Amos 3
1 Hør dette ord som Herren har talt mot eder, Israels barn, mot hele den ætt jeg har ført op fra Egyptens land:
Hear the word this which he has spoken Yahweh on you O people of Israel on all the clan which I brought up from [the] land of Egypt saying.
2 Eder alene har jeg villet kjennes ved blandt alle jordens ætter; derfor vil jeg hjemsøke eder for alle eders misgjerninger.
Only you I have known from all [the] clans of the earth there-fore I will visit on you all iniquities your.
3 Går vel to sammen uten at de har avtalt det med hverandre?
¿ Do they walk two [people] together except if they have met by appointment.
4 Brøler vel løven i skogen uten at den har funnet noget rov? Lar vel ungløven sin røst høre fra sin hule uten at den har fanget noget?
¿ Does it roar a lion in the forest and prey not [belongs] to it ¿ does it give forth a young lion voice its from den its except if it has caught [something].
5 Faller vel fuglen i en snare på marken uten at det er satt nogen snare for den? Spretter vel snaren op fra marken uten at den fanger noget?
¿ Does it fall a bird on bird-trap of the earth and [is] a snare there not for it ¿ does it go up a bird-trap from the ground and surely not it catches [something].
6 Eller støtes det vel i basun i en by uten at folket forferdes? Eller skjer det vel en ulykke i en by uten at Herren har gjort det?
Is it blown a trumpet in a city and [the] people not they tremble or? is it calamity in a city and Yahweh not he has done [it].
7 For Herren, Israels Gud, gjør ikke noget uten at han har åpenbaret sitt lønnlige råd for sine tjenere profetene.
For not he does [the] Lord Yahweh anything that except he has revealed secret counsel his to servants his the prophets.
8 Når løven brøler, hvem skulde ikke da reddes? Når Herren, Israels Gud, taler, hvem skulde ikke da profetere?
A lion it has roared who? not will he be afraid [the] Lord Yahweh he has spoken who? not will he prophesy.
9 Rop ut i palassene i Asdod og i palassene i Egyptens land og si: Samle eder på Samaria-fjellene og se hvor stor forvirring det er der inne, og hvor megen undertrykkelse der råder!
Proclaim to [the] fortresses in Ashdod and to [the] fortresses in [the] land of Egypt and say gather yourselves on [the] mountains of Samaria and see disturbances great in [the] midst of it and oppression in midst its.
10 De vet ikke å gjøre det som rett er, sier Herren, de som dynger op vold og ødeleggelse i sine palasser.
And not they know to do straightforwardness [the] utterance of Yahweh those [who] store up violence and devastation in fortresses their.
11 Derfor sier Herren, Israels Gud, så: Fiender skal komme og omringe hele landet. Og de skal styrte ned din borg, så du mister ditt vern, og dine palasser skal bli plyndret.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh an opponent and around the land and he will bring down from you strength your and they will be plundered fortresses your.
12 Så sier Herren: Likesom en hyrde berger to leggeben eller en ørelapp av løvens gap, således skal Israels barn berges, de som sitter i Samaria i sofahjørnet og på damaskes hynder.
Thus he says Yahweh just as he delivers the shepherd from [the] mouth of lion two legs or a piece of an ear so they will be delivered [the] people of Israel who dwell in Samaria with a corner of a bed and with silk of a couch.
13 Hør og vidne mot Jakobs hus, sier Herren, Israels Gud, hærskarenes Gud:
Hear and warn [the] house of Jacob [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh [the] God of hosts.
14 På den dag jeg hjemsøker Israel for dets misgjerninger, da vil jeg hjemsøke Betels altere, så alterhornene blir avhugget og faller til jorden,
That on [the] day visit I [the] transgressions of Israel on it and I will visit [them] on [the] altars of Beth-el and they will be cut off [the] horns of the altar and they will fall to the ground.
15 og jeg vil sønderslå både vinterhusene og sommerhusene, og elfenbenshusene skal gå til grunne, og mange hus rives bort, sier Herren.
And I will strike [the] house of the winter to [the] house of the summer and they will perish [the] houses of ivory and people will snatch away houses great [the] utterance of Yahweh.
