Amos 1
1 These are the words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders of Tekoa—what he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, in the days when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel.
Ord av Amos, ein av hyrdingarne frå Tekoa, som han såg i sine syner um Israel i dei dagarne då Uzzia var konge i Juda og Jeroboam Joasson konge i Israel, tvo år fyre jordskjelven.
2 He said: “The LORD roars from Zion and raises His voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the summit of Carmel withers.”
Han sagde: Herren burar frå Sion, frå Jerusalem gjallar hans mål. Då sturer dei hyrding-lider, og Karmels hovud vert svidd.
3 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they threshed Gilead with sledges of iron.
So segjer Herren: For trifald misgjerd av Damask og for firfald eg ikkje meg attrar. For di dei Gilead treskte med sledar av jarn,
4 So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael to consume the citadels of Ben-hadad.
so sender eg eld mot Hazaels hus, han skal øyda Benhadads borger.
5 I will break down the gates of Damascus; I will cut off the ruler of the Valley of Aven and the one who wields the scepter in Beth-eden. The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir,”
So bryt eg bommen til Damask og tyner Bikat-Avens folk og kongsstavmannen i Bet-Eden, og Aram skal drivast burt til Kir, segjer Herren.
6 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Gaza, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they exiled a whole population, delivering them up to Edom.
So segjer Herren: For trifald misgjerning av Gaza og for firfald eg ikkje meg attrar. For di dei heile grender dreiv ut og gav deim i Edoms vald,
7 So I will send fire upon the walls of Gaza, to consume its citadels.
So sender eg eld mot Gazas mur, han skal øyda deira borger,
8 I will cut off the ruler of Ashdod and the one who wields the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn My hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”
so tyner eg Asdods folk og Askalons kongsstavs-mann. Mot Ekron eg retter mi hand, slær filistarn’ til siste mann, segjer Herren, Herren.
9 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Tyre, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they delivered up a whole congregation of exiles to Edom and broke a covenant of brotherhood.
So segjer Herren: For trifald misgjerd av Tyrus, for firfald eg ikkje meg attrar. For di heile grender til Edom dei dreiv og ikkje på brødrabandet gav gaum,
10 So I will send fire upon the walls of Tyre to consume its citadels.”
so sender eg eld mot Tyrus-muren, han skal øyda deira borgar.
11 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Edom, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and stifled all compassion; his anger raged continually, and his fury flamed incessantly.
So segjer Herren: For trifald misgjerd av Edom, for firfald eg ikkje meg attrar. For di han elte bror sin med sverd og kjøvde sin samhug, men vreiden jamt i han øydde, og han æveleg gøymde sin harm,
12 So I will send fire upon Teman to consume the citadels of Bozrah.”
so sender eg eld imot Teman, han skal øyda Bosras borger.
13 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their territory.
So segjer Herren: For trifald misgjerd av Ammons-borni og for firfald eg ikkje meg attrar. For di dei i Gilead konor med barn skar upp, då dei vilde auka sitt land,
14 So I will kindle a fire in the walls of Rabbah to consume its citadels amid war cries on the day of battle and a violent wind on the day of tempest.
So kveikjer eg eld i Rabbas mur, han skal øyda deira borger, medan herropet dunar i striden, og eit hardver på stormdagen blæs,
15 Their king will go into exile — he and his princes together,”
og i landlysing kongen skal gå, han sjølv med hovdingarn’ saman, segjer Herren.
