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.
Herren saa jeg; han stod ved alteret og sagde: Til Søjlehovedet slaar jeg, saa Dørens Tærskel ryster. Jeg rammer dem alle i Hovedet, de sidste dræber jeg med Sværd; ingen af dem skal undfly, ingen af dem skal 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)
Bryder de ind i Dødsriget, min Haand skal hente dem der; stiger de op til Himlen, jeg styrter 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.
skjuler de sig paa Karmels Top, jeg finder og henter dem der; gemmer de sig for mig paa Havsens Bund, jeg byder Slangen bide dem der;
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.”
vandrer de som Fanger for deres Fjender, jeg byder Sværdet dræbe dem der. Jeg fæster mit Øje paa dem til Ulykke, ikke til Lykke.
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.
Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, som rører ved Jorden, saa den skælver, saa alle, som bor paa den, sørger, saa den stiger overalt som Nilen og synker 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, som bygged sin Højsal i Himlen, som fæstned sit Hvælv paa Jorden, kalder ad Havets Vande og gyder dem ud over Jorden, 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].
Er I mig ej som Ætiopiens Børn, Israeliter, lyder det fra HERREN; har jeg ikke ført Israel op fra Ægyptens Land, Filisterne fra Kaftor, Aram 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 Herre HERRENS Øjne er vendt mod det syndige Rige, og jeg udsletter det af Jorden. Dog vil jeg ikke helt udslette Jakobs Hus, lyder det fra 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, at Israels Hus skal sigtes blandt alle Folkene, som man sigter med Sold, uden at et Korn falder 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.”
For Sværdet skal alle Syndere i mit Folk dø, de, som siger: »Os naar Ulykken ikke; den kommer ikke over 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 hin Dag rejser jeg Davids faldne Hytte; jeg tætter dens Revner, opfører, hvad der sank i Grus, og bygger den som i gamle 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.
saa de tager Edoms Rest i Eje og alle de Folk, over hvilke mit Navn er nævnt, lyder det fra HERREN, som fuldbyrder 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, Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HERREN, da Plovmand følger Høstmand i Hælene og Drueperser Sædemand, da Bjergene drypper med Most og alle Høje flyder.
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].
Da vender jeg mit Folk Israels Skæbne, og de skal bygge de ødelagte Byer og bo deri, de skal plante Vingaarde og drikke Vinen, anlægge Haver og spise Frugten.
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.”
Jeg planter dem i deres Jord, og de skal aldrig mere rykkes op af deres Jord, som jeg gav dem, siger HERREN din Gud.
