Isaiah 25
1 Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
HERRE, min Gud er du; jeg priser dig, lover dit Navn. Thi du har gjort et Under, Raad fra fordum var tro og sande.
2 [Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
Thi du lagde Byen i Grus, den faste Stad i Ruiner; de fremmedes Borg er nedbrudt, aldrig mer skal den bygges.
3 Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
Derfor ærer dig et mægtigt Folk, frygter dig grumme Hedningers Stad.
4 Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
Thi du blev de ringes Værn, den fattiges Værn i Nøden, et Ly mod Skylregn, en Skygge mod Hede; thi som isnende Regn er Voldsmænds Aande,
5 and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
som Hede i det tørre Land. Du kuer de fremmedes Larm; som Hede ved Skyens Skygge saa dæmpes Voldsmænds Sang.
6 Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
Hærskarers HERRE gør paa dette Bjerg et Gæstebud for alle Folkeslag med fede Retter og stærk Vin, med fede, marvfulde Retter og stærk og klaret Vin.
7 [People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
Og han borttager paa dette Bjerg Sløret, som tilslører alle Folkeslag, og Dækket, der dækker alle Folk.
8 He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
Han opsluger Døden for stedse. Og den Herre HERREN aftørrer Taaren af hver en Kind og gør Ende paa sit Folks Skam paa hele Jorden, saa sandt HERREN har talet.
9 At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
Paa hin Dag skal man sige: Se, her er vor Gud, som vi biede paa, og som frelste os; her er HERREN, som vi biede paa. Lad os juble og glæde os over hans Frelse;
10 Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
thi HERRENS Haand hviler over dette Bjerg. Men Moab trampes ned, hvor det staar, som Straa i Møddingpølen;
11 Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
det breder sine Hænder ud deri, som Svømmeren gør for at svømme, og han ydmyger dets Hovmod trods Hændernes Kunstgreb.
12 The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
Han nedbryder og nedstyrter de stejle Mures Værn; han jævner dem med Jorden, saa de ligger i Støvet.
