Amos 1
1 Perkataan yang dinyatakan kepada Amos, salah seorang peternak domba dari Tekoa, tentang Israel pada zaman Uzia, raja Yehuda, dan dalam zaman Yerobeam, anak Yoas, raja Israel, dua tahun sebelum gempa bumi.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what 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 earth-shock.
2 Berkatalah ia: "TUHAN mengaum dari Sion dan dari Yerusalem Ia memperdengarkan suara-Nya; keringlah padang-padang penggembalaan dan layulah puncak gunung Karmel."
And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.
3 Beginilah firman TUHAN: "Karena tiga perbuatan jahat Damsyik, bahkan empat, Aku tidak akan menarik kembali keputusan-Ku: Oleh karena mereka telah mengirik Gilead dengan eretan pengirik dari besi,
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.
4 Aku akan melepas api ke dalam istana Hazael, sehingga puri Benhadad dimakan habis;
And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.
5 Aku akan mematahkan palang pintu Damsyik dan melenyapkan penduduk dari Bikeat-Awen serta pemegang tongkat kerajaan dari Bet-Eden; dan rakyat Aram harus pergi sebagai orang buangan ke Kir," firman TUHAN.
And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.
6 Beginilah firman TUHAN: "Karena tiga perbuatan jahat Gaza, bahkan empat, Aku tidak akan menarik kembali keputusan-Ku: Oleh karena mereka telah mengangkut ke dalam pembuangan suatu bangsa seluruhnya, untuk diserahkan kepada Edom,
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.
7 Aku akan melepas api ke dalam tembok Gaza, sehingga purinya dimakan habis;
And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:
8 Aku akan melenyapkan penduduk dari Asdod dan pemegang tongkat kerajaan dari Askelon; Aku akan mengacungkan tangan-Ku melawan Ekron, sehingga binasalah sisa-sisa orang Filistin," firman Tuhan ALLAH.
Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.
9 Beginilah firman TUHAN: "Karena tiga perbuatan jahat Tirus, bahkan empat, Aku tidak akan menarik kembali keputusan-Ku: Oleh karena mereka telah menyerahkan tertawan suatu bangsa seluruhnya kepada Edom dan tidak mengingat perjanjian persaudaraan,
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.
10 Aku akan melepas api ke dalam tembok Tirus, sehingga purinya dimakan habis."
And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.
11 Beginilah firman TUHAN: "Karena tiga perbuatan jahat Edom, bahkan empat, Aku tidak akan menarik kembali keputusan-Ku: Oleh karena ia mengejar saudaranya dengan pedang dan mengekang belas kasihannya, memendamkan amarahnya untuk selamanya dan menyimpan gemasnya untuk seterusnya,
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.
12 Aku akan melepas api ke dalam Teman, sehingga puri Bozra dimakan habis."
And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.
13 Beginilah firman TUHAN: "Karena tiga perbuatan jahat bani Amon, bahkan empat, Aku tidak akan menarik kembali keputusan-Ku: Oleh karena mereka membelah perut perempuan-perempuan hamil di Gilead dengan maksud meluaskan daerah mereka sendiri,
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.
14 Aku akan menyalakan api di dalam tembok Raba, sehingga purinya dimakan habis, diiringi sorak-sorai pada waktu pertempuran, diiringi angin badai pada waktu puting beliung;
And I will make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:
15 dan raja mereka harus pergi sebagai orang buangan, ia bersama-sama dengan pembesar-pembesarnya," firman TUHAN.
And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
