Isaiah 61
1 The spirit of My Lord Yahweh, is upon me, —Because Yahweh Hath anointed me to tell good tidings to the oppressed, Hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, To proclaim To captives, liberty, To them who are bound, the opening of the prison;
Den Herre HERRENs Ånd er over mig, fordi han salvede mig; han sendte mig med Glædesbud til ydmyge, med Lægedom for sønderbrudte Hjerter, for at udråbe Frihed for Fanger og Udgang for dem, som er bundet,
2 To proclaim—The year of acceptance of Yahweh, and The day of avenging of our God: To comfort all who are mourning;
udråbe et Nådeår fra HERREN, en Hævnens Dag fra vor Gud, for at trøste alle, som sørger,
3 To appoint unto the mourners of Zion—To give unto them A chaplet instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of the spirit of dejection, —So shall they be called The oaks of righteousness, The plantation of Yahweh: That he may get himself glory
give dem, som sørger i Zion, Højtidspragt for Sørgedragt, for Sørgeklædning Glædens Olie; Lovsang for modløst Sind. Man kalder dem Retfærds Ege, HERRENs Plantning til hans Ære.
4 Then shall they build the wastes of a bygone age, The desolations of former times, shall they raise up, —And they shall build anew—The cities laid waste, The desolations of generation after generation.
De skal bygge på ældgamle Tomter, rejse Fortidsruiner, genopbygge nedbrudte Byer, der fra Slægt til Slægt lå i Grus.
5 Then shall strangers stay and feed your flocks, —And, the sons of the foreigner, shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
Fremmede skal stå og vogte eders Småkvæg, Udlændinge slide på Mark og i Vingård.
6 But, ye, the priests of Yahweh, shall be called, The attendants of our God, shall ye be named, —The riches of the nations, shall ye eat, And in their glory, shall ye boast yourselves.
Men I skal kaldes HERRENs Præster, vor Guds Tjenere være eders Navn. Af Folkenes Gods skal I leve, deres Herlighed får I til Eje.
7 Instead of your shame, —double! and Instead of disgrace, they shall shout in triumph over their portion, —Therefore in their own land, shall they possess double, Joy age-abiding, shall be theirs.
Fordi de fik tvefold Skændsel, og Spot og Spyt var deres Lod, får de tvefold Arv i deres Land, dem tilfalder evig Glæde;
8 For, I, Yahweh, am a lover of justice, Hating plunder, for an ascending-sacrifice, Therefore will I give their reward with faithfulness, And an age-abiding covenant, will I solemnise for them.
thi jeg elsker Ret, jeg, HERREN, jeg hader forbryderisk Rov. Jeg giver dem Løn i Trofasthed og slutter med dem en evig Pagt.
9 Then shall be known among the nations, their seed, And, their offspring, in the midst of the peoples, —All who see them, shall acknowledge them, That, they, are the seed that Yahweh hath blessed.
Deres Æt skal kendes blandt Folkene, deres Afkom ude blandt Folkeslag; alle, der ser dem, skal kende dem som Slægten, HERREN velsigner.
10 I will, greatly rejoice, in Yahweh, My soul shall exult in my God, For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness, hath he enwrapt me, —As a bridegroom, adorneth himself with, a chaplet, And as a bride, bedecketh herself with, her jewels.
Jeg vil glæde mig højlig i HERREN, min Sjæl skal juble i min Gud; thi han klædte mig i Frelsens Klæder, hylled mig i Retfærds Kappe, som en Brudgom, der binder sit Hovedbind, som Bruden, der fæster sine Smykker.
11 For as the earth, bringeth forth her bud, And as, a garden, causeth her seeds, to shoot forth, So, My Lord, Yahweh, will cause to shoot forth Righteousness and praise before all the nations.
Thi som Spiren gror af Jorden, som Sæd spirer frem i en Have, så lader den Herre HERREN Retfærd gro og Lovsang for al Folkenes Øjne.
