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;
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 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: Herren burar frå Sion, frå Jerusalem gjallar hans mål. Då sturer dei hyrding-lider, og Karmels hovud vert svidd.
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,
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 And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it has consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
so sender eg eld mot Hazaels hus, han skal øyda Benhadads borger.
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.
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 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,
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 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it has consumed her palaces;
So sender eg eld mot Gazas mur, han skal øyda deira borger,
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.
so tyner eg Asdods folk og Askalons kongsstavs-mann. Mot Ekron eg retter mi hand, slær filistarn’ til siste mann, segjer Herren, Herren.
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,
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 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it has consumed her palaces.”
so sender eg eld mot Tyrus-muren, han skal øyda deira borgar.
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,
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 And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it has consumed palaces of Bozrah.”
so sender eg eld imot Teman, han skal øyda Bosras borger.
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,
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 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,
So kveikjer eg eld i Rabbas mur, han skal øyda deira borger, medan herropet dunar i striden, og eit hardver på stormdagen blæs,
15 And their king has gone in a removal, He and his heads together,” said YHWH!
og i landlysing kongen skal gå, han sjølv med hovdingarn’ saman, segjer Herren.
