< Amos 1 >

1 Words of Amos—who has been among herdsmen of Tekoa—that he has seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
As palavras de Amós, que era d'entre os pastores de Tecoa, as quaes viu sobre Israel, nos dias de Uzias, rei de Judah, e nos dias de Jeroboão, filho de Joás, rei de Israel, dois annos antes do terremoto.
2 and he says, “YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And pastures of the shepherds have mourned, And the top of Carmel has withered!”
E disse: O Senhor bramará de Sião, e de Jerusalem dará a sua voz: as habitações dos pastores prantearão, e seccar-se-ha o cume do Carmelo.
3 And thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
Assim diz o Senhor: Por tres transgressões de Damasco, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque trilharam a Gilead com trilhos de ferro.
4 And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it has consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
Por isso porei fogo á casa de Hazael, e consumirá os palacios de Benhadad.
5 And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a scepter from Beth-Eden, And the people of Aram have been removed to Kir,” said YHWH.
E quebrarei o ferrolho de Damasco, e exterminarei o morador de Biqueat-aven, e ao que tem o sceptro de Beth-eden; e o povo da Syria será levado em captiveiro a Kir, diz o Senhor.
6 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,
Assim diz o Senhor: Por tres transgressões de Gaza, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque levaram em captiveiro todos os captivos para os entregarem a Edom.
7 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it has consumed her palaces;
Por isso porei fogo ao muro de Gaza, que consumirá os seus palacios.
8 And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a scepter from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And the remnant of the Philistines have perished,” said Lord YHWH.
E exterminarei o morador de Asdod, e o que tem o sceptro de Ascalon, e tornarei a minha mão contra Ecron; e o resto dos philisteos perecerá, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
9 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they did not remember the brotherly covenant,
Assim diz o Senhor: Por tres transgressões de Tyro, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque entregaram todos os captivos a Edom, e não se lembraram da alliança dos irmãos.
10 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it has consumed her palaces.”
Por isso porei fogo ao muro de Tyro, que consumirá os seus palacios.
11 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing his brother with a sword, And he has destroyed his mercies, And his anger tears continuously, And his wrath—he has kept it forever,
Assim diz o Senhor: Por tres transgressões de Edom, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque perseguiu a seu irmão á espada, e corrompeu as suas misericordias; e a sua ira despedaça eternamente, e retem a sua indignação para sempre
12 And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it has consumed palaces of Bozrah.”
Por isso porei fogo a Teman, que consumirá os palacios de Bozra.
13 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border,
Assim diz o Senhor: Por tres transgressões dos filhos de Ammon, e por quatro, não o afastarei, porque fenderam as gravidas de Gilead, para dilatarem os seus termos.
14 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it has consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of windstorm,
Por isso porei fogo ao muro de Rabba, que consumirá os seus palacios, com alarido no dia da batalha, com tempestade no dia da tormenta.
15 And their king has gone in a removal, He and his heads together,” said YHWH!
E o seu rei irá para o captiveiro, elle e os seus principes juntamente, diz o Senhor.
