Amos 9
1 Ved alteret såg eg at Herren stod. Han sagde: Støyt til stolpen, so gåtterne skrell, lat det ramla nedyver kvar ein haus. Eg let deim som att er falla for sverd, ingen skal koma seg av, berga seg skal ikkje ein.
I have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He says, “Strike the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by the head—all of them, And I slay their posterity with a sword, None that flee of them flee away, Nor a fugitive of them escape.
2 Bryt dei seg inn i helheim, mi hand tek deim derifrå ut, stig dei til himmelen upp, derifrå driv eg deim ned. (Sheol h7585)
If they dig through into Sheol, From there My hand takes them, And if they go up [to] the heavens, From there I cause them to come down. (Sheol h7585)
3 Um dei gøymer seg burt på Karmels topp, eg finn deim og hentar deim heim. Um frå augo mine dei løyner seg av på havsens botn, derifrå byd eg ormen fram, og han skal deim bita.
And if they are hid in the top of Carmel, From there I search out, and have taken them, And if they are hid from My eyes in the bottom of the sea, From there I command the serpent, And it has bitten them.
4 Um dei ver burtførde fangar under fiendehand, der skal eg bjoda sverd at det skal deim slå og augo mitt på deim skal sjå ilt og aldri mildt.
And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From there I command the sword, And it has slain them, And I have set My eye on them for evil, And not for good.”
5 Herren, Allhers-Herren, han rører jordi so ho brånar, og heile mannheimen syrgjer, når all jordi stig som Nilen og fell som Egyptarelvi.
And [it is] the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Who is striking against the land, and it melts, And mourned have all the inhabitants in it, And all of it has come up as a flood, And it has sunk—like the flood of Egypt.
6 Han hev i himlom sine høgsalar bygt, yver jordi reist sin kvelv. Han kallar vatnet or hav og auser det ned yver jord. Herren er hans namn.
Who is building His upper chambers in the heavens; As for His troop, On earth He has founded it, Who is calling for the waters of the sea, And pours them out on the face of the land, YHWH [is] His Name.
7 Er de meir for meg enn kusitarne, de Israels born? segjer Herren. Hev eg ikkje ført Israel frå Egypt, filistaran’ frå Kaftor, og syraran’ frå Kir?
“Are you not as sons of Cushim to Me, O sons of Israel?” A declaration of YHWH. “Did I not bring Israel up out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?
8 Sjå augo til Herren, Herren ser ned på dette syndsens rike: Eg øyder deim burt frå mannaheim; men ikkje heilt eg øydar Jakobs hus, segjer Herren.
Behold, [the] eyes of Lord YHWH [are] on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I do not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” A declaration of YHWH.
9 For sjå, eg sender ut bod: Eg Israels hus millom folki skjek, liksom du ristar eit såld, og ikkje eit korn på bakken fell.
“For behold, I am commanding, And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel, As [one] shakes with a sieve, And there does not fall a grain [to] the earth.
10 Men for sverd skal døy kvar syndarar i mitt folk som kved: «Aldri oss skal ulukka koma og slå.»
By sword all sinners of My people die, Who are saying, Evil does not overtake, or go before, For our sakes.
11 På dagen den vil eg reisa upp att Davids nedfalne hytta og sprungorne tetta og att-stødor lyfta, byggja upp som i fordoms tid,
In that day I raise the dwelling place of David that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And I raise up its ruins, And I have built it up as in days of old,
12 for at dei skal erva det som av Edom er att, og alle dei folk som kallast med mitt namn, segjer Herren som fullfører dette.
So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My Name is called,” A declaration of YHWH—the doer of this.
13 Ja, dagar dei koma skal, segjer Herren, då pløgjaren skurdmannen når; den som vindruvor tred, ser mannen som sår, på fjellom dryp det med saft, etter bakkom bekkjerne renn.
“Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And the plowman has come near to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropped juice, And all the hills melt.
14 Og eg lagnaden snur for mitt folk Israel. Dei skal øydegardar byggja og bu der sjølv, dei skal vinberg planta og drikka deira vin, de skal stella seg hagar og eta deira frukt.
And I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten their fruit.
15 Eg let deim bu i sitt land, og dei skal ikkje meir rivast upp frå sin heim, som eg deim gav, segjer Herren, din Gud.
And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up anymore from off their own ground, That I have given to them,” said your God YHWH!
