Esajas 45
1 Så siger HERREN til sin Salvede, til Kyros, hvis højre jeg greb for at nedstyrte Folk for hans Ansigt og løsne Kongernes Gjord, for at åbne Dørene for ham, så Portene ikke var stængt:
Thus he says Yahweh to anointed his to Cyrus whom I have taken hold on right [hand] his to subdue before him nations and [the] loins of kings I will loosen to open before him doors and gates not they will be shut.
2 Selv går jeg frem foran dig, Hindringer jævner jeg ud; jeg sprænger Porte af Kobber og sønderhugger Slåer af Jern.
I before you I will go and [the] mountainous land (I will make smooth *Qk) doors of bronze I will break and bars of iron I will cut through.
3 Jeg giver dig Mulmets Skatte, Rigdomme gemt i Løn, så du kender, at den, der kaldte dig ved Navn, er mig, er HERREN, Israels Gud.
And I will give to you treasures of darkness and hidden treasures of secret places so that you may know that I [am] Yahweh who calls by name your [the] God of Israel.
4 For Jakobs, min Tjeners, Skyld, for min udvalgtes, Israels, Skyld kalder jeg dig ved dit Navn, ved et Æresnavn, skønt du ej kender mig.
For [the] sake of servant my Jacob and Israel chosen one my and I summoned you by name your I will give a title you and not you know me.
5 HERREN er jeg, ellers ingen, uden mig er der ingen Gud; jeg omgjorder dig, endskønt du ej kender mig,
I [am] Yahweh and there not [is] yet besides me there not [is] a god I will gird you and not you know me.
6 så de kender fra Solens Opgang til dens Nedgang: der er ingen uden mig. HERREN er jeg, ellers ingen,
So that they may know from [the] rising of [the] sun and from setting place its that nothing [is] apart from me I [am] Yahweh and there not [is] yet.
7 Lysets Ophav og Mørkets Skaber, Velfærds Kilde og Ulykkes Skaber: Jeg er HERREN, der virker alt.
[who] forms Light and [who] creates darkness [who] brings about well-being and [who] creates calamity I [am] Yahweh [who] does all these [things].
8 Lad regne, I Himle deroppe, nedsend Retfærd, I Skyer, Jorden åbne sit Skød, så Frelse må spire frem og Retfærd vokse tillige. Jeg, HERREN, lader det ske.
Drip down O heaven above and clouds let them flow righteousness let it open up [the] earth so they may bear fruit salvation and righteousness let it cause to sprout together I Yahweh I have created it.
9 Ve den, der trættes med sit Ophav, et Skår kun blandt Skår af Jord! Siger Ler til Pottemager: "Hvad kan du lave?" hans Værk: "Du har ikke Hænder!"
Woe to! [one who] contends with [the one who] formed him a potsherd with potsherds of [the] ground ¿ does it say clay to [the one who] forms it what? are you making and work your not hands [belong] to him.
10 Ve den, der siger til sin Fader: "Hvad kan du avle?" til sin Moder: "Hvad kan du føde?"
Woe to! [one who] says to a father what? are you fathering and to a woman what? are you in labor with!
11 Så siger HERREN, Israels Hellige, Fremtidens Ophav: I spørger mig om mine Børn, for mine Hænders Værk vil I råde!
Thus he says Yahweh [the] holy [one] of Israel and [the] [one who] formed it the coming [things] ask me on children my and on [the] work of hands my you command me.
12 Det var mig, som dannede Jorden og skabte Mennesket på den; mine Hænder udspændte Himlen, jeg opbød al dens Hær;
I I made [the] earth and humankind on it I created I hands my they stretched out [the] heavens and all host their I commanded.
13 det var mig, som vakte ham i Retfærd, jeg jævner alle hans Veje; han skal bygge min By og give mine bortførte fri ikke for Løn eller Gave, siger Hærskarers HERRE.
