1“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh is risen on you.
1Gør dig rede, bliv Lys, thi dit Lys er kommet, HERRENs Herlighed er oprundet over dig.
2For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.
2Thi se, Mørke skjuler Jorden og Dunkelhed Folkene, men over dig skal HERREN oprinde, over dig skal hans Herlighed ses.
3Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
3Til dit Lys skal Folkene vandre, og Konger til dit strålende Skær.
4“Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to you; your sons shall come from far, and your daughters shall be carried in the arms.
4Løft Øjnene, se dig om, de samles, kommer alle til dig. Dine Sønner kommer fra det fjerne, dine Døtre bæres på Hofte;
5Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
5da stråler dit Øje af Glæde, dit Hjerte banker og svulmer; thi Havets Skatte bliver dine, til dig kommer Folkenes Rigdom:
6The multitude of camels shall cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of Yahweh.
6Kamelernes Vrimmel skjuler dig, Midjans og Efas Foler, de kommer alle fra Saba; Guld og Røgelse bærer de og kundgør HERRENs Pris;
7All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall come up with acceptance on my altar; and I will glorify the house of my glory.
7alt Kedars Småkvæg samles til dig, dig tjener Nebajots Vædre, til mit Velbehag ofres de til mig, mit Bedehus herliggøres.
8“Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
8Hvem flyver mon der som Skyer, som Duer til Dueslag?
9Surely the islands shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
9Det er Skibe, der kommer med Hast, i Spidsen er Tarsisskibe, for at bringe dine Sønner fra det fjerne; deres Sølv og Guld har de med til HERREN din Guds Navn, Israels Hellige, han gør dig herlig.
10“Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you: for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor have I had mercy on you.
10Udlændinge skal bygge dine Mure, og tjene dig skal deres Konger; thi i Vrede slog jeg dig vel, men i Nåde forbarmer Jeg mig over dig.
11Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
11Dine Porte holdes altid åbne, de lukkes hverken Dag eller Nat, at Folkenes Rigdom kan bringes dig med deres Konger som Førere.
12For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
12Thi det Folk og, Rige, som ikke tjener dig, skal gå til Grunde, og Folkene skal lægges øde i Bund og Grund.
13“The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
13Til dig skal Libanons Herlighed komme, både Cypresser og Elm og Gran, for at smykke min Helligdoms Sted, så jeg ærer mine Fødders Skammel.
14The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending to you; and all those who despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you The city of Yahweh, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
14Dine Undertrykkeres Sønner kommer bøjet til dig, og alle, som håned dig, kaster sig ned for din Fod og kalder dig HERRENs By, Israels Helliges Zion.
15“Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
15Medens du før var forladt og hadet, så ingen drog gennem dig, gør jeg dig til evig Højhed, til Glæde fra Slægt til Slægt.
16You shall also drink the milk of the nations, and shall nurse from royal breasts; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
16Du skal indsuge Folkenes Mælk og die Kongernes Bryst. Du skal kende, at jeg, HERREN, er din Frelser, din Genløser Jakobs Vældige.
17For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron. I will also make your officers peace, and righteousness your ruler.
17Guld sætter jeg i Stedet for Kobber og Sølv i Stedet for Jern, Kobber i Stedet for Træ og Jern i Stedet for Sten. Til din Øvrighed sætter jeg Fred, til Hersker over dig Retfærd.
18Violence shall no more be heard in your land, desolation nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
18Der høres ej mer i dit Land om Uret, om Vold og Ufærd inden dine Grænser; du kalder Frelse dine Mure og Lovsang dine Porte.
19The sun shall be no more your light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light to you: but Yahweh will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.
19Ej mer skal Solen være dit Lys eller Månen Skinne for dig:. HERREN skal være dit Lys for evigt, din Gud skal være din Herlighed.
20Your sun shall no more go down, neither shall your moon withdraw itself; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
20Din Sol skal ej mer gå ned, din Måne skal ej tage af; thi HERREN skal være dit Lys for evigt, dine Sørgedage har Ende.
21Your people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
21Enhver i dit Folk er retfærdig, evigt ejer de Landet, et Skud, som HERREN har plantet, hans Hænders Værk, til hans Ære.
22The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, Yahweh, will hasten it in its time.”
22Den mindste bliver en Stamme, den ringeste et talrigt Folk. Jeg er HERREN; når Tid er inde, vil jeg fremme det i Hast.
