Isaiah 1
1 [I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
Detta är Esaia syn, Amos sons, den han såg om Judo och Jerusalem, uti Ussia, Jothams, Ahas och Jehiskia, Juda Konungars, tid.
2 This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
Hörer, I himlar, och du jord, fattat med öronen; ty Herren talar: Jag hafver uppfödt barn, och upphöjt, och de äro mig affällige vordne.
3 Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
En oxe känner sin herra, och en åsne sins herras krubbo; men Israel känner det intet, och mitt folk förstår det intet.
4 Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
Ack! ve det syndiga folket; det folket af stor misshandel, den arga säden, de skadeliga barnen, som öfvergifva Herran, försmäda, den Heliga i Israel, och vända tillbaka.
5 Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
Hvad skall man mer slå eder, medan I afviken ju desto mer? Hela hufvudet är krankt, hela hjertat är försmäktadt.
6 [It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
Ifrå fotbjellet allt upp till hufvudet är der intet helt uppå; utan sår, svullnad och etterböld, de der intet plåstrade, eller förbundne, eller med olja mökte äro.
7 [It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
Edart land är öde; edra städer äro uppbrände med eld; främmande förtära eder åker för edor ögon, och han är öde, såsom det de främmande förhärjat hafva.
8 The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
Men hvad ännu qvart är af dottrene Zion, det är lika som en hydda uti enom vingård, och såsom en vaktebod uti stubbåkren; såsom en förhärjad stad.
9 If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
Om Herren Zebaoth icke läte oss något litet igenblifva, så vore vi lika som Sodom, och lika som Gomorra.
10 You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
Hörer Herrans ord, I Sodomitiske Förstar; fatta med öronen vår Guds lag, du Gomorriska folk.
11 He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
Hvad skall jag med edart myckna offer? säger Herren; jag är mätt af vädrars bränneoffer, och af de göddas talg, och hafver ingen lust till oxars, lambars och bockars blod.
12 When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
Då I kommen in till att te eder för mig; ho äskar sådant af edra händer, att I skullen träda in uppå mina gårdar?
13 Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
Hafver icke mer spisoffer fram fåfängt; rökverk är mig styggeligit; nymånader och Sabbather, då I sammankommen, må jag icke lida; ty I bedrifven afguderi och våld i dem.
14 I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
Min själ hatar edra nymånadar och årstider; jag är ledse dervid, jag orkar icke lida dem.
15 [So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
Och om I än uträcken edra händer, så bortgömmer jag dock min ögon ifrån eder; och om I än mycket bedjen, så hörer jag eder dock intet; ty edra händer äro fulla med blod.
16 Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
Tvår eder, görer eder rena, lägger bort edart onda väsende ifrå min ögon; vänder igen af det onda;
17 Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
Lärer göra det godt är, farer efter det som rätt är, hjelper dem förtryckta, skaffer dem faderlösa rätt, och hjelper enkones sak.
18 Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
Så kommer då sedan, och låter oss gå med hvarannan till rätta, säger Herren: Om edra synder än voro blodröda, så skola de dock varda snöhvita; och om de än voro såsom rosenfärga, så skola de dock varda såsom en ull.
19 If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
Viljen I höra mig, så skolen I nyttja landsens goda.
20 But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Viljen I ock icke, utan ären ohörsamme, så skolen I af svärd förtärde varda; ty Herrans mun säger det.
21 “[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
Huru kommer det till, att den fromme staden är vorden en sköka? Han var full med rätthet, rättvisan bodde derinne; men nu mördare.
22 Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
Ditt silfver är vordet slagg, och ditt vin förmängdt med vatten.
23 Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
Dine Förstar äro affällige, och tjufvars stallbröder; de taga alle gerna gåfvor, och fara efter skänker; dem faderlösa skaffa de icke rätt, och enkones sak kommer intet inför dem.
24 Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
Derföre säger Herren, Herren Zebaoth, den mäktige i Israel: Ack ve! Jag måste trösta mig igenom mina fiendar, och hämna mig igenom mina ovänner;
25 I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
Och måste vända mina hand emot dig, och utrensa ditt slagg som aldrarenast, och borttaga allt ditt tenn;
26 [After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
Och gifva dig åter domare igen, såsom de voro tillförene, och rådherrar, såsom i begynnelsen; då skall du heta rättvisones stad, och en from stad.
27 Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
Zion måste igenom rätt förlossad varda, och hans fångar igenom rättfärdighet;
28 But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
Att de öfverträdare och syndare skola tillsamman sönderkrossade varda, och de, som öfvergifva Herran, förgås.
29 You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
Ty de måste komma på skam öfver de ekar, der I lust till hafven, och blygas öfver de lustgårdar, som I utväljen;
30 You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
När I varden såsom en ek med torr löf, och såsom en lustgård utan vatten;
31 Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
När beskärmet varder såsom blår, och dess verk såsom en gnista; och både tillhopa brinnen, så att ingen utsläcker det.
