Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou hast wholly gone up to the house-tops?
Et Udsagn: »Synernes Dal«. Hvad tænker du paa, siden alle stiger op paa Tagene,
2 Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain [men are] not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
du larmende, støjende By, du jublende Stad? Dine slagne er vel ikke sværdslagne, døde i Krig!
3 All thy rulers have fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, [who] have fled from far.
Alle dine Høvdinger flygted, flyed langt bort, alle dine Helte, væbnet med Buer, blev fanget.
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the devastation of the daughter of my people.
Derfor siger jeg: Gaa fra mig, lad mig græde bittert, træng ej paa for at trøste mig over, at mit Folk er lagt øde!
5 For [it is] a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
Thi en Dag, da man ræddes, trædes og trænges, har Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, til Rede! I Synernes Dal brødes Mure ned, mod Bjerget hørtes Skrig;
6 And Elam bore the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
Elam løftede Koggeret, Aram satte sig til Hest, Kir tog Skjoldene ud;
7 And it shall come to pass, [that] thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
og de bedste iblandt dine Dale fyldtes med Vogne og Heste, lige til Porten stod de.
8 And he uncovered the coverings of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armor of the house of the forest.
Han borttog Judas Værn. Paa den Dag saa I hen til Skovhusets Rustkammer,
9 Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye collected the waters of the lower pool.
og I saa, hvor mange Revner der var i Davidsbyen. I samlede Nedredammens Vand,
10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.
gik Jerusalems Huse igennem og rev Husene ned for at gøre Muren stærk.
11 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked to its maker, neither had respect to him that fashioned it long ago.
I gravede mellem de to Mure en Fordybning til den gamle Dams Vand. Men til ham, der virked det, skued I ikke, saa ej hen til ham, som beredte det for længst.
12 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
Paa hin Dag kaldte Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, til Graad og Sorg, til Hovedragning og Sæk.
13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we shall die.
Men se, der er Fryd og Glæde, man slaar Okser ned, slagter Faar, æder Kød og faar Vin at drikke: »Lad os æde og drikke, thi i Morgen dør vi!«
14 And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
Men Hærskarers HERRE aabenbared for mit Øre: »Den Synd, « siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, »faar I ikke sonet, førend I dør!«
15 Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, repair to this treasurer, [even] to Shebna, who [is] over the house, [and say],
Saa siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE: Gaa hen og sig til denne Foged, Slotshøvedsmanden Sjebna:
16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulcher here, [as] he that heweth him out a sepulcher on high, [and] that graveth a habitation for himself in a rock?
Hvad har du her, og hvem har du her, at du her udhugger din Grav, udhugger dig en Grav højt oppe, huler dig en Bolig i Klippen!
17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.
Se, HERREN slynger dig bort og bøjer dig sammen, du stolte,
18 With violence he will surely turn and toss thee [like] a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory [shall be] the shame of thy lord's house.
han knytter dig sammen til et Knytte og kaster dig ud i et vidtstrakt Land! Der skal du dø, der din Æresvogn komme, du Skændsel for din Herres Hus!
19 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.
Jeg støder dig bort fra din Stilling og styrter dig fra din Post.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
Men paa hin Dag kalder jeg min Tjener Eljakim, Hilkijas Søn,
21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
og iklæder ham din Kjortel, omgjorder ham med dit Bælte og lægger din Myndighed i hans Haand. Han skal blive en Fader for Jerusalems Indbyggere og Judas Hus.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Jeg lægger Nøglen til Davids Hus paa hans Skulder; naar han lukker op, skal ingen lukke i, og naar han lukker i, skal ingen lukke op,
23 And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.
Jeg fæster ham som en Nagle paa et sikkert Sted, og han skal blive til Hæder for sit Fædrenehus.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.
Men hænger hans Fædrenehus's hele Vægt sig paa ham, Skud og Vildskud, alle Smaakar, fra Fadene til alle Krukkerne,
25 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that [was] upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
saa skal det ske paa den Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, at Naglen, der var fæstet paa et sikkert Sted, giver efter, rives ud og falder ned, og hele Vægten, som hænger derpaa, skal slaas sønder. Thi HERREN har talet!
