Amos 1
1 These are the things concerning Israel that Amos, one of the shepherds in Tekoa, received in revelation. He received these things in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and also in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
Verba Amos, qui fuit in pastoribus de Thecue: quæ vidit super Israel in diebus Oziæ regis Iuda, et in diebus Ieroboam filii Ioas regis Israel, ante duos annos terræmotus.
2 He said, “Yahweh will roar from Zion; he will raise his voice from Jerusalem. The pastures of the shepherds will dry up; the top of Carmel will wither.”
Et dixit: Dominus de Sion rugiet, et de Ierusalem dabit vocem suam: et luxerunt speciosa pastorum, et exiccatus est vertex Carmeli.
3 This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Damascus, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they threshed Gilead with instruments of iron.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Damasci, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod trituraverint in plaustris ferreis Galaad.
4 I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it will devour the fortresses of Ben Hadad.
Et mittam ignem in domum Azael, et devorabit domos Benadad.
5 I will break the gate bars of Damascus and cut off the man who rules over the Valley of Aven, and also the man who holds the scepter in Beth Eden. The people of Aram will go in captivity to Kir,” says Yahweh.
Et conteram vectem Damasci: et disperdam habitatorem de campo idoli, et tenentem sceptrum de domo voluptatis: et transferetur populus Syriæ Cyrenen, dicit Dominus.
6 This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Gaza, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they carried away captive a whole people, to hand them over to Edom.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Gazæ, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod transtulerint captivitatem perfectam, ut concluderent eam in Idumæa.
7 I will send fire on the walls of Gaza, and it will devour her fortresses.
Et mittam ignem in murum Gazæ, et devorabit ædes eius.
8 I will cut off the man who lives in Ashdod and the man who holds the scepter from Ashkelon. I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will perish,” says the Lord Yahweh.
Et disperdam habitatorem de Azoto, et tenentem sceptrum de Ascalone: et convertam manum meam super Accaron, et peribunt reliqui Philisthinorum, dicit Dominus Deus.
9 This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Tyre, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they had delivered up a whole people to Edom, and they broke their covenant of brotherhood.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Tyri, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod concluserint captivitatem perfectam in Idumæa, et non sint recordati fœderis fratrum.
10 I will send fire on the walls of Tyre, and it will devour her fortresses.”
Et mittam ignem in murum Tyri, et devorabit ædes eius.
11 This is what Yahweh says, “For three sins of Edom, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and cast off all pity. His anger raged continually, and his wrath lasted forever.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Edom, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod persecutus sit in gladio fratrem suum, et violaverit misericordiam eius, et tenuerit ultra furorem suum, et indignationem suam servaverit usque in finem.
12 I will send fire on Teman, and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
Mittam ignem in Theman: et devorabit ædes Bosræ.
13 This is what Yahweh says, “For three sins of the people of Ammon, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, that they may enlarge their borders.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus filiorum Ammon, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod dissecuerit prægnantes Galaad ad dilatandum terminum suum.
14 I will light a fire in the walls of Rabbah, and it will devour the palaces, with a shout in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.
Et succendam ignem in muro Rabba: et devorabit ædes eius in ululatu in die belli, et in turbine in die commotionis.
15 Their king will go into captivity, he and his officials together,” says Yahweh.
Et ibit Melchom in captivitatem, ipse, et principes eius simul, dicit Dominus.
