< Amos 9 >

1 Herren saa jeg; han stod ved alteret og sagde: Til Søjlehovedet slaar jeg, saa Dørens Tærskel ryster. Jeg rammer dem alle i Hovedet, de sidste dræber jeg med Sværd; ingen af dem skal undfly, ingen af dem skal reddes.
I saw YHWH standing beside the altar, and he said, "Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.
2 Bryder de ind i Dødsriget, min Haand skal hente dem der; stiger de op til Himlen, jeg styrter dem ned derfra; (Sheol h7585)
Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down. (Sheol h7585)
3 skjuler de sig paa Karmels Top, jeg finder og henter dem der; gemmer de sig for mig paa Havsens Bund, jeg byder Slangen bide dem der;
Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.
4 vandrer de som Fanger for deres Fjender, jeg byder Sværdet dræbe dem der. Jeg fæster mit Øje paa dem til Ulykke, ikke til Lykke.
Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for disaster, and not for good.
5 Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, som rører ved Jorden, saa den skælver, saa alle, som bor paa den, sørger, saa den stiger overalt som Nilen og synker som Ægyptens Flod,
For YHWH of hosts is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.
6 han, som bygged sin Højsal i Himlen, som fæstned sit Hvælv paa Jorden, kalder ad Havets Vande og gyder dem ud over Jorden, HERREN er hans Navn.
It is he who builds his upper chamber in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; YHWH is his name.
7 Er I mig ej som Ætiopiens Børn, Israeliter, lyder det fra HERREN; har jeg ikke ført Israel op fra Ægyptens Land, Filisterne fra Kaftor, Aram fra Kir?
Are you not like the people of Ethiopia to me, children of Israel?" says YHWH. "Haven't I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir?
8 Se, den Herre HERRENS Øjne er vendt mod det syndige Rige, og jeg udsletter det af Jorden. Dog vil jeg ikke helt udslette Jakobs Hus, lyder det fra HERREN;
Look, the eyes of YHWH are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob," says YHWH.
9 thi se, jeg byder, at Israels Hus skal sigtes blandt alle Folkene, som man sigter med Sold, uden at et Korn falder til Jorden.
"For, look, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as one sifts with a sieve, but not even a pebble will fall to the ground.
10 For Sværdet skal alle Syndere i mit Folk dø, de, som siger: »Os naar Ulykken ikke; den kommer ikke over os.«
All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, 'Evil won't overtake nor meet us.'
11 Paa hin Dag rejser jeg Davids faldne Hytte; jeg tætter dens Revner, opfører, hvad der sank i Grus, og bygger den som i gamle Dage,
On that day I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and repair its broken places, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it as in the days of old;
12 saa de tager Edoms Rest i Eje og alle de Folk, over hvilke mit Navn er nævnt, lyder det fra HERREN, som fuldbyrder dette.
that the rest of humanity may seek after YHWH, and all the nations who are called by my name," says YHWH who does this.
13 Se, Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da Plovmand følger Høstmand i Hælene og Drueperser Sædemand, da Bjergene drypper med Most og alle Høje flyder.
"Look, the days come," says YHWH, "that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.
14 Da vender jeg mit Folk Israels Skæbne, og de skal bygge de ødelagte Byer og bo deri, de skal plante Vingaarde og drikke Vinen, anlægge Haver og spise Frugten.
I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 Jeg planter dem i deres Jord, og de skal aldrig mere rykkes op af deres Jord, som jeg gav dem, siger HERREN din Gud.
I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them," says YHWH your God.
