Isaiah 37
1 And it was when heard the king Hezekiah and he tore clothes his and he covered himself with sackcloth and he went [the] house of Yahweh.
Da Kong Ezekias hørte det, sønderrev han sine Klæder, hyllede sig i Sæk og gik ind i HERRENS Hus.
2 And he sent Eliakim who [was] over the house and - Shebna the scribe and [the] elders of the priests covered with sackcloth to Isaiah [the] son of Amoz the prophet.
Og han sendte Paladsøversten Eljakim og Statsskriveren Sjebna og Præsternes Ældste, hyllet i Sæk, til Profeten Esajas, Amoz's Søn,
3 And they said to him thus he says Hezekiah [is] a day of distress and rebuke and insult the day this for they have come children to birth and [is] strength there not for giving birth.
for at sige til ham: »Ezekias lader sige: En Nødens, Tugtelsens og Forsmædelsens Dag er denne Dag, thi Barnet er ved at fødes, men der er ikke Kraft til at bringe det til Verden!
4 Perhaps he will hear Yahweh God your - [the] words of [the] chief commander whom he has sent him [the] king of Assyria - master his to taunt [the] God living and he will rebuke the words which he has heard Yahweh God your and you will lift up prayer for the remnant which is found.
Dog vil HERREN din Gud maaske høre, hvad Rabsjake har sagt, han, som er sendt af sin Herre, Assyrerkongen, for at haane den levende Gud, og maaske vil han straffe ham for de Ord, som HERREN din Gud har hørt — gaa derfor i Forbøn for den Rest, der endnu er tilbage!«
5 And they came [the] servants of the king Hezekiah to Isaiah.
Da Kong Ezekias's Folk kom til Esajas,
6 And he said to them Isaiah thus you will say! to master your thus - he says Yahweh may not you be afraid of the words which you have heard which they have blasphemed [the] servants of [the] king of Assyria me.
sagde han til dem: »Saaledes skal I svare eders Herre: Saa siger HERREN: Frygt ikke for de Ord, du har hørt, som Assyrerkongens Trælle har haanet mig med!
7 Here I [am] about to put in him a spirit and he will hear a report and he will return to own land his and I will make fall him by the sword in own land his.
Se, jeg vil indgive ham en Aand, og han skal faa en Tidende at høre, saa han vender tilbage til sit Land, og i hans eget Land vil jeg fælde ham med Sværdet!«
8 And he returned [the] chief commander and he found [the] king of Assyria fighting on Libnah if he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
Rabsjake vendte saa tilbage og traf Assyrerkongen i Færd med at belejre Libna, thi han havde hørt, at Kongen var brudt op fra Lakisj.
9 And he heard on Tirhakah [the] king of Cush saying he has come out to do battle with you and he heard and he sent messengers to Hezekiah saying.
Saa fik han Underretning om, at Kong Tirhaka af Ætiopien var rykket ud for at angribe ham, og han sendte Sendebud til Ezekias og sagde:
10 Thus you will say! to Hezekiah [the] king of Judah saying may not he deceive you God your whom you [are] trusting in him saying not it will be given Jerusalem in [the] hand of [the] king of Assyria.
»Saaledes skal I sige til Kong Ezekias af Juda: Lad ikke din Gud, som du slaar din Lid til, vildlede dig med at sige, at Jerusalem ikke skal gives i Assyrerkongens Haand!
11 Here! - you you have heard [that] which they have done [the] kings of Assyria to all the lands by totally destroying them and you will you be delivered?
Du har jo dog hørt, hvad Assyrerkongerne har gjort ved alle Lande, hvorledes de har lagt Band paa dem — og du skulde kunne undslippe!
12 ¿ Did they deliver them [the] gods of the nations which they destroyed ancestors my Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and [the] people of Eden who [were] in Telassar.
De Folk, mine Fædre tilintetgjorde, Gozan, Karan, Rezef og Folkene fra Eden i Telassar, har deres Guder kunnet frelse dem?
