¹Dette er, hvad Esajas, Amoz's Søn, skuede om Jerusalem:

¹The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

²Det skal ske i de sidste Dage, at HERRENs Huses Bjerg, grundfæstet på Bjergenes Top, skal løfte sig op over Højene. Did skal Folkene strømme

²And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, Established is the mount of Jehovah`s house, Above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And flowed unto it have all the nations.

³og talrige Folkeslag vandre: "Kom, lad os drage til HERRENs Bjerg, til Jakobs Guds Hus; han skal lære os sine Veje, så vi kan gå på hans Stier; thi fra Zion udgår Åbenbaring, fra Jerusalem, HERRENs Ord:"

³And gone have many peoples and said, `Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

⁴Da dømmer han Folk imellem, skifter Ret mellem talrige Folkeslag; deres Sværd skal de smede til Plovjern, deres Spyd til Vingårdsknive; Folk skal ej løfte Sværd mod Folk, ej øve sig i Våbenfærd mer.

⁴And He hath judged between the nations, And hath given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation doth not lift up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn any more — war.

⁵Kom, Jakobs Hus, lad os vandre i HERRENs Lys!

⁵O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of Jehovah.`

⁶Thi du forskød dit Folk, Jakobs Hus; de er fulde af Østens Væsen og spår, som var de Filistre, giver Folk fra Udlandet Håndslag.

⁶For Thou hast left Thy people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And with the children of strangers strike hands.

⁷Deres Land er fuldt af Sølv og Guld, talløse er deres Skatte; deres Land er fuldt af Heste, talløse er deres vogne;

⁷And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,

⁸deres Land er fuldt af Afguder, de tilbeder Værk af deres Hænder, Ting, deres Fingre har lavet.

⁸And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made,

⁹Men bøjes skal Mennesket, Manden ydmyges, tilgiv dem ikke!

⁹And the low boweth down, and the high is humbled, And Thou acceptest them not.

¹⁰Gå ind i Klippen, skjul dig, i Støvet for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed!

¹⁰Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency.

¹¹Sine stolte Øjne skal Mennesket slå ned, Mændenes Hovmod skal bøjes, og HERREN alene være høj på hin Dag.

¹¹The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.

¹²Thi en Dag har Hærskarers HERRE mod alt det høje og knejsende, mod alt ophøjet og stolt,

¹²For a day [is] to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,

¹³med alle Libanons Cedre, de knejsende høje, og alle Basans Ege,

¹³And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,

¹⁴mod alle knejsende Bjerge og alle høje Fjelde,

¹⁴And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,

¹⁵mod alle stolte Tårne og alle stejle Mure,

¹⁵And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall,

¹⁶mod alle Tarsisskibe og hver en kostelig Ladning.

¹⁶And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.

¹⁷Da skal Menneskets Stolthed bøjes, Mændenes Hovmod ydmyges. og HERREN alene være høj på hin Dag.

¹⁷And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.

¹⁸Afguderne skal helt forsvinde.

¹⁸And the idols — they completely pass away.

¹⁹Og man skal gå ind i Klippehuler og Jordhuller for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed når han står op for at forfærde Jorden.

¹⁹And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.

²⁰På hin Dag skal Mennesket slænge sine Guder af Sølv og Guld, som han lavede sig for at tilbede dem, hen til Muldvarpe og Flagermus

²⁰In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,

²¹for at gå ind i Klipperevner og Fjeldkløfter for HERRENs Rædsel, hans Højheds Herlighed, når han står op for at forfærde Jorden.

²¹To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.

²²Slå ikke mer eders Lid til Mennesker, i hvis Næse der kun er flygtig Ånde, thi hvad er de at regne for?

²²Cease for you from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For — in what is he esteemed?
