Isaiah 32
1 Listen to this! Some day there will be a righteous king, and his officials will help him to rule justly/fairly.
Se, med Retfærdighed skal en Konge regere, og efter Ret skulle Fyrsterne styre.
2 Each [of them] will be like [MET] a shelter from the wind and a (refuge/place to be protected) from the storm. They will be like [SIM] streams of water in the desert, like the shade under a huge rock in a very hot and dry land.
Og enhver af dem skal være som Skjul imod Vejr og Ly imod Vandskyl, som Vandbække paa et tørt Sted og som en svar Klippes Skygge i et vansmægtende Land.
3 When that happens, [those leaders will enable] people who have not understood [MET] [God’s truth] to understand it, and [they will enable] those who have not paid attention to [MET] [God’s truth] to pay attention to it.
Og de seendes Øjne skulle ikke være blændede, og de hørendes Øren skulle give Agt.
4 [Even] those who act very hastily will have good sense, and those who cannot speak well will speak fluently and clearly.
Og de ubesindiges Hjerte skal forstaa Kundskab; og de stammendes Tunge skal haste til at tale forstaaelige Ord.
5 [At that time], people who are foolish/unwise will no longer be (admired/looked up to), and scoundrels will no longer be respected.
En Daare skal ikke ydermere kaldes ædel og en karrig ej kaldes rig.
6 Foolish people say things that are foolish, and they plan to do evil things. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they say things about Yahweh that are false. They do not give food to those who are hungry, and they do not give water to those who are thirsty.
Thi en Daare taler Daarlighed, og hans Hjerte gør Uret for at øve Ugudelighed og for at tale Usandhed imod Herren, for at lade en hungrig Sjæl forblive tom og lade en tørstig fattes Drik.
7 Scoundrels do things that are evil and that deceive people; they plan to do evil things; by telling lies [in court] they cause poor people to (have trouble/be convicted), even when what the poor [people] are requesting is fair/just.
Og den karrige bruger slette Midler; han optænker List for at berede de elendige Fordærvelse med falske Ord, og det, naar den fattige taler sin Sag.
8 But honorable people plan to do honorable/good things, and they do the honorable/good things that they plan to do.
Men den ædle tænker paa ædle Ting, han skal bestaa ved sin ædle Daad.
9 You women [of Jerusalem] who think that you are very secure/safe and think that everything is going well, listen to [IDM] what I say!
I Kvinder, som ere saa sorgløse, staar op og hører min Røst! I Døtre, som ere saa trygge, vender Øren til min Tale!
10 One year from now, you who now (are not worried about anything/think that everything is going well) will tremble, because there will be no grapes for you to harvest and no [other] crops to harvest.
Om Aar og Dag skulle I, som ere trygge, blive urolige; thi det er forbi med Vinhøsten, der kommer ingen Frugtsamling.
11 [So] tremble [now], you women who are not worried about anything! Take off your [fancy] clothes and put rough sackcloth around your waists.
Vorder forfærdede, I sorgløse! vorder urolige, I trygge! klæd dig af, og blot dig, og bind om Lænderne!
12 Beat/Hit your breasts to show that you are grieving about [what will happen in] your fertile fields and to your fruitful grapevines,
De skulle slaa sig for Brystet for de yndige Agres, for de frugtbare Vintræers Skyld;
13 because [only] thorns and thistles will grow in your soil. Your houses where you had joyful parties and your city where you have been happy will be gone.
der skal opvokse Torne og Tidsler paa mit Folks Mark, ja, over alle Glædens Boliger i den lystige Stad.
14 The [king’s] palace will be empty; there will be no people in the city that [now] is very noisy. Wild donkeys will walk around and flocks of sheep will eat grass in the empty forts and watchtowers.
Thi Paladserne ere forladte, Stadens Tummel er ophørt; Ofel og Vagttaarnet er blevet til Huler evindelig, Vildæsler til Glæde, Hjorde til Føde,
15 [It will be like that] until God pours his Spirit out on us from heaven. [When that happens], the deserts will become fertile fields, and abundant crops will grow in those fertile fields.
indtil Aanden fra det høje udgydes over os, og Ørken bliver til en frugtbar Mark, og den frugtbare Mark agtes som en Skov;
16 People [PRS] will act/rule justly/fairly in those desert areas, and people will act/rule righteously in those fertile fields.
og Ret bor i Ørken, og Retfærdighed bliver paa den frugtbare Mark;
17 And the result of their acting righteously will be that there will be peace, the land will be tranquil/quiet, and people will be secure/safe forever.
og Retfærdigheds Gerning bliver Fred, og Retfærdighedens Løn bliver Hvile og Tryghed indtil evig Tid;
18 My people will live in their homes peacefully, and safely, and calmly, in places of rest.
og mit Folk bor i Fredens Hytter og i Trygheds Boliger og i stille rolige Steder.
19 [Even if a severe] hailstorm knocks down [the trees in] the forest, and [all the buildings in] the city are blown down,
Men det skal hagle, naar Skoven fældes, og Staden skal nedtrykkes i det lave.
20 Yahweh [will greatly] bless you; you will plant [seeds in fields] alongside the streams [and there will be abundant crops]. Your donkeys and cattle will easily find grass to eat.
Lyksalige ere I, som saa ved alle Vande, I, som lade Oksen og Æselet frit løbe om!
