Amos 9
1 Yahweh [showed me another vision. In the vision, ] I saw him standing next to the altar. He said, “Shake the tops of the pillars [of the temple], until they become loose and fall down, so that even the foundation will shake. Then cause the [pieces of the temple] to fall down on the people [who are inside]. I will kill with a sword anyone who [tries to] flee; no one will escape.
Jeg saa Herren staa over Alteret, og han sagde: Slaa Søjlehovederne, saa at Dørtærsklerne ryste, og slaa dem itu ned over alles Hoved, og de overblevne af dem skal jeg ihjelslaa med Sværdet; af dem skal ingen, som flyr, undfly, og af dem skal ingen, som undkommer, reddes.
2 If they dig deep pits in the ground, or if they try to climb up to the sky [in order to escape], I will reach out and grab them. (Sheol h7585)
Om de end bore sig ned i Dødsriget, skal dog min Haand hente dem, derfra; og om de end fare op til Himmelen, skal jeg dog kaste dem ned derfra. (Sheol h7585)
3 If they go to the top of Carmel [Mountain] to escape, I will search for them and seize them. If they [try to] hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the [huge] sea monster to bite them.
Og om de end skjule sig paa Karmels Top, skal jeg dog oplede dem og hente dem derfra; og om de skjule sig for mine Øjne paa Havets Bund, skal jeg dog derfra befale Slangen, at den skal bide dem.
4 If their enemies [capture them and] force them to go to other countries, I will command that they be killed there with swords. I am determined [IDM] to get rid of them, not to help them.”
Og om de end gaa som Fanger for deres Fjenders Ansigt, skal jeg dog derfra befale Sværdet, at det skal ihjelslaa dem; og jeg vil gette mit Øje imod dem til det onde, og ikke til det gode.
5 When the Commander of the armies of angels touches the earth, it melts, and all over the earth [many people die, and the others] mourn for them. [It is as though] Yahweh causes the earth repeatedly to rise and fall like [SIM] the Nile [River] rises and falls.
Og den Herre, Herre Zebaoth, han rører ved Jorden, og den smelter, saa at alle, som bo derpaa, sørge, og den helt hæver sig som Floden og sænker sig som Ægyptens Flod.
6 He builds his [beautiful] palace in heaven, and sets/causes the sky to be like a dome over the earth. He scoops up the water from the ocean and [puts it into clouds], and then empties [the clouds] onto the earth. His name is Yahweh.
Han er den, som bygger sin Trone i Himmelen og grundfæster sin Hvælving over Jorden; han er den, som kalder ad Vandene i Havet og udøser dem over Jordens Overflade; Herren er hans Navn.
7 And Yahweh says, “You people of Israel, you are certainly [RHQ] [now no more important to me] than the people of Ethiopia. I brought your [ancestors] here from Egypt, but I also brought the people of Philistia from Crete [Island], and I brought the people of Syria from the Kir [region].
Mon I ikke ere mig som Morianers Børn, o Israels Børn? siger Herren; mon jeg ikke har ført Israel op fra Ægyptens Land og Filisterne fra Kafthor og Syrerne fra Kir?
8 I [SYN], Yahweh the Lord, have seen that you people in the kingdom [of Israel] are very sinful, so I will (destroy you/wipe you off the earth). But I will not get rid of all you descendants [MTY] of Jacob. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Se, den Herres, Herres Øjne ere imod det syndige Rige, og jeg vil udslette det af Jordens Overflade; dog vil jeg ikke aldeles udslette Jakobs Hus, siger Herren.
9 When I command it, [it will be as though] I will shake you Israeli people [who are living] in various nations, like [MET] [a farmer] shakes a sieve [to separate] the stone pebbles [from the grain], in order that they do not fall on the ground [with the grain].
Thi se, jeg byder og ryster Israels Hus om iblandt alle Folkene, ligesom der rystes om i et Sold, og der ikke falder eet Korn til Jorden.
10 From among my people, all you sinful people who say, ‘We will not experience disasters; nothing evil will happen to us,’ will be killed by [your enemies’] swords.”
Alle Syndere iblandt mit Folk skulle dø ved Sværdet, de, søm sige: Ulykken skal ikke nærme sig eller komme til os.
11 “The kingdom [over which King] David [ruled has been destroyed, like] [MET] a house that collapsed and then became ruins. But some day I will cause it to be a kingdom again. I will cause it to prosper again just like it did previously.
Paa denne Dag vil jeg oprejse Davids faldne Hytte, og jeg vil opmure Bruddene derpaa og oprejse det nedrevne deraf og bygge den som i fordums Dage,
12 When that happens, your [armies] will seize/capture the remaining part of Edom [region] again, and they will also seize the land in other nations that previously belonged to me [MTY]. I, Yahweh, have said [that I will do these things], and I will certainly cause them to happen.
for at de skulle arve det overblevne af Edom og alle de Folkeslag, over hvilke mit Navn nævnes, siger Herren, som gør dette.
13 There will be a time [when your crops will grow very well]. Very soon after the crops are harvested, farmers will plow the ground [to plant more crops in it again], and soon after the vineyards are planted, [farmers will harvest] grapes and tread on them [to make wine]. [And because there will be a lot of] wine, [it will seem as though] wine is flowing down from the hills [DOU].
Se, de Dage komme, siger Herren, da Plovmanden skal naa Høstmanden, og den, som træder Vindruer, skal naa den, som udsaar Sæden, og Bjergene skulle dryppe med Most og alle Højene flyde.
14 I will cause you, my Israeli people, to prosper again. You will rebuild your towns and live in them. You will plant vineyards and then drink the wine [made from the grapes that grows in them].
Og jeg vil omvende mit Folk Israels Fangenskab, og de skulle bygge de ødelagte Stæder og tage Bolig der og plante Vingaarde og drikke Vinen af dem, og de skulle anlægge Haver og æde Frugten af dem.
15 I will enable you to live [MET] in your land again, the land that I gave to [your ancestors], and never again will you be forced to leave it. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
Og jeg vil plante dem i deres Land; og de skulle ikke ydermere oprykkes af deres Land, som jeg har givet dem, siger Herren din Gud.
