Isaiah 44
1 And therefore listen O Jacob servant my and Israel [whom] I have chosen it.
Men hør nu, Jakob, min Tjener, Israel, hvem jeg har udvalgt:
2 Thus he says Yahweh [who] made you and [who] formed you from [the] womb he will help you may not you be afraid O servant my Jacob and Jeshurun [whom] I have chosen it.
Så siger HERREN, som skabte dig og fra Moders Liv danned dig, din Hjælper: Frygt ikke, min Tjener Jakob, Jesjurun, hvem jeg har udvalgt!
3 For I will pour out water on thirsty [ground] and streams on dry ground I will pour out spirit my on offspring your and blessing my on descendants your.
Thi jeg udgyder Vand på det tørstende, Strømme på det tørre Land, udgyder min Ånd på din Æt, min Velsignelse over dit Afkom;
4 And they will spring up in between grass like poplars at watercourses of water.
de skal spire som Græs mellem Vande, som Pile ved Bækkenes Løb.
5 This one he will say [belong] to Yahweh I and this one he will call out with [the] name of Jacob and this one he will write hand his [belongs] to Yahweh and with [the] name of Israel he will name.
En skal sige: "Jeg er HERRENs", en kalde sig med Jakobs Navn, en skrive i sin Hånd: "For HERREN!" og tage sig Israels Navn.
6 Thus he says Yahweh [the] king of Israel and redeemer its Yahweh of hosts I [am] first and I [am] last and except me there not [is] a god.
Så siger HERREN, Israels Konge, dets Genløser, Hærskarers HERRE: Jeg er den første og den sidste, uden mig er der ingen Gud.
7 And who? [is] like me let him proclaim [it] and let him declare it and let him recount in order it to me from when established I a people of antiquity and [the] coming [things] and [the things] which they will come let them declare to them.
Hvo der er min Lige, træde frem, forkynde og godtgøre for mig: Hvo kundgjorde fra Urtid det kommende? De forkynde os, hvad der skal ske!
8 May not you be in dread and may not you fear ¿ not from then did I proclaim to you and did I declare and you [are] witnesses my ¿ [is] there a god except me and there not [is] a rock not I know.
Ræddes og ængstes ikke! Har ej længst jeg kundgjort og sagt det? I er mine Vidner: Er der Gud uden mig, er der vel anden Klippe? Jeg ved ikke nogen.
9 [those who] form an idol All of them [are] nothingness and desired [things] their not they confer profit and witnesses their they not they see and not they know so that they may be ashamed.
De, der laver Gudebilleder, er alle intet, og deres kære Guder gavner intet; deres Vidner ser intet og kender intet, at de må blive til Skamme.
10 Who? has he formed a god and an idol has he cast? to not to confer profit.
Når nogen laver en Gud og støber et Billede, er det ingen Gavn til;
11 There! all companions his they will be ashamed and craftsmen they [are] from humankind let them gather together all of them let them stand up let them be in dread let them be ashamed altogether.
se, alle dets Tilbedere bliver til Skamme; Mestrene er jo kun Mennesker lad dem samles til Hobe og træde frem, de skal alle som een forfærdes og blive til Skamme.
12 A craftsman of iron a tool and he works [it] on the coal[s] and with hammers he forms it and he worked it with [the] arm of strength his also he is hungry and there not [is] strength not he drinks water and he grew weary.
En smeder Jern til en Økse og arbejder ved Kulild, tildanner den med Hamre og gør den færdig med sin stærke Arm; får han ikke Mad, afkræftes han, og får han ikke Vand at drikke, bliver han træt.
13 A craftsman of wood he stretches out a measuring-line he outlines it with marker he works it with scraping tools and with compass he outlines it and he made it like [the] form of a man like [the] beauty of a man to dwell a house.
Så fælder ban Træer, udspænder Målesnoren, tegner Billedet med Gravstikken, skærer det ud med Kniven og sætter det af med Cirkelen; han laver det efter en Mands Skikkelse, efter menneskelig Skønhed, til at stå i et Hus.
14 To cut down for himself cedars and he took a cypress and an oak and he strengthened [it] for himself among [the] trees of [the] forest he plants laurel and rain it makes [it] grow.
Han fældede sig Cedre, tog Elm og Eg og arbejdede af al sin Kraft på Skovens Træer, som Gud havde plantet og Regnen givet Vækst.
15 And it belongs to anyone to burn and he took some of them and he became warm also he kindles a fire and he bakes bread also he makes a god and he bowed down he makes it an idol and he prostrated himself to it.
