Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of YHWH is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and an opening of the eyes to the blind;
Deri Herre, Herres Aand er over mig, derfor har Herren salvet mig til at kundgøre et godt Budskab for de fattige, han sendte mig til at helbrede dem, som have et sønderknust Hjerte, til at udraabe for de fangne Frihed og for de bundne Løsladelse;
2 to proclaim the year of YHWH's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
til at udraabe Herrens Velbehageligheds Aar og vor Guds Hævns Dag; til at trøste alle sørgende;
3 to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of YHWH, that he may be glorified.
til at beskikke det for de sørgende i Zion, at der skal gives dem Hovedprydelse i Stedet for Aske, Glædens Olie i Stedet for Sorrig, Lovprisnings Klædebon i Stedet for en vansmægtet Aand, saa at de skulle kaldes Retfærdighedens Terebinter, Herrens Plantning, ham til Herlighed.
4 They shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
Og de skulle bygge de Stæder, som laa øde fra fordums Tid, og rejse, hvad der fra Fortiden af var ødelagt, og paa ny opføre de øde Stæder, som laa i Grus fra Slægt til Slægt.
5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
Og fremmede skulle staa og vogte eders Faar, og Udlændinge skulle være eders Avlsmænd og eders Vingaardsmænd.
6 But you shall be named the priests of YHWH; men will call you the ministers of our God: you will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their glory.
Men I skulle kaldes Herrens Præster, man skal kalde eder vor Guds Tjenere; I skulle æde Hedningernes Gods og indtræde i deres Herlighed.
7 Instead of your shame you shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to them.
I Stedet for eders Beskæmmelse skulle I have tvefold Ære, og i Stedet for Skændsel skal Jubel vorde eders Lod; derfor skulle I faa en dobbelt Arvelod i eders Land, I skulle have evig Glæde.
8 "For I, YHWH, love justice, and I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Thi jeg, Herren, elsker Ret og hader Uretfærdigheds Rov; og jeg vil trolig give dem deres Løn og gøre en evig Pagt med dem.
9 Their offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which YHWH has blessed."
Og man skal kende deres Sæd iblandt Hedningerne og deres Afkom midt iblandt Folkene, alle, som se dem, skulle kende dem, at de ere den Sæd, som Herren har velsignet.
10 I will greatly rejoice in YHWH, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Jeg vil glæde mig storlig i Herren, min Sjæl skal fryde sig i min Gud; thi han iførte mig Frelsens Klædebon, han klædte mig med Retfærdighedens Kappe; som en Brudgom, der sætter Hovedpynten paa, og som en Brud, der pryder sig med sit Smykke.
11 For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so YHWH will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Thi som Jorden, der giver sin Grøde, og som en Have, der lader sin Sæd opvokse, saaledes skal den Herre, Herre lade Retfærdighed og Lovsang opvokse i alle Hedningernes Paasyn.
