Amos Propheta 1
1 Verba Amos, qui fuit in pastoralibus Thecue: quae vidit super Israel in diebus Oziae regis Iuda, et in diebus Ieroboam filii Ioas regis Israel, ante duos annos terraemotus.
Here is the message that was given to Amos, a shepherd from Tekoa in Judah. This is what he saw concerning Israel when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam, son of Jehoash, was king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Et dixit: Dominus de Sion rugiet, et de Ierusalem dabit vocem suam: et luxerunt speciosa pastorum, et exiccatus est vertex Carmeli.
And he said, The Lord roars from Zion, he shouts from Jerusalem. The shepherds' pastures wither, the top of Mount Carmel dries up.
3 Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Damasci, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod trituraverint in plaustris ferreis Galaad.
This is what the Lord says: The people of Damascus have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they beat the people of Gilead with sharp iron threshing tools.
4 Et mittam ignem in domum Azael, et devorabit domos Benadad.
So I will send fire down on the house of Hazael and burn up Ben-Hadad's fortresses.
5 Et conteram vectem Damasci: et disperdam habitatorem de campo idoli, et tenentem sceptrum de domo voluptatis: et transferetur populus Syriae Cyrenen, dicit Dominus.
I will smash the gates of Damascus, I will cut down those who live in the Valley of Aven, and the ruler from Beth Eden. The people of Aram will be deported as prisoners to the land of Kir, says the Lord.
6 Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Gazae, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod transtulerint captivitatem perfectam, ut concluderent eam in Idumaea.
This is what the Lord says: The people of Gaza have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they sent into exile whole communities, handing them over to Edom.
7 Et mittam ignem in murum Gazae, et devorabit aedes eius.
So I will send down fire on the walls of Gaza and burn up its fortresses.
8 Et disperdam habitatorem de Azoto, et tenentem sceptrum de Ascalone: et convertam manum meam super Accaron, et peribunt reliqui Philisthinorum, dicit Dominus Deus.
I will cut down those who live in Ashdod and the ruler of Ashkelon. I will turn to punish Ekron and the Philistines who remain will die, says the Lord God.
9 Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus Tyri, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod concluserint captivitatem perfectam in Idumaea, et non sint recordati foederis fratrum.
This is what the Lord says: The people of Tyre have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they exiled whole communities, handing them over to Edom, and did not keep their agreement to help each other as members of the same family.
10 Et mittam ignem in murum Tyri, et devorabit aedes eius.
So I will send down fire on the walls of Tyre and burn up its fortresses.
11 Haec 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.
This is what the Lord says: The people of Edom have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they hunted down the Israelites to whom they were related, killing them with swords. They attacked without mercy, tearing the Israelites to pieces in an angry rage that never stopped.
12 Mittam ignem in Theman: et devorabit aedes Bosrae.
So I will send down fire on Teman, and I will burn up the fortresses of Bozrah.
13 Haec dicit Dominus: Super tribus sceleribus filiorum Ammon, et super quattuor non convertam eum: eo quod dissecuerit praegnantes Galaad ad dilatandum terminum suum.
This is what the Lord says: The people of Ammon have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, because they ripped open pregnant women in Gilead as part of their war to enlarge their territory.
14 Et succendam ignem in muro Rabbath: et devorabit aedes eius in ululatu in die belli, et in turbine in die commotionis.
I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah and burn up its fortresses. There will be shouts on the day of battle which will whirl with rage like a windstorm.
15 Et ibit Melchom in captivitatem, ipse, et principes eius simul, dicit Dominus.
Their king will be sent into exile together with his princes, says the Lord.
