Amos 1
1 Words of Amos—who has been among herdsmen of Tekoa—that he has seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
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 says, “YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And pastures of the shepherds have mourned, And the top of Carmel has withered!”
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 And thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Damaskus og for fire jeg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi de have tærsket Gilead med Jerntærskevogne,
4 And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it has consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
derfor vil jeg sende en Ild i Hasaels Hus, og den skal fortære Benhadads Paladser.
5 And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a scepter from Beth-Eden, And the people of Aram have been removed to Kir,” said YHWH.
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 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up 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 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it has consumed her palaces;
derfor vil jeg sende en Ild paa Gazas Mur, og den skal fortære dens Paladser.
8 And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a scepter from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And the remnant of the Philistines have perished,” said Lord YHWH.
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 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they did not remember the brotherly covenant,
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 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it has consumed her palaces.”
derfor vil jeg sende en Ild paa Tyrus's Mur, og den skal fortære dens Paladser.
11 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing his brother with a sword, And he has destroyed his mercies, And his anger tears continuously, And his wrath—he has kept it forever,
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 And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it has consumed palaces of Bozrah.”
derfor vil jeg sende en Ild i Theman, og den skal fortære Bozras Paladser.
13 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border,
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 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it has consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of 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 And their king has gone in a removal, He and his heads together,” said YHWH!
Og deres Konge skal vandre i Landflygtighed, han og hans Fyrster til Hobe, siger Herren.
