Amos 1
1 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.
The words of Amos, who was among herdsmen of Thecua: which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Ozias king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel two years before the earthquake.
2 Han sagde: Herren burar frå Sion, frå Jerusalem gjallar hans mål. Då sturer dei hyrding-lider, og Karmels hovud vert svidd.
And he said: The Lord will roar from Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the beautiful places of the shepherds have mourned, and the top of Carmel is withered.
3 So segjer Herren: For trifald misgjerd av Damask og for firfald eg ikkje meg attrar. For di dei Gilead treskte med sledar av jarn,
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four I will not convert it: because they have thrashed Galaad with iron wains.
4 so sender eg eld mot Hazaels hus, han skal øyda Benhadads borger.
And I will send a fire into the house of Azael, and it shall devour the houses of Benadad.
5 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.
And I will break the bar of Damascus: and I will cut off the inhabitants from the plain of the idol, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of pleasure: and the people of Syria shall be carried away to Cyrene, saith the Lord.
6 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,
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four I will not convert it: because they have carried away a perfect captivity to shut them up in Edom.
7 So sender eg eld mot Gazas mur, han skal øyda deira borger,
And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
8 so tyner eg Asdods folk og Askalons kongsstavs-mann. Mot Ekron eg retter mi hand, slær filistarn’ til siste mann, segjer Herren, Herren.
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Azotus, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ascalon: and I will turn my hand against Accaron, and the rest of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.
9 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,
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four I will not convert it: because they have shut up an entire captivity in Edom, and have not remembered the covenant of brethren.
10 so sender eg eld mot Tyrus-muren, han skal øyda deira borgar.
And I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
11 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,
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath pursued his brother with the sword, and hath cast off all pity, and hath carried on his fury, and hath kept his wrath to the end.
12 so sender eg eld imot Teman, han skal øyda Bosras borger.
I will send a fire into Theman: and it shall devour the houses of Bosra.
13 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,
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath ripped up the women with child of Galaad to enlarge his border.
14 So kveikjer eg eld i Rabbas mur, han skal øyda deira borger, medan herropet dunar i striden, og eit hardver på stormdagen blæs,
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabba: and it shall devour the houses thereof with shouting in the day of battle, and with a whirlwind in the day of trouble.
15 og i landlysing kongen skal gå, han sjølv med hovdingarn’ saman, segjer Herren.
And Melchom shall go into captivity, both he, and his princes together, saith the Lord.
