Isaiah 11
1 [Like] [MET] a [new] shoot [often] grows from the stump [of a tree], there will be a descendant of King David who will be a new king.
Men der skyder en Kvist af Isajs Stub, et Skud gror frem af hans Rod;
2 The Spirit of Yahweh will always be with him. The Spirit will enable him to be wise and to understand [much about many things]. The Spirit will enable him to decide what is good to do, and will enable him to be very powerful. The Spirit will enable him to know Yahweh and to revere him.
og HERRENS Aand skal hvile over ham, Visdoms og Forstands Aand, Raads og Styrkes Aand, HERRENS Kundskabs og Frygts Aand.
3 He will be glad to obey Yahweh. He will not decide [whether someone is righteous or not only] by seeing what that person looks like, or by listening to [what others say about that person].
Hans Hu staar til HERRENS Frygt; han dømmer ej efter, hvad Øjnene ser, skønner ej efter, hvad Ørene hører.
4 He will judge [the cases of] needy people fairly; and he will act justly toward poor people. He will punish evil people as a result of what he decides [MTY]; he will get rid of wicked people because of [MTY] [their behavior].
Han dømmer de ringe med Retfærd, fælder redelig Dom over Landets arme. Voldsmanden slaar han med Mundens Ris, gudløse dræber han med Læbernes Aande.
5 He will always act righteously; his doing that will [accompany him like] [MET] a belt [around his waist]. He will always speak what is true; his doing that will [accompany him like] [MET] a sash [around his waist].
Og Retfærd er Bæltet, han har om sin Lænd, Trofasthed Hofternes Bælte.
6 [When he becomes king], wolves and lambs will live together [peacefully]; leopards, [instead of killing] baby goats, will lie down with them. [Similarly], calves and lions will eat food together; and a young child will take care of them.
Og Ulven skal gaa hos Lammet, Panteren hvile hos Kiddet, Kalven og Ungløven græsse sammen, dem driver en lille Dreng.
7 Cows and bears will eat [together]; bear cubs and calves will lie down together. Lions will [not eat other animals]; [instead], they will eat hay like cows do.
Kvien og Bjørnen bliver Venner, deres Unger ligger Side om Side, og Løven æder Straa som Oksen;
8 Babies will play [safely] near the holes where cobra snakes [live]; small children will [even] put their hands into nests of poisonous snakes, [and the snakes will not harm them].
den spæde skal lege ved Øglens Hul, den afvante række sin Haand til Giftslangens Rede.
9 No creatures will harm or kill other creatures on [Zion Hill], my holy hill; and the earth will [be filled with people who] know Yahweh like [SIM] the seas are full of water.
Der gøres ej ondt og voldes ej Men i hele mit hellige Bjergland; thi Landet er fuldt af HERRENS Kundskab, som Vandene dækker Havets Bund.
10 At that time, a descendant of King David will [hold up] a flag to signal to the people of all people-groups [that they should gather around him]; they will come to him to get his advice, and the place where he lives will be glorious.
Paa hin Dag skal Hedningerne søge til Isajs Rodskud, der staar som et Banner for Folkeslagene, og hans Bolig skal være herlig.
11 At that time, Yahweh will (reach out his hand/use his power) as he did long ago; he will enable those who had been (exiled from/forced to leave) Israel to return home, from Assyria, from northern Egypt, from southern Egypt, from Ethiopia, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath, and from all the distant countries near the sea.
Paa hin Dag skal Herren atter udrække sin Haand for at vinde, hvad der er til Rest af hans Folk, fra Assur og fra Ægypten, fra Patros, Ætiopien og Elam, fra Sinear, Hamat og Havets Strande.
12 Yahweh will raise his flag among [all] the people-groups, and he will gather together the people of Israel who had been exiled [long ago]. He will gather from very distant places [IDM] on the earth the people of Judah who [(had been scattered to/are living in) those places].
For Folkene rejser han Banner, samler Israels bortdrevne Mænd, sanker Judas spredte Kvinder fra Verdens fire Hjørner.
13 [Then], the people of Israel and the people of Judah will not be jealous of each other [any longer], and they will no [longer] be enemies of each other.
Efraims Skinsyge viger, og Judas Avind svinder; Efraim er ikke skinsygt paa Juda, og Juda bærer ej Avind mod Efraim.
14 Their [armies] will [join together to] attack the people of Philistia to the west. And together they will attack nations to the east; they will [defeat those nations and] take away all their valuable possessions. They will capture [the areas of] Edom and Moab, and the people of the Ammon people-group will be controlled/ruled by the people of Israel and Judah.
I Vest slaar de ned paa Filisternes Skulder, sammen plyndrer de Østens Sønner, mod Edom og Moab rækker de Haanden, Ammons Sønner lyder dem.
15 Yahweh will make a dry road through the sea near Egypt. And [it will be as though] he will wave his hand over the [Euphrates] River and send a strong wind to cause it to divide into seven streams, with the result that people will be able to walk across [those streams].
HERREN udtørrer Ægypterhavets Vig og svinger Haanden mod Floden i sin Aands Vælde; han kløver den i syv Bække, saa man kan gaa over med Sko;
16 And because he will make a highway for his people who are living in Assyria, they will be able to return [to their own land], just like [long ago] he made a path for [the people of] Israel [so that they could go through the water] when they left Egypt.
der bliver en banet Vej for dem af hans Folk, som levnes fra Assyrien, saaledes som der var for Israel, da det drog op fra Ægypten.
