< Amos 1 >

1 The words of 'Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he foresaw concerning Israel in the days of 'Uzziyah the king of Judah, and in the days of Jerobo'am the son of Joash the 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 cry aloud out of Zion, and from Jerusalem will he send forth his voice; and then shall mourn the pastures of the shepherds, and then shall dry up the top of Carmel.
et dixit Dominus de Sion rugiet et de Hierusalem dabit vocem suam et luxerunt speciosa pastorum et exsiccatus est vertex Carmeli
3 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have threshed [the inhabitants of] Gil'ad with threshing instruments of iron;
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 a fire into the house of Chazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
et mittam ignem in domum Azahel et devorabit domos Benadad
5 And I will break the bars of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitants from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of 'Eden: and the people of Syria shall be exiled 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 hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Gazzah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they carried away exiles in full numbers, to deliver them up to Edom;
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 against the wall of Gazzah, which shall devour her palaces;
et mittam ignem in murum Gazae et devorabit aedes eius
8 And I will cut off the inhabitants 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 Eternal.
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 hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they delivered up the exiles in full numbers 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 Idumea et non sint recordati foederis fratrum
10 And I will send a fire against the walls of Tyre, which shall devour her palaces.
et emittam ignem in murum Tyri et devorabit aedes eius
11 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he pursued with the sword his brother, and disregarded his mercy, and his anger tore in pieces continually, 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 And I will send out a fire against Theman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
mittam ignem in Theman et devorabit aedes Bosrae
13 Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of the children of 'Ammon, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have ripped up the pregnant women of Gil'ad, in order to enlarge their own territory;
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 kindle a fire within the walls of Rabbah, which shall devour her palaces, with shouting on the day of battle, with a storm on the day of the tempest;
et succendam ignem in muro Rabbae et devorabit aedes eius in ululatu in die belli et in turbine in die commotionis
15 And their king shall go into exile, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
et ibit Melchom in captivitatem ipse et principes eius simul dicit Dominus
