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.
As palavras de Amós, que estava entre os pastores de Tecoa, que ele viu a respeito de Israel nos dias de Uzias, rei de Judá, e nos dias de Jeroboão, filho de Joás, rei de Israel, dois anos antes do terremoto.
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].”
disse ele: “Yahweh bramirá de Zion, e pronunciar sua voz a partir de Jerusalém; e os pastos dos pastores chorarão, e o topo do Carmel murchará”.
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].
diz Yahweh: “Para três transgressões de Damasco, sim, para quatro”, Eu não vou recusar sua punição, porque eles debulharam Gilead com instrumentos de debulha de ferro;
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.
but Vou mandar um incêndio para a casa de Hazael, e devorará os palácios de Ben Hadad.
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].”
Vou quebrar a barra de Damasco, e cortar o habitante do vale de Aven, e aquele que segura o ceptro da casa do Éden; e o povo da Síria irá em cativeiro para Kir”. diz Yahweh.
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.
diz Yahweh: “Para três transgressões de Gaza, sim, para quatro”, Eu não vou recusar sua punição, porque levaram em cativeiro toda a comunidade, para entregá-los à Edom;
7 I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Gaza and [also] destroy its fortresses.
but Enviarei um incêndio no muro de Gaza, e devorará seus palácios.
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.”
Vou cortar o habitante de Ashdod, e aquele que detém o ceptro de Ashkelon; e eu vou virar minha mão contra Ekron; e o remanescente dos filisteus perecerá”. diz o Senhor Yahweh.
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].
diz Yahweh: “Para três transgressões de Tiro, sim, para quatro”, Eu não vou recusar sua punição; porque eles entregaram toda a comunidade à Edom, e não se lembrava do convênio fraterno;
10 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Tyre and [also] destroy its fortresses.”
but Vou mandar um incêndio na parede de Tyre, e devorará seus palácios”.
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].
diz Yahweh: “Para três transgressões de Edom, sim, para quatro”, Eu não vou recusar sua punição, porque ele perseguiu seu irmão com a espada e lançar fora toda piedade, e sua raiva se enfurecia continuamente, e ele manteve sua ira para sempre;
12 I will cause a fire to burn Teman [district in Edom] and completely burn the fortresses of Bozrah, [the biggest city in Edom].”
but Vou mandar um incêndio em Teman, e devorará os palácios de Bozrah”.
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.
diz Yahweh: “Para três transgressões das crianças de Ammon, sim, para quatro”, Eu não vou recusar sua punição, porque rasgaram as mulheres grávidas de Gilead, que eles possam ampliar sua fronteira.
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.
Mas eu acenderei um fogo na parede de Rabbah, e devorará seus palácios, com gritos no dia da batalha, com uma tempestade no dia do redemoinho;
15 [After the battle], the king [of Ammon] and his officials will be (exiled/forced to go to another country).”
e seu rei irão para o cativeiro, ele e seus príncipes juntos”. diz Yahweh.
