Amos, 3

1. Listen, Israelites, to this prophecy which Yahweh pronounces against you, against the whole family which I brought up from Egypt:

1. Hört dieses Wort, das der Herr gesprochen hat / über euch, ihr Söhne Israels, über den ganzen Stamm, / den ich aus Ägypten heraufgeführt habe.

2. You alone have I intimately known of all the families of earth, that is why I shall punish you for all your wrong-doings.

2. Nur euch habe ich erwählt / aus allen Stämmen der Erde; darum ziehe ich euch zur Rechenschaft / für alle eure Vergehen.

3. Do two people travel together unless they have agreed to do so?

3. Gehen zwei den gleichen Weg, / ohne dass sie sich verabredet haben?

4. Does the lion roar in the forest if it has no prey? Does the young lion growl in his lair if it has caught nothing?

4. Brüllt der Löwe im Wald / und er hat keine Beute? Gibt der junge Löwe Laut in seinem Versteck, / ohne dass er einen Fang getan hat?

5. Does a bird fall on the ground in a net unless a trap has been set for it? Will the net spring up from the ground without catching something?

5. Fällt ein Vogel zur Erde, / wenn niemand nach ihm geworfen hat? Springt die Klappfalle vom Boden auf, / wenn sie nichts gefangen hat?

6. Does the trumpet sound in the city without the people being alarmed? Does misfortune come to a city if Yahweh has not caused it?

6. Bläst in der Stadt jemand ins Horn, / ohne dass das Volk erschrickt? Geschieht ein Unglück in einer Stadt, / ohne dass der Herr es bewirkt hat?

7. No indeed, Lord Yahweh does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.

7. Nichts tut Gott, der Herr, / ohne dass er seinen Knechten, den Propheten, / zuvor seinen Ratschluss offenbart hat.

8. The lion roars: who is not afraid? Lord Yahweh has spoken: who will not prophesy?

8. Der Löwe brüllt - wer fürchtet sich nicht? / Gott, der Herr, spricht - / wer wird da nicht zum Propheten?6: Joël 2,1

9. From the palace roofs of Assyria and from the palace roofs of Egypt, proclaim aloud, 'Assemble on the hills of Samaria and observe the grave disorders inside her and the acts of oppression there!'

9. Ruft es aus über den Palästen von Aschdod / und über den Palästen in Ägypten! Sagt: Versammelt euch auf den Bergen rings um Samaria, / seht euch das wilde Treiben in der Stadt an / und die Unterdrückung, die dort herrscht.

10. Little they know of right conduct -declares Yahweh- who cram their palaces with violence and extortion.

10. Sie kennen die Rechtschaffenheit nicht - Spruch des Herrn -, / sie sammeln Schätze in ihren Palästen / mit Gewalt und Unterdrückung.

11. This is why -- Lord Yahweh says this- an enemy will soon besiege the land, he will bring down your strength and your palaces will be looted.

11. Darum - so spricht Gott, der Herr: Ein Feind wird das Land umzingeln; / er wird deine Macht niederreißen / und deine Paläste werden geplündert.

12. Yahweh says this: As the shepherd rescues two legs or the tip of an ear from the lion's mouth, so will the children of Israel be salvaged who now loll in Samaria in the corners of their beds, on their divans of Damascus.

12. So spricht der Herr: Wie ein Hirt aus dem Rachen des Löwen / (von einem Schaf) nur zwei Wadenknochen rettet oder den Zipfel eines Ohres, so werden Israels Söhne gerettet, / die in Samaria auf ihrem Diwan sitzen / und auf ihren Polstern aus Damaskus.

13. Listen and testify against the House of Jacob -declares the Lord Yahweh, God Sabaoth-

13. Hört und bezeugt es dem Haus Jakob - / Spruch Gottes, des Herrn, des Gottes der Heere:

14. the day when I punish Israel for his crimes I shall also punish the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be hacked off and will fall to the ground.

14. Ja, an dem Tag, an dem ich Israel / für seine Verbrechen zur Rechenschaft ziehe, / werde ich an den Altären von Bet-El die Strafe vollziehen; die Hörner des Altars werden abgehauen / und fallen zu Boden.

15. I shall blast winter house with summer house, ivory houses will be destroyed and many mansions cease to be -declares Yahweh.

15. Ich zerschlage den Winterpalast und den Sommerpalast, / die Elfenbeinhäuser werden verschwinden und mit den vielen Häusern ist es zu Ende - / Spruch des Herrn.

Lábjegyzetek:

3:1-2 - Amos begins with an appeal to the nation of Israel, reminding them of their unique covenant with God and how this holds them accountable for greater obedience. Israel's choice implies a special responsibility before God (see also Deuteronomy 7:6 and 1 Peter 2:9).

3:3-8 - The prophet uses a series of rhetorical questions to illustrate the inevitability of God's judgment on Israel, indicating that acts of disobedience have consequences. God's revelation and the fulfillment of His plans are inescapable, like the action of a roaring lion (see also Isaiah 31:4 and Jeremiah 25:30).

3:9-10 - God calls the surrounding nations to observe what is happening in Israel, for the nation has been corrupted and violated divine principles. Moral corruption and injustice have repercussions not only for Israel but for the entire world (see also Ezekiel 22:1-4 and Jeremiah 5:30-31).

3:11-15 - Amos announces that foreign invasion will be the instrument of divine judgment. The judgment will be inescapable, affecting every area of Israelite society, from luxurious homes to idolatrous altars. This reflects the totality of the covenantal breach with God (see also Isaiah 5:8-10 and 2 Kings 17:5-6).

3:16-18 - Israel's destruction will be a direct consequence of the broken covenant and the injustices committed. Even the remnant of the nation will suffer, and God promises a final judgment. God's chastening and discipline are intended to call the people to repentance (see also Hebrews 12:5-11 and Revelation 3:19).

This provocative text uses a series of rhetorical questions to emphasize the inevitability of judgment. The chapter highlights the special relationship between God and Israel, and how this increases their guilt. Amos 3 also highlights the role of the prophet as divine spokesman.

Jeremiah 25:30: "Now prophesy against them all these words and say to them, 'The Lord roars from on high; thunders from his holy dwelling and roars mightily against his land. He shouts, like those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.'" - This verse echoes the image of the lion's roar in Amos 3:8, symbolizing God's impending judgment.

Micah 3:8: "But I am filled with the power of the Spirit of the Lord, and with righteousness and strength, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin." - Like Amos in Amos 3:7-8, Micah asserts his prophetic authority to denounce the sins of Israel.

Deuteronomy 7:6: "For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord, your God, chose you from among all the people on the face of the earth to be his people, his personal treasure." - This verse provides context for Amos' statement in Amos 3:2 about Israel's special relationship with God.

Proverbs 16:18: "Pride comes before destruction; the haughty spirit, before the fall." - This proverb reflects Amos' warning in Amos 3:9-15 about the imminent downfall of Israel due to its pride and injustice.

Isaiah 45:7: "I form light and create darkness, I promote peace and cause misfortune; I, the Lord, do all these things." - This verse relates to Amos 3:6, where Amos states that no disaster occurs in the city without the Lord having caused it.
