Isaiah 63
1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save."
Hvo er denne, som kommer fra Edom, i højrøde Klæder fra Bozra, han, som er saa prægtig i sit Klædebon, han, som skrider frem i sin store Kraft? Det er mig, som taler Retfærdighed, mig, som er mægtig til at frelse!
2 Why are you red in your clothing, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
Hvorfor er der rødt paa dit Klædebon og dine Klæder som dens, der træder Vinpersen?
3 "I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yes, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.
Jeg traadte Persekarret, jeg alene, og der var intet af Folkene med mig; saa traadte jeg dem i min Vrede og stampede dem ned i min Harme; da sprudlede deres Blod op paa mine Klæder, og jeg fik alle mine Klæder besudlede.
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
Thi Hævnens Dag var besluttet i mit Hjerte, og mit Genløsningsaar var kommet.
5 I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my wrath, it upheld me.
Og jeg saa mig om, og der var ingen Hjælper, og jeg undrede mig over, at der ingen var, som holdt med mig; men min Arm hjalp mig, og min Harme stod mig bi.
6 I trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth."
Og jeg nedtraadte Folkene i min Vrede og gjorde dem drukne i min Harme og lod deres Blod rinde til Jorden.
7 I will make mention of the loving kindnesses of YHWH and the praises of YHWH, according to all that YHWH has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
Jeg vil forkynde Herrens Miskundhed, Herrens Pris, efter alt det, som Herren har gjort imod os, ja, den megen Godhed imod Israels Hus, som han gjorde imod dem, efter sin Barmhjertighed og efter sin store Miskundhed.
8 For he said, "Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely:" so he was their Savior.
Og han sagde: Kun de ere mit Folk, de ere Børn, som ikke ville handle falskelig; og han blev dem en Frelser.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
I al deres Trængsel var der ikke Trængsel, men hans Ansigts Engel frelste dem; han genløste dem for sin Kærligheds og for sin Overbærelses Skyld, og han lagde dem paa sig og bar dem igennem alle Fortidens Dage.
10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he himself fought against them.
Men de, de vare genstridige og bedrøvede hans Helligaand; derfor omskiftede han sig til deres Modstander, han stred imod dem.
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Spirit in their midst?
Da ihukom hans Folk de gamle Dage under Mose: Hvor er han, som opførte dem af Havet tillige med sin Hjords Hyrde? hvor er han, som gav sin Helligaand midt iblandt dem?
12 who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
han, som lod sin Herligheds Arm føre Moses højre Haand, han, som kløvede Vandene for deres Ansigt for at gøre sig et evigt Navn?
13 who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble?
han, som førte dem igennem Afgrundene som en Hest igennem Ørken, saa at de ikke stødte sig?
14 As the livestock that go down into the valley, the Spirit of YHWH caused them to rest; so you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.
Ligesom Kvæget gaar ned i Dalen, har Herrens Aand ladet dem komme til Hvile; saaledes førte du dit Folk for at gøre dig et herligt Navn.
15 Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where are your zeal and your mighty acts? the yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.
Sku ned fra Himlene, og se til fra din Helligheds og Herligheds Bolig! hvor er din Nidkærhed og din Vælde, din dybe Medlidenhed og din Barmhjertighed, der holder sig tilbage fra mig?
16 For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn't know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us: you, YHWH, are our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
Thi du er vor Fader; thi Abraham ved intet af os, og Israel kender os ikke; men du, Herre! er vor Fader, vor Genløser, fra Evighed af er dit Navn.
17 YHWH, why do you make us to stray from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
Herre! hvorfor lader du os fare vild fra dine Veje? hvorfor lader du vort Hjerte blive haardt, at det ikke frygter dig? vend om for dine Tjeneres Skyld, for din Arvs Stammers Skyld!
18 Your holy people possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
En liden Tid har dit hellige Folk ejet Landet; men vore Modstandere have nedtraadt din Helligdom.
19 We have become as they over whom you never bear rule, as those who were not called by your name.
Vi ere, som om du ikke havde regeret over os fra gammel Tid, og som om vi ikke vare kaldede efter dit Navn;
