Isaiah 5
1 [Now] I will sing a song about my dear friend, and about his vineyard. The vineyard was on a very fertile hillside.
Nu väl, jag vill sjunga minom vän ens mins väns viso om hans vingård. Min vän hafver en vingård, på ett fett rum.
2 My friend plowed the ground and cleared away the stones. Then he planted very good grapevines on that ground. In the middle of the vineyard, he built a watchtower, and he dug a (winepress/pit for squeezing the grapes). Then he waited [each year] to harvest some good grapes, but the vines produced [only] sour grapes.
Och han gärde omkring honom, och med stenhopar bevarade, och satte ädla vinträ deruti; han byggde ock ett torn deruti, och grof der en press, och vänte efter, att han skulle bära vindrufvor; men han bar vilddrufvor.
3 Now [this is what Yahweh says]: “You people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, I [am like the friend, and you are like] my vineyard; [so] you judge which of us [has done what is right].
Nu dömer, I Jerusalems inbyggare, och I Juda män, emellan mig och min vingård.
4 What more could I have done for you than what I have already done? I expected you to be doing good deeds [MET], so it is disgusting that [RHQ] you were [doing only evil things] like the vineyard that produced only sour grapes!
Hvad skulle man dock mer göra minom vingård, det jag honom icke gjort hafver? Hvi hafver han burit vilddrufvor, då jag vänte efter, att han skulle burit drufvor?
5 [So], I will now tell you what I will do to [Judah, the place that is like] my vineyard. I will cut down the hedges, and they will be destroyed. I will tear down the walls [of the cities] and allow [wild animals] to trample the land.
Nu väl, jag vill kungöra eder, hvad jag minom vingård göra vill: Hans gård skall borttagen varda, på det han skall ödelagd blifva, och hans mur skall sönderrifven varda, på det han skall förtrampad varda.
6 I will cause it to become a wasteland where the vines are not pruned and the ground is not hoed. It will be a place where briers and thorns [DOU] grow. And I will command that no rain will fall on it.”
Jag skall låta honom ligga öde, att ingen skall skäran eller grafvan, utan tistel och törne derinne växa; och skall bjuda skyarna, att de icke regna deruppå.
7 The nation of Israel is [like] [MET] the vineyard of the Commander of the armies of angels. The people of Judah are [like] the garden that was pleasing to him. He expected you to be doing what is just/fair, but instead, [what he saw was people] murdering [MTY] others. [He expected that you would be doing] righteous deeds, but instead, he heard cries from people who were being [attacked] violently.
Så är nu Herrans Zebaoths vingård Israels hus, och Juda män hans lustiga plantering; han vänter efter rätt, si, så är här icke annat än öfvervåld; efter rättviso, si, så är här alltsammans klagomål.
8 Terrible things will happen to you who continually [illegally] acquire houses and fields. You force one family after another to leave their homes until you are the only ones [HYP] [still] living in the land.
Ve dem som draga det ena huset intill det andra, och komma den ena åkren intill den andra, tilldess att intet rum mer är, att de skola besitta landet allena.
9 [But] I heard the Commander of the armies of angels solemnly declare this: “[Some day], many of those huge houses will be empty/deserted; no one will be living in those beautiful mansions.
Det är för Herrans Zebaoths öron; hvad gäller, om de många hus icke skola öde varda, och de stora och sköna utan inbyggare?
10 The vines on ten acres of land will not produce enough grapes to make (six gallons/22 liters) [of juice/wine], and ten baskets of seed will produce only one basket [of grain].”
Ty tio vingårdsfjällar skola icke gifva mer än ett åm, och en tunna säd skall icke gifva utan ena skäppo.
11 Terrible things will happen to those who get up early [each] morning to begin drinking alcoholic drinks, and who stay awake until late at night [drinking a lot of wine] until they are completely drunk.
Ve dem som om morgonen bittida uppe äro, till att beflita sig om dryck, och sitta intill nattena, att de af vin hete varda skola;
12 They have [big parties and provide lots of] wine. At their parties, there are [people playing] harps and lyres and tambourines and flutes, but they never think about what Yahweh does or appreciate what he has created.
Och hafva harpor, psaltare, trummor, pipor och vin, i deras collats; och se intet uppå Herrans verk, och akta intet uppå hans händers gerningar.
13 So, my people will be (exiled/taken to other countries) [far away] because they do not know [about me]. Those who are [now very important and] honored will starve, and the other people will die from thirst.
Derföre måste mitt folk varda bortfördt oförvarandes, och deras härlige hunger lida, och deras meniga folk törst lida.
14 [It is as though] [PRS] the place where the dead people are is eagerly looking for more Israeli people, opening its mouth to swallow them, and a huge number of people will be thrown into that place, including their leaders as well as a noisy crowd of people who enjoy living in Jerusalem. (Sheol h7585)
Derföre hafver helvetet utvidgat sina själ, och uppgapat med sina käftar utan, måtto, att nederfara skola både deras härlige och den menige man, både deras rike och glade; (Sheol h7585)
15 [Yahweh] will get rid of a huge number of people; and he will humble [many more] people who [now] are proud/arrogant.