13 Where? [is] [the] king of Hamath and [the] king of Arpad and [the] king of Lair Sepharvaim Hena and Ivvah.
Hvor er Kongen af Hamat, Kongen af Arpad eller Kongen af La'ir, Sefarvajim, Hena og Ivva?«
14 And he took Hezekiah the letters from [the] hand of the messengers and he read it and he went up [the] house of Yahweh and he spread out it Hezekiah before Yahweh.
Da Ezekias havde modtaget Brevet af Sendebudenes Haand og læst det, gik han op i HERRENS Hus og bredte det ud for HERRENS Aasyn.
15 And he prayed Hezekiah to Yahweh saying.
Derpaa bad Ezekias den Bøn for HERRENS Aasyn:
16 O Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel [who] sits the cherubim you he [are] God to alone you of all [the] kingdoms of the earth you you have made the heavens and the earth.
»Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud, du, som troner over Keruberne, du alene er Gud over alle Jordens Riger; du har gjort Himmelen og Jorden!
17 Incline O Yahweh - ear your and hear open O Yahweh eyes your and see and hear all [the] words of Sennacherib which he has sent to taunt [the] God living.
Bøj nu dit Øre, HERRE, og lyt, aabn dine Øjne, HERRE, og se! Læg Mærke til alle de Ord, Sankerib har sendt hid for at spotte den levende Gud!
18 Truly O Yahweh they have made desolate [the] kings of Assyria all the lands and land their.
Det er sandt, HERRE, at Assyrerkongerne har tilintetgjort alle de Folk og deres Lande
19 And they have put gods their in the fire for not [were] gods they that except [the] work of [the] hands of a person wood and stone and they destroyed them.
og kastet deres Guder i Ilden; men de er ikke Guder, kun Menneskehænders Værk af Træ eller Sten; derfor kunde de ødelægge dem.
20 And now O Yahweh God our save us from hand his so they may know all [the] kingdoms of the earth that you [are] Yahweh to alone you.
Men frels os nu, HERRE vor Gud, af hans Haand, saa alle Jordens Riger kan kende, at du, HERRE, alene er Gud!«
21 And he sent Isaiah [the] son of Amoz to Hezekiah saying thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel that you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib [the] king of Assyria.
Saa sendte Esajas, Amoz's Søn, Bud til Ezekias og lod sige: »Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Din Bøn angaaende Assyrerkongen Sankerib har jeg hørt!«
22 This [is] the word which he has spoken Yahweh on him she has despised you she has mocked you [the] virgin of [the] daughter of Zion behind you a head she has shaken [the] daughter of Jerusalem.
Saaledes lyder det Ord, HERREN talede imod ham: Hun haaner, hun spotter dig, Jomfruen, Zions Datter, Jerusalems Datter ryster paa Hovedet ad dig!
23 Whom? have you taunted and have you blasphemed? and on whom? have you raised a voice and have you lifted up? height eyes your against [the] holy [one] of Israel.
Hvem har du haanet og smædet, mod hvem har du løftet din Røst? Til Israels Hellige løfted i Hovmod du Blikket!
24 By [the] hand of servants your you have taunted - [the] Lord and you have said with [the] abundance of chariotry my I I have gone up [the] height[s] of mountains [the] remotest parts of Lebanon so I may cut down [the] height of cedars its [the] choicest of pines its so I may come [to the] height of end its [the] forest of orchard its.
Ved dine Trælle haaned du HERREN og sagde: »Med mine talløse Vogne besteg jeg Bjergenes Højder, Libanons afsides Egne; jeg fælded dets Cedres Højskov, dets ædle Cypresser, trængte frem til dets øverste Raststed, dets Havers Skove.
25 I I have dug and I have drunk water so I may dry up with [the] sole of feet my all [the] canals of Egypt.
Fremmed Vand grov jeg ud, og jeg drak det, tørskoet skred jeg over Ægyptens Strømme!«
26 ¿ Not have you heard from distant [time] it I appointed from days of antiquity and I planned it now I have brought it and you are [about] to make desolate heaps ruined cities fortified.
