Isaiah 62
1 Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
För Zions skull vill jag icke tiga, och för Jerusalems skull vill jag icke hållat inne; tilldess dess rättfärdighet uppgår såsom ett sken, och dess salighet brinner såsom ett bloss;
2 [Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new name.
Att Hedningarna måga se dina rättfärdighet, och alle Konungar dina härlighet, och du skall med ett nytt namn nämnd varda, hvilket Herrans mun nämna skall.
3 [It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
Och du skall vara en skön krona uti Herrans hand; och en Konungslig hatt uti dins Guds hand.
4 Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
Man skall icke mer kalla dig den öfvergifna, ej heller ditt land ett öde; utan du skall kallas: Min lust i henne, och ditt land: Det hafver en Herra; ty Herren hafver lust till dig, och ditt land hafver en Herra.
5 You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
Ty såsom en ung man hafver ena jungfru kär, så skola din barn hafva dig kär; och såsom en brudgumme gläder sig öfver brudena, så skall ock din Gud fröjda sig öfver dig.
6 [You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
O Jerusalem! jag vill beställa väktare uppå dina murar, de som icke tiga skola hvarken dag eller natt: och de som på Herran tänka skola, på det att när eder intet tyst vara skall;
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
Och I icke skolen tiga om honom, tilldess Jerusalem varder beredt, och satt till ett lof uppå jordene.
8 Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
Herren hafver svorit vid sina högra, hand, och vid sins magts arm: Jag vill icke mer gifva dina säd dinom fiendom till att äta, ej heller din must, der du uppå arbetat hafver, de främmande dricka låta;
9 You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
Utan de som insamla det, de skola ock ätat, och lofva Herran; och de som införat, skola dricka det uti mins helgedoms gårdar.
10 Go out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
Går, går genom porten; bereder folkena väg; görer väg, görer väg; rödjer bort stenarna, reser ett baner upp emot folken.
11 This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of him.’”
Si, Herren låter höra sig allt intill verldenes ända: Säger dottrene Zion: Si, din salighet kommer; si, hans arbete och hans verk skall icke vara utan frukt.
12 They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
Man skall kalla dem det heliga folket, Herrans förlossade; och dig skall man kalla den besökta, och icke öfvergifna staden.
