Esajas 2
1 Dette er det Ord, som Esajas, Amoz's Søn, saa om Juda og Jerusalem.
The word that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Og det skal ske i de sidste Dage, at Herrens Hus's Bjerg skal være grundfæstet oven paa Bjergene og ophøjet over Højene; og alle Hedninger skulle strømme til det.
And in the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be prepared at the summit of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills, and all the nations shall flow to it.
3 Og mange Folkeslag skulle komme og sige: Kommer, og lader os gaa op til Herrens Bjerg, til Jakobs Guds Hus, at han maa lære os sine Veje, at vi maa vandre paa hans Stier; thi fra Zion skal udgaa Lov og Herrens Ord fra Jerusalem.
And many peoples will go, and they will say: “Let us approach and ascend to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob. And he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 Og han skal dømme imellem Hedningerne og holde Ret for mange Folkeslag, og de skulle omsmede deres Sværd til Hakker og deres Spyd til Haveknive; et Folk skal ikke løfte Sværd imod et andet, og de skulle ikke ydermere øve sig i Krig.
And he will judge the nations, and he will rebuke many peoples. And they shall forge their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they continue to train for battle.
5 Jakobs Hus! kommer, og lader os vandre i Herrens Lys! —
O house of Jacob, let us approach and walk in the light of the Lord.
6 Men du har forskudt dit Folk, Jakobs Hus; thi de have fuldt op af Østens Væsen og ere Tegnsudlæggere som Filisterne, og de have Behag i de fremmedes Børn.
For you have cast aside your people, the house of Jacob, because they have been filled up, as in past times, and because they have had soothsayers as the Philistines have, and because they have joined themselves to foreign servants.
7 Og deres Land fyldtes med Sølv og Guld, og der er ingen Ende paa deres Liggendefæ; og deres Land fyldtes med Heste, og der er ingen Ende paa deres Vogne.
Their land has been filled with silver and gold. And there is no end to their storehouses.
8 Og deres Land fyldtes med Afguder; de tilbede deres Hænders Gerning, det, som deres Fingre have gjort.
And their land has been filled with horses. And their four-horse chariots are innumerable. And their land has been filled with idols. They have adored the work of their hands, which their own fingers have made.
9 Derfor nedbøjes Mennesket og Manden fornedres, og du tilgive dem det ej!
And man has bowed himself down, and so man has become debased. Therefore, you should not forgive them.
10 Gak ind i Klippen og skjul dig i Støvet for Herrens Frygts Skyld og for hans Majestæts Herligheds Skyld.
Enter into the rock, and hide in a ditch in the soil, from the presence of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 Et Menneskes stolte Øjne skulle ydmyges, og Mændenes Højhed skal nedbøjes; men Herren skal alene være høj paa den Dag.
The lofty eyes of man have been humbled, and the haughtiness of men will be bowed down. Then the Lord alone shall be exalted, in that day.
12 Thi den Herre Zebaoths Dag skal komme over hver hovmodig og høj og over hver ophøjet, at han skal fornedres,
For the day of the Lord of hosts will prevail over all the proud and self-exalted, and over all the arrogant, and each one shall be humbled,
13 og over alle de høje og anselige Cedre paa Libanon og over alle Ege i Basan
and over all the straight and tall cedars of Lebanon, and over all the oaks of Bashan;
14 og over alle høje Bjerge og over alle anselige Høje
and over all the lofty mountains, and over all the elevated hills;
15 og over hvert højt Taarn og over hver fast Mur
and over every lofty tower, and over every fortified wall;
16 og over alle Tharsis's Skibe og over alt, hvad der er lysteligt at skue.
and over all the ships of Tarshish, and over all the beauty that may be seen.
17 Og Menneskets Højhed skal nedbøjes, og Mændenes Højhed skal fornedres; og Herren skal alene være høj paa den Dag.
And the loftiness of men will be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men will be brought low. And the Lord alone shall be exalted, in that day.
18 Og med Afguderne skal det være aldeles forbi.
And idols will be thoroughly crushed.
19 Og de skulle gaa ind i Klippers Huler og i Jordens Kuler for Herrens Frygts Skyld og for hans Majestæts Herligheds Skyld, naar han rejser sig for at forfærde Jorden.
And they will go into the caves of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, from the presence of the dread of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he will have risen up to strike the earth.
20 Paa den Dag skal Mennesket kaste sine Sølvafguder og sine Guldafguder, som de have gjort sig for at tilbede, bort til Muldvarpene og til Aftenbakkerne,
In that day, man shall cast aside his idols of silver and his images of gold, which he had made for himself, as if to reverence the moles and the bats.
21 for at ty ind i Klippernes Kløfter, i Fjeldenes Huler for Herrens Frygts Skyld og for hans Majestæts Herligheds Skyld, naar han rejser sig for at forfærde jorden.
And so he will go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of stone, from the presence of the dread of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he will have risen up to strike the earth.
22 Slaar ikke længer eders Lid til Mennesket, som har Aande i sin Næse; thi for hvad er vel han at agte?
Therefore, rest away from man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he considers himself to be exalted.
