Amos 9

1 Herren så jeg; han stod ved alteret og sagde: Til Søjlehovedet slår jeg, så 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 the LORD standing on the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered.

2 Bryder de ind i Dødsriget, min Hånd skal hente dem der; stiger de op til Himlen, jeg styrter dem ned derfra; (Sheol h7585)

Though they dig into hell, there shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, there will I bring them down: (Sheol h7585)

3 skjuler de sig på Karmels Top, jeg finder og henter dem der; gemmer de sig for mig på Havsens Bund, jeg byder Slangen bide dem der;

And 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 will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

4 vandrer de som Fanger for deres Fjender, jeg byder Sværdet dræbe dem der. Jeg fæster mit Øje på dem til Ulykke, ikke til Lykke.

And though they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.

5 Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, som rører ved Jorden, så den skælver, så alle, som bor på den, sørger, så den stiger overalt som Nilen og synker som Ægyptens Flod,

And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that touches the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

6 han, som bygged sin Højsal i Himlen, som fæstned sit Hvælv på Jorden, kalder ad Havets Vande og gyder dem ud over Jorden, HERREN er hans Navn.

It is he that builds his stories in the heaven, and has founded his troop in the earth; he that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth: The LORD 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 as children of the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? says the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians 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;

Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says the LORD.

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, see, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall on the earth.

10 For Sværdet skal alle Syndere i mit Folk dø, de, som siger: "Os når Ulykken ikke; den kommer ikke over os."

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

11 På hin dag rejser jeg Davids faldne Hytte; jeg tætter dens Revner, opfører, hvad der sank i Grus, og bygger den som i gamle Dage,

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

12 så de tager Edoms Rest i Eje og alle de Folk, over hvilke mit Navn er nævnt, lyder det fra HERREN, som fuldbyrder dette.

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, says the LORD that 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.

Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14 Da vender jeg mit Folk Israels skæbne, og de skal bygge de ødelagte byer og bo deri, de skal plandte vingåre og drikke vinen, anlægge haver og spise frugten.

And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; 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.

And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, says the LORD your God.
