< Esajas 11 >

1 Men der skyder en Kvist af Isajs Stub, et Skud gror frem af hans Rod;
And a Rod has come out from the stock of Jesse, And a Branch is fruitful from his roots.
2 og HERRENs Ånd skal hvile over ham, Visdoms og Forstands Ånd, Råds og Styrkes Ånd, HERRENs Kundskabs og Frygts Ånd.
The Spirit of YHWH has rested on Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and fear of YHWH.
3 Hans Hu står til HERRENs Frygt; han dømmer ej efter, hvad Øjnene ser, skønner ej efter, hvad Ørene hører.
To refresh Him in the fear of YHWH, And He does not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decides by the hearing of His ears.
4 Han dømmer de ringe med Retfærd, fælder redelig Dom over Landets arme. Voldsmanden slår han med Mundens Ris, gudløse dræber han med Læbernes Ånde.
And He has judged the poor in righteousness, And decided for the humble of earth in uprightness, And has struck earth with the rod of His mouth, And He puts the wicked to death with the breath of His lips.
5 Og Retfærd er Bæltet, han har om sin Lænd, Trofasthed Hofternes Bælte.
And righteousness has been the girdle of His loins, And faithfulness—the girdle of His reins.
6 Og Ulven skal gå hos Lammet, Panteren hvile hos Kiddet, Kalven og Ungløven græsse sammen, dem driver en lille Dreng.
“And a wolf has sojourned with a lamb, And a leopard lies down with a kid, And calf, and young lion, and fatling [are] together, And a little youth is leader over them.
7 Kvien og Bjørnen bliver Venner, deres Unger ligger Side om Side, og Løven æder Strå som Oksen;
And cow and bear feed, Together their young ones lie down, And a lion eats straw as an ox.
8 den spæde skal lege ved Øglens Hul, den afvante række sin Hånd til Giftslangens Rede.
And a suckling has played by the hole of a cobra, And on the den of a viper The weaned one has put his hand.
9 Der gøres ej ondt og voldes ej Men i hele mit hellige Bjergland; thi Landet er fuldt af HERRENs Kundskab, som Vandene dækker Havets Bund.
They do no evil, nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth has been full with the knowledge of YHWH, As the waters are covering the sea.”
10 På hin Dag skal Hedningerne søge til Isajs Rodskud, der står som et Banner for Folkeslagene, og hans Bolig skal være herlig.
And there has been, in that day, A Root of Jesse that is standing for an ensign of peoples, Nations seek Him, And His rest has been glorious!
11 På hin Dag skal Herren atter udrække sin Hånd for at vinde, hvad der er til Rest af hans Folk, fra Assur og fra Ægypten, fra Patros, Ætiopien og Elam, fra Sinear, Hamat og Havets Strande.
And it has come to pass in that day, The Lord adds His power a second time, To get the remnant of His people that is left, From Asshur, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from Cush, And from Elam, and from Shinar, And from Hamath, and from islands of the sea,
12 For Folkene rejser han Banner, samler Israels bortdrevne Mænd, sanker Judas spredte Kvinder fra Verdens fire Hjørner.
And He has lifted up an ensign to nations, And gathers the driven away of Israel, And He assembles the scattered of Judah, From the four wings of the earth.
13 Efraims Skinsyge viger, og Judas Avind svinder; Efraim er ikke skinsygt på Juda, og Juda bærer ej Avind mod Efraim.
And has turned aside the envy of Ephraim, And the adversaries of Judah are cut off, Ephraim does not envy Judah, And Judah does not distress Ephraim.
14 I Vest slår de ned på Filisternes Skulder, sammen plyndrer de Østens Sønner, mod Edom og Moab rækker de Hånden, Ammons Sønner lyder dem.
And they have flown on the shoulder of the Philistines westward, Together they spoil the sons of the east, Edom and Moab sending forth their hand, And sons of Ammon obeying them.
15 HERREN udtørrer Ægypterhavets Vig og svinger Hånden mod Floden i sin Ånds Vælde; han kløver den i syv Bække, så man kan gå over med Sko;
And YHWH has devoted to destruction The tongue of the Sea of Egypt, And has waved His hand over the river, In the terror of His wind, And has struck it at the seven streams, And has caused [men] to tread [it] with shoes.
16 der bliver en banet Vej for dem af hans Folk, som levnes fra Assyrien, således som der var for Israel, da det drog op fra Ægypten.
And there has been a highway, For the remnant of His people that is left, from Asshur, As there was for Israel in the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt!
