Amos 1
1 De Ord, som Amos, der var iblandt Hyrderne fra Thekoa, saa over Israel i Judas Konge Ussias's Dage og i Israels Konge Jeroboams, Joas's Søns, Dag, to Aar før Jordskælvet.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Han sagde da: Herren skal brøle fra Zion og lade sin Røst lyde fra Jerusalem; og Hyrdernes Græsgange skulle sørge og Karmels Top blive tør.
And he said, Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Damaskus og for fire jeg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi de have tærsket Gilead med Jerntærskevogne,
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron.
4 derfor vil jeg sende en Ild i Hasaels Hus, og den skal fortære Benhadads Paladser.
But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
5 Og jeg vil sønderbryde Portstængerne for Damaskus og udrydde Indbyggerne fra Avens Dal og den, som fører Spiret, fra Beth-Eden; og Syriens Folk skal bortføres til Kir, siger Herren.
And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith Jehovah.
6 Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Gaza og for fire — jeg tager det ikke tilbage fordi de have bortført de fangne alle til Hobe, for at overgive dem til Edom,
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole people, to deliver them up to Edom.
7 derfor vil jeg sende en Ild paa Gazas Mur, og den skal fortære dens Paladser.
But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
8 Og jeg vil udrydde Indbyggerne fra Asdod og den, som fører Spiret, fra Askalon; og jeg vil vende min Haand imod Ekron, og de overblevne af Filisterne skulle omkomme, siger den Herre, Herre.
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord Jehovah.
9 Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Tyrus og for fire — jeg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi de overgave de bortførte alle til Hobe til Edom, og de kom ikke Broderpagten i Hu,
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole people to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant.
10 derfor vil jeg sende en Ild paa Tyrus's Mur, og den skal fortære dens Paladser.
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
11 Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Edom og for fire — leg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi nan forfulgte sin Broder med Sværdet og kvalte sin Barmhjertighed, Saa at hans Vrede altid sønderrev, og han har bevaret sin Harme evindelig,
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever.
12 derfor vil jeg sende en Ild i Theman, og den skal fortære Bozras Paladser.
But I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Ammons Børn og for fire — jeg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi de sønderrev e de frugtsommelige i Gilead for at udvide deres Landemærke,
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
14 derfor vil jeg antænde en Ild paa Rabbas Mur, og den skal fortære dens Paladser under Stormraab paa Krigens Dag, under Storm paa Hvirvelvindens Dag.
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
15 Og deres Konge skal vandre i Landflygtighed, han og hans Fyrster til Hobe, siger Herren.
and their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
