Isaiah 8
1 YHWH said to me, "Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man's pen, 'For Maher Shalal Hash Baz;'
Og HERREN sagde til mig: »Tag dig en stor Tavle og skriv derpaa med Menneskeskrift: Hurtigt-Bytte, Hastigt-Rov!
2 and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Berechiah."
Og tag mig paalidelige Vidner, Præsten Urija og Zekarja, Jeberekjahus Søn!«
3 I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said YHWH to me, "Call his name 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
Og jeg nærmede mig Profetinden, og hun blev frugtsommelig og fødte en Søn. Saa sagde HERREN til mig: »Kald ham Hurtigt-Bytte, Hastigt-Rov!
4 For before the child knows how to say, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria."
Thi før Drengen kan sige Fader og Moder, skal Rigdommene fra Damaskus og Byttet fra Samaria bringes til Assyrerkongen!«
5 YHWH spoke to me yet again, saying,
Fremdeles sagde HERREN til mig:
6 "Because this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
Eftersom dette Folk lader haant om Siloas sagte rindende Vande i Angst for Rezin og Remaljas Søn,
7 now therefore, look, YHWH brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
se, saa lader Herren Flodens Vande, de vældige, store, oversvømme dem, Assyrerkongen og al hans Herlighed; over alle sine Bredder skal den gaa, trænge ud over alle sine Diger,
8 It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through; it will reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.
styrte ind i Juda, skylle over, vælte frem og naa til Halsen; og dens udbredte Vinger skal fylde dit Land, saa vidt det naar — Immanuel!
9 Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces. Listen, all you from far countries. Prepare for battle, and be shattered.
I Folkeslag, mærk jer det med Rædsel, lyt til, alle fjerne Lande: Rust jer, I skal ræddes, rust jer, I skal ræddes.
10 Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand: for God is with us."
Læg Raad op, det skal dog briste, gør Aftale, det slaar dog fejl, thi — Immanuel!
11 For YHWH spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
Thi saa sagde HERREN til mig, da hans Haand greb mig med Vælde, og han advarede mig mod at vandre paa dette Folks Vej:
12 "Do not say, 'A conspiracy.' concerning all about which this people say, 'A conspiracy.' And do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread.
Kald ikke alt Sammensværgelse, hvad dette Folk kalder Sammensværgelse, frygt ikke, hvad det frygter, og ræddes ikke!
13 YHWH of hosts is who you must regard as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
Hærskarers HERRE, ham skal I holde hellig, han skal være eders Frygt, han skal være eders Rædsel.
14 And he will be a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock that makes them fall to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Han bliver en Helligdom, en Anstødssten og en Klippe til Fald for begge Israels Huse og en Snare og et Fangegarn for Jerusalems Indbyggere,
15 Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured."
og mange iblandt dem skal snuble, falde og kvæstes, fanges og hildes.
16 Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.
Bind Vidnesbyrdet til og sæt Segl for Læren i mine Disciples Sind!
17 I will wait for YHWH, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will trust in him.
Jeg bier paa HERREN, han, som dølger sit Aasyn for Jakobs Hus, til ham staar mit Haab:
18 Look, here I am, and the children God has given me as signs and wonders in Israel from YHWH of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
Se, jeg og de Børn, HERREN gav mig, er Varsler og Tegn i Israel fra Hærskarers HERRE, som bor paa Zions Bjerg.
19 When they tell you, "Consult with the spirits of the dead and familiar spirits who chirp and who mutter. Shouldn't a people consult with their gods, by consulting the dead on behalf of the living?"
Og siger de til eder: »Søg Genfærdene og Aanderne, som hvisker og mumler!« — skal et Folk ikke søge sin Gud, skal man søge de døde for de levende?
20 Turn to the law and to the testimony. If they do not speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
Nej! Til Læren og Vidnesbyrdet! Saaledes skal visselig de komme til at tale, som nu er uden Morgenrøde.
21 They will pass through it, greatly distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,
Han skal vanke om i Landet, trykket og hungrig. Og naar han hungrer, skal han blive rasende og bande sin Konge og sin Gud. Vender han sig til det høje,
22 and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
eller skuer han ud over Jorden, se, da er der Trængsel og Mørke, knugende Mulm; i Bælgmørke er han stødt ud.
