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.
Las palabras de Amos, que estaba entre los pastores de Tecoa; lo que vio de Israel en los días de Uzías, rey de Judá, y en los días de Jeroboam, hijo de Joás, rey de Israel, dos años antes del 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].”
Y él dijo: El Señor dará un rugido de león desde Sión, su voz sonará desde Jerusalén; y los campos de los criadores de ovejas estarán de duelo, y la parte superior del Carmelo se secará.
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].
Estas son las palabras del Señor: por tres crímenes de Damasco, y por cuatro, no dejaré que cambie su destino; porque trillaron a Galaad con instrumentos de trituración de hierro.
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.
Y enviaré fuego a la casa de Hazael, quemando las grandes casas 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].”
Y tendré las cerraduras de la puerta de Damasco rotas, y al que está sentado en el poder lo exterminare del valle de Avén, y aquel en cuya mano está gobierno de la casa del Edén; y la gente de Siria se irá como prisioneros a Kir, dice el Señor.
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.
Estas son las palabras del Señor: por tres crímenes de Gaza, y por cuatro, no dejaré que cambie su destino; porque se llevaron a toda la gente prisioneros, para entregarlos a Edom.
7 I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Gaza and [also] destroy its fortresses.
Y enviaré un incendio al muro de Gaza, quemando sus palacios.
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.”
Al que está sentado en el poder, lo habré cortado de Asdod, y aquel que gobierna en Ascalon; y mi mano se volverá contra Ecrón, y el resto de los filisteos vendrán a la destrucción, dice el Señor Dios.
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].
Estas son las palabras del Señor: por tres crímenes de Tiro, y por cuatro, no dejaré que cambie su destino; porque entregaron a todos los prisioneros a Edom, sin pensar en el acuerdo de los hermanos entre ellos.
10 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Tyre and [also] destroy its fortresses.”
Y enviaré fuego sobre el muro de Tiro, quemando sus palacios.
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].
Estas son las palabras del Señor: por tres crímenes de Edom, y por cuatro, no dejaré que cambie su destino; porque su espada se volvió contra su hermano, sin piedad, y su ira ardía en todo momento, y estaba enojado para siempre.
12 I will cause a fire to burn Teman [district in Edom] and completely burn the fortresses of Bozrah, [the biggest city in Edom].”
Y enviaré fuego a Teman, quemando los palacios de Bosra.
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.
Estas son las palabras del Señor: por tres crímenes de los hijos de Amón, y por cuatro, no revocara su castigo; porque en Galaad abrían los vientres de las mujeres embarazadas, con el fin de ampliar los límites de sus tierras.
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.
Y haré un fuego en el muro de Rabá, quemando sus palacios, en medio de gritos en el día de la batalla, en medio de una tempestad, en el día de la tormenta.
15 [After the battle], the king [of Ammon] and his officials will be (exiled/forced to go to another country).”
Y su rey será hecho prisionero, él y sus capitanes juntos, dice el Señor.
