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 Spirit of the Lord Jehovah [is] on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands.
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 the good pleasure of Jehovah, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners.
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 appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, 'Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah — to be beautified.'
4 Dei skal byggja upp att gamle grushaugar, reisa upp att ruinar frå federne, nya upp att nedbrotne byar, øydegarder frå ætt til ætt.
And they have built the wastes of old, The desolations of the ancients they raise up, And they have renewed waste cities, The desolations of generation and generation.
5 Framande skal gjæta smalen dykkar, utlendingar dyrka åt dykk både åker og vingard.
And strangers have stood and fed your flock, Sons of a foreigner [are] your husbandmen, And your vine-dressers.
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.
And ye are called 'Priests of Jehovah,' 'Ministers of our God,' is said of you, The strength of nations ye consume, And in their honour ye do boast yourselves.
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 and confusion, A second time they sing of their portion, Therefore in their land A second time do they take possession, Joy age-during [is] for 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 [am] Jehovah, loving judgment, Hating plunder for a burnt-offering, And I have given their wage in truth, And a covenant age-during I make for 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.
And known among nations hath been their seed, And their offspring in the midst of the peoples, All their beholders acknowledge them, For they [are] a seed Jehovah hath 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 greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments, And as a bride putteth on 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 bringeth forth her shoots, And as a garden causeth its sown things to shoot up, So the Lord Jehovah causeth righteousness and praise To shoot up before all the nations!
