sanctifying and cleansing themselves [to go] to the gardens, One after another in the midst, Eating flesh of the sow, And of the abomination, and of the muroid, Are consumed together,” A declaration of YHWH.
De, som helliger og vier sig for Lundene, følgende en i deres Midte, de, som æder Svinekød og Kød af Kryb og Mus, deres Gerninger og deres Tanker skal forgaa til Hobe, lyder det fra HERREN.
18 “And I—their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My glory.
Jeg kommer for at samle alle Folk og Tungemaal, og de skal komme og se min Herlighed.
19 And I have set a sign among them, And have sent out of them those escaping to the nations (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the islands that are far off), Who have not heard My fame, nor seen My glory, And they have declared My glory among nations.
Jeg fuldbyrder et Under iblandt dem og sender undslupne af dem til Folkene, Tarsis, Pul, Lud, Mesjek, Rosj, Tubal, Javan, de fjerne Strande, som ikke har hørt mit Ry eller set min Herlighed; og de skal forkynde min Herlighed blandt Folkene.
20 And they have brought all your brothers out of all the nations, A present to YHWH, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, To My holy mountain Jerusalem,” said YHWH, “As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of YHWH.
Og de skal bringe alle eders Brødre fra alle Folk som Gave til HERREN, til Hest, til Vogns, i Bærestol, paa Muldyr og Kameler til mit hellige Bjerg Jerusalem, siger HERREN, som naar Israeliterne bringer Offergaver i rene Kar til HERRENS Hus.
21 And I also take of them for priests, For Levites,” said YHWH.
Ogsaa af dem vil jeg udtage Levitpræster, siger HERREN.
22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making, Are standing before Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “So your seed and your name remain.
Thi ligesom de nye Himle og den ny Jord, som jeg skaber, skal bestaa for mit Aasyn, lyder det fra HERREN, saaledes skal eders Afkom og Navn bestaa.
23 And it has been from month to month, And from Sabbath to Sabbath, All flesh come to bow themselves before Me,” said YHWH.
Hver Maaned paa Nymaanedagen og hver Uge paa Sabbatten skal alt Kød komme og tilbede for mit Aasyn, siger HERREN,
24 “And they have gone forth, And looked on the carcasses of the men Who are transgressing against Me, For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched, And they have been an abhorrence to all flesh!”
og man gaar ud for at se paa Ligene af de Mænd, der faldt fra mig; thi deres Orm dør ikke, og deres Ild slukkes ikke; de er alt Kød en Gru.
