Amos 9

1 I have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He says, “Strike the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by the head—all of them, And I slay their posterity with a sword, None that flee of them flee away, Nor a fugitive of them 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 If they dig through into Sheol, From there My hand takes them, And if they go up [to] the heavens, From there I cause them to come 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 And if they are hid in the top of Carmel, From there I search out, and have taken them, And if they are hid from My eyes in the bottom of the sea, From there I command the serpent, And it has bitten 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 And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From there I command the sword, And it has slain them, And I have set My eye on them for evil, 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 And [it is] the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Who is striking against the land, and it melts, And mourned have all the inhabitants in it, And all of it has come up as a flood, And it has sunk—like the flood 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 Who is building His upper chambers in the heavens; As for His troop, On earth He has founded it, Who is calling for the waters of the sea, And pours them out on the face of the land, YHWH [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 as sons of Cushim to Me, O sons of Israel?” A declaration of YHWH. “Did I not bring Israel up out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram 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 Behold, [the] eyes of Lord YHWH [are] on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I do not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” A declaration of YHWH.

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 behold, I am commanding, And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel, As [one] shakes with a sieve, And there does not fall a grain [to] the earth.

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 By sword all sinners of My people die, Who are saying, Evil does not overtake, or go before, For our sakes.

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 raise the dwelling place of David that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And I raise up its ruins, And I have built it up as in 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 So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My Name is called,” A declaration of YHWH—the doer of this.

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, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And the plowman has come near to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropped juice, And all the hills melt.

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 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten 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 And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up anymore from off their own ground, That I have given to them,” said your God YHWH!

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