Amos 1
1 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.
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.
2 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.
Han sagde: HERREN brøler fra Zion, fra Jerusalem løfter han sin Røst; Hyrdernes Græsmarker sørger, vissen er Karmels Top.
3 Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron.
Saa siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Damaskus, ja fire, jeg gaar ikke fra det: de tærskede Gilead med Tærskeslæder af Jern —
4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
saa sender jeg Ild mod Hazaels Hus, den skal æde Benhadads Borge;
5 And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and he who holds the scepter from the house of Eden, and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir, says Jehovah.
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.
6 Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they carried away captive the whole people, to deliver them up to Edom.
Saa siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Gaza, ja fire, jeg gaar ikke fra det: de bortførte hele Byer og solgte dem til Edom —
7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces of it.
saa sender jeg Ild mod Gazas Mur, den skal æde dets Borge;
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon. And I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the lord Jehovah.
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.
9 Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they delivered up the whole people to Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant.
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 —
10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces of it.
saa sender jeg Ild mod Tyrus's Mur, den skal æde dets Borge.
11 Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity. And his anger tore perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever.
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 —
12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
saa sender jeg Ild mod Teman, den skal æde Bozras Borge.
13 Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
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 —
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces of it, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.
saa sætter jeg Ild paa Rabbas Mur, den skal æde dets Borge under Krigsskrig paa Stridens Dag, under Uvejr paa Stormens Dag.
15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his rulers together, says Jehovah.
Landflygtig skal Kongen blive, han og alle hans Fyrster, siger HERREN.
