Esaias 27
1 På den dagen skal Herren med sverdet sitt, det harde og store og sterke, heimsøkja Livjatan, den flogsnare ormen, og Livjatan, den krøkjande ormen, og han skal drepa sjøormen.
In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent, and he will kill the monster that is in the sea.
2 På den dagen skal de finnast ein yndeleg vingard, syng um honom:
In that day is a vineyard of wine. Sing ye to it.
3 «Eg, Herren, er vaktaren hans. Kvar augneblink vatnar eg honom, at ikkje nokon skal heimsøkja honom, vaktar eg honom dag og natt.
I Jehovah am its keeper, I will water it every moment. Lest any hurt it, I will guard it night and day.
4 Vreide hev eg ikkje; men vilde tornar og tistlar reisa seg til krig, skulde eg gå laus på deim, brenna deim heilt upp -
Wrath is not in me. Would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them. I would burn them together.
5 utan so dei vilde fly til mi vern, gjera fred med meg, ja gjera fred med meg.»
Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Yea, let him make peace with me.
6 I komande dagar skal Jakob røta seg, Israel bløma og få renningar og fylla jordheimen med si frukt.
In days to come Jacob shall take root; Israel shall blossom and bud. And they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Hev han slege honom liksom han slo plågaren hans? Eller vart han myrd liksom mordarane hans vart det?
Has he smitten them as he smote those who smote them? Or are they slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by them?
8 Med måte refste du henne, med du sende henne burt. Han dreiv henne burt med sitt harde ver, den dagen austanvinden bles.
In measure, in sending it forth, thou contend with it. He has removed with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
9 Difor vert og misgjerdi åt Jakob utsona, og det at syndi vert burtteki, fær gjeva fullmogi frukt, når alle altarsteinarne vert krasa som kalksteinar, og Astarte-bilæti og solstolparne ikkje reiser seg meir.
Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob shall be forgiven. And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten apart, so that the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
10 For den faste byen ligg i øyde, ein folketom bustad, aud som øydemarki. Kalvar beiter der og hev der si lega og et av kvisterne.
For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken like the wilderness. There the calf shall feed, and there he shall lie down, and consume the branches of it.
11 Når greinerne hev vorte turre, bryt dei deim av, kvinnfolki nører upp eld med deim. For dette er ikkje noko vitugt folk. Difor miskunnar deira skapar deim ikkje, og han som laga deim, er deim ikkje nådig.
When the boughs of it are withered, they shall be broken off. The women shall come, and set them on fire, for it is a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion upon them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.
12 Og det skal henda på den dagen, at Herren skal halda ei frukthausting alt frå Storelvi til Egyptarlands-bekken, og de, Israels born, skal verte sanka, ein for ein.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will beat off his fruit, from the flood of the River to the brook of Egypt. And ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye sons of Israel.
13 Og det skal henda på den dagen at dei skal blåsa i ein stor lur, og då skal dei koma dei burtkomne i Assurs land og dei burtdrivne i Egyptarlandet, og dei skal tilbeda Herren på det heilage fjellet i Jerusalem.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown. And they shall come who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
