Isaiah 27
1 In that day, will Yahweh With his sword—the hard and the great and the strong, Bring punishment Upon Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, And upon Leviathan, the crooked serpent, —And will slay the monster which is in the sea.
På hin Dag hjemsøger HERREN med sit hårde, vældige, stærke Sværd Livjatan, Den flugtsnare Slange, og ihjelslår Dragen i Havet.
2 In that day, A Wine-Vineyard! sing ye unto her:
På hin Dag skal man sige: Syng om en liflig Vingård!
3 I—Yahweh, am Watching over her, Every moment, will I water her, —Lest anyone injure her, Night and day, will I watch over her.
Jeg, HERREN, jeg er dens Vogter, jeg vander den atter og atter. For at ingen skal hjemsøge den, vogter jeg den Nat og Dag.
4 Fury, have I none, —Oh that there were delivered to me briars and thorns, in battle! I would march in among them I would set fire to them one and all.
Vrede nærer jeg ikke. Fandt jeg kun Torn og Tidsel, gik jeg løs derpå i Kamp og satte det alt i Brand
5 Else, let one lay hold of my protection, Let him make peace with me, —Peace, let him make with me.
med mindre man tyr til mit Værn, slutter Fred med mig, slutter Fred med mig.
6 In coming times, shall Jacob strike root, Israel, shall blossom and bud, —Then shall they fill the face of the world with fruit.
På hin Dag skal Jakob slå Rod, Israel skyde og blomstre og fylde Verden med Frugt.
7 Was it, with the smiting of his smiter, that he smote him? Or as with the slaying of his slayer, was he slain?
Har han vel slået det, som de, der slog det, blev slagne, eller blev det myrdet, som deres Mordere myrdedes?
8 By driving her away—by dismissing her, wouldest thou contend with her? He removed her by his rough wind in, a day of east wind.
Ved at støde det bort og sende det bort trættede han med det; han jog det bort med sin voldsomme Ånde på Østenstormens Dag.
9 Therefore hereby, shall a propitiatory—covering be put over the iniquity of Jacob, And all, this, is the fruit of taking away his sin, —When he maketh all the stones of an altar like chalk-stones that soon crumble, Sacred Stems and Sun Images, shall not arise.
Derfor sones Jakobs Brøde således, og dette er al Frugten af, at hans Synd tages bort: at han gør alle Altersten til sønderhuggede Kalksten, at Asjerastøtterne og Solstøtterne ikke mere rejser sig.
10 For the fortified city, is solitary, The dwelling forsaken and left as a wilderness, —There, shall the calf feed, And, there, lie down And shall consume the branches thereof:
Thi den faste Stad ligger ensom, et folketomt Sted, forladt som en Ørken. Der græsser Ungkvæget, der lejrer det sig og afgnaver Kvistene.
11 When the cut-off boughs thereof are dry, they shall be broken to pieces, Women, coming, are kindling it! For it is not a people of understanding, For this cause, Will he that made him, not have compassion upon him, And, he that formed him, will shew him no favour.
Når Grenene er tørre, kommer Kvinderne og bryder dem af for at tænde Bål. Thi det er et Folk uden Indsigt; derfor kan dets Skaber ikke forbarme sig, dets Ophav ikke være det nådig.
12 And it shall come to pass, in that day, That Yahweh will beat off his fruit from the stream of the River ["Euphrates"], unto the torrent-valley of Egypt, —And, ye, shall be picked up, one by one O sons of Israel.
På hin Dag slår HERREN Frugten ned fra Flodens Strøm til Ægyptens Bæk, og I skal opsankes een for een, Israels Børn.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, That there shall be a blowing with a great horn, Then shall come in Such as have wandered in the land of Assyria, And such as have been outcasts in the land of Egypt, —And they shall bow themselves down unto Yahweh In the holy mountain, In Jerusalem.
På hin Dag skal der stødes i det store Horn, og de tabte i Assyrien og de bortdrevne i Ægypten skal komme og tilbede HERREN på det hellige Bjerg i Jerusalem.
