Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
Et Udsagn: "Synernes Dal". Hvad tænker du på, siden alle stiger op på Tagene,
2 O thou that art full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; thy slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.
du larmende, støjende By, du jublende Stad? Dine slagne er vel ikke sværdslagne, døde i Krig!
3 All thy rulers fled away together, they were bound by the archers: all that were found of thee were bound together, they fled afar off.
Alle dine Høvdinger flygted, flyed langt bort, alle dine Helte, væbnet med Buer, blev fanget.
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me, for the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
Derfor siger jeg: Gå fra mig, lad mig græde bittert, træng ej på for at trøste mig over, at mit Folk er lagt øde!
5 For it is a day of discomfiture, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, the LORD of hosts, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.
Thi en Dag, da man, ræddes, trædes og trænges, har Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, til Rede! I Synernes Dal brødes Mure ned, mod Bjerget hørtes Skrig;
6 And Elam bare the quiver, with chariots of men [and] horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
Elam løftede Koggeret, Aram satte sig til Hest, Kir tog Skjoldene ud;
7 And it came to pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
og de bedste iblandt dine Dale fyldtes med Vogne og Heste, lige til Porten stod de.
8 And he took away the covering of Judah; and thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest.
Han borttog Judas Værn. På den Dag så I hen til Skovhusets Rustkammer,
9 And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
og I så, hvor mange Revner der var i Davidsbyen. I samlede Nedredammens Vand,
10 and ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye brake down the houses to fortify the wall.
gik Jerusalems Huse igennem og rev Husene ned for at gøre Muren stærk.
11 ye made also a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye looked not unto him that had done this, neither had ye respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.
I gravede mellem de to Mure en Fordybning til den gamle Dams Vand. Men til ham, der virked det, skued I ikke, så ej hen til ham, som beredte det for længst.
12 And in that day did the Lord, the LORD of hosts, call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
På hin Dag kaldte Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, til Gråd og Sorg, til Hovedragning og Sæk.
13 and behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.
Men se, der er Fryd og Glæde, man slår Okser ned, slagter Får, æder Kød og får Vin at drikke: "Lad os æde og drikke, thi i Morgen dør vi!"
14 And the LORD of hosts revealed himself in mine ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
Men Hærskarers HERRE åbenbared for mit Øre: "Den Synd," siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, "får I ikke sonet, førend I dør!"
15 Thus saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, [and say],
Så siger Herren, Hærskarers HERRE: Gå hen og sig til denne Foged, Slotshøvedsmanden Sjebna:
16 What doest thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out here a sepulchre? hewing him out a sepulchre on high, graving an habitation for himself in the rock!
Hvad har du her, og hvem har du her, at du her udhugger din Grav, udhugger dig en Grav højt oppe, huler dig en Bolig i Klippen!
17 Behold, the LORD will hurl thee away violently as a [strong] man; yea, he will wrap thee up closely.
Se, HERREN slynger dig bort og bøjer dig sammen, du stolte,
18 He will surely turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, thou shame of thy lord’s house.
han knytter dig sammen til et Knytte og kaster dig ud i et vidtstrakt Land! Der skal du dø, der din Æresvogn komme, du Skændsel for din Herres Hus!
19 And I will thrust thee from thine office, and from thy station shall he pull thee down.
Jeg støder dig bort fra din Stilling og styrter dig fra din Post.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
Men på hin Dag kalder jeg min Tjener Eljakim, Hilkijas Søn,
21 and I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
og iklæder ham din Kjortel, omgjorder ham med dit Bælte og lægger din Myndighed i hans Hånd. Han skal blive en Fader for Jerusalems Indbyggere og Judas Hus.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Jeg lægger Nøglen til Davids Hus på hans Skulder; når han lukker op, skal ingen lukke i, og når han lukker i, skal ingen lukke op,
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.
Jeg fæster ham som en Nagle på et sikkert Sted, og han skal blive til Hæder for sit Fædrenehus.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the vessels of cups even to all the vessels of flagons.
Men hænger hans Fædrenehus's hele Vægt sig på ham, Skud og Vildskud, alle Småkar, fra Fadene til alle Krukkerne,
25 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall, and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for the LORD hath spoken it.
så skal det ske på den Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, at Naglen, der var fæstet på et sikkert Sted, giver efter, rives ud og falder ned, og hele Vægten, som hænger derpå, skal slås sønder. Thi HERREN har talet!
