Amos 9

1 Jeg saa Herren staa over Alteret, og han sagde: Slaa Søjlehovederne, saa at Dørtærsklerne ryste, og slaa dem itu ned over alles Hoved, og de overblevne af dem skal jeg ihjelslaa med Sværdet; af dem skal ingen, som flyr, undfly, og af dem skal ingen, som undkommer, reddes.

I saw the Lord standing upon the altar; and he said, Smite the capital, that the sills may quake; and break them in pieces over the head of all of them; and their posterity will I slay with the sword: there shall not flee away from them one that fleeth, and there shall not escape from them one that is saved.

2 Om de end bore sig ned i Dødsriget, skal dog min Haand hente dem, derfra; og om de end fare op til Himmelen, skal jeg dog kaste dem ned derfra. (Sheol h7585)

Though they were to creep down into the nether world, thence would my hand fetch them; and though they were to climb up to the heavens, thence would I bring them down; (Sheol h7585)

3 Og om de end skjule sig paa Karmels Top, skal jeg dog oplede dem og hente dem derfra; og om de skjule sig for mine Øjne paa Havets Bund, skal jeg dog derfra befale Slangen, at den skal bide dem.

And though they were to hide themselves on the top of Carmel, thence would I search and take them out; and though they were to conceal themselves from before my eyes in the bottom of the sea, thence would I command the serpent, that he should bite them;

4 Og om de end gaa som Fanger for deres Fjenders Ansigt, skal jeg dog derfra befale Sværdet, at det skal ihjelslaa dem; og jeg vil gette mit Øje imod dem til det onde, og ikke til det gode.

And though they were to go into captivity before their enemies, thence would I command the sword, that it should slay them: and I will set my eye upon them for evil, and not for good.

5 Og den Herre, Herre Zebaoth, han rører ved Jorden, og den smelter, saa at alle, som bo derpaa, sørge, og den helt hæver sig som Floden og sænker sig som Ægyptens Flod.

And the Lord Eternal of hosts it is that toucheth the earth, and she melteth away, and all that dwell thereon shall mourn; and she riseth up like a stream wholly; and she sinketh like the stream of Egypt;

6 Han er den, som bygger sin Trone i Himmelen og grundfæster sin Hvælving over Jorden; han er den, som kalder ad Vandene i Havet og udøser dem over Jordens Overflade; Herren er hans Navn.

That buildeth in the heavens his steps, and hath founded his vault over the earth; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out over the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.

7 Mon I ikke ere mig som Morianers Børn, o Israels Børn? siger Herren; mon jeg ikke har ført Israel op fra Ægyptens Land og Filisterne fra Kafthor og Syrerne fra Kir?

Are ye not like the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord: have I not brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8 Se, den Herres, Herres Øjne ere imod det syndige Rige, og jeg vil udslette det af Jordens Overflade; dog vil jeg ikke aldeles udslette Jakobs Hus, siger Herren.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord Eternal are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; save only that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

9 Thi se, jeg byder og ryster Israels Hus om iblandt alle Folkene, ligesom der rystes om i et Sold, og der ikke falder eet Korn til Jorden.

For, lo, I will give the command, and I will shake about among all the nations the house of Israel, as one shaketh things in a sieve, while not the least piece falleth down upon the earth.

10 Alle Syndere iblandt mit Folk skulle dø ved Sværdet, de, søm sige: Ulykken skal ikke nærme sig eller komme til os.

By the sword shall die all the sinners of my people, who say, The evil will not come near [us], nor hasten along for our sake.

11 Paa denne Dag vil jeg oprejse Davids faldne Hytte, og jeg vil opmure Bruddene derpaa og oprejse det nedrevne deraf og bygge den som i fordums Dage,

On that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David which is fallen; and I will close up its breaches; and its ruins will I raise up, and I will rebuild it as in days of old:

12 for at de skulle arve det overblevne af Edom og alle de Folkeslag, over hvilke mit Navn nævnes, siger Herren, som gør dette.

In order that they may take possession of the remnant of Edom, and of all the nations, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doth this.

13 Se, de Dage komme, siger Herren, da Plovmanden skal naa Høstmanden, og den, som træder Vindruer, skal naa den, som udsaar Sæden, og Bjergene skulle dryppe med Most og alle Højene flyde.

Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall come close up to the harvester, and the treader of the grapes to the one that scattereth the seed: and the mountains shall drop with sweet new wine, and all the hills shall melt away.

14 Og jeg vil omvende mit Folk Israels Fangenskab, og de skulle bygge de ødelagte Stæder og tage Bolig der og plante Vingaarde og drikke Vinen af dem, og de skulle anlægge Haver og æde Frugten af dem.

And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the wasted cities, and dwell therein; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine; and they shall lay out gardens, and eat their fruit.

15 Og jeg vil plante dem i deres Land; og de skulle ikke ydermere oprykkes af deres Land, som jeg har givet dem, siger Herren din Gud.

And I will plant them upon their own soil, and they shall not be pulled up any more out of their land which I have given unto them, saith the Lord thy God.
