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.
Detta säger Herren: För tre och fyra Moabs lasters skull, vill jag intet skona honom; derföre, att de hafva uppbränt Konungens ben i Edom till asko;
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
Utan jag vill sända en eld i Moab; han skall förtära palatsen i Kerioth, och Moab skall dö uti buller, rop och basunsklang.
3 [and while] I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
Och jag skall borttaga domaren ifrå honom, och dräpa alla hans Förstar med honom, säger 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].
Detta säger Herren: För tre och fyra Juda lasters skull, vill jag intet skona honom; derföre, att de förakta Herrans lag, och icke hålla hans rätter, och låta sina lögn förföra sig, hvilka deras fäder efterföljt hafva,
5 So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”
Utan jag vill sända en eld i Juda han skall förtära palatsen i Jerusalem.
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.
Detta säger Herren: För tre och fyra Israels lasters skull, vill jag intet skona honom; derföre, att de sälja de rättfärdiga för penningar, och de fattiga för ett par skor.
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.
De gå med fötterna öfver de fattiga, och hindra de elända allestäds; sonen och fadren sofva när ena qvinno, med hvilko de ohelga mitt Namn.
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!
Och vid all altare slösa de af förpantad kläder, och dricka vin i sins Guds huse af saköre.
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.
Nu hafver jag dock förlagt Amoreen för dem, den så hög var som cedreträ, och hans magt såsom eker; och jag förderfvade hans frukt ofvantill, och bans rötter nedantill.
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.
Hafver jag ock fört eder utur Egypti land, och ledt eder uti öknene i fyratio år, att I de Amoreers land besitta skullen?
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!
Och af edrom barnom uppväckt eder Propheter, och af edrom ynglingom Nazareer? Är det icke så, I Israels barn? säger 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].
Så gåfven I de Nazareer dricka vin, och Prophetomen böden I, och saden: I skolen intet prophetera.
13 So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].
Si, jag vill göra ibland eder ett gnisslande, såsom en vagn full af kärfvar gnisslar;
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.
Att den der rask är, skall icke kunna undfly, ej heller den starke något förmå, och den mägtige skall icke kunna undsätta sitt lif;
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.
Och de bågaskyttar skola icke bestå; och den der rask är till att löpa, skall icke undlöpa; och den der rider, skall icke rädda sitt lit;
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.”
Och den der aldramanligast är ibland de starka, måste i den tiden nakot undfly, säger Herren.
