Amos 1
1 This is the message that [Yahweh] gave to [me], Amos. I am a (shepherd/man who takes care of sheep). I am from [near] Tekoa [town south of Jerusalem]. I received this message about Israel in a vision two years before the [big] earthquake. It was when Uzziah was the king of Judah, and Jeroboam, the son of [King] Jehoash, was the king of Israel.
| آنها را در ایام عزیا، پادشاه یهودا و ایام یربعام بن یوآش، پادشاه اسرائیل در سال قبل اززلزله درباره اسرائیل دید. | ۱ |
2 This is what Yahweh said: “I will roar [like a lion] [MET]; when I speak from Zion [Hill in] Jerusalem [DOU], my voice will [resemble the sound of] thunder. [When that happens], the pastures where you shepherds [take care of] your sheep will dry up, and [the grass] on top of Carmel [Mountain] will (wither/become brown) [because I will cause that no rain will fall].”
| پس گفت: خداوند ازصهیون نعره می‌زند و آواز خود را از اورشلیم بلند می‌کند و مرتع های شبانان ماتم می‌گیرند وقله کرمل خشک می‌گردد. | ۲ |
3 This is [also] what Yahweh said [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Damascus, [the capital of Syria, ] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not [change my mind about punishing them] [MTY], because [the cruel things that they did to the people of the] Gilead [region] [were like] [MET] people threshing grain using sledges [that have (iron teeth/sharp iron nails) in them].
| خداوند چنین می‌گوید: به‌سبب سه و چهارتقصیر دمشق عقوبتش را نخواهم برگردانید زیراکه جلعاد را به چومهای آهنین کوفتند. | ۳ |
4 I will cause a fire to burn the palace [that King] Hazael [built and lived in], the fortress where [his son King] Ben-Hadad [also] lived.
| پس آتش در خاندان حزائیل خواهم فرستاد تاقصرهای بنهدد را بسوزاند. | ۴ |
5 I will cause the gates of Damascus to be broken [down]; I will get rid of the king who rules in Aven Valley and the one who rules in Beth Eden. And the people of Syria will be captured and taken to the Kir [region where they originally lived].”
| و پشت بندهای دمشق را خواهم شکست و ساکنان را از همواری آون و صاحب عصا را از بیت عدن منقطع خواهم ساخت و خداوند می‌گوید که قوم ارام به قیر به اسیری خواهند رفت. | ۵ |
6 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of the cities in Philistia]: [I will punish the people of] Gaza [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they captured large groups of people and took them to Edom and sold them to become the slaves of [the people of] Edom.
| خداوند چنین می‌گوید: به‌سبب سه و چهارتقصیر غزه عقوبتش را نخواهم برگردانید زیرا که تمامی (قوم را) به اسیری بردند تا ایشان را به ادوم تسلیم نمایند. | ۶ |
7 I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Gaza and [also] destroy its fortresses.
| پس آتش به حصارهای غزه خواهم فرستاد تا قصرهایش را بسوزاند. | ۷ |
8 I will get rid of the king of Ashdod [city] and the king who rules [MTY] in Ashkelon [city]. I will [also] strike/punish [the people of] Ekron [city], and [all] the people of Philistia who are still alive will be killed.”
| وساکنان را از اشدود و صاحب عصا را از اشقلون منقطع ساخته، دست خود را به عقرون فرودخواهم آورد و خداوند یهوه می‌گوید که باقی ماندگان فلسطینیان هلاک خواهند شد. | ۸ |
9 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Tyre [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [also] captured large groups of our people and took them to Edom, disregarding the treaty of friendship that they had made [with your rulers].
| خداوند چنین می‌گوید: به‌سبب سه و چهارتقصیر صور عقوبتش را نخواهم برگردانید زیرا که تمامی (قوم را) به اسیری برده، ایشان را به ادوم تسلیم نمودند و عهد برادران را به یاد نیاوردند. | ۹ |
10 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Tyre and [also] destroy its fortresses.”
| پس آتش بر حصارهای صور خواهم فرستاد تاقصرهایش را بسوزاند. | ۱۰ |
11 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Edom because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they pursued the people [of Israel], who descended from Esau’s [brother Jacob, and killed them] with swords; they did not act mercifully toward them at all. They were extremely angry [with the people of Israel], and they continued to be angry [with them].
| خداوند چنین می‌گوید: به‌سبب سه وچهار تقصیر ادوم عقوبتش را نخواهم برگردانیدزیرا که برادر خود را به شمشیر تعاقب نمود ورحمهای خویش را تباه ساخت و خشم اوپیوسته می‌درید و غضب خود را دایم نگاه می‌داشت. | ۱۱ |
12 I will cause a fire to burn Teman [district in Edom] and completely burn the fortresses of Bozrah, [the biggest city in Edom].”
| پس آتش بر تیمان خواهم فرستادتا قصرهای بصره را بسوزاند. | ۱۲ |
13 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Ammon because of the many sins that [they] have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because [their soldiers even] ripped open [the bellies of] pregnant women [when their army attacked] the Gilead [region] to gain more territory.
| خداوند چنین می‌گوید: به‌سبب سه وچهار تقصیر بنی عمون عقوبتش را نخواهم برگردانید زیرا که زنان حامله جلعاد را شکم پاره کردند تا حدود خویش را وسیع گردانند. | ۱۳ |
14 I will cause a fire to [completely] burn the walls around Rabbah [city] and completely burn its fortresses. During that battle, [their enemies] will shout loudly and the fighting will be [like] [MET] a fierce/raging wind/storm.
| پس آتش در حصارهای ربه مشتعل خواهم ساخت تاقصرهایش را با صدای عظیمی در روز جنگ و باتندبادی در روز طوفان بسوزاند. | ۱۴ |
15 [After the battle], the king [of Ammon] and his officials will be (exiled/forced to go to another country).”
| و خداوندمی گوید که پادشاه ایشان به اسیری خواهد رفت او و سرورانش جمیع. | ۱۵ |
