Isaiah 62
1 For Sion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for the sake of Jerusalem, I will not rest till her just one come forth as brightness, and her saviour be lighted as a lamp.
For Zions Skyld vil jeg ej tie, for Jerusalems skyld ej hvile før dets Ret rinder op som Lys, som en luende Fakkel dets Frelse.
2 And the Gentiles shall see thy just one, and all kings thy glorious one: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
Din Ret skal Folkene skue og alle Konger din Ære. Et nyt Navn giver man dig, som HERRENs Mund skal nævne.
3 And thou shalt be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Og du bliver en dejlig Krone i HERRENs Hånd, et kongeligt Hovedbind i Hånden på din Gud.
4 Thou shalt no more be called Forsaken: and thy land shall no more be called Desolate: but thou shalt be called My pleasure in her, and thy land inhabited. Because the Lord hath been well pleased with thee: and thy land shall be inhabited.
Du kaldes ej mer "den forladte", dit Land "den ensomme"; nej, "Velbehag" kaldes du selv, og dit Land kaldes "Hustru". Thi HERREN har Velbehag i dig, dit Land skal ægtes.
5 For the young man shall dwell with the virgin, and thy children shall dwell in thee. And the bridegroom shall rejoice over the bride, and thy God shall rejoice over thee.
Som Ynglingen ægter en Jomfru, så din Bygmester dig, som Brudgom glædes ved Brud, så din Gud ved dig.
6 Upon thy wails, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen all the day, and all the night, they shall never hold their peace. You that are mindful of the Lord, hold not your peace,
Jeg sætter Vægtere på dine Mure, Jerusalem; ingen Sinde bag eller Nat skal de tie. I, som minder HERREN, und jer ej Ro
7 And give him no silence till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
og lad ham ikke i Ro, før han bygger Jerusalem, før han får gjort Jerusalem til Pris på Jorden.
8 The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength: Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thy enemies: and the sons of the strangers shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured.
HERREN svor ved sin højre, sin vældige Arm: Jeg giver ej mer dine Fjender dit Korn til Føde; Mosten, du sled for, skal Udlandets Sønner ej drikke;
9 For they that gather it, shall eat it, and shall praise the Lord: and they that bring it together, shall drink it in my holy courts.
nej, de, der høster, skal spise prisende HERREN; de, der sanker, skal drikke i min hellige Forgård.
10 Go through, go through the gates, prepare the way for the people, make the road plain, pick out the stones, and lift up the standard to the people.
Drag ud gennem Portene, drag ud, ban Folket Vej, byg Vej, byg Vej, sank alle Stenene af, rejs Banner over Folkeslagene!
11 Behold the Lord hath made it to be heard in the ends of the earth, tell the daughter of Sion: Behold thy Saviour cometh: behold his reward is with him, and his work before him.
Se, HERREN lader det høres til Jordens Ende: Sig til Zions Datter: "Se, din Frelse kommer, se, hans Løn er med ham, hans Vinding foran ham!"
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, the redeemed of the Lord. But thou shalt be called: A city sought after, and not forsaken.
De skal kaldes: det hellige Folk, HERRENs genløste, og du: den søgte, en By, som ej er forladt.
