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;
Ord av Amos, ein av hyrdingarne frå Tekoa, som han såg i sine syner um Israel i dei dagarne då Uzzia var konge i Juda og Jeroboam Joasson konge i Israel, tvo år fyre jordskjelven.
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: Herren burar frå Sion, frå Jerusalem gjallar hans mål. Då sturer dei hyrding-lider, og Karmels hovud vert svidd.
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,
So segjer Herren: For trifald misgjerd av Damask og for firfald eg ikkje meg attrar. For di dei Gilead treskte med sledar av jarn,
4 And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it hath consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
so sender eg eld mot Hazaels hus, han skal øyda Benhadads borger.
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.
So bryt eg bommen til Damask og tyner Bikat-Avens folk og kongsstavmannen i Bet-Eden, og Aram skal drivast burt til Kir, segjer 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,
So segjer Herren: For trifald misgjerning av Gaza og for firfald eg ikkje meg attrar. For di dei heile grender dreiv ut og gav deim i Edoms vald,
7 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it hath consumed her palaces;
So sender eg eld mot Gazas mur, han skal øyda deira borger,
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.
so tyner eg Asdods folk og Askalons kongsstavs-mann. Mot Ekron eg retter mi hand, slær filistarn’ til siste mann, segjer Herren, Herren.
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,
So segjer Herren: For trifald misgjerd av Tyrus, for firfald eg ikkje meg attrar. For di heile grender til Edom dei dreiv og ikkje på brødrabandet gav gaum,
10 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it hath consumed her palaces.
so sender eg eld mot Tyrus-muren, han skal øyda deira borgar.
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,
So segjer Herren: For trifald misgjerd av Edom, for firfald eg ikkje meg attrar. For di han elte bror sin med sverd og kjøvde sin samhug, men vreiden jamt i han øydde, og han æveleg gøymde sin harm,
12 And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it hath consumed palaces of Bozrah.
so sender eg eld imot Teman, han skal øyda Bosras borger.
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,
So segjer Herren: For trifald misgjerd av Ammons-borni og for firfald eg ikkje meg attrar. For di dei i Gilead konor med barn skar upp, då dei vilde auka sitt land,
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,
So kveikjer eg eld i Rabbas mur, han skal øyda deira borger, medan herropet dunar i striden, og eit hardver på stormdagen blæs,
15 And gone hath their king in a removal, He and his heads together, said Jehovah!
og i landlysing kongen skal gå, han sjølv med hovdingarn’ saman, segjer Herren.
