Amos 4
1 You [wealthy women] of Samaria [have grown fat like] [MET] the fat cows of the Bashan [region]. You oppress poor people and you cause needy people to suffer. And you say to your husbands, “Bring us [more wine] to drink!”
Ouvi esta palavra, vós, vaccas de Basan, vós, que estaes no monte de Samaria, vós, que opprimis aos pobres, que quebrantaes os necessitados, vós, que dizeis a seus senhores: Dae cá, para que bebamos.
2 But Yahweh [our] God has said this: “Because I am holy, I solemnly promise this: It will [soon] be the time when you all will be taken [to another country]; [your enemies will take you away as though they are] using sharp hooks [DOU] [to grab you].
Jurou o Senhor Jehovah, pela sua sanctidade, que eis que dias estão para vir sobre vós, em que vos levarão com anzoes e a vossos descendentes com anzoes de pesca.
3 [Your enemies] will drag you out through breaks/holes [in your city walls], and they will throw you outside the city. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!
E saireis pelas brechas, uma após outra, e lançareis fóra o que levastes para o palacio, disse o Senhor.
4 Go to Bethel and Gilgal [towns where many people worship me] and sin more and more [SAR]! [I say that not because I want you to do it], [but because it is what you have always been doing]! Offer sacrifices on the morning [after you arrive], [and bring me] (a tithe/one tenth) of your crops the next day.
Vinde a Beth-el, e transgredi, em Gilgal augmentae as transgressões, e de manhã trazei os vossos sacrificios, e os vossos dizimos ao terceiro dia.
5 Bring offerings of bread to thank me, and [other] offerings that are not required/commanded, and boast about [these offerings that you bring], because that is what you like to do, [but you do it to impress others, not to please me]. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it.
E queimae o sacrificio de louvores do pão levedado, e apregoae os sacrificios voluntarios, fazei-o ouvir; porque assim o quereis, ó filhos de Israel, disse o Senhor Jehovah.
6 I [am the one who] caused there to be no food in any of your cities and towns [DOU], but you rejected me in spite of that.
Por isso tambem vos dei limpeza de dentes em todas as vossas cidades, e falta de pão em todos os vossos logares; comtudo não vos convertestes a mim, disse o Senhor.
7 When it was still three months before [the time of] harvesting [crops], [at the time when your crops needed rain the most], I prevented rain from falling. [Sometimes] I allowed rain to fall on some towns and prevented it from falling on other towns. Rain fell on some fields, but it did not fall on other fields, with the result that [the soil in] those fields [where it did not rain] dried up.
Além d'isso, retive de vós a chuva, faltando ainda tres mezes até á sega; e fiz chover sobre uma cidade, e sobre outra cidade não fiz chover; sobre um campo choveu, mas o outro, sobre o qual não choveu, se seccou.
8 People would stagger from one town to another town to find water, but they could not even get enough water to drink, but in spite of that, you have not returned to me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
E andaram vagabundas duas ou tres cidades a uma cidade, para beberem agua, mas não se saciaram: comtudo não vos convertestes a mim, disse o Senhor.
9 I caused your grain fields to dry up; I caused your gardens and vineyards to be struck/destroyed by (blight/hot winds) and mildew. [I sent] locusts to eat [the leaves on] your fig trees and olive trees, but in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
Feri-vos com queimadura, e com ferrugem; a multidão das vossas hortas, e das vossas vinhas, e das vossas figueiras, e das vossas oliveiras, comeu a locusta; comtudo não vos convertestes a mim, disse o Senhor.
10 I caused you to experience (plagues/severe sicknesses) like the plagues [that I sent to the people] of Egypt. I caused [many of] your young men to die in battles. I allowed [your enemies] to capture your horses. [Many of your soldiers were killed, ] and I caused your camps to be filled with the smell/stink of their [decaying] corpses. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because] I, Yahweh, have said it!
Enviei a peste contra vós, á maneira do Egypto: os vossos mancebos matei á espada, e os vossos cavallos deixei levar presos, e o fedor dos vossos exercitos fiz subir aos vossos narizes; comtudo não vos convertestes a mim, disse o Senhor.
11 I got rid of many of you, like I got rid of [the people in] Sodom and Gomorrah. [Those of] you who [did not die] were like [SIM] a burning stick that was snatched from a fire [so that it would not burn completely]. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it!
Subverti a alguns d'entre vós, como Deus subverteu a Sodoma e Gomorrah, sendo vós como um tição arrebatado do incendio; comtudo não vos convertestes a mim, disse o Senhor.
12 So [now], you [people of] Israel, I am going to punish you. Prepare to stand in front of me, your God, [when I judge you]!
Portanto, assim te farei, ó Israel! Porquanto pois isto te farei, prepara-te, ó Israel, a encontrares o teu Deus.
13 I created the mountains, and [I] created winds. I reveal to humans what I am thinking. I [sometimes] cause the daylight to become dark [like the night]. I [rule over everything]; I [even] walk on the highest mountains on the earth! I am the Commander of the armies of angels!”
Porque eis que o que fórma os montes, e cria o vento, e declara ao homem qual seja o seu pensamento, o que faz da manhã trevas, e piza os altos da terra, o Senhor Deus dos Exercitos é o seu nome.
