Isaiah 65
1 I let myself be consulted by people who weren't even asking me questions; I let myself be found by people who weren't even looking for me. To a nation that wasn't even calling for me, I said, “I'm here, I'm here!”
Jeg havde Svar til dem, som ej spurgte, var at finde for dem, som ej søgte; jeg sagde: "Se her, her er jeg!" til et Folk, der ej påkaldte mig.
2 I spread out my hands all day long, pleading with a stubborn people who follow bad ways, doing whatever they choose.
Jeg udbredte Dagen lang Hænderne til et genstridigt Folk, der vandrer en Vej, som er ond, en Vej efter egne Tanker,
3 These people are always making me angry, because they present sacrifices to idols in their sacred gardens, and offer incense on pagan altars made of brick.
et Folk, som uden Ophør krænker mig op i mit Åsyn, som slagter Ofre i Haver, lader Offerild lue på Teglsten,
4 They spend the night among the graves and in caves, eating pork and cooking other unclean meats.
som tager Sæde i Grave og om Natten er på skjulte Steder, som spiser Svinekød og har væmmelige Ting i deres Skåle,
5 They tell others, “Keep your distance! Don't come close to me as I'm too holy to be touched by you!” These people are like smoke in my nostrils, a stink burning all day long!
som siger: "Bliv mig fra Livet, rør mig ej, jeg gør dig hellig!" De Folk er som Røg i min Næse, en altid luende Ild;
6 Look—it's all written down right in front of me! I'm not going to keep quiet. I'm going to pay them back by throwing their punishment into their laps.
se, det står skrevet for mit Åsyn, jeg tier ej, før jeg får betalt det, betalt dem i deres Brystfold
7 I'm going to pay you back for both your own sins and the sins of your forefathers, says the Lord, because they burned incense on the mountains and ridiculed me on the hills. I'm going to measure into their laps full payment for what they've done.
deres egen og Fædrenes Brøde, begge med hinanden, siger HERREN, de, som tændte Offerild på Bjergene og viste mig Hån på Højene: deres Løn vil jeg tilmåle dem, betale dem i deres Brystfold.
8 This is what the Lord says: It's like when there's a bit of juice left in a bunch of grapes and people say, “Don't get rid of it all; there's still some good in it,” I'll do the same for my servants—I won't destroy them all.
Så siger HERREN: Som man, når der findes Saft i Druen, siger: "Læg den ej øde, thi der er Velsignelse deri!" så gør jeg for mine Tjeneres Skyld for ikke at ødelægge alt.
9 I will make sure Jacob has descendants, and people from Judah who can take ownership of my mountain. My chosen ones, my servants, will own the land and live there.
Sæd lader jeg gro af Jakob og af Juda mine Bjerges Arving; dem skal mine udvalgte arve, der skal mine Tjenere bo;
10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to rest, for my people who follow me.
Saron bliver Småkvægets Græsgang, i Akors Dal skal Hornkvæget ligge for mit Folk, som opsøger mig.
11 But those of you who desert the Lord and forget about my holy mountain, who prepare feasts for the god of good luck, who fill jugs of mixed wine for the god of destiny,
Men I, som svigter HERREN og glemmer mit hellige Bjerg, dækker Bord for Lykkeguden, blander Drikke for Skæbneguden,
12 I will make sure your destiny is to be killed by the sword. All of you will bow down to be slaughtered, because I called out to you but you didn't answer; I spoke to you, but you didn't listen. Instead you did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
jeg giver jer Sværdet i Vold, I skal alle knæle til Slagtning, fordi I ej svared, da jeg kaldte, ej hørte, endskønt jeg taled, men gjorde, hvad der vakte mit Mishag, valgte, hvad ej var min Vilje.
13 So this is what the Lord says, My servants will eat, but you will go hungry. My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty. My servants will celebrate, but you will feel ashamed.
Derfor, så siger den Herre HERREN: Se, mine Tjenere skal spise, men I skal sulte, se, mine Tjenere skal drikke, men I skal tørste, se, mine Tjenere skal glædes, men I skal beskæmmes,
14 Listen! My servants will shout because they're so happy inside, but you will cry out in deepest pain, howling because your spirit is broken.
se, mine Tjenere skal juble af Hjertens Fryd, men I skal skrige af Hjerteve, jamre af sønderbrudt Ånd.
15 Your name will only be used as a curse by my chosen ones, for the Lord God will kill you and give his servants another name.
Eders Navn skal I efterlade mine udvalgte som Forbandelsesord: "Den Herre HERREN give dig slig en Død!" Men mine Tjenere skal kaldes med et andet Navn.
16 Whoever asks a blessing or takes an oath in the land will do so by the one true God, for I have forgotten the troubles of the past—I don't look on them anymore.
Den, som velsigner sig i Landet, velsigner sig ved den trofaste Gud, og den, der sværger i Landet, sværger ved den trofaste Gud; thi glemt er de fordums Trængsler, skjult for mit Blik.
17 Look! I'm going to create new heavens and a new earth. The former things won't be remembered—they won't cross anyone's mind!
Thi se, jeg skaber nye Himle og en ny Jord, det gamle huskes ej mer, rinder ingen i Hu;
18 Be glad, and be happy forever and ever in what I'm going to create, for I will make Jerusalem a delightful place, and its people a real joy.
men man frydes og jubler evigt over det, jeg skaber, thi se, jeg skaber Jerusalem til Jubel, dets Folk til Fryd;
19 I will be so happy over Jerusalem; I will celebrate among my people. The sound of weeping and cries for help won't ever be heard there again.
jeg skal juble over Jerusalem og frydes ved mit Folk; der skal ej mer høres Gråd, ej heller Skrig.
20 No babies will die after just a few days, and no adults will die without having lived a long life. Those who reach a hundred will be thought of as just a child, and anyone who doesn't reach a hundred will be seen as being under a curse.
Der skal ikke være Børn, der dør som spæde, eller Olding, som ikke når sine Dages Tal thi den yngste, som dør, er hundred År, og forbandet er den, som ej når de hundred.
21 They will build houses and live in them; they will eat the fruit of the vineyards they themselves planted.
Da bygger de Huse og bor der selv, planter Vin og spiser dens Frugt;
22 No longer will they build houses for others to live in; no longer will they plant for others to eat. For my people will live as long as trees do; my chosen ones will live long enough to enjoy all they've worked for.
de bygger ej, for at andre kan bo, de planter ej, for at andre kan spise; thi mit Folk skal opnå Træets Alder, mine udvalgte bruge, hvad de virker med Hånd;
23 They won't work for nothing, and they won't have children destined for disaster. For they are people living under the blessing of the Lord, and their children will be too.
de skal ikke have Møje forgæves, ej avle Børn til brat Død; thi de er HERRENs velsignede Æt og har deres Afkom hos sig.
24 I will reply even before they ask me. While they are still speaking, I will answer them!
Førend de kalder, svarer jeg; endnu mens de taler, hører jeg.
25 The wolf and the lamb will eat together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The snakes will eat dust. Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
Ulv og Lam skal græsse sammen og Løven æde Strå som Oksen, men Slangen får Støv til Brød; der gøres ej ondt og voldes ej Men i hele mit hellige Bjergland, siger HERREN.
