Amos 1
1 Words of Amos — who hath been among herdsmen of Tekoa — that he hath seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
De Ord, som Amos, der var iblandt Hyrderne fra Thekoa, saa over Israel i Judas Konge Ussias's Dage og i Israels Konge Jeroboams, Joas's Søns, Dag, to Aar før Jordskælvet.
2 and he saith: Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And mourned have pastures of the shepherds, And withered hath the top of Carmel!
Han sagde da: Herren skal brøle fra Zion og lade sin Røst lyde fra Jerusalem; og Hyrdernes Græsgange skulle sørge og Karmels Top blive tør.
3 And thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Damaskus og for fire jeg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi de have tærsket Gilead med Jerntærskevogne,
4 And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it hath consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
derfor vil jeg sende en Ild i Hasaels Hus, og den skal fortære Benhadads Paladser.
5 And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a sceptre from Beth-Eden, And removed have been the people of Aram to Kir, said Jehovah.
Og jeg vil sønderbryde Portstængerne for Damaskus og udrydde Indbyggerne fra Avens Dal og den, som fører Spiret, fra Beth-Eden; og Syriens Folk skal bortføres til Kir, siger Herren.
6 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,
Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Gaza og for fire — jeg tager det ikke tilbage fordi de have bortført de fangne alle til Hobe, for at overgive dem til Edom,
7 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it hath consumed her palaces;
derfor vil jeg sende en Ild paa Gazas Mur, og den skal fortære dens Paladser.
8 And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a sceptre from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And perished have the remnant of the Philistines, Said the Lord Jehovah.
Og jeg vil udrydde Indbyggerne fra Asdod og den, som fører Spiret, fra Askalon; og jeg vil vende min Haand imod Ekron, og de overblevne af Filisterne skulle omkomme, siger den Herre, Herre.
9 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they remembered not the brotherly covenant,
Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Tyrus og for fire — jeg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi de overgave de bortførte alle til Hobe til Edom, og de kom ikke Broderpagten i Hu,
10 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it hath consumed her palaces.
derfor vil jeg sende en Ild paa Tyrus's Mur, og den skal fortære dens Paladser.
11 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing with a sword his brother, And he hath destroyed his mercies, And tear perpetually doth his anger, And his wrath — he hath kept it for ever,
Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Edom og for fire — leg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi nan forfulgte sin Broder med Sværdet og kvalte sin Barmhjertighed, Saa at hans Vrede altid sønderrev, og han har bevaret sin Harme evindelig,
12 And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it hath consumed palaces of Bozrah.
derfor vil jeg sende en Ild i Theman, og den skal fortære Bozras Paladser.
13 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border,
Saa siger Herren: For tre Overtrædelser af Ammons Børn og for fire — jeg tager det ikke tilbage — fordi de sønderrev e de frugtsommelige i Gilead for at udvide deres Landemærke,
14 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it hath consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of hurricane,
derfor vil jeg antænde en Ild paa Rabbas Mur, og den skal fortære dens Paladser under Stormraab paa Krigens Dag, under Storm paa Hvirvelvindens Dag.
15 And gone hath their king in a removal, He and his heads together, said Jehovah!
Og deres Konge skal vandre i Landflygtighed, han og hans Fyrster til Hobe, siger Herren.
