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, who was among the herdmen 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: HERREN brøler fra Zion, fra Jerusalem løfter han sin Røst; Hyrdernes Græsmarker sørger, vissen er Karmels Top.
And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Saa siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Damaskus, ja fire, jeg gaar ikke fra det: de tærskede Gilead med Tærskeslæder af Jern —
Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
4 saa sender jeg Ild mod Hazaels Hus, den skal æde Benhadads Borge;
But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
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.
I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holds the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, 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 transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:
7 saa sender jeg Ild mod Gazas Mur, den skal æde dets Borge;
But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:
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 cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holds the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the Lord GOD.
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 Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:
10 saa sender jeg Ild mod Tyrus's Mur, den skal æde dets Borge.
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.
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 transgressions of Edom, and 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 saa sender jeg Ild mod Teman, den skal æde Bozras Borge.
But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
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 transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
14 saa sætter jeg Ild paa Rabbas Mur, den skal æde dets Borge under Krigsskrig paa Stridens Dag, under Uvejr paa Stormens 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 Landflygtig skal Kongen blive, han og alle hans Fyrster, siger HERREN.
And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, says the LORD.
