Isaiah 2
1 This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
Dette er, hvad Esajas, Amoz's Søn, skuede om Jerusalem:
2 [I saw that] in the future, the hill on which Yahweh’s temple is built will be the most important place on the earth; it will be [as though it is] the highest mountain, [as though] it has been raised up above all other hills; and people from all over the world will come there.
Det skal ske i de sidste Dage, at HERRENS Huses Bjerg, grundfæstet paa Bjergenes Top, skal løfte sig op over Højene. Did skal Folkene strømme
3 People from many people-groups will say [to each other], “Come, let’s go up to the hill, to the temple of Yahweh, to worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. [There] Yahweh will teach us what he [desires us to know], in order that our behavior will [please] him. His teaching will be given [to us] in Jerusalem, and [we will take] his message from Jerusalem [to other places/nations].
og talrige Folkeslag vandre: »Kom, lad os drage til HERRENS Bjerg, til Jakobs Guds Hus; han skal lære os sine Veje, saa vi kan gaa paa hans Stier; thi fra Zion udgaar Aabenbaring, fra Jerusalem HERRENS Ord.«
4 Yahweh will listen to the disputes between nations and he will settle their arguments. [Then, instead of fighting against each other], they will hammer their swords into plow blades, and they will hammer their spears into pruning knives. [The armies of] nations will no longer fight against each other, and they will not [even] train men to fight in battles/wars.”
Da dømmer han Folk imellem, skifter Ret mellem talrige Folkeslag; deres Sværd skal de smede til Plovjern, deres Spyd til Vingaardsknive; Folk skal ej løfte Sværd mod Folk, ej øve sig i Vaabenfærd mer.
5 You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
Kom, Jakobs Hus, lad os vandre i HERRENS Lys!
6 [Yahweh, ] you have abandoned [us] your people who are descendants of Jacob, because everywhere your people practice the customs of people who live east [of Israel]. Your people also perform rituals to find out what will happen in the future, like the people in Philistia do. They make agreements/treaties with (pagans/people who do not know you).
Thi du forskød dit Folk, Jakobs Hus; de er fulde af Østens Væsen og spaar, som var de Filistre, giver Folk fra Udlandet Haandslag.
7 Israel is full of silver and gold; there are very many (treasures/valuable things) here. The land is full of war horses and war chariots.
Deres Land er fuldt af Sølv og Guld, talløse er deres Skatte; deres Land er fuldt af Heste, talløse er deres Vogne;
8 [But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
deres Land er fuldt af Afguder, de tilbeder Værk af deres Hænder, Ting, deres Fingre har lavet.
9 So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
Men bøjes skal Mennesket, Manden ydmyges, tilgiv dem ikke!
10 All you people should crawl into [the caves in] the rock cliffs! You should hide [in pits/holes] in the ground because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
Gaa ind i Klippen, skjul dig i Støvet for HERRENS Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed!
11 Yahweh will cause you people to no longer be arrogant, and he will stop you from being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
Sine stolte Øjne skal Mennesket slaa ned, Mændenes Hovmod skal bøjes, og HERREN alene være høj paa hin Dag.
12 The Commander of the armies of angels has chosen a day when [he will judge] those who are proud, every one of them [DOU], and he will humble them.
Thi en Dag har Hærskarers HERRE mod alt det høje og knejsende, mod alt ophøjet og stolt,
13 [He will get rid of all those who think they should be admired like] [MET] the tall cedar trees in Lebanon, and [like] all the great oak trees in the Bashan [region].
med alle Libanons Cedre, de knejsende høje, og alle Basans Ege,
14 He will [get rid of all those who think they are as great as] [MET] all the high hills and even the high mountains.
mod alle knejsende Bjerge og alle høje Fjelde,
15 He will [get rid of all those who think that they are] high towers and high strong walls [inside of or behind which they will be safe].
mod alle stolte Taarne og alle stejle Mure,
16 He will destroy all [those who are rich because they own] big ships that carry goods [to other countries] and [they own other] beautiful ships.
mod alle Tarsisskibe og hver en kostelig Ladning.
17 He will cause people to no longer be arrogant and he will cause them to stop being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
Da skal Menneskets Stolthed bøjes, Mændenes Hovmod ydmyges, og HERREN alene være høj paa hin Dag.
18 All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
Afguderne skal helt forsvinde.
19 When Yahweh comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth, they will run to hide in caves in rock cliffs and in holes/pits in the ground, because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
Og man skal gaa ind i Klippehuler og Jordhuller for HERRENS Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed naar han staar op for at forfærde Jorden.
20 On that day, people will get rid of all their gold and silver idols that they made to worship, and they will throw them to the bats and rats.
Paa hin Dag skal Mennesket slænge sine Guder af Sølv og Guld, som han lavede sig for at tilbede dem, hen til Muldvarpe og Flagermus
21 Then they will crawl into caves and hide in the crags in the cliffs. [They will do that to escape from] the dreadful [punishments] that Yahweh will cause them to endure, from [what he will do because] he is glorious and awesome, when he comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth.
for at gaa ind i Klipperevner og Fjeldkløfter for HERRENS Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed, naar han staar op for at forfærde Jorden.
22 [So, ] do not trust that people [will save you], because people are [as powerless as] [MET] their own breath. People certainly cannot help you [RHQ]!
Slaa ikke mer eders Lid til Mennesker, i hvis Næse der kun er flygtig Aande, thi hvad er de at regne for?
