Isaiah 27
1 In that day the LORD with his keen and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he will slay the dragon that [is] in the sea.
Paa hin Dag hjemsøger HERREN med sit haarde, vældige, stærke Sværd Livjatan, Den flugtsnare Slange, Livjatan, den bugtede Slange, og ihjelslaar Dragen i Havet.
2 In that day sing ye to her, A vineyard of red wine.
Paa hin Dag skal man sige: Syng om en liflig Vingaard!
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest [any] hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
Jeg, HERREN, jeg er dens Vogter, jeg vander den atter og atter. For at ingen skal hjemsøge den, vogter jeg den Nat og Dag.
4 Fury [is] not in me: who would set the briers [and] thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
Vrede nærer jeg ikke. Fandt jeg kun Torn og Tidsel, gik jeg løs derpaa i Kamp og satte det alt i Brand —
5 Or let him take hold of my strength, [that] he may make peace with me, [and] he shall make peace with me.
med mindre man tyr til mit Værn, slutter Fred med mig, slutter Fred med mig.
6 He shall cause them that descend from Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
Paa hin Dag skal Jakob slaa Rod, Israel skyde og blomstre og fylde Verden med Frugt.
7 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? [or] is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
Har han vel slaaet det, som de, der slog det, blev slagne, eller blev det myrdet, som deres Mordere myrdedes?
8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
Ved at støde det bort og sende det bort trættede han med det; han jog det bort med sin voldsomme Aande paa Østenstormens Dag.
9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this [is] all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalk-stones that are beaten asunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
Derfor sones Jakobs Brøde saaledes, og dette er al Frugten af, at hans Synd tages bort: at han gør alle Altersten til sønderhuggede Kalksten, at Asjerastøtterne og Solstøtterne ikke mere rejser sig.
10 Yet the fortified city [shall be] desolate, [and] the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume its branches.
Thi den faste Stad ligger ensom, et folketomt Sted, forladt som en Ørken. Der græsser Ungkvæget, der lejrer det sig og afgnaver Kvistene.
11 When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come [and] set them on fire: for it [is] a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.
Naar Grenene er tørre, kommer Kvinderne og bryder dem af for at tænde Baal. Thi det er et Folk uden Indsigt; derfor kan dets Skaber ikke forbarme sig, dets Ophav ikke være det naadig.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall gather from the channel of the river to the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
Paa hin Dag slaar HERREN Frugten ned fra Flodens Strøm til Ægyptens Bæk, og I skal opsankes een for een, Israels Børn.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD on the holy mount at Jerusalem.
Paa hin Dag skal der stødes i det store Horn, og de tabte i Assyrien og de bortdrevne i Ægypten skal komme og tilbede HERREN paa det hellige Bjerg i Jerusalem.
