Isaiah 2
1 The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
Dette er, hvad Esajas, Amoz's Søn, skuede om Jerusalem:
2 And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, Established is the mount of Jehovah's house, Above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And flowed unto it have all the nations.
Det skal ske i de sidste Dage, at HERRENs Huses Bjerg, grundfæstet på Bjergenes Top, skal løfte sig op over Højene. Did skal Folkene strømme
3 And gone have many peoples and said, 'Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
og talrige Folkeslag vandre: "Kom, lad os drage til HERRENs Bjerg, til Jakobs Guds Hus; han skal lære os sine Veje, så vi kan gå på hans Stier; thi fra Zion udgår Åbenbaring, fra Jerusalem, HERRENs Ord:"
4 And He hath judged between the nations, And hath given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation doth not lift up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn any more — war.
Da dømmer han Folk imellem, skifter Ret mellem talrige Folkeslag; deres Sværd skal de smede til Plovjern, deres Spyd til Vingårdsknive; Folk skal ej løfte Sværd mod Folk, ej øve sig i Våbenfærd mer.
5 O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of Jehovah.'
Kom, Jakobs Hus, lad os vandre i HERRENs Lys!
6 For Thou hast left Thy people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And with the children of strangers strike hands.
Thi du forskød dit Folk, Jakobs Hus; de er fulde af Østens Væsen og spår, som var de Filistre, giver Folk fra Udlandet Håndslag.
7 And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,
Deres Land er fuldt af Sølv og Guld, talløse er deres Skatte; deres Land er fuldt af Heste, talløse er deres vogne;
8 And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made,
deres Land er fuldt af Afguder, de tilbeder Værk af deres Hænder, Ting, deres Fingre har lavet.
9 And the low boweth down, and the high is humbled, And Thou acceptest them not.
Men bøjes skal Mennesket, Manden ydmyges, tilgiv dem ikke!
10 Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency.
Gå ind i Klippen, skjul dig, i Støvet for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed!
11 The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
Sine stolte Øjne skal Mennesket slå ned, Mændenes Hovmod skal bøjes, og HERREN alene være høj på hin Dag.
12 For a day [is] to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
Thi en Dag har Hærskarers HERRE mod alt det høje og knejsende, mod alt ophøjet og stolt,
13 And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
med alle Libanons Cedre, de knejsende høje, og alle Basans Ege,
14 And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
mod alle knejsende Bjerge og alle høje Fjelde,
15 And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall,
mod alle stolte Tårne og alle stejle Mure,
16 And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
mod alle Tarsisskibe og hver en kostelig Ladning.
17 And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
Da skal Menneskets Stolthed bøjes, Mændenes Hovmod ydmyges. og HERREN alene være høj på hin Dag.
18 And the idols — they completely pass away.
Afguderne skal helt forsvinde.
19 And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
Og man skal gå ind i Klippehuler og Jordhuller for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed når han står op for at forfærde Jorden.
20 In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
På hin Dag skal Mennesket slænge sine Guder af Sølv og Guld, som han lavede sig for at tilbede dem, hen til Muldvarpe og Flagermus
21 To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
for at gå ind i Klipperevner og Fjeldkløfter for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed, når han står op for at forfærde Jorden.
22 Cease for you from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For — in what is he esteemed?
Slå ikke mer eders Lid til Mennesker, i hvis Næse der kun er flygtig Ånde, thi hvad er de at regne for?
