< Amos 1 >
1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what he saw about Israel in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earth-shock.
As palavras de Amós, que estava entre os pastores de Tecoa, as quais ele viu sobre Israel nos dias de Uzias rei de Judá, e nos dias de Jeroboão, filho de Joás, rei de Israel, dois anos antes do terremoto.
2 And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.
E disse: O SENHOR bramará desde Sião, e dará sua voz desde Jerusalém; e as habitações dos pastores se prantearão, e o topo do Carmelo se secará.
3 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.
Assim diz o SENHOR: Por três transgressões de Damasco, e pela quarta, não desviarei [seu castigo]; porque trilharam a Gileade com trilhos de ferro.
4 And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.
Por isso meterei fogo na casa de Hazael, que consumirá os palácios de Ben-Hadade.
5 And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.
E quebrarei o ferrolho de Damasco, e exterminarei o morador do vale de Áven, e o dono do cetro de de Bete-Éden; e o povo da Síria será levado em cativeiro a Quir, diz o SENHOR.
6 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.
Assim diz o SENHOR: Por três transgressões de Gaza, e pela quarta, não desviarei [seu castigo]; pois levaram a todos do povo em cativeiro, para os entregar a Edom.
7 And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:
Por isso meterei fogo no muro de Gaza, que consumirá seus palácios.
8 Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.
E exterminarei o morador de Asdode, e o dono do cetro de Asquelom; e tornarei minha mão contra Ecrom, e o resto dos filisteus perecerá, diz o Senhor DEUS.
9 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.
Assim diz o SENHOR: Por três transgressões de Tiro, e pela quarta, não desviarei [seu castigo]; porque entregaram todo o povo em cativeiro a Edom, e não se lembraram do pacto de irmãos.
10 And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.
Por isso meterei fogo no muro de Tiro, que consumirá seus palácios.
11 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.
Assim diz o SENHOR: Por três transgressões de Edom, e pela quarta, não desviarei [seu castigo]; porque perseguiu seu irmão à espada, e extinguiu suas misericórdias; e sua ira [o] despedaçou continuamente, e mantém sua indignação eternamente.
12 And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.
Por isso meterei fogo em Temã, que consumirá os palácios de Bosra.
13 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.
Assim diz o SENHOR: Por três transgressões dos filhos de Amom, e pelo quarta, não desviarei [seu castigo]; porque rasgaram o ventre das grávidas de Gileade, para expandirem seus territórios.
14 And I will make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:
Por isso acenderei fogo no muro de Rabá, que consumirá seus palácios com grito no dia de batalha, com tempestade no dia do vento forte.
15 And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
E seu rei irá ao cativeiro, e junto dele seus príncipes, diz o SENHOR.
