Isaiah 14
1 [But] Yahweh will act mercifully toward the Israeli people; he will choose [the people of] Israel [to be his people again], and he will allow them to [return here and] live in their own land again. Then people from [many] other countries will come here and unite with the Israeli people.
For Herren skal miskunna Jakob og endå ein gong velja ut Israel og lata deim koma til ro i landet deira; og utlendingar skal sameina seg med deim og halda seg til Jakobs hus.
2 People of other nations will help them to return to their [own] land, and those who come from other countries will (work for/become the servants of) the Israeli people. Those who captured people of Israel will be captured by Israeli soldiers, and the people of Israel will rule over the people who [previously] oppressed them.
Og folkeslag skal taka deim og føra deim heim att; men Israels hus skal leggja deim under seg som ein arvlut i Herrens land, og skal gjera deim til trælar og trælkvinnor. Dei skal få fangevaktarane sine til fangar og råda yver valdsherrarne sine.
3 Some day Yahweh will free you [Israeli people] from suffering and trouble and from being afraid, and from being cruelly treated as slaves [MTY].
På den dagen, då Herren gjev deg kvild for di møda og din angest og frå den harde trældomen din, som vart lagd på deg,
4 When that happens, you will make fun of the King of Babylon by saying this: “You treated us cruelly, but that has ended! Your insolently causing others to suffer is finished!
då skal du syngja denne spottevisa um kongen i Babel og kveda: «Kor hev ikkje valdsherren vorte still og pinestaden tagall!
5 You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
Herren hev brote sund staven åt dei gudlause, kongsstaven åt hardstyrarane,
6 You attacked people many times because you were very angry with them, and you subdued/conquered [other] nations by causing them to suffer endlessly.
som slo folkeslag i harm med slag på slag og bøygde folk under seg i vreide og trælka deim utan nåde.
7 [But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
All jordi nyt no kvild og ro; dei bryt ut i fagnadrop.
8 [It will be as though] even the trees in the forests will joyfully sing this song, the cyprus/pine [trees] and the cedar [trees] in Lebanon will sing it: ‘You (have been overthrown/are no longer a ruler), and now no one comes to get rid of us [MET].’
Jamvel cypressarne gled seg yver deg, cedrarne på Libanon: «Sidan du no ligg der, stig ingen hitupp og høgg oss ned.»
9 The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol h7585)
Helheim der nede vert uroa for di skuld, når han skal taka imot deg. Han vekkjer skuggarne for di skuld, alle fyrstar på jordi; alle folkekongarne reisar seg frå sine kongsstolar. (Sheol h7585)
10 They will all shout to you [together], ‘Now you are as weak as we are!’
Alle so tek dei til ords og segjer til deg: «So er du og vorten magtlaus som me, no er du vår like!»
11 You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol h7585)
Ned til helheimen hev din herlegdom sokke med brusen frå dine harpor; du ligg på ei roti lega, hev makkar til yverbreidsla. (Sheol h7585)
12 You have [disappeared from the earth like] [MET] a star which has fallen from the sky; you [were very well-known] [like] [MET] the morning star [which is seen by everyone]; you destroyed [many] nations, but now you have been destroyed.
Kor er du’kje fallen frå himmelen, du strålande morgonstjerna, kor er du ikkje felt til jordi, du som slo ned folkeslag!
13 You [proudly] said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven, to my throne above God’s stars. I will rule on the mountain where [the gods] gather together, far in the north.
Det var du som sagde i hjarta ditt: «Eg vil stiga til himmels, høgt yver Guds stjernor vil eg reisa kongsstolen min. Eg vil setja meg på Tingfjellet lengst uppe i nord!
14 I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
eg vil stiga upp um skyborgi og gjera meg lik den Høgste.»
15 [But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Ja, til helheimen laut du fara, lengst ned i svartaste hola. (Sheol h7585)
16 The [other dead] people there stare at you; they wonder what happened to you. [They say], ‘Is this the man who caused the earth to shake and caused the [people in many] kingdoms to tremble?
Dei som ser deg, stirer på deg, undrast og segjer: «Er dette den mannen som skok jordi og fekk kongerike til å skjelva,
17 Is this the man who [tried to] cause the world to become a desert, who conquered its cities and did not allow the people whom he captured to return to their homes?’
han som gjorde jordkringen til ei øydemark, jamna byarne med jordi, og som aldri gav fangarne heimlov?»
