5 Så siger Gud HERREN, som skabte og udspændte Himlen, udbredte Jorden med dens Grøde, gav Folkene på den Åndedræt og dem, som vandrer der, Ånde.
5 Thus says God the Lord,Who created the heavens and stretched them out,Who spread out the earth and its offspring,Who gives breath to the people on itAnd spirit to those who walk in it,
6 Jeg, HERREN, har kaldet dig i Retfærd og grebet dig fast om Hånd; jeg vogter dig, og jeg gør dig til Folkepagt, til Hedningelys
6 “I am the Lord, I have called You in righteousness,I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You,And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people,As a light to the nations,
13 HERREN drager ud som en Helt, han vækker som en Stridsmand sin Kamplyst, han udstøder Krigsskrig, han brøler, æsker sine Fjender til Strid.
13 The Lord will go forth like a warrior,He will arouse His zeal like a man of war.He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry.He will prevail against His enemies.
16 Jeg fører blinde ad ukendt Vej, leder dem ad ukendte Stier, gør Mørket foran dem til Lys og Bakkelandet til Slette. Det er de Ting, jeg gør, og dem går jeg ikke fra.
16 “I will lead the blind by a way they do not know,In paths they do not know I will guide them.I will make darkness into light before themAnd rugged places into plains.These are the things I will do,And I will not leave them undone.”
22 Men Folket er plyndret og hærget; de er alle bundet i Huler, skjult i Fangers Huse, til Ran blev de, ingen redder, til Plyndring, ingen siger: "Slip dem!"
22 But this is a people plundered and despoiled;All of them are trapped in caves,Or are hidden away in prisons;They have become a prey with none to deliver them,And a spoil, with none to say, “Give them back!”
24 Hvo hengav Jakob til Plyndring, gav Israel hen til Ransmænd? Mon ikke HERREN: mod hvem vi synded, hvis Veje de ej vilde vandre, hvis Lov de ikke hørte?
24 Who gave Jacob up for spoil, and Israel to plunderers?Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned,And in whose ways they were not willing to walk,And whose law they did not obey?
25 Han udgød over det Harme, sin Vrede og Krigens Vælde; den luede om det, det ænsed det ej, den sved det, det tog sig det ikke til Hjerte.
25 So He poured out on him the heat of His angerAnd the fierceness of battle;And it set him aflame all around,Yet he did not recognize it;And it burned him, but he paid no attention.
