Isaiah 11
1 But there shall come forth a shoot from the stock of Jesse, —And, a sprout from his roots, shall bear fruit;
Og der skal opgaa et Skud af Isajs Stub, og en Kvist af hans Rødder skal bære Frugt.
2 And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest upon him, —The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge and reverence of Yahweh;
Og Herrens Aand skal hvile over ham, Visdoms og Forstands Aand, Raads og Styrkes Aand, Herrens Kundskabs og Frygts Aand.
3 So will he find fragrance, in the reverence of Yahweh, And not, by the sight of his eyes, will he judge, Nor by the hearing of his ears, will he decide;
Og hans Lyst skal være i Herrens Frygt, og han skal ikke dømme efter det, hans Øjne se, ej heller holde Ret efter det, hans Øren høre.
4 But he will judge with righteousness! them who are poor, And decide with equity! for the oppressed of the land, —And he will smite the land With the sceptre of his mouth, And with the breath of his lips, will he slay the lawless one;
Men han skal dømme de ringe med Retfærdighed og holde Ret for de lidende i Landet med Oprigtighed; og han skal slaa Jorden med sin Munds Ris og dræbe den ugudelige med sine Læbers Aande.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, —And faithfulness the girdle of his reins;
Og Retfærdighed skal være hans Lænders Bælte og Trofasthed hans Hofters Bælte.
6 And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, And, the leopard, with the kid, shall lie down, —And the calf and the young lion and the fatling—together, With, a little child, leading them;
Og Ulven skal gaa hos Lammet og Parderen ligge hos Kiddet; Kalven og Løven og Fedekvæget skulle være sammen, og en liden Dreng skal drive dem.
7 And the cow, with the bear shall find pasture, Together, shall their young ones, lie down, —And, the lion, like the ox, shall eat straw;
Og Koen og Bjørnen skulle græsse sammen, deres Unger skulle ligge hos hinanden; og Løven skal æde Straa som Oksen.
8 And the sucking child shall caress over the hole of the asp, Yea over the viper’s den, hath the weaned child stretched out his hand:
Og det diende Barn skal lege ved Øglens Hul og det afvante Barn stikke sin Haand til Basiliskens Hule.
9 They shall not hurt—nor destroy, in all my holy mountain, —For filled is the land with the knowledge of Yahweh, As the waters, to the sea, form a covering.
De skulle ej gøre noget ondt og ej noget fordærveligt paa hele mit hellige Bjerg; thi Jorden er fuld af Herrens Kundskab, ligesom Vandet skjuler Havets Bund.
10 And there shall come to be, in that day, A root of Jesse, which shall be standing as an ensign of peoples, Unto him, shall nations seek, —And, his resting-place, shall be, glorious.
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at Hedningerne skulle spørge efter Isajs Rod, der staar som et Banner for Folkene; og hans Hvilested skal være Herlighed.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, That My Lord will again a second time set his hand, to possess himself of the remnant of his people, —who shall be left—from Assyria and from Egypt and from Pathros and from Ethiopia and from Elam and from Shinar and from Hamath and from the Coastlands of the sea;
Og det skal ske paa den Dag, at Herren atter, anden Gang, skal udstrække sin Haand til at forhverve sig det overblevne af sit Folk, som skal blive tilovers fra Assyrien og fra Ægypten og fra Pathros og fra Morland og fra Elam og fra Sinear og fra Hamath og fra Øerne i Havet.
12 And he will lift up a standard to the nations, And will gather the outcasts of Israel, —And the dispersed of Judah, will he collect, From the four corners of the earth.
Og han skal opløfte et Banner for Hedningerne og sanke Israels fordrevne og samle Judas adspredte fra Jordens fire Hjørner.
13 And the envy of Ephraim shall be removed, And the vexatious doings of Judah, shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah, shall not vex Ephraim;
Og Efraims Misundelse skal vige, og Judas Fjender skulle udryddes; Efraim skal ikke være misundelig paa Juda, og Juda skal ikke trænge Efraim.
14 But they shall fly on the wing of the Philistines in the west, Together, shall they make prey of the sons of the east, —On Edom and Moab, putting forth their hand, With the sons of Ammon hearkening unto them.
Men de skulle flyve ind paa Filisternes Skuldre imod Vesten, de skulle i Forening røve fra dem, som bo imod Østen; Edom og Moab skulle blive et Bytte for deres Haand, og Ammons Børn skulle bevise dem Lydighed.
15 And Yahweh, will devote to destruction, the gulf of the Egyptian sea, And will brandish his hand against the River ["Euphrates"], in the full force of his spirit, —And will smite it in the seven streams And cause a marching through in sandals,
Og Herren skal sætte Vigen af Ægyptens Hav i Band og bevæge sin Haand over Floden med sit stærke Vejr; og han skal slaa den i syv Bække og lade den betrædes med Sko.
16 So shall there be a highway for the remnant of his people who shall be left out of Assyria, —Like as it was to Israel, in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt!
Og der skal være en banet Vej for de overblevne af hans Folk, som skulle blive tilovers fra Assyrien, ligesom der var for Israel, den Dag det drog op af Ægyptens Land.