Det tjener et Menneske til Brændsel, han tager det og varmer sig derved; han sætter Ild i det og bager Brød - og desuden laver han en Gud deraf og tilbeder den, han gør et Gudebillede deraf og knæler for det.
16 Half of it he burns in a fire over half of it meat he eats he roasts roasted meat so he may be satisfied also he is warm and he may say aha! I am warm I see a fire.
Halvdelen brænder han i Ilden, og over Gløderne steger han Kød; han spiser Stegen og mættes; og han varmer sig derved og siger: "Ah, jeg bliver varm, jeg mærker Ilden" -
17 And [the] remainder of it a god he makes idol his (he prostrates himself *Q(k)*) to it so he may bow down and he may pray to it so he may say deliver me for [are] god my you.
og af Resten laver han en Gud, et Billede; han knæler for det, kaster sig ned og beder til det og siger: "Frels mig, thi du er min Gud!"
18 Not they know and not they understand for it is besmeared from seeing eyes their from having insight hearts their.
De skønner ikke, de fatter ikke, thi deres Øjne er lukket, så de ikke ser, og deres Hjerter, så de ikke skønner.
19 And not he brings to heart his and not knowledge and not understanding to say half of it I burned in a fire and also I baked on coals its bread I roasted meat so I may eat [it] and [the] remainder of it an abomination will I make? to a product of a tree will I prostrate myself?
De tænker ikke over det, de har ikke Indsigt og Forstand til at sige sig selv: "Halvdelen brændte jeg i Bålet, over Gløderne bagte jeg Brød, stegte Kød og spiste; skulde jeg da af Resten gøre en Vederstyggelighed? Skulde jeg knæle for en Træklods?"
20 [he is] feeding Ash[es] a heart [which] it is deceived it has turned aside him and not he will deliver self his and not he will say ¿ not [is] falsehood in right [hand] my.
Den, som tillægger Aske Værd, ham har et vildfarende Hjerte dåret; han redder ikke sin Sjæl, så han siger: "Er det ikke en Løgn, jeg har i min højre Hånd?"
21 Remember these [things] O Jacob and O Israel for [are] servant my you I formed you [are] a servant of me you O Israel not you will be forgotten by me.
Jakob, kom dette i Hu, Israel, thi du er min Tjener! Jeg skabte dig, du er min Tjener, ej skal du glemmes, Israel;
22 I have wiped out like dark cloud transgressions your and like cloud sins your return! to me for I have redeemed you.
jeg sletted som Tåge din Misgerning og som en Sky dine Synder. Vend om til mig, thi jeg genløser dig!
23 Shout for joy O heaven for he has acted Yahweh shout in triumph O lower parts of [the] earth break forth O mountains a shout of joy O forest and every tree in it for he has redeemed Yahweh Jacob and by Israel he will get glory for himself.
Jubler, I Himle, thi HERREN greb ind, fryd jer, I Jordens Dybder, bryd ud i Jubel, I Bjerge, Skoven og alle dens Træer, thi HERREN genløser Jakob og herliggør sig ved Israel.
24 Thus he says Yahweh redeemer your and [the one who] formed you from [the] womb I [am] Yahweh [who] made everything [who] stretched out [the] heavens to alone me [who] spread out the earth (from with myself. *Q(K)*)
Så siger HERREN, din Genløser, som danned dig fra Moders Liv: Jeg er HERREN, som skabte alt, som ene udspændte Himlen, udbredte Jorden, hvo hjalp mig?
25 [who] frustrates [the] signs of Empty talkers and diviners he makes look foolish [who] turns back wise [people] backwards and knowledge their he makes foolish.
som tilintetgør Løgnernes Tegn og gør Spåmænd til Dårer, som tvinger de vise tilbage, beskæmmer deres Lærdom,
26 [who] establishes [the] word of Servant his and [the] counsel of messengers his he performs who says of Jerusalem it will be inhabited and of [the] cities of Judah they will be rebuilt and ruins its I will raise up.
stadfæster sine Tjeneres Ord, fuldbyrder sine Sendebuds Råd, Jeg siger om Jerusalem: "Det skal bebos!" om Judas Byer: "de skal bygges!" Ruinerne rejser jeg atter!
27 Who says to the ocean-deep be dried up and rivers your I will make dry.
Jeg siger til Dybet: "Bliv tørt, dine Floder gør jeg tørre!"
28 Who says of Cyrus shepherd my and all desire my he will perform and to say of Jerusalem let it be rebuilt and [the] temple let it be refounded.
Jeg siger om Kyros: "Min Hyrde, som fuldbyrder al min Vilje!" Jeg siger om Jerusalem: "Det skal bygges!" om Templet: "Det skal grundes "
