Esajas bog 66 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 Dette siger Herren: Himlen er min trone, jorden min fodskammel. Hvilket hus skulle I kunne bygge mig, eller hvilket sted skulle være min bolig? | 1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? |
| 2 Min hånd har skabt alt dette, sådan blev det hele til, siger Herren. Det er den hjælpeløse, jeg ser til, den modløse og den, der skælver for mit ord. | 2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. |
| 3 Den, der slagter en okse, er en manddræber, og den, der ofrer et får, er en hundemorder; den, der bringer afgrødeoffer, ofrer svineblod, den, der brænder røgelse, velsigner det onde. Som de vælger deres egne veje og elsker deres ækle guder, | 3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. |
| 4 sådan vælger jeg at plage dem og bringe dem, hvad de frygter. For ingen svarede, da jeg kaldte; ingen hørte, da jeg talte; men de gjorde, hvad der var ondt i mine øjne, og valgte, hvad der var imod min vilje. | 4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. |
| 5 Hør Herrens ord, I, der skælver for hans ord! Således siger jeres brødre, der hader jer, og som støder jer bort for mit navns skyld: »Lad Herren vise sig i herlighed, så vi kan se jeres glæde;« men de skal blive til skamme. | 5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. |
| 6 Hør larmen fra byen, lyden fra templet! Hør, Herren gengælder sine fjenders gerning. | 6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompense to his enemies. |
| 7 Før hun får veer, har hun født; før smerterne kommer over hende, har hun bragt en dreng til verden. | 7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. |
| 8 Hvem har hørt mage, hvem har set dets lige? Kommer et land til verden på én dag? Fødes et folk på et øjeblik? Ja, Zion får veer og føder straks sine børn. | 8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. |
| 9 Skulle jeg åbne moderlivet uden at lade hende føde? siger Herren. Skulle jeg sætte fødslen i gang og hindre den igen? siger din Gud. | 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. |
| 10 Glæd jer med Jerusalem, fryd jer med hende, alle I, der elsker hende; tag del i hendes glæde, alle I, der sørgede over hende. | 10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: |
| 11 Så skal I drikke og mættes og finde ro ved hendes bryst, I skal die og glæde jer ved hendes dejlige bryst. | 11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. |
| 12 For dette siger Herren: Jeg leder til hende en flod af velstand og folkenes rigdom i en rivende strøm. Hendes børn skal bæres ved hoften og vugges på knæ. | 12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. |
| 13 Som en mor trøster sit barn, trøster jeg jer, så I finder trøst hos Jerusalem. | 13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. |
| 14 Når I ser det, skal jeres hjerte glæde sig, og jeres krop skal trives som græs. Da giver Herrens magt sig til kende for hans tjenere og hans vrede for hans fjender. | 14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies. |
| 15 For se, Herren kommer i ild, hans vogne er som et stormvejr; han slipper sin vrede løs i en brand og sin harme i flammende ild. | 15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. |
| 16 For Herren fælder dom over alle mennesker med ild og med sværd, og mange bliver dræbt af Herren. | 16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. |
| 17 De, der helliger sig og renser sig, når de går til haverne og søger én derinde, de, der æder svinekød og ækelt kryb og mus, de bliver alle sammen udryddet, siger Herren. | 17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD. |
| 18 Jeg kommer selv for at samle alle folk og sprog, og de skal komme og se min herlighed. | 18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory. |
| 19 Jeg sætter et tegn på dem og sender dem, der undslipper, ud til folkene i Tarshish, Pul, Lud, Meshek, Tubal, Javan og de fjerne øer, der ikke har hørt om mig og ikke har set min herlighed. De skal fortælle folkene om min herlighed, | 19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. |
| 20 og som en offergave til Herren skal de bringe alle jeres brødre fra alle folkene på heste, vogne, bærestole, muldyr og kameler til mit hellige-bjerg, Jerusalem, siger Herren, på samme måde som israelitterne bringer offergave til Herrens hus i rene kar. | 20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. |
| 21 Også blandt dem vil jeg tage nogle til præster og levitter, siger Herren. | 21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. |
| 22 For ligesom den nye himmel og den nye jord, som jeg skaber, skal bestå for mit ansigt, siger Herren, sådan skal jeres slægt og jeres navn bestå. | 22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. |
| 23 Hver måned på nymånedagen og hver uge på sabbatten skal alle mennesker komme for at tilbede mig, siger Herren. | 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. |
| 24 Og de skal gå ud og se på ligene af dem, der brød med mig. For deres maddiker dør ikke, og deres ild slukkes ikke. De skal være til afsky for alle mennesker. ' | 24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. |
