Esaias 61
1 Herrens, Herrens ande er yver meg, for Herren hev salva meg til å bera fagnadbod til dei smålåtne, han hev sendt meg til å binda um dei hugbrotne, til å ropa ut fridom for fangar, og for dei bundne utløysing,
The Ruach of 'Adonay Yahweh [Spirit, Breath of Lord He sustains breathing] is on me; because Adonai has anointed me to preach good news to the poor and humble. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, to let out into the light those bound in the dark, and to restore the crushed with forgiveness;
2 ropa ut eit nåde-år for Herren og ein hemnedag frå vår Gud, til å trøysta alle dei syrgjande,
to proclaim the year of Adonai’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
3 til å gjeva dei syrgjande i Sion høgtidskruna for syrgjebunad, gledeolje i staden for sorg, lovsongs-klæde for vanmoda ånd, og dei skal heita rettferds eiker, Herrens plantning til herleggjering.
to provide for those who mourn in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of tehilah ·praise song· for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Adonai, that he may be glorified.
4 Dei skal byggja upp att gamle grushaugar, reisa upp att ruinar frå federne, nya upp att nedbrotne byar, øydegarder frå ætt til ætt.
They will rebuild the old ruins. They will raise up the places long devastated. They will repair the ruined cities, that have been devastated for many generations.
5 Framande skal gjæta smalen dykkar, utlendingar dyrka åt dykk både åker og vingard.
Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will work your fields and your vineyards.
6 Men de skal heita Guds prestar, tenarar åt vår Gud skal dei kalla dykk; folke-eiga skal de njota, og deira herlegdom skal de få.
But you will be called Adonai’s priests. Men will call you the servants of our God. You will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their kavod ·weighty glory·.
7 For dykkar skam fær de dobbelt att, dei som leid skjemsla, skal prisa sin lut. Difor fær dei dobbel lut i sitt land, æveleg gleda skal dei få.
Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land, they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them.
8 For eg, Herren, elskar retten, eg hatar urett ran, og trufast gjev eg deim løni deira og gjer med deim ei æveleg pakt.
“For I, Adonai, 'ahav ·affectionately love· mishpat ·justice·. I hate robbery for burnt offerings. I will give them their reward in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with them.
9 Namngjeti vert deira ætt millom folki og avkjømet deira bland tjoderne; alle som ser deim, skal kjenna deim, at dei er ei ætt som Herren hev signa.
Their offspring will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which Adonai has blessed.”
10 Eg gled meg storleg i Herren, sjæli mi fegnast i min Gud. For han hev klædt meg i frelse-klæde, sveipt meg i rettferds-kåpa, som ein brudgom seg pryder med prestehuva og ei brur tek på seg sin prydnad.
I will greatly rejoice in Adonai! My soul will be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of yesha' ·salvation·. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For som jordi sin grode let renna, og hagen sitt sæde let veksa, so let Herren, Herren rettferd renna og lovsong for alle folks åsyn.
For as the earth produces its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring up; so 'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh] will cause righteousness and tehilah ·praise song· to spring up before all the nations.