Har du ej hørt det? For længst kom det op i min Tanke, jeg lagde det fordum til Rette, nu lod jeg det ske, og du Gjorde murstærke Byer til øde Stenhobe,
27 And inhabitants their [were] short of hand they were dismayed and they were ashamed they were [the] vegetation of [the] field and [the] greenery of vegetation grass of roofs and a field before standing grain.
mens Folkene grebes i Afmagt af Skræk og Skam, blev som Græsset paa Marken, det spirende Grønne, som Græs paa Tage, som Mark for Østenvinden.
28 And sitting down your and going out you and coming in you I know and raging you against me.
Jeg ser, naar du rejser og sætter dig, ved, naar du gaar og kommer.
29 Because raging you against me and arrogance your it has come up in ears my and I will put hook my in nose your and bridle my on lips your and I will turn back you by the way which you came by it.
Fordi du raser imod mig, din Trods har naaet mit Øre, lægger jeg Ring i din Næse og Bidsel i Munden og fører dig bort ad Vejen, du kom!
30 And this for you [will be] the sign you will eat this year self-sown grain and in the year second self-seeded plant[s] and in the year third sow and reap and plant vineyards (and eat *Q(K)*) fruit their.
Og dette skal være dig Tegnet: I Aar skal man spise, hvad der saaed sig selv, og Aaret derpaa, hvad der skyder af Rode, tredje Aar skal man saa og høste, plante Vin og nyde dens Frugt.
31 And it will add [the] escaped remnant of [the] house of Judah which remains a root downwards and it will produce fruit upwards.
Den bjærgede Rest af Judas Hus slaar atter Rødder forneden og bærer sin Frugt foroven;
32 For from Jerusalem it will go out a remnant and an escaped remnant from [the] mountain of Zion [the] zeal of Yahweh of hosts it will accomplish this.
thi fra Jerusalem udgaar en Rest, en Levning fra Zions Bjerg. Hærskarers HERRES Nidkærhed virker dette.
33 Therefore thus he says Yahweh concerning [the] king of Assyria not he will come into the city this and not he will shoot there an arrow and not he will confront it a shield and not he will pour out on it a mound.
Derfor, saa siger HERREN om Assyrerkongen: I Byen her skal han ej komme ind, ej sende en Pil herind, ej nærme sig den med Skjolde eller opkaste Vold imod den;
34 By the way which he came by it he will return and into the city this not he will come [the] utterance of Yahweh.
ad Vejen, han kom, skal han gaa igen, i Byen her skal han ej komme ind — saa lyder det fra HERREN.
35 And I will defend the city this to deliver it for own sake my and for [the] sake of David servant my.
Jeg værner og frelser denne By for min og min Tjener Davids Skyld!
36 And he went out - [the] angel of Yahweh and he struck down in [the] camp of Assyria one hundred and eighty and five thousand and they rose early in the morning and there! all of them [were] corpses dead.
Saa gik HERRENS Engel ud og ihjelslog i Assyrernes Lejr 185 000 Mand; og se, næste Morgen tidlig laa de alle døde.
37 And he set out and he went and he returned Sennacherib [the] king of Assyria and he remained in Nineveh.
Da brød Assyrerkongen Sankerib op, vendte hjem og blev siden i Nineve.
38 And it was he [was] bowing down [the] house of - Nisroch god his and Adrammelech and Sharezer sons his they struck down him with the sword and they they escaped [the] land of Ararat and he reigned Esar-haddon son his in place his.
Men da han engang tilbad i sin Gud Nisroks Hus, slog hans Sønner Adrammelek og Sar'ezer ham ihjel med deres Sværd, hvorefter de flygtede til Ararats Land; og hans Søn Asarhaddon blev Konge i hans Sted.
