Amos 2
1 Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will punish the people of] Moab because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [dug up] the bones of the king of Edom and burned them completely, with the result that [the ashes became as white] as lime.
Så siger HERREN: for tre overtrædelser af Moab, ja fire jeg går ikke fra det, de brændte Edoms Konges Ben til kalk
2 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the fortresses of Kerioth [city in Moab]. [People will hear soldiers] shouting and blowing trumpets [loudly] while I am causing Moab to be destroyed
så sender jeg Ild mod Moab, den skal æde Herijots Borge; og Moab skal dø under kampgny, Krigsskrig og Hornets Klang.
3 [and while] I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
Af hans Midte udrydder jeg Hersker og dræber alle hans Fyrster, siger HERREN.
4 Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will also punish the people of] Judah because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they have rejected what I taught them and they have not obeyed my commands. They have been deceived [and persuaded to worship false gods], the same [gods] that their ancestors [worshiped].
Så siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Juda, ja fire, jeg går ikke fra det: de ringeagted HERRENs Lov og holdt ej hans Bud, ledet vild af deres Løgneguder, til hvilke deres Fædre holdt sig
5 So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”
så sender jeg Ild mod Juda, den skal æde Jerusalems Borge.
6 Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will punish the people of] Israel because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they sell righteous [people] to get [a small amount of] silver; they sell poor [people, causing them to become slaves], getting for [each of] them [only the amount of money with which they could buy] a pair of sandals.
Så siger HERREN: For tre Overtrædelser af Israel, ja fire, jeg går ikke fra det: de sælger retfærdig for Sølv og Fattigmand for et Par Sko,
7 [It is as though] they trample the poor people into the dirt and do not allow those who are helpless to be treated fairly. Men and their fathers dishonor me [MTY] by both having sex [EUP] with the same [slave] girl.
træder ringes Hoved i Støvet og trænger sagtmodige fra Vejen. Søn og Fader går sammen til Skøgen og søler således mit hellige Navn.
8 [When poor people borrow money], [the lenders force those people to give to them a piece of clothing] for them to keep until he can pay back the money. [But at the end of each day, instead of returning that garment as Yahweh had commanded them to], they lie down on that garment at the places where they worship [their gods]! They fine people, and with that money [they buy] wine and drink it in the temples of their gods!
På pantede Kapper strækker de sig ved hvert et Alter, og i deres Guds Hus drikker de Vin, der er givet i Bøde.
9 [Long ago, ] to assist your ancestors, I got rid of the Amor people-group. They [seemed to be] as tall as cedar [trees] and as strong as oak [trees], but I got rid of them completely, [as easily as someone cuts off] [MET] the branches of a tree and then digs out all its roots.
Og dog var det mig, som udrydded Amoriterne foran eder, høje som Cedertræer, stærke som Egetræer, udrydded deres Frugt foroven som og deres Rødder forneden.
10 I brought your [ancestors] out of Egypt, and [then] I led them through the desert for 40 years. And then I enabled them to conquer/possess the Amor area.
Det var mig, som førte jer op fra Ægypten og lod eder vandre i Ørken i fyrretyve År, så I tog Amoriternes Land.
11 I chose some of you Israelis to be prophets, and I chose others to be Nazir-men [who were completely dedicated to me]. You people of Israel certainly [RHQ] know that what I have said is true!
Jeg tog blandt eders Sønner Profeter, Nasiræere blandt eders unge. Er det ej sandt, Israeliter? lyder det fra HERREN.
12 But you commanded the prophets to not speak the messages that [I gave to] them, and you persuaded the Nazir-men to drink wine, [which I told them never to do].
Men I gav Nasiræerne Vin, og Profeterne bød I ej at profetere.
13 So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].
Se, jeg lader Grunden vakle under jer, ligesom Vognen vakler, når den er fuld af Neg.
14 [Even] if you run fast, you will not escape; [even] if you are strong, [it will be as though] you are weak, and warriors will be unable to save themselves.
Den hurtige kan ikke undfly, den stærke ej bruge sin Kraft; ej redder Helten sit Liv,
15 [Even] if you are able to shoot arrows [well], you will be forced to retreat [LIT]; [even] if you run fast or if you ride [away] on a horse, you will not [be able to] save yourself.
ej holder Bueskytten Stand; ej undslipper rapfodet Mand, ej bjærger nogen Rytter sit Liv;
16 [Even] warriors who are very brave will drop their weapons when they try to flee on the day [that I get rid of them]. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
den kækkeste Mand iblandt Helte skal den dag våbenløs fly, så lyder det fra HERREN.
