Amos 1
1 Here is the message that was given to Amos, a shepherd from Tekoa in Judah. This is what he saw concerning Israel when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam, son of Jehoash, was king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
De Ord, som Amos, der var iblandt Hyrderne fra Thekoa, saa over Israel i Judas Konge Ussias's Dage og i Israels Konge Jeroboams, Joas's Søns, Dag, to Aar før Jordskælvet.
2 And he said, The Lord roars from Zion, he shouts from Jerusalem. The shepherds' pastures wither, the top of Mount Carmel dries up.
Han sagde da: Herren skal brøle fra Zion og lade sin Røst lyde fra Jerusalem; og Hyrdernes Græsgange skulle sørge og Karmels Top blive tør.
3 This is what the Lord says: The people of Damascus have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they beat the people of Gilead with sharp iron threshing tools.
Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Damaskus og for fire jeg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi de have tærsket Gilead med Jerntærskevogne,
4 So I will send fire down on the house of Hazael and burn up Ben-Hadad's fortresses.
derfor vil jeg sende en Ild i Hasaels Hus, og den skal fortære Benhadads Paladser.
5 I will smash the gates of Damascus, I will cut down those who live in the Valley of Aven, and the ruler from Beth Eden. The people of Aram will be deported as prisoners to the land of Kir, says the Lord.
Og jeg vil sønderbryde Portstængerne for Damaskus og udrydde Indbyggerne fra Avens Dal og den, som fører Spiret, fra Beth-Eden; og Syriens Folk skal bortføres til Kir, siger Herren.
6 This is what the Lord says: The people of Gaza have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they sent into exile whole communities, handing them over to Edom.
Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Gaza og for fire — jeg tager det ikke tilbage fordi de have bortført de fangne alle til Hobe, for at overgive dem til Edom,
7 So I will send down fire on the walls of Gaza and burn up its fortresses.
derfor vil jeg sende en Ild paa Gazas Mur, og den skal fortære dens Paladser.
8 I will cut down those who live in Ashdod and the ruler of Ashkelon. I will turn to punish Ekron and the Philistines who remain will die, says the Lord God.
Og jeg vil udrydde Indbyggerne fra Asdod og den, som fører Spiret, fra Askalon; og jeg vil vende min Haand imod Ekron, og de overblevne af Filisterne skulle omkomme, siger den Herre, Herre.
9 This is what the Lord says: The people of Tyre have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they exiled whole communities, handing them over to Edom, and did not keep their agreement to help each other as members of the same family.
Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Tyrus og for fire — jeg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi de overgave de bortførte alle til Hobe til Edom, og de kom ikke Broderpagten i Hu,
10 So I will send down fire on the walls of Tyre and burn up its fortresses.
derfor vil jeg sende en Ild paa Tyrus's Mur, og den skal fortære dens Paladser.
11 This is what the Lord says: The people of Edom have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they hunted down the Israelites to whom they were related, killing them with swords. They attacked without mercy, tearing the Israelites to pieces in an angry rage that never stopped.
Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Edom og for fire — leg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi nan forfulgte sin Broder med Sværdet og kvalte sin Barmhjertighed, Saa at hans Vrede altid sønderrev, og han har bevaret sin Harme evindelig,
12 So I will send down fire on Teman, and I will burn up the fortresses of Bozrah.
derfor vil jeg sende en Ild i Theman, og den skal fortære Bozras Paladser.
13 This is what the Lord says: The people of Ammon have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, because they ripped open pregnant women in Gilead as part of their war to enlarge their territory.
Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Ammons Børn og for fire — jeg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi de sønderrev e de frugtsommelige i Gilead for at udvide deres Landemærke,
14 I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah and burn up its fortresses. There will be shouts on the day of battle which will whirl with rage like a windstorm.
derfor vil jeg antænde en Ild paa Rabbas Mur, og den skal fortære dens Paladser under Stormraab paa Krigens Dag, under Storm paa Hvirvelvindens Dag.
15 Their king will be sent into exile together with his princes, says the Lord.
Og deres Konge skal vandre i Landflygtighed, han og hans Fyrster til Hobe, siger Herren.
