< Isaiah 3 >

1 For look, the Lord YHWH of hosts takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
Thi se, Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, fratager Jerusalem og Juda støtte og Stav, hver Støtte af Brød og hver støtte af vand:
2 the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
Helt og Krigsmand, Dommer og Profet, Spaamand og Ældste,
3 the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
Halvhundredfører og Stormand, Raadsherre og Haandværksmester og den, der er kyndig i Trolddom.
4 And I will make youths to be their leaders, and capricious children shall rule over them.
Jeg giver dem Drenge til Øverster, Drengekaadhed skal herske over dem.
5 The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
I Folket undertrykker den ene den anden, hver sin Næste; Dreng sætter sig op imod Olding, Usling mod Hædersmand.
6 Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, "You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your control."
Naar da en Mand tager fat paa en anden i hans Fædrenehus og siger: »Du har en Kappe, du skal være vor Hersker, under dig skal dette faldefærdige Rige staa!«
7 In that day he will cry out, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.
saa svarer han paa hin Dag: »Jeg vil ikke være Saarlæge! Jeg har hverken Brød eller Klæder i Huset, gør ikke mig til Folkets Overhoved!«
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against YHWH, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
Thi Jerusalem snubler, og Juda falder, fordi de med Tunge og Gerning er mod HERREN i Trods mod hans Herligheds Øjne.
9 The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They do not hide it. Woe to their soul. For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
Deres Ansigtsudtryk vidner imod dem; de kundgør deres Synd som Sodoma, dølger intet. Ve deres Sjæl, de styrted sig selv i Vaade.
10 Tell the righteous "Good." For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
Salige de retfærdige, dem gaar det godt, deres Gerningers Frugt skal de nyde;
11 Woe to the wicked. Disaster is upon them; for the work of his hands will be done to him.
ve den gudløse, ham gaar det ilde; han faar, som hans Hænder har gjort.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
Mit Folk har en Dreng ved Styret, og over det hersker Kvinder. Dine Ledere, mit Folk, leder vild, gør Vejen, du vandrer, vildsom.
13 YHWH stands up to contend, and stands to judge his people.
Til Rettergang er HERREN traadt frem, han staar og vil dømme sit Folk.
14 YHWH will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and their leaders: "It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The spoil of the poor is in your houses.
HERREN møder til Doms med de Ældste i sit Folk og dets Fyrster: »Det er jer, som gnaved Vingaarden af, I har Rov fra den arme til Huse.
15 What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?" says YHWH of hosts.
Hvor kan I træde paa mit Folk og male de arme sønder?« saa lyder det fra Herren, Hærskarers HERRE.
16 Moreover YHWH said, "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking to trip as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
HERREN siger: Eftersom Zions Døtre bryster sig og gaar med knejsende Nakke og kælne Blikke, gaar med trippende Gang og med raslende Ankelkæder —
17 therefore YHWH brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and YHWH will make their scalps bald."
gør Herren Issen skaldet paa Zions Døtre og blotter deres Tindingers Lokker.
18 In that day YHWH will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
Paa hin Dag afriver Herren al deres Pynt: Ankelringe, Pandebaand, Halvmaaner,
19 the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
Perler, Armbaand, Flor,
20 the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume bottles, the charms,
Hovedsmykker, Ankelkæder, Bælter, Lugtedaaser, Trylleringe,
21 the signet rings, the nose rings,
Fingerringe, Næseringe,
22 the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
Festklæder, Underdragter, Sjaler, Tasker,
23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
Spejle, Lin, Hovedbaand og Slør.
24 It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
For Vellugt kommer der Stank, i Stedet for Bælte Reb, for Fletninger skaldet Isse, for Stadsklæder Sæk om Hofte, for Skønhedsmærke Brændemærke.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
Dine Mænd skal falde for Sværd, dit unge Mandskab i Strid.
26 Her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
Hendes Porte skal sukke og klage og hun sidde ensom paa Jorden.
