< 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.
Las palabras de Amós, que estaba entre los pastores de Tecoa, que vio 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 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.
Dijo: “Yahvé rugirá desde Sión, y pronuncie su voz desde Jerusalén; y los pastos de los pastores estarán de luto, y la cima del Carmelo se marchitará”.
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.
Yahvé dice: “Por tres transgresiones de Damasco, sí, por cuatro, No rechazaré su castigo, porque han trillado Galaad con trillos de hierro;
4 And I will send fire onto the house of Hazael, and it will devour the houses of Ben-hadad.
pero enviaré fuego a la casa de Hazael, y devorará los palacios de Ben Hadad.
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.
Romperé la barra de Damasco, y cortar el habitante del valle de Aven, y el que tiene el cetro de la casa del Edén; y el pueblo de Siria irá en cautiverio a Kir,” dice Yahvé.
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.
Yahvé dice: “Por tres transgresiones de Gaza, sí, por cuatro, No rechazaré su castigo, porque se llevaron cautiva a toda la comunidad, para entregarlos a Edom;
7 And I will send a fire onto the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its buildings.
pero enviaré un fuego sobre el muro de Gaza, y devorará sus palacios.
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.
Cortaré al habitante de Asdod, y el que tiene el cetro de Ashkelon; y volveré mi mano contra Ecrón; y el remanente de los filisteos perecerá”. dice el Señor Yahvé.
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.
Yahvé dice: “Por tres transgresiones de Tiro, sí, por cuatro, No rechazaré su castigo; porque entregaron toda la comunidad a Edom, y no recordaba el pacto entre hermanos;
10 And I will send a fire onto the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its buildings.
pero enviaré un fuego sobre el muro de Tiro, y devorará sus palacios”.
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.
Yahvé dice: “Por tres transgresiones de Edom, sí, por cuatro, No rechazaré su castigo, porque persiguió a su hermano con la espada y desechar toda piedad, y su cólera no cesaba, y guardó su ira para siempre;
12 I will send a fire onto Teman, and it will devour the buildings of Bozrah.
pero enviaré un fuego sobre Temán, y devorará los palacios de Bozra”.
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.
Yahvé dice: “Por tres transgresiones de los hijos de Amón, sí, por cuatro, No rechazaré su castigo, porque han desgarrado a las mujeres embarazadas de Galaad, para que puedan ampliar su frontera.
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.
Pero yo encenderé un fuego en el muro de Rabá, y devorará sus palacios, con gritos en el día de la batalla, con una tormenta en el día del torbellino;
15 And Melchom will go into captivity, he and his leaders together, says the Lord.
y su rey irán al cautiverio, él y sus príncipes juntos,” dice Yahvé.
