< Amos 1 >
1 Dagitoy dagiti banbanag maipapan iti Israel a naawat ni Amos a maysa kadagiti agpaspastor idiay Tekoa babaen iti paltiing. Naawatna dagitoy a banbanag kadagiti aldaw a ni Uzzias ti ari ti Juda ken kadagiti aldaw a ti ari ti Israel ket ni Jereboam a putot a lalaki ni Joas, dua a tawen sakbay ti ginggined.
The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa, which he saw about Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Kinunana, “Agungor ni Yahweh idiay Sion; ipigsana ti timekna idiay Jerusalem. Agladingit dagiti pagpapaaraban dagiti agpaspastor, aglaylay ti tuktok ti Carmel.”
And he said: The Lord will roar from Zion, and from Jerusalem he will utter his voice. And the beautiful pastures have mourned, and the top of Carmel has become dry.
3 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Damasco, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta inirikda ti Galaad babaen kadagiti landok a maar-aramat a pag-irik.
Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Damascus, and for four, I will not convert it, in so far as they have threshed Gilead into iron wagons.
4 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy iti balay ni Hazael ket mapuoranto dagiti sarikedked ti Ben Hadad.
And I will send fire onto the house of Hazael, and it will devour the houses of Ben-hadad.
5 Tukkolekto dagiti balunet ti ruangan ti Damasco ken parmekekto ti tao nga agnanaed idiay Biqat Aven kasta met ti tao a mangig-iggem iti setro a nagtaud idiay Beteden; dagiti tattao ti Aram ket maitalawdanto kas balud idiay Kir,” kuna ni Yahweh.
And I will shatter the crowbar of Damascus, and I will destroy the inhabitants of the camp of the idol and the holder of the scepter of the house of pleasure; and the people of Syria will be transferred to Cyrene, says the Lord.
6 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Gaza, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta intalawda a kas balud ti maysa a bunggoy ti tattao tapno iyawatda ida iti Edom.
Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Gaza, and for four, I will not convert it, in so far as they have carried out an excellent captivity, so as to enclose them in Idumea.
7 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy kadagiti pader ti Gaza ket mapuoranto dagiti sarikedkedna.
And I will send a fire onto the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its buildings.
8 Dadaelekto ti tao nga agnanaed idiay Asdod ken ti tao a mangig-iggem iti setro a nagtaud idiay Askelon. Ibaw-ingkonto ti imak a maibusor iti Ekron, ket matayto dagiti nabati a Filisteo,” kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo.
And I will destroy the inhabitant from Ashdod, and the holder of the scepter of Ashkelon. And I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remainder of the Philistines will perish, says the Lord God.
9 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Tiro, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta inyawatda ti maysa a bunggoy ti tattao iti Edom ken sinalungasingda ti tulagan ti panagkakabsatda.
Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Tyre, and for four, I will not convert it, in so far as they have completed an excellent captivity in Idumea and have not considered the bond among brothers.
10 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy kadagiti pader ti Tiro ket daytoyto ti mangkisap kadagiti sarikedkedna.
And I will send a fire onto the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its buildings.
11 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Gapu iti tallo a basol ti Edom, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta kinamatna ti kabsatna babaen iti kampilan ken saan pulos a naasi. Saan a nagsardeng ti ungetna ken awan patingga ti pungtotna.
Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Edom, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has been pursuing his brother with the sword and has outraged his brother’s compassion, and he has gone beyond his anger and has held onto his indignation until the end.
12 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy idiay Teman ket daytoyto ti mangkisap kadagiti palasio ti Bozra.”
I will send a fire onto Teman, and it will devour the buildings of Bozrah.
13 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Gapu iti tallo a basol dagiti tattao ti Amon, wenno gapu iti uppat, saanko nga ibabawi ti pannusa gapu ta binutiakanda dagiti masikog a babbai iti Galaad tapno mapalawada dagiti beddengda.
Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has cut up the pregnant women of Gilead, so as to expand his limits.
14 Pasgedakto dagiti pader ti Raba ket mapuoranto dagiti palasio, nga addaan panagpukkaw iti aldaw ti gubat, nga addaan iti bagyo iti aldaw ti alipugpog.
And I will ignite a fire on the wall of Rabbah. And it will devour its buildings, with wailing on the day of war, and with a whirlwind on the day of commotion.
15 Maitalawto a kas balud ti arida ken dagiti opisialesna,” kuna ni Yahweh.
And Melchom will go into captivity, he and his leaders together, says the Lord.
