Amos 1
1 This is the message that [Yahweh] gave to [me], Amos. I am a (shepherd/man who takes care of sheep). I am from [near] Tekoa [town south of Jerusalem]. I received this message about Israel in a vision two years before the [big] earthquake. It was when Uzziah was the king of Judah, and Jeroboam, the son of [King] Jehoash, was the king of Israel.
Aamoksen sanat, hänen, jolla oli lammaslaumoja Tekoassa; mitä hän näyssä näki Israelista Ussian, Juudan kuninkaan, päivinä ja Jerobeamin, Jooaan pojan, Israelin kuninkaan, päivinä, kaksi vuotta ennen maanjäristystä.
2 This is what Yahweh said: “I will roar [like a lion] [MET]; when I speak from Zion [Hill in] Jerusalem [DOU], my voice will [resemble the sound of] thunder. [When that happens], the pastures where you shepherds [take care of] your sheep will dry up, and [the grass] on top of Carmel [Mountain] will (wither/become brown) [because I will cause that no rain will fall].”
Ja hän sanoi: Herra ärjyy Siionista, hän jylisee Jerusalemista, ja paimenten laitumet lakastuvat, ja Karmelin laki kuivuu.
3 This is [also] what Yahweh said [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Damascus, [the capital of Syria, ] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not [change my mind about punishing them] [MTY], because [the cruel things that they did to the people of the] Gilead [region] [were like] [MET] people threshing grain using sledges [that have (iron teeth/sharp iron nails) in them].
Näin sanoo Herra: Damaskon kolmen rikoksen, neljän rikoksen tähden minun päätökseni on peruuttamaton. Koska he ovat puineet Gileadin rautaisilla puimaäkeillä,
4 I will cause a fire to burn the palace [that King] Hazael [built and lived in], the fortress where [his son King] Ben-Hadad [also] lived.
sentähden minä lähetän tulen Hasaelin linnaa vastaan, ja se kuluttaa Benhadadin palatsit.
5 I will cause the gates of Damascus to be broken [down]; I will get rid of the king who rules in Aven Valley and the one who rules in Beth Eden. And the people of Syria will be captured and taken to the Kir [region where they originally lived].”
Minä särjen Damaskon salvat, ja minä hävitän Bikat-Aavenin asukkaat ja Beet-Edenin valtikanpitäjät, ja Aramin kansa viedään pakkosiirtolaisuuteen Kiiriin, sanoo Herra.
6 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of the cities in Philistia]: [I will punish the people of] Gaza [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they captured large groups of people and took them to Edom and sold them to become the slaves of [the people of] Edom.
Näin sanoo Herra: Gassan kolmen rikoksen, neljän rikoksen tähden minun päätökseni on peruuttamaton. Koska he ovat vieneet pakkosiirtolaisuuteen ja luovuttaneet Edomille kaiken väen,
7 I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Gaza and [also] destroy its fortresses.
sentähden minä lähetän tulen Gassan muuria vastaan, ja se kuluttaa sen palatsit.
8 I will get rid of the king of Ashdod [city] and the king who rules [MTY] in Ashkelon [city]. I will [also] strike/punish [the people of] Ekron [city], and [all] the people of Philistia who are still alive will be killed.”
Minä hävitän Asdodin asukkaat ja Askelonin valtikanpitäjät, ja minä käännän käteni Ekronia vastaan, ja filistealaisten tähteet hukkuvat, sanoo Herra, Herra.
9 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Tyre [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [also] captured large groups of our people and took them to Edom, disregarding the treaty of friendship that they had made [with your rulers].
Näin sanoo Herra: Tyyron kolmen rikoksen, neljän rikoksen tähden minun päätökseni on peruuttamaton. Koska he ovat luovuttaneet kaiken väen pakkosiirtolaisina Edomille eivätkä ole muistaneet veljesliittoa,
10 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Tyre and [also] destroy its fortresses.”
sentähden minä lähetän tulen Tyyron muuria vastaan, ja se kuluttaa sen palatsit.
11 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Edom because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they pursued the people [of Israel], who descended from Esau’s [brother Jacob, and killed them] with swords; they did not act mercifully toward them at all. They were extremely angry [with the people of Israel], and they continued to be angry [with them].
Näin sanoo Herra: Edomin kolmen rikoksen, neljän rikoksen tähden minun päätökseni on peruuttamaton. Koska se on vainonnut miekalla veljeänsä ja tukahduttanut kaiken armahtavaisuuden ja pitänyt ikuista vihaa ja säilyttänyt kiukkunsa ainaisesti,
12 I will cause a fire to burn Teman [district in Edom] and completely burn the fortresses of Bozrah, [the biggest city in Edom].”
sentähden minä lähetän tulen Teemania vastaan, ja se kuluttaa Bosran palatsit.
13 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Ammon because of the many sins that [they] have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because [their soldiers even] ripped open [the bellies of] pregnant women [when their army attacked] the Gilead [region] to gain more territory.
Näin sanoo Herra: Ammonilaisten kolmen rikoksen, neljän rikoksen tähden minun päätökseni on peruuttamaton. Koska he ovat halkaisseet Gileadin raskaat vaimot, laajentaakseen aluettansa,
14 I will cause a fire to [completely] burn the walls around Rabbah [city] and completely burn its fortresses. During that battle, [their enemies] will shout loudly and the fighting will be [like] [MET] a fierce/raging wind/storm.
sentähden minä sytytän tulen Rabban muuria vastaan, ja se kuluttaa sen palatsit, sotahuudon kaikuessa sodan päivänä, myrskyn pauhatessa rajuilman päivänä.
15 [After the battle], the king [of Ammon] and his officials will be (exiled/forced to go to another country).”
Ja heidän kuninkaansa vaeltaa pakkosiirtolaisuuteen, hän ja hänen ruhtinaansa kaikki tyynni, sanoo Herra.
