Amos 9
1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake. Break them in pieces on the head of all of them. I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will flee away. Not one of them will escape.
Herren så jeg; han stod ved alteret og sagde: Til Søjlehovedet slår jeg, så 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 Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down. (Sheol h7585)
Bryder de ind i Dødsriget, min Hånd skal hente dem der; stiger de op til Himlen, jeg styrter dem ned derfra; (Sheol h7585)
3 Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.
skjuler de sig på Karmels Top, jeg finder og henter dem der; gemmer de sig for mig på Havsens Bund, jeg byder Slangen bide dem der;
4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.
vandrer de som Fanger for deres Fjender, jeg byder Sværdet dræbe dem der. Jeg fæster mit Øje på dem til Ulykke, ikke til Lykke.
5 For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.
Herren, Hærskarers HERRE, som rører ved Jorden, så den skælver, så alle, som bor på den, sørger, så den stiger overalt som Nilen og synker som Ægyptens Flod,
6 It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth—Yahweh is his name.
han, som bygged sin Højsal i Himlen, som fæstned sit Hvælv på Jorden, kalder ad Havets Vande og gyder dem ud over Jorden, HERREN er hans Navn.
7 Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says Yahweh. “Haven’t I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
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 Behold, the eyes of the Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth, except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says Yahweh.
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 “For behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.
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 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’
For Sværdet skal alle Syndere i mit Folk dø, de, som siger: "Os når Ulykken ikke; den kommer ikke over os."
11 In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old,
På 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 that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” says Yahweh who does this.
så de tager Edoms Rest i Eje og alle de Folk, over hvilke mit Navn er nævnt, lyder det fra HERREN, som fuldbyrder dette.
13 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.
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 bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.
Da vender jeg mit Folk Israels skæbne, og de skal bygge de ødelagte byer og bo deri, de skal plandte vingåre og drikke vinen, anlægge haver og spise frugten.
15 I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says Yahweh your God.
Jeg planter dem i deres jord, og de skal aldrig mere rykkes op af deres jord, som jeg gav dem, siger herren din Gud.
