Amos 1
1 De Ord, som Amos, der hørte til faarehyrderne fra Tekoa, skuede om Israel, i de Dage da Uzzija var Konge i Juda, og Jeroboam, Joas's Søn, i Israel, to Aar før Jordskælvet.
The words of Amos which came [to him] in Accarim out of Thecue, which he saw concerning Jerusalem, in the days of Ozias king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Han sagde: HERREN brøler fra Zion, fra Jerusalem løfter han sin Røst; Hyrdernes Græsmarker sørger, vissen er Karmels Top.
And he said, The Lord has spoken out of Sion, and has uttered his voice out of Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds have mourned, and the top of Carmel is dried up.
3 Saa siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Damaskus, ja fire, jeg gaar ikke fra det: de tærskede Gilead med Tærskeslæder af Jern —
And the Lord said, For three sins of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they sawed with iron saws the women with child of the Galaadites.
4 saa sender jeg Ild mod Hazaels Hus, den skal æde Benhadads Borge;
And I will send a fire on the house of Azael, and it shall devour the foundations of the son of Ader.
5 jeg knuser Damaskus's Portslaa, udrydder Bik'at-Avens Borgere og den, som bærer Scepter i Bet-Eden; Aramæerne skal føres til Kir, siger HERREN.
And I will break to pieces the bars of Damascus, and will destroy the inhabitants out of the plain of On, and will cut in pieces a tribe out of the men of Charrhan: and the famous people of Syria shall be led captive, says the Lord.
6 Saa siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Gaza, ja fire, jeg gaar ikke fra det: de bortførte hele Byer og solgte dem til Edom —
Thus says the Lord; For three sins of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away from them; because they took prisoners the captivity of Solomon, to shut [them] up into Idumea.
7 saa sender jeg Ild mod Gazas Mur, den skal æde dets Borge;
And I will send forth a fire on the walls of Gaza, and it shall devour its foundations.
8 jeg udrydder Asdods Borgere og den, som bærer Scepter i Askalon; jeg vender min Haand imod Ekron, og den sidste Filister forgaar, siger den Herre HERREN.
And I will destroy the inhabitants out of Azotus, and a tribe shall be cut off from Ascalon, and I will stretch out my hand upon Accaron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the Lord.
9 Saa siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Tyrus, ja fire, jeg gaar ikke fra det: de solgte hele bortførte Byer til Edom uden at ænse Broderpagt —
Thus says the Lord; For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they shut up the prisoners of Solomon into Idumea, and remembered not the covenant of brethren.
10 saa sender jeg Ild mod Tyrus's Mur, den skal æde dets Borge.
And I will send forth a fire on the walls of Tyre, and it shall devour the foundations of it.
11 Saa siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Edom, ja fire, jeg gaar ikke fra det: med Sværd forfulgte han sin Broder og kvalte sin Medynk, holdt altid fast ved sin Vrede og gemte stadig paa Harme —
Thus says the Lord; For three sins of Idumea, and for four, I will not turn away from them; because they pursued their brother with the sword, and destroyed the mother upon the earth, and summoned up his anger for a testimony, and kept up his fury to the end.
12 saa sender jeg Ild mod Teman, den skal æde Bozras Borge.
And I will send forth a fire upon Thaman, and it shall devour the foundations of her walls.
13 Saa siger HERREN: For Ammoniternes tre Overtrædelser, ja fire, jeg gaar ikke fra det: de oprev Livet paa Gileads svangre Kvinder for at vinde sig mere Land —
Thus says the Lord; For three sins of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they ripped up the women with child of the Galaadites, that they might widen their coasts.
14 saa sætter jeg Ild paa Rabbas Mur, den skal æde dets Borge under Krigsskrig paa Stridens Dag, under Uvejr paa Stormens Dag.
And I will kindle a fire on the walls of Rabbath, and it shall devour her foundations with shouting in the day of war, and she shall be shaken in the days of her destruction:
15 Landflygtig skal Kongen blive, han og alle hans Fyrster, siger HERREN.
and her kings shall go into captivity, their priests and their rulers together, says the Lord.
