Amos 7

1 Thus he showed me [the] Lord Yahweh and there! [he was] forming locusts at [the] beginning of [the] coming up of the spring-crop and there! a spring-crop after [the] mowings of the king.

Saaledes lod den Herre HERREN mig skue: Se, Græshopper kom til Syne, da Efterslætten var ved at gro frem — Efterslætten efter Kongens Høst.

2 And it will be if it had finished to eat [the] vegetation of the land and I said O Lord Yahweh forgive please who? will he stand Jacob for [is] small he.

Og da de var ved helt at afæde Jordens Urter, sagde jeg: »Herre, HERRE, tilgiv dog! Hvorledes skal Jakob staa det igennem, saa lille han er?«

3 He relented Yahweh on this not it will be he said Yahweh.

Og HERREN angrede. »Det skal ej ske!« sagde HERREN.

4 Thus he showed me [the] Lord Yahweh and there! [was] calling for conducting a case by fire [the] Lord Yahweh and it consumed [the] deep great and it consumed the portion of land.

Saaledes lod den Herre HERREN mig skue: Se, den Herre HERREN kaldte Ild frem til Straf, og den fortærede det store Verdensdyb; men da den vilde til at fortære Agerlandet,

5 And I said O Lord Yahweh cease please who? will he stand Jacob for [is] small he.

sagde jeg: »Herre, HERRE, hold inde! Hvorledes skal Jakob staa det igennem, saa lille han er?«

6 He relented Yahweh on this also it not it will be he said [the] Lord Yahweh.

Og HERREN angrede. »Ej heller det skal ske!« sagde den Herre HERREN.

7 Thus he showed me and there! [the] Lord [was] standing on a wall of tin and [was] in hand his tin.

Saaledes lod han mig skue: Se, Herren stod paa en Mur med et Blylod i Haanden.

8 And he said Yahweh to me what? [are] you seeing O Amos and I said tin and he said [the] Lord here I [am] about to put tin in [the] midst of people my Israel not I will repeat again to pass by it.

Og HERREN sagde til mig: »Hvad ser du, Amos?« Jeg svarede: »Et Blylod!« Da sagde Herren: »Se, jeg sænker Loddet i mit Folk Israel; jeg vil ikke spare det længer.

9 And they will be made desolate [the] high places of Isaac and [the] sanctuaries of Israel they will be waste and I will arise on [the] house of Jeroboam with the sword.

Isaks Høje bliver øde, Israels Helligdomme styrtes, med Sværd staar jeg op mod Jeroboams Hus.«

10 And he sent Amaziah [the] priest of Beth-el to Jeroboam [the] king of Israel saying he has conspired on you Amos in [the] midst of [the] house of Israel not it is able the land to endure all words his.

Men Amazja, Betels Præst, sendte Bud til Kong Jeroboam af Israel og lod sige: »Amos stifter en Sammensværgelse imod dig midt i Israels Hus; Landet kan ikke bære alle hans Ord.

11 For thus he has said Amos by the sword he will die Jeroboam and Israel certainly it will go into exile from on land its.

Thi saaledes siger Amos: For Sværdet skal Jeroboam dø, og Israel skal bortføres fra sin Jord.«

12 And he said Amaziah to Amos O seer go flee yourself to [the] land of Judah and eat there bread and there you will prophesy.

Og Amazja sagde til Amos: »Seer, gaa din Vej og se at komme til Judas Land! Der kan du tjene dit Brød og profetere.

13 And Beth-el not you must repeat again to prophesy for [is] a sanctuary of a king it and [is] a house of kingdom it.

Men i Betel maa du ikke profetere længer, thi det er Kongens Helligdom og Rigets Tempel.«

14 And he answered Amos and he said to Amaziah not [am] a prophet I and not [am] a son of a prophet I for [was] a herdsman I and a fig picker of sycamores.

Amos svarede Amazja: »Jeg er hverken Profet eller Profetlærling: jeg er Faarehyrde og avler Morbærfigen;

15 And he took me Yahweh from after the flock and he said to me Yahweh go prophesy to people my Israel.

men HERREN tog mig fra Hjorden og sagde til mig: Gaa hen og profetér for mit Folk Israel!

16 And therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh you [are] saying not you must prophesy on Israel and not you must prophesy on [the] house of Isaac.

Saa hør nu HERRENS Ord! Du siger: Du maa ikke profetere mod Israel, ej prædike mod Israels Hus!

17 Therefore thus he says Yahweh wife your in the city she will be a prostitute and sons your and daughters your by the sword they will fall and land your with measuring-line it will be divided and you on ground unclean you will die and Israel certainly it will go into exile from on land its.

Derfor, saa siger HERREN: Din Hustru bliver Skøge i Byen, dine Sønner og Døtre skal falde for Sværd; din Jord skal udskiftes med Snor, og selv skal du dø paa uren Jord. Og bort fra sin Jord skal Israel føres.«