I I have stirred up him in righteousness and all ways his I will make smooth he he will build city my and exile[s] my he will let go not for hire and not for a bribe he says Yahweh of hosts.
14 Så siger HERREN: Ægyptens Løn, Ætiopiens Vinding, Sebæernes granvoksne Mænd, de skal komme og tilhøre dig, og dig skal de følge; de skal komme i Lænker og kaste sig ned for dig og bønfalde dig: "Kun hos dig er Gud, der er ingen anden Gud."
Thus - he says Yahweh [the] produce of Egypt and [the] traffic of Cush and [the] Sabeans people of stature to you they will pass over and to you they will belong behind you they will walk in fetters they will pass over and to you they will bow down to you they will pray surely [is] among you God and there not [is] yet there not [are] gods.
15 Sandelig, du er en Gud, som er skjult, Israels Gud er en Frelser!
Truly you [are] a God [who] hides himself O God of Israel deliverer.
16 Skam og Skændsel bliver alle hans Fjender til Del, til Hobe går Gudemagerne om med Skændsel.
They will be ashamed and also they will be put to shame all of them alike they will walk in ignominy craftsmen of images.
17 Israel frelses ved HERREN, en evig Frelse, i Evighed bliver I ikke til Skam og Skændsel.
Israel it has been saved by Yahweh a salvation of everlastingness not you will be ashamed and not you will be put to shame until everlastingness of perpetuity.
18 Thi så siger HERREN, Himlens Skaber, han, som er Gud, som dannede Jorden, frembragte, grundfæsted den, ej skabte den øde, men danned den til at bebos: HERREN er jeg, ellers ingen.
For thus he says Yahweh [who] created the heavens he [is] God [who] formed the earth and [who] made it he he established it not a wasteland he created it to dwell in he formed it I [am] Yahweh and there not [is] yet.
19 Jeg talede ikke i Løndom, i Mørkets Land, sagde ikke til Jakobs Æt: "Søg mig forgæves!" Jeg, HERREN, taler hvad ret er, forkynder, hvad sandt er.
Not in secrecy I spoke in a place of a land of darkness not I said to [the] offspring of Jacob emptiness seek me I Yahweh [am] speaking righteousness [I am] declaring uprightness.
20 Kom samlede hid, træd frem til Hobe, I Folkenes undslupne! Uvidende er de, som bærer et Billede af Træ, de, som beder til en Gud, der ikke kan frelse.
Gather together and come draw near together O fugitives of the nations not they know those [who] carry [the] wood of idol their and [those who] pray to a god [which] not it will save.
21 Forkynd det, kom frem dermed, lad dem rådslå sammen: Hvo kundgjorde dette tilforn, forkyndte det forud? Mon ikke jeg, som er HERREN? Uden mig er der ingen Gud, uden mig er der ingen retfærdig, frelsende Gud.
Declare and bring near also let them take counsel together who? did he proclaim this from antiquity from then did he declare? it ¿ not [was it] I Yahweh and there not again [is] a god except me [is] a God righteous and a deliverer there not besides me.
22 Vend dig til mig og bliv frelst, du vide Jord, thi Gud er jeg, ellers ingen;
Turn to me and be saved O all [the] ends of [the] earth for I [am] God and there not [is] yet.
23 jeg svor ved mig selv, fra min Mund kom Sandhed, mit Ord vender ikke tilbage: Hvert Knæ skal bøjes for mig, hver Tunge sværge mig til.
By myself I swear it goes forth from mouth my righteousness a word and not it will return that to me it will bow down every knee it will swear every tongue.
24 "Kun hos HERREN," skal man sige, "er Retfærd og Styrke; til ham skal alle hans Avindsmænd komme med Skam."
Only [are] in Yahweh of me anyone will say righteousness and strength to him everyone will go and they may be ashamed all those [who] are angry with him.
25 Ved HERREN når al Israels Æt til sin Ret og jubler.
By Yahweh they will be justified and they may boast all [the] offspring of Israel.
