Jesaja 25
1 Herre, du äst min Gud; dig prisar jag; jag lofvar ditt Namn; ty du gör under, din gamla anslag äro trofast och sannfärdig.
Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
2 Ty du gör staden till en stenhop, den fasta staden, att han uti en hop ligger; de främmandes palats, så att det icke mer en stad är, och aldrig mer uppbyggd varder.
[Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
3 Derföre ärar dig ett mägtigt folk; de väldiga Hedningars städer frukta dig.
Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
4 Ty du äst dens fattigas starkhet, dens armas starkhet i bedröfvelsen, en tillflykt för oväder, en skygd för hetta, då de tyranner rasa såsom en storm emot en vägg.
Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
5 Du ödmjukar de främmandes storm, såsom en hette i torrt rum, så att hetten skall förderfva de tyranners vinqvistar; och skyarna gifva ändock skugga.
and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
6 Och Herren Zebaoth skall göra till all folk ett fett gästabåd på desso bergena; ett gästabåd af klart vin, af feto, af märg, af vin, der ingen drägg uti är.
Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
7 Och han skall på desso bergena bortlägga svepklädet, der all folk med besvept äro, och täckeklädet, der alle Hedningar men betäckte äro.
[People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
8 Ty döden skall platt uppsluken varda; och Herren Herren skall aftvå tårarna af all ansigte, och skall borttaga sins folks försmädelse i all land; ty Herren hafver det sagt.
He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
9 På den tiden skall man säga: Si, det är vår Gud, den vi förbide, och han skall hjelpa, oss; det är Herren; vi förbide honom, att vi skole fröjda oss, och glade vara i hans salighet.
At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
10 Ty Herrans hand hvilas på desso bergena; och Moab skall derunder förkrossad varda, såsom strå söndertröskadt varder, och såsom träck.
Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
11 Och han skall utsträcka sina händer midt ibland dem, såsom en simmande dem uträcker till att simma, och förnedra deras prål med sina händers arm;
Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
12 Och skall nederböja edra murars höga fäste, förnedra, och kasta dem i stoft på jordena.
The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
