Isaiah 62
1 For Zion's sake I will not be silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness proceeds brightly, and her salvation as a burning torch.
For Zions Skyld vil jeg ej tie, for Jerusalems skyld ej hvile før dets Ret rinder op som Lys, som en luende Fakkel dets Frelse.
2 The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that Yahweh will choose.
Din Ret skal Folkene skue og alle Konger din Ære. Et nyt Navn giver man dig, som HERRENs Mund skal nævne.
3 You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh, and a turban of kingship in the hand of your God.
Og du bliver en dejlig Krone i HERRENs Hånd, et kongeligt Hovedbind i Hånden på din Gud.
4 It will no more be said of you, “Abandoned”; nor of your land any longer will it be said, “Desolate.” Indeed, you will be called “My delight is in her,” and your land “Married,” for Yahweh delights in you, and your land will be married.
Du kaldes ej mer "den forladte", dit Land "den ensomme"; nej, "Velbehag" kaldes du selv, og dit Land kaldes "Hustru". Thi HERREN har Velbehag i dig, dit Land skal ægtes.
5 Truly, as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you, and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, your God will rejoice over you.
Som Ynglingen ægter en Jomfru, så din Bygmester dig, som Brudgom glædes ved Brud, så din Gud ved dig.
6 I have put watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they are not silent day or night. You who keep reminding Yahweh, do not pause.
Jeg sætter Vægtere på dine Mure, Jerusalem; ingen Sinde bag eller Nat skal de tie. I, som minder HERREN, und jer ej Ro
7 Do not allow him to rest until he reestablishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise on earth.
og lad ham ikke i Ro, før han bygger Jerusalem, før han får gjort Jerusalem til Pris på Jorden.
8 Yahweh has sworn by his right hand and by the arm of his strength, “Surely I will no longer give your grain as food for your enemies. Foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have worked.
HERREN svor ved sin højre, sin vældige Arm: Jeg giver ej mer dine Fjender dit Korn til Føde; Mosten, du sled for, skal Udlandets Sønner ej drikke;
9 For those who harvest the grain will eat it and praise Yahweh, and those who pick the grapes will drink the wine in the courts of my holy sanctuary.”
nej, de, der høster, skal spise prisende HERREN; de, der sanker, skal drikke i min hellige Forgård.
10 Come through, come through the gates! Prepare the way for the people! Build it, build the highway! Gather out the stones! Raise up a signal flag for the nations!
Drag ud gennem Portene, drag ud, ban Folket Vej, byg Vej, byg Vej, sank alle Stenene af, rejs Banner over Folkeslagene!
11 Look, Yahweh announces to the ends of the earth, “Say to the daughter of Zion: Look, your Savior is coming! See, his reward is with him, and his recompense is going before him.”
Se, HERREN lader det høres til Jordens Ende: Sig til Zions Datter: "Se, din Frelse kommer, se, hans Løn er med ham, hans Vinding foran ham!"
12 They will call you, “The holy people; the redeemed of Yahweh,” and you will be called “Sought after; a city not abandoned.”
De skal kaldes: det hellige Folk, HERRENs genløste, og du: den søgte, en By, som ej er forladt.