Att hvar och en skall bocka sig, och hvar och en ödmjukad varda, och de högfärdigas ögon ödmjukad blifva;
16 But the Commander of the armies of angels will be exalted/praised because of his acting justly. God will show that he is holy by doing righteous/just deeds.
Men Herren Zebaoth uppböjd varda i domenom, och Gud, den Helige, helgad varda i rättfärdighet.
17 Then lambs and fat sheep will [be able to] find good grass to eat, [even] among the ruins [of the houses of rich people].
Så skola då lamb i bet gå i deras stad, och främlingar skola sig nära uti de fetas öde.
18 Some people constantly tell lies, and [it is as though] they are dragging behind them the wrong things that they have done. Terrible things will happen to them!
Ve dem som kobbla sig tillhopa, med fåfängelig band, till att göra orätt, och lika som med vagnsrep, till att synda;
19 They [make fun of God and] say [to him, ] “Go ahead, do something [to punish us]! We want to see what you will do. You, the Holy One of Israel, should do what you are planning to do, because we want to know what it is.”
Och säga: Låt hans verk skynda sig och snart komma, att vi måge set; låt dens Heligas i Israel anslag nalkas och komma, att vi måge vetat.
20 Terrible things will happen to those who say that evil is good, and that good is evil, that darkness is light and that light is darkness, that what is bitter is sweet and what is sweet is bitter.
Ve dem som kalla det onda godt, och det goda ondt; de der af mörkret ljus göra, och af ljuset mörker; de der göra sött af sura, och surt af söto.
21 Terrible things will happen to those who think that they are wise and that they (are very clever/know everything).
Ve dem som för sig sjelfva vise äro, och hålla sig sjelfva för kloka.
22 Terrible things will happen to those who [think that] [IRO] they are great/heroes because they are able to drink [lots of] wine, and boast about being able to mix good alcoholic drinks.
Ve dem som hjeltar äro till att dricka vin, och kämpar till att dricka;
23 If people offer them bribes in order that they will enable wicked people not to be punished, they accept those bribes, and they cause people who are innocent to be punished.
De der gifva den ogudaktiga rätt för gåfvors skull, och vända de rättfärdigas rätt ifrå dem.
24 Therefore, just like [SIM] fires burn up stubble and dry grass shrivels up and quickly burns in flames, [it will be as though] those people have roots that will rot and have flowers that will wither. [That will happen] because they rejected the laws of the Commander of the armies of angels; they have despised the messages of the Holy One of Israel.
Derföre, lika som eldslåge förtärer halm, och borttager agnar, alltså skall deras rot förruttna, och deras telningar bortflyga såsom stoft; förty de förakta Herrans Zebaoths lag, och försmäda dens Heligas ord i Israel.
25 That is why Yahweh is [extremely] angry [with his people]; [it is as though] his hand is raised [and he is ready to smash them]. [When he does that], the mountains will shake, and the corpses of people will be scattered in the streets like [SIM] manure. But even when that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry; he will be ready to punish his people [MET] again.
Derföre förgrymmar sig Herrans vrede öfver hans folk, och uträcker sina hand öfver dem, och slår dem, så att bergen bäfva, och deras kroppar äro lika som träck på gatone; och uti allt detta vänder icke hans vrede åter, utan hans hand är ännu uträckt.
26 Yahweh will send a signal to summon [armies of] nations far away; [it is as though] he will whistle [to summon those soldiers who are] in very remote places on the earth. They will come very swiftly [DOU] [to Jerusalem].
Ty han skall uppresa ett baner fjerran ibland Hedningarna, och locka dem ifrå jordenes ända; och si, hastigt och snarliga komma de;
27 They will not get tired or stumble. They will not [stop to] rest or to sleep. None of their belts will be loose, and none of them will have sandals with broken straps, [so they will all be ready to fight in battles].
Och ingen ibland dem är trött eller svag; ingen är sömnig eller sofver; ingom lossas bältet af hans länder, och ingen sliter en skorem sönder.
28 Their arrows will be sharp, and their bows will be ready [to shoot those arrows in a battle]. [Because their horses pull the chariots fast], sparks will shoot out from their hooves, and the wheels of the chariots will spin like a whirlwind.
Deras pilar äro skarpe, och alle deras bågar spände; deras hästahofvar äro såsom stenar, och deras hjul såsom ett stormväder.
29 They will roar like [very strong] lions [DOU] that growl and [then] pounce on the animals they want to kill and carry them off, and no one is able to rescue them.
De ryta som lejon, och ryta som ung lejon; de skola fräsa, och taga rof, och behållat, så att ingen undsätter det.
30 [Similarly, your enemies] will roar when they see the people they are about to kill, like [SIM] the sea roars. [On that day], if someone looks across the land, he will see [only people who are in] darkness and distressed; [it will be as though] even the sunlight is hidden by dark clouds.
Och skall på den tiden fräsa öfver dem lika som ett haf; när man då ser uppå landet, så är det mörkt af ångest, och ljuset skin intet mer för mörkrets skull.
