< Amos 1 >

1 The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa, which 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 earthquake.
verba Amos qui fuit in pastoralibus de Thecuae quae vidit super Israhel in diebus Oziae regis Iuda et in diebus Hieroboam filii Ioas regis Israhel ante duos annos terraemotus
2 And he said: The Lord will roar from Zion, and from Jerusalem he will utter his voice. And the beautiful pastures have mourned, and the top of Carmel has become dry.
et dixit Dominus de Sion rugiet et de Hierusalem dabit vocem suam et luxerunt speciosa pastorum et exsiccatus est vertex Carmeli
3 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Damascus, and for four, I will not convert it, in so far as they have threshed Gilead into iron wagons.
haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Damasci et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod trituraverint in plaustris ferreis Galaad
4 And I will send fire onto the house of Hazael, and it will devour the houses of Ben-hadad.
et mittam ignem in domum Azahel et devorabit domos Benadad
5 And I will shatter the crowbar of Damascus, and I will destroy the inhabitants of the camp of the idol and the holder of the scepter of the house of pleasure; and the people of Syria will be transferred to Cyrene, says the Lord.
et conteram vectem Damasci et disperdam habitatorem de campo Idoli et tenentem sceptrum de domo Voluptatis et transferetur populus Syriae Cyrenen dicit Dominus
6 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Gaza, and for four, I will not convert it, in so far as they have carried out an excellent captivity, so as to enclose them in Idumea.
haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Gazae et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod transtulerit captivitatem perfectam ut concluderet eam in Idumea
7 And I will send a fire onto the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its buildings.
et mittam ignem in murum Gazae et devorabit aedes eius
8 And I will destroy the inhabitant from Ashdod, and the holder of the scepter of Ashkelon. And I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remainder of the Philistines will perish, says the Lord God.
et disperdam habitatorem de Azoto et tenentem sceptrum de Ascalone et convertam manum meam super Accaron et peribunt reliqui Philisthinorum dicit Dominus Deus
9 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Tyre, and for four, I will not convert it, in so far as they have completed an excellent captivity in Idumea and have not considered the bond among brothers.
haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Tyri et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod concluserint captivitatem perfectam in Idumea et non sint recordati foederis fratrum
10 And I will send a fire onto the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its buildings.
et emittam ignem in murum Tyri et devorabit aedes eius
11 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Edom, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has been pursuing his brother with the sword and has outraged his brother’s compassion, and he has gone beyond his anger and has held onto his indignation until the end.
haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Edom et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod persecutus sit in gladio fratrem suum et violaverit misericordiam eius et tenuerit ultra furorem suum et indignationem suam servaverit usque in finem
12 I will send a fire onto Teman, and it will devour the buildings of Bozrah.
mittam ignem in Theman et devorabit aedes Bosrae
13 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has cut up the pregnant women of Gilead, so as to expand his limits.
haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus filiorum Ammon et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod dissecuerit praegnantes Galaad ad dilatandum terminum suum
14 And I will ignite a fire on the wall of Rabbah. And it will devour its buildings, with wailing on the day of war, and with a whirlwind on the day of commotion.
et succendam ignem in muro Rabbae et devorabit aedes eius in ululatu in die belli et in turbine in die commotionis
15 And Melchom will go into captivity, he and his leaders together, says the Lord.
et ibit Melchom in captivitatem ipse et principes eius simul dicit Dominus
