< 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, uno de los pastores de Tecoa. Visión que tuvo sobre Israel en los días de Uzías, 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: ¡Yavé ruge desde Sion, y alza su voz desde Jerusalén! Los pastizales de los pastores hacen duelo, y la cumbre de la montaña Carmelo se seca.
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.
Yavé dice: Por tres transgresiones de Damasco, y por la cuarta, no revocaré su castigo: 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.
Encenderé fuego en la casa de Hazael que devorará los palacios de Ben-adad.
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 el cerrojo de Damasco, destruiré a los habitantes del valle de Avén y al que empuña el cetro de Bet-edén. El pueblo de Aram irá desterrado a Kir, dice Yavé.
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.
Yavé dice: Por tres transgresiones de Gaza, y por la cuarta, no revocaré el juicio: Porque deportaron a un pueblo entero para entregarlo a Edom.
7 And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:
Enviaré fuego al muro de Gaza, el cual 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.
Destruiré a los habitantes de Asdod, y al que empuña el cetro en Ascalón. Volveré mi mano contra Ecrón, y el resto de los filisteos perecerá, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
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.
Yavé dice: Por tres pecados de Tiro, y por el cuarto, no revocaré su castigo: Porque entregaron una población entera a Edom y no recordaron el pacto fraternal.
10 And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.
Enviaré fuego sobre los muros de Tiro, el cual 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.
Yavé dice: Por tres pecados de Edom, y por el cuarto, no revocaré su castigo: Porque persiguió con espada a su hermano y no tuvo compasión. Porque su ira desgarra continuamente y retiene su furor para siempre,
12 And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.
enviaré un fuego sobre 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.
Yavé dice: Por tres pecados de los hijos de Amón, y por el cuarto, no revocaré su castigo: Porque para ampliar sus linderos cortaron por el medio a las mujeres embarazadas 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 en el muro de Rabá. Devorará sus palacios en medio de los alaridos del día de batalla y de una tormenta en día tempestuoso.
15 And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
El rey y todos sus jefes irán en cautiverio, dice Yavé.
