Amos 9

1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said: “Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Topple them on the heads of all the people, and I will kill the rest with the sword. None of those who flee will get away; none of the fugitives will escape.

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.

2 Though they dig down to Sheol, from there My hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, from there I will pull them down. (Sheol h7585)

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

3 Though they hide themselves atop Carmel, there I will track them and seize them; and though they hide from Me at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent to bite them.

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;

4 Though they are driven by their enemies into captivity, there I will command the sword to slay them. I will fix My eyes upon them for harm and not for good.”

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

5 The Lord GOD of Hosts, He who touches the earth and it melts, and all its dwellers mourn— all the land rises like the Nile, then sinks like the river of Egypt—

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,

6 He builds His upper rooms in the heavens and founds His vault upon the earth. He summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the face of the earth. The LORD is His name.

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.

7 “Are you not like the Cushites to Me, O children of Israel?” declares the LORD. “Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir?

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?

8 Surely the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”

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;

9 “For surely I will give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve; but not a pebble will reach the ground.

thi se, jeg byder, at Israels Hus skal sigtes blandt alle Folkene, som man sigter med Sold, uden at et Korn falder til Jorden.

10 All the sinners among My people will die by the sword— all those who say, ‘Disaster will never draw near or confront us.’”

For Sværdet skal alle Syndere i mit Folk dø, de, som siger: »Os naar Ulykken ikke; den kommer ikke over os.«

11 “In that day I will restore the fallen tent of David. I will repair its gaps, restore its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,

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,

12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear My name,”

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

13 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when the plowman will overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes, the sower of seed. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, with which all the hills will flow.

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.

14 I will restore My people Israel from captivity; they will rebuild and inhabit the ruined cities. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.

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.

15 I will firmly plant them in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land that I have given them,”

Jeg planter dem i deres Jord, og de skal aldrig mere rykkes op af deres Jord, som jeg gav dem, siger HERREN din Gud.
