Icelandic Bible Translation

Isaiah Ch. 1

¹Vitrun Jesaja Amotssonar um Júda og Jerúsalem sem hann fékk í stjórnartíð Ússía, Jótams, Akasar og Hiskía, konunga í Júda.

Drottinn ákærir þjóð sína

²Heyr þú, himinn, hlusta þú, jörð, því að Drottinn talar. Ég hef fóstrað börn og alið þau upp
en þau hafa brugðist mér.
³Uxinn þekkir eiganda sinn og asninn jötu húsbónda síns en Ísrael þekkir ekki, fólk mitt skilur ekki.
⁴Vei syndugri þjóð, lýð sem hlaðinn er misgjörðum, niðjum illræðismanna, spilltum börnum.
Þér hafið yfirgefið Drottin, hafnað Hinum heilaga Ísraels og snúið baki við honum.
⁵Hvar má enn ljósta yður sem sífellt eruð fráhverfir? Höfuðið er allt í sárum, hjartað allt sjúkt.
⁶Frá hvirfli til ilja er ekkert heilt, hvarvetna mar, undir og opin sár sem hvorki eru hreinsuð né bundið um né mýkt með olíu.
⁷Land yðar er auðn, borgirnar brenndar. Fyrir augum yðar gleypa útlendingar akurland yðar,
það er eyðimörk líkt og varð þegar Sódómu var eytt.
⁸Dóttirin Síon er ein eftir eins og skýli í víngarði, eins og afdrep á gúrkuakri,eins og umsetin borg.
⁹Hefði Drottinn allsherjar ekki látið oss eftir örfáa sem björguðust,hefðum vér orðið eins og Sódóma, líkst Gómorru.

Fánýtar fórnir

¹⁰Heyrið orð Drottins, höfðingjar Sódómu. Hlýðið á leiðsögn Guðs vors, íbúar Gómorru:
¹¹Hvað varða mig yðar mörgu sláturfórnir? spyr Drottinn. Ég hef fengið of mikið af brennifórnum hrúta og feiti alikálfa, í blóð úr nautum, lömbum og geitum langar mig ekki.
¹²Þegar þér komið til að líta auglit mitt, hver hefur þá beðið yður að traðka forgarða mína?
¹³Færið mér ekki framar fánýtar kornfórnir, reykelsi er mér viðurstyggð. Tunglkomudagar, hvíldardagar og hátíðarsamkomur, ég þoli ekki að saman fari ranglæti og hátíðarglaumur.
¹⁴Ég hata tunglkomudaga yðar og hátíðir, þær eru mér byrði, ég er orðinn þreyttur á að bera þær.
¹⁵Þegar þér lyftið höndum yðar í átt til mín loka ég augunum og þótt þér biðjið margra bæna
heyri ég ekki. Hendur yðar eru ataðar blóði.
¹⁶Þvoið yður! Hreinsið yður! Fjarlægið illvirki yðar frá augum mínum. Hættið að gera illt,
¹⁷lærið að gera gott, leitið réttarins, hjálpið hinum kúgaða. Rekið réttar munaðarleysingjans.
Verjið mál ekkjunnar.
¹⁸Komið, vér skulum eigast lög við, segir Drottinn. Þó að syndir yðar séu sem skarlat skulu þær verða hvítar sem mjöll. Þó að þær séu rauðar sem purpuri skulu þær verða sem ull.
¹⁹Ef þér eruð auðsveipir og hlýðnir skuluð þér njóta landsins gæða
²⁰en séuð þér óhlýðnir og þrjóskir verðið þér sverði bitnir. Munnur Drottins hefur talað það.

Dómur yfir Jerúsalem

²¹Hin trúfasta borg er orðin skækja, hún sem var full af réttvísi. Fyrrum bjó réttlæti í henni en nú morðingjar.
²²Silfur þitt er orðið að sora, vín þitt blandað vatni.
²³Leiðtogar þínir eru uppreisnarmenn og lagsmenn þjófa. Allir eru þeir mútuþægir og sækjast eftir gjöfum. Þeir reka ekki réttar munaðarlausra og málefni ekkjunnar koma ekki fyrir þá.
²⁴Þess vegna segir Drottinn allsherjar, hinn voldugi í Ísrael: Vei, ég mun svala mér á andstæðingum mínum, hefna mín á óvinum mínum.
²⁵Ég ætla að snúa hendi minni gegn þér og hreinsa úr þér sorann með lút og skilja frá allt blýið.
²⁶Þá mun ég fá þér dómara eins og þá sem voru í öndverðu og ráðgjafa líka þeim sem voru í upphafi. Eftir það verður þú nefnd Borg réttlætisins, Virkið trúfasta.
²⁷Síon verður frelsuð með réttvísi og með réttlæti þeir sem iðrast.
²⁸En lögbrjótar og syndarar verða upprættir og þeim sem yfirgefa Drottin verður eytt.
²⁹Þér munuð skammast yðar fyrir eikurnar sem þér hafið mætur á og roðna af blygðun vegna garðanna sem þér kusuð yður.
³⁰Þér verðið sjálfir eins og eik með visnuðu laufi, eins og lundur án vatns.
³¹Þá verður hinn voldugi að hálmi og verk hans neisti, hvort tveggja brennur í senn og enginn til að slökkva.