18 All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
Folkekongarne dei ligg alle vyrdeleg gravlagde kvar i sitt kvilerom.
19 but your [corpse will] not be buried; it will be thrown away like [SIM] a worthless branch [of a tree]. Your corpse will be under a heap of other corpses of soldiers that were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and [their corpses] were not buried; you will be with those who have gone down to the stony ground in a big pit.
Men du er slengd ut, langt frå gravi di, som ei vanvyrd grein; du ligg yverbreidd med drepne, av sverdslegne menner - som vert kasta ned i ei steingrav - som ein nedtrakka daudskrott.
20 Your [corpse] will not be buried because you have destroyed your nation and have caused your people to be killed. The descendants of wicked people [like you] will never be honored again.
Nei, du fær ikkje vera saman med deim i gravi; for landet ditt hev du øydt og drepe ditt folk, og aldri meir skal nemnast det nidingseldet.
21 [People will say], ‘Slaughter this man’s children because of the sins that their ancestors committed! Do not allow them to become rulers and conquer [all the nations in] the world, and fill the world with the cities [that they rule]!’”
Gjev sønerne hans til dreping for misgjerdi åt deira feder! Ikkje skal dei få reisa seg og eigna til seg jordi og fylla verdi med byar!»
22 [This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “I [myself] will cause Babylon to be conquered. I will get rid of Babylon and its people and their descendants.
Eg vil reisa meg imot deim, segjer Herren, allhers drott, og eg skal rydja ut or Babel både namn og leivning, både born og barneborn, segjer Herren.
23 I will cause Babylon to be a place where owls live, a place full of swamps; I will get rid of it completely [as though] [MET] I were sweeping it with a broom. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.”
Eg gjer det til heim for bustyvelen, og vil fylla det med søkkjemyrar, eg skal sopa det burt med tynings-sopa, segjer Herren, allhers drott.
24 The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
Herren, allhers drott, hev svore og sagt: I sanning som eg hev tenkt, soleis skal det verta, og det eg hev sett meg fyre, det skal hava framgang.
25 [When the army of] Assyria is in my land [of Israel], I will crush them. [It will be as though] I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria; [it will be as though] [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.
Eg vil krasa Assur i landet mitt og trakka honom under fot på fjelli mine. So skal oket hans verta burtteke, og byrdi hans lyft av herdarne deira.
26 I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
Dette er den råd som Herren hev teke mot all jordi; og dette er den hand som er utrett mot alle folk.
27 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken, and no one can [RHQ] change my mind. When I raise my fist [to strike Assyria], no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me [from doing that].”
For Herren, allhers drott, hev avgjort det; kven kann gjera det um inkje? Hans hand er det som er utrett; kven kann venda henne burt?
28 I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
Det året kong Ahaz døydde, kom denne framsegni:
29 You people of Philistia, do not rejoice that the enemy army [MET] that attacked you has been defeated and that their king is dead. He was [as dangerous as] [MET] a snake, but there will be another king, who will be more [dangerous] than a cobra; he will be [like] [MET] a quick-moving poisonous snake.
Gled deg ikkje, alt Filistarland, for di staven som slo deg er sundbroten! for or roti åt hoggormen skal det koma fram ein basilisk, og hans frukt skal verta ein fljugande eiterorm.
30 Those of my people who are very poor will take care of their flocks of sheep, and the needy people will lie down safely, but I will cause you people [of Philistia] who are still alive [DOU] to die from famine.
Dei armaste av dei arme skal finna rikeleg føda, og dei fatige få kvila i trygd! men di rot skal eg døyda med hunger, og leivningen av deg skal drepast.
31 [So], you people of Philistia, wail at the gates of your cities! You should be extremely afraid, because [a very powerful army] will come from the north [to attack you]; [their chariots will stir up the dust like] [MET] a cloud of smoke. Each of their soldiers is ready to fight.
Jamra deg, du port! øya deg, du by! Miss modet, alt Filistarland! For nordan ifrå kjem ein røyk! i fiendeskararne dreg ingen seg att-or.
32 If messengers [from Philistia] come to us [Israeli people], this is what we must [RHQ] tell them: “Yahweh has established Jerusalem, [not Philistia], and his people who are oppressed will be safe inside [the walls of] Jerusalem.”
Kva skal ein då svara sendemennerne frå heidningfolki? At Herren hev grunnfest Sion, og at der finn armingarne i folket hans livd.
