< 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.
Words of Amos—who has been among herdsmen of Tekoa—that he has seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
2 Kinunana, “Agungor ni Yahweh idiay Sion; ipigsana ti timekna idiay Jerusalem. Agladingit dagiti pagpapaaraban dagiti agpaspastor, aglaylay ti tuktok ti Carmel.”
and he says, “YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And pastures of the shepherds have mourned, And the top of Carmel has withered!”
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.
And thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
4 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy iti balay ni Hazael ket mapuoranto dagiti sarikedked ti Ben Hadad.
And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it has consumed the palaces 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 have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a scepter from Beth-Eden, And the people of Aram have been removed to Kir,” said YHWH.
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 said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,
7 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy kadagiti pader ti Gaza ket mapuoranto dagiti sarikedkedna.
And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it has consumed her palaces;
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 have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a scepter from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And the remnant of the Philistines have perished,” said Lord YHWH.
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 said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they did not remember the brotherly covenant,
10 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy kadagiti pader ti Tiro ket daytoyto ti mangkisap kadagiti sarikedkedna.
And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it has consumed her palaces.”
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 said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing his brother with a sword, And he has destroyed his mercies, And his anger tears continuously, And his wrath—he has kept it forever,
12 Mangidissuorakto iti apuy idiay Teman ket daytoyto ti mangkisap kadagiti palasio ti Bozra.”
And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it has consumed palaces 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 said YHWH: “For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border,
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 have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it has consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of windstorm,
15 Maitalawto a kas balud ti arida ken dagiti opisialesna,” kuna ni Yahweh.
And their king has gone in a removal, He and his heads together,” said YHWH!
