< Amos 1 >
1 THE WORDS of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning 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 Thecue: quae vidit super Israel in diebus Oziae regis Iuda, et in diebus Ieroboam filii Ioas regis Israel, ante duos annos terraemotus.
2 And he said: The LORD roareth from Zion, and uttereth His voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
Et dixit: Dominus de Sion rugiet, et de Ierusalem dabit vocem suam: et luxerunt speciosa pastorum, et exiccatus est vertex Carmeli.
3 For thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have threshed Gilead with sledges of iron.
Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Damasci, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod trituraverint in plaustris ferreis Galaad.
4 So will I send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad;
Et mittam ignem in domum Azael, et devorabit domos Benadad.
5 And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from Bikath-Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-eden; and the people of Aram shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith 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 saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they carried away captive a whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom.
Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Gazae, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod transtulerint captivitatem perfectam, ut concluderent eam in Idumaea.
7 So will I send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces thereof;
Et mittam ignem in murum Gazae, et devorabit aedes eius.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; and I will turn My hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith 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 saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they delivered up a whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant.
Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Tyri, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod concluserint captivitatem perfectam in Idumaea, et non sint recordati foederis fratrum.
10 So will I send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
Et mittam ignem in murum Tyri, et devorabit aedes eius.
11 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever.
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 So will I send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
Mittam ignem in Theman: et devorabit aedes Bosrae.
13 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.
Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus filiorum Ammon, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod dissecuerit praegnantes Galaad ad dilatandum terminum suum.
14 So will I kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
Et succendam ignem in muro Rabbath: et devorabit aedes eius in ululatu in die belli, et in turbine in die commotionis.
15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
Et ibit Melchom in captivitatem, ipse, et principes eius simul, dicit Dominus.
