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.
Palabras de Amós, de los pastores de Tecoa, (o sea), visiones que tuvo en orden a Israel, en los días de Ocías, rey de Judá, y en los días de Jeroboam, hijo de Joás, rey de Israel; dos años antes del 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.
Dijo: “Ruge Yahvé desde Sión, desde Jerusalén hace oír su voz; estarán de luto los pastos de los pastores, y se secará la cumbre del Carmelo.”
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.
Así dice Yahvé: “Por tres pecados de Damasco, y por cuatro, no le doy perdón: Porque trillaron a Galaad con trillos de hierro,
4 And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.
enviaré fuego contra la casa de Hazael, que consumirá los palacios de Benhadad,
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.
quebraré los cerrojos de Damasco, extirparé del valle de Avén a los habitantes y de Bet-Edén a aquel que empuña el cetro; y el pueblo de Siria irá cautivo a Kir”, dice Yahvé.
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.
Así dice Yahvé: “Por tres pecados de Gaza, por cuatro, no le doy perdón: Porque se llevaron muchedumbres de cautivos para entregarlos a Edom,
7 And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:
enviaré fuego contra los muros de Gaza, que devorará sus palacios;
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.
exterminaré de Azoto a los habitantes, y de Ascalón al que empuña el cetro; volveré mi mano contra Acarón, y perecerá el resto de los filisteos”, dice Yahvé, el Señor.
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.
Así dice Yahvé: “Por tres pecados de Tiro, y por cuatro, no le doy perdón: Porque entregaron a Edom muchedumbres de cautivos, y no se acordaron de la fraternal alianza,
10 And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.
enviaré fuego contra los muros de Tiro, que devorará sus palacios.”
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.
Así dice Yahvé: “Por tres pecados de Idumea, y por cuatro, no le doy perdón: Porque persiguió, espada en mano, a su hermano, ahogando la compasión, y porque en su ira no dejó de destrozar, guardando para siempre su rencor,
12 And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.
enviaré fuego contra Temán, que devorará los palacios 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.
Así dice Yahvé: “Por tres pecados de los ammonitas, y por cuatro, no les doy perdón: Porque para extender sus términos rajaron a las encintas de Galaad,
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:
encenderé un fuego sobre los muros de Rabbá, que devorará sus palacios, entre los alaridos del día de la batalla, en medio del torbellino en el día de la tempestad;
15 And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
y su rey irá al cautiverio, él y sus príncipes juntamente”, dice Yahvé.
