Jesaja 3
1 Ty si, Herren, Herren Zebaoth skall borttaga, af Jerusalem och Juda, allt uppehälle, bröds uppehälle, vattens uppehälle;
The Commander of the armies of angels is about to take away from Jerusalem and [other places in] Judea everything that you depend on— all your food and water.
2 Starka och krigsmän; domare, Propheter, spåmän och åldersmän;
He will take away your heroes and your [other] soldiers, your judges and your prophets, people who do rituals to find out what will happen in the future and the elders,
3 Höfvitsmän öfver femtio, och ärliga män; rådmän och visa ämbetsmän, och vältalande män;
army officers and [other] officials, advisors and skilled craftsmen and those who perform rituals to predict the future.
4 Och skall gifva dem ynglingar till Förstar, och barnslige skola råda öfver dem.
He will appoint boys to be your leaders; your children will rule you.
5 Och plågare skola vara i folkena, den ene öfver den andra, och hvar öfver sin nästa; och den, som yngre är, skall vara stolt öfver den gamla, och en lösaktig emot den ärliga.
People will treat each other cruelly: people will fight against their neighbors. Young people will insult older people, and vulgar/dishonorable people will sneer at people who should be honored.
6 Då skall en fatta sin broder utu sins faders hus: Du hafver kläder, var vår Förste, hjelp du detta ofallet.
At that time, someone will grab one of his brothers in his father’s house and say to him, “You have a coat, [which shows that you are respected]. [So] you be our leader! You rule this [city, which is now] a pile of ruins!”
7 Men han skall på den tiden svärja, och säga: Jag är ingen läkare; i mino huse är hvarken bröd eller kläder; sätter mig icke till en Första öfver folket.
[But] his brother will reply, “[No], I cannot help you, [because] I do not have [any extra] food or clothes in this house. [So] do not appoint me to be your leader!”
8 Ty Jerusalem faller, och Juda ligger omkull; efter deras tunga och anslag är emot Herranom, så att de hans majestäts ögon emot sträfva.
Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah will be destroyed, because [everything] that the people do and say there opposes Yahweh, who is powerful and glorious, and they refuse to obey him. They rebel against him.
9 De skyla intet sitt väsende, och berömma sig af sina synder, lika som de i Sodom, och dölja dem intet; ve deras själar; ty dermed föra de sig sjelfva på allt ondt.
They even show on their faces that [they oppose Yahweh]. They are proud of their sins, like [the people of] Sodom were [long ago]; they do not try to hide their sins. [Because of their sins], terrible things will happen to them, [but] they will bring those disasters on themselves.
10 Prediker om de rättfärdiga, att de stå väl; ty de skola äta sina gerningars frukt.
[Yahweh told me to] tell the righteous people that good things will happen to them; they will enjoy the blessings that they will receive for their good deeds.
11 Men ve dem ogudaktigom; ty de äro onde, och det skall varda dem betaladt, lika som de det förtjena.
[But] terrible things will happen to wicked people; they will be (paid back/punished) for [the evil things that] [MTY] they have done.
12 Barn äro mins folks plågare, och qvinnor råda öfver dem. Mitt folk, dine ledare förföra dig, och förderfva vägen den du gå skall.
[Now], youths [who have become leaders] treat my people cruelly, and women rule over my people. My people, your leaders are misleading you; they are causing you to go down the wrong road [MET].
13 Men Herren står der, till att gå till rätta, och är framgången till att döma folken.
[It is as though] Yahweh has sat in his place in a courtroom and is ready to judge his people.
14 Och Herren kommer till domen med sins folks äldsta, och med sina Förstar; ty I hafven förderfvat vingården; och rofvet ifrå de fattige är i edart hus.
He will stand up to declare why the elders and rulers of his people should be punished: [he says], “The people of Israel are [like] [MET] a vineyard that I planted, but you have ruined it! Your houses are full of things that you have stolen from poor people.
15 Hvi förtrampen I mitt folk, och förkrossen dens fattigas person, säger Herren, Herren Zebaoth?
You should stop [RHQ] crushing my people! [It is as though] you are pushing the faces of poor people into the dirt!” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
16 Och Herren säger: Derföre, att Zions döttrar äro stolta, och gå med rakom hals, med färgadt ansigte; gå och svansa, och hafva kosteliga skor på sina fötter;
Yahweh says this: “The women of Jerusalem are haughty/proud; they walk around sticking their chins out, and flirting [with men] with their eyes. They walk with tiny steps with bracelets on their ankles that jingle.
17 Så skall Herren göra Zions döttrars hufvud skallot; och Herren skall bortrycka deras sköna hår.
So I, Yahweh, will cause sores to be on their heads, and I will cause those beautiful women in Jerusalem to become bald.”
18 På den tiden skall Herren borttaga prydningen af de kosteliga skor, och häkter, spänne,
At the time [that Yahweh does that], he will strip away everything that the women of Jerusalem wear to make themselves beautiful—the ornaments on their ankles and their headbands, their crescent necklaces,
19 Kedjor, armspänne, hufvor,
their earrings and bracelets and veils,
20 Flitter, bräm, snöre, desmoknappar, öronspann,
their scarves and ankle bracelets and sashes, their perfumes and (charms/little things that they wear thinking that those things will protect them from evil),
21 Ringar, ännespann,
their signet rings and nose rings,
22 Högtidskläder, kåpor, hvifvar, pungar,
their nice robes and capes and cloaks and purses,
23 Speglar, snöretröjor, bordor och sommarkläder.
their mirrors and nice linen clothes and shawls.
24 Och der skall vara stank för goda lukt, och ett löst band för bälte, och ett skallot hufvud för krusadt hår, och för en vid mantel en trång säck; allt detta i staden för din dägelighet.
Instead of their having a nice smell from perfume, they will stink; instead of nice sashes, they will have ropes [around their waists because they will be captives]. Instead of having fancy hairdos, they will be bald. Instead of fancy/beautiful robes, they will wear rough sackcloth, and instead of being beautiful, they will be branded.
25 Ditt meniga folk skall falla genom svärd, och dine krigsmän i strid.
Their husbands will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and their soldiers [will also die] in battles.
26 Och hans portar skola sörja och gräma sig, och han skall sitta jämmerliga på jordene.
People [PRS] will mourn and cry at the gates [of the city]. The city will [be like] [MET] a woman who sits on the ground because everything that she owned is gone.
