Amos 1
1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
De Ord, som Amos, der hørte til fårehyrderne fra Tekoa, skuede om Israel, i de Dage da Uzzija var Konge i Juda, og Jeroboam, Joas's Søn, i Israel, to År før Jordskælvet.
2 He said: "The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither."
Han sagde: HERREN brøler fra Zion, fra Jerusalem løfter han sin Røst; Hyrdernes Græsmarker sørger, vissen er Karmels Top.
3 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Damascus, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have threshed the pregnant women of Gilead with threshing instruments of iron;
Så siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Damaskus, ja fire, jeg går ikke fra det: de tærskede Gilead med Tærskeslæder af Jern
4 but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.
så sender jeg Ild mod Hazaels Hus, den skal æde Benhadads Borge;
5 I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Wickedness, and him who holds the scepter from Beth Eden; and the people of Aram shall go into captivity to Kir," says the LORD.
jeg knuser Damaskus's Portslå, udrydder Bikat-Avens Borgere og den, som bærer Scepter i Bet Eden; Aramæerne skal føres til Kir, siger HERREN.
6 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Gaza, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they carried away captive the whole community, to deliver them up to Edom;
så siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Gaza, ja fire, jeg går ikke fra det: de bortførte hele Byer og solgte dem til Edom
7 but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its palaces.
så sender jeg Ild mod Gazas Mur, den skal æde dets Borge;
8 I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines will perish," says the LORD.
jeg udrydder Asdods Borgere og den, som bærer Scepter i Askalon; jeg vender min Hånd imod Ekron, og den sidste Filister forgår, siger den Herre HERREN.
9 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they delivered up the whole community to Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant;
Så siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Tyrus, ja fire, jeg går ikke fra det: de solgte hele bortførte Byer til Edom uden at ænse Broderpagt
10 but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its palaces."
så sender jeg Ild mod Tyruss Mur, den skal æde dets Borge.
11 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity, and his anger raged continually, and he kept his wrath forever;
Så siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Edom, ja fire, jeg går ikke fra det: med Sværd forfulgte han sin Broder og kvalte sin Medynk, holdt altid fast ved sin Vrede og gemte stadig på Harme
12 but I will send a fire on Teman, and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah."
så sender jeg. Ild mod Teman, den skal æde Bozras Borge.
13 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of the people of Ammon, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
Så siger HERREN: For Ammoniternes tre Overtrædelser, ja fire, jeg går ikke fra det: de oprev Livet på Gileads svangre Kvinder for at vinde sig mere Land
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it will devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a storm in the day of the whirlwind;
så sætter jeg Ild på Rabbas Mur, den skal æde dets Borge under Krigsskrig på Stridens Dag, under Uvejr på Stormens Dag.
15 and their king will go into captivity, he and his officials together," says the LORD.
Landflygtig skal Kongen blive, han og alle hans Fyrster, siger HERREN.
