Amos 1
1 The wordes of Amos, who was among the heardmen at Tecoa, which he sawe vpon Israel, in the dayes of Vzziah king of Iudah, and in the dayes of Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash King of Israel, two yeere 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 saide, The Lord shall roare from Zion, and vtter his voyce from Ierusalem, and the dwelling places of the shepheards shall perish, 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 saith the Lord, For three transgressions of Damascus, and for foure I will not turne to it, because they haue threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of yron.
Saa siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Damaskus, ja fire, jeg gaar ikke fra det: de tærskede Gilead med Tærskeslæder af Jern —
4 Therefore will I sende a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ben-hadad.
saa sender jeg Ild mod Hazaels Hus, den skal æde Benhadads Borge;
5 I will breake also the barres of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant of Bikeath-auen: and him that holdeth the scepter out of Beth-eden, and the people of Aram shall goe into captiuitie vnto Kir, sayth the Lord.
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 sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Azzah, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they caried away prisoners the whole captiuitie to shut them vp in 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 Therefore will I sende a fire vpon the walles of Azzah, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
saa sender jeg Ild mod Gazas Mur, den skal æde dets Borge;
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the scepter from Ashkelon, and turne mine hande to Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistims shall perish, sayth the Lord God.
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 sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they shut the whole captiuitie in Edom, and haue not remembred the brotherly couenant.
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 Therefore wil I send a fire vpon ye walles of Tyrus, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
saa sender jeg Ild mod Tyrus's Mur, den skal æde dets Borge.
11 Thus sayeth the Lord, For three transgressions of Edom, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because hee did pursue his brother with the sworde, and did cast off all pitie, and his anger spoyled him euermore, and his wrath watched him alway.
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 Therefore will I send a fire vpon Teman, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Bozrah.
saa sender jeg Ild mod Teman, den skal æde Bozras Borge.
13 Thus sayth ye Lord, For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they haue ript vp the women with child of Gilead, that they might 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 Therefore will I kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battell, and with a tempest in the day of the whirlewinde.
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 captiuitie, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
Landflygtig skal Kongen blive, han og alle hans Fyrster, siger HERREN.
