Isaiah 3
1 For, lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is turning aside from Jerusalem, And from Judah, stay and staff, Every stay of bread, and every stay of water.
Thi se, HERREN, Hærskarers HERRE, fratager Jerusalem og Juda støtte og Stav, hver Støtte af Brød og hver støtte af vand:
2 Hero and man of war, judge and prophet, And diviner and elder,
Helt og Krigsmand, Dommer og Profet, Spåmand og Ældste,
3 Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, And counsellor, and the wise of artificers, And the intelligent of charmers.
Halvhundredfører og Stormand, Rådsherre og, Håndværksmester og den, der er kyndig i Trolddom.
4 And I have made youths their heads, And sucklings rule over them.
Jeg giver dem Drenge til Øverster, Drengekådhed skal herske over dem.
5 And the people hath exacted — man upon man, Even a man on his neighbour, Enlarge themselves do the youths against the aged, And the lightly esteemed against the honoured.
I Folket undertrykker den ene den anden, hver sin Næste; Dreng sætter sig op imod Olding, Usling mod Hædersmand.
6 When one layeth hold on his brother, [Of] the house of his father, [by] the garment, 'Come, a ruler thou art to us, And this ruin [is] under thy hand.'
Når da en Mand tager fat på en anden i hans Fædrenehus og siger: "Du har en Kappe, du skal være vor Hersker, under dig skal dette faldefærdige Rige stå!"
7 He lifteth up, in that day, saying: 'I am not a binder up, And in my house is neither bread nor garment, Ye do not make me a ruler of the people.'
så svarer han på hin Dag: "Jeg vil ikke være Sårlæge! Jeg har hverken Brød eller Klæder i Huset, gør ikke mig til Folkets Overhoved!"
8 For stumbled hath Jerusalem, and Judah hath fallen, For their tongue and their doings [are] against Jehovah, To provoke the eyes of His glory.
Thi Jerusalem snubler, og Juda falder, fordi de med Tunge og Gerning er mod HERREN i Trods mod hans Herligheds Øjne.
9 The appearance of their faces witnessed against them, And their sin, as Sodom, they declared, They have not hidden! Woe to their soul, For they have done to themselves evil.
Deres Ansigtsudtryk vidner imod dem; de kundgør deres Synd som Sodoma, dølger intet. Ve deres Sjæl, de styrted sig selv i Våde.
10 Say ye to the righteous, that [it is] good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat.
Salige de retfærdige, dem går det godt, deres Gerningers frugt skal de nyde;
11 Woe to the wicked — evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.
ve den gudløse, ham går det ilde; han får, som hans Hænder har gjort.
12 My people — its exactors [are] sucklings, And women have ruled over it. My people — thy eulogists are causing to err, And the way of thy paths swallowed up.
Mit, Folk har en Dreng ved Styret, og over det hersker Kvinder. Dine Ledere, mit Folk, leder, vild, gør Vejen, du, vandrer, vildsom.
13 Jehovah hath stood up to plead, And He is standing to judge the peoples.
Til Rettergang er HERREN trådt frem, han tår og vil dømme sit Folk.
14 Jehovah into judgment doth enter With elders of His people, and its heads: 'And ye, ye have consumed the vineyard, Plunder of the poor [is] in your houses.
HERREN møder til Doms med de Ældste i sit Folk og dets Fyrster: "Det er jer, som gnaved Vingården af, I har Rov fra den arme til Huse.
15 What — to you? ye bruise My people, And the faces of the poor ye grind.' An affirmation of the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, And Jehovah saith:
Hvor kan I træde på mit Folk og male de arme sønder?" så lyder det fra Herren, Hærskarers HERRE.
16 'Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, And they walk stretching out the neck, And deceiving [with] the eyes, Walking and mincing they go, And with their feet they make a tinkling,
HERREN siger: Eftersom Zions Døtre bryster sig og går med knejsende Nakke og kælne Blikke, går med trippende Gang og med raslende Ankelkæder -
17 The Lord also hath scabbed The crown of the head of daughters of Zion, And Jehovah their simplicity exposeth.
gør Herren issen skaldet på Zions Døtre og blotter deres Tindingers Lokker.
18 In that day doth the Lord turn aside The beauty of the tinkling ornaments, And of the embroidered works, And of the round tires like moons,
På hin Dag afriver Herren al deres Pynt: Ankelringe, Pandebånd, Halvmåner,
19 Of the drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
Perler, Armbånd, Flor,
20 Of the bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, And of the bands, And of the perfume boxes, and the amulets,
Hovedsmykker, Ankelkæder, Bælter, Lugtedåser, Trylleringe,
21 Of the seals, and of the nose-rings,
Fingerringe, Næseringe,
22 Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, And of the coverings, and of the purses,
Festklæder, Underdragter, Sjaler, Tasker,
23 Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, And of the hoods, and of the vails,
Spejle, Lin, Hovedbånd og Slør.
24 And it hath been, instead of spice is muck, And instead of a girdle, a rope, And instead of curled work, baldness, And instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth.
For Vellugt kommer der Stank, i Stedet for Bælte Reb, for Fletninger skaldet Isse, for Stadsklæder Sæk om Hofte, for Skønhedsmærke Brændemærke.
25 For instead of glory, thy men by sword do fall, And thy might in battle.
Dine Mænd skal falde for Sværd, dit unge Mandskab i Strid.
26 And lamented and mourned have her openings, Yea, she hath been emptied, on the earth she sitteth!
Hendes Porte skal sukke og klage og hun sidde ensom på Jorden.
